Chapter 446: He's Already Here
When Gao Wei and Han Changluan returned to the court, looking at this group of dazed ministers, they announced in public that Emperor Gao Wei had decided to agree to a truce and peace talks with Xiao Yao, the Xuzhou assassin of Chen State!
Before the ministers had time to express any opinions, Gao Wei continued to tell them that the Qi State was going to invite Xiao Yao to come to Yecheng in person for armistice and peace talks, and this news was like throwing a bomb among the ministers, making the entire court explode!
The ministers all let out bursts of exclamations, and some ministers nodded in agreement, after all, about the letter of suggestion sent by Xiao Yao about the armistice and peace talks, these ministers have also been arguing for many days, but because Emperor Gao Wei did not express his position, the ministers did not dare to make a decision, and could only argue aimlessly every day!
But more ministers have said that this is an impossible decision, because what kind of place is Yecheng, this is the capital of Qi State, and the most heavily guarded place of Qi State! And Xiao Yao has just defeated the army of Qi, not only captured the entire Xuzhou, but also slaughtered and captured many Qi soldiers, now Xiao Yao is a demon from hell in the minds of the people of Qi, and the people are eager to eat Xiao Yao alive, so no matter whether Xiao Yao's truce proposal is true or not, he will not risk coming to Yecheng to negotiate with Qi!
Gao Wei and Han Changluan first looked at the ministers' argument with disdain, and when they were almost arguing, Gao Wei said proudly: "Although your words are very reasonable, Xiao Yao agreed to my request!" ”
"What? Xiao Yao agreed to come to Yecheng? When did this happen? The ministers were stunned for a moment, and then they figured it out, it turned out that the eunuch just now said that the Han messenger had something important to tell His Majesty, and this was what he was talking about!
Although they all knew that Gao Wei had sent a team of messengers to Xuzhou a few days ago, they just thought that Gao Wei just wanted to confirm the authenticity of the proposal of armistice and peace talks with Xiao Yao, so they didn't expect that Gao Wei would directly ask Xiao Yao to ask him to come to Yecheng in person to negotiate, and unexpectedly, Xiao Yao actually agreed!
"Your Majesty, that Xiao Shilang has really agreed to Your Majesty's request, will he come to Yecheng in person and have an armistice and peace talks with us? Could this be some conspiracy of Xiao Shilang? After all, this Xiao Shilang is notoriously insidious and cunning, maybe he is pretending to agree to His Majesty's request first and let us let down our vigilance, but in fact, he is carrying out some kind of conspiracy against us behind our back! A minister reminded.
"Haha, God bless us! If this Xiao Shilang really dares to come to Yecheng in person, then we can take this God-given opportunity to take down this Xiao Shilang in one fell swoop and kill him, so as to comfort our souls of the Great Qi soldiers who were killed by him! One of the ministers said excitedly.
"That's right! Although this Xiao Shilang is young, he is already the first fierce general of the Chen State, and he will definitely become a big disaster for our Qi Country in the future! You must know that they besieged Xuzhou with tens of thousands of troops before, and there were veterans like Lu Guangda in charge, but they still couldn't break through Xuzhou, and in the end they were killed by the King of Lanling and the soldiers of Daqi and fled, leaving the heads of tens of thousands of southern barbarians! But since the end of last year, this Xiao Yao suddenly led his forward brigade to attack Xuzhou, our Daqi army was defeated, and finally the king of Lanling wanted to abandon the city and flee, and he was also scared that Zu Yan, a disloyal and unrighteous coward, surrendered the city, so that Xiao Yao's soldiers occupied Northern Xuzhou bloodlessly! This is really a great shame for our Qi country, so we must kill Xiao Shilang in order to be ashamed and revive the national prestige of our Great Qi! Another minister seconded.
"But the two countries are fighting, and they don't cut it! This Xiao Shilang took the initiative to propose an armistice and peace talks with us, and he dared to come to the capital of our Qi country in person, which is enough to see their sincerity in armistice! If we kill him and kill him during the negotiations, not to mention that it will affect the reputation of our Great Qi, so that the world thinks that our Qi State is a sinister villain who has no faith in his words and hurts people with secret arrows, and if we suddenly kill Xiao Yao, this will definitely cause the whole country of Chen Guo to be angry, after all, you just said that Xiao Shilang is now the first fierce general of Chen State, then Chen Guo will definitely fight hard against our Qi country, and the mourning soldiers will win, and our Qi country will definitely fall into a bitter battle! Maybe Chen Guo will also join forces with Zhou State to send troops and attack our Qi State at the same time, then our Qi State will be in danger of being wiped out! One minister retorted.
"As long as Xiao Shilang dies, Chen Guo has nothing to fear! Since Taizu led the troops, the army in the south has not been the opponent of our Qi State, and the reason why Chen State has been so arrogant in the past two years and has taken away the land of Huainan and Huaibei is because they suddenly came out of this Xiao Shilang! If it weren't for Xiao Shilang, you see, their so-called Grand Governor Wu Mingche would still be guarding Shouyang City and would not dare to attack our Yingchuan Town! As for the Zhou State, we have just signed an armistice peace treaty with the Zhou State, and Yuwen Yong has just regained power from Yuwen Hu, and is now busy stabilizing the situation in their country, so they will not join forces with Chen State at all and attack our Qi State together! The minister said confidently.
"We just killed Xiao Yao, but his Megatron Forward Brigade was unscathed, are you sure that this Forward Brigade is just without Xiao Yao's command, our army can withstand their amazing muskets and artillery, and can defeat them in one fell swoop? As for the Zhou side, although we signed an armistice peace treaty with them, but what, aren't we also preparing to kill their generals when we sign a peace treaty with Chen State? In the face of interests, the so-called armistice and peace treaty is a piece of waste paper! You must know that Zhou and our Qi are feuding, the reason why Zhou signed that armistice and peace treaty with us is also to stabilize the current situation in their country, I believe that when this Yu Wenyong consolidates his power, he will definitely ignore the armistice and continue to attack us! Therefore, as long as Chen Guoxu gives Zhou Guo some benefits, Zhou Guo will definitely send troops with Chen Guo and join forces to attack our Qi State, then at that time, we will be invincible with both fists and four hands, and we will definitely fall into the danger of losing the country! The minister said excitedly.
Seeing the ministers arguing again, Gao Wei seemed very calm this time, and he sneered on his face, watching these ministers who were constantly arguing: fortunately, he didn't tell them about Xiao Yao's coming to Yecheng in advance, otherwise these ministers would definitely do something in secret to sabotage this peace talk!
Finally, Gao Wei smashed the table with great force, and with a "bang", the ministers of the entire court were instantly quiet, and Gao Wei sneered: "What else will you do except quarrel!" Before, Xiao Yao took the initiative to propose an armistice and peace talks to us, and you were arguing that this is a trap and a conspiracy! Now Xiao Yao has agreed to my request and personally come to Yecheng to continue peace talks with us, fully demonstrating their sincerity, and you are arguing again, and you are saying that you will take the opportunity to kill him! Is that why you like to fight so much? Or I will send you to the front line and let you fight with Chen Guo! ”
"But now our top priority is not to discuss how to deal with Xiao Yao, but to discuss how to meet him! Because Xiao Yao has already come to Yecheng! Waiting outside the city to welcome him into the city! "Gao Wei dropped another bombshell!
