I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 534 Peace talks (bottom middle)

"Master Min."

"Since Dafeng will be a vassal state of Daning in the future, there is no need to guard against it over there."

"After the covenant is concluded, I also hope that your country can withdraw all the guards on the border between the two countries."

"Of course, if your country is worried about bandits infesting bandits, our country can also send troops to help your country garrison the border towns, and we will never allow bandits to stir up trouble."

"This is also the responsibility of our country."

"."

There was silence in the Great Hall, only Sima Cong's voice echoed in it.

He spoke politely for a long time, but the meaning was very simple.

That is, Dafeng cannot fortify the border between the two countries, and even the Daning army must be stationed in the border town of Dafeng to help the latter "protect the people from bandits."

In fact, everything is normal here.

But Sima Cong's next words made Min Zhongguang's face change immediately.

"Oh, and."

"In order to prevent the two countries from resuming wars in the future, I also hope that your country's sage will issue an order to prohibit military personnel of third rank and above from serving in the army."

"In addition, in order to punish the ministers who harmed the two countries and the people of the two countries, I hope that your country can hand over all the third rank and above generals who have served in the army to our country."

"Our Ministry of Punishments will definitely punish these criminals according to the law, so as to comfort the spirits of the war dead."

"."

From then on, there can no longer be third-rank warriors in the Dafeng Army.

And now all the third rank generals in the Dafeng Army will be handed over to Daning.

According to Sima Cong, these people have committed "war crimes" and must be handed over to Daning to punish severely according to the law in order to comfort the soldiers and people who died in the war between the two countries.

But no one knows its real purpose, it is nothing more than wanting to take this opportunity to further weaken Dafeng's strength.

And there are only two endings for those generals on the third rank——

Either accept Daning's surrender.

or die.

When Sima Cong finished speaking, the Great Hall fell into a long silence.

This was the first time that Min Zhongguang did not immediately refute Daning's conditions.

It's not that he thinks this condition is completely acceptable.

On the contrary, this condition is too difficult to accept.

"Lord Sima, when it comes to this matter, you must be clear about whether our country is sincere."

"But what about you?"

"You want our army to hand over all the generals on the third rank to you?"

"Snapped!"

With a sudden slap on the table, Min Zhongguang stood up straight away, his eyes full of anger.

"Why?!"

"."

"Master Min, as I said just now, these people are the chief culprits who harmed the two countries and caused the war. Naturally, they should be punished as they should be."

Looking at the furious Min Zhongguang, Sima Cong calmly said: "And I was worried that your country might cover up such criminals on my pilgrimage, so I made this request."

"Of course, if your country can prove that you will never tolerate traitors, then this matter is not impossible to discuss."

"Sinful minister, appease the traitor hahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After listening to Sima Cong's words, Min Zhongguang laughed out of anger for a moment, and his body trembled because of anger: "Why did the people of the two countries suffer from this catastrophe, Mr. Sima, don't you know?!"

"I know."

Sima Cong squinted his eyes and refused to give an inch: "Isn't Dafeng the first to attack Yuanzhou in our country?"

"Why, Master Min is so forgetful?"

"you!"

His face turned red instantly, and Min Zhongguang was angry for a while, but he couldn't say anything after all.

really.

The war between the two countries was indeed caused by Da Bong.

Although the subsequent destruction of Yuanzhou City was the turning point of the war, there is no doubt about the initiator of the war.

While the real culprits of the "Wuanzhou City Massacre" are holding their own opinions, the right to define the "justice" of this war is undoubtedly in the hands of the winning side.

In other words, even if this war was initiated by Daning, the latter is also the "justice" party at this time.

What's more, it was a war launched by Dafeng.

"Lord Sima."

"What do we have to do to prove that we will not condone adultery"

With his head lowered and his teeth clenched, Min Zhongguang almost squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

It is impossible to hand over all the generals of the upper third rank. This is not only related to Dafeng's little remaining combat power, but also seriously shakes the morale of the army.

After all, no one is willing to work hard to betray their own country.

Then, Min Zhongguang could only settle for the next best thing.

He stared at Sima Cong, waiting for the latter to make another offer.

But Sima Cong didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Ning Yongnian.

When the latter's eyes stopped on Meng Shi, the answer became obvious.

"Master Min, this matter is actually quite simple."

"General Meng is the chief general of your country, and he is the biggest culprit in this battle. He should be brought to justice immediately."

"Well, that's all."

"If Lord Min is willing to put General Meng to death here, then our country believes that your country will not condone other criminals."

"how?"

"."

Putting Mengshi on the spot, you can save the other third rank generals.

The current situation is obvious, Ning Yongnian probably didn't intend to have those generals at all, but wanted Meng Shi to die from the very beginning.

Of course, Meng Shi only has the strength of sixth rank now, and he can kill him whenever he wants.

But for such an outstanding and loyal general, death at the hands of the enemy and death at the hands of one's own are completely different concepts.

Ning Yongnian wanted to force Dafeng to kill Meng Shi by himself, which would cause the internal disintegration of Dafeng and make the people of Dafeng completely disappointed with the court.

This reason is not complicated, it can be called a conspiracy.

But Dabong, who was at an extreme disadvantage in the negotiations, seemed unable to refuse

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Meng Shi, who bowed his head in silence, and even temporarily ignored Li Parasol Tree, whose expression suddenly became astonished, and Li Qi, who seemed to tremble slightly.

At this moment, Li Qi couldn't pretend anymore.

He knew that Ning Yongnian must be watching him right now, as long as he made a mistake, he would most likely be seen through by the former, thus making all the previous "reckless efforts" come to naught, and he would never have the chance to kill Ning Yongnian again.

However, no matter what, he was unwilling to watch Meng Shi die like this

The strength of rubbing the corner of the clothes involuntarily became a little bit stronger, but the silly smile on his face remained the same as before.

Li Qi didn't even look back at Meng Shi, but forcibly suppressed the grief and unwillingness in his heart, and tried his best to maintain this dull look.

He very much hoped that Li Parasol Tree could stand up at this time and save Mengshi.

But the latter said nothing after all.

Including Min Zhongguang, and more than a dozen civil servants and generals from Dafeng.

"."

"I didn't expect that I would die in the end because of a certain soldier who fought all my life"

Behind him, Meng Shi suddenly let out a soft sigh under the different eyes of everyone.

He stood up slowly, first staring at Ning Yongnian for a few breaths, as if he wanted to remember the latter's appearance firmly, and then looked back at Li Qi's back.

Meng Shi knew that he couldn't say anything to Li Qi, so he just shook his head slightly.

As for the others, he didn't even look at them.

"boom!"

Without any hesitation, he waved his palm towards his chest.

With the blood splattered everywhere, Meng Shi's vitality was completely annihilated.

But he still maintained a standing posture, like a sculpture made of flesh and blood.

Outside, the snow is getting heavier.

ps: Recently, everyone is scolding Li Parasol Tree, so let me just say it.

Li Parasol Tree was not a completely "positive character" from the beginning of the design, she put "Daebong" first in her heart.

As for her stupidity. Well, I feel like I've hinted at it many times before.

Anyway, it's normal for people to hate this character, because that's how it was designed

But it's not a disgusting reader! Just look back and you will know.

Also, to be clear again: Lee Parasol Tree is not one of the harem, nor is Xu Suisui.
