Zhang Su and others knew this requirement well. After all, after they won the previous battle, they had estimated that the other party would need to have peace talks with them before they regained their composure.
Both the Han army and the Kushan army are in great need of this. Some things will eventually be lacking if they are not discussed in detail in person. Therefore, Zhang Su and others also have estimates on this aspect, but this place has a lot to say.
First of all, it is impossible to be in the camp of either side. Although the Han army released Kushan after winning the previous battle, if Yan Yan is asked to take more than a dozen people to the Kushan camp, Yan Yan is not stupid and will definitely not go Do it, it’s not a question of courage.
Similarly, although Kushan was captured and released by the Han army, it does not mean that Brahe is willing to be so embarrassed again. Even if I believe that the Han Dynasty was generous and did not kill him before, he will not do such a thing this time. thing, but it was not a very comfortable feeling after all.
Therefore, the Kushan army will have detailed discussions with the Han army, but they will not come to the Han army camp to discuss it in detail. Likewise, the Han army will definitely not go to the Kushan army camp as long as they are not sick.
As a result, Kushan and the Han army had to choose another place for detailed discussions. However, the Han Dynasty was not familiar with this area, and the main thing recently was to clean up those vassal states that had not proven their existence for many years.
Zhang Su, Qin Mi and others are not willing to do these boring things. In the end, this matter will be left in the hands of Kushan. To give you Kushan some face, you come up with a plan. As long as we think it is not too outrageous. That’s it.
And now the proposal given by Kushan is, I know you probably don’t want to come to our camp, and we don’t really want to go to your camp. Otherwise, we will set up three places. You can choose which one. , both of us sent people to arrange it.
Under the efforts of the Kushan envoy to explain the map, Zhang Su and others made a total calculation. The Ganges River was just the Ganges River. Although it was a bit far from both sides, it didn't matter. It was better to be farther away, so they chose They visited a place more than a hundred miles downstream from the confluence of the Ganges and Jamuna rivers, and then both parties planned to build something there as a souvenir.
Anyway, the one who is cultivating will not be himself. Zhang Su calculated it twice and will go there later. He will first clean up the nearby vassal states in the past two days and deal with these bastards before talking about it later. Anyway, there is still some time. .
After the Kushan envoy received a satisfactory answer, he rode back to his camp. Compared with the Han Dynasty, which was still pushing back and forth, after the Kushan envoy determined the meeting place between the two parties, there was an internal Qi immediately. Li Shi rushed over with Sanqian Headquarters first.
When the other party left, Brahe sent a letter to the Han Dynasty, asking if the Kushans would help them prepare various materials. The Kushans planned to build a permanent building there, that is, the Buddha. Ta, asked the Han Dynasty if there was any need here.
Zhang Su probably didn't even think about it at the time and asked Brahe to prepare the materials for the Four-Nine Temple of Heaven. Anyway, whenever there was a big event in the Han Dynasty, it was necessary to worship the heaven, and the temple of heaven was indispensable to worship the heaven. When Zhang Su thought about what he wanted to do on the other side, If they want to build permanent facilities, then they will build one here.
Although it is impossible to build a Temple of Heaven with a ninety-five-year system, it is still possible to build a four-nine system, so I sent this one to Brahe. However, when Zhang Su went there a few days ago, he did not even collect the stones for the Temple of Heaven he wanted. Okay, only then did Zhang Su react.
"Let's also pack up and prepare. There is nothing to talk about in this meeting." Zhang Su said to everyone with a smile, "Our task is very clear, which is to agree on the details in the credentials of both parties. As for the generals, don't fall into the Han Dynasty. The majesty is good.”
"Of course, we will inevitably ask about the internal situation of Kushan. Guishan will ask us about the internal situation. Just tell the truth. There is no need to be afraid of them. Also, don't blend the last barrel of highly distilled liquor. Take it to Guishan. ." Seeing that all the civil and military officials had expressions of understanding, Zhang Su immediately said with a smile.
"It's hard to talk about wine. I have recently collected a lot of materials from Kushan. The main method of cultivation there is Buddha visualization." Qin Mi frowned and said, "According to the original Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha does not allow drinking without reason. Yes, it’s okay to treat illnesses and so on.”
"Uh, is there anything else you can say?" Zhang Song frowned and said.
