"Mr. Song, since you and I are so familiar with each other, I won't show off. I'm here for peace talks with you today," Arhan said bluntly:
"The two countries of Hu and Liang are close neighbors and should not be incompatible over trivial matters. If your country agrees to withdraw its troops, our country will return the Beiliang and Hexi Corridor that were ceded in the past in full, and will compensate a thousand cattle, sheep and horses as compensation. Compensation for the second war."
Song Che sipped his wine glass and said slowly: "You must have read the letter that Daniel brought back. The conditions for the withdrawal stated above are not only to return to Beiliang, but also to include the entire western part of the Mongolian grassland into my Daliang territory. The Hu people surrendered to the Liang people, established Jizhou, and returned prisoners of war, etc..."
Arhan gritted his teeth, "Does Mr. Song want us to subjugate our country?"
Song Che said: "If you set up a restraint and surrender to Daliang, you can still maintain the royal power and sovereignty. How can you talk about subjugating the country?"
Arhan said coldly: "Your conditions are too harsh, and we, the Great Khan, will never agree to it."
"Hey, Mr. Arhan, please don't rush to deny it. Since it is a 'peace talk', the most important thing is the word 'talk'. I just sat down and my buttocks are not even warm yet."
Song Che waved slightly.
A soldier walked into the shed carrying a porcelain urn and placed it on the table.
"In the past, I sent my student Daniel to our camp as an envoy, and I asked him a difficult question. He must have told you about it after he returned. So, today I asked Mr. Arhan the same question," Song Che said. :
"If you can answer this question, I will lead the troops to withdraw from Lucheng. But if you can't answer this question, then give me Shizui City, which is thirty miles away. How about that?"
Arhan stared at the porcelain urn, lost in thought.
Song Che added: "Since the battle at Lucheng, your country has lost all its elites, and they will not be able to recover in a short time. If our army attacks Shizui City tomorrow, they will be able to capture them... Arhan, I am doing this for the sake of my old friend. , you must not fail to make use of this opportunity I just gave you."
Arhan said in a deep voice: "Please give me a question."
Song Che picked up the porcelain urn, poured it down, and said, "There is a hard-boiled egg in here. It was stuffed in using the method used to test Daniel last time. As his teacher, you must be more knowledgeable. If you can take out the egg without destroying the porcelain jar and the egg, you will be considered a winner, and I will break camp and exit Lucheng immediately."
Arhan grabbed the porcelain urn, tilted the mouth of the urn downwards, and slapped the bottom of the urn with his hand, trying to use the inertia to knock the eggs out.
His method was not wrong, but the egg was much larger than the mouth of the urn and could not come out.
"Get the lamp oil!"
He also asked his subordinates to get lamp oil and smear it on the mouth of the bottle to increase lubrication. Although the egg was 30% out, it was 70% stuck, and it would break if it was pressed harder.
He tried to pick it up with chopsticks again, but still couldn't do anything.
At this time, sweat was breaking out on his forehead, and he wanted to give away a city if he couldn't solve the problem.
"Arhan, it's been almost half an hour. I gave you just one stick of incense as a student, but you are not as good as a teacher." Song Che urged coldly, which undoubtedly added a bit of pressure.
Arhan was so angry that he stamped the porcelain urn on the table, "Mr. Song wants to make money from me. You can make it clear. Why bother with such unanswerable questions to make things difficult for me!"
"Okay, I will convince you today!" Song Che greeted: "Bring hot water."
The soldier fetched a pot of tea, Song Che turned the urn mouth downwards, and then slowly poured hot water into the bottom of the urn. The temperature of the air in the bottle increased, which caused the air pressure to increase, and the elastic eggs slowly slipped out. The mouth of the urn.
Arhan gritted his teeth.
"Mr. Arhan, I need to pay for revealing the answer. Your student's legs are the fee, but we are old friends, so I won't forget this small sale with you, but you must do what you promised to give up Shizui City. Here." Song Che looked at Arhan: "This is a gentleman's agreement, right?"
