Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 233 Celebration Banquet

Seeing Queen Mobei walking straight towards her, Zhao Tai stared at her with wary eyes. Gu Chen, Gu Tianming and others were also looking at Queen Mobei at this moment, guessing the purpose of her coming.

Not long after, the queen rode up to Zhao Tai and others. She glanced at the Zhou army behind her, then looked at Zhao Tai in the middle, and said: "I am not here to start a war, but to fight. Negotiating peace with Dazhou. So... I hope to talk to the commander-in-chief of Dazhou now!"

Before Zhao Tai could speak, Gu Yongyi retorted with a look of disdain: "What nonsense, Mobei has harassed our border with the Zhou Dynasty in recent years and killed countless people of the Zhou Dynasty. And those soldiers of the Northern Expedition, if you hadn't invaded other countries, How could they die in this foreign land!"

"I want to ask for mercy now, but it's too late!"

If Mobei hadn't started trouble on his own, how could Dazhou have waged a war and marched north to attack Mobei? The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not die in this desolate plain without anyone's worship.

Now that she knows she can't defeat Da Zhou, she just wants to make peace. It's not as simple as she thought.

The queen glanced at Gu Yongyi, but there was no expression change on her face. Then she withdrew her gaze and replied extremely calmly: "Although we in Mobei suffered a defeat and lost many soldiers, we still have 300,000 soldiers and horses in the army that can be deployed."

"If you really want to kill them all, my Mobei soldiers will naturally not resign themselves to fate. We can be defeated, but it will also make Da Zhou bite off a piece of flesh."

Gu Chen looked at Queen Mobei and asked coldly: "Are you trying to threaten us? Or do you think Da Zhou dare not fight!"

The queen said: "My words do not mean any threat. Mobei just wants a chance to survive. But if Zhou is unwilling to give it, Mobei will have no choice but to fight to the death. Our demands are actually very important. Simple, everything is just to live."

Gu Chen didn't answer her question.

Judging from the words and deeds of the Queen of Mobei, most of what the other party said should be true.

If Da Zhou continues to attack, Mobei knows that he is in danger of annihilation and will fight to the end with Da Zhou no matter what.

Of course, from the moment Zhou prepared to attack Mobei, they already had the worst plan in mind.

But they didn't expect that Mobei would want to negotiate peace and let their race continue to live outside the northern border.

If they negotiate a peace, they can indeed avoid some unnecessary losses, but the problem is that they cannot guarantee whether Mobei will make a comeback in the future.

At this time, Zhao Tai interrupted and said: "Mobei has no credibility in the eyes of Da Zhou, and your words cannot convince me."

The queen said: "If we negotiate peace, Mobei is willing to compensate Dazhou, and will pay more tribute to Dazhou every year, with Dazhou as the leader. From now on, Mobei will withdraw fifty miles away from the northern border. If there is no Tongwen If you get involved privately, Da Zhou can directly kill him. Every legitimate son born to the Mobei King will be handed over to Da Zhou as a hostage. If Mo Bei makes a slight move, Da Zhou can also kill the proton directly!"

After hearing the other party's guarantee, even Zhao Tai glanced at the Mobei Queen.

Being able to face danger without fear and keeping a clear mind at all times in the face of national disasters is a character and courage that no ordinary woman can match.

Moreover, the conditions proposed by the other party have indeed shaken his original plan.

After some thought, Zhao Tai looked at the other party and said, "I have to report this to Your Majesty before I can answer you. But if you really want to make peace, then you and the seventh prince Helianyao will come back to the camp with me!"

The queen frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Okay, I and the seventh prince will go back with you."

Then the queen turned and left on her horse.

After returning, he made good arrangements with the soldiers, and then brought Helianyao to the Zhou army again.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Tai did not send troops to Mobei again. Instead, he escorted the queen and Helianyao back to the camp, and then sent a message to Emperor Wu about the current situation in Mobei.

Five days later, Emperor Wu's oral order came.

The general meaning is that Emperor Wu agreed to Mobei's proposal, and then asked the other party to compensate the other party for five thousand cattle and sheep, two thousand horses, one million taels of gold, and fifty million taels of silver, and to increase the annual tribute to the Zhou Dynasty by 20%, and Some other requirements.

Queen Mobei had no objections to Emperor Wu's request and readily agreed. Then after the two signed the relevant border agreement, Zhao Taicai released the person back.

That night, all the military camps built by Dazhou outside the country were dismantled, and everyone returned to Beihuang City in the north. A celebration banquet was held in the city, and the scene was very lively.

Jiang Anran is the leader of Gunpowder Battalion and was also at the celebration banquet.

Looking at the festive scenes around her, she couldn't help but pick up the fruit wine. Then she looked at the soldiers who had worked with her and said loudly: "Come on, brothers, this time Dazhou has won a great victory. I'll give you a toast." , be sure to have a good time drinking tonight!"

A soldier immediately smiled and complimented: "Haha, Mr. Jiang, if you hadn't developed explosive packs and mines this time, we might not have been able to defeat Mobei so easily. I give you this drink!"

"That's right, Mr. Jiang, I'll toast you too."

"A toast to Master Jiang!"

With the first one taking the lead, the rest of the gunpowder battalion soldiers immediately stood up and toasted to Jiang Anran.

Seeing the flattery of the soldiers, Jiang Anran had an aunt's smile on her face, but she was modest and polite, "Hey, I'm not as powerful as you say. It's the soldiers of Great Zhou who can defeat Mobei this time. Thanks for the credit, the gunpowder I invented only served as a boost."

"Hiccup~"

After saying that, Jiang Anran didn't forget to burp, obviously he drank too much.

Immediately, she took another sip of fruit wine and subconsciously glanced at the celebration banquet, carefully looking for someone.

"Where's this guy, King Gu Zhuang? Why don't you see him?! He's not going out drinking alone again!"

At the same time, in a room outside the celebration banquet, Gu Chen was sitting on a bench, with a middle-aged man standing cautiously next to him.

"Your Highness, my father asked me to go back this time, I..."

The middle-aged man looked down at Gu Chen and hesitated to speak.

The man was none other than Nangong Qian.

Gu Chen put the tea cup in his hand on the table and replied calmly: "Since he asked you to go back, just go back."

During this period of time together, Gu Tianming seemed to be quite honest in the North and did not behave in any other way.

Since that old guy Nangong Jue asked him to go back, Gu Chen had no reason to stop him. Moreover, if he stayed in the north, he would not be able to convey any useful information to himself. Returning to Kyoto would not be a bad thing for Gu Chen.

Seeing that Gu Chen had no objection, Nangong Qian's face lit up, "Okay, I'll pack my luggage and leave early in the next few days."
