Here Comes the Immortal Swordsman Chapter 882: Agreement
After leaving the Pope's tent, Xiao Yan did not return directly to the Pope's tent.
Instead, he came to an inconspicuous independent camp in the back camp, entered directly, came to the door of a large tent in the center of the camp, and knocked on the door to enter.
In the big tent, the aroma is curling up, and the smell of wine is tangy.
The ground is covered with precious and soft lichen, the curtains are low, and the four-legged table is filled with delicious food and wine. Compared with the military camp outside, it seems to be another world.
An old man who is more arrogant and debauched than Lin Beichen, with a handsome appearance and a trace of evil spirit, wearing a spacious pajamas, revealing his bronze-colored, strong and strong muscles, is playing boxing games with two beautiful women sitting beside him. It's an exhilaration.
If it's not Ling Taixu, the debauched fairy whom I haven't seen for a long time, who else is it?
"Old handsome..."
Xiao Yan saluted respectfully.
"Hey? Don't, don't."
Ling Taixu waved his hand and said: "Now you are the marshal, and besides, you are much older than me, and I am not old... how about it, what does my clever and lovely grandson-in-law say?"
Xiao Yan helped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said: "Sure enough, as the old man expected, Pope Lin spoke very well, and he seems determined to win."
"Hey, I already knew."
Ling Taixu patted the buttocks of the stunning woman beside him, the latter smiled coquettishly, got up with his companions, saluted Xiao Yan, then turned around and left the big tent.
"Pope Lin is a young man with great ambition and full of confidence."
Xiao Yan frowned, and said: "It's just that this battle is a gamble on the fate of the country, and it is far more important than the [Battle of Life and Death] in the capital last time. The Aurora Empire will definitely use all means. Wan, just in case."
Ling Taixu picked up the bronze wine bottle in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and said, "You don't believe the old man's judgment?"
"Don't dare."
Xiao Yan quickly apologized.
He worshiped Ling Taixu extremely, like a fanatic who believed in the main god.
Xiao Yan started from the beginning.
The person who promoted him back then was none other than Ling Taixu.
In that era, Ling Taixu's army was powerful and invincible, and Xiao Yan was just a lieutenant under his command.
For a long time, Xiao Yan has worshiped Ling Taixu as his idol. Even though Ling Taixu has faded out of the imperial army system and exiled himself in these years, many old people, including Xiao Yan, have not forgotten This old handsome man.
This time the battle for the restoration of the country, on the surface it was Xiao Yan who led the army, but in fact it was Ling Taixu who made the real strategic layout.
Xiao Yan didn't know how His Majesty the Emperor invited this military **** who had been exiled himself, but for him, it was undoubtedly the honor he dreamed of to be able to serve under the old commander again.
He didn't complain about being treated as a puppet at all, and he was always cooperating with Ling Taixu 100%.
So, in fact, since the Northern Expeditionary Army went to the battlefield, it was the former military **** of the North Sea Empire who was behind the scenes.
Including some unique traces and flaws revealed when setting up the camp this time, it was all done by Ling Taixu deliberately.
The purpose is simple.
It is to force the Aurora Empire to give up the military war and instead bet on the war between heaven and man.
Beihai Empire experienced a serious loss of national strength and population decline after the Weishi Rebellion, and it was difficult to sustain years of wars. In addition, the re-evaluation of the empire's rating assessment was imminent, and it was not suitable to maintain a long-term large-scale war at this time. Civil war.
So from the very beginning, Ling Taixu's ultimate way to win was the battle between heaven and man.
Using the arrogant soldier plan of Prince Yu, the commander of the Aurora Southward Legion, to regain the Fengming Province in a short period of time, took the initiative, and then deliberately exposed flaws, so that Prince Yu could realize that Ling Taixu had come out of the mountain and understand his arrogant soldier Instead, the strategy ruined the good game at the beginning, and had to turn to the battle between heaven and man.
So far, every step of this plan has been realized.
Although he hasn't come out of the mountain for nearly a hundred years, Ling Taixu is still the existence that made Xiao Yan and other old guys astonished by his grasp, capture and design of the battle situation and people's hearts.
"Since the old man is so confident, I will immediately order someone to return to Beijing to return to his command. Please His Majesty determine the specific conditions of the betting war..."
After the report, Xiao Yan got up to leave.
Ling Taixu thought of something, said: "Wait a minute, you have to remember one thing, in the bet, you have to put forward such a condition."
"What condition?"
Xiao Yan stopped and asked: "Old man, please tell me."
