Chapter 76: Reality is the Best Classroom
War is a continuation of politics, and it is true to say that.
No one fights for the sake of fighting.
The reason why we were able to fight a war was essentially to fight for population, land, peace, friendship, status, money, and so on.
The ultimate goal is to have a plan.
Now that the battle is almost over, it's time to talk about these crucial matters.
What's more, at present, the Qin army has limited food and grass, and the battle is difficult to continue.
Peace talks are an option. The question now is who raised it first.
Taking the initiative to negotiate means admitting defeat, and if Feng Rong takes the initiative to come over to negotiate with the Qin people, it will be their admission of defeat.
Although the matter is what it is, the order of order has a different meaning.
The Qin people were waiting for the day when Feng Rong took the initiative to negotiate.
Longshan Fengrong camp.
Fengrong Wang Zha and others, who fled back to the camp, were also restless, after all, tens of thousands of troops led by Yingkai were stationed on Longshan, like a fish in the throat, even if they couldn't die, it was very uncomfortable!
"Tell me, what are we going to do?" Zaza, who was sitting in the big tent, said helplessly.
The battle is over, and his own army is lost; If you fight again, you may still lose.
This time, the king of Gu Li was not so excited, and he didn't say a word obediently.
"Since everyone doesn't speak, then please talk to King Zuoxian." Zaza turned to Zuo Xian Wang beside him.
"In that case, then the old minister will say a few words." King Zuo Xian said: "After this battle, it must be clear to everyone that with our current strength, we still can't compete with the Qin people and the royal alliance. Now that the Qin army has cut off our connection with the south, you also know that our handicraft industry in Rongdi is very poor, and we need to buy it from the south for daily use. At present, the troops of the Qin and Zhou royal families are stationed in the south of Longshan, completely blocking our connection with the south. In the long run, it will be very unfavorable to us, so the old minister suggested that peace talks be held with the Qin people. ”
Peace talks?
While the Qin people were preparing for peace talks, Feng Rong also thought of this.
Fight a dozen, talk about it, this is the final outcome of all wars. After a long time, whether it is Qin Ren or Feng Rong, they will think of this.
"Peace talks?" When General Feng Rongyou heard this, he retorted: "For hundreds of years, we have never had peace talks with the Qin people, what the Qin people are is just an ant in our hands, and we can crush them to death whenever we want to." Now we actually want to talk to Qin Ren, which is obviously insulting my Fengrong ancestor. ”
It seems that the matter of peace talks is not only unwanted by the Qin people, but also by the Fengrong people.
As soon as the right general said this, the left bone Duhou also said: "I think the road of peace talks may not be easy, even if we are like this, the Qin people may not be willing." ”
Although this time the discussion was not as intense as the last time, King Zazha of Fengrong could still see that everyone was not so supportive of the peace talks.
Peace talks are actually a technical job, and most of the Fengrong nobles are rough people, and it is really difficult for them to do this kind of technical work.
"I can't fight and fight, and I don't want to talk about peace. So what do you think we should do? You must know that the Qin people are not here to play in Longshan, once they can't wait for our news, they will continue to advance northward, and when the Qin soldiers appear in front of us next time, it is estimated that we will not even have a chance to negotiate peace. The Right Virtuous King said.
Frighten.
You're scaring me.
The Fengrong nobles present were not frightened, as soon as they heard the words of King Youxian, some people immediately came out to oppose it.
"According to what you say, is it possible that the Qin people can still destroy us?" Left Gu Du Hou said unconvinced.
"It's hard to say, maybe people are here to destroy the country. You know, we can kill the leader of the family, and this enmity is deep. I also heard that Sima of the current Qin people is a young man with great leadership skills. Resourceful and capable, when he comes here with his troops in the next step, it will be difficult for you to run. The Right Virtuous King said.
"Hmph----, Yingkai, now the Sima of the Qin people is called Yingkai, and he is the youngest grandson of Qin Zhong. As long as we can slaughter this kid, the Qin people will lose their backbone, what do you think? King Zuo Gu Li said fiercely.
Kill Yingkai?
And this one?
As soon as King Zuo Gu Li's words came out, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
That's right! If we kill Yingkai, won't other things be solved?
At that time, the little Qin people counted something.
"Hmph, kill Yingkai, kill Sima who is in charge of the army, do you have water in your brain?" King Zazha of Fengrong almost laughed when he heard it. "I didn't defeat anyone on the battlefield, I returned to the camp, but I wanted to kill other people's Sima, why did you go on the battlefield in the first place, why didn't you kill him on the spot?"
As soon as Zaza said this, the others did not speak for the moment. It's okay to complain, but it's okay to really assassinate Yingkai and get over it.
It's better to think about how to get rid of the current difficulties.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zaza continued, "Since everyone can't say a better way, I think it's better to talk about peace talks. ”
Since ancient times, diplomacy and war have been inseparable. When the war could not be resolved, diplomacy was put on the agenda.
Peace talks?
Speaking of which, we have to talk peacefully, but since this is the case, everyone will not speak.
It's not that people don't want to express their opinions, but peace talks mean negotiations, they mean diplomacy.
Diplomacy is too difficult for anyone to do.
Faced with these courtiers who didn't ask much questions and couldn't speak, Zaza could only talk to King Zuo Xian, "Since everyone has no opinion, King Zuo Xian, let's talk about your thoughts." ”
"That's what the minister thinks. We returned the pastures that occupied the Qin people to the Qin people, and at the same time gave the Qin people another 5,000 cattle and sheep in exchange for the Qin people withdrawing their troops from Longshan. What do you think? King Zuo Xian finally stated his terms for peace talks.
Yes?
The ranch was originally exchanged for Qin Zhong's corpse by the Qin people, and now it has to be returned to others, and five thousand cattle and sheep have to be hitched?
After a battle, such an effect was achieved, and the Fengrong nobles present were stunned when they heard it.
"King Zuoxian, what are you talking about, not only do we have to return the pastures of Inuqiu to the Qin people, but also give them five thousand cattle and sheep for nothing. Do you think that our cattle and sheep have fallen from the sky? I could never agree to such a condition. As soon as Zuo Xianwang's voice fell, the Zuo Gu Duhou immediately objected.
"Yes, I can't agree to such conditions. If you want me to say that we only need to return the land of the dog mound that occupied the Qin people, why do we need to give them more cattle and sheep? Besides, it's winter now, and we don't have many cattle and sheep in the first place. If we give 5,000 heads to the Qin people, what will our people live on? The right valley king also said.
"The pasture at the source of a thousand rivers was originally owned by the Qin people, even if you don't give it to others, they will bring troops to occupy it. To tell you the truth, this is such a condition, and the Qin people may not agree to it. King Zuo Xian still patiently explained.
"If you don't agree, if they don't agree, they will fight, I don't believe that the Qin people can ask the royal family to help them, and we can also ask others to help us." The right general said.
To this day, Feng Rong also thought of asking someone to help.
