A large piece of felt was spread on the embankment, a table rested on the felt, the two sat down cross-legged, and the rumbling sound of the Yishui River roaring and rushing came from their ears, but Li Ru quickly calculated in his heart, he didn't expect Gao Yuan to come to this negotiation in person, which made many of his previous strategies suddenly fall into the void, of course, Gao Yuan came here in person, it is not without benefits, that is, if something is finalized, the strength of the future implementation and the possibility of achieving it will be much more reliable.

"Great Qin wants to end this unexpected war! Make peace with the Han Kingdom." Li Ru looked at Gao Yuan and said word by word.

Gao Yuan knocked lightly on the table, "Everyone Li, this is not an unexpected war, but a war with a clear strategic goal that the Qin State has been planning for a long time against the Han State. We can assume that if there is no stubborn resistance of our department in Shannan County, and if there is no attack on the Qin army by thousands of Xiongnu herdsmen on the prairie, then my Han Dongye will be completely annihilated by you, and it will be followed by Jishi County, Dayan County and other backyards of my Han Dynasty. So, it's not an unexpected war, it's just that the outcome of the war is beyond your expectations!"

Looking at Li Ru's somewhat blue face, Gao Yuan said lightly: "So our negotiation today, although you and I sit at both ends of the desk, are actually not equal, because the negotiation between the two of us is not that we want to end the war, but that you come to beg for peace with my Han!"

"Why is His Royal Highness the King of Han so aggressive?" Li Ru said softly: "In this war, we have indeed suffered heavy losses, but the Han is not unscathed, if you and I continue to fight, I am afraid that we will lose both, and no one will be able to get benefits."

"Really?" Gao Yuan smiled, "I really haven't seen this, all I see is that your Qin army lost half of Tai after the destruction of Li Xin and Wang Xiao, if my army attacks with all its strength at this time, the Qin State is only afraid of overturning."

"His Royal Highness the King of Han is insincere in what he said!" Li Ru gradually settled down, "If this is the case, will His Royal Highness the King of Han still be in the mood to accompany an old man like me to gossip here?" Since both sides have the intention of an armistice, why don't we skip these unnecessary threats and get straight to the point?"

"Everyone Li, you're wrong!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Thinking about it, everyone Li has been studying the national policy of my Han Dynasty all these years, and must have a lot of experience in the development of my Han Dynasty, so you should know that my Han Dynasty adheres to the principle of putting the people first, the society is secondary, and the Jun is again, our Han does have the intention of ending the war, but it is not that we think that we are helpless against the Qin State in the military, but because my Han people have suffered heavy losses in this sudden attack of you, if the war continues, then my Han people will have to suffer even greater losses. This is not what we want to see, the most fundamental thing in the founding of our Han Dynasty is to make the people under our rule live better, so we are willing to sit down and talk to you, but there is one thing that please remember Li everyone, if we can't be satisfied, our Han people also have the ability and psychological preparation to bear greater sacrifices, until your Qin State can no longer gain a foothold on this continent, Li everyone should understand that we now have this ability."

"I don't think you have what it takes!" Li Ru shook his head and said: "Or His Royal Highness the King of Han doesn't understand the mobilization ability of my Great Qin, if I mobilize all of Great Qin, it will not be a problem to mobilize another million troops."

"An army of a million and an army of a million are not the same thing." Gao Yuan smiled: "If there are more people to win the war, then Gao someone has been fighting for more than ten years, but I don't know how many times he has to die. Li is not a general who leads the army, and he has never really ruled political affairs in the DPRK, do you know how many people are needed to provide logistical support if you really want to mobilize an army of one million, and how much consumption is needed in the sky? Now that the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, I would like to know what the Qin State will feed these troops if it really mobilizes a million troops. If a million troops are really mobilized, what will happen to the autumn harvest of the Qin State this year, and let the grain rot in the land?"

Hearing Gao Yuan say this, Li Ru was a little dumbfounded, as Gao Yuan said, he was in the Qin State, and he didn't really enter the court to do a specific business, what he did was those lofty programmatic things, when it came to these mundane things, he really didn'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!" Li Ru naturally couldn't disarm just like that.

Gao Yuan nodded, "This, I naturally understand. However, the current Great Qin probably doesn't have the ability to break the cauldron, right, is your king's body okay? I wonder how long I can hold on, a month, two months?"

Gao Yuan stared at Li Ru's eyes tightly, but his words cut Li Ru's heart like a knife.

