Chapter 653: Idle Debate

Back in the big tent, Yi Xiang Yele's attitude was obviously much more humble. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After seeing the power of the Tang Army's super divine cannon, Yixiang Yele knew that it was imperative to make peace with the Tang people, otherwise this time the Tubo Kingdom might really destroy the country.

In fact, the two sides have not been able to reach any concrete agreement. Because of the Tang Dynasty, it is still necessary to wait for the arrival of the holy decree of the imperial court, and it is a big crime to make peace without holy will. Wang Yuan's statement that he would talk about the conditions first and then turn his head and deny it was obviously a joke, and it was something that would never happen. On the Tibetan side, Yixiang Yele also needs to immediately report the situation that happened under the city of Zhu Dan, and ask for permission from Zhu Dan before the two sides can officially start talks.

As a result, the two sides confirmed their intention to negotiate peace, and agreed that if the two countries agreed to negotiate peace in five days, they would start a formal peace agreement under the city of Pibo. Of course, both sides are actually ready to negotiate peace, not to mention the Tibetan side, Yixiang Yele can be the majority of the masters, and the Tang side Wang Yuan, Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi and others actually understand in their hearts that the imperial court is unable to allocate troops and horses for reinforcements, so the joint proposal of the four people is actually enough for Xuanzong to make a decision to negotiate peace.

At the beginning of the third watch, Yixiang Yele finally said goodbye and left the Tang army camp, Wang Yuan and others sent him away and returned to the big tent, and after sitting down, the four of them couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.

"My brother Shuhan just saw the methods of Wang Jiedu's envoy today, and Yixiang Ye Leqi is about to be scared, hahaha. That super divine cannon, hehehe...... Scary enough. Geshuhan laughed.

Li Guangbi also smiled: "Yes, Wang Jiedu is really resourceful, and a small means will teach Yixiang Yele to be condescending and respectful, and the tone of his speech has changed." Brilliant scheme, really brilliant scheme. ā€

Wang Yuan smiled, a little proud in his heart. Everything today was arranged by Wang Yuan, in order to deter Yi Xiang Yele and teach him not to use the topography and solidity of Luo Some City as the last hole card, Wang Yuan came up with the idea of this so-called super divine cannon. In fact, most of the thunderbolts on the carriage were empty boxes, and only the carriage where Wang Yuan ordered someone to unwrap the felt cloth was a carriage full of thunderbolts. That was all the remaining thunderbolts in the Jiannan Army, less than three hundred in total. The rest was consumed in the indiscriminate bombardment of the afternoon.

As for the super Shenwei cannon, it was just in the afternoon, Wang Yuan ordered someone to raise the double mast of the Shenwei cannon by a useless section. The site is also deliberately made larger. In fact, the distance and power of the launch have not changed at all. It's just that the one that was fired was a solid stone ball, and I don't know where it fell after it was thrown out of the camp. However, at a distance of 900 paces, the soldiers of the artillery battalion arranged in advance detonated three thunderbolts connected together, creating the illusion that the Super Shenwei Cannon had a long range and was powerful enough.

All this was too realistic, and only a few people knew about it beforehand, so the surprise and surprise of the onlookers around at that time were naturally revealed, and Yixiang Yele couldn't see any flaws. In addition, under the cover of night, many details were covered up, and Yixiang Yele naturally fell into Wang Yuan's trap again, although he was not scared to pee, but he was indeed scared.

"It's just a small skill of carving insects, in order to let the Tubo people no longer have any illusions, only the road of peace. Once we formally negotiate, we can force them to let us get more benefits. It is not appropriate to say much about this matter, and it will not work if they know about it. Wang Yuan said with a smile.

"What I said is, don't say it, don't say it, wait for the holy decree of the imperial court, tomorrow will not be the day after tomorrow. At that time, you will know the meaning of the imperial court. Geshuhan said.

Wang Yuan nodded, and inadvertently found Gao Xianzhi looking thoughtful on the side, so he smiled and said, "What, Gao Dashuai didn't say a word, do you have any opinion on what I did tonight?" ā€

Gao Xianzhi smiled: "I don't have a view, this plan is very good." But I just have some feelings. ā€

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Oh? How do you feel? Can you tell us all to listen and be taught? ā€

Gao Xianzhi flicked the teacup in front of him with his slender fingers, and said lightly: "I don't dare to be taught." You are indeed a person with outstanding scheming, and with a little trickery, you will play with Yixiang Yele on applause. Admittedly, these tactics are absolutely advantageous for the bigger picture and definitely work for the upcoming negotiations, but in the long run, they will hide the consequences. ā€

Wang Yuan frowned and was silent, Ge Shuhan looked at Wang Yuan worriedly, for fear that Wang Yuan would have an argument with Gao Xianzhi when he heard these unpleasant words. Li Guangbi watched with a smile on his face and with interest, quite a bit of a play.

"I, Gao, have always believed that true strength is the foundation of the enemy's submission, and all other schemes can only be the end. If the enemy cannot be brought to his knees by strength, but by these tactics and means, then there is a suspicion of sacrificing the basics. Even if there are immediate gains, once the truth is revealed, there will be disasters. For example, today, even if the peace agreement is reached, once Tubo learns that he has been deceived and has no such thing as a super divine cannon, Yixiang Yele and even Tubo will feel humiliated, and the peace agreement will become a waste paper sooner or later. Maybe in ten years, maybe eight years, Tubo will be the enemy of our Tang Dynasty again. Gao Xianzhi said eloquently.

