Chapter 155 Negotiation of Peace (2)
Duan Shao and Yuwen Hu are the supreme commanders on both sides respectively, and they should also take the lead in the peace talks. If they report to the court first and then let the court make a decision, it will take a long time to make a comeback. In such a time, it is difficult to guarantee any changes.
The tent is full of high-level generals of Gao Qi, a great military general, who licked blood from the knife and had half his life in war. At this time, they all remained silent and stared at Liu Yong straight, which really put a lot of pressure on him.
No one dares to guarantee that if what he said is wrong, the negotiations will collapse, and even his life will be explained here.
Liu Yong looked carefully at Duan Shao and the two giants in the army: "The Otsukazu was willing to withdraw all from the east of Heyin and return the eleven cities of Qi..."
Duan Shao showed a little surprise and raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Yuwen Hu was willing to spit out the meat in the bowl. Then, what are his conditions?"
"Please ask Taizai Duan to withdraw from Fenbei and Fennan and return the captured city of our dynasty..."
As soon as this was said, all the generals in the tent were laughed out loud. Qi Lian suddenly pulled out his waist and pressed it on his neck, and said with a grim smile: "Yuwen Hu is probably confused. These hundreds of miles of rivers and mountains have been fought for more than a year, and we have been hit by each sword and shot. Yuwen Hu wanted to leave with just one word? First ask if my knife agreed or not!"
Wei Xiangyuan said with a blank face: "Please understand the situation and then talk about peace. The defeated Zhou Dynasty is not our Da Qi. Now at this negotiating table, you should give in. We are willing to talk to you on the table. We have already retained the face of Zhou State. Don't be more frugal!"
"We have lost more than a dozen cities, so we can take them back without Yuwen Hu's help... Don't make it look like an equivalent exchange. Your goods are all in our hands. I'm afraid they are not qualified to talk to us, right?"
Liu Yong remained unmoved and just said, "Your country thinks this is unacceptable? You can also tell your country that this is also the bottom line of our Otsukazai. Now, Dazai and Zuo Prime Minister only need to nod or shake their heads."
This aggressive posture seemed to be defeated by the Qi army. Qi Lian was so angry that he was about to kill him on the spot, but was stopped by Hu Luguang with a threat.
Duan Shao looked at him playfully: "If I nodded, what should I do? Shake my head, what should I do?"
When Liu Yong faced Duan Shao, he had to put away his pretended underestimation and said respectfully: "If the Taizai was willing to reconcile and withdraw from Fenbei and Fennan, we would not only be willing to withdraw all of them, but also be willing to cultivate a hundred years of friendship with Qi as a brotherly country. Of course, we will also compensate for the losses caused to Qi by this war..."
"If Dazai disagrees, then the loss of land will be too serious for our dynasty. In order to avoid turmoil in the dynasty, even if Otsukazuka is unwilling to do so, he has to go to war with Daqi again..."
Liu Yong was not like a marching general at this time, like a wise businessman, full of temptation: "The advantage of Da Qi is not in Fenbei and Fennan, and the interests of our dynasty are not east of Heyin. Why not take a step back? If you are harmonious, you will benefit from both sides. What do you think?"
Duan Shao looked at him with a smile, and Cihe's eyes made Liu Yong shudder. After a while, he said: "I said it very well, continue to say..."
Liu Yong couldn't figure out the old man's thoughts, and was nervous, so he had to continue to slander: "As far as I know, there is not much money, food and supplies left by the Qi army. Luoyang and Jinyang's Cang Mansion have been emptied. Our army was only a small army withdrew from Fenbei and could come back at any time. General Longen, the Hou of Tongzhou, was also ready to go and sent troops to conquer Yiyang again at any time... I have said this, and I hope Dazai thinks three times..."
Duan Shao nodded and said, "After saying that, please go back and tell Yuwen Hu that he wants to fight. Even if I give all my twelve military states under my command, I will accompany you to the end!"
"Fenbei and Fennan are already the territory of our dynasty, and we can't give up in an inch of land! If Yuwen Hu has the ability, he will come and take it. If he doesn't have the ability, don't talk... The loser does not have the qualification to bargain with me!"
"As for Yiyang, you are not afraid of being beaten with blood. Even if you go, Fu Fu still makes the Zhou army unable to move forward. Besides, there are two princes and thousands of soldiers who rushed to Yiyang to help. How could you take it off with your mouth? Are you a three-year-old child who is easy to deceive?"
