The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 217
Shuangxi Town, the camp of the Han Army.

"Wang Tianyi is dead?"

Su Lin's tone sank, and the air in the room seemed to be a few degrees lower, making the people present feel cold.

Now Su Lin has cultivated the temperament of a superior, influencing his subordinates with every gesture.

This is not intentional by Su Lin, but it will be revealed inadvertently.

Bai Qi hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said in panic: "This subordinate led the army to attack at dawn and captured Pingcheng almost without delay. But I didn't expect the guard Wang Tianyi to be killed by the woman he robbed. The crime of the last general, please forgive me, my lord." disposal."

Su Lin frowned, originally wanted to use Wang Tianyi as a hostage to force the general of Shu to retreat, but the general of Shu's brother-in-law died, and now it was even more difficult for the general of Shu to retreat.

"Since that's the case, I don't blame you. Get up."

Bai Qi is not to blame if Su Lin knows this, and it is useless to punish him.

Just don't know how to take the next step.

"Thank you, my lord."

There was a slight sweat on Bai Qi's forehead, and he stood up angrily and stood aside.

In addition to Li Jinlong, there is another person in the big tent, Su Qin.

I saw Su Qin smiled slightly, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, leave this matter to my subordinates, and guarantee the retreat of the Shu Kingdom."

"Oh?"

Su Lin's brows stretched out. Since Su Qin said so, there must be a way, so he quickly asked, "Are you sure?"

"The subordinate followed to Pingcheng, and we have already investigated. Although Wang Tianyi is the brother-in-law of Liu Yan, the lord of Shu, he doesn't like this brother-in-law. Even if he dies, he may not be very distressed, and may even be grateful to us."

"We just need to state how powerful we are, plus the First Battle of Pingcheng made him see the might of our Han army, Liu Yanding will have some scruples, and then cede a few cities occupied by the Shu army to the Kingdom of Shu, give him a slap and a sweet date , I believe Liu Yan will retire." Su Qin laughed.

"But the city of Ba is occupied by the state of Shu. If we say to the state of Shu, will the Parliament of Ba agree?" Su Lin felt a little inappropriate.

"Hehe, my lord is kind-hearted, and I'm still worried about the Ba Kingdom. If the Shu Kingdom doesn't benefit from the current situation, and Wang Tianyi is killed, he will definitely not let it go. Liu Yan also dare not retreat because he cannot explain to the King of Shu. Now Liu Yan Yan is also riding a tiger, I don't know whether to advance or retreat, if we give those cities to Shu, it will be regarded as giving Liu Yan a step down."

"This move will surely persuade Liu Yan to withdraw from the army. As for the Pakistani side, anyway, the main force of the Pakistani country will be greatly damaged, so what if you don't want to?"

Su Qin's strategy is to take the benefits of the Ba Kingdom to the Shu Kingdom, let the Shu Kingdom retreat, and the three parties return to their original state. If this can be done, Su Lin will benefit the most.

Su Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We eat a piece of fat from the Ba Kingdom. If we give Shu a few more cities, the Ba Kingdom will probably vomit blood."

"Hehe, the situation is stronger than others. The Ba Kingdom must bear this dumb loss. If you don't agree, the lord can write a letter of divorce, saying that he will join forces with the Shu Kingdom to destroy the Ba Kingdom. He will definitely agree when the time comes." Su Qinyi The face is scheming.

Bai Qi's eyes widened when he heard this, he is really good at playing tricks, can he solve a war by turning his mouth up and down?
Su Lin nodded, patted the table and said happily: "Okay, that's it, Su Qin ordered you to go to the Shu State military camp to negotiate as an envoy, and at the same time send a letter of divorce to Jiangcheng, Ba State."

"Your subordinates take orders." Su Lin hastily cupped his hands.

……

Two days later, Pakistan, the palace.

"It's unreasonable. Your Majesty absolutely cannot agree to this matter. If those cities are ceded, we will lose nearly half of the country's territory. At that time, the country will not lose the country."

Zhang Ping was impassioned, and the content of Su Lin's letter was simply an agreement that forfeited power and humiliated the country.

