The wind on the Baqiao was too cold, it scraped on the skin like a knife, and it hurt a little bit.
When Fu Jian handed over 20,000 soldiers and horses to Xuancheng, Xuancheng actually had a feeling of retreating in his heart. This was the first time he consciously led troops to fight. Although it was not a real war, he couldn't handle it well. No matter how difficult it is for Wugong to eradicate Nangong's rebellion, Daqin will find it difficult to be at peace.
"Emperor brother, I'll wait for you to come back." Standing against the wind, the wind blows, the clothes move, move, their hearts are like still water.
Xuancheng smiled thoughtfully, "What if you don't come back?"
Fu Jian looked at him firmly, pondered for a while, and said, "You will come back."
"With 20,000 troops, Brother Huang thinks I can defeat Duke Runan?"
"You don't have to defeat him, you just need to kill him alone."
"Brother Huang is too confident."
"I believe in you."
Xuancheng looked at the endless loess in front of him with indifferent eyes, "Maybe, you shouldn't trust me like that."
Fu Jian, if you believe me, you should listen to me.
Fu Jian's heart was too big for the entire Northern Kingdom to hold.
Murong Chong's heart is too cruel, even the whole Daqin, he has no mercy.
"Don't worry, Brother Huang, I'll be back." Xuan Cheng got on his horse, with a heroic appearance, and made a promise.
Fu Jian held his hand, looked up at his face, "No matter who you are, remember to go back to Chang'an."
Xuancheng felt sad.
The thousand-year-old stranger, the far-off Northland, Fu Jian, he is his elder brother.
There was a sound of horseshoes, and the figures gradually drifted away. Fu Jian watched them leave Chang'an City, his eyes finally turned a little red.
"Your Majesty, go back to the palace, the prime minister is still waiting to discuss with you the signing of the contract with the Jin Dynasty."
Fu Jian remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.
"His Majesty."
"Let's go." Fu Jian came back to his senses and said lightly.
Xuancheng will not not come back, this is Fu Jian's promise to him, so he will only win when it comes to Duke Runan.
Shi Xichao, the chief of staff left by Huanwen sent by the Jin Dynasty, came to Chang'an.
While Huan Wen was in power, Xie An still lived in seclusion in Dongshan.
But Fu Jian still did not forget to show concern for his old friend, he asked Xi Chao with a smile, "I haven't seen you in half a year, how is An Shi?"
Xi Chao was startled, and Fu Fenxia's fair and rosy complexion instantly became unwell, a little embarrassed, "Why didn't your majesty ask the prime minister, but instead cared about Xie An?"
Fu Jian still smiled candidly, "Don't worry, it's time for me to greet your prime minister, how is it, how is Yuan Zi?"
Perhaps the only person who dared to laugh at the political affairs of the two countries was Fu Jian.
Xi Chao smiled awkwardly, lowered his head and coughed twice, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is very well."
Wang Meng lowered his head and smiled.
Only then did Fu Jian enter the theme, "I want to make a good relationship with Jin and Jin, and cease fighting forever. The two sides will not fight each other. What does Jing Xing think?"
Xi Chao said, "The prime minister's mind coincides with that of your majesty. The marriage between Jin and Qin is a long-term benefit to the people of both sides, but there are a few points that the prime minister must explain clearly to your majesty."
Fu Jian smiled and said, "It's okay to be straightforward."
Xi Chao said, "Previously, the Prime Minister sent troops to the north three times and returned without success. The Qin State was unscathed. However, there were complaints in the Jin Dynasty, which cost hundreds of thousands of troops, horses and food. The Prime Minister hoped that His Majesty would compensate. After the signing of the contract with Jin, His Majesty must agree that the Prime Minister cannot support Xie An's restoration within ten years. As long as His Majesty can agree to these two points, our two countries can sign a friendship and the people of the two countries will enjoy eternal peace."
Wang Meng raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Your prime minister has a really big appetite."
Xi Chao smiled slightly, "The prime minister has the world in his belly, and what you said, Prime Minister Wang, is right."
Fu Jian was silent.
Wang Meng said, "If my Great Qin goes south without success and returns, will your prime minister compensate us for the loss of food, grass, soldiers and horses? This is unreasonable. Your Majesty, with the current state of our Great Qin, I think that we can equalize without signing a contract with Jin." chaos, and there is no need to lose hundreds of thousands of silver taels for this ridiculous agreement."
"Your Majesty, although Prime Minister Wang's words are reasonable, the decision is in your hands. Whether one hundred thousand taels of silver is more important than the stability of the country is more important. After our prime minister has said it, you can definitely tell."
Fu Jian said with a half-smile, "Can Yuanzi also guess what I'm thinking?"
"The prime minister has the same ambitions as you, and the prime minister said that you will understand him."
"Since when did Zhen and Yuanzi have the same interests? Wouldn't Anshi want to scold me to death?"
Xi Chao said, "Your Majesty, your acquaintance with Xie An does not affect the friendship between you and the prime minister. Compared with personal self-interest, national interests are always infinite. Xie An's ambition is in the mountains and rivers, but your majesty, your ambition is in Jiuzhou. This is not the same as our prime minister. The ambitions of the mountains and rivers coincide with each other, the ambition of Shanshui is to seek personal gain, and the ambition of Jiuzhou is to serve the world."