"Well, they emphasize that wine can blind the color aggregate among the five aggregates, so Buddhists generally don't drink alcohol, and you can see that they all practice in this way." Qin Mi said helplessly, "So wine There’s no need to prepare.”
"It's better to get ready. Da Yueshi used to drink. What's more, why should we follow their wishes? You can drink less, but if you don't drink, who is the loser?" Wang Lei said disdainfully, "The first three glasses of toast , they have to drink it no matter what the reason is.”
"We are the winners. At least the general etiquette must be in accordance with our customs to take care of them. But please don't do it the other way around." Huang Quan said with a smile, "It's better not to drink. It's easier to get drunk if you don't drink." You're so drunk, I don't believe they have the nerve to use their inner energy to dissolve the wine in front of us."
Back then, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were so tyrannical at Hulao Pass, but when they came to toast the princes until they were dizzy, they didn't say they used their inner energy to dissolve the wine in front of others. That's totally disrespectful.
As for Guishang, who had just been pushed to the ground and rubbed vigorously by them, who was qualified to shame the Han Dynasty?
Everyone nodded after hearing this, it was such a truth, there was nothing to be afraid of.
In the next two days, Lingbao and others vigorously dealt with the nearby disobedient vassal states. They eliminated the small states that Zhang Su had screened out and were said to be particularly aggressive. The treasury was completely emptied, and the population was first stored in Among the nearby vassal states.
In short, recently Lingbao, Deng Xian and others are said to have caused chaos in the Indochina Peninsula. However, no small country dares to say that the Han Dynasty is a tyranny. They are all silently waiting for the end of the Han Dynasty trial. As members, they do not pay tribute to the overlord country.
"That's it for today. We will hit the road together tomorrow. According to the previous allocation, De'ang and you guys will stay." Zhang Su said to Li Hui and others, "As for Lingbao and others, send a message to them , let them stop dilly-dallying, the vassal states that cannot be resolved before the day after tomorrow will be considered as having passed this liquidation, and they can continue the liquidation next time when there is time."
"No!" All the civil and military officials nodded, and then they dispersed to deal with their own affairs.
Early the next morning, Yan Yan led Zhang Ren, King Mulu, Wu Tugu, Wu Yi, Meng Da and most of the civil servants to the agreed place, which was relatively far away.
As for Meng Huo and others, they were left to guard the camp. The army's camp needed to be guarded by a reliable person. A cautious person like Yan Yan could not do such a thing in full force.
As for Yang Huai's three thousand headquarters, he and Kushan General Amir's headquarters have arrived at the alliance location first.
When Zhang Su and others arrived, they discovered that this poor place was basically a barren plain. As for the permanent buildings they wanted, whether it was a pagoda or a temple of heaven, they didn't even have a foundation.
By the way, the pagoda can be better. The white marble building material needed for the Temple of Heaven is not yet known in Kushan. The only thing I can think of is to mine it in the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River and transport it here, but the distance is a bit bad.
As for the high-quality stuff near the Wenjia Dynasty, there is really no such thing, so Kushan is not easy to explain to the Han Dynasty now. They are really going to bite the bullet and go to the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River, close to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, to mine it.
Of course, other than this, Kushan is indeed doing quite well in other places.
"Respected General Yan welcomes you." Brahe was probably defeated at the hands of Yan Yan, and he was convinced of the defeat, so now every time, whether he sends someone to meet Yan Yan, or he himself He was particularly polite when seeing Yan Yan.
"You're welcome, Commander Brahe." Yan Yan was also very satisfied with the other party's respect and made a gesture of invitation. However, it was obvious that Brahe still signaled Yan Yan to go first. It can be seen that the first battle really made him The other party was convinced.
"Yes, please." After Yan Yan was polite for a few times, he still moved forward first, and Brahe followed closely. Only then did Yan Yan and others notice that the other party had led six inner gas detachments. of military commanders.
After both parties took their seats, Guishang didn't seem to have any intention of seizing the throne of the Han Dynasty. After Yan Yan took his seat, he began to introduce Guishang one by one.
"This is Zhang Ren, the captain of Han Jianwei." Yan Yan began to point to his people and introduce them one by one. By the way, Zhang Ren was previously a Sima of another department. This was because he had to send troops, so he was promoted. Otherwise, his official position would be even worse. .
All the Kushan civil and military officials were in awe, and they also saw Zhang Ren's performance that day. A general with legionary talents should not be underestimated.