"... Since the negotiation cannot be reached, then fight!"
Duan Shao opened the curtain of the big tent and buried himself in the night.
Wei Xiangyuan and others stared at Liu Yong with strange expressions. At this time, Liu Yong's expression was very wonderful, with a burst of blue and a burst of white.
He couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, it's useless to say more, so let's go back and prepare for the war... and go back to the camp."
Liu Yong stayed for a long time before bowing and saying, "Goodbye..."
"Stay at your disposal!" Huluguang blocked Liu Yong's way with a smile:
"Actually, it's not impossible for you Otakuya to want Fennan and Fenbei..."
He got closer. Huluguang was not very tall, but his aggressive aura forced Liu Yong to retreat continuously.
Liu Yong's eyes stopped on his hand holding the knife, worried that he would put the knife on his neck the next second, his calves were a little weak, and he forced himself to: "Condition?"
"Get the jade bi to exchange it with me. As long as you dismantle the jade bi, I promise that Daqi will return Fenzhou with both hands. How about it?"
Liu Yong: “…”
Huluguang said: "Why, you can't bear to leave Yubi? Well, Wei Xiaokuan's orders can be exchanged. This old boy dares to frame me, I wish I could twist his head. If you can make this anger for me, I will present hundreds of miles of fertile soil in Fenzhou with both hands?"
Only then did Liu Yong understand that Hu Luguang was clearly playing tricks on him. So his tone became heavier, "Jade Bi is crucial to our dynasty. Wei Xiaokuan is also a general and a pillar of the country. The left prime minister should not make such a joke!"
Huluguang's smile restrained and suddenly became expressionless: "You are the ones who joked with me first..."
"By the way, when will Yuwen Hu be ready to ascend the throne and become emperor, please inform us so that we can send an envoy to congratulate you."
Then he stopped caring about Liu Yong and followed Duan Shao's pace.
Several soldiers of Qi went forward to invite him, "Empress, please come back..."
Liu Yong was taken out of the camp by his soldiers and sighed. Half was disappointed and half was scared. He had not been more frightened in his life than he had today. When he returned, the Otsukakura was furious again...
"Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian..." Huluguang caught up with Duan Shao, "Are you really planning to start a war with Yuwen Hu again?"
"Yuwen Hu has retreated. Now he is just showing some attitude to intimidate us and wants to snatch some meat from our mouths..."
Duan Shao leisurely: "After all, it's better to ask for a price to pay back the money. Just wait. It won't take long to talk to us, and he talked in a humble manner..." He laughed jokingly and entered his tent.
After a while, the old man's voice came again: "Dr. Sun is good... take medicine? Let's get goodbye today..."
Then the old man sighed dejectedly, "Okay, okay, I'll drink."
…………
"So, Duan Xiaoxian refused?"
Yuwen Hu sat in the carriage, with the curtains spread open. On the mountain road, the Zhou army was walking between the mountains like a long dragon.
"Yes, Duan Shao means, you can beat me if you want to fight, and you are too lazy to negotiate with us..."
Liu Yong leaned over in front of the car and was extremely respectful. Although the old man in front of him was defeated, he was still the most powerful person in Zhou State.
"If I give up withdrawing now and turn around and fight, how confident are I to defeat the Qi army?"
"Otatsuzaku, if we return to the army to fight now, our chances of victory are not great. Duan Xiaoxian and Hulu Mingyue hope that we will have a decisive battle with them. Otatsuzaku, our dynasty is seriously injured this time, and most of the remaining centuries will not be damaged anyway..."
"What do you mean or have to talk about?"
"Isn't this what Otsukazai originally meant?"
"I originally wanted to wait for Yuwen Chun to take Yiyang and then openly talk to Duan Xiaoxian. But now, Yiyang cannot take it, and we have no record of making the same record. If we talk to them, we can only be slaughtered, so..."
Yuwen Hu sighed helplessly: "Wait a minute, order Hou Longen, Hou Wanshou, Yuwen Sheng to attack Qi's army south, advance to Luoyang, Yiyang, and observe the results."
