Chapter 322: The Continuation of the War – Diplomacy

When the generals heard this, they immediately understood Yang Zilu's intentions, and immediately respected Yang Zilu's courage to bear mistakes. It's not special to make mistakes, it's special to dare to take mistakes as the king of a country.

With Yang Zilu taking the lead, the generals also let go of the shame in their hearts, bravely admitted their own mistakes and pointed out the mistakes of others. All the generals frankly analyzed the gains and losses on today's battlefield, what was wrong, and how they were wrong. In order to prevent forgetting, Yang Zilu asked the merchant to come in and be responsible for recording it. Bu Shang was one of Confucius's outstanding disciples, and he came with Zigong this time in order to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield and win a knighthood.

But it's a pity that Yang Zilu values Bu Shang very much, and Bu Shang is on the battlefield, but following Yang Zilu, just one look at the word, can already summarize his time on the battlefield for most of the day. Even when Yang Zilu went to the battlefield to fight and encourage morale, Yang Zilu did not bring him. This made Bu Shanghao depressed for a while, and he didn't think of how to communicate with Yang Zilu and let Yang Zilu go to the battlefield for him.

Yang Zilu had already asked him to come in and be responsible for recording these, listening to the discussion of the generals, and listening to Bu Shang was fascinated. The experience of these generals is not so easy to have the opportunity to hear, and even the fact that there are many generals in later generations is not because the sons and grandchildren of the generals are talented, but because others generally do not have the opportunity to learn this knowledge. Bu Shang, who thought he understood Yang Zilu's meaning, immediately listened and recorded more attentively. I secretly made up my mind that I would not let the Lord down.

In fact, this is just an unintentional move by Yang Zilu.

After the end of this military meeting, Hou Xiong dragged his feet to the end, but when everyone was gone, he turned around and didn't leave.

Yang Zilu had already seen that Hou Xiong was wrong, and it was not strange to see him turn around. Looking at Hou Xiong, he asked, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? Sneaky, I don't know, I think you and the widow are discussing some kind of conspiracy! ”

Hou Xiong looked at Yang Zilu and didn't understand, and immediately said angrily: "Lord, how did you say the method of summarizing mistakes after the war in front of Shi Qi and Ru Cao!" Forget about Ru Cao, Wu is surrounded by the Han State, and it can't afford any wind and waves! But Shi Qi is different, maybe he will definitely raise troops and confront the lord! Wouldn't this make the soldiers of our Han Kingdom bleed more!? ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he laughed and said: "You only know one thing but you don't know the other, can you hide this post-war summary?" If you can't hide it, it's better not to hide it if you can't hide it. is also frank, this will make Ru Cao and Shi Qi think that the widow treats them as their own. And they will also be unconsciously influenced by the Han army, advocating everything in the Han Kingdom, so that we will be better able to accept them in the future! ”

"But what about Shi Qi? Shi Qichen didn't think that he would be recovered by the Lord so easily! He really deserves his last name, it's really a stone, and it's the kind of thatched toilet, smelly and hard! Hou Xiong still said dissatisfied, but this dissatisfaction was not as much as before.

"Stone beggar!" Yang Zilu said this, showing a smug smile. "Shi Qi, the widow is ready to deal with his people! Shi Qi is good at everything, that is, foolish and loyal, and the foolish and loyal person is to use his master to deal with him, isn't it better? ”

Hou Xiong became even more confused when he heard this, and asked, "Lord, what is wrong with you today?" How can you say that...... What about that! How could Bai Gongsheng deal with Shi Qi? ”

Actually, Hou Xiong wanted to say something like "such an idiot". However, considering that this was Yang Zilu, he hurriedly changed his words to such words.

Yang Zilu also understood what Hou Xiong meant, and he didn't think so. Haha smiled, stretched out his hand, raised his index finger, shook it and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" Don't ask that question! You'll find out later! ”

Hou Xiong asked again and again, but Yang Zilu still said, 'The secret of heaven must not be revealed'. asked in a hurry, Yang Zilu said you wait, it won't take long to know the reason. Hou Xiong had no choice but to retire to Yang Zilu with full curiosity, hoping that time would pass faster so that he could know the answer.

There was nothing to do overnight, and in the early morning of the next day, Yang Zilu and Ye Gong both chose a truce, and the battlefield was empty, leaving only soldiers in pairs and threes to clean up the corpses on the battlefield.

The reason why this situation occurred was because Yang Zilu and Ye Gong both knew that at this time of the war, war was no longer a way to solve the problem, at least for the time being, the war could not solve the problem!

…… The Great Tent of the Chinese Army......

"Xu Cheng, the envoy of the State of Chu, begs to see!" The soldier shouted.

