Chapter 426: Truce is Impossible



Chapter 426: Truce is Impossible

"Commander, be careful!" The soldiers were horrified when they saw the hidden arrow, but it was too late to stop it.

At the critical moment, Nangong Jingxuan dodged sideways and reached out to grab the tail of the arrow.

He looked at General Zhao with sharp eyes and shouted angrily, "You are a dishonest Beiyi. My Yuan Dynasty wanted to cease fire with you Beiyi, but you dared to attack me while signing the document. First, you slandered my people as spies, then forcibly detained them in Beiyi and tortured them into confessing. Now you dare to attack me and disrupt the morale of my army. This is simply unreasonable."

"Since you, the Northern Wing, do not want to cease fire and want to continue fighting, then I will accompany you to the end!"

General Zhao was completely confused. He had never done anything like sneak attack or hidden arrow attack, and it was not arranged by him.

He had no idea where the arrow came from.

Without waiting for General Zhao to react, the furious Nangong Jingxuan stabbed the arrow into General Zhao's neck in anger.

As General Zhao fell to the ground, the northern wing escort team was horrified. The Yuan army rushed out and surrounded them with anger on their faces.

"You despicable North Wing thieves dared to attack the coach, I will kill you all!"

"The North Wing thieves are dishonest and shameless. Kill them all!"

"kill!"

The two countries, which were originally planning to negotiate peace, once again engaged in a fierce battle.

No, to be precise, it was a one-sided crushing.

The northern wing escort team had few people and weak combat effectiveness. They were vulnerable in front of the Yuan army. In less than half a day, a large number of them were killed or wounded, and they knelt on the ground crying and begging for mercy.

At the same time, in Fuso, the Fuso escort team sent the people of the Yuan Dynasty to the city gate captured by the Yuan army.

"Your Excellency, General of the Yuan Dynasty, we have sent your people back. Please show mercy and spare our Fuso Nation."

There was a civil official among the northern wing's escort team, who was responsible for negotiating with the main general of the Yuan Dynasty.

"You can ask us to let you go, but that depends on your sincerity." Shangguan Peng stood on the city wall, looking down at the Fusang escort team: "How many people from our dynasty have died in your Fusang? You must hand over the people who killed them, and then pay 10,000 taels of gold for each life. If you can't do that, we will fight."

Everyone in Fuso looked grim when they heard this. Those dead Yuan Dynasty people were just ordinary civilians and were not worth ten thousand taels of silver at all. Shangguan Peng was simply asking for an exorbitant price.

But the current situation is that Fuso has suffered a defeat. If the war continues, not to mention the ten thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid the entire Fuso country will become part of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Okay, Fuso agrees to your country's conditions."

"This is not a condition of our dynasty, but compensation from you Fusang to our people who died in vain. You Fusang caused them to die in a foreign land. Let alone ten thousand taels of silver, even if it is ten million taels, you can give it. After all, human life is priceless. No matter the status of our people, their lives are priceless."

This sentence made the Fuso people look even uglier, but it made all the Yuan Dynasty soldiers excited.

That’s right, their lives are not cheap, their lives are priceless.

"In addition to compensating the dead, you must also compensate the Yuan Dynasty people you abused. You must pay for the humiliation they suffered and apologize!"

Shangguan Peng waved his hand and asked all the people of the Yuan Dynasty to stand up and register. Then, he asked them to stand in front of the Fuso people and let them bow their heads and apologize.

The people of Fuso felt humiliated and filled with anger.

But at this moment, Fuso was a defeated country and had no power to refuse. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only admit their mistakes.

"We were wrong!"

"Fuso is wrong!"

After saying this, he slapped himself ten times.

When the rescued Yuan Dynasty people saw the Fuso bandits admitting their mistakes in a humble manner, they felt relieved and their eyes became moist.

During those dark days, they thought they were dead and would never be able to return home.

They never dreamed that the imperial court would send troops to attack them. The first thing they would do after winning the battle was to ask Fuso to release them.

It was the state that ultimately rescued them.

Shangguan Peng ordered a team of people to send the newly rescued Yuan Dynasty people into the city for proper resettlement, and then find a suitable opportunity to send them home.

After doing all this, Shangguan Peng slowly said under the expectant gaze of the Fuso people: "I have seen the sincerity of Fuso, but it is getting late today and I have many things to do. This is not a good time for negotiation. You can come back tomorrow morning!"

After saying this, he no longer paid any attention to the Fuso people and went down the city wall.

Everyone in Fuso looked at each other in bewilderment; this was not what they had expected.

In the dark night, a dark shadow sneaked into the kitchen, poured some powder into the water tank, and smiled coldly and viciously while adding the medicine.

Suddenly, the candle in the kitchen was lit.

The person who drugged the patient was horrified and the moment he turned around, he saw a group of people standing at the door.

"How dare this idiot poison my Yuan Dynasty's kitchen? Arrest him!"

......

Before dawn, in the Fusang garrison, a deputy general ran into the main tent and said to the general in charge: "General Wang, Shangguan Peng is in trouble!"

"What happened to him?"

"He's been poisoned!"

General Wang was shocked when he heard this: "He was poisoned at this time, this..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a commotion outside and a young general ran in.

"General, it's bad, the Yuan army is coming!"

"What? Isn't it a ceasefire? Why did the Yuan Dynasty go back on its word?"

The young general said with sweat on his forehead, "The news from the front is that Wei Chi said that we Fusang are immoral and planted spies among the people of the Yuan Dynasty to infiltrate the army. They poisoned the kitchen and Shangguan Peng was poisoned and unconscious. Wei Chi wants to ask for an explanation."

"When did I poison him? I only arranged for two people to go in..." General Wang paused and his face turned ugly. "How dare those two people act on their own? Was Shangguan Peng really poisoned?"

The young general said: "I don't know, I just heard what the person in front of me said."

General Wang's face was gloomy. "If Shangguan Peng is really poisoned, then we will be in big trouble. Wei Chi will definitely not let us go. We only have so few people."

He quickly led his men forward, trying to stop Wei Chi, but Wei Chi was so bloodthirsty that he didn't listen to Fuso's explanation at all.

The war between Fuso and the Yuan Dynasty started again.

As blood spilled all over the ground, large snowflakes fell from the sky.

The third heavy snow swept across the battlefield.

"Commander, it's snowing!" On the battlefield littered with corpses, Mo Cong came to Nangong Jingxuan after killing the last North Wing soldier.

Nangong Jingxuan raised his eyes to look at the sky, but the snowflakes blocked his view, so he couldn't see what color the sky was. The whiteness in front of him was icy and cold, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Pass the order down, the entire army retreats back to the city!"

This snow came a little strangely, even stranger than the two heavy snowfalls a few days ago.
