Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family
Chapter 377: Taking Over the Tide
Gu Xingyan nodded: "Yanyan, do you still remember what I told you about the content of the peace treaty signed in the previous life?"
"Yes, I remember, but this time it's more than twice as much as in the previous life."
Li Shuangwan frowned and thought, not quite understanding: "Do you feel that the High Priest of Zhao State seems to be doing it on purpose? To deliberately anger Gu Xingyuan, but why did he do this?"
Gu Xingyan sighed softly. He had been forgetting one important thing: "There is something I haven't told you. The king of Zhao was killed by Ava in his previous life."
Li Shuangwan almost exclaimed, "I see. But why? What happened later? How could Ava kill the king?"
It can be seen that although he is cruel, he is a loyal man to the emperor.
Otherwise, with his talent, the large number of troops under his command, and his prestige among the people of Zhao, he would have seized the throne long ago.
"While he was held captive by me, the King of Zhao believed the slander and killed more than 60 members of his family before he returned home."
"After he returned, he was also ostracized as a criminal of Zhao State. Ava could no longer bear it and finally sneaked into the king's tent one night and killed him."
Gu Xingyan sighed softly and said, "Then he committed suicide."
"Otherwise, if there was such a strong enemy like him in my previous life, even if Zhao Kingdom tore up the alliance first and invaded Daliang, I would not be able to destroy Zhao Kingdom so quickly."
Li Shuangwan understood: "No monarch can tolerate the life of an enemy who killed him. So, Xingyan, when the high priest left Zhao, the monarch of Zhao should have given him a secret order. Asking him to..."
Li Shuangwan made a "killing" gesture: "Who do you think this high priest is?"
"He is very cunning and sly. In my previous life, I talked to him more than 20 times and it took me nearly two months to finally come to an agreement."
Li Shuangwan paced back and forth for a few steps, then walked up to Gu Xingyan and said, "I think forcing Gu Xingyuan to kill Ava in order to minimize the compensation paid by Zhao State is the private behavior of this high priest."
"possible."
After all, when the high priest set out from the capital of Zhao State, he did not know that his brother would send Gu Xingyuan as the chief envoy of the negotiations.
It was him in the previous life, and the monarch of Zhao would not let the high priest take risks.
"If Ava can take over Daliang for him, maybe he will allow him to live a few more years."
"Unfortunately, he still lost, and lost even more thoroughly."
"Yes. By using the hand of Gu Xingyuan, the prince of Daliang, to kill him, we can make the most of Ava's death."
Li Shuangwan agreed: "So, the messenger just said that the Zhao Kingdom delegation was making a big fuss. He did it on purpose. He wanted to let the Zhao Kingdom soldiers imprisoned in the valley of Sun Moon Mountain know about it."
"First, it can arouse the indignation of the people of Zhaoguo."
"Secondly, to force Daliang to make the greatest possible concessions."
"Thirdly, we want to let Northern Jin, Xia, and Northern Qi see how shameless the Prince of Daliang is."
Li Shuangwan snorted coldly: "What a great plan to kill two birds with one stone! Gu Xingyuan is so stupid that he doesn't even know he's being used by others!"
Shu Wenbo was very fast and finished writing the whole story in just a moment. He dried the paper in his hand and handed it to Gu Xingyan: "Brother Jiu, take a look. Is this okay?"
Gu Xingyan only glanced at it quickly and said, "Okay."
He walked outside and whistled, and his Saker Falcon swooped down with a long roar and landed steadily on Gu Xingyan's arm.
After tying up the letter tube, Lan Yue shook his wrist upwards, let out another long roar, and flew towards Sijiu City.
Jia Cheng and Mo Lin have already prepared the horses.
Shu Wenbo, Liang Tianyou, Cui Jingyu, and Hong Shuang also came over with their horses: "Nine Brother (Master), we will go with you."
Gu Xingyan nodded, and turned to Ma Jingwei and others to give orders: "I will return to Rangcheng immediately. During my absence, the army will camp here. Ma Jingwei, you will command the entire army."
"Yes."
The eight men jumped on their horses, and in a moment, their figures disappeared from sight.
Ma Jingwei and others looked heavy-hearted, wondering whether the Marshal could properly resolve the matter.
Gu Xingyan, Li Shuangwan and eight others rode at full speed, and three days later, they were standing at the gate of the command post of former General Tang Shi in Rangcheng.
Wu Peikun had been appointed as the defender of Rangcheng. When he saw Gu Xingyan and his party arrive, he breathed a sigh of relief and ran up to him.
Excitedly said: "Marshal, you are finally here!"
"How has the situation developed?" Gu Xingyan asked as he strode inside.
Wu Peikun shook his head and sighed, "Alas, when Ava died, he was just used by the high priest of Zhao State. He ordered people to spread the news about how King Chen tortured Ava to death."
"How they tortured the Zhao prisoners. Those words are simply unbearable to hear."
"The Zhao soldiers in Sun Moon Mountain have launched several riots. I am incompetent and can only give most of our own food and meat to the Zhao soldiers."
He smiled bitterly: "We can only eat half full, but even so, the effect is minimal."
"After Ava's death, the high priests were even less likely to make concessions. They even proposed that they would not cede the five cities, and at most pay a compensation of one million taels of silver and thirty thousand sheep, and nothing else would be discussed."
"Otherwise, they will make it known to the world and ask the other three countries to come and judge."
As a general, his eyes turned red when he said this.
General Liang and several other officials were still under house arrest by King Chen's men, and even he could not see them.
He went to ask for help several times, but to no avail.
Although only five days had passed since the incident, he could no longer hold on.
The food and fodder were given to the Zhao soldiers. It would be okay if their own soldiers didn’t have enough to eat for a day or two, but what would they think over time?
Once the captured soldiers in the Sun and Moon Valley are well fed and a full-scale riot breaks out, what should he do when he only has 100,000 men on hand?
"General, if you don't come again, I really don't know what to do."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Gu Xingyan's eyes.
"What about others?"
"Your Highness, are you asking about Prince Chen? Him? Oh, ever since the incident happened, he has been hiding in the county governor's mansion and has not come out for the past few days. But, alas..."
"General, I even heard singing and dancing coming from the county governor's mansion yesterday. Tell me, at this time, how can he still be enjoying himself?"
Is this something a prince from Daliang can do?
The situation is so dire, but he doesn't feel any crisis at all.
"Come here, take the seal from Gu Xingyuan and remove him from his position as the main negotiator."
"Yes!"
"Tie him up and bring him here."
"Yes!"
"Release the gentlemen immediately and go with me to see the High Priest of Zhao State."
"Yes!"
With three orders, the entire command post, which had been silent for five days, came alive.
A quarter of an hour later, Gu Xingyuan was tied up and brought in front of Gu Xingyan.
