I’m The King Chapter 1146: (thirty six)

When it comes to business, Wu Qi is not in a hurry now. He has obtained enough information today, and he thinks that he has caught the people of Chu, so why should he be so anxious? People of Chu They were not ready for a full-scale war with Han. It can be said that the Battle of Pengcheng mobilized more than 100,000 elite troops, which was almost the limit of what they could mobilize now. The Qin people made it under the opponent, but are they really relieved of the Qin people?

No.

A country that has been peaceful for too long and a country that has been growing up in the flames of war are completely different concepts in terms of war mobilization.

The people of Chu fought this battle with all their strength, just to change their strategically disadvantaged position with Han. In addition, they want to win this battle and ask for some benefits.

There is absolutely no way to do it without benefits. The way of politics is nothing more than two words of compromise, mutual compromise. What Wu Qi is thinking about now is how to bring the new army back home with dignity.

Both of them looked at the wine glass in front of them, as if a delicious flower suddenly bloomed out of the crystal clear wine in the wine glass, both of them were old foxes, naturally neither of them wanted to speak first.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the two protagonists remained silent, so Zhao Mingcheng and Huo Xiaolin, who were standing behind them, couldn't bear it any longer. Keeping calm, he just couldn't stop looking at Huang Xie, and Huo Xiaolin was just the servant of the Ministry of Rites, a scholar, this scene was a bit overwhelming, and he twisted around uneasy.

"Huang Shoufu, I went to the garden today, and I was in a good mood. You rushed here just to sit with me and be speechless. To be honest, looking at you is far worse than looking at a young girl." It's so pleasing to the eye!" Wu Qi finally opened his mouth, but what he said was full of ridicule.

Huang Xie frowned, "Wu Yizheng, what does your majesty mean by suddenly having a youth guard army of more than 100,000 troops?"

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Wu Qi's eyes widened in surprise, "Huang Shoufu, I've been exhausted for a while, and when I arrived in Yingcheng, I finally rested for two days. Something? I really haven’t heard any news.”

Huang Xie swept Wu Qi's suspicious eyes back and forth, as if he wanted to judge from Wu Qi's expression that what he said was true, but it was a pity that the other party's calm expression was like a piece of rotten wood for a thousand years , I can’t see what I want at all.

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know, but it's also understandable. My king has fought for ten years, and he has never lost. Invincible, invincible, never suffered a loss, this time the matter of the new army made him furious, and it is justified. Huang Shoufu, after all, my king is not yet thirty years old, impulsive Some things are also natural."

"Impulsive?" Huang Xie sneered: "Your majesty is young, but your country's government officials and ministers are not young at all. Don't they want this army to move, your country's new First Army Will it be wiped out."

Wu Qi sighed: "Huang Shoufu, the situation in our country, if you want to believe Huang Shoufu is very clear, the king's prestige in the country can be said to be second-hand. In our big man, even if the gods come to make trouble, my family With the order of the king, the whole country will inevitably dance to the gods. This point, Huang Shoufu must be clear, and besides, the failure of the new army this time also shamed the military. The sound is endless, and the Great Council, by the way, you should know the Great Council, those great councilors are clamoring all day long to fight Chu State to the death, under such circumstances, how long do you think our council can last!"

This is what Huang Yi is worried about. Although a young king, although he is very talented, his youthful vigor is probably not like people like himself. It is really possible for the king to launch a war for a breath of breath and a momentary face. Soldiers, not to mention, without fighting, how do they get promoted and get rich? It is even more of a freak, its power is even above the council hall, and even the policies decided by their political council hall are negated if they are negated.

Who are the people in the big council? Retired soldiers, farmers, big businessmen, anyway, there are no officials, especially those businessmen, and they are just flies that smell blood. As long as there is a war, They have a bigger business to do, armaments, quilts, food, horses, and money flow into their purses.

The country of Han is ingenious. These economic lifelines, which are related to major national affairs, are handed over to these big businessmen for overall management. Which of these people does not expect to make a fortune by relying on war? As for whether the country wins or loses, they Do you really care, even if Han loses and the country dies, they can change their king and live happily ever after?

Thinking of this, Huang Xie shuddered. What if Gao Yuan really lost his head and would risk everything to fight a national destiny battle with Chu State? Even if Chu State won, what good would it be? Broken, people are dying, the country will not be a country, and the only thing that is happy is the Qin people who sit on the side and watch the tiger's head. Maybe there will be a lose-lose situation, and the Qin people will reap the benefits.