However, among all the compliments, only one Kushan general showed no hesitation, and he happened to be Carano, who had exchanged names with Zhang Ren that day. Therefore, after introducing everyone, Zhang Ren couldn't help but ask the other person, "Carano, I fought hard for the country before, and you and I saw life and death. When I came down to the battlefield, I admired your loyalty, but why do you see me with disdain in your eyes?"
When Carano heard this, his face became even more unhappy, but after all, he was an alliance and could say anything he wanted, so he directly said, "That day, you smashed my formation and asked me if I would surrender, then The situation is over for me and I have already agreed, so why do you still shoot me down?"
All the Kushan generals also looked at Zhang Ren. The matter of Carano has been spread in the circle of Kushan generals. Carano and many others are very unhappy about this. It was obviously you who recruited Carano first. And Carano agreed, so why would you do it again.
In that battle, neither the Kushan nor the Han Dynasty had any intention of surrendering. You hurt feelings by doing this, do you know?
"Well, didn't you shake your head at that time? Does shaking your head mean you agree?" Zhang Ren asked in confusion, and turned to look at the others. Everyone in the Han Dynasty and Guishang looked at them with dissatisfied expressions after hearing what both sides said. opposite.
"I'm not shaking my head, I'm shaking my head..." Carano's mouth twitched twice, "Forget it, I know what happened. In that situation, you did the right thing, and I didn't lose unfairly."
The other Kushan generals still didn't understand the situation. After asking back and forth twice, they all looked helpless. This was completely a matter of cultural customs. They shook their heads left and right to express agreement, and the Han Dynasty shook their heads left and right. He just shook his head and refused to agree.
"Hahaha, let's drink to resolve the misunderstanding between the two of us!" Yan Yan picked up the wine bowl without restraint and asked someone to pour a bowl of highly distilled wine for the generals. This kind of wine is said to relieve hangovers without using internal air. , the inner energy left the body and the three bowls were thrown down.
When the generals of Guishan heard this, they also picked up their wine bowls. Contrary to what Qin Mi expected, the generals of Guishan did not refuse to drink at all. On the contrary, they, who were born in the Yueshi family, had a deep-seated affinity for wine like all the people in the north. Hobby.
After integrating with Buddhism, one of the few customs that remained unchanged was drinking, and even Buddhism was distorted by them.
This is also why Kushan's inner energy is divided into two types. One is the inner energy that comes out of the body through visualization and absorbs other people's inner energy. The other is the inner energy that is absorbed and achieves annihilation and nothingness. The monk came out.
Of course, most of the latter ones are not those who are resurrected after true annihilation. To be honest, after absorbing all the inner energy without leaving any residue, they focus on the Buddhist scriptures of birth and death, and the joy of annihilation as the core. Those who are ignited are monsters with strong minds and strong wills.
In other words, there are only a handful of true monks who don’t drink alcohol. The internal Qi separation of other Kushans is not much different from that of the Han Dynasty. You can drink wine and eat meat. If you don’t drink alcohol and eat meat, just rely on it. How can eating green vegetables replenish qi and blood?
Moggallana could cultivate to such a strong level that when Gan Ning lived in his place, he ate either venison or bear meat every day. I really thought that Moggallana watched Gan Ning eat meat and ate leaves and fruits himself. What a joke, others ate it. It’s five pure meats, okay.
If you are practicing martial arts, just eat vegetables and wait until you lose weight through training. Isn’t it a suicide attempt if you can’t keep up with your nutrition?
After a bowl of wine, there were two generals in Guishan on the spot who were blushing, but they couldn't stop praising how strong the wine was. Like the barbarians in the north, the Kushan people also liked this kind of strong wine.
After finishing this bowl of wine, the atmosphere between the two parties became much more lively. Brahe immediately clapped his hands and asked the dancers who were ready to come up and start dancing.
Different from the dances that need to be performed on the stage in the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, the Kushan people do not pay attention to these. They are hot and enthusiastic. In the words of the Han Dynasty, this is the sound of decadence, the joy of subjugation, but generally speaking, adult men They all have this side.
They talk righteously and say "I don't want it", but when they really dance to show you, most of the time they can't take their eyes off it, especially a dancer like Kuishang who has traveled to several countries and considered all of them to be the most beautiful. Even Yan Yan was a little angry after getting this kind of thing. .
