Chapter 1069: Success in the East and Success in the West (Sixty-Two)

A large piece of felt was spread on the river embankment, and a desk was placed on the felt. The two sat cross-legged opposite each other. The roaring sound of the Yishui River could be heard in their ears, but Li Ru was thinking quickly in his mind. , he did not expect Gao Yuan to come here in person to conduct this negotiation, which made many of his previous strategies fall into place. Of course, Gao Yuan coming here in person is not without benefits, that is, once something is finalized, The intensity of future implementation and the possibility of achievement will be much more reliable.

"Great Qin hopes to end this unexpected war and reach peace with the Han Kingdom." Li Ru looked at Gao Yuan and said every word.

Gao Yuan gently knocked on the table, "Everyone Li, this is not an unexpected war, but a war that Qin has planned for a long time with clear strategic goals against Han. We can assume that if Without the tenacious resistance of our troops in Shannan County, and without the thousands of Xiongnu herdsmen on the prairie harassing the Qin army, then I, the Han Dynasty, in Dongye, would have been completely annihilated by you, and those who followed would definitely be Ji Shi. The counties, Dayan County, etc. in the backyard of my Han Dynasty are not safe. If these places are thrown away, our Han Dynasty will be in trouble immediately. What's more, in order to force Chu State to attack my Han Dynasty from both sides, you even sent three counties of Han to Chu. country. So, this is not an unexpected war, but the result of the war is beyond your expectation!"

Looking at Li Ru's slightly green face, Gao Yuan said calmly: "So in our negotiation today, although you and I are sitting at both ends of the table, we are not actually equal, because the negotiation between the two of us is not between us. To end the war, it’s you who come to beg for peace from my great man!”

"Why is His Highness the King of Han so aggressive?" Li Ru said softly: "We have indeed suffered heavy losses in this war, but the Han Dynasty is not unscathed. If you and I continue to fight, we will both lose and no one will suffer. No benefit."

"Really?" Gao Yuan chuckled, "I really haven't seen this yet. What I saw is that after the fall of Li Xin and Wang Xiao, your Qin army lost more than half of its elite troops. If my army attacks with all its strength at this time, Qin is afraid that it will overthrow at the turn of a palm."

"His Highness the King of Han did not mean what he said!" Li Ru gradually calmed down, "If this is really the case, will His Highness the King of Han still be in the mood to chat with an old man like me here? Since both sides have the intention to cease the war, then we Why not skip these unnecessary threats and get straight to the point?"

"Everyone Li, you are wrong!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "I think everyone Li has been studying the national policies of our country over the years, and must have a lot of experience in the development of our country. Then you should know that our country upholds The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the most important. We, the Han, do have the intention to end the war, but it is not because we think there is nothing we can do to Qin in terms of military, but because we, the Han people, are in this sudden attack by you. We have suffered heavy losses. If the war continues, the people of our Han Dynasty will suffer greater losses. This is not what we want to see. The most fundamental principle of our country is to make the people under our rule live a better life, so , we are willing to sit down and talk with you, but please remember one thing, Li, if you cannot satisfy us, we Han people also have the ability and psychological preparation to bear greater sacrifices until you, Qin, are defeated. We can no longer gain a foothold on this continent, everyone Li should understand that we now have this ability."

"I don't think you have this ability!" Li Ru shook his head and said: "Perhaps His Highness the King of Han does not understand the mobilization ability of our Great Qin. If our entire Great Qin mobilizes, it will not be a problem to mobilize another million troops."

"One million troops and one million troops are not the same thing." Gao Yuan chuckled: "If you say that you can win a war with more people, then Gao's more than ten years of fighting has not meant death. How many times has it happened? Mr. Li is not a general who leads an army, nor has he ever entered the DPRK to truly govern political affairs. Do you know how many people will be needed to provide logistical support and how much consumption will be required to mobilize an army of one million people? ?It’s not the time for the autumn harvest yet. I really want to know, if the Qin State really mobilizes a million troops, what will they feed these troops? If the Qin State really mobilizes a million troops, what will the Qin State do with this year’s autumn harvest? The food will rot. In the land?”

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Li Ru was a little dumbfounded. As Gao Yuan said, he never really entered the court to do any specific affairs in the Qin State. What he did were all those from a high position. When it comes to these common things, he really doesn’t understand much.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han probably doesn't understand the determination of a country that has been founded for hundreds of years and has a profound heritage to break the boat!" Naturally, Li Ru couldn't give up his arms just like that.

Gao Yuan nodded, "Of course I understand this. But the current Great Qin may not have the ability to sink the boat. Is your king's health okay? I wonder how long he can last, one month, two months?"

Gao Yuan stared into Li Ru's eyes tightly, but his words were like knives piercing Li Ru's heart.