"Does Wu Yizheng also hope that a large-scale war will break out between us?" Huang Xie asked in a deep voice.

"Of course I don't want to. No one in the meeting hall thinks about it, but we can't influence the king's idea. Huang Shoufu, I might as well tell you that I have come to negotiate with your country this time. Before I left, I asked the king for instructions. Where is our bottom line? Do you know how the king answered me?"

"I would like to hear more about it!"

"It doesn't matter!" Wu Qi had a wry smile on his face.

It doesn't matter. Huang Xie chewed these three words carefully, and the more he chewed, the more frightened he became. It seemed to reveal Gao Yuan's brutal intentions to fight.

"It is said that your king cherishes soldiers like his sons, but now he doesn't care about the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers?"

Wu Qi pondered for a moment, "It is true that the king loves soldiers like sons, but this moment is also that moment!"

Wu Qi didn't say much, but who was Huang Xie, he immediately understood what Wu Qi hadn't said. In the past, Gao Yuan really loved soldiers like a son, but now he is a king, with an army of hundreds of thousands , the king of a great country with tens of millions of subjects.

This moment is also that moment.

Huang Xie fell silent. He hoped that his opponent would be rational rather than emotional. The person sitting opposite him is indeed a very rational politician, but his master, the young founder of the country, is very likely To start an irrational war for one's own face or for a moment.

"Let's talk about it!" Huang Xie took a deep breath: "We don't want to fight an all-out war with Han, because it will only benefit the people of Qin. Then, Wu Yizheng thinks how can our two countries be in harmony Fight."

"I think the most important condition is that our new army can return safely." Wu Qi said.

"The New First Army can leave safely, but what can we get?" Huang Xie said: "Wu Yizheng has also been in charge of Wei Guo's government for many years, so he naturally understands that if there is not enough interest, I will not be able to confess."

"What do you want?" Wu Qi smiled and said: "I think you should have obtained a lot, at least, in the direction of Pengcheng, we can no longer pose a threat to you in a short time."

"You started the war. Your new army brazenly invaded our country. Since it failed, you will naturally have to pay some price."

"No, you started the war. If it wasn't for your assistance, Mao Wei would not have left the territory of Han. Huang Shoufu is a sensible person, so he naturally knows what Mao Wei means to you and me. "Wu Qi lowered his face." If you hand over Mao Wei, then we can consider your other conditions."

"It's impossible." Huang Xie leaned forward, "Dynamite, this is a shocking artifact, a weapon that can change the mode of war. If only one country owns it, then for other countries, it is like hanging on the horizon." The sword above the head, only everyone has it, is the best way to avoid war.”

"If that's the case, what more do you want?"

"Last year, you took away thousands of miles of land from us, and you have to give it back to us." Huang Xie said, "In addition, we want Suiyang."

Wu Qi laughed when he heard Huang Xie's words, and raised the case, "Huang Shoufu, I don't think we need to talk anymore. If your request is passed back to China, it will become a war outbreak The pushing hands of the Han people, regardless of the monarchs, ministers and common people, will not agree to such a request."

"Those lands belong to us." Huang Xie said.

"But what about Suiyang?"

"Your army stationed in Suiyang is a great threat to us, and Pengcheng is close at hand." Huang Xie said.

Wu Qi pondered for a while, "We can withdraw from the side of Daba Mountain and return this land with a radius of thousands of miles to you, but Suiyang, you don't need to mention it."

"If this is the case, then the new army must disarm before they can leave, put down all their weapons, including the armor on their bodies, and we will ensure that they leave safely, how about this?"

"If this is the condition, I think the new army would rather die in battle." Wu Qi shook his head and said: "Huang Shoufu, you and I don't want to fight right now. This is very clear. Both of us, There will definitely be a war in the future. Now, you are not ready, and we have not completely defeated your power. To put it bluntly, everyone needs time to accumulate strength, but wars sometimes break out, often caused by some trivial things Yes, I don't want to change our current position because of such things. I propose that neither you nor I should garrison troops from Sanchuan to Tucheng. How about that? In this way, you are in Pengcheng and I am in Suiyang. There is a buffer zone of hundreds of miles. This is the bottom line of our political affairs hall. It is also the condition for me to convince the king." (To be continued)
