Chapter 121: The One-Year Period (2)
After recapturing the Xuanwu garrison, the army broke all the way to the border of the Yue Kingdom, capturing and occupying three cities in a row.
The Vietnamese army was defeated and retreated, and the third prince Zhai Feiran was injured and bedridden, and the Vietnamese army was in chaos, the army was unstable, and the people were panicked.
After three months of fighting, Yue Guo finally couldn't bear it anymore and handed over the peace letter.
When he received the peace letter from the Vietnamese army, Xi Mingxu was discussing the next battle plan in the main tent of the departing army.
Xi Mingxu opened the peace book and announced the contents of the peace book to all the generals present.
"What do you think of this peace request?" asked Xi Mingxu.
"It's too early to come to sue for peace after only occupying three cities!" the deputy marshal of the White Tiger Army directly refused.
"Yes, if you don't destroy his morale to cross the country, he won't be able to learn to be obedient, I left the country ten years ago and shouted, and ten years later, I dare to come!"
"That's right, this time they must fight so that they don't dare to come in their lives!" Cheng Feiyang also agreed with everyone's ideas.
Xi Mingxu turned his gaze to Xia Chaoge and asked, "What does the military advisor think?"
"I thought it should be. ”
Xia Chaoge's answer made all the generals stunned.
When he first attacked the Yue Kingdom, it was the military division who contributed the most strategies, why did he directly accept the request for peace at this time?
"There are three reasons, the first is that the Yue country is offended and left the country, morally speaking, it should be stopped if they are driven out, and then there is aggression, and we do not take advantage of it. ”
"Then if they can beat us, we won't be able to get some interest back?"
"It's better to wait for the military advisor to finish speaking" Xi Mingxu suppressed the scene and let Xia Chaoge continue.
"Second, although the northern Xinjiang is handed over by the emperor to the Xi family's army to guard, but it is a matter of seeking peace between the country, and it has risen to the political exchanges between the two countries.
When Xia Chaoge said this, those generals who were originally in charge of the battle were stunned all of a sudden, they didn't think so much about it at all, thinking about the country and politics.
"Thirdly, and most importantly. Xia Chaoge took a deep breath.
"When two countries are at war, it is always the people who are hurt. Victory or defeat, displacement of people, loss of loved ones, this is extremely cruel. Therefore, if you can solve it peacefully, don't risk the lives of others. ”
Xia Chaoge finished saying these words earnestly, and the entire main account was silent.
"So, accept the peace letter and present it to the emperor, do you still have any opinions?"
During the whole process, Xi Mingxu did not have a trace of surprise, and everything was logical.
Xia Chaoge knew that Xi Mingxu's thoughts were the same as hers, and he just said it through her mouth.
For a while, there was no sound in the main account, and although everyone was unwilling, they all agreed to this treatment.
"Actually, not fighting is not necessarily bad. When the sum is handed over, we have the advantage, and at the negotiating table, we can obtain more benefits. Do not lose a soldier and achieve the same goal. Xia Chao said.
"The insightful views of the military advisor make me admire. ”
"It's just these twists and turns, we can't play. ”
"The emperor will arrange the negotiations, so you don't have to worry. ”
Xia Chaoge paused, and said with a smile: "At that time, I will personally go to the capital to supervise this matter, and when the compensation of the Yue Kingdom is settled, I will have to work hard for everyone to rebuild this devastated battlefield together." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals were surprised, and even Xi Mingxu's face sank.
