Chapter 335
Zou Ji snorted angrily on the surface, but in his heart, he was thinking about it.
Indeed, as the military envoy of Cangguo said, these soldiers under his command have already been quite critical of him, and some of those who are openly opposed have also been removed from their posts by him for various reasons.
After King Xing ascended the throne, as long as he issued an edict to remove him from the right to command, I am afraid that the first to cut him down will be those soldiers full of resentment.
On the contrary, King Ning is a good choice, not only because the two have had a relationship with wine and meat in the past, but more importantly, with the support of the Cangguo and the coalition army, King Ning can talk to the countries.
This kind of support will be transformed into an extremely strong court power, and once the two parties compete for the throne, it can become a very powerful bargaining chip.
For example, if the Jin Kingdom wanted to negotiate, then it must be obedient to the will of the countries, and King Ning became a bridge of communication between the two sides.
"How about it, has the general thought about it, the envoy will go back in a hurry to restore his life, so he won't stay in this camp for a long time."
"This ...... This matter is very important, and the general will have to discuss a thing or two with his subordinates. ”
"Confidant...... Hehe, with all due respect, the general still has henchmen in this army? Those who have been promoted are just some generals who tend to be inflammatory, and if the generals are moved by emotion and reason, and persuaded by their official position and status, are they still afraid that they will not succeed? ”
Hearing this, Zou Ji was silent.
The so-called discussion with his subordinates is just his excuse, and the real reason is that he can't make up his mind.
"Your country, can you ensure that King Ning can ascend to the great treasure?"
"Yes. I, Cangguo, only discuss the affairs of the kingdom with King Ning. ”
"If it fails......
"If the matter is defeated, the general can set himself up as the king and ascend the throne in a place in the Jin Dynasty, and I will be the first to admit it."
"Really?!"
Zou Ji changed color in shock and jumped up from his chair.
"Does the General have any other choice? With all due respect, now I can only trust my Da Cang, I heard that the general knows a lot about my Da Cang, and those kings who destroy the country can tolerate it, will they still deceive you as a general? ”
Zou Ji nodded, slightly excited, and immediately made up his mind: "...... Good! The general agreed, and immediately ordered to be loyal to King Ning! ”
"Refreshing! So and so he went back, and when the general announced this, I would have a response. ”
"Your envoy walks slowly."
……
On the fifth day of the ninth month, Zou Ji led a large army, assembled outside the camp, and announced that he would lead the army north to King Qin and be loyal to King Ning.
On the sixth day of the ninth month, Cangguo announced that it had received a peace letter from King Ning of Jin, and at the same time announced that it would consider an armistice as appropriate.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the news spread quickly.
The reactions of various countries were different, and the states of Chu, Yun, Kang, Mang, Cao, and Lan were all very supportive, and began to think about peace.
The two countries, Wei and Ruan, did not express their position.
Judging from the results of the war, the Four-Nation Alliance has been blocked in the area of Chenbuguan, and there is very little land laid in this battle, if the battle of the Jin Dynasty ends, in addition to disintegrating the hegemony of the Jin State, the benefits obtained are very limited, or it is impossible to maximize the benefits.
It stands to reason that they should be opposed.
But why is there silence and not a statement?
It's really a shame to see that the Three Kingdoms Alliance led by Cangguo has captured Jincheng, and on his side, he is still blocked from many passes, and there is no huge victory, which is really embarrassing, and he is embarrassed to say that he is unwilling to stop fighting.
Besides, they also knew the situation of the friendly army, and they were stuck in Jincheng, where food and grass were scarce, and they were facing the danger of being besieged by King Qin's army and cut off the back road at any time, and a truce was the safest way at this time.
The general trend is indisputable.
also understands that the general trend is inviolable, as well as King Xing.
At the beginning, being able to participate in the struggle for the throne proved that he was also extraordinary.
He is well aware of the current war-weariness of the population at home.
Therefore, when King Ning announced that he was going to negotiate peace with the coalition forces, he also released his willingness to negotiate peace.
On September 16, Zou Ji and his army of nearly 700,000 completely withdrew from the country.
