Chapter 271: God Bless
Gu Shenwei summoned several patriarchs and important people in the clan, a total of more than 30 people, to come to his account to discuss important matters.
Fang Wen volunteered to persuade everyone by him, in case of failure, the Dragon King could also put the blame on the military advisor, "The worst ending, they won't kill me, right?"
Gu Shenwei refused, and decided to communicate with the swordsman leaders in person, Fang Wen nagged a lot of precautions, what words could be said and what could not be said, but the first sentence of the dragon king went against his meaning.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to negotiate a truce with Jinpeng Castle. ”
The tent exploded all at once.
Fang Wen squeezed his eyebrows and shook his head vigorously, at this meeting, he shook his head so many times that he got the title of "Shaking Head Military Division", and it soon spread throughout the military camp.
Long Xiaoshi, the one-eyed patriarch of Danduofeng, was injured, and stood up on the ground, pulling the wound, grinning in pain, "Truce? Dragon King, what do you mean by this?"
The patriarch of Luoshen Peak did not follow, and it was a young man in his twenties who took the responsibility, and he also got up, and then thought that he was not qualified to speak for the time being, so he sat down with a bang, and used too much force to almost fall over.
The patriarch of Xiaojian Peak, like the military advisor, shook his head again and again, and said "impossible" every time he shook his head.
The grumpy Great Sword Peak Patriarch screamed, his qi and blood surged, and his serious injuries had not healed, so he fell headlong and fainted.
The others also stared at each other and waved their swords to express their dissatisfaction.
The old patriarch of Huagai Peak died in battle, and his son succeeded him, that is, the dragon king's back knife attendant, named Long Chuanyun, who had just received the treasure knife from the dragon king, and did not open his mouth to oppose it out of loyalty, but his face was flushed, obviously disagreeing with the peace.
Gu Shenwei waited for everyone to vent, and said: "In the name of 'the head of the dragons and the king of the five peaks', I implore the people of the sky to give me three years, within three years, if I can't burn Jinpeng Fort and exterminate the Shangguan family, I will be willing to suffer the curse of heaven and apologize for my sins with death." ”
The mountain people of the Great Snow Mountain claim to be the descendants of the gods of the heavens, and they are the most jealous of the "heavenly punishment", and the dragon king makes a promise with this, which is the most sincere plea.
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
The patriarch of the Great Sword Peak just woke up faintly, and when he heard the words of the Dragon King, he felt both sad and angry, and felt sad at the same time, "Dragon King, Dragon King, why did you make such an oath, why did you bow to the enemy? Is it because the Great Snow Mountain Erlang is not brave enough to disappoint you, or is it that you are bewitched by the evil man without the protection of the ice and snow?"
Tuo Neng's teeth were silent, Fang Wen was a thief, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he was about to open his mouth to refute it, but he glanced at the dragon king, and shut up stupidly.
"The bravery of the Great Snow Mountain Erlang is unrivaled in the world. Gu Shenwei thought of many ways to persuade him, and finally decided to be open and honest, these swordsmen were his core strength and most valuable wealth, and if he made them disagree, all his plans would be in vain.
"Every swordsman is a gift from heaven to the mortal world, so I can't let you die in vain. Those who died, and those who were going to die, were losses that I didn't want to bear. I want you to live and become the most honorable group of people in the world, and when you step on the ruins of Jinpeng Castle, the entire Western Regions will bow down to you. This is my promise, the Dragon King, and for this I am going to play some tricks, which is what the enemy is best at, and now, I will use it against the enemy. I have nothing to hide from you, and I hope you will believe me and agree with what I do. But as long as there is a swordsman in this camp who says, 'I don't agree to make peace,' I won't do that." ”
For a long time, no one spoke again, everyone lowered their heads, chewing the pain in their hearts, for the sake of the Dragon King, they wanted to bite this pain and swallow it into their stomachs, and finally Long Xiaoshi sighed and said: "There are so many swordsmen, everyone has an enmity with Jinpeng Castle, how to tell them?"
"Let the gods speak. ”
As the patriarchs had expected, the swordsmen had just experienced a terrible war, and the hatred in their hearts was at its highest point, when they proposed peace, which immediately caused an uproar in the camp.
Gu Shenwei gathered everyone in an open space, repeated what he had said to the patriarchs, and finally asked, "I ask you now, are you willing to give the right to negotiate peace or not to the Heavenly God?"
No one wants to make peace, but no one stands up against it, this is the Dragon King, stopping the five peaks from fighting for many years, twisting them together, and taking them out of the Great Snow Mountain, they once swore allegiance to the sky to this person, and the oath of the Great Snow Mountain will never be broken.
"Let the gods decide. Someone said, and everyone agreed.
The three warlocks who came with the army were ready to slaughter the nine horses, nine oxen, and nine sheep for sacrifice, and then burned them on a nearby mountain, and threw their entrails on the ground to find the will of the heavens.
Fang Wen didn't believe in this kind of thing, and asked the Dragon King in private, "This is superstition, can it work?" If the warlocks talk nonsense, we won't have any room for maneuver." ”
"The heavens always favor me. Gu Shenwei was very sure that he was more sure of the "gods" than the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, but there were some secrets that he would not tell anyone.
