Zhao Chuan's words made Shang Yuan embarrassed for a while, and Lu Chen said: "The truce is not a matter of King Qing's casual words, Lord Shang, don't talk about things with any high-sounding truths, this king doesn't eat this." ”

"But Your Highness ......," Shang said urgently.

"Huh?" Lu Chen interrupted him and said: "As for the matter of Xunyang and Hengzhou, you have also seen it, the generals of our army have reacted quite a lot, and this king may have to think carefully about this matter." ”

Hearing this, Shang Yu had no choice but to say, "That...... How many days does it take for Your Highness to reply to your subordinates? ”

Lu Chen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Then it depends on how many days Your Excellency can wait." ”

After speaking, he also waved his hand at the sergeant and said, "Send Lord Shang back to the camp to rest." ”

"No!" The two sergeants answered, then stretched out their hands to Shang and said, "Lord Shang, please." ”

Seeing this, Shang Yu was helpless, so he could only salute Lu Chen and said, "Then retire first and wait for the good news from His Highness." ”

After he left, Zhao Chuan couldn't help but come to Lu Chen and asked, "King, do you really plan to return Xunyang and Hengzhou to Qingguo?" ”

"How is that possible!" Lu Chen said directly.

"Then why didn't the king directly send the green envoy away, why should this matter be considered." Zhao Chuan said again.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait for Sima Wen and see what he has to say." ”

In Lu Chen's heart, of course, he was unwilling to give up Xunyang and Hengzhou, and his attitude towards the Qing envoy was unclear, and it was precisely because he was waiting for Sima Wen's arrival, the latter was in a very anxious tone in the letter, and he had to take it to heart.

After two more days, Sima Wen finally arrived at the barracks.

He went all the way, and after he arrived at the camp, he didn't even have time to drink saliva, so he asked to see Lu Chen as soon as possible.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, after Sima Wen saw Lu Chen, he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Minister, Sima Wen, knock on my king." ”

"Hurry up." Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Sima Wen, you are in such a hurry, what is the matter?" ”

Sima Wen got up and said, "The king and the envoy have already finalized the matter between the two countries?" ”

"Not yet, just waiting for you." Lu Chen said.

Hearing this, Sima Wen couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then asked Lu Chen about the specific situation of the Qing envoy's visit.

Lu Chen told them one by one, and after Sima Wen listened to it, he said directly: "The king should agree to the request of the Qing envoy and give up Xunyang and Hengzhou." ”

"What did you say!?" When Lu Chen heard this, his brows furrowed.

And the other generals looked at each other, people thought that when Sima Wen came, he would have some high opinions, but he didn't expect that it was such words!

Zhao Chuan's nose was almost crooked, he stood up directly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Sima! Do you know what you're talking about! In order to capture Xunyang, Qingyang was alone and almost died! Our soldiers fought bloodily and fought fiercely with the enemy for three days and nights before they fought this city! If you say a word, let the king give up Xunyang!? ”

Hearing this, Sima Wen hurriedly said: "General Zhao don't be impatient, don't be impatient." ”

"Don't be impatient!" Zhao Chuan was furious, and his tone became unceremonious: "Sima Wen! You go to Xunyang City now! The city is closed, and there is the blood of our soldiers! ”

"This ......" was said by Zhao Chuan, Sima Wen was immediately choked, and he didn't know how to refute it.

Lu Chen was always frowning, he glanced at Zhao Chuan, and said with slight displeasure: "Let Sima Wen finish speaking." ”

"Humph!" Zhao Chuan glared at Sima Wen fiercely, and then stood back on the train.

He is such a character, of course Sima Wen understands it, and he doesn't take it to heart, but he arches his hand at Lu Chen and says: "King, King Qing wants to stop fighting, his decision is undoubtedly very stupid!" Because this is really undesirable for our country, and for Qingguo, they can continue to fight again! ”

As he spoke, he continued: "Dare to ask the king, if the king of Qingwang is determined to fight to the death with our country, can the king be sure to break through the Hanyu Pass and defeat the country?" ”

Lu Chen didn't speak, but thought deeply, Hanyu Pass is a dangerous and dangerous pass, and there are more horizontal guards, to break through this pass, it is not that the soldiers can be brave, it will inevitably be in a state of being unable to attack for a long time!

Seeing that Lu Chen was silent, Sima Wen said again: "And once Hanyu Pass cannot be breached, and Qingwang fights to the death with our country to the end, once the war lasts and lasts for a year, my country can still support it, but for two years, three years, when the time comes, my country will not have enough food and grass, and Qingguo's national strength will be strong, and my country can be dragged down!" ”

"Now the most deficient place in our country is that the national strength is not as good as Qingguo, and once the Yandi water conservancy is completed, the fertile land of the counties is improved, and the king will work hard to make the country stronger, and at that time, the world can be pacified by a war! It's not a battle between one city and one pool. ”

Lu Chen listened carefully.

Sima Wen looked around at Xiao Wang and the others for another week, and said: "Fight for a city, all the generals here have that ability, but to destroy the Qing Kingdom, with the current state of our country, it is simply impossible!" But Qingguo can drag us down in the time of war! This is the most critical point, and the king must see it clearly. ”

His words, everyone present was silent, but Zhao Chuan couldn't help but say: "Sima Wen, you keep persuading the king to give up Xunyang and Hengzhou, but at the beginning of Chudi Hanyang and Sanjiangkou, why didn't you persuade the king to give up!" ”

Hanyang and Sanjiangkou are strategic locations, and the state of Chu is completely different from the Qingguo. But Xunyang and Hengzhou, but not so important, give up these two places, for our country, will not lose anything at all, but in the future war, will have an unexpected effect, because then, we do not need to directly attack Hanyu Pass, but can choose to annihilate the living force of the Qing Army in Xunyang Hengzhou. Sima Wen said.

"You're saying it easy! But these two cities were exchanged for the blood of our soldiers and soldiers! Zhao Chuan still said angrily.

This is also the main reason why Lu Chen can't let go of it in his heart, the capture of the city is the result of the bloody battles of the soldiers, how can it be so easy to give up now!

He couldn't help but look at Sima Wen, and said quietly: "Yes, the soldiers of our army have spilled so much blood......

Hearing this, Sima Wen said urgently:

"The king, those who aspire to the world do not hesitate to take a city and a pool, and you, the king, are determined to be in the world, and you should give up to seek the overall situation! The two cities cannot decide who wins and who loses, but they can determine the future of the world! ”

This passage was said loudly, and it also made Lu Chen's eyes flash.
