Hucha Dongchan snorted coldly and said nothing in anger, causing the generals in the tent to burst into laughter.

"Yes, when the two armies are fighting, in addition to protecting the country, could it be that they are seeking fame and profit, and profit comes first. Who would think that the treasure is too heavy? General Hucha has been to Shuoxi. Shuoxi City is known as the world's joint discussion, and there is no shortage of it. It’s just money, how could Huimeng and Fire Worshipers let this piece of fat go in vain?”

Helian Chengxian realized, "That's it." After saying this, he smiled awkwardly and remained silent.

Li Luowei was a little dejected and replied calmly: "I made it clear to Hui Meng worshiping fire that if he attacks Shuoxi first, he will be allowed to plunder Shuoxi city for three days."

"Follow the order," the generals responded.

After the discussion, Yun Wuyan left his tent to arrange for the message to be sent. The generals were in great spirits and prepared their troops and horses in preparation for another battle.

Di Jie happily expressed his condolences: "Xuan Lou, you are rare among the French army in leading an army. You can work together as a team. I am worried that you are young and willful."

Li Luo smiled modestly and said: "Uncle, you are exaggerating. This is what Mr. Shen pointed out to Xuanlou. When the manpower is exhausted, it is just a fool's dream to try to cover everything as a general."

Di Jie snorted, looked at Shen Xiangdong, and praised: "Mr. Shen is so talented that few people in the world can match him. With your help in Xuanlou, I feel relieved."

Shen Xiangdong laughed it off and said, "Shuai Di, today's plan is all in General Li's mind."

Di Jie glanced at Li Luo in surprise, shook his head and sighed: "I will always be defeated if I refuse to accept it. From now on, the world will look at you."

The three of them looked at each other and laughed heartily.

As expected, as Li Luo expected, within three days, a royal decree came from Zhuocheng, saying that if Xirong surrendered, he would be allowed to become a minister. Li Luo looked at it, put it aside, and ordered Chi Li to report back to Zhuocheng and receive the decree.

The next day, the army scouted the horse to report, and saw that the envoy from Xirong had submitted a petition to enter the camp to meet Li Luo. Li Luo secretly ordered Hu Chajing to lead his army out and bring a group of Xirong people into the camp to guard it. When I got up, I saw Huchajing leading his troops in and out of Yingchou Gorge, but I didn't know what was going on.

The envoy from Xirong was Qiang Mo, an acquaintance of Li Luo.

After entering the tent, Qiang Mo was the first to kneel on the ground and shouted: "Xirong envoy Qiang Mo has met General Li and General Di."

"Oh, it's Mr. Qiang. You and I are old friends. We have met several times in Zhuocheng. No need to be polite. Get up and talk. Come and show Mr. Qiang his seat."

Qiang Mo repeatedly thanked him, stood up and sat down, and greeted all the generals in the tent one by one, showing great humility.

Upon seeing this, Huchajing said: "Hey, it turns out to be Master Qiang. By the way, where is Master Qiang's manor in Dizhou now? Aren't you going to take us to your manor to taste the good wine you brewed?"

Qiang Mo rubbed his hands uneasily and said, "Is this General Hucha? Please don't blame Qiang for not knowing Taishan that day, speaking without reason, and offending the general."

Huchajing snorted coldly and said: "Knowing that I am Huchajing, it seems that Lord Qiang has been prepared."

"General Hucha's name is famous all over the world. Even if Qiang is blind, he still knows the general's reputation."

Li Luo interrupted and said: "Master Qiang, now you and I are at war. I don't know what you have done with Master Qiang. If you have nothing to do, please leave the camp. Otherwise, if the news spreads, others will think that I, Li Luo, am suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason." ."

Qiang Mo said hurriedly: "General, please calm down. Qiang came here this time just to negotiate peace with your army at the request of our king, Xirong."

"Meeting for peace?" Li Luo smiled softly and said, "How to negotiate for peace?"

Qiang Mo took out a scroll of brocade silk from his arms, unfolded it, and began to read, but it was an exhortation. First, he praised the country's customs in Dagan, and how Shuo Xi admired it both inside and outside, and then continued with a series of comments, to the effect that he was referring to the small border country of Xirong, which offended the heavens.

Yan, not knowing the importance of the matter, specially apologized to the Dagan court and wanted to admire the grace of the country. He was willing to serve as the vassal state of Dagan and pay tribute every year. Before Qiang Mo could finish reading, Di Jie slammed the table and shouted: "

We rough people can't understand your official language. Please explain it more clearly. What do you Xirong want?"

Qiang Mo was startled, stopped abruptly, cleared his throat slightly, and said: "General Di, Xirong has offended your country, my lord asked this villain to apologize on his behalf. From now on, Xirong is willing to become a vassal to Da Gan, and I specially order this villain to lead him."

Come as a tribute. From now on, I will offer beautiful women as tribute to Dagan every year. If I, the king of Xirong, see His Majesty Dagan, I will give you the gift of a son-nephew." After saying this, he took out another brocade silk from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Li Luo signaled slightly, Ni Qing took it from Qiang Mo and handed it to Li Luo. Li Luo glanced at it and handed it to Di Jie. Di Jie opened it and read: "One million taels of silver, one hundred thousand taels of gold, each

Fifty boxes of ivory-like jewelry, ten boxes of tributes from the Western Regions, ten boxes of longevity-prolonging medicinal materials, and a hundred maids, hum, what a big deal, it seems that Shuoxi can really be called the richest in the world." Di Jie finished reading,

All the generals in the tent took a deep breath. Such a large number is indeed rare.

Qiang Mo bowed and said humbly: "General Di is joking, Xirong is not a foreign country, how can it be compared with Dagan? With this little wealth, all the money has been emptied by Shuoxi, but here with General Di,

It’s a bit trivial.”

Di Jie threw down the gift list, snorted coldly, and said nothing.

Li Luo said calmly: "Master Qiang, the wealth on this gift list is already very rich, but I wonder if the monarch of your country has any other words?"

Qiang Mo bowed again and humbly replied: "General, my lord has no other request. I only ask the general to tell the world that I, Xirong, would like to be a vassal state of Dagan. From now on, I, Xirong, will send tribute to Dagan every year.

Show sincerity.”

"Oh, I understand, but," Li Luo paused for a moment, then continued: "It is not convenient for Li Luo to make the decision on such a big matter, and he has to report back to the court. If the Holy One agrees, we will naturally turn our war with Xirong into friendship and have a hundred-year relationship.

good."

Qiang Mo was stunned and said: "This... General, do you still want to report to your country?"

Li Luo said in surprise: "Of course it should be like this. Does Lord Qiang already know that the Dagan court knows about this?"

Qiang Mo was speechless and said for a while: "Before I left the city, my lord indeed sent someone to convey the intention of surrender to your country. If there is no mistake, the general should have received a reply."

"I see, but Shuoxi and Zhuocheng are thousands of miles apart, so there won't be any mistakes on the way. I have to talk to the ministers, what do you think?" Li Luo asked.

Qiang Mo had no choice but to say: "That's what we should do, that's what we should do." After saying that, he looked at Li Luo with hope and said anxiously: "General, I'm coming here this time because the road is not smooth, so I don't dare to show off.

, I only brought 30% of the tribute to show my sincerity, and the remaining villains will send a message back to Shuo Xi to ask them to prepare it as soon as possible."
