Song Che stayed in Dadan City for two days. While recuperating, he purchased melon and fruit seeds, but there was still no news about "Huo Huan Bu".
Bideng and other Hu merchants were disliked wherever they went, and the business would definitely not be done. In order to save their lives, they stayed in Dadan City for one night, and left the next day, saying they were going to the west, where the country The resentment against the Hu may not be that deep.
Therefore, the country is disliked and the people are pitiful.
The day after Song Che's letter was sent, Huihe responded and agreed to a symposium and meeting between the "leaders" of both sides.
For this reason, Song Che specially found a small village on the border between the two countries as a place for conversation.
Since it was the leaders of the two countries who were negotiating, both sides were afraid of changes and had sent troops to check on the points early.
When Song Che arrived at the meeting place, more than 5,000 troops from the two countries had surrounded the small village. Both sides were at war with each other, and a conflict might break out at the slightest spark.
Alas... why are two brotherly countries in such dire straits?
"Long time no see. My brother, you seem to have lost a lot of weight. Is life too hard? And your soldiers, why are they all so listless? Is it because they don't have salt to eat?" King Shamir of Uighur made a mockery right from the start.
Not to be outdone, Shakuiwen sneered: "What's the use of being strong? Look at the weapons and armors in the hands of my soldiers. They are all made of good steel and iron. If we really want to fight, one of them can withstand it." You three."
"Okay, you and I both have troops today, how about we come and have a try?"
"I think so too!"
"Hey, hey, hey... Your Majesty, peace is the most important thing in everything. Our conversation this time is to seek peace for the people of the two countries." Song Che was caught in the middle, trying to smooth things over.
Shamir snorted: "If we can reach an agreement, there will be peace; if we can't, there will be war."
Sha Kuiwen was disdainful: "If it weren't for the face of Ambassador Daliang, I wouldn't talk to you today!"
"Speaking of the envoy from Daliang," Shamir returned the document to Song Che and said: "Mr. Song, you should visit our Huihe country first. Our country is rich and powerful, and the food is more salty. , is more suitable for you to live in peace. After this meeting, you can come to us to return to Hehe!"
Sha Kuiwen dragged Song Che back to him: "The envoy visited us first, which means that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty prefers to make friends with us, Dadan!"
Shamir smiled coldly: "The Liang Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources. What do you want with your junk?"
"Shamir, do you want to test the sharpness of my sword?"
"Mine is not bad either!"
well!
"I'm so hungry!" Song Che shouted, rubbing his stomach.
The two monarchs were stunned for a moment, then they each put away their swords. Shamir pulled Song Che and said: "Let's go, Mr. Song, I have carefully prepared a roasted camel for you!"
"I prepared the wine, and you praised it before."
“How can wine be as delicious as roasted camel?”
"Don't drink my wine later!"
"I'm afraid it's poisonous!"
"You put poison in your camel meat!"
These two brothers must have had a good relationship before, right? It was more like bickering than a quarrel.
The two kings and Song Che sat down cross-legged one after another.
"Mr. Song, this knife for cutting camel meat was made by us. I hope you can get used to it." Sha Kuiwen handed over the knife.
Shamir took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks, "Don't you know Mr. Song is from Liang? Liang people eat with chopsticks and bowls."
"Okay, your majesties, cut off the meat with a knife, put it in a bowl, and eat it with chopsticks. There will be no conflict between the knife and the bowl and chopsticks."
Song Che went directly to the topic to avoid further disputes between the two. He said: "The purpose of Song's organizing this symposium today is to let the two countries stop fighting and coexist peacefully. Of course, there must be a reason for this. You two Your Majesty must think carefully, after all, this is a major issue related to the survival of the people,"
He slowly made a "one" sign with his fingers and said:
"The first reason for not fighting is that both Uighur and Dadan are split from the Huihe. You are brothers of the same clan. If a war breaks out, wouldn't it be fratricide?"
Play the emotional card first!
Shaquille threw away the camel meat in his hand, "Huh, I regard them as brothers, but what about them? They know that salt is a necessity, but they don't supply it anymore. What kind of brothers are they?"
Shamir said: "But we really don't need your steel anymore, so why spend money to buy it for nothing? Besides, I am the eldest prince, and I should inherit the Huihe throne. It all belongs to Shaquwen." Ambition will tear the country in two!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Sha Kuiwen shouted sternly: "When the country moved, the people of the various tribes in Dadan voluntarily followed me!"
Shamir smiled coldly: "Yes, they foolishly followed you, so they had to work hard to forge iron. But if they follow me, they only need to transport the water from Lop Nur to be dried into salt, and they will have enough food and clothing."
Shaquwin clenched his fists, unable to refute. Selling salt is indeed a more prosperous life than blacksmithing.
This emotional card is useless!
Song Che quickly raised his second finger and raised his voice:
"The second reason for not fighting is extremely important, but before I talk about it, I would like to ask first, how many troops do your two majesties have?"
Shaquille said: "We have 30,000 cavalry! There are also 30,000 young men! They are all blacksmiths, and they are full of strength!"
Shamir said: "We have 40,000 cavalry! There are no fewer young and middle-aged men than you! Moreover, we have abundant food and grass, strong horses, and higher combat effectiveness!"
"Huh, they're just a bunch of paper tigers that are useless."
"I can't stand your arrogance anymore——"
"What about the Hu army?"
Song Che's gentle words immediately told the two kings to suppress the anger in their hearts and then fell into deep thought.
Song Che added: "There is a saying in Daliang that 'the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit'. The salt of Huihe and the iron of Dadan are both must-have meat. The ambition and fighting power of the Hu people, the two The king must be very aware that even the Liang Dynasty ceded Xiliang under their iron heel, let alone you?
If the tens of thousands of cavalry in the two countries are all wasted in this internal fighting, I am afraid that when the Hu army comes, you will have to move again. "
The second card, the contradiction card, is already in effect!
