"And if Wuhuan makes friends with Daqin, then the Tuoba Xianbei tribe in the north that Daqin surrendered is the entire territory of the former Dai Kingdom. We can give it to the Wuhuan tribe as a gift to cultivate and herd. Intervene, Daqin and Wuhuan can do business unconditionally without imposing additional tariffs."

"Then how can you guarantee that you will defeat Fu Zhong?" Tu Liju asked rhetorically.

"Since ancient times, there has only been one end for rebels, and that is death. Do you want to make a contract with a dying person?" Xuan Cheng spoke in a condescending manner again.

Tuliju thought about it seriously.

Lu Guang added emphatically to the side, "Think about it clearly, whether your own tribe is important, or a contract that cannot be guaranteed by a piece of paper, what you are worried about is that the queen is Fu Luo's clan, but Fu Luo has been killed long ago Now, there are no relatives to speak of, the current Fu Zhong can't make things happen at all, he's just playing a banner, he can't make things happen because of his will."

"Since you are worried about whether we can win, well, the two counties of Yuyang and Shanggu that you took down, including Dai County, we will not take them back for now. You can still send troops to garrison them, as long as you promise not to go south to attack any of our Great Qin. For the city, after we kill Fu Zhong, you can return my Daqin city, that's okay."

"Is it true?"

A mysterious smile rose from the corner of Lu Guang's mouth, he approached him and said in a low voice, "This time your majesty ordered me to rehabilitate me, so I naturally have all the right to speak. Don't look at Mr. Yangping as aggressive, but he is just a younger brother. In the army It’s not about my rights, I have the final say.”

Tu Liju had a dubious expression.

"You still don't believe me? I am the son of the Great Qin Taiwei. It is not a word to mobilize the soldiers of the Great Qin."

Tuliju thought for a while, and finally held up the large bowls of kumiss on the table to show his sincerity, "Okay, I will believe you."

The soldiers and guards beside him brought cloths, pens and inks. Lu Guang glanced left at Xuancheng and right at Tuliju, "You two, please make an appointment."

Xuancheng watched Lu Guang mediate in the middle, but in the end he still couldn't realize what deal Lu Guang and Tu Liju had made. Anyway, the contract was drawn up, and both parties had a copy.

Tu Liju personally sent them to the outside of Daijun City. When they were parting, Xuancheng saw the two of them hugging and shaking hands, and the little thoughts that were about to move in their hearts spread again.

Lu Guang, you really have a strong taste, this is the conclusion that Xuancheng made silently in his heart.

In the end, Tu Liju came over with a smile and bowed slightly to Xuancheng as farewell, "Mr. Yang Ping, I wish you an early end to the rebellion, and Wuhuan and Daqin will communicate with each other and live in peace as soon as possible."

Xuancheng said firmly, "I will live up to the entrustment of the Wuhuan patriarch, so I will leave."

On the way back, Xuancheng finally wanted to press Lu Guang, "What did you guys talk about in private just now, why did Tuliju agree?"

"It's nothing, just meeting old friends and chatting about the past."

"Is it really as simple as talking about the past? Why does he believe you? Let me tell you, don't do anything that is not good for Daqin."

"No, don't you believe me? Am I that kind of person? However, it's better to be vigilant, Mr. Yang Ping, didn't you write a letter to Mr. Changle before? Let him transfer another [-] Send troops to Dingxiang and Yanmen counties to defend, although I can trust Tuliju, but after all, his queen has a deep relationship with Fu Luo, so I have to guard against the wind, in case Tuliju repents."

"Alright, I'll write a letter to Duke Changle right now."

Back at the garrison, it was around midnight. The first thing Xuancheng did was to write a letter to Fu Pi in Yecheng, and ordered someone to send it urgently. Ten thousand cavalry gathered and ordered the army to rest ten miles away from Daijun.

After solving Wuhuan's problem, the next step is to concentrate on dealing with Fu Zhong.

"Report, His Majesty's edict has arrived."

"Come in."

The herald sent Fu Jian's edict to Xuancheng, Xuancheng hesitated for a moment, it seemed that the edict came a little too frequently, so he accepted the edict, after reading it, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but take a long breath .

"Brother Huang knows better than anyone else."

"what happened?"

"Brother Huang ordered Shi Yue to lead [-] infantry across the sea to attack Helong and march towards Youzhou."

Lu Guang exclaimed, "This is a good thing. Your Majesty's thoughts seem to coincide with ours. If Shi Yue captures Helong, then Fu Chong will definitely send some troops back to Youzhou. Then, General Right's Jizhou battle It will be easier, we must march quickly and cooperate with Shi Yue's battle, so that we can encircle Fu Zhong and wipe him out in one fell swoop."

"Okay, let's set off immediately and send an order to order the army to continue marching northward without delay."