Ling Taixu said: "We want the Aurora Empire to hand over the commander who fought at Sunset Cliff that day, and erect a monument on Luoxing Cliff. The commander who commanded the invasion must wear hemp and mourning in front of the monument and kowtow to apologize. .”
"Ah this..."
Xiao Yan's heart was shocked, and he quickly reacted.
This is to put an end to Han Bu's personal enmity in the battle of national destiny.
The conditions are harsh.
I don't know if we can talk about it.
"I will do my best in the end."
Xiao Yan said: "But it's hard to say whether the Aurora people will agree."
After speaking, he saluted and turned to leave.
Ling Taixu chuckled, and said to himself: "Think I did this to vent my anger on that brat? If the Aurora people are smart, they'd better agree."
…
…
Time flies.
After five days of fierce debate on the exchange of envoys, the North Sea Empire and the Aurora Empire's natural life-and-death agreement officially confirmed all the bets.
If the Beihai Empire wins, the Yangchuan Province will be taken back, and the Luonan Province of the Aurora Empire will be permanently acquired as the tenth largest province of the empire.
If the Aurora Empire wins, it will gain the permanent jurisdiction of Yangchuan Province, and the Aurora Empire will no longer be able to send troops to attack.
In addition, the loser needs to pay tribute to the winner for three years. The tribute includes many conditions such as mysterious stones, gold and silver, ores, silk, weapons, beauties, medicinal materials, cheat books, and alchemy formulas.
This afternoon, the scorching sun is in full bloom.
The marshals and high-level priests of both sides signed and stamped the sacred contract protocol in front of the two armies, representing the will of the emperors and religious authorities of the two countries.
Once signed, there is no possibility of going back on
.
Xiao Yan and Prince Yu each held a copy, looked at each other, and backed away slowly.
"Why don't you see Ling Zhanshen?"
Prince Yu looked rather disappointed.
Xiao Yan brushed his beard and said lightly: "Maybe it's because you don't have the qualifications to confront the old man."
"Oh? Hahaha."
Prince Yu laughed out loud and did not refute.
He is a person of elegant demeanor, and in the Aurora Empire, he is known as a handsome man, and he disdains to engage in such verbal disputes.
The other side.
Pope Yu Zhuoyu of the Temple of Feathers looked at the boy from Beihai who was behind the big case and smiled wantonly and arrogantly.
Suddenly, this old man who has ruled the theocratic power of the Aurora Empire for a hundred years seems to be unable to adapt to it. The Temple of the Lord of Swords, which has been fighting against the Temple of Feathers for hundreds of years, is now ruled by this frivolous boy .
If it weren't for the fact that the information on the mythical record was gathered in front of his desk through the first intelligence agency of the imperial family of the Aurora Empire [Zhu Chan Pavilion] and the Qianji Office of the Temple of Feather, Yu Zhuoyu would never believe it , it will be cast by this young man who seems to have no poise and bearing except for his handsome appearance.
"It's only been more than a month, and Young Master Lin is already the Supreme Pope, which makes people feel emotional."
Prince Yu looked at Lin Beichen with a lot of emotion.
The first time he saw Lin Beichen was on the big river outside Yunmeng City, and he thought he was a noble boy whose family was ruined and had to take risks to find food.
From then to now, it is less than a year.
The youth in Yunmeng City is already a person who can affect the strength of the two countries.
If it weren't for this young man, the Aurora Empire wouldn't be forced to solve the current predicament in this way when Tianhu started.
"Sentimental?"
Lin Beichen smiled: "Don't worry, what really makes you feel emotional is still to come."
Prince Yu smiled slightly: "I know that Young Master Lin is very confident in his own strength, but the outcome of a decisive battle is not determined by confidence. How do you know what cards are hidden in our Aurora Empire?"
"No matter what hole cards you have, if you play one, I will destroy one. I'm afraid that in the end, you will be the one who will cry."
Lin Beichen doesn't care about authenticity.
Prince Yu said again: "Is that so? It's really a pity to say that the condition of erecting a monument for Han and asking the commander on the battlefield to wear hemp and mourning for him was not written into the contract in the end. Among them, Young Master Lin must be very disappointed."
"Not at all disappointed."
Lin Beichen glanced at the army of the Aurora Empire in the distance, and said: "I have withdrawn this condition."
"Huh?"
Prince Yu was startled.
Lin Beichen looked at him and said word by word: "Old Han's hatred, I will use another way to settle it."
If you just wear hemp and filial piety, it will be too cheap for you.
