Chapter 344: The Wine Banquet
Ignoring the incomprehensible expressions of the people around them, the two agreed on a negotiation.
The ghost-faced horse took the initiative to step over, and Ye Yunyang also stepped forward, holding his hands together, this behavior expressed a meaning, that is, the agreed things will not change in any way.
"Ye Jungong, now that we have reached a consensus, should we release our personnel?" asked the ghost-faced colt.
Ye Yunyang smiled and said, "Master Pony, it depends on when your ransom arrives, how about we hand over the money and the other hand?"
The ghost-faced colt nodded: "Okay, I will immediately send someone to the camp to transport 100,000 taels of gold, if nothing else, this task can be completed before noon tomorrow." ”
Ye Yunyang immediately said, "Okay, I will also send someone back, and I will bring my senior sister over early tomorrow morning." ”
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
The speed at which the two reached a consensus was too fast for the people around them to object.
After the two separated, Huo Hong whispered, "Senior brother, it's too hasty, isn't it?"
"I don't think so, you think we're at a loss?" he asked.
Huo Hong shook his head and said, "I didn't suffer a loss, I took a big advantage." ”
Ye Yunyang smiled and said, "That's amazing." ”
Huo Hong shook his head again and said, "But success came too quickly and too simply, which made people feel a little unrealistic." ”
In his view, the negotiation should at least be a scene of verbal warfare, and major benefits can be obtained through the confrontation of various psychological warfare.
Ye Yunyang said: "You think too much, negotiation is to do business, bargaining is a way, and hitting it off is also a common result." ”
Personnel from both sides left the scene one after another and returned to their tents.
On Daqin's side, before the ghost-faced horse sat down, Yuan Minggao couldn't help but ask: "My lord, the other party put forward such harsh conditions, why didn't you even think about it, so you agreed?"
The ghost-faced colt smiled indifferently: "Is it very harsh?"
Yuan Minggao nodded, stopping his support for the Southern Barbarians, and the Ghost Face Legion retreating north, it would be a hundred harms to Great Qin.
The ghost-faced pony shook his head and said, "Think about it, isn't it really good for us to go north?"
Yuan Minggao replied without hesitation: "There are several northern feudal states of the Great Han, as well as Rong Di ......."
Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly widened: "Rong Di, the purpose of our trip to the north is ......"
The ghost-faced colt nodded, and said with relief, "You're not too stupid, you guessed it so quickly." That's right, the purpose of our retreat to the north is Rong Di, the Han wants to eradicate the Nanban, a big problem, why don't we take the opportunity to eradicate Rong Di, they are our big trouble. ”
On the Shengtian Continent, the Great Qin and the Great Han fought against each other, and the territory of the two countries was equal in size, with the Great Qin entrenched in the west and the Han controlling the east.
However, there was a Nanban to the south of the Han Dynasty, and the nomadic Rong Di to the north of the Great Qin, and the Great Qin supported the Southern Barbarians against the Great Han, and the Great Han supported Rong Di to harass the Great Qin, and this situation was maintained for hundreds of years.
Yuan Minggao frowned: "But, will they let us conquer the Rongdi people smoothly?"
"Of course not, but they have no power to stop us, just as we have no power to stop them from conquering the Nanban. The ghost-faced colt said in a flat tone: "This is considered to take what they need, on the surface, the big Han took a big advantage in this negotiation, but if you think about it carefully, in addition to 100,000 taels of gold, what benefits did they get?"
Indeed, the Great Han can get the Nanban, but the Great Qin will also include Rong Di in the territory, and the two are offset, and the Great Han only gets 100,000 taels of gold.
In front of the huge imperial machine, one hundred thousand taels of gold was nothing at all.
Yuan Minggao understood, and said happily: "It's still Lord Pony's wisdom, no wonder you agree to Ye Yunyang's proposal, it turns out that we don't suffer." ”
The ghost-faced colt smiled, but a strange look flashed in his eyes, which contained obvious helplessness.
In the Han camp, Ye Yunyang was surrounded by everyone in the middle.
They were all anxious to know the answer, Ye Yunyang took the tea handed by Chen Shilai, took a sip without hurry, and said: "You are all very strange, why would the ghost-faced colt agree so happily, right? Actually, it's very simple, I made a deal with him, this deal is good for both parties, you must know that the other party is ready to be slaughtered, and suddenly such a good thing appears, can he not agree on the spot?"
In this case, whoever changes will directly agree, for fear that the other party will regret it.
Under his detailed explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
Wu Qinglin first gave him a thumbs up, and then said: "Little junior brother, we have obtained the Nanban, and Daqin will conquer Rong Di accordingly, so we will not take advantage of it." ”
Rong Di is a very strong northern nomad, good at cavalry combat, and is a military force that cannot be ignored, but in front of the ghost face army led by Princess Luo Yue and his wife, they can only suffer defeat, and it is a matter of time before they are destroyed.
Faced with such doubts, Ye Yunyang smiled and said: "The Qin people also think so, so they will be complacent, and they will not feel that they have suffered a loss in this negotiation, so they will agree so easily, but in fact, this is not the case at all, and when the war starts, you will understand the deep meaning." ”
Nanban and Rong Di were originally of equal strength, but since Nanban was divided into three, the father and son fought for territory, and internal friction led to a sharp reduction in combat power.
