That night, King Chen Mu of Shu racked his brains, not knowing how to make a choice. To be honest, even if the Prime Minister had done such a heinous thing, he had brought their Shu Kingdom into trouble.
But in the end, he assisted his father-in-law, and he offered his head to the Great Zhou so easily.
It would be hard for him to do that, as he was a merciful king, although sometimes he just couldn't think straight.
However, he would not be so cruel to his ministers, as he also had his own bottom line.
But now I have to make a choice. Who to choose is indeed a difficult problem...
"Your Majesty, I just had my men investigate. I never expected that Prime Minister Zhang would secretly meet with spies from the Miao Kingdom!"
"Although I don't know what they said, it should be something shameful. And Your Majesty, think carefully. In the court, the Prime Minister has always said that he wants to unite with the Miao Kingdom."
"To do so is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. Your Majesty also knows that this is a very bad alliance and absolutely cannot be agreed to."
"Most of the ministers in the court also think this is absurd. If we join forces with the Miao army to fight against the Great Zhou army, we will be the ones who will suffer the consequences."
"Compared to the Miao Kingdom, we should trust the Great Zhou more! They are still willing to negotiate with us, but the Miao Kingdom has not negotiated with us at all."
"Then who should we follow? It's obvious, not to mention that even if we can really reach cooperation with the Miao Kingdom.
The King of Nan'an will definitely attack us then, so it's better to finish them off in one go."
Chen Mu thought it made sense, but what he didn't expect was that the Prime Minister actually betrayed him and chose to ally with the Miao people to deal with their Shu Kingdom. This was simply terrible news.
At this moment, he finally let go of his sympathy. Since the minister was so unfair to him and tried his best to put himself in an embarrassing situation.
Then there's no need to keep him.
"Eunuch, you are a great master. I think it would be best if you leave the palace and bring me the Prime Minister's head. This way, I can use it as a bargaining chip for peace talks. As for the city they want, I have given it some thought."
"No problem. If this matter drags on, the Miao army will definitely become even more eager to attack us. What I fear most now is that the Miao army will become more and more powerful. I'm afraid it will really be a bit dangerous."
"good."
“…”
Just when they were in Fengcheng waiting for news from the court, the Miao army suddenly launched an attack on them.
But they were just minor fights and they only defended themselves lightly.
But it must be said that the crisis still exists, and they must try their best to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
Now in the military camp, Lu Yun has been supervising and asking the craftsmen to try their best to make some gunpowder. The power of their gunpowder is indeed not great.
Lu Yun thought that he could play a key role on the battlefield, but he didn't expect that it was just a small fight. It didn't cause fatal damage to the enemy, but only injured them. But no matter what, it was still of some use.
There's no other way. I really don't understand the equipment, so I have to do this.
In this way, they waited for two days, and suddenly the envoys from Shu Kingdom came to the city, and they sat down at the negotiation table again.
Lu Yun never expected that they would actually agree to this.
"Eunuch Lu, His Majesty has asked us to bring you a message to the Emperor of Great Zhou. They have no intention of backstabbing us, they were just blinded for a moment. I hope you and the Emperor will not take it to heart."
"Now that Your Majesty has realized his mistake and knows that he was wrong in this matter, I hope that your country can show mercy and let our Shu Kingdom go. After all, we still need to work together to attack the Miao Kingdom."
"And after His Majesty understood the situation, he directly presented the head of our Prime Minister, the mastermind behind this incident, to Eunuch Lu, hoping that Eunuch Lu would calm down."
Lu Yun took a closer look at this time, and it was indeed the head of the man surnamed Zhang. This guy was finally dead. He disliked this guy when he was in Shu last time.
Well, he deserves it. He did so many bad things before. This guy is scheming.
Although he has a smart mind, he is not good at shocking people, and is particularly familiar with conspiracies and tricks.
To make such a judgment at this time can only mean that one is not smart enough. Any smart person can see that the military forces of Shu Kingdom and Zhou Kingdom are completely incomparable.
In fact, Lu Yun also carefully analyzed the situation on the battlefield. This decision made by Prime Minister Zhang was actually very beneficial to them, and it was a good opportunity.
But if they analyze it carefully and add the strength of the Shu army into this scenario, they will conclude that it simply won't work.
If the Shu army and the Zhou army can be evenly matched, there is still a slight chance.
"I didn't expect your country to be so sincere and actually agreed to my request. Then I will naturally accept it, and I hope you can keep your promise."
"It seems we can still join forces to attack the Miao Kingdom. At the same time, your Shu Kingdom's army can be returned to you, and your general can also be given to you."
"But I want to remind you again that such a thing must not happen again, otherwise I will definitely not forgive you."
Listening to his words, the envoys all nodded slightly.
They naturally knew how powerful Lu Yun was! They had to admire the talent of this Lu who could do this.
"Alright! Everyone is happy."
Lu Yun directly brought up the captured General Zhou.
Zhou Chen was also very ashamed. He had been thinking about the next template these days. He was even so ashamed that he wanted to get rid of himself.
This battle certainly dealt a heavy blow to the Shu Kingdom and put it in a very passive situation.
Your Majesty must be very disappointed with him.
"General Zhou, please manage your Shu army well. They are now in the military camp, separated as before. You can return to your Shu military camp.
But this general warns you again: do not try to cross the river again."
"If something like this happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless and killing you directly."
"Yes, thank you, Eunuch Lu."
"No, thank your monarch if you want to thank him. After all, you have paid a heavy price.
What you have done is a great disgrace, betraying your own allies."
"I guess the people of your Shu Kingdom wouldn't agree with it either."