Li Ru's pupils shrank. The news that King Qin Wulie's condition worsened because of Li Xin's defeat and Wang Jian's escape has always been the top secret of the Qin State. Only a few confidants could know that King Qin Wulie was at the last moment. No one outside knows about it. Where did Gao Yuan get the news?

"You, how do you know?" What Li Ru blurted out made Gao Yuan lean back slightly, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. A gentleman can be deceived. An academic master like Li Ru ignores common things. As expected, these little tricks can't be done quietly. If it were Fan Sui who was negotiating, I'm afraid Gao Yuan would get nothing from such a test.

"I wasn't sure at first, but now I'm sure!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"You lied to me!" Li Ru was furious. His face turned red and white, then turned red again. Fortunately, he was very well-behaved and did not jump up and spit at Gao Yuan.

"It's not a scam!" Gao Yuan spread his hands, "I have been guessing that King Qin Wulie will not be able to support it for too long. Do you want to know why we think so?"

"I would like to hear the details!" Li Ru said angrily.

"Li Xin, although Wang Xiao was defeated, the Qin army is still guarding Shannan County. Lu Chao and Meng Tian still have hundreds of thousands of troops under their command. We are also at war with the Chu State. The Qin army is not without power at this time. With the power of a battle, if Qin dares to fight, as long as it defeats our Han army in Wei and Yuyang, it is not impossible to turn defeat into victory, but you have begun to withdraw your troops in a hurry." Gao Yuan said. Talk: "What is this for?"

Li Ru said nothing.

"The biggest possibility is that there is an internal problem in the Qin State. Even if this battle is possible, you cannot fight it. But what problems will occur within the Qin State? The eldest prince was given death, and King Qin Wulie, who had always been worried about Meng Tian, ​​was killed. After being transferred to the direction of Wei, the 200,000-strong army was divided into two. The 100,000-strong army remaining on the border between Qin and Chu was handed over to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was capable, but he had no foundation in Qin except for attachment. The King of Qin, as a loyal dog, would have no chance of causing any trouble. However, Meng Tian was transferred back to Xianyang at this critical moment, and the army was handed over to Lu Chao. These can fully explain the problem. Now, King Wulie of Qin’s control over the court and the army of Qin State has risen to an unprecedented level. Therefore, it is unlikely that the Qin State itself will be unstable. The only instability is King Wulie of Qin himself."

Looking at Gao Yuan talking eloquently, Li Ru was shocked. From these matters that were not related to each other, Gao Yuan could actually guess that there was something wrong with King Qin Wulie's body, and he was indeed a monster.

"And, to be honest, Mr. Li, you are very knowledgeable, but negotiation is not your strong point. If it is Fan Sui, it makes me feel more normal, but it is you Mr. Li who comes. This shows that Fan Sui can't get away at all, but apart from Fan Sui, Qin State really can't find anyone with weight to negotiate with my big man, so Li and everyone have become the last resort. All this makes me come to the conclusion We came to the conclusion that King Wulie of Qin will be dead soon!" Gao Yuan looked at Li Ru: "So, everyone, Li, Qin is indeed capable of carrying out a desperate battle for the fate of the country, but it is not something that the fourth prince Ying Ying who is about to succeed can do it. , your biggest task now should be to ensure the smooth transition of power, right? This is the real reason why you are eager to end the war."

Li Ru was speechless for a while, then nodded, "You are right."

"In this case, everyone Li should understand that we are not equal in this negotiation. Therefore, if Qin cannot show real sincerity, then war will come unexpectedly. I believe you are on your way here. , I have also learned from Lu Chao about the situation that Qin is facing now. Our Eastern Field Army, Northern Field Army, Central Field Army and the Young Guards Corps of our Han Dynasty have made preparations for battle. In the court, Qin continued to fight The discussion of the war has been going on, and the Great Council will also discuss it in the near future. If everyone from Li does not give me a good answer this time, I will not be able to persuade those great councilors in the Great Council to stop fighting against Qin. , it’s very simple, I need to get benefits to make them shut up.”

"Great Council?" Li Ru took a deep breath, "This is just an excuse for you. Isn't it just you who decides the Han Kingdom?"

"Now I can naturally make decisions in the Han Kingdom, but the Great Council is something I created with my own hands. Naturally, I will not personally break the rules of this game. Therefore, I will definitely decide what the Great Council decides. Support. If everyone Li is interested in this big council, we can have a good discussion about it in the future. I, Gao, have always been very happy to discuss academic issues with academic experts like everyone Li. Jicheng Comprehensive University brings together most of the academic schools in the world, so it will naturally welcome everyone to come and communicate." Gao Yuan said with a smile. R1152
