Looking at the gradually whitening face of the Goguryeo envoy, Zhao Yi added another dose of fierce medicine: "Besides, acting like this is of great benefit to my Youzhou, the soldiers of the six states who wiped out all the Yi tribes in Liaodong can't stay in Youzhou for a long time, and after getting the property, they will leave here." However, the vast land of Liaodong was retained, and the official could use this to set up one or two more counties in addition to Liaodong County, so that the territory of Youzhou was expanded, and the worries about the future were also removed. ”

What Zhao Yi said is indeed good, if he really acts like this, the officials and soldiers of Youzhou do not need to be dispatched, and the nearly 600,000 soldiers in the six states will do this well.

Zhao Yiyue said that the more confident this messenger was in his heart, when he came before, this envoy was arrogant, but now he shrank into a ball like a quail, and he didn't even dare to let another hard fart go. originally thought that everything was under his control, but it was not until this time that he found out that it was not his own tribe that took Zhao Yi, but someone else Zhao Yi who took his own tribe.

"Your subordinate Jiwei led 30,000 soldiers to invade the land of my Youzhou, causing tens of thousands of deaths and injuries to the people of Youzhou. Is this still a bitter hatred? Zhao Yi snorted lightly.

When the envoy heard Zhao Yi's angry voice, his body shook twice unconsciously, and pleaded with Zhao Yi in a tone close to begging: "Your Excellency has a bad attitude towards your duties before, please don't care, if your Excellency has any conditions, as long as our ministry can satisfy your adult, I will do my best." ”

Zhao Yi is now very satisfied with the attitude of this envoy: "I want half of your tribe's property now, and the department must pay tribute to my Youzhou officials and soldiers every year for fifteen years." ”

"What?!" This messenger was ready for Zhao Yi to open his mouth widely, but he didn't expect Zhao Yi to open his mouth so much. It's not enough to ask for half of your tribe's money, but to pay tribute from your own tribe every year, it's really too deceitful!

"The conditions proposed by the lord are not the right to make decisions for the chief." The envoy smiled wryly, and secretly said that the conditions proposed by Zhao Yi were too high. The chiefs don't necessarily agree.

Zhao Yi nodded: "Okay, since your envoy can't make a decision for the leader of your department, this official will not force it, this official can let your envoy go back now, and after getting the consent of your leader, he will send troops to rescue him." ”

"This ......" The envoy's face showed an embarrassed expression, from the Goguryeo tribe to the Youzhou Mansion such a back and forth, even if it is to change horses along the way, it will take seven or eight days, what will happen in these seven or eight days, this envoy dare not imagine. It doesn't seem to be difficult for the Fuyu tribe to break through their own tribe in seven or eight days. If that's the case, then you're going to be a big sinner, and you're likely to become a great sinner in your own tribe.

When he entered Youzhou before, he had the intention to go directly to the tribe with the Youzhou officials and troops, if Zhao Yiti's conditions were lower, in order to gain time, this envoy would agree to let Zhao Yi personally lead the Youzhou officials and troops to aid the Goguryeo tribe, but now Zhao Yi's conditions are too high, so that the envoy does not dare to agree rashly.

Now the envoy has entered a dilemma, even if he tells the leader about this, I am afraid that the leader will not be able to make up his mind, if the two Yi tribes merge, Zhao Yi will invite the soldiers and horses of the six states to enter Youzhou, and in the face of nearly 600,000 soldiers of the official army, even if the Goguryeo and Fuyu tribes are all down, they will not be the opponents of these officials and soldiers. If Zhao Yi's conditions are agreed, then I am afraid that Goguryeo will not want to rise within fifty years.

"Can you please send troops first, now the battle situation is tense, our department will be destroyed overnight, if the rescue is late. I'm afraid that the Goguryeo tribe has been occupied by the Fuyu tribe. The envoy finally added, "As long as the lord is willing to send troops first, no matter what the relationship between you and me is, the humble post will definitely persuade the leader to give the officers and soldiers 20% of the property, I don't know what the lord wants?" ”

The conditions offered by this envoy are not low, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, the officials and soldiers can get benefits, Tai Shici and Dian Wei have already agreed to this envoy.

But Zhao Yi thought differently from Tai Shici, after listening to the envoy's conditions, Zhao Yi didn't even think about it, immediately waved his hand and shook his head, disagreeing with the envoy's words: "If your envoy really asks for help, please send the tribe's property to Liaodong County, this official has obtained a letter from the Liaodong County Guard, and he will personally lead the army to the Goguryeo tribe, and the official will write a personal letter to the Liaodong County Guard and the surrounding counties, if the property is transported to Liaodong County, then the soldiers of these counties can enter the Goguryeo tribe first, Relieve the siege of the Goguryeo tribe, so that it will not delay too much time, I don't know if your envoy can agree. ”

What Zhao Yi said was indeed feasible, the messenger nodded and agreed, and without further ado, after he said goodbye to Zhao Yi, he immediately went to the Goguryeo tribe.

In this negotiation, the envoy came here in a hurry, but left dejectedly. What made the messenger even more annoyed was that when he left, he asked Zhao Yi for a few horses to use as leg strength, but Zhao Yi picked out the decoration of nearly four hundred taels of silver.

