168 To each his own need

"On the terms, you really don't think about it anymore?"

"Don't think about it!"

"You don't have to think about it, but I do."

Li Ling suddenly changed his words, and it was clear that he was going to drag it all the time.

"Does the Master have to see the lives of the two countries in misery? The world says that the master is a saint, and he is willing to turn his face and retire with the king of Qin for the sake of slaughtering the city, but he didn't expect everything to be fake, the real master, hehe, I'm afraid he is not worthy of the master who called this envoy! ”

In the eyes of this Korean envoy, what people like Li Ling value most is, of course, reputation!

Haven't you been procrastinating, I'll give you a big hat that doesn't care about the life and death of the people, I see how you drag it out.

Seeing that Li Ling's face suddenly became a little angry, the envoy was overjoyed in his heart, and his strategy was right.

"I heard that there is a person named Han Fei in your South Korea, who studied under Xunzi, oh, by the way, Li Si, it seems that he is still your classmate?"

"Exactly, Han Fei has some friendship with me, but I heard that he is not valued by King Han."

Hearing Li Ling mention Han Fei, Li Si was a little puzzled, Li Ling had mentioned this person a long time ago, and even hoped that Li Si would bring Han Fei to Qin State, but for some reason, Li Si never did it.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Li Ling still hasn't forgotten.

"Not reused? I have read his book of Loneliness and Indignation, and his words are sharp and far-sighted, how can such a person not be reused? ”

"Master doesn't know much about me as a classmate, that's why he thinks so. Although he writes well, he has a perverse personality and stuttering, and he can kill people in a hurry if he says it for a long time. It's okay to read his books, but if you really want to talk to him, it's just looking for guilt. ”

"Oh, no wonder. In that case, then there is no need for me to see him, I thought he was a master. ”

Where does that begin? Han Feizi is a genius and the most important adviser in my Korea, but he is not greedy for fame and fortune, so he doesn't want to be an official! ”

Listening to Li Ling and Li Si talking about Han Fei for a long time, he found out that it was Li Ling who wanted to see Han Fei, although this South Korean envoy only had some personal relations with Han Fei, Han Fei was not treated well in South Korea at all, and Han Wangan sneered at him, but how could he let go of this opportunity?

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, although Han Fei has a stuttering problem, my king still relies on him very much, besides, what about stuttering? Is it difficult to conclude that his vision is not good because of his stuttering? Besides, stuttering doesn't take much time, and it's a big deal to write! ”

South Korea's special envoy Lian Zhucang generally said a lot of good things for Han Fei, for fear that Li Ling would change his mind because of Li Si's words.

"Well, that's it, you go back now and tell King Han that I want to talk to Han Fei, unless he comes, I will definitely not mention the matter of boycotting the army!"

"That's not going to work!"

"Why not? It's hard to say that Han Fei is not as you said? ”

"No, no, no, it's just that Han Fei's status in my Korea is too high, and the envoy is under the carte blanche of my king, if the envoy goes back now and invites Han Fei to come, and the master here is unwilling to stop the army, wouldn't it still be bad for the master's reputation? For the sake of the master's reputation, and for the sake of the people of Qin and Han, I also ask the master to strike first! ”

"How is this possible! If I ordered the troops to be dismissed, and you didn't invite Han Fei over, wouldn't I be at a loss! No, absolutely not! ”

"If the master can make peace talks with the envoy first, the envoy will not only ensure that the master can see Han Fei, but the envoy is also willing to personally advise our king to let Han Fei serve as the envoy and escort slaves, horses, etc. to Xianyang! At that time, the master can naturally talk with Han Fei about wine. ”

"Is that true?"

"Seriously! These can be written on the national letters of the two countries as a condition, but is the master afraid that my king will not recognize it? ”

Finally, after spending half a day, the two sides really sat down at the negotiating table, but the process of the negotiation has undergone subtle changes.

Originally, Li Ling wanted to drag it out, and this South Korean envoy wanted to end the war as soon as possible because he knew that the main force of the Qin army had launched an attack, but when he knew that Li Ling cared about reputation very much, and at the same time was very eager to see Han Fei, he obviously had some chips in his hands.

The tug-of-war at the negotiating table lasted from morning to evening, and both sides were contentious.

The most divisive point of this is the final demarcation of the border.

Li Ling initially demanded that the area reached by the vanguard of the Qin army be extended to another 30 li, and at the same time, no garrisons were allowed to be allowed within 15 li on each side of this boundary.

And the South Korean side's demand is to recover all the land occupied by the Qin army, so of course Li Ling is not willing.

The South Korean envoy realized that if it continued like this, he was afraid that South Korea would lose more land, and he knew that he had to end the war immediately.

Therefore, he directly added a clause, he would persuade the king of Han to allow Han Fei to stay in Qin for a while, but the Qin army must retreat eighty li from the existing occupied area, and at the same time set up a demilitarized zone of fifteen li each.

Faced with such a proposal, Li Ling finally moved, but he still fought for a while.

When the letter of state was actually signed, the content became that South Korea compensated Qin with 150,000 gold as military expenses, 5,000 slaves and 5,000 men and women, 10,000 war horses, and Han Fei was responsible for the transportation of specific materials, and he set off within a month, and Han Fei should stay in Xianyang for at least one month after arriving in Xianyang. The border demarcation between the two sides began at the position where the vanguard of the Qin army (non-scouts) arrived, and the line of actual control between the two sides was drawn as the line of actual control of the two sides, and a demilitarized zone of 15 miles was set up for each side.

"Li Si, you quickly send someone to inform Wang Jian and order him to stop the attack immediately, and at the same time quickly notify the vanguard troops, no longer move forward, stay in place, and wait for the two sides to send personnel to survey and demarcate the border!"

"The master is really happy, since this is the case, the envoy also returned to Xinzheng immediately, and quickly asked my king to stamp the national seal and prepare money, so that he could set off as soon as possible, so that the master could see Han Fei as soon as possible."

Both sides take what they need, and they are satisfied.

"Then it's troublesome for the envoy, please be sure to inform Han Fei, I just admire him, I hope he can live in Xianyang for a while longer, and please don't blame me."

"Please rest assured, Master, this envoy will definitely bring Master's heartfelt words."

"Well, then you should hurry up and go."

......

Seeing that the South Korean envoy was impatient to return to Xinzheng to ask for credit, the corners of Li Ling's mouth turned up slightly, is this really taking what everyone needs?
