Chapter 918: The Magnificent Power of Han (Forty-Two)

Gao Yuan stood at the gate of Qinzheng Hall, with his hands behind his back, smiling as he looked at Fan Sui, the chief minister of the Qin State, who was walking towards him under the guidance of the infantry. Behind him, on the left, stood a man dressed in black. Cao Tianci is expressionless, and Ning Xin is on the right.

The time for Gao Yuan to stand on his own behalf on behalf of Yan has entered the countdown. On the issue of whether the capital of the new dynasty should be based on Jishi City or Jicheng, there have been many disputes within the Zhengdong Mansion. Some people believe that over the years, Jishi City has become The official political and economic center under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Prefecture, it is said that Zhengdong Prefecture and the Eastern Army must be called Jishi City. Therefore, it is appropriate to make Jishi City the capital. Some people think that Jishi City is located in a remote place. For the Eastern Conquest Army, it is naturally a good place, but now that the Eastern Conquest Army has captured the Yan State, and the next strategy of the Eastern Conquest Army is to manage the Central Plains, then the geographical location of Jishi City is obviously not conducive to the next step. Strategy, and more importantly, setting the capital at Gaoyuan in Jicheng can completely declare the end of the Yan Kingdom, which has extraordinary political significance.

The two sides argued for a long time, but Gao Yuan finally made the decision to temporarily make Jicheng the capital. In Gao Yuan's heart, Jicheng was just a transit station. After he unified the Central Plains, Jicheng would no longer be suitable to become a new political center.

"Fan Xiangyuan is here for your hard work!" Gao Yuan clasped his fists and greeted Fan Sui.

"Fan Sui from Qin, I have met the governor!" Fan Sui bent down and gave a deep salute to Gao Yuan. Although Gao Yuan had not taken that step yet, Fan Sui had fully complied with the standards of meeting the king of a country in terms of etiquette.

"Please, Prime Minister Fan, I think your country must be very anxious now. Gao is a martial artist, and he can't bear to be polite, so it's best to get straight to the point!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Commander, please be patient. Misunderstandings have broken out between you and me. Innocent people are dying every moment. It is indeed better to stop it as soon as possible. Governor, please go first." Fan Sui nodded.

Walking into the gate of Qinzheng Hall, Fan Sui couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the layout inside. In the middle of the spacious hall, there was a row of long tables. On both sides of the long table, the national flag of Qin and the one he had just placed on the city wall were erected. The Yellow Dragon Flag seen outside.

"Please sit down!" Gao Yuan walked directly to the side with the yellow dragon flag and gestured with his hand for Fan Sui to sit opposite him.

This made Fan Sui somewhat unaccustomed. He went on many missions, and no matter which family he negotiated with, the owner was always at the top, and he was the servant. Even when the treatment was good, he was only given a place to sit, like now. This was the first time he had sat across from the leader of a country, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Taking out the credentials from his arms, Fan Sui stood up and handed them to Gao Yuan with both hands, "This is the credentials of our King and Governor Gao. I, the King, deeply regret the accident that happened between the two parties."

Cao Tianci took the letter of credence and placed it in front of Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan did not open it to read it, but gently pushed it aside. He looked at Fan Sui and said, "Is it an accident? It doesn't matter now." What's important, what's important is, how to solve this matter? Fan Xiang, are you right? Because of this accident, I had to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops and travel thousands of miles. It can't be explained by more than just an accident. "

Fan Sui nodded, "Of course what Governor Gao said is reasonable. Because Lu Chao provoked trouble between the two parties, our king has ordered Heibingtai to take him back to Xianyang to await his punishment. Lu Chao, the Governor should be very familiar with him!"

"Of course we are familiar with each other." Gao Yuan smiled, "From a personal perspective, I have to call him big brother."

Fan Sui spread his hands and said, "As far as I know, Lu Chao sent troops to fight against the Eastern Conquest Army without permission this time because of his personal grudge with you, the governor. Everyone in our country is very angry about his behavior of not distinguishing between public and private affairs, and also It caused the casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers on both our sides, so my king decided to severely punish him."

"Oh, I wonder how serious it will be?" Gao Yuan leaned forward, showing this concern.

"The most serious one will be beheading!" Fan Sui felt a little proud in his heart. "Of course, this also depends on the outcome of the negotiation between me and the governor. If everything goes well, maybe the king will remember some of his past achievements. A lighter punishment may not be given.”

"What Prime Minister Fan said is wrong!" Before Gao Yuan could speak, Ning Xin, who was sitting next to Gao Yuan, spoke first, "Lu Chao, as a general of the Qin State, holds the power in his hands as a public weapon of the Qin State. His actions will be From our point of view, it naturally represents the will of the Qin court, so it is difficult for us to accept this personal grudge. How to deal with Lu Chao is your internal affairs. We will not and are unwilling to interfere with it, but we will give it to you. The losses caused by our side require an answer from the Qin court."

Gao Yuan has always felt guilty about the Lu family. It seems that Fan Sui is also aware of this. He quietly wants to put pressure on Gao Yuan so as to gain some upper hand in negotiations. Judging from past information, Gao Yuan is still It's very affectionate. But what Ning Xin said was equivalent to blocking some of Fan Sui's next thoughts. How to deal with Lu Chao is your business and we have no control over it.