Arhan had a stern face, as if he wanted to renege on his debt, and the attendant beside him slowly pressed his hand on the handle of the knife.
"choke!"
With a dragon's roar, Jiang Yuntian's sharp sword was unsheathed, and with a burst of sword energy, the swords of the two guards were shaken in half, and he warned coldly:
"If you dare to lift a finger again, everyone with a beard in this shed will die."
"Mr. Song, are Hu and Liang really going to get into trouble like this?" Arhan's face turned dark and gloomy.
Song Che spoke calmly: "To put it nicely and objectively, this is all what you brought upon yourself, the hatred and sins that you have buried yourself; to put it harshly and subjectively, to expand the territory and dominate the world is our dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor wishes in his life - there is no right or wrong in war, only success or failure."
"Do you really have no kindness to our Hu country? Don't forget, Princess Tuya is your wife." Arhan made an insinuation and a vague threat.
Song Che smiled disdainfully: "In the face of national affairs, what does a woman mean? What's more, she is so ugly... To be honest, when I go to bed with him at night, I turn off the lights and just think of her as a crotch It’s just a plaything, what kind of kindness can I say?”
The purpose of such scumbag quotes is just to protect Tuya and make her useless. It is definitely not Song Che's inner monologue.
"Then what if she is pregnant with your child?" Arhan asked.
Song Che's heart tightened, but he still said it didn't matter, "We are all men. We know best in our hearts whether we have sown seeds after working hard. Besides, we Liang people are different from you Hu people. We do anything that is against human ethics. It turns out that even if he is pregnant with my child, he will be criticized as a bastard. Song is a scholar from Daliang, with clean sleeves and pure skin, how can a Hu woman soil her identity?"
Seeing that women could not be a threat, Arhan said something that would destroy both the jade and the stone: "Mr. Song, you should know that 'unanimous foreign policy' is required, right? If your army really attacks Dadu, the millions of people of our country, Hu, will be wiped out even if they fight to the death." I won’t call you soft to surrender!”
Song Che shook his head, "Do you still remember the situations in various countries that I analyzed with you when you kidnapped me? From slaves to feudalism to nation, the order is from high to low——
How can you, a slave-owning society, be stronger than our feudal dynasty in Daliang? You Hu people are just barbaric nomads, with only a few million people. We in Daliang have hundreds of millions of people. Even if we replace them one by one, you can't shake them one bit. , this is the gap in national strength, and it is also the capital that allows you to become a vassal;
Politicians in various countries like to use moral kidnapping on ordinary people to achieve their own political goals;
But let me tell you, as ordinary people, they just want a stable life. Your Hu regime cannot provide it, but our Daliang regime will provide it. We even have a very loud slogan called 'liberate the slaves'. "
At this point, Song Che stood up and straightened his clothes, and said the last sentence: "It's useless to say more. There is no need to say more. I will give you two days to move all the soldiers and civilians out of Shizui City. If I find you doing something small during this period, you will be sent to At that time, I will lead my army to break through the city with force, and then I will slaughter the city with a sharp sword and show no mercy!"
Arhan also stood up and looked at Song Che with sharp eyes: "Then what if I don't let you?"
He just finished speaking.
"Report!"
Hu Zu, hurry up and report:
"Sir, from the southwest corner of Shizui City, a group of Liang cavalry suddenly appeared, numbering...as many as one hundred thousand!"
"One hundred thousand!" Arhan glared at Song Che: "Where did the army of one hundred thousand come from!"
Song Che smiled coldly: "I forgot to tell you that it was my 'jungle' and 'top laner' who caught you in the middle."
I should have known they would cheat. Anyone would cheat, including Song Che. Even if Arhan could take out the egg, a hundred thousand troops would still come to the city.
"Two days, two days, two days, Mr. Arhan, hurry up and take care of yourself."
Song Che flicked his sleeves and left the shed with Jiang Yuntian.
