Wanyan Agu frowned and said, "What? Do the military advisors also think that they are going to attack the city? But in the current situation, it doesn't seem like a good idea to siege the city. ”

Li Guoqiu said in a deep voice: "I understand the concerns of the big leader, it is indeed not a good idea to attack the city under the current situation, but in terms of timing, it is the best time. Yesterday we decided to attack eastward, and that was a last resort. But in fact, the big leader should also understand in his heart that if he wants to conquer the Great Zhou, he must capture Bianliang. Bianliang is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the capture of Bianliang is of decisive significance. If we attack the city all the way, but we can't capture Bianliang City, it is not enough to kill the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou. The capture of Bianliang is a heart-wrenching strategy, which will completely break the psychological defense line of the military and civilians of this huge country. I don't need to say much about the meaning of this. ”

Of course, Wanyan Agu Da understood what Li Guoqiu's words meant, fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, especially a huge country like the Great Zhou, a highly developed country with more than a hundred years of glory, the people are arrogant, and they will never submit to the small tribes in the north. They called the northern alien races, including the Jurchens, Yidi. The title itself carries contempt and arrogance.

Although they are rapidly declining, they are falling towards the abyss. But there is a good saying, the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and it is said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. With a vast territory and a population of hundreds of millions, how could the Great Zhou be conquered so easily. Therefore, if you want to conquer the Great Zhou, you can't rely on brute force. You have to crush the pride of the Great Zhou people first and shatter their self-esteem.

The other side of pride is inferiority, once the proud Great Zhou people are destroyed their self-esteem and pride, they will be closed and inferior. Defeating them psychologically and making them lose their hearts is the most clever means of conquest.

The previous Wanyan Agu didn't understand this, but since Li Guoqiu's arrival, he learned a lot from Li Guoqiu. These are all things that Li Guoqiu told Wanyan Aguda. Wanyan Aguda was originally a person with superior wisdom, and he knew everything thoroughly, and he quickly understood the key to this.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to find the seven inches of the Great Zhou, which is undoubtedly the capital that represents the highest status and majesty of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Taking Bianliang City is the primary goal. Not only that, after taking Bianliang, he also had to let Guo Chong, the emperor of the Great Zhou, bow down to him and humiliate the Great Zhou royal family. To make the subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty all over the world ashamed and landless, they all collapsed in their hearts. Let all the authority they respect collapse before their eyes, and let their Great Zhou Dream become a mirage. Only then will they face the reality, will give up their ridiculous pride, and understand that they are nothing but poor people under the iron hooves of the Jurchens.

"The double blow of force and psychology can destroy the inner self-esteem of those arrogant Han people and conquer the country. Once they are reduced to inferiority, the meanness in their humanity is exposed. The root of the inferiority of the Great Zhou people is selfishness, that is, there are a large number of people who will abandon their integrity in the face of interests and before the great pressure from the outside, and many of them will betray their country for survival and interests. The leaders of this group of people can call them 'traitors', or call them 'two dogs'"

The above passage is the original words spoken by Li Guoqiu and Wanyan Aguda. Wanyan Agu was surprised that Li Guoqiu's analysis of the human nature of the Great Zhou Dynasty was so meticulous and determined. Wanyan Aguda actually didn't know if what he said was completely correct, but Li Guoqiu was a Great Zhou person, and other people who knew the Great Zhou people more deeply than himself. Moreover, Li Guoqiu's words were categorical, as if he had experienced something, and his attitude made Wanyan Agu a little more convinced. Wanyan Aguda finally chose to believe Li Guoqiu's words.

However, having said that, although there was a consensus on the capture of Bianliang and the admission that this was the best time, Wanyan Agu and Li Guoqiu did not discuss any good way. Militarily, Wanyan Agu Da and Li Guoqiu are both rigorous, and they will never make some fantasies that are completely unrealistic, let alone have any luck mentality. Strength is everything, and in the current situation, I am afraid that there may not be a good result in attacking Bianliang.

The two were entangled, discussed until midnight, and put forward many plans, but they were finally overturned by the two one by one. Li Guoqiu, who was dizzy, got up and said goodbye, saying that after a good night's sleep, he would discuss the matter tomorrow when his mind was clearer, and maybe there would be a way. Wanyan Aguda was also groggy, so he nodded in agreement.

Just as the two of them were saying goodbye, suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the big tent. Wanyan Agu hurriedly inquired, but when he got the report, he said that he had caught a person from Bianliang City in the Great Zhou. The person who came claimed to be a messenger and wanted to see the great leader of Yan.

Wanyan Agu Da and Li Guoqiu were a little puzzled, why did the messenger from Bianliang City not come in the daytime, but chose to come secretly in the middle of the night. Maybe it's a detailed work that comes to spy on the virtual reality, or maybe there must be something hidden in it.

The person who came was pushed in by the five-flower tie-up, but it was a middle-aged man who looked like a scribe. At first glance, it is not an ordinary person. Sure enough, after the man entered the account, he shouted dissatisfiedly: "If the two armies do not fight and do not kill them, you Jurchens have no grace." I'm unarmed and I'm coming alone, what are you tying me up for? ”

Wanyan Agu waved his hand and ordered someone to loosen his tie, there was really no need for this. At first glance, this person in front of him is a pampered and weak person, and there is no need to be like a great enemy.