"Who is this?" Fan Sui asked knowingly. How could Qin not understand the people around Gao Yuan?

"Ning Xin, my wife." Gao Yuan leaned back slightly and introduced to Fan Sui.

"Oh, it turns out it's the Third Madam, whom I've admired for a long time." Fan Sui said "I've admired you for a long time," but there was a look of disapproval in his eyes, "Captain Gao, is this a major military and national event?"

His meaning was very clear, but Gao Yuan said with a smile: "The system of our Zhengdong Mansion is somewhat different from your country. Under our Zhengdong Mansion, all men and women, as long as they are talented, can be officials. In our Zhengdong Army, Within the system, it is common for women to serve as officials.”

Fan Sui laughed a few times and said no more on this issue, "My King's intention is that both sides should immediately cease hostilities, withdraw their troops to their original territories, stop their troops, make a truce, and negotiate peace."

"It is of course possible to call off the troops and have a truce. However, our army has suffered heavy losses this time, and since the army has moved, it naturally cannot cease so quietly. I also have to explain it to everyone in Zhengdong Mansion. Millions of people above and below are all staring at me!" Gao Yuan said: "I wonder what price I am prepared to pay if I want to call a truce?"

"The price?" Fan Sui had a heavy look on his face, "Commander, in Fengcheng, we both suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and in Jiuyuan County, you occupied a large amount of my territory, and what's more, your family General He Lanxiong connives with his subordinates, killing, wounding, and looting in Jiuyuan County, and commits all kinds of evil. The losses suffered by our country are probably not comparable to those of yours!"

"Most of He Lanxiong's men are Huns, and they occasionally lose their temper. I can't do anything about it!" Gao Yuan laughed and pushed 265, "I don't know what happened in Jiuyuan. If it is true as Fan Xiang said, I will definitely take serious measures. How about dealing with He Lanxiong just like how your country dealt with Lu Chao?"

Fan Sui was at a loss for words. How could King Qin deal with Lu Chao again? This matter, at its core, was King Wulie of Qin's problem.

"I'm very pleased that the Commander-in-Chief said that!" Fan Sui said against his will: "I wonder what conditions Commander-in-Chief Gao has for ending this war that shouldn't happen?"

"It depends on your country's sincerity." Gao Yuan said calmly.

Fan Sui took out the map from his pocket, laid it flat on the table, reached for a pen from one side, casually drew a thick black line on the map, and then pushed the map to Gaoyuan in front of.

"What does this mean?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Within the thick line, from now on, it is the land of Zhengdong Mansion." Fan Sui stared at Gao Yuan, "Governor Gao, are we sincere enough?"

Staring at the eye-catching black line on the map in front of him, "What does this mean?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Within the black line, from now on it will be the area of ​​Zhengdong Mansion!" Fan Sui replied.

"But these are all the lands of the Wei people." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Now they are the land of Da Qin. If the governor is willing, they will be your land in the future!" Fan Sui said.

"Using other people's land to pay compensation, Fan Xiang is very calculating. Is this an attempt to divert disaster to the east?" Gao Yuan tapped his fingers on the table gently, "I, the Zhengdong Mansion, have always had a good relationship with the Wei State. If we take these lands, I'm afraid that the relationship with Wei will become bad, and your country will take advantage of this!" Gao Yuan sneered.

Of course Fan Sui does not expect his opponents to see through his intentions, but everyone is greedy. People like Gao Yuan will not be greedy for money and beautiful women, but they must have ambitions for land and territory that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. He knows it is a trap. , but with the strength of the Eastern Army and their lofty pride, they will never refuse.

This is an upright attempt to sow discord between Zhengdong Mansion and the Wei people.

"Do you dare to accept it, Commander-in-Chief?" Fan Sui looked at Gao Yuan provocatively, "If Commander-in-Chief is willing to accept it, on the day I return, the Qin army will withdraw from these places, and these places will be handed over to the Eastern Expedition Army intact. .”

"Your country is willing to give it up!" Gao Yuan looked at the map with a smile. This piece of land that Fan Sui seemed to have randomly drawn has thousands of square kilometers, almost one-third of the size of Wei. In other words, the Qin people They gave half of the territory of Wei that they had worked so hard to conquer for several years to themselves. Although they had sinister intentions, they couldn't help but be high-spirited and not be tempted.

"Why don't you dare to collect it? Of course you dare to collect it!" Gao Yuan laughed, "But in addition to these places, I also want another place." He stretched out his finger and poked hard on the map, "Zhongcheng, I still want to Zhongcheng. city."

Looking at the place pointed by Gao Yuan's finger, Fan Sui immediately frowned. Zhucheng is a city on the border between Wei and Han. What's terrible is that if Zhucheng falls into the hands of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, The Eastern Expeditionary Army can send troops into the three counties of Han at any time to cut off the Qin army in Wei.

"The governor has a big appetite!" Fan Sui said dissatisfiedly.

"Both the left and right are Wei people's land. I don't feel bad about selling my land. Fan Xiang, as long as you give me Juncheng, then I will sign this peace treaty." Gao Yuan laughed, "Your country's sincerity, in my opinion, This large area of ​​land cannot express itself as well as a city." (To be continued)
