Speaking of business, Wu Qi is not in a hurry at all now, today he has set up enough information, and he thinks that he has caught the vein of the Chu people, so what else is there to be anxious about? The Chu people were not ready for a full-scale war with the Han State, so to speak, the Battle of Pengcheng mobilized more than 100,000 elite troops at once, which was almost the limit of what they could mobilize now, and this was done under the condition of greatly relaxing the opponent with the Qin people, but did they really have to rest assured of the Qin people?

Definitely.

A country that has been at peace for too long and a country that has been growing up in the midst of war are completely different concepts when it comes to war mobilization.

The Chu people did their best to fight this battle, just to change their strategically inferior position with the Han state, and in addition, to figure out that guò won this battle and asked for some benefits.

There is definitely no way to do it, and the way of politics is nothing more than the word compromise, mutual compromise, and what Wu Qi is thinking about now is how to bring the new army home with dignity.

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

Time passed minute by minute, the two protagonists were still silent, thinking that Zhao Mingcheng and Huo Xiaolin, who were standing behind the two, couldn't stand it anymore, Zhao Mingcheng was better, he was born as a general, and he could still barely maintain his composure, but he couldn't stop looking at Huang Xie, and Huo Xiaolin was just a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, a scholar, this scene was a little unbearable, and he twisted around uneasily.

"Huang Shoufu, today I went to the garden, and it was a good time, you rushed over, wouldn't it be just to sit with me without saying a word, to be honest, looking at you is far less pleasing to the eye than looking at a young girl!" Wu Qi finally spoke, but what he said was full of ridiculous words.

Huang Xie frowned, "Wu Yizheng, what does it mean that your king suddenly has more than 100,000 troops of the Young Guards Legion?"

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Wu Qi's eyes widened in surprise, "Huang Shoufu, I've been tired all these days, and when I arrived in Yingcheng, I finally rested for two days, did such a big thing happen in Jicheng?" I haven't heard anything from me."

Huang Xie's suspicious eyes swept around Wu Qi's face, as if he wanted to judge from Wu Qi's expression that what he said was true, but unfortunately, the other party's expression was like a thousand-year-old wood, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at all.

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know, but it's understandable, my king has been fighting for ten years, and he has been undefeated, whether it is with the Huns, or with the Donghu people, or with the Qin people, the Zhao people, the Qi people, my king is invincible, invincible, and has never suffered a loss. Huang Shoufu, speaking of which, my king is not yet thirty years old after all, and it is natural to be impulsive."

"Impulsive?" Huang Xie sneered: "Your king is young, but the politics of your country, as well as the ministers, are not young at all. Don't they think that as soon as this army moves, your country's newly formed first army will be wiped out?"

Wu Qi sighed: "Huang Shoufu, the situation in my country, I want to believe that Huang Shoufu is very clear, the prestige of the king in the country can be said to be not a second person, in our Han Dynasty, even if the gods come to make trouble, the king of my family will give an order, and the whole country will inevitably dance to the gods. This point, thinking about it, Huang Shoufu must be undoubted, besides, the failure of the new first army this time also disgraced the military, and the voice of the military's main battle is endless, and the big council, by the way, you should know the big council, those big councilors are also clamoring all day long to fight to the death with the Chu State, in this case, how long do you think our council hall can last!"

Huang Yi is worried about this, a young king, although he is majestic and strategic, but the competitive heart of the young man is only afraid that he is not like his own people, they all belong to the role of no profit and cannot afford to be early, sometimes such a king is really possible to start a war for the sake of one breath, a momentary face, soldiers, not to mention, there is no war, how can they be promoted and rich, how can they gallop? As for the strange form of government of the Han State, the inexplicable Great Council, it was even more a freak, whose power was even more than that of the council, and even the policies decided by their council were denied if they said that they were negative.

Who are the people in the Great Council? Retired soldiers, peasants, big businessmen, anyway, there is not a single official, especially those merchants, but also some flies that will pounce on them when they smell blood, as long as they fight, they will have a greater business to do, ordnance, clothing, grain, grass, chariots and horses, silver which is like flowing water into their purses.

