Okita Guixin sat in the elegant room of the state guest room and sipped the fragrant green tea, and couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart, to be honest, in fact, Okita Guixin longed for the life of the Central Plains very much, but the reality of the situation made his dream almost impossible to realize

A moment later, a Royal Forester came and asked, "Messenger, please follow me!" ”

Okita Guixin took two entourages to follow the Imperial Forest Army out of the state guest room, and came to the outside of the Qianqing Palace after a long gallop, and the Imperial Forest Army asked the three to wait temporarily, and he entered the Qianqing Palace. The two entourages of Okita were in a trance, they were all coming to the Central Plains for the first time, to Chang'an, to the Great Wei Palace, before that, they never dreamed that there was such a magnificent and magnificent city palace in the world

After a while, the Imperial Guards came out and said, "Messenger, please come in!" ”

Okita nodded and led two of his entourage into the Qianqing Palace

Okita stopped in the center of the main hall, and was about to salute when the two attendants behind him unexpectedly crossed Okita Kaishin in a trance and continued to walk forward.

Okita Guixin couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly stopped the two, the two stopped stupidly, turned around and looked at Okita Guixin, Okita Guixin lowered his voice and reprimanded, and the two hurriedly retreated behind Okita Guixin.

Seeing such a scene, Cao Cao and the cabinet ministers couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Your Majesty, the customs and etiquette of your two countries are different, and I hope to forgive me for the rudeness!" Okita confessed without humility or arrogance, and cursed the two disgraced guys in his heart.

Cao Cao smiled and said indifferently: "It's okay! ”

Okita Guixin took the credentials from the hands of an entourage, took two steps forward, raised his hands above the top, and raised his voice: "This is the credentials of our country, please look at it, Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Cao nodded. handed a color to Cui Yingying beside her, Cui Yingying stepped down the steps to take the national credentials from the other party's hand, and turned around to present it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao read it carefully, put the national letter in his hand, and said with a smile: "I understand what the dog slave king means!" Our Great Wei is not a country that is silent and unreasonable! The war is not good for the people of both countries, and of course I am willing to reconcile with the dog slaves. Reopen border trade! ”

Immediately, his expression straightened, "But the request to repatriate Lie Ce and the Leopard Country, I can't agree to it!" ”

Okita was taken aback, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, these two countries are originally our subject countries, and this request is not too much!" ”

Cao Cao smiled coldly and said categorically: "The two kingdoms of Lie Ce and Leopard are overwhelmed by the oppression, so they fled to Great Wei to seek refuge!" If I send them back, I will not only be ashamed of the two countries. I can't give an account to the subjects of the world! There is no need to negotiate this! ”

Okita was not surprised by Cao Cao's reaction, and if Cao Cao agreed, he would be surprised.

After thinking for a while, Okita returned to his heart and said: "This matter is very important, and it cannot be decided in the future, so I must ask my king for instructions!" ”

Cao Cao smiled indifferently and said, "Yes!" ”

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Okita Guixin understood that it was impossible for this matter to turn in circles, and he also understood that Cao Cao was not worried about his reaction.

In fact, what Okita Guixin said just now was just using an obscure method to put pressure on Cao Cao. However, this apparently did not help.

Later, Okita Guixin raised the question of prisoners of war with Cao Cao, but to Okita's surprise. Cao Cao even promised to return the prisoners of war to himself

Okita was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty doesn't have any conditions?" ”

Cao Cao said indifferently: "There is only one condition, the two sides exchange prisoners equally!" ”

Okita didn't know what to say when he returned to his heart. However, when Okita almost jumped when he heard the number of prisoners reported by Cabinet Minister Xun Yu.

"Your Majesty, are you mistaken? Nearly 40,000 soldiers were captured by you, so why did you only return more than 8,000? Okita looked a little anxious.

Xun You smiled and said, "The messenger doesn't have to worry! Your Majesty has just said that. The two sides exchanged prisoners on an equal footing, and there were only more than 8,000 prisoners captured by yours, so is there anything wrong with what we are doing? ”

It must be explained here that the soldiers captured by the dog slaves on the Great Wei side are basically the soldiers of Lie Ce and the Leopard State, and there are basically no soldiers who are really subordinate to the regular army of the Great Wei. Even if there were, they were captured when they were seriously wounded, and they are estimated to be dead by now.

Hearing Xun Yu say this, Okita was speechless when he returned to his heart

Xun You's face turned cold, and he warned: "This official heard that your country treats prisoners extremely cruelly, if there is any loss to our personnel, I am afraid that the number of these eight cadres will be discounted!" ”

Okita couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

Okita felt that the other party's approach was impeccable, so he gave up dwelling on the matter and asked, "I wonder what your country will do with the remaining nearly 30,000 soldiers?" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Xun You.

Xun You said to Chong Tian: "The envoy doesn't have to worry about the safety of these 30,000 captives!" My Great Wei is a benevolent and righteous state, and I will never do anything to torture and kill prisoners! But your country should pay attention to this! ”

Okita couldn't help but feel a little red on his face, and at the same time a little angry, because the other party's words made it clear that they were uncivilized barbarians.

Xun You continued: "As for the final whereabouts of these 30,000 captives, this official can't talk about it for a while, so it's better to put this matter aside for the time being, and first settle the matter that can be solved immediately!" ”

What else can Okita say? I just nodded.

Subsequently, the two sides exchanged views on a series of matters such as stationing troops on the border and exchanging prisoners, but no comprehensive consensus on these matters was reached until the evening.

Okita had to retire temporarily

After Okita Guixin left, Cao Cao rubbed his temples and said with a smile: "This Okita Guixin is not a soft persimmon!" But the hidden needle in the cotton should not be underestimated! ”

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true! The minister felt that he could make some concessions on some irrelevant issues! Jia Xu arched his hand.

Cao Cao nodded, "Wen He is right!" ”

Raising their heads, His Highness's cabinet ministers ordered: "From tomorrow onwards, Gongda will be fully responsible for this consultation!" ”

Xun Yu agreed.

Cao Cao pondered: "Although the peaceful coexistence of the two countries is the general trend at present, the Fusang Governor's Mansion cannot be taken lightly!" Wenhe, you immediately return to Fusang Dingnan Fortress, while supervising the construction of the fortress, while stepping up the armament war, do not slack off! ”

"Your Majesty is wise! The minister will live up to the trust! Jia Xu arched his hand

Cao Cao nodded, suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what about the recruits who have been added to the various armies?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "I believe that it won't be long before all armies will be able to return to their pre-war combat strength!" ”

"That's good! How has the compensation work for the dead and disabled soldiers been done? Cao Cao asked again.

Chen Gong replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the pension money and food have been distributed; At present, the Ministry of War is screening disabled soldiers who are interested in continuing to fight. ”

Cao Cao nodded and admonished, "Very good!" You can't be sloppy in this matter! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured!"

Cao Cao asked Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, with the implementation of the new policy, do the families have any reaction?" ”

Xun Yu replied: "Most places are quite calm, although there are some minor incidents, but all places can be properly handled, by the way, Luo Bo, the head of the Luo family of the Chang'an clan, has arrived in Jianye a few days ago!" ”

"Oh! It seems that some people can't hold it back! ”

Cao Cao sneered. "Tell the commander of the Jinyi Guard in Yangzhou to closely monitor every move of the entire Jianye!" (To be continued.) )
