After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 170 I Agree to Peace with the North

Humuhan explained to everyone what coal was.

"I've asked someone to survey the area: the Northland has abundant coal resources.

But it is difficult for us to mine it ourselves, and we don’t need so much coal.

So we can cooperate with Qi Dynasty to mine coal and exchange it for other resources."

After hearing Humuhan's words, everyone started to think.

One of the generals asked, "What did the Third Prince just say? What did he mean by that?"

"Yesterday, the eldest prince sent people to chase the man who pretended to be Qi Wushuang. He threw a new type of weapon at us, and the weapon exploded automatically with a bang, killing and injuring many of us.

According to my analysis: this new type of weapon is more lethal than iron weapons.

So I thought:

If the Qi Dynasty uses this new weapon in large quantities, we will have no chance of winning on the battlefield."

After Humuhan finished speaking, everyone looked at the eldest prince and asked, "Does the third prince really mean what he said?"

The eldest prince had a gloomy face and kept his mouth shut.

Everyone then asked the eldest prince's uncle:

"It was your tribe that chased them out yesterday. Are the Third Prince's words true or false?"

The eldest prince's uncle was silent for a moment before saying, "It's true. That's a weapon I've never seen before."

If so...

Everyone became even more silent.

Seeing that no one spoke, the Imperial Master said:

"The most important thing now is to resolve the current dilemma. Whether it's war, withdrawal, or peace talks, we need to come up with a charter."

A general: "What if we retreat now?"

Humuhan:

"Then we will still be living in poverty and want of food, and the possibility of us moving south to occupy the Central Plains will be even lower."

A leader asked: "Can we really not defeat Qi Dynasty?"

Humuhan did not answer this question.

The general of the Northern King Tribe asked, "Will the Qi Dynasty agree to peace talks?"

"meeting."

Humuhan said:

"Qi Wushuang has just ascended the throne, and there are conflicts within the Qi Dynasty. He doesn't want to confront us at this time."

"Since there are conflicts within the Qi Dynasty, why should we negotiate with Qi Wushuang?"

Humuhan: "So, do you think we should continue fighting with Qi Wushuang, or retreat to the north?"

The topic returns to the starting point.

The eldest prince's uncle still wanted to fight for the eldest prince:

"Third Prince, you've been friends with Qi Wushuang for many years. Could it be that he promised you something in private so that you could persuade us?"

“I have done business with Qi Wushuang for many years, but I said I didn’t know his identity before.

It was he who gave me a letter of credit in exchange for 50,000 dan of rice and asked me to kill 500 Embroidered Uniform Guards for him. Only then did I know that he was actually Qi Wushuang.

If it were you, would you kill the Embroidered Uniform Guard for 50,000 dan of rice?

However, after completing this transaction, I never had any contact with him again, let alone accepting benefits from him and lobbying for him.

If you don't believe me, I will give up my right to vote and let you decide whether to continue fighting Qi Wushuang or choose to withdraw to the north. I will listen to you."

After hearing Humuhan's words, everyone fell silent again.

If there is 50,000 dan of rice as a reward, not to mention killing 500 Embroidered Uniform Guards, even if it means killing 500 people from other tribes, all the leaders and generals present will do it.

Because the North is so short of food!

After a while, a leader reacted:

"Isn't there a letter from Qi Wushuang? We can use this letter to threaten Qi Wushuang and force him to promise to give us food and silver."

If it were before, Humuhan would have to think about how to explain that Qi Wushuang was not someone who would be threatened, but now he doesn’t have to.

Seeing that Humuhan didn't say anything, the leader asked, "Where is the letter?"

"The letter was destroyed."

The one who replied was the national teacher.

"How was it destroyed?"

The Imperial Master told the story of how Ye Wuwei pretended to be Qi Wushuang and broke the promise yesterday.

After hearing this, all the leaders and generals condemned the eldest prince:

"Prince, how could you allow them to hold you hostage and destroy the letter so easily?"

The eldest prince's face became even gloomier and uglier.

However, some people also asked: Can we use this incident alone to threaten Qi Wushuang?

The Imperial Master asked him:

"Do you think Qi Wushuang will still be blackmailed because of this matter now that there is no evidence?"

As for the success of the peace talks, it is still necessary to spread this matter in Chamdo.

Finally, under the mediation and promotion of the national teacher, the generals basically reached a unified opinion:

Each tribe will send one person to negotiate with Qi Wushuang together with the national teacher and the third prince, and reach an agreement as soon as possible. Then the army can return to the north before the north is frozen.

Qi Dynasty military camp

Qi Wushuang slept for two hours. When he woke up, Ye Wuwei was not beside him.

Qi Wushuang put on his clothes and left the tent. He asked Yao Guangzhi who was guarding outside the tent, "Where is Captain Ye?"

"I haven't seen Commander Ye since I came here to take over Commander Qi's shift."

Where is Wuwei going now?

While he was thinking, Ye Wuwei came over.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Ye Wuwei looked at Qi Wushuang. Fortunately, Qi Wushuang was not completely unconscious, and the bandaged wound was not exposed.

Otherwise, I wonder what the soldiers would think when they see Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei injured in the same part of the body?

"Where have you been?"

"I went to see Tai'an. She was beaten with twenty military sticks and was bedridden."

"Not to say……"

Qi Wushuang looked at the black-armored soldiers outside and said nothing else.

"You know Taian's personality, isn't she a person who would lie?"

Yes, Taian is a straightforward person.

"Wu Wei, Tai An..."

"I know what you're going to say, but I'm thinking:

I am the mastermind of this whole thing, and the accomplices have all been punished with twenty military sticks. Wouldn't it be unfair if I, the mastermind, were not punished?"

Qi Wushuang would rather punish himself than punish Ye Wuwei, and quickly changed the subject:

"You have done a good deed, so you don't need to be punished."

Ye Wuwei said in his heart:

This is pure double standards! It's just that he's the one being treated differently!

At this moment, a soldier came to report: "People from the north are coming."

Qi Wushuang took Ye Wuwei to the main tent.

The visitor brought a letter written by the third prince, requesting peace talks with Qi Wushuang.

In addition to the three princes, the letter also had the signatures of the national teacher and more than a dozen tribal leaders and generals.

Qi Wushuang said to the visitor:

"I agree to the peace talks. The time will be set for tomorrow, and the location will be halfway between the two military camps."

After the people from the north left, Qi Wushuang summoned mid- and senior-level generals to a meeting.

Qi Wushuang sat in the main seat. Ye Wuwei looked at Qi Wushuang and could not see any injuries on his body.

Not long after, middle and senior-level generals arrived one after another.

Chu Taian also came, carried on a wooden board.

Qi Wushuang asked Qi Wujiang to read the letter written by the third prince:

"I agree to negotiate with them. As for the terms, what do you think?"

(A few words:

The scores for my work came out today, and they were so low that I almost became depressed.

It is not easy for an author to write, and it is even more difficult for an author like me who writes as seriously as I do.

I think the writing style of this article cannot be said to be very good, but it is at least acceptable, and the story logic is smooth without obvious loopholes.

If you don't like this book, just cross it out and don't read it. Please be kind and don't give it one star.

The author is too fragile to bear it.)
