Chapter 852 Exchange Conditions
In this era, the white flag was not meant to surrender, but to negotiate peace. The other party sent such a small boat to come, and the intention was very obvious, that was, to talk to the Bingzhou army.
The customary etiquette between two countries and the two countries is not killed. This kind of convention seems to be a war culture. Although some people do not follow this regulation, most people still agree with this rule.
So as soon as he saw the other party showing off the white flag, the Bingzhou army took the initiative to put away the bow and arrow, set the boat to dock, and immediately sent someone to inform Cao Liang.
Cao Liang did not expect that Sima Zhao would send someone to negotiate. In fact, the two sides had long been as harsh as the enemy was incompatible. Even if they fought, it would be a life-and-death battle. In this case, is there still a need for negotiation between the two sides?
Cao Liang was deeply suspicious of this and ordered the person to be brought up. He wanted to see what Sima Zhao sold in the gourd?
The envoy sent by Sima Zhao was a young scholar with white face and short beard. Although he looked weak, he was not frightened when facing the Bingzhou Army's guns and sword formation and calmly walked into the central army's tent. When he saw Cao Liang, he did not bow down, but just bowed, which was considered a greeting.
Qian Hong was furious and scolded: "Who is the crazy man, in front of my grand governor, dare you be so rude? Believe it or not, you will kill your dog's head at this moment!"
The envoy stood up with his head held high and said with neither humility nor arrogant words: "I am a special envoy of the court, but I am just a rebellion of the court. Why do you need a great worship?"
Qian Hong pierced his sword in anger and shouted, "Who do you think is rebellious?"
Cao Liang was unmoved, waved his hand to signal Qian Hong to retreat, and said lightly: "What is the purpose of fighting between the two armies and exerting some verbal benefits? Judging from your appearance, it is somewhat similar to Xun Jingqian, but Xun's nephew?"
The messenger said proudly: "Yes, Jing Qian is my uncle, and Xun Kai is my wife, and she is my wife."
Cao Liang smiled slightly, no wonder this person was so arrogant. It turned out that he was born in the Xun family. The Xun family in Yingchuan was a wealthy family in the Central Plains during the Eastern Han Dynasty. The eight dragons of the Xun family were famous all over the world. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Xun Yu of the Xun family and Xun You defected to Cao Cao and bet on Cao Cao. The success of this gamble made the Xun family even more prosperous and became the most prominent existence among the wealthy families of the Cao Wei family.
Now that Xun Yan has joined the Sima family, the status of the Xun family has increased. Although Xun Kai is just a fifth-rank Sanqigong Shigong, with this big tree of the Xun family, his climbing speed is definitely something you can't imagine.
Now Xun Kai, as Sima Zhao's special envoy, went to the Bingzhou Army camp, which proves that Sima Zhao relied heavily on him. If he could do this job well, then he would naturally be no problem to make a fortune in the future.
"Sima Zhao sent you here, what do you mean?" Cao Liang was so worried about the Xun family. In fact, Cao Liang was not interested in the family of scholars in the world. The so-called aristocratic families are just cancers of the world, let alone Xun Kai, Cao Liang was more concerned about the master behind him.
"The second young master knew that his wife Wang was in the General of the Fuguo State, and was really taken care of by the General of the Fuguo State. He was not very grateful. This time, he wanted to ask the General of the Fuguo State to be able to return Mrs. Wang, and the second young master would thank him with great gifts." Cao Liang's previous position as General of the Fuguo State in the court, and it was not revoked, so Xun Kai called Cao Liang the General of the Fuguo State. As for the title of Grand Commander-in-Chief, it was Cao Liang's self-proclaimed, and naturally no one in the Sima State would recognize him.
Cao Liang smiled and said, "A gentleman has the beauty of becoming an adult. The second son of Sima has been separated for a long time, and it is indeed unkind. Since the second son wants to take Mrs. Wang back, there is no need to go around. To be honest, what price are you going to pay? As long as you can satisfy me, it is naturally no problem to reunite them."
When Xun Kai came here, he had the intention of inquiring about Wang Yuanji's whereabouts. However, he did not ask directly, but directly proposed to redeem the person. Cao Liang agreed immediately, which proved that Wang Yuanji was safe and his life was safe. Xun Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Wang Yuanji was still alive, Sima Zhao had already explained before leaving. No matter how harsh Cao Liang's conditions were, Xun Kai could make the decision to agree as long as he was within his acceptance range.
Xun Kai said: "What are the conditions for the general of the auxiliary country? Just say it directly. Our two young masters have something to say. As long as it is within his ability, everything can be negotiated."
Cao Liang sneered secretly, and he was so loud. He smiled faintly and said, "It is said that beauty is beautiful, and Mrs. Wang is so beautiful. No matter how beautiful it is, it is worth a city. Go back and tell Sima Zhao that it is not difficult for him to take Wang Yuanji back, and it is for Luoyang to exchange it."
Xun Kai's face suddenly changed, and his sweat was like a slurry. The previous cowhide was really blown away. Cao Liang actually offered such a sky-high price, which was obviously something Sima Zhao could not bear at all.
"This...this...is probably not possible." Xun Kai said aiyi.
Cao Liang turned his face dark and snorted coldly, "It seems that Wang Yuanji's position in Sima Zhao's heart is nothing more than that. Then go back and tell Sima Zhao that since he refuses to exchange Luoyang City, then we will fight to the death on the Yellow River. If he has the ability to win, not only can he get Wang Yuanji back, but the entire Bingzhou is his. If he loses, I will take Luoyang and there is no need for him to exchange!"
Xun Kai secretly complained in his heart. It seemed that he had messed up this errand. Cao Liang clearly didn't want to hand over Wang Yuanji. Next, I'm afraid he could only see the truth on the battlefield.
"I'm afraid the second young master will be unable to do this in exchange for Luoyang City. Can the general of the State of the State be compatible? If there are other conditions, the second young master can definitely agree."
Cao Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Other conditions are not unconsiderable. My father died in Beimang Mountain, and his remains are unknown. If you can find my father's remains, this matter may be discussed."
Cao Yan died in Beimang Mountain. The battle was extremely tragic at that time, and Cao Liang was unable to retrieve his father's body, which has always been a pity. Therefore, Cao Liang has always wanted to find his father's remains, but the two sides are now in a hostile relationship and it is difficult to find it back.
Now that Sima Zhao wants to change his wife, Cao Liang is surprised. This is the best opportunity to retrieve his father's remains.
As for Wang Yuanji, such a living beauty, in Cao Liang's mind, she is really no more important than a body of her father.
If Sima Zhao knew what Cao Liang was thinking at this moment, he would probably vomit blood. He regarded his wife as the pearl in his hand and could not compare to a corpse lying in a mass grave. It was really ridiculous.