At sunrise the next day, the warlocks announced the divine decree in public, with only four simple words, "God bless the Dragon King." ”
The cries of "Dragon King, Dragon King" were endless, and the swordsmen brought by Tuo Nengya also shouted, and the sound shook the mountains, and the Jinpeng Fort military camp dozens of miles away was shocked when they heard it, thinking that the Great Snow Mountain was sneak attacking, so they were really busy for a while.
The matter of peace negotiation has been decided, but there is still a lot of preparation to be made.
First of all, it must be kept secret, once the news of peace is spread, the Shule country will definitely be furious if it is deceived, and it is certain to block the retreat, and it may even send troops to attack, and take advantage of the last friendly period to collect supplies for the winter as much as possible in the Daxue Mountain camp, and prepare for a long-term defense.
Jinpeng Fort helped a lot, Dubu King originally planned to establish a long-term stronghold in the valley, for which a large amount of supplies were stored, Gu Shenwei led two hundred cavalry to raid eight hundred swordsmen, not only disrupted Dubu Wang's plan, but also took over this batch of materials.
Xu Xiaoyi brought a lot of things from Shule City and Long Zhuying from Daxue Mountain, and the front and back together were enough for nearly 3,000 people to hold out for four or five months until next spring.
The second is the candidate, Jinpeng Fort will definitely do everything to prevent the Great Snow Mountain from uniting with other forces, once the peace personnel are out of the protection of the barracks, every step is dangerous.
Fang Wen decided to go to the Central Plains to lobby alone in the Western Regions Protectorate, this was his dream as a strategist, of course, he asked for money, even the simple Daxue Mountain swordsmen felt that the military advisor was suspicious, what if he took the money and ran away?
Gu Shenwei decided to give money, not because he particularly trusted the military advisor, but because he happened to have a sum of gold in the east, "Take this letter and go to the Central Plains Army to find a person named Zhong Heng, he will take care of you and give you everything." ”
Fang Wen took the letter helplessly, hid it closely, and doubted that the Dragon King's face was really so big, that he could make an officer take out a few thousand taels of gold, and lamented his fate again, following a master who slammed the door, it was really difficult to think about some money in his hand.
Gu Shenwei only took Chu Nanping to Biyu City alone, the more people there were, the easier it was to be exposed, and his task was relatively simple, to obtain the support of all forces in Biyu City as much as possible, and he could return to the western military camp at any time.
In the end, it's how to pass the level, Duguxian has blocked the entire road, and there are many levels, and it is almost impossible to break through all the way.
Fang Wen solved this problem, and he was already prepared for it when he was still in Shule City.
So, one day in mid-September, a caravan of Shule Kingdom passed in front of the camp, and three ordinary-looking slaves mixed in, and their names were on the official list of Shule State, and the master also recognized them, for this list, Xu Xiaoyi spent thousands of taels of silver.
Shule Guo borrowed the road to Daxue Mountain, but there was no open break with Jinpeng Fort, and the two sides still maintained a semblance of peace and contact, so the border checkpoint of Jinpeng Fort allowed caravans to pass, and it took a whole day to carefully inspect all the people and goods.
After the first checkpoint, almost every village or town where they stop is checked by soldiers and stamped on the list.
This continued for three whole days, and the caravan moved extremely slowly, so much so that it was overtaken by one of the teams behind.
The governor of Biyucheng is appointed every three years, and is appointed by the three major powers in turn, and this year it is a native of Beiting.
Fang Wen once speculated in front of King Shule that in order to capture Jinpeng Castle, the North Court would make an exception and send extremely important people to serve as the city governor.
Sure enough, he guessed correctly.
The name of the governor sent by the North Court is Mozu, although the surname Mo is not a royal family, but it is one of the most important noble surnames, Mode himself is in his sixties, once served as a cardinal, retired at home a few years ago, and dozens of children and grandchildren are all high-ranking officials.
The bedridden old Khan of Beiting showed a subtle attitude by using the former important ministers to live in Biyucheng, and even the merchants felt that this matter was very unusual, adding a lot of speculation, and many even thought that Beiting did not trust Dubu Wang.
In any case, Mo Chu is a big man, and with his power in the North Court, his status is half a cut higher than that of most of the little kings of the Western Regions.
This can be seen from the size of his entourage, there are almost 500 people, more than 200 servants alone, more than 200 guards, dozens of clerks and more than 10 pet concubines, this Mo master is not old-hearted.
One of the merchants in the Shule caravan had been in contact with Mode's family, so he went to pay homage to the new governor and give them a large number of gifts.
As a result, the two teams merged together, and the rest of the journey was unobstructed, and there were no further inspections.
At the end of September, the caravan arrived at Biyu City, rested for a day, and continued eastward, during which a small misfortune occurred, and two servants fell ill and died, and their names were crossed off the list.
Gu Shenwei returned to Biyu City, the difference is that he was bent on killing people in the past, but this time he wanted to stop killing, the same thing is that his name means killing, as long as it is exposed, it will attract a group of killers.
He took out the Dragon Head Sword and the Wufeng Sword that were hidden all the way, believing that in the future, these two weapons would be inseparable from him.