Li Ru's pupils contracted, the news that King Qin Wulie's condition deteriorated because of King Li Xin's defeat and Wang Jian's escape has always been the top secret of the Qin State, and the people who can know that King Qin Wulie has reached the last moment, except for a limited number of henchmen, no one knows at all, where did Gao Yuan get the news?

"You, how do you know?" Li Ru blurted out the words, so that Gao Yuan's body leaned back slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a smug smile, a gentleman can be bullied, an academic person like Li Ru, and ignore mundane things, for these little tricks, really can't be quiet, if it is Fan Sui to negotiate, I am afraid that Gao Yuan's temptation will not be able to get anything.

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

"You lied to me!" Li Ru was furious, his face was red and white, white and red, and he was also very well cultivated, so he didn't jump up and spit Gao Yuan.

"It's not a fraud!" Gao Yuan spread his hands, "I've been guessing that King Qin Wulie must not be able to support it for too long, Li everyone, do you want to know the reason why we think like this?"

"I want to hear about it!" Li Ru said angrily.

"Li Xin, although Wang Xiao was defeated, but the Qin army still held Shannan County, Lu Chao, Meng Tian still has more than 100,000 troops under his command, we and the Chu State are also fighting inextricably, the Qin army is not without the strength of a battle at this time, if the Qin State dares to fight, as long as in the Wei State, Yuyang and Yuyang, defeat our Han army head-on, it is not impossible to turn defeat into victory, but you are in a hurry to start withdrawing the army." Gao Yuan talked eloquently: "What is this for?"

Li Ru didn't make a sound.

"The biggest possibility is that there is something wrong within the Qin State, and even if this battle is possible, you will not be able to fight. But what could go wrong within the Qin State? The eldest prince was given to death, and Meng Tian, who had been uneasy about King Wulie of Qin, was transferred to the direction of Wei, and the 200,000 army was divided into two, and the 100,000 army left on the border of Qin and Chu was handed over to Zhou Yu. And Meng Tian, but at this critical moment, he was transferred back to Xianyang, and the army was handed over to Lu Chao, which is already very telling, and King Qin Wulie's control of the Qin court and army can be said to have risen to an unprecedented height, so it is unlikely that the Qin State itself will have unstable factors, and the only unstable thing is King Qin Wulie himself."

Looking at Gao Yuan, who was talking eloquently, Li Ru was shocked in his heart, from these affairs that could not be connected together, Gao Yuan could actually guess that there was something wrong with King Qin Wulie's body, and it was indeed a demon.

"And, to be honest, everyone Li, you are very knowledgeable, but negotiation is not your forte, if it is Fan Sui, it makes me feel more normal, but it is you Li family who came, which shows that Fan Sui can't get out at all, but apart from Fan Sui, Qin Guo really can't find any weighty people to negotiate with my Han now, and Li everyone has become a last resort. All of this made me come to the conclusion that King Qin Wulie's life would not be long in coming!" Gao Yuan looked at Li Ru: "So, everyone Li, the Qin State does have the ability to carry out a battle of national fortunes, but it is not something that the fourth prince Yingying, who is about to succeed to the throne, can accomplish, and now your biggest task should be to ensure a smooth transition of power, right?" That's why you're in a hurry to end the war."

Li Ru was silent for a while, and then nodded, "You're right."

"In this case, then everyone Li should understand that our two sides are not equal in this negotiation, so if Qin State can't show real sincerity, then the war will come unexpectedly, I believe that on the way you came, you have already learned from Lu Chao about the situation that Qin State is facing now, my Han Eastern Field Army, Northern Field Army, Central Field Army and Youth Guards Corps have been ready for battle. And in the court, the discussion on Qin's continued war has also been going on, and the Great Council will also discuss this in the near future, if everyone Li doesn't give me a good answer this time, I can't convince those big councilors to stop fighting against Qin in the Great Council, it's very simple, I need to take advantage to make them shut up."

"The Great Council?" Li Ru took a deep breath, "This is just an excuse for you, Dahan Kingdom, isn't it your decision?"

"Now I can naturally make a decision in the Great Han Kingdom, but the Great Council is something that I made out single-handedly, and I naturally will not personally break the rules of the game, so I will definitely resolutely support what the Great Council decides. If you are interested in this big council, we can discuss this thing in the future, and I have always been very happy to discuss academic issues with university scholars like Li Gao, and in my Jicheng Comprehensive University, which brings together most of the academic schools in the world, I will naturally welcome Li to come and exchange." Gao Yuan said with a smile. (To be continued......)