"Who are you? Who sent you? Wanyan Agu asked.

The man looked at Wanyan Agu Dao: "Are you the leader of Wanyan of the Jurchen clan?" ”

Wanyan Agu nodded and said, "It's me." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Sure enough, it is heroic, just like we imagined." The heroes of the world, the shape is magnificent, the instrument is magnificent, and it is extraordinary. ”

"Don't pat yourself on the back, what does the chief of my family ask you, who are you? Why did you come to my camp? Say it. Li Guoqiu said in a deep voice.

The messenger laughed, "I'm telling the truth, how can it be a sycophant?" My family Lu Xiang often cooks wine and talks about the heroes of the world, he said, the great leader of the Jurchen clan is a great hero who stands up to the heavens and the earth. My family's Lu Xiang's insight is not comparable to ordinary people. ”

"Your family Lu Xiang? Are you talking about Lu Zhongtian? Li Guoqiu frowned and asked.

"Exactly, how many Lu Xiang are there in this world? Naturally, it's my Lu Xiang of Da Zhou. Below is a follower beside Lu Xiang, whose surname is Liu, and the cursive character Zhenbang. The messenger nodded.

"Are you Liu Zhenbang? Liu Zhenbang, deputy minister of the Great Zhou? It turned out to be you? Wan Yan said in surprise.

"It's down there. How? Does the Great Leader know what's next? Liu Zhenbang was a little happy in his heart, when did he become so famous, even the Jurchen leader knew him.

Wanyan Agu laughed and said, "Of course I know you, aren't you the plenipotentiary envoy who negotiated peace with the Liao State?" Although I am not from Liao, I also know your original peace discussion. The name of Liu Zhenbang, the deputy prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has long been a household name in the north. ”

Liu Zhenbang's face turned red, although he was just following orders to discuss the matter with Liao, but the content of this peace agreement was scolded in Da Zhou, and his name of Liu Zhenbang's slave and servant knee also spread throughout Da Zhou, and he became a black pot. Liu Zhenbang was also very helpless, but he could only bear it, and he couldn't explain it to the world, all of this was Lu Xiang's idea. Fortunately, those people scolded and scolded, but they couldn't touch themselves. However, this matter was pointed out by Wanyan Agu in person, which was indeed a little embarrassing.

Wanyan Aguda didn't delve into this matter, and continued with a smile: "But I don't know why Lord Liu came to my army's barracks late at night? You know, your Great Zhou and we are fighting to the death, are you here to write a war letter? ”

Liu Zhenbang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The big leader misunderstood, he didn't come to provoke in the next, but in fact...... In fact, there is another purpose. ”

Wanyan Agu Avenue: "What purpose?" ”

Liu Zhenbang looked around and smacked his lips: "Can you hold back and leave the left, I hope to discuss this matter with the big leader alone." ”

Wanyan Agu nodded slightly, waved his hand and said to everyone in the tent: "You all stand down." ”

The guards bowed and withdrew, and Li Guoqiu sat still. Liu Zhenbang looked at Li Guoqiu, and stopped talking. Li Guoqiu frowned and got up and said, "That's it, I'll avoid it too." ”

Wanyan Agu waved his hand to stop it, and smiled at Liu Zhenbang: "Vice Minister Liu, this is Li Junshi of my Jurchen army, and he is also from your Great Zhou." I have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, there is nothing to hide, and you don't have to worry. ”

Liu Zhenbang nodded and said, "Since the big leader can be trusted, it's nothing." I just don't want today's discussion to make the city stormy and make a lot of trouble. To tell the truth, on the orders of Prime Minister Lu, I came here today to discuss with the big leader the matter of the two sides to stop the war. ”

"Strike and stop fighting? Hahaha, it turns out that you are here to negotiate peace. Wanyan Agu laughed and said, sure enough, the favorite of the Great Zhou people is to negotiate peace, even in this situation, the first thing they think of is to negotiate peace, and I don't know what they think in their hearts.

"It's a strike to stop the war, and it can't be said to be a peace. In the current situation, in fact, we don't have to beat around the bush. Although you have defeated our Great Zhou Northwest Army today, if you want to continue to attack Bianliang, I am afraid it will still be very difficult. There are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my Bianliang City, and although the soldiers and horses of the big leader are strong, they may not be able to break through Bianliang. The result of a death battle between the two sides was a defeat for both sides. My family Lu Xiang said that instead of fighting and losing both, why not settle the dispute and sit down to discuss it. The two spread their cards to each put forward their own requirements, and negotiated the terms, and everyone benefited. Why fight to the death? Liu Zhenbang said in a deep voice.

Wanyan Aguda nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Li Guoqiu, and saw that Li Guoqiu also nodded slightly, so he smiled and said: "There is some truth in what you said, but then, how do you Lu Xiang want to achieve the result of quelling the dispute?" ”
