However, Prince Gong and Wen Xiang are still sweating in their palms, it's too risky, can foreigners reason with you? If you are reasonable, foreigners will still come to the door?

In fact, they don't want to think about it, it's really a waste of the imperial court, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, whether it's good intentions or bad intentions, they reject all foreigners, and even good things have become evil, can people not come to the door? Could it be that a sheep has nothing to provoke the tiger, and expects the tiger to politely send you out of the tiger hole?

Guo Ye continued: "General Grant, I respect you as a soldier, Minister Ergin, and I also respect you as a politician, what we want is put on the table, whether it is negotiation or war, I, Guo Ye, are all next, as for letting a clown jump off the beam, caught between us and pointing fingers, we have to lower our status." ”

"You're light!"

Grant roared, "I just need our robbed cargo now!" Don't give me useless! Guo Ye, apart from you, I can't think of anyone else in the entire Qing Kingdom who has the courage to break ground on the heads of Britain and France! ”

Guo Ye spread his hands and replied: "General Grant, as far as I know, the bandits have already left their names, on Taihang Mountain, eight hundred Yan Zhao generous soldiers, they are horse bandits in Taihang Mountain, even if I have wings on my body, I can't run to Taihang Mountain in a few days and invite these people out, right?" Taihang Mountain is hundreds of miles away from the capital! In the first battle of Gaobeidian, I was stunned by a cannonball, and I was wounded in 17 places, and the wounds have not completely healed until now. If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll tire you to death. I will definitely not be able to break through the defense line I laid in Gaobeidian! ”

Grant was speechless, yes, what Guo Ye said was true, a moment ago, the Qing army was able to launch a fierce offensive against the coalition army, even if the British and French coalition forces were not at a disadvantage. I didn't expect that suddenly, the entire right-wing position completely collapsed in less than half an hour! Immediately afterwards, the positions of the Chinese army and the left flank in the north were even more defeated, and it was impossible to organize effective resistance at all!

It turned out that Guo Ye was injured by a cannonball and fell unconscious! If Guo Ye is safe. It was absolutely impossible for the British and French forces to pass through the three ring tunnel fortifications so smoothly, not to mention that there were thousands of Mongolian cavalry galloping back and forth in the three positions at that time to provide mobile support.

However, Guo Ye was seriously injured, and his soldiers were even more beaten, how could he organize hundreds of elite combat forces to rob the Gyeonggi area? Does it really have nothing to do with Guo Ye? In the Gyeonggi area, there is another elite Qing army? It's really puzzling......

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Several, I advise you to be realistic. If we continue to fight like this, it won't do anyone any good? Make concessions to each other. Wouldn't it be nice to have things settled satisfactorily? Also, since it was the horse bandits who robbed you of your things, it is explained that on Taihang Mountain, you can send troops to Taihang Mountain, for your British and French forces. It shouldn't be that hard, right? I know very well that you have at least 16,700 cavalry, which can completely encircle and suppress the horse bandits, and even take their lair on Taihang Mountain. ”

Grant snorted and didn't speak. Ran to Taihang Mountain to encircle and suppress horse bandits? Joke! Taihang Mountains, eight hundred miles away, fierce mountains and bad waters, I am not familiar with life there, I don't even have a guide, so I rush over recklessly, then there is only one way to die! Lao Tzu is not so stupid, not to mention the cavalry of more than 1,000 people, even if he sends another 2,000 infantry to act together, there is absolutely no certainty, people are bandits, not regular troops!

Gro on the side said in a deep voice: "But, General Guo, one thing is undeniable, our goods are robbed in your country, and your country should take the responsibility of recovering them, this is a common practice in the world, you are proficient in foreign affairs, you must not be a stranger, right?" ”

At this time, Gro actually talked to Guo Ye about international practices, which was really speechless and helpless, because in front of Guo Ye, the methods they could use were really limited, this guy was very proficient in the West, and he was also an extremely good genius general.

Gro is very shrewd, knows how to get the most out of the Qing State, the horse bandits are robbing a part of the goods, almost accounting for a third of all the treasure, especially a large amount of gold and silver, but it is only a third, and now there are nearly two-thirds of the treasure in his own hands, this wealth is worth more, as long as it can be safely transported back to Europe, it is definitely an amazing fortune!

If you can get a large amount of compensation from Qing Guo, it will definitely be a profit, a big profit!

Therefore, Gro now does not want to intensify the conflict with Guo Ye, but seeks the possibility of further negotiations.

Guo Ye replied: "Mr. Gro, what you said is right, if it is your country's property, our Qing Kingdom will naturally have the obligation to recover it for you, even if it costs a lot of money, it will not hesitate, this is where the credibility and righteousness of a country in the world lie; But is it your wealth that has been robbed? Ten days ago, they were all stored in the Old Summer Palace! These are the wealth of our Chinese ****, which has been created by the Chinese nation from generation to generation. ”

Gro's face turned red, and Grant on the side said disdainfully: "General Guo, you also have to know that in wars, the ownership of wealth has always been determined by victory or defeat, and in this war, in the final analysis, we are still victorious, even if you are a genius?" The city of Peking is now under the control of the Anglo-French forces! We are the victors, and these riches are ours! ”

Guo Ye smiled and said: "Okay, General Grant, what you said is not unreasonable, it's better like this, three days, three days, three days, we will officially restart negotiations, negotiate again on these issues, and we will definitely be able to come up with a perfect solution, what do you say?" ”

Gro and Ergin glanced at each other, after all, the two of them were ministers and had the final say.

The two of them nodded to each other, now Gong Xiaogong, who is the arm of the two people, is dead, and it is not interesting to carry it here again, so they can only go back first, and then discuss countermeasures, anyway, there is time, it should be the Qing court that is really anxious, not them!