On September 17, Emperor Che announced his surrender.
On September 19, the Blue Dragon Legion entered Che Guo and took over the 300,000 troops of Che State, and at the same time announced the edict of the Cangguo Imperial Court, which did not offend the property of the nobles and people in Che Country, and at the same time ensured the safety of the royal family, and would not hold the 300,000 Che Guo troops responsible.
When the news came out, the nations were shaken.
No one expected that in this battle of Raiding Jin, the first to perish was the Che Kingdom.
Although Che is a small country, but its geographical location is very important, not only has the Pushui this moat, but also can go directly to the land of Wangji, since it has surrendered to Cangguo, then it also means that the army of Cangguo can enter Wangji.
This news made Hua Wenqi very passive.
He understands a truth very well, in the current wave of peace in the Jin Dynasty, the land of Wangji will never be able to be saved.
It is better to directly transfer the army within Wang Ji to the king of Guoqin, which is better.
On September 26, Warwin made a very important decision.
At the same time, he invited Wei Zhongquan, the generalissimo of the Blue Dragon Legion, and Qu Guan, the general of the Chu State, to negotiate matters in Wangji Kyoto.
This move is really a heart-wrenching move.
As we all know, after the rebellion of Wu State, Mang State withdrew from the battle in Wangji, and after the defeat of the Chu army, it mobilized the strength of the whole country and once again transferred a large army into Wangji to fight, and now the strength is about 500,000.
In other words, only Chu and Cang have completed the layout of this large piece of land in Wangji and have the ability to compete.
Wavinch invited the commanders of the two countries to meet at the same time, which was deliberately done so that the two countries would compete for territory.
As he thought, Qu Guan and Wei Zhongquan had a very unpleasant quarrel, although it was not to the point of saber rattling, but no one gave in half a step.
Thus, the development of the matter once again returned to the original point of the problem - to negotiate peace.
……
Yang Mu, who learned the news from the front line, was speechless for a long time.
Sure enough, that sentence is right, war is the continuation of politics, although there is no word "politics" in this world, but there is a very broad alternative - diplomatic relations.
This battle, fought and fought, had to be concluded by the state in the end.
Negotiations, this must be discussed.
But who should I talk to?
Cangguo, Chu, Kang, and Yun, the four countries that sent troops, demanded that King Ning be enthroned and participate in negotiations on behalf of Jin.
The states of Ruan and Wei supported King Xing's accession to the throne and negotiated on behalf of the Jin state.
Lan State, Cao State, and Mang State have not expressed their position, because no matter which of these two ascends to the throne of the Jin State, there is no difference in the interests of their two countries.
"So, there's no need to talk about it, right?"
Yang Mu pinched the letter of the Empress Ruan Guo and muttered, his fists clenched.
In this letter, the Empress Ruan Guo's attitude was very tough, and she even coerced her with the withdrawal of troops, asking Yang Mu to take into account the overall situation and let King Xing ascend the throne smoothly.
However, how could Yang Mu agree to this?
"Your Majesty, why are you so angry, what does it matter who these two are the emperors."
On the side, Miao Xi's slender hand reached over, and she was relieved while pinching Yang Mu's shoulder.
"Go, a woman knows something. The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, even if the Jin State loses the position of overlord, it is still a big country, if King Xing is allowed to ascend the throne, it will fall to the side of the Ruan State in the future, isn't it for the Cangguo to erect a big enemy? ”
"It's so serious......
"Of course." Yang Mu was very serious and said: "You have always been by my side, and you should also know that I often use allusions from ancient times to talk about things, saying that in that period, because of a peninsula, the two major forces at that time competed, in order to be the strategic pattern in the next hundred years, which was a very important move." ”
"Since Emperor Ruan wants to withdraw his troops, let her withdraw well, and there will be no less of them."
"I can't say that, once the Ruan State withdraws its troops, there will be no pressure on the western border of the Jin State, so how can the alliance forces of the Three Kingdoms deal with themselves?"
"That ......"
"Okay, you don't need to know so much, give me a good backbeat, and I'll reward you with a full meal in the evening." ()