Why do you make Ba Guo want to cede such a city by changing your mouth?

It is unreasonable to dig out other people's flesh and blood to show courteousness.

Ba Wang no longer had the spirit of the past, he sat slumped on the throne, his face looked a little old.

This battle severely damaged the vitality of the country of Pakistan, and I am afraid it will not be able to recover without more than ten years of hard work.

Now Ba Wang no longer has the ambition to become the overlord of one party, he just wants to live out the rest of his life in peace, at least he is still a king now, no matter how weak Ba is, he will not lose his food and drink.

Once Pakistan is destroyed, one can imagine what will happen to him.

"General Zhang, do you have any other options?" Ba Wang raised his eyelids, his voice was breathless, and his eyes were filled with expectation.

Zhang Ping clenched his fists, and just wanted to say that he would lead his troops to fight with Shu, but when he thought about it, he didn't have the money to fight now.

He sighed deeply, knowing that he couldn't do this, so he could only say: "The general has no other choice."

"Oh, forget it, this is the doom of my Ba Kingdom, and there is no way to cede a few cities in exchange for the peace of the people."

Now Ba Wang has no choice but to pull a fig leaf, and call it a good name: In order to prevent the lives of the people from being ruined.

But he never thought that recruiting 10,000+ farmers into the army, wouldn't it be another way of ruining lives?

Farmers died in battle, how many families lost their pillars, how many wives lost their husbands, how many children lost their fathers?
"Your Majesty is merciful."

Zhang Ping sighed, and bowed his hands deeply.

"The king agrees to all the conditions. You can send someone to discuss it. I only hope that they can keep their promises and withdraw after signing the document." When Ba Wang finished speaking, his face became even more old-fashioned.

"Here."

Zhang Ping felt very humiliated, lost his power and humiliated the country, and had to send someone to Shangba to take him to the city.

Thinking that this was all caused by that Surin, he suddenly felt very powerless.

That woman is unfathomable. She is obviously a weak woman with stunning looks, but why can she control such a terrifying force? What kind of magic power does she have?
……

335 BC, winter.

Ba, Shu, and the Han army signed an alliance in Pingcheng.

Dacheng, Pingcheng, and Xicheng belonged to the Han army, because these three cities themselves were occupied by Surin, and basically they were not ceded, but they were only recognized by the Ba Kingdom.

Ningcheng and other five cities were ceded to the Shu army. These five cities have also been actually occupied by the Shu Kingdom, and the Shu Kingdom withdrew after signing the covenant.

So far, Pakistan has been divided into nearly half of its territory, and its national power has been greatly reduced.

The current state of Pakistan is just dying. Before the First World War, too many people were mobilized, which led to the shortage of food supply in various places.

The people fled one after another, and these populations were exactly what the Han army needed.

Surin immediately sent people to set up strongholds on major roads to absorb these refugees.

Now Su Lin controls the big city of Seoul and the nearby huge mountains, plus the three cities that attacked Ba.

The land area is already comparable to half the size of South Korea.

The total population is close to 30. If calculated according to the ratio of [-] to [-] of the population, at least [-] troops can be formed, equipped with sophisticated weapons and armor.

Even though it is the last among the nations, it is still a force that cannot be underestimated.

After the war, meritorious deeds were rewarded, and those who made meritorious deeds were promoted to a higher level.

Now that such a large territory has been conquered, people's minds have changed, and they all want Su Lin to become king on his own.

After all, Su Lin is still the Chehou under the Chu State. If he can establish himself as king, he can attract talents from all over the world to join him and accelerate the development of the Han State.

But there are also disadvantages, the wood is more beautiful than the forest and the wind will destroy it.

Once he establishes himself as king, he will not be the king entrusted by Emperor Zhou. It is likely to cause siege from other countries and cause this new power to suffer a major blow.

Instead, the gains outweigh the losses.

After thinking about it, Su Lin felt that it is better to suspend becoming a king, and accumulate strength first, and wait until the two countries of Bashu are annexed, then he will be the real powerful king.