The Han State is ingenious, these economic lifelines related to national affairs have been handed over to these big businessmen to manage as a whole, which of these people does not expect to make a fortune by relying on war? As for whether the Han Kingdom will win or lose, do they really care, even if the Han Kingdom loses the war and dies, they will change to a king and still live a leisurely life?

Thinking of this, Huang Xie shivered, what if Gao Yuan was really dizzy and did not hesitate to have a battle of national fortune with the State of Chu? Even if the Chu State wins, what is the benefit, when the mountains and rivers are broken, the lives will be ruined, and the country will not be a country, the happy people are just the Qin people who sit on the side and watch the tiger's head.

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

"Naturally, I don't want to, no one in the council hall wants to, but we can't influence the king's idea, Huang Shoufu, I might as well tell you, I came to negotiate with your country this time, and I asked the king for instructions before leaving, where is our bottom line? Do you know what the king said to me?"

"I want to hear about it!"

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

Doesn't matter. Huang Xie chewed these three words carefully, and the more he chewed, the more frightened he became, which seemed to reveal Gao Yuan's savage intentions at the expense of a battle.

"It is said that your king cherishes his soldiers like a son, and now he has no regard for the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers?"

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

Wu Qi didn't say much, but who was Huang Xie, and he immediately understood what Wu Qi didn't finish, Gao Yuan was indeed a soldier like a son before, but now he is the king, a king of a great country with hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of millions of subjects.

This time is also that time.

Huang Xie fell silent, he hoped that the opponent was a rational rather than an emotional one, and now sitting opposite him was indeed a very rational politician, but his master, the young founding master, was very likely to start an irrational war for his own face or momentary anger.

"Let's spread it out!" Huang Xie took a deep breath: "We don't want to fight a full-scale war with the Han State, because it will only cheapen the Qin people, then, how does Wu Yizheng think our two countries can not fight."

"I think the most important condition is, of course, that our new army can return safely." Wu Qidao.

"The New First Army can leave unharmed, but what do we get?" Huang Xie said: "Wu Yizheng has also been in charge of the Wei dynasty for many years, so he naturally understands that if there are not enough interests, I will not be able to explain."

"What do you want?" Wu Qi smiled and said, "I think you should have gained a lot, at least, in the direction of Pengcheng, we can't pose a threat to you in a short period of time."

"The war was provoked by you, and your new army has brazenly invaded our country, and since it has failed, it will naturally have to pay some price."

"No, the war was provoked by you, if it weren't for your assistance, Mao Wei would not have been able to leave the land of the Han Kingdom, Huang Shoufu is an understanding person, and naturally knows what Mao Wei means to you, to me." Wu Qi sank his face. If we hand over Maowei, then we can consider your other conditions."

"It can't be." Huang Xie leaned forward, "Explosives, this is a shocking artifact, a weapon that can change the mode of war, if only one country has him, then for other countries, it is a sword hanging above their heads, only everyone has it, it is the best way to avoid war."

"In that case, what more could 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."

When Wu Qi heard Huang Xie's words, he laughed and pushed the case, "Huang Shoufu, I don't think there is any need for us to talk about it. If your request is transmitted back to China, it will become the driving force behind the outbreak of war, and the whole Han country, regardless of the monarchs and the people, will not agree to such a request."

"The land was ours." HUANG Xiedao.

"But what about Suiyang?"

"Your stationing a large army in Suiyang is a great threat to us, and Pengcheng is close at hand." HUANG Xiedao.

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

"If that's the case, then the new army must be disarmed before they can leave, lay down all their weapons, including the armor on their bodies, and we will guarantee that they will leave safely, how about that?"

"If such conditions are the case, I think the new army would rather die in battle." Wu Qi shook his head and said: "Huang Shoufu, you, I, don't want to fight now, this is very clear, you and me, there will definitely be a battle in the future, now, you are not ready, what about us, we have not completely defeated your strength, to put it bluntly, everyone needs time to accumulate strength, but the outbreak of war sometimes is often caused by some small things, I don't want to change the current position of both of us because of such things, I mention, from Sanchuan to Tucheng, you and I are not allowed to garrison troops." How is it? In this way, you are in Pengcheng and I am in Suiyang, and there is a buffer zone of hundreds of miles in between. This is the bottom line of our political hall. It's also a condition on which I can convince the king." (To be continued......)
