Chapter 78: The Scales
Guan Ying listened to the emotional card played by Doguman with a blank face, and he did not sympathize with the enemy.
Doguman didn't want to play the emotional card, at most he just played an atmosphere. It's just that he didn't expect that he rendered it quite well, and he fooled into a stupid ...... True friends.
It was a bonus. Although this windfall was quickly sanctioned.
Now that the emotional card is played, the next thing is the point.
"Zuo Xiaowang has already mentioned that my army is not too far from the border of the Zhou State, so I won't repeat it. But I want to emphasize that in terms of bare feet or our cocoons are thicker. Your Great Zhou family has a great cause, if the war resumes, it will hurt the muscles and bones, and the jade will be burned. We don't have anything to lose, but you're different. β
"Think about it from the perspective of Da Zhou, isn't it worth it?"
Guan Ying smiled coldly: "The jade is burned? You're afraid it's that ability. Is it worth it? What has it to do with you, a Gentile? β
"Whether you have the ability or not, you have to try to know. We are here for peace, and of course we have something to do with it. The border line of the Great Zhou is really long, if there are fires on all sides, how sure will the Great Zhou put out the fire? Even if the fire is extinguished, it will hurt the muscles and bones. If the fire extinguishing fails, is it all burned? β
Doguman's words made the officials present think about it, it was really not worth thinking about it like this.
Guan Ying questioned: "To put it lightly, why don't I know, when did the king of the Xiang Party have such a good popularity?" β
"Hehe, Da Zhou is too rich, how can he covet it for my party? It's just that those guys are too well hidden, and they are not as straightforward as my party. To borrow a phrase from your Great Zhou, 'The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for the sake of profit', and the common interests are friends. "It's really impossible, because their king (Mao Dunzhen) wants to take it alone! Cutting meat to make profits is not the true character of a king.
Guan Ying felt that the clothes on his back were a little wet, and it was all sweat from him.
It's not impossible. If the situation is very good, if everything collapses in a bad direction because of the breakdown of negotiations, then he is a sinner, a sinner who has caused misery to all living beings in the world!
Doguman was relieved to see that Guan Martingale finally hesitated, and the clothes on his back were already soaked. Guan Ying was the most determined Zhou official he had ever seen. He was also under a lot of pressure.
At this time, Chen Chuan hinted that the household was almost empty...... No, there were only three or two rats running.
Anyway, if you don't do the business of losing money, the household department has no money in this battle.
Then more civil officials joined the pigeon camp, and they marched forward with the four-character banner of "peace is precious".
On the other side, the relatively rigid generals represent the eagle camp and attack the pigeon camp with the twelve-character policy of "fighting if you want to fight, the Great Zhou army, fearless".
What do you mean? Look down on us? Our border defense is not paper-mΓ’chΓ©, surrender without fighting, do not agree! Strongly disagree.
In fact, whether it is the pigeon camp or the eagle camp, they all hope that the big week will be good. The Great Zhou is the tree where they rest and rest, and when the tree falls, what branch can they rely on?
The situation now seems to be a balance. On the one hand, there are the doves with huge strength and represented by civilian officials, and on the other hand, there are the hawks who have returned triumphantly and represented by military generals.
And Lu Cheng is the bargaining chip. Lu Cheng favors that side, which side can achieve an overwhelming victory.
Now the decision is in Lu Cheng's hands, how will she choose?