This angry messenger didn't dare to send out in front of Zhao Yi, so he could only gather this resentment on the horsewhip, beat the horse fiercely and quickly left the Youzhou Mansion.

Seeing this envoy leaving the Youzhou Mansion, Zhao Yi immediately greeted Tai Shici and Dian Wei: "The two generals immediately went to the Youzhou camp to give an order, so that the soldiers were ready for battle. ”

"My lord, do you think Goguryeo will agree to our conditions?" Tai Shi Ci saw Zhao Yi's confident appearance, and felt a little strange in his heart, for Tai Shi Ci, Zhao Yi's conditions were too harsh, if Tai Shi Ci was the leader of the Goguryeo tribe, even if he fought with the officials and soldiers, he would not suffer this humiliation.

Those who have achieved great things since ancient times must not only be informal, but more importantly, they should be able to bend and stretch, and leave them to be useful for other big things, rather than rushing to the end with a blood spirit. The struggle between Chu and Han in the past is an excellent example, if the two characters are reversed, Xiang Yu drove Liu Bang to the bank of the Wujiang River, without the need for his subordinates to say, Liu Bang will think of a strategy to escape, instead of killing himself in the Wujiang River like Xiang Yu.

"Of course, the two generals don't look at what the envoy said just now, but since he entered the territory of Youzhou, it has already been explained that the Goguryeo leader wants to unite with us." Zhao Yi seemed full of confidence, "The leader of Goguryeo has now been forced to a Jedi, if he doesn't want to live a life of sending people under the fence and relying on people's snorts from now on, he can only choose to cooperate with our department." In other words, as long as the envoys of the Goguryeo Ministry enter Youzhou, the initiative is already in our hands. When he said this, Zhao Yixu grabbed his palm, looking like he was in control.

"The conditions mentioned by this official just now are a little higher, if you want thirty percent of the property, the envoy may not hesitate to agree. But now that it is the Goguryeo tribe begging us, we naturally want to raise the conditions high. Zhao Yi smiled, with the face of a profiteer, "Don't worry, the leader of Goguryeo will definitely agree to our request." ”

"My lord, there will be something unclear in the end." Without Zhao Yi's approval for questioning, Tai Shici had already said what he was thinking, "Since your lord has the ability to mobilize soldiers from the six states, then there is no need for us to negotiate peace with the Goguryeo tribe at all." It is not a problem to kill all the Goguryeo tribe and the Fuyu tribe and even the Liaodong County to the Dongyi tribe. "If Zhao Yi had used this method earlier, the Yi tribes around Youzhou would have been wiped out long ago, and where would there be any Yi invasion of Youzhou.

Hearing this, Zhao Yi smiled bitterly: "General, this is my words to coax the messenger, how can you take it seriously." These six state governors do have some personal relations with me, but they have not yet reached the point where they give up their land to defend my land in Youzhou. Now the situation in the imperial court seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, and these state ministers are now waiting and seeing, where will they lead their troops to help Youzhou. Even if all the soldiers and horses from the six states come to Youzhou, the food and accommodation of the soldiers, with the current situation in Youzhou, I am afraid that we will not be able to afford it. "Zhao Yi has already thought about this matter, and Zhao Yi can't mobilize the soldiers and horses of these six states at all.

However, if Jizhou Mu Zhu Jun and the Nanlou tribe and the Youzhou official army, these three forces join forces, there will be almost 300,000 troops, with this 300,000 army, specifically attacking Fuyu and the Goguryeo tribe, Zhao Yi also has a ninety percent chance of winning. However, Zhao Yi tried not to use this extreme method, because the casualties caused by that would would only be tens of thousands.

Tai Shici listened to Zhao Yi's words, admired his face, and secretly said that Lord Zhao's lying skills were really amazing, and he insisted on holding what he didn't have in his hands. Even Dian Wei and Tai Shi Ci, who had followed Zhao Yi for a long time, believed it, let alone the envoys of the Goguryeo tribe.

"This is exactly the skill of negotiation, that is, to hold ourselves high, to convince these people that we are not standing behind a Youzhou, but the entire Han Dynasty. Only in this way can we strive for the maximum benefit. Zhao Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said what he thought.

Tai Shici nodded, and said in his heart that he had learned another trick from Zhao Yi. I bowed down and went down to do things with Dian Wei.

Zhao Yi swayed back to the Youzhou Mansion and checked the terrain between the Goguryeo tribe and the Fuyu tribe to prepare for the future battle.

When looking at the terrain, Zhao Yi did not make a battle plan first, remembering that the terrain was just for the sake of easy observation and arrangement of soldiers in future battles. However, this kind of wilderness combat is different from urban warfare, and the plan cannot be made in advance, because there are so many things that affect the battle situation that it is impossible to make it in advance.

After having a general understanding of the terrain between the two departments, Zhao Yigang wanted to see the soldiers of Youzhou in the military camp.

Before he could reach the door, a soldier came in and reported, "My lord, the wife of the county guard, Zhao, said that there is an urgent matter to meet your lordship." ”

"Zhao?!" Zhao Yi showed a strange look in his eyes, and said in his heart, what is this Zhao family doing when he comes to me? But Zhao is Zhao Zhong's sister, and Zhao Yi can't refuse, so he has to send an order to the soldiers, "Please let her in." ”