--------

On June [-], Fu Jian made arrangements for the situation after the battle on the Eastern Qin Front.

The eastern frontier captured by Qin still had to be defended. Fu Jian appointed Mao Dang as the supervisor of Xuzhou to guard Pengcheng, Mao Sheng as the supervisor of Yanzhou to guard Hulu, and Wang Xian as the supervisor of Yangzhou to guard Xiapi.

On the evening of June [-]th, the prison car that escorted Peng Chao and his victims arrived at Chang'an East City, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit and blocked the East City, and there were a lot of discussions.

"Damn it, hey, it's so embarrassing."

"The loser."

"Poor ah, the dignified Marquis of Guannei, he has also become a prisoner today."

The soldiers had to keep evacuating the crowd of onlookers to clear the way, "Okay, okay, get out of the way, everyone out of the way."

The prison van went straight into the Tingwei Office, and Nan An hurried to the Xuanshi Hall to report to Fu Jian.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have already entered the Tingwei Office."

"Order Tingwei to try it immediately, and report the confession. I want to see it myself."

"Yes, yes, but, Your Majesty, I heard that when Na Junan was dragged into the Tingwei Office, he kept calling for a face-to-face saint."

"What else is there to see? What grievances can a dying person say?" Fu Jian asked sharply.

"People from the Ting Wei Department came to report, saying that it is difficult to report important matters, and there is an inside story about the defeat in the Huainan battlefield."

"What? The inside story?" Fu Jian seemed to have heard something extremely rare, "The defeated general, what else do you want to say, you go and send an order for the Tingwei to have a good trial."

"Yes." Nan'an said yes, bowed and took a few steps back.

"Wait." Fu Jian stopped him, and Nan An froze in place.

"Forget it, a man's words are good when he's about to die, just listen to what he has to say, let Tingwei send him here."

"Yes."

It's so difficult that I would never have imagined that when I was about to die, I would still see the person he wanted to see day and night. He had a lot of grievances and wanted to confide in him, but after a failed battle, what awaited him was the harsh trial and investigation by the court lieutenant. and the final sentence.

On the battlefield, a defeated general has only one ending, and that is death. Whether he dies on the battlefield or recovers a small life by luck, he cannot escape the judgment of death after all.

Fu Jian would never have thought that a defeated general would still have grievances, so when Ju Nan cried bitterly in front of him, he was shocked.

The night had slowly shrouded the palace, and when the people from the Ting Wei Department were unable to deliver them, he knelt on the ground and climbed in step by step outside the Xuan Shi Hall.

Every time he took a step, he cried out, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged."

Finally, when he arrived in front of Fu Jian, his knees were worn out, and his eyes were full of tears, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have really been wronged."

Fu Jian pointed to his head and scolded, "Where have you been wronged? Back then, you and Peng Chao were like Guan and Zhang. They were brave and good at fighting. They must win every attack and win every battle. They are comparable to Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao. Enemy of ten thousand people, now, in a small battle of Huainan, within half a month, he was beaten and thrown away, and he was in a state of embarrassment all the way. I think your body is moldy and useless. What are you keeping it for?"

It is difficult to be a Di, and he was also a leader among the direct generals of the Di. In every battle, he led his soldiers to the front, captured countless cities, and became the most powerful general under Peng Chao, the Marquis of Guannei. The past achievements, the more I think about it, the more angry I get.

He kowtowed non-stop, blood oozing from his forehead, "Your Majesty, it's not what you said. At that time, our army had just reached the north bank of the Huaihe River, and I said that the Marquis of Guannei would build a bridge over the Huaihe River, so as to cross the river in time to avoid being attacked by the enemy." Sneak attack, but the Marquis of Guannei kept refusing until Xie Xuan fought our army in San'a. Hou Cai ordered the temporary construction of the Huaihe Bridge, but it was already too late, and everything was too late."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it was the Marquis of Guannei's improper command that led to our army's disastrous defeat in Huainan. I am wronged."

Fu Jian angrily threw all the memorials on the case and threw them down. In an instant, blood was splashed on his head, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"You're right. I think what you said is all right. If that's the case, why did you lose? Tell me, tell me." Fu Jian was furious.

"Come here, take this person down and ask him to kill him immediately."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are wronged." Ju Nan kowtowed non-stop and kept shouting. The soldiers who came in drove him and dragged him out. Seeing that he was about to reach the gate of the palace, Fu Jian raised his voice and stopped, "Wait a minute .”

Fu Jian approached Ju Nan's eyes step by step, looked down condescendingly, and then said word by word, "I hate to argue about winning or losing after the fact. I only look at the result, not the process."

"Get lost." With a deep word, he finally closed his eyes in pain, and he could no longer confide his full grievances.
