Of course, Liu Jian had already expected Du Chong's reaction, and even he was very surprised when he first learned that the person who led the troops to attack Tongguan was actually a farmer.

After a pause, he continued: "The farmer...... It seems to be called Wei Ziyang. ”

When Du Chong heard this, he showed a thoughtful look, and waited for a while before he said slowly: "This person is really a bold and reckless person. ”

"That Heishui Mountain is so dangerous and abnormal that ordinary people don't want to say that they have climbed over that mountain, even if they climb it, they only feel very depressed, and they are afraid that they will be scared and flee." That Du Chong arched his hand to Liu Jian, and said respectfully.

Liu Jian heard this, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued: "Then tell me, what should I do now in Daqin?" ”

His dark eyes were staring at the two Du Chong, his face was calm, this face looked ordinary, but from this kind of face, no one could see his thoughts.

When Du Chong heard this, he frowned: "The current situation is very unfavorable to my Great Qin. After finishing speaking, his eyelids jumped, and he picked up the teapot on the table like Liu Jian, took a sip, and then continued:

"Now, the Wei people have taken Tongguan, and they are bound to be able to come out of Tongguan and pass through Hangu Pass directly to Hangu Pass.

Liu Jian heard this and didn't make a sound, but Wen Shangshu, who was sitting on the side just now, couldn't sit still, hurriedly got up, and asked in a panic: "Ah, what about that....... So, what should I do with Daqin? ”

Du Chong glanced at him lightly, and did not reply immediately, and finally arched his hand to Liu Jian after half a ring: "For today's plan, the best way is only two words." ”

"What's the plan?" Liu Jian smiled, leaned on the soft collapse, looked at Du Chong calmly with a pair of eyes, and asked in a faint voice.

"Please!" Seeing Liu Jian like this, Du Chong did not have any panic, and then said lightly.

"Ah, I want Daqin to ask the Wei people, ...... Sum, this ....... I'm afraid that's not right. Hearing Du Chong's words, Wen Shangshu couldn't help but exclaim, and asked Du Chong is mouth.

Although the Qin State and the Wei State are adjacent to each other, but from the bones, the Qin people look down on the Wei people, because the Wei Emperor Yang Rang implemented the policy of reckless military force, and also made a "strong military order" to come out, and even allowed the people to fight openly throughout the country, which is the rule that a big country should have, and which is the behavior of an emperor.

Therefore, in private, the people of the Qin State ridiculed the Wei people as "barbarians" and called the Wei army the Wei barbarians.

Du Chong heard the doubts of Wen Shangshu, turned his head to look at Wen Shangshu, there was an indiscernible depth in his dark eyes, he paused, and said to Wen Shangshu: "Wen Shangshu, if you don't want Hanguguan to be lost, it is the best way to reach a peace agreement with Wei." ”

"But, this ....... This war has just begun, and in a few days, this ...... This is asking for peace with the Wei State, won't it make the whole world laugh at our Great Qin? That Wen Shangshu hesitated for a while before confiding the thoughts in his heart to this Du Chong.

Indeed, this war only started less than five days ago, and he immediately sued for peace with the enemy, if this really spread, it will definitely become a big joke in the history of his Western Qin, and in the future, maybe those literati and rioters will write to satirize him in Western Qin.

Of course, Du Chong also knew that this Wen Shangshu's idea was not a matter of face, and he frowned slightly: "If you really don't ask Wei for peace, then after they defeat Hangu Pass, it will not simply be a matter of face, but a bigger problem." ”

That Liu Jian was on top of the soft collapse, listening to Du Chong's words, he nodded: "The general is right, the land of the two passes is extremely important to my Great Qin, and my Great Qin must not lose this place, otherwise, we will have no opportunity in terms of strategy." ”

Rolling his eyes, he just thought of something, the corners of Liu Jiandi's mouth gradually curved an arc, paused, and said again to Na Du Chongshi: "General, General Yan has already informed me in advance about this peace talk." ”

When Du Chong heard this, he showed a look of surprise, and unconsciously touched his chin with his hand, his eyes were rolling and rolling, not knowing what he was thinking, but Wen Shangshu on the side was very surprised and asked Liu Jian: "Holy Lord, is it possible...... General Yan had already made this decision in advance? ”

"Since he is the commander in charge of this frontline, he is naturally in charge of all matters of the war." Liu Jian thoughtfully picked up the teacup on the table, and slowly played with his hands, just said slowly.

Du Chong was silent for a long time, and finally spit out: "Then I don't know, what are the conditions of the Wei people?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Jian was not in a hurry to answer, paused, just stood up slowly, walked slowly to the window of the study with his own steps, and looked out through the thin window.

