It was not until late evening that Yongzhi cut to the chase and said: "I think that only the defeated will pay tribute and compensation to the victors." Now that the two sides have not fought a single battle, you will see us as the defeated and demand compensation as such, which is unacceptable. ”

Zhongsun Yu said: "The widow spends countless amounts of money every year to appease the princes and relieve the disaster, is this also the compensation paid by the loser to the victor? As the initiator of the war and the creator of the disaster, you keep saying that you have sincerity, is your so-called sincerity mean that the prisoners of war who are detained by the Xing people will not be returned, so that the bones of the soldiers who died in the war will not be buried?

"Why didn't any of the wounded in the North Camp come back? Is it because no one was injured, or did they all die in battle? Why don't you apologize at all for committing such a big crime? You say that you have suffered great losses, but they died on the battlefield of aggression, at the hands of the resisters, and they are innocent!

"Do you want us to compensate the invaders? If you want to compensate the Xing people as the vanquished, then the coalition forces themselves will go to seize the spoils, and you will not bother to send them! ”

That night, Yongzhi sent his deputy envoy back, and he stayed in the Qi division camp, because someone reminded him that the way back was dangerous and that he should be "mistakenly injured" by the enemy. After dinner, he learned that the two armies of the princes had been drawn and their whereabouts were unknown, and he analyzed that the Huaxia people should deploy that part of their forces on the north and south sides of the retreat of the Chidi army.

Yongzhi sent out a few followers to see if he could get some news back. One of the spies touched the back of Qi Huangong's tent and heard someone inside: "Uncle Xing, in a few days, the coalition forces will be able to cut off Chidi's retreat and surround the enemy." I'm afraid that the captured children of Xing Guo will never come back, and the widow hopes that you will be prepared in your heart. ”

Another sighed, "If this is really the destiny of heaven, who can change it?" Such a widow can only sacrifice them with the blood of Chidi! ”

The entourage hurried back and reported this conversation to Yongzhi. Yongzhi said: "This is said to me on purpose!" But it's true! Because Zhongsun couldn't say it to his face, Qi Hou used this method to convey it. As long as the enemy sends a few squads to occupy the ridge and block the canyon, and then the large army will follow, not only will we not be able to go back, but even the reinforcements will be wiped out, and it seems that we can only accept the other party's conditions. ”

The next morning, when the two sides were sitting together again to continue the negotiations, a lieutenant suddenly came to report that Chidi's deputy had been caught red-handed because he had taken up the task of spying on the military intelligence because he believed that he was the envoy.

Yongzhi knew that they were framed, but he was helpless. Zhong Sunyun's attitude became noticeably tougher, and he also lost patience. The Central Plains people cut off the connection between Yongzhi and the base camp, which forced him to submit to the status quo.

On Chidi's side, Luzi felt like a sun, and everything revolved around him, so he could only lie on the bed with his eyes closed and recuperate. The Chidi group of dragons were leaderless, and they did not know the situation of the negotiations, and the signs of civil strife had begun to appear.

After careful consideration, Yongzhi agreed to all the conditions of Zhongsun Huan, and then quickly signed the treaty.

After Chidi paid compensation to the coalition forces, the two sides began to withdraw their troops as agreed. After returning to Luguo, Yongzhi said to Luzi: "With Qi Xiaobai here, Chidi's expansion may be restricted." But we still have a great goal, and that is to defend the country.

"Wei Hou is extremely absurd and shameless, this scumbag actually brought a white crane with some flat hair when he came out of the division! When Qi Hou reproached him, he actually sent a personal guard to escort the crane back! It's called 'treating people as well as birds'!

"The country has experienced several turmoils, and it has long been poor and weak, and the virtuous are not allowed to enter, and the traitors are full of the court. Regardless of the people's livelihood, they only know how to indulge in pleasure, and their lives are full of pain and complaints. Centrifugal up and down, those who abandon the people will abandon them, how can the country not die? The country is destroyed, Xing Yan cannot exist alone, and then the land of Hebei is our world. ”

The heads of state of Chidi gathered again to discuss the matter of next year's division. But in winter, the Jin prince Shensheng defeated the Dongshan Gaoluo clan, and the battle nearly disrupted their plans.
