Pushing Wu Tu away fiercely, the Nanman King was still angry: "The Qin army is really hateful! I have surrendered Jiaoyang, but they are still aggressive and want to block my way back home!"
In his mind, entering the Central Plains this time was a great opportunity. Taking advantage of the dispute between Qin and Chu, he fished in troubled waters, occupied some cities, arrested young girls, plundered a large amount of gold and silver supplies, and returned home with a full load.
Unexpectedly, King Qin made a strategic decision to defeat the Southern Barbarians first and then destroy the Chu Kingdom.
This decision directly stopped the Southern Barbarian army in Jiaoyang, preventing foreign invasion and turmoil from raging in the Central Plains.
At present, the Southern Barbarians are trapped in the wilderness, with the main roads in front and behind blocked, and suffered heavy losses when they broke out. If they want to get back alive, they may have to sue for peace.
Thinking of this, the Nanman King had no choice but to glare at Wu Tu and said coldly: "You, go talk to Qin Jun!"
"Huh? This..."
Wu Tu wanted to say something else, but the Southern Barbarian King interrupted him and said: "Tell them that we are willing to return all the captured girls and gold and silver, and we just want to return to the country safely!"
"Yes, yes..." Wu Tu swallowed. Although he was very scared, he had no choice but to accept the order.
After understanding the current situation, the Barbarian King did not dare to make any more breakthroughs and sent Wu Tu, a civil servant, to find the Qin army's temporary camp the next morning.
He came under a white flag, and along the way, he revealed his identity as the envoy, so his life was not threatened.
In the military tent, the soldiers came to report. Hearing the news, Yan Qi frowned slightly: "The barbarian army is sending envoys at this time, and they must be here to seek peace, but I don't know what to say."
Upon hearing this, a general said immediately: "The enemy is in a desperate situation and can hardly fly. As a general, we can't see how to use it."
"Yes, the Southern Barbarians are a foreign enemy. They are ultimately a serious nuisance. They are about to be wiped out now. No matter what the noise is." Someone else agreed.
However, Professor Tian stood up and said: "Whether you see it or not, it has no impact on the overall situation, but I believe that given the current situation of the southern barbarians, if they want to send envoys to sue for peace, they must have a certain bargaining chip. This bargaining chip , it can only be the arrested people of Jiaoyang and the large amount of gold and silver materials looted."
When Yan Qi heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, let's meet him and listen to what he has to say."
As he spoke, he also waved his hand to the waiting soldiers.
"No!" The latter took the order and left, and after a while, Wu Tu was brought into the military tent.
As soon as he came in, Wu Tu's face was filled with a fake smile. He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his hands, gave a deep salute, and said cheerfully: "I have met General Yan Qi."
As a Nanman diplomatic official, he naturally understands the etiquette of the Central Plains.
Yan Qi waved his hand and said in a calm voice: "Messengers don't need to be polite. If you have any questions, just tell them directly."
"Haha, that's it." Wu Tu smiled again and said: "We and your army have no enmity in the first place. The reason for the dispute is completely a misunderstanding. Our king believes that if we continue to fight like this If we continue, both sides will suffer losses, so it would be better to stop fighting and make peace, which would be beneficial to everyone."
"Yanhe?" Although he guessed the other party's purpose, when he heard this, Yan Qi still sneered and said unceremoniously: "Any foreign army that enters the Central Plains without permission will be regarded as a provocation to war! We, the Qin army, are also the Chinese army! You foreign invaders! Do you say there is no injustice or enmity?"
"This, the general said something serious." Wu Tu said kindly: "We entered the Central Plains not with our original intention. We were completely invited by the King of Chu..."
"That's King Chu's problem! There's no need to talk about it here! Besides, King Chu can't represent the entire Central Plains!" Yan Qi interrupted him directly: "I only know that you invaded Jiaoyang and slaughtered me thousands of times. Thousands of compatriots, arresting an innocent girl is a heinous crime!"
"But Jiaoyang is actually the land of Chu, not Qin. We have no intention of going against the King of Qin." Wu Tu tried to argue.
"It is the duty of every soldier to defend the nation's homeland! Our army has no tolerance for foreign invaders like you!" Yan Qi said sternly.
"Then, how can the general be willing to make peace?" Wu Tu was a little anxious.
But Yan Qi asked back: "Now that the thieves and bandits are waiting to be killed, why do they want to make peace?"
"The general's words are wrong. If we continue to fight, we will only lose both sides and it will be of no benefit to anyone..."
"Hmph! If you bandits are capable of fighting, why would the Southern Barbarian King send you here?" Yan Qi sneered: "From my point of view, you might as well just surrender. Even if you struggle to the death, there is no way out!"
"This, this, general, I came here with sincerity, why should your army be so aggressive?" Wu Tu's forehead was already sweating, and while speaking, he couldn't help but lift his sleeves to wipe it.
"Sincerity? Where is the sincerity?" Yan Qi asked again.
"We, we are willing to send back all the captured girls..." Wu Tu said tentatively.
Hearing this, Yan Qi couldn't help but look at Tian Shou. Sure enough, this was the only bargaining chip the Barbarian Army had. He frowned at first, and then asked: "How many people have you arrested!?"
"Six...more than six thousand." Wu Tu said bravely.
"What!?" Hearing this, Yan Qi's eyes widened and he felt a surge of anger going straight to his forehead.
A Qin general next to him became even more furious. He pulled out his sword fiercely and shouted loudly: "This is unreasonable!"
The sound of the sword being unsheathed startled Wu Tu. While screaming, he stepped back and hurriedly waved his hands: "Central Plains etiquette, when two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy, don't behead the envoy!"
Yan Qi raised his hand to stop the Qin general. The latter was still angry, so he reluctantly sheathed his sword and still glared at Wu Tu.
After narrowly rescuing his life, Wu Tu couldn't help but let out a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again and said: "General Yanqi, as long as you agree to open Nanping Pass, these more than 6,000 girls will Returning it unscathed will be of great benefit to both our army and you."
"Where are the grain and supplies you looted!?" Yan Qi asked again.
When Wu Tu originally wanted to negotiate, he suppressed it, but now, he still dared to say, "Send it back together, send it back together, it won't be less than a tael of silver."
More than 6,000 female compatriots, countless gold and silver supplies, this matter is not a big deal. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Yan Qi actually has the right to make this decision, but he does not dare.
After weighing the left and right, he could only say in a cold voice: "Get out of here first! I will give this matter some thought."
"Well, General, why should you hesitate on this matter..."
Wu Tu wanted to persuade him again, but Yan Qi's expression turned cold: "Get out! I don't even bother to kill you!"
"This, yes, yes, I am resigning..."
The former Qin general drew his sword and scared Wu Tu half to death. Hearing this, he did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly saluted and left.
After he left, General Yipian couldn't help but clasp his fists and said: "General!"
Yan Qi understood what he meant, waved his hand to interrupt, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance, I need to send a message to the king."