There, there was a simple tree standing tall in the cold wind.

After a long time, he finally sighed slightly, turned his head and said to Du Chong and the others: "They want to go to Princess Song." ”

As soon as these words came out, Du Chong and the others were immediately stunned, and Wen Shangshu seemed to have fallen into evil, and he was stunned by these words, as if he had lost his mind.

After a while, he reacted, and immediately stood up, his face was full of panic, and he hurriedly bowed his hand to Liu Jian: "Holy no, holy no." ”

"Oh? Why not? Then Liu Jian lightly swept the Wen Shangshu that was standing up, and then asked slowly and leisurely.

Wen Shangshu heard this, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Since ancient times, marrying a princess is either weak and unusable, and I can't do it if I ask for it, and now my Qin and Wei kingdoms are at war, if this is for the sake of peace talks, I will marry the princess to the Wei country, then wouldn't my Great Qin become a ......" When he said this, Wen Shangshu seemed to think of something, but he looked at this Liu Jian a few times in fear, but he didn't dare to say it.

That Liu Jianzheng listened to what Wen Shangshu said, and saw that he didn't say it halfway through, so he smiled dumbly, just stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder with his hand, and roared loudly: "What Wen Yuan, you are the head of my civil officials in Daqin, why don't you dare to say it?" ”

"This ......" That Wen Yuan stood in place, pondered for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Then didn't my Daqin become the laughing stock of the world, and the coward who 'exchanged women for peace'?" ”

Spit out this sentence suddenly, Wen Yuan just glanced at Liu Jian, but saw that Liu Jian was looking at him with a smile, and he didn't seem to be angry at all, and he was immediately relieved. , is the arch of his hand: "So Weichen thinks that this General Yan's method is absolutely impossible, if it is really done, it will damage the national prestige of my Great Qin." ”

Liu Jian just listened to Wen Yuan's words quietly, but he didn't express his opinions too much, and after pondering for a while, he looked at Na Du Chong and asked, "General, what do you think?" ”

When Du Chong heard this, he stood up from the soft collapse, stood with his head down, looked very humble, and did not answer for a while.

The study was filled with a quiet and eerie atmosphere, as if it was out of place with the discussion just now.

After a while, Du Chong finally sank his face and arched his hand to Liu Jian and said, "The last general thinks that General Yan's method is feasible. The voice came out of his mouth word by word, and there was an indescribable firmness and persistence.

"This ...... Why did the general say this? That Wen Yuan couldn't sit still, and immediately turned his head in surprise and asked Du Chong, after all, according to his thoughts, this Du Chong should be on the same front as himself.

But Qin Emperor Liu Jian just looked at Du Chong with a smile on his face and didn't say much.

Du Chong listened to Wen Yuan's words, smiled faintly, and asked rhetorically: "Then Wen Shangshu thinks that if I marry the princess of Daqin, I will damage the national prestige and lose face?" ”

"Of course." That Wen Yuan immediately replied without thinking, "If I, Daqin, really marry the princess to the Wei State and seek peace, it will be tantamount to a slap in the face of our Daqin by the Wei people, but our Daqin still has to endure it silently and dare not fight back." ”

After Wen Yuan Zhengse said, he just looked at this Du Chong, wanting to hear what General Qin Guo had to say about this.

Du Chong listened to Wen Yuan's words and nodded: "Yes, what Wen Shangshu said is reasonable, but Wen Shangshu only knows one but doesn't know the other." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wen Yuan was very surprised, and asked.

"The ancients had clouds, and the cangli was solid and knew the integrity, and the lack of reality and the integrity did not come out. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that my Great Qin is facing the problem of life and death, Qinchuan is eight hundred miles, during which it is a horse Pingchuan, as long as the Wei people attack the pass, they can gallop vertically and horizontally, and kill directly to the capital of my Pingjing Emperor, the problem at that time is not to care about what is not temperamental, but not to care about being a slave of the country! ”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Yuan was shocked, and this Du Chong was also bold, and he actually said the word "dead country" in front of His Majesty. For a while, he forgot to refute it, and just froze in place.

Liu Jian was expressionless, just waiting for Du Chong to finish speaking.

Du Chong didn't pause, just continued: "So the last general thinks that marrying the princess is not a loss of face, on the contrary, if my Daqin can be generous and willing to make peace with the Wei State, then everyone in the world will stare at the way of the Wei people, if they accept it, of course, there will be no excuse to attack my Daqin in the future." ”

"This move can not only protect the second battle of our Langyang Xiongguan, but also ensure the peace of our eastern border of Great Qin for ten years." Du Chong said straightforwardly.

A face full of loyalty and perseverance.
