"According to General Hua's meaning, we are going to the Holy Lord to solve the problem this time, if we break into the palace, it will feel like an assassination, and it is easy to cause misunderstanding. When the time comes, even if you see the Holy One, it will be difficult to achieve your goal. ”

As for the matter of forcibly breaking into the palace, Huaxing has actually considered it.

In his view, although this method has the possibility of success, it is too risky in comparison, and the slightest carelessness will put everyone's lives at risk, which is not a good policy.

So in this matter, he agreed more with Wei Kuo and Tang Sheng's statement, and rejected Zhang Liao's proposal on the spot.

Seeing that everyone did not approve of his "hard break" plan, Zhang Liao had no choice but to rethink it.

I have to say that this guy's brain is spinning fast, but after two or three seconds, I saw Zhang Liao raise his forehead again and said his No. 2 plan:

"Then why don't we just find someone to write a letter to the saint, just say that there is something important to discuss, and then go to the palace to meet openly?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yun's objection was aroused:

"General Zhang, if the negotiations go well, then it's okay to say. But once the talks between the two parties collapse, and we are trapped in the enemy camp, aren't you afraid that the Holy Lord will cut us all down? ”

After shaking his head worriedly, he listened to Zhao Yun continue:

"To put it mildly, we not only forcibly occupied the mineral veins of the Han family, but also drove away the army sent by others, and the saint must not be happy in his heart. If the negotiation fails, do you think he will let us go easily? ”

"Even if it's not happy, then you can't directly kill it, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao argued with an unconvinced face:

"As the saying goes, two countries do not fight each other. Let's negotiate, if the court disposes of it like this, isn't it afraid of damage to its reputation? ”

"Hehe, what's so hard to keep your reputation? They only need to frame you and me for assassinating you afterwards, isn't everything justified? Anyway, we were all dead at that time, and it was impossible for a dead man to open his mouth to argue. ”

Hearing Zhao Yun say this, although Zhang Liao was unwilling, he still closed his mouth stupidly.

Because he knows that the other party's worries do exist, and his second plan is still flawed.

"Then let's just do this, let's not go to the palace, and make an appointment with each other to meet in a relatively fair place, and neither side is allowed to bring troops. That's fine, right? ”

In Zhang Liao's view, the No. 3 plan he proposed can be said to be flawless, and there is almost no risk to be found. So as soon as he finished speaking, a look of pride flashed on his face.

Tang Sheng, who was sitting on the side, didn't buy it, and said with a grin on the spot:

"General Zhang, your idea is indeed great, but please think about it carefully, can the other party agree to our conditions? Isn't it a little whimsical that you ask for this? What qualifications do we have to ask the Holy Lord to leave the palace for a meeting? ”

After a series of rhetorical questions, I heard Tang Sheng say it for the second time:

"Take a step back and say, even if the Holy Lord intends to meet, do you think that the group of civil servants and military generals around him dare to let him come alone? Not to mention anything else, when he goes out to worship the sky on weekdays, he has to bring thousands of guards, but this time he went out to negotiate but he didn't let a single soldier with him, how could this be possible? Therefore, in the eyes of the last general, although this method is good, the other party will never agree to it. ”

I have to say that Tang Sheng's concerns do exist.

Although Huaxing has a good reputation, to put it bluntly, in terms of strength, he is at most a big thief at this moment, and he is not even a real monarch.

In terms of identity alone, he is not qualified to ask the emperor to go out of the palace to meet.

In addition, because of the ore vein, the two sides have already formed a bond.

Both the ministers of the DPRK and China and Liu Xie himself were wary of Huaxing.

Therefore, it is simply a fantasy to let Liu Xie go out of the palace to meet without a single soldier.

Seeing that he had been planning for a long time, but there was no feasible plan, Zhang Liao was very frustrated, and sighed while shaking his head:

"Alas! How's that good? You can't get in, and you won't get out. Could it be that we really won't be able to see the saints? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience looked embarrassed, and obviously there was no good solution.

After half a minute, I saw Lu Lingqi, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly had a light in her eyes, and seemed to think of something:

"Huh? By the way, what time is it today? ”

"Today is the fourth day of the first month of January, has Lin Hujun thought of any ideas?" Tang Sheng said curiously.

"Hmmm! If memory serves, the Holy One goes out for winter hunting in January every year. Can we take the opportunity to meet him by chance? ”

Winter hunting is an ancient custom, which means going out to hunt in winter.

This event is not only a way to exercise the body, but also to improve martial arts, and also to promote the relationship between the monarch and the court, and it is regularly held by the imperial court every year.

If you can meet with the emperor during this period, the risk will definitely be much smaller than entering the palace to meet, and the success rate of the negotiation will be greatly increased, which is indeed a good idea!

"Well, that's right!"

Hearing Lu Lingqi mention the winter hunt, Wei Kuo, who was on duty in Luoyang, was the first to reply:

"Winter hunting is usually done in late January. Last year, I was fortunate enough to go to the hunting ground with the army and witnessed the hunting process of Sheng Shang and Dong Taishi. ”

Hua Xing, who was sitting in the middle, immediately flashed a flash of excitement in his eyes after listening to the words of the two.

While nodding approvingly, he couldn't wait to ask:

"Wei Hujun, do you remember the specific time they traveled?"

"Well, it seems to be January 24 and 5, I remember that it was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and I should be able to determine it by looking up the yellow calendar."

"And how many soldiers did they bring with them?"

"Because the hunting ground is very close to Luoyang, we only brought 1,000 guards last year. Whether it will be the same this year, I don't know. ”

"Well, a thousand soldiers......"

After bowing his head and muttering for a long time, he heard Huaxing ask again:

"By the way, in Luoyang City, you still have a lot of comrades-in-arms, right? Is there a way to find out the situation of this year's winter hunting? ”

"That's fine!" Wei Kuo replied confidently:

"Although I am gone, there are many brothers who are still on duty in the city, and they must know what to expect this year. If the general needs it, I will go to Luoyang today to investigate! ”

"Good! Then I'll leave this matter to Brother Wei, I'll wait in the village for good news! ”

……

Luoyuan Village is only a day's journey from Luoyang, and Wei Kuo set off in the morning and arrived at his destination in the evening.

After resting for the night at Mi Zheng's residence, he began his investigation early the next morning.

Although Wei Kuo was only a small general defending the city, because of his pure character and integrity, he made a lot of friends in the army, and soon found out a lot of news.

In addition, winter hunting was not a confidential matter, so it was only one day, Wei Kuo asked the specific situation clearly, and rushed back to Luoyuan Village early in the morning of the third day.
