The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

Zhao Bingcheng left the Mobei camp with Li Ye and Zifeng.

The three of them were riding horses. On the way back, Li Ye asked in confusion:

"Why did Shopkeeper Zhao refuse today's peace negotiation? Aren't you afraid that Mobei will change his mind in anger?"

If it had been anyone else, what happened today would have been compromised, but Zhao Bingcheng dampened Mobei's spirit with his tough attitude.

Zhao Bingcheng calmly explained:

"The most important thing in negotiations between the two countries is momentum and attitude."

"As the victorious party in the war, we already have the initiative. There is absolutely no reason to hand over the initiative to Mobei."

"They put the seats in the corner, firstly to humiliate Helian. If I endured without saying a word, I would definitely lose face to Helian."

"The second reason is to wait and see Helian's attitude. If I endure it, it proves that Helian is in a weak position and we are at a disadvantage even before the negotiation. Then no matter what conditions we list, we will hit a wall everywhere. We must obey them in everything. In this way, this negotiation loses its meaning."

"Keep the initiative firmly in mind. Helian must be strong as well. Mobei is a defeated country and has no right to dictate to me, Helian."

Zhao Bingcheng said a lot. Although his voice was not high, it was as loud as a bell in the ears of Li Ye and Zifeng. They were enlightened and shocked. At the same time, they felt that the situation had opened up.

This is the first time they have participated in the diplomacy between the two countries, and it is also the first time they have realized that the diplomacy between the two countries has a hidden edge, and every small detail has its own special meaning.

Fortunately, Zhao Chengcheng was careful and could see through Mobei's tricks at a glance.

Zifeng looked at Zhao Bingcheng with eyes full of admiration, but there was something that made him puzzled.

"Now that we have taken the initiative, why not strike with them today while the iron is hot and negotiate with them?"

Zhao Bingcheng explained:

"Mobei was definitely dissatisfied with the loss of face by me. When they were impatient, they continued to irritate them. Don't do things too hastily."

"Helian defeated Mobei. Mobei suffered heavy losses this time. It is they, not me, Helian, who are anxious to repair their relationship with Helian."

"Retreating in order to advance will allow Mobei to understand the situation more clearly. When we return, they will think carefully about their situation and will not continue to be arrogant next time we meet."

Li Ye and Zifeng lamented that Zhao Chengcheng's mind-grabbing skills were simply unparalleled. By following him, they could learn a lot of knowledge they had never expected before.

Both of them looked at Zhao Bingcheng with burning eyes, like studious students looking at their teachers, full of admiration.

After they returned, another three days passed.

Mobei once again sent envoys to discuss peace documents.

With the experience from the last time, Gu Shanhe still sent Zhao Bingcheng to Mobei on behalf of Helian this time.

In a completely opposite treatment from the last time, Zhao Bingcheng's seat was arranged at the head of Mobei Khan.

In ancient times, left was respected, and the closer one was to the leader, the more attention he or she received.

Even the two bodyguards Li Ye and Zifeng arranged seats behind Zhao Bingcheng.

It can be seen that Mobei has fully absorbed the lessons learned last time, and this time is the real negotiation between the two countries.

The content of the negotiation is very simple, nothing more than signing the two-country harmonious household violation clause and so on.

In order to appease Mobei and prevent them from causing chaos to the Helian Kingdom, Zhao Bingcheng took the initiative to mention the Nalan Kingdom.

Just listen to him:

"Khan must have heard about the war between Nalan Kingdom and Helian."

To be precise, it was the Nalan Kingdom that unilaterally invaded and occupied the Helian territory in order to destroy the Helian Kingdom and achieve its unification and hegemony.

"Nalan is very ambitious. Once he captures Helian, he will continue to expand his territory. Khan, do you think Mobei can survive there?"

Mobei Khan heard this and thought deeply.

The geographical location of Helian Kingdom is not good and it is surrounded by many countries.

But precisely because of the existence of the Helian Kingdom, the surrounding countries have always been in peace with each other.

The Helian Kingdom is vast and powerful, but it has never invaded or occupied neighboring countries.

If the Helian Kingdom is destroyed by the Nalan Kingdom, the Nalan Kingdom will become the largest country in the entire continent.

The geographical location of Nalan Kingdom is very advantageous. It is located in the westernmost part of the mainland. There are no countries around it that can threaten Nalan.

If Nalan wants to unify the world, he can only go all the way east (refer to the unification route of Qin to unify the six countries)

Zhao Bingcheng remained silent, giving Zu Mobei Khan enough time to think.

Anyone who is smart will realize that there are many unfavorable factors after Helian was destroyed by Nalan.

As the saying goes, Helian is gone. Small countries such as Mobei and Lingjiang are unable to resist. Needless to say, they will be destroyed.

Realizing this, if Mobei continues to be an enemy of Helian, he will undoubtedly be helping the Nalan Kingdom.

After thinking about it, Mobei Khan signed a peace treaty with Zhao Bingcheng without hesitation. After Zhao Bingcheng proposed that trade between the two countries be possible, he agreed without hesitation.

This also laid the seeds for the future annexation of Mobei by Helian.

What Zhao Bingcheng is best at is not negotiation. When his business empire spreads to Mobei, it will not be far from Mobei being absorbed by Helian.

This negotiation ended smoothly, and without Mobei's interference at the border, Gu Shanhe finally had no worries.

He sent his two grandsons, Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi, and Zhou Ziyan to support him with [-] troops.

The three of them took the order, not to mention the hardships along the way.

At the same time, Helianjue, who was in Yong'an City, appointed Helianhuan to lead the army to resist the Nalan Kingdom.

After He Lianhuan received the order, he began to count out five thousand elite soldiers that day, preparing to go into battle with light troops.

After Gu Chengfeng went down to court, he returned to the general's mansion with a heavy face.

As usual, he first went to the old lady's place to say hello, and Gu Wangshu happened to be there too.

Gu Wangshu could see that the second uncle was preoccupied and guessed that something might have happened in the court, but she didn't take it too seriously. After all, with His Highness the Second Prince, who was extremely smart, he could easily solve any difficult matter.

But this time Gu Wangshu guessed wrong. No matter how smart He Lianhuan was, he was still a little unprepared when faced with the attack of the powerful Nalan Kingdom.

This means that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are in vain.

The current national power gap between Helian Kingdom and Nalan Kingdom is too big, so this battle is destined to be a hard battle.

Gu Wangshu didn't know this, so she asked casually:

"Is there anything that second uncle is worried about?"

Gu Wangshu and the old lady looked at him at the same time.

Meeting the eyes of the two men, Gu Chengfeng felt mixed emotions in his heart.

One is his most respected mother, and the other is his most beloved niece.

He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that the people he cares about most will die in the rebellion.

Once the Helian Kingdom is destroyed, important officials and family members of the Gu family will inevitably die.

Gu Chengfeng didn't really want to tell his mother and niece about the developments between the two countries. Even if he did, it would be of no use and would only increase worries.

"No big deal."

If he tells something, Gu Wangshu won't doubt it.

The more vague he became, the more fishy Gu Wangshu felt.