In addition, the Great Han originally chose to support the Eastern Barbarian King Meng Zhun, and Meng Zhun was very loyal to the Great Han, which means that what he really needed to deal with was only two-thirds of the Southern Barbarians. Excluding the loss of troops from their internal friction, at most it is equivalent to half of the previous Nanban, the most important thing is that Meng Huo and Meng Tu are incompatible, and the Han will definitely watch from the sidelines when they use troops on one side.
Combining these, the Great Han only needed to send a force equivalent to one-third of the Nanban to easily destroy it.
Looking at Rong Di's side, it is divided into two major tribes, Beirong and Dongdi, although it is not an iron bucket, but at least they can keep the same pace when fighting, and the Qin people need to pay more troops and time if they want to conquer them.
Even the most powerful Ghost Face Legion will have to pay a huge price in casualties in the end.
In terms of comprehensive national strength and military strength, the Han Dynasty is a grade higher than the Great Qin, the Han army took the Southern Barbarians without much effort, and the Great Qin conquered Rong Di with all his might, which seemed to be great victories, but the nature was completely different.
After the victory, the strength of the Great Han Society increased greatly, and the effect of the Tui En Order further strengthened the national strength, while the Qin State consumed too many troops and materials, and the national strength was affected, and it was difficult for it to recover in a short time.
Between an increase and a decrease, the advantages of the Han will be more obvious, and the disadvantages of the Qin people will also be revealed.
On the surface, the Qin people did not suffer a loss in this confrontation, but in fact, they suffered a big loss, and Ye Yunyang gave them a chance to conquer Rong Di, which was equivalent to digging a big hole for them.
With such a good opportunity, the Qin people will definitely not take the initiative to give up, even if there are smart people who think of the pros and cons, they will not be able to resist the heaven-sent opportunity to conquer Rong Di.
The ghost-faced horse is very smart, he has thought of the deepest problem, but he can't do anything about it, once the news is transmitted back to the Qin State, all the people will be excited, and the Northern Expedition to Rongdi will definitely become an unshakable national policy, and it is impossible for him to change anything alone.
Huo Hong also gave a thumbs up and said, "Little junior brother, Qin Guo was miserable by you this time. ”
Qu Pingyuan said: "Not only were they caught, but the most important thing was that they felt that they were cheap, and they would spare no effort to launch a war to conquer the north, and finally fell into the quagmire of bitter fighting." ”
Ye Yunyang put away his smile and asked solemnly: "Everyone, did I do this a little bit of damage?"
"Yes!" said in unison.
"Uh!" Ye Yunyang said he couldn't accept it.
Wu Qinglin did not forget to mend the knife: "It's just hurtful." ”
"Can we still have a good chat?" he said with a dark face, "Anyway, I'm all for us big men, so you can't say something nice?"
Huo Hong said: "You asked first, as people with heads and faces, we can't lie." ”
Ye Yunyang was completely speechless, and said angrily: "Let's go, I'm going to cultivate, don't be an eyesore here." ”
Everyone laughed and left one after another.
When Chen Shilai went to see everyone off, he happened to meet a messenger sent by the ghost-faced horse, saying that he was going to hold a feast in the evening to celebrate the end of the negotiations, and hoped that Ye Yunyang could lead his own personnel to participate.
Ye Yunyang was suspicious: "Is it necessary to have such a feast, is the ghost-faced horse too polite?"
Chen Shilai nodded and said: "I also don't think it's necessary, after all, the two countries are enemies, even if they reach a consensus on something, they can't change this ironclad fact, how can they sit together and drink?"
"Does he have a conspiracy?" Ye Yunyang thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's unlikely, with the character of a ghost-faced horse, he should disdain this kind of small means that cannot be put on the table." Besides, even if he uses a divisive strategy, with the cleverness of our Han Emperor, he will not be fooled at all. ”
Chen Shilai frowned and said: "For the sake of insurance, it is better to refuse, no matter what the other party has in mind, more is better than less." ”
"It's not good, I think it's necessary to figure out the reason, if we refuse, it will make the other party think that we don't have the courage and don't measure. Ye Yunyang shook his head and said, "You go and tell the person who came that the county guild led the entourage to attend the banquet on time, thank you for the generosity of the ghost-faced horse." ”
"Yes. Chen Shilai withdrew to reply to the envoy of the Qin people, Ye Yunyang saw that it was still early, and decided to cultivate Xuanli, his current level is the cultivation of the Yuan Realm Ink Recognition Period, if he can be promoted to the color reading period before the banquet, it will definitely impress the Qin people.
Yes, that's it.
After making up his mind, he ordered no one to come in and disturb him until dark, and then sat cross-legged on the blanket and used the "Breaking Cultivation Method" to start cultivating.
In his third sea of consciousness, a picture was unraveled like a cocoon, and the process went extremely smoothly.
But this kind of thing is hard to come by, especially when the martial arts level reaches a certain height, and many things become out of my control.
Whether Ye Yunyang can succeed, we will wait and see.