Liu Yong wanted to dissuade Yuwen Hu, and if he was constantly interrupted, he would suffer the chaos. Liu Yong was not optimistic about the result of Zhou's army's southward journey. In his opinion, Yuwen Chun, Tian Hong, and Hou Longen did not join forces to deal with Fu Fu and Gao Yanzong, and it is even more impossible to have any results now. And now, there is a little problem with the morale of Zhou army...
It is hard to say if the Zhou army wins. If the Zhou army is defeated, Qi will only be more arrogant. The negotiations will only be more difficult. Why can't Otsukazai understand?
Liu Yong paused again and again, and finally suppressed the impulse to persuade him. The old man was prone to paranoid. The Otsukazuka had been competing with Qi for many years, and he was even more certain in the court and had a great power. Now he was defeated and could not swallow his breath.
The result was that he did not hesitate to suspend peace talks and proposed such or even absurd conditions with Qi State, and he also wanted to fight for it. What is the significance of this?
Facts proved that Liu Yong was right. Hou Longen and others were defeated without even touching the edge of Yiyang. Gao Yanzong and Gao Changgong took advantage of the opportunity of the Zhou army not yet uniting the army and adopted a strategy of defeating one by one. The high-speed and efficient movements made the Zhou army beaten to pieces and the army had no fighting spirit. At this time, it was less than four days before the end of the first round of negotiations.
Yuwen Hu negotiated with the Qi army again in a cold mood. Duan Shao not only captured the entire territory of Fenzhou and protected Yiyang, but also captured Hezhou occupied by the Zhou army. The Xianbei tribe chief led more than 10,000 people to surrender to the Great Qi and surrendered to Qi.
At this point, Yuwen Hu withdrew from the entire game, and Daqi truly won the victory.
The military newspaper rushed forward for 800 miles and arrived directly at Jinyang and Yecheng. The soldiers, civilians and the people shouted long live.
In Zhaoyang Palace, Gao Wei looked at the military newspaper and smiled, feeling a little happy and relieved. The ministers on duty all stood up to congratulate him.
"Don't give up the gift, let's just stay calm... After this battle, Fu Fu was promoted to the deputy governor of the Jingji. After receiving the edict, he immediately took office. Two months later, he accompanied Jinyang. Gao Yanzong and Gao Changgong, each rewarded gold and silk, and was awarded the title of Shangshu of Xingtai..."
Seeing that Your Majesty is happy, Wang Lin cannot miss this opportunity to add icing on the cake:
"Report to Your Majesty, the more than 10,000 imperial guards who have accompanied Jinyang have been selected. The armor and weapons are complete and can be called at any time in two months..."
“How is the training situation?”
"Unitative and uniform military discipline."
He can only say that now. No matter how good the soldiers are trained, no matter how good the soldiers who have never been on the battlefield look, they are just a fancy way.
Gao Wei also knew this, so he did not emphasize the requirements too much. He just nodded and said, "Okay, fortunately, I have to transfer a few more people to Jinyang. Are you willing to lend me some money?"
Wang Lin was stunned and said, "We are all your ministers, and we are still willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty. Your Majesty just cares about calling..."
"Okay, I want to call Murong Sanzang and Ku Di Shiwen, and that Yang Su, any position he has in his current position?"
"Your Majesty, Yang Su is now the Captain of Zhechong..."
"How did he behave?" After Yang Fu and Yang Su were taken to Yecheng, Gao Wei directly recruited Yang Su to serve in the court.
Yang Su is a good seedling. Yang Jian made great efforts to capture the world, and he is a top talent.
Wang Lin frowned when she mentioned this person, and was a little hesitant. Gao Wei glanced at his expression and smiled and said, "What, what's wrong with him?"
Wang Lin hurriedly said, "It's not wrong. This person is quite safe in doing things, but... it's just that the work is too regular and has no outstanding features. I don't understand why Your Majesty values him so much. Moreover, this person has a bad relationship with his colleagues. He is also surrendered to Zhou State, so I'm worried..."
Gao Wei was a human being in two lifetimes, so how could he not know what Yang Su was thinking?
He was summoned and surrendered because of his father and his own safety. Now he is not convinced. Hey, it is said that Gao Yanzong used his method of capturing him to be useless... It was a fierce horse...
But now that his father and himself are in Gao Wei's hands, he is not afraid that Yang Su will make a comeback.
So Gao Wei smiled and said, "Is he still not convinced? Haha, then... it's him.
Chapter completed!