Wang Yuan's brows twisted into a pimple. This Gao Xianzhi was indeed an arrogant person, and he actually said this. It's not right to say that what he said, but there is some truth to it. Say he's right, it's obvious that his words are too paranoid.

Gao Dashuai's words really penetrated into the inside, and what he said was very reasonable. Wang Yuan was taught. Wang Yuan decided not to meet Gao Xianzhi in general, so he laughed.

Gao Xianzhi looked at Wang Yuan and said, "Don't you have anything to refute me?" ā€

Wang Yuan smiled: "Refute what? Gao Dashuai's words are indeed very reasonable. It's just a slight flaw. ā€

Gao Xianzhi smiled: "You don't have to be so polite, a slight flaw means that there is a big problem, there is nothing to do, why not say it and discuss it?" Do you think we're going to get into trouble because of all these things? I'm afraid you and I won't be so stingy, just small talk. ā€

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Since the tall and handsome are interested, then the younger brother will accompany him to chat casually." If Ge Shu and Li Dashuai feel depressed, they can go back to the tent to rest. It's not too early. ā€

"It's not boring, it's not boring, it's in good spirits." Ge Shuhan waved his hand repeatedly.

Li Guangbi also smiled and said: "It's rare to listen to the two handsomes chatting, how can you be sleepy?" ā€

Wang Yuan smiled: "Okay, then let's talk casually." I agree with some of what Gao Dashuai said just now, but I don't completely agree with it. It's too much to say that there is a big problem, but it's just a small difference in opinion. ā€

Gao Xianzhi smiled: "You don't have to save face for me. ā€

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Gao Shuai just said that he should use real strength to conquer the other party, not use conspiracy, because sooner or later it will be exposed, but it will leave a bane." This doesn't sound wrong at all, but I want to ask Gao Dashuai, what do you mean by strength? ā€

Gao Xianzhi smiled: "Do you still need to ask?" Nature is the power we have to overcome our opponents. Specifically, with elite soldiers and horses, powerful siege equipment, sufficient logistics support and materials, and brave and fearless soldiers, this is strength. ā€

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "That's good, but I'm a little puzzled, I can recognize the things that Gao Dashuai said about the soldiers and horses, but what is the so-called heroic and fearless thing in the back?" Can you explain? ā€

"This ...... How do I explain this? Courage is ...... It is the soldier's life...... Not afraid of life and death,......" Gao Xianzhi frowned.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Then what is the use of life by soldiers?" Take it out and I'll take a look? ā€

"Aren't you messing around? How do you take these things out and see? It's all things that can't be seen or touched. Gao Xianzhi smacked his lips and said.

Wang Yuan laughed and said: "Just kidding, tall and handsome, the strength you just wanted to talk about is nothing more than two kinds, one is called hard power, and the other is called soft power." Hard power is something that can be seen and touched, such as soldiers and horses, and equipment. Soft power is the so-called brave and fearless spirit of soldiers who are not afraid of life and death, isn't that so? ā€

"Yes, that's what it means." Gao Xianzhi nodded.

Wang Yuan smiled: "That's good, there is no need to talk about this topic, Gao Dashuai has already refuted his remarks just now with his own words." ā€

Gao Xianzhi was stunned and said, "How could I have refuted? ā€

Wang Yuan smiled: "Didn't you admit that strength includes soft power?" So is stratagem soft power? If you say no, then the sages' tactics of war are all in vain. ā€

"This ...... Of course, those count, but that's different. Gao Xianzhi said busily.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Gao Dashuai wants to say that I use conspiracy and trickery, and the art of war is all fair and honest strategies, right?" First of all, a conspiracy is a conspiracy, and there is no conspiracy or conspiracy. Secondly, the strategy in the ancient soldiers and horses is not necessarily above board, can you tell me how upright the beauty plan is? Also, the tactics of hiding a knife in a smile, robbing while the fire is burning, and killing people with a knife are not so above board just by listening to the name. So, tall and handsome, do you think these tactics can get into your eyes? ā€

"This ......" Gao Xianzhi was speechless for a while, speechless.

"Soldiers, treacherous. This is a summary of military affairs in Sun Tzu's Art of War, and this is not what I said. Therefore, fighting against the enemy and doing many tricks in order to win is not a way to abandon the basics, but to walk on the right path. Does Gao Dashuai think so? Wang Yuan smiled.

Gao Xianzhi was dumbfounded, always feeling that something was wrong, but he was speechless and couldn't refute it, and he was a little embarrassed for a while. Wang Yuan looked at Gao Xianzhi with a smile and said: "Sample, play debate with me, even if you are a famous handsome in the Tang Dynasty, I am not afraid of you." I'm the leader of the college debate team, and how many sharp-tongued students have been dumbfounded by me, let alone you.

"It's all a joke, it's just a joke, it's just a fight, and the tall and handsome don't take it to heart. In fact, I still agree with what you just said, and I decided to order someone to seriously develop the Super Shenwei Cannon to see if there is any possibility of making it. At that time, we won't be able to deceive the Tibetans, and they won't be angry that we deceived them. Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Gao Xianzhi smiled and shook his head: "How can I take it to heart, I'm just thinking, that little seventh sister in my family will definitely like you, my little seventh sister is the best at debating, and when I meet someone like you who is eloquent, I'm afraid I will be happy." ā€

Wang Yuan was stunned, and now it was his turn to be speechless.