A majestic voice came from inside the tent, "Pass! ”

The soldier made a gesture of invitation to Xu Cheng, but he didn't express any flattery, he said with a straight face, and said with a businesslike face: "The Lord is invited, go in!" ”

"Humph!" Although Xu Cheng was dissatisfied with the attitude of the soldiers, he could only snort coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

Xu Cheng went in and saluted Yang Zilu. Yang Zilu didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Your intentions have already been guessed, let's make peace!" What conditions Ye Gong gave, just say it! Stop talking nonsense! ”

When Xu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and a trace of fear couldn't help but flash in his heart. Frightened by Yang Zilu's uncertain prophet, could it be that Yang Zilu received a revelation from the gods yesterday?

Xu Cheng is also a messenger in the end, and he knows that he can't panic, at least not let the other party find out that he is flustered. Xu Cheng barely controlled his emotions, looked at Yang Zilu and said, "Hanhou is really wise, since this is the case, I won't talk nonsense." Now neither side can help the other, so the marshal hopes that the problem can be solved through diplomacy! ”

Yang Zilu nodded noncommittally, and waited for Xu Cheng to open the bidding code.

Xu Cheng saw that Yang Zilu was unmoved, and couldn't help but have a headache. No matter how people face such a seasoned opponent, they will feel the same headache as him, but the headache is a headache, but the business still has to be said. "The marshal's condition is that the state of Chu and the state of Han will be decomposed by the line of Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain, and the south of Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain will be the state of Chu, and the north will be the state of Han!"

"Isn't that the way it is?" Yang Zilu sneered.

Xu Cheng shook his head and said, "Definitely! The Chengyang area in the upper reaches of the Huai River still belongs to the Chu State. And the Han Marquis, please note that the marshal is saying that they are all 'Han Kingdom'! ”

When Xu Cheng said the word Hanguo, the words were particularly heavy.

Yang Zilu was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, although the Han State now occupies a lot of land in the Chu State, but these lands still belong to Bai Gongsheng in name. Xu Cheng said that Ye Gong was willing to formally cede these lands to the Han State. After that, if Ye Gong wanted to attack the Han Kingdom, he would not be able to play the banner of recovering the lost land.

Yang Zilu smiled, there is a door! Xu Cheng held back his face and kept the expression on his face unchanged, but he was already smiling in his heart.

But Yang Zilu's face suddenly changed greatly, and he scolded: "Xu Cheng, are you a fool to be a widow?" The outnumbered people attacked the Chu State, not for these lands! It's for the justice of the Chu State! Know no! ”

Xu Cheng's face immediately turned angry when he heard this, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart. Yang Zilu's words are above board, but Xu Cheng understands the actual meaning. Yang Zilu told Xu Cheng that he wanted to provoke discord, no way!

Xu Cheng's conditions just now seemed to be very good, and he gave Yang Zilu the name of occupying these lands openly. But in fact, this is not the case, although now the princes of the world, and even Shi Qi, they all know that Yang Zilu helped them to seize the Chu State, but there are still those ordinary people who don't know. And at least nominally, Yang Zilu still did not dare to blatantly usurp the power of the Chu State, such as the occupied cities. Yang Zilu also asked Bai Gongsheng to appoint officials, and he only sent troops to take over and control these cities.

Because the people of Chu have patriotic sentiments very early, although the slogan of "Chu can kill Qin" was not shouted until more than 200 years later. But who knows if it will appear in advance now, and it will become 'Chu Although the three households can die'. Yang Zilu didn't want to get caught up in the people's war.

Besides, although they are weak, they are not casually pinched. They will definitely fight to the death, although they are doomed to failure, but how much trouble will it cause themselves? In this way, Ye Gong had the opportunity to calmly clean up the Qin State. After cleaning up the Qin State, at this time the Han State had just experienced internal strife, and Ye Gong led the new victorious division to come, and it was not easy to recover the lost land, maybe he could cut a few pieces of meat from the Han State.

Yang Zilu squinted, swept Xu Cheng, and said: "Lishui (now Zhuanshui, Hubei Province, one of the tributaries of the Yangtze River) is moving, and the south of the Yangtze River is cut off in ...... Chu! In order to distinguish it, it is called Dongchu. If you don't agree, although the widow can't defeat Ye Gong, he can still drag it out! ”

When Xu Cheng heard this, he was immediately frightened by Yang Zilu's big breath. What a big land Yang Zilu is talking about now! It was the northwestern part of modern Hubei Province and the land north of the Yangtze River in Anhui Province. All the land added up is not much worse than the overall area of Anhui Province.

Yang Zilu obviously knew that Xu Cheng couldn't be the master of this matter, even if Xu Cheng agreed, Yang Zilu wouldn't believe it, thinking that Ye Gong was playing some tricks again.

Yang Zilu waved his hand and said, "Go back and talk to Ye Gong!" It's not up to you, a little fish and shrimp, to decide! ”

Although the small fish and shrimp gave Xu Cheng a great insult, Xu Cheng still had to endure it, who called himself compared to Yang Zilu, he was really a small fish and a small shrimp. Xu Cheng was a little absent-mindedly polite to Yang Zilu, and hurriedly retired. got on the military car, hurried back to the Chu army camp, and reported to Ye Gongyu about the negotiations with Yang Zilu.
