No matter how good the relationship between two people was before, after all, they are now their own masters.
Now, since the other side dares to send Jiang Hong, a surrendered general, for peace talks, they must have considerable confidence in this person.
After all, the envoy represents the face of a country, and Shuzhou will never send someone to negotiate who it cannot control at all.
Therefore, there is a 99% chance that Jiang Hong's body and mind belong to Shuzhou.
However, in line with the official principle of never trying to undermine someone in person, Li Hu followed Jiang Hong's words. On the surface, he was very polite.
But their words are also very easy to understand.
Jiang Hong: My brother is having a hard time there!
Li Hu: "Ah, yes, yes!"
Jiang Hong: "They are the ones who threatened me!"
Li Hu: "Ah, yes, yes!"
Coming and going, singing and harmonizing is quite interesting.
Jiang Hong looked at the black circles under Li Hu's eyes and coughed and said: "It seems that Shuzhou has been continuously attacking the city with firearms these days. Brother Li Hu is also not feeling well. He hasn't slept well for two months because of the thunder.
Bar?"
Li Hu took a sip of strong tea and then put it down and said, "If Shuzhou can maintain the bombardment of thunderous thunder, we may be able to sleep better."
Jiang Hong: "..."
Ah this...
Paths never imagined.
Jiang Hong always thought that he couldn't sleep well because of the thunder. He was still wondering, they hadn't released the thunder for two days, so why did Li Hu still have two black circles under his eyes? It shouldn't be!
Now he knows that without the Thunderbolt blasting in his ears, he would not be able to sleep at all.
Jiang Hong wanted to say something more, but Li Hu waved his hand and said, "Brother Jiang, let's talk about the gossip later. Let's talk about business. I heard that Shuzhou sent you here to negotiate peace."
What? Shuzhou suddenly doesn’t want to fight anymore?”
Jiang Hong said with a smile, "With Brother Li Hu guarding the border, Shuzhou cannot be conquered. He heard that I have some friendship with my brother, so I was specially sent to discuss peace talks with Brother Li Hu."
Li Hu heard Jiang Hong's words and said: "If your army is sincere, I will naturally be willing to negotiate for peace. This will also make the people peaceful for a few days."
The deputy general who was accompanying him heard Li Hu's words and immediately said: "General! General! We can't negotiate peace! We can't negotiate peace with them!"
Now is a good time to fight back. How could we negotiate peace so hastily?
If this is the case, wouldn't it make people all over the world think that Zhao State is afraid of a mere Shuzhou rebel?
If you want to fight, you can fight, if you want to negotiate for peace, you can negotiate for peace?
Where in the world is there such a cheap thing?
Li Hu said in a deep voice: "When we are discussing things, general, please don't interrupt!"
Seeing Li Hu like this, the lieutenant reluctantly swallowed the words that came to his lips.
The two traitors acting as military supervisors were responsible for listening without saying a word.
Li Hu smiled and said: "Shuzhou's wish to negotiate peace will be conveyed to me, Brother Jiang, don't worry."
Jiang Hong was very satisfied after hearing Li Hu's words and said: "That's good, that's good, and... I'm ashamed to say that when Shuzhou asked me to come over, I also wanted to give the general a word."
Li Hu heard Jiang Hong's words and asked, "I don't know what kind of words they are? Are you going to trouble Brother Jiang to speak?"
Jiang Hong coughed and said, "This has absolutely nothing to do with me, brother. It's what they insisted on telling me to convey to Brother Li. It's this sentence: Brother Li, you don't want your wife to know that you are guarding the border."
Did you also order an oiran?"
"You in Shuzhou also know this?" Li Hu was surprised at first. How many informants are buried in Shuzhou? And can they pass on the information?
Then Li Hu reacted again, his expression changed, "Shuzhou actually threatened me?!"
Jiang Hong quickly comforted him and said, "Brother Li, please calm down. This is not because I want to threaten Brother Li, but because Shuzhou wants to threaten Brother Li. As long as Brother Li doesn't do anything, we can both live in peace."
Li Hu snorted coldly when he heard Jiang Hong's words: "How can I, Li Hu, be afraid of this threat? Brother Jiang might as well go back and tell Shuzhou that they made a wrong calculation."
Li Hu's heart: woc! What should I do, what should I do, what should I do?!
Jiang Hong said, "It is up to General Li Hu to decide whether to negotiate peace or not."
The two young eunuchs who were supervising the army looked at each other and silently recorded in their hearts what Jiang Hong said just now.
Li Hu knew that as soon as Jiang Hong said these words, no matter what he said, he might make His Majesty feel that he compromised with the other party because he was threatened, so Jiang Hong said: "You should be cautious about negotiating peace.
I am just a general guarding a border town and has no right to make decisions. I will write to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make the decision. I am afraid it will not be up to me to decide whether to negotiate peace or continue the war."
Jiang Hong nodded when he heard Li Hu's words and said, "That's very good."
The eyes of the two chamberlains moved again, wondering what they were thinking.
Li Hu threw the blame for the peace negotiation to the emperor, so it was meaningless for Jiang Hong to stay here any longer. He stood up just to think of Li Hu's farewell.
After seeing Jiang Hong off, the two military supervisors who were the emperor's eyes and ears also said goodbye and left.
After all the irrelevant people had left, the deputy general said hurriedly: "General, I am very tight-lipped and I definitely did not spread the word about you ordering the courtesan."
Li Hu shook his head and said, "Of course I know it's not you."
The deputy general looked at Li Hu and said, "General, I see that you intend to negotiate for peace. Now the generals of the border army are holding back their energy to fight. If you negotiate for peace, you may not be able to convince the public."
Li Hu said: "Who said I want to negotiate for peace? Your Majesty said peace is for peace. If Your Majesty gives the order to continue the war, then continue the war, but... didn't you notice?"
The lieutenant asked; "What did you find?"
Li Hu said: "Just a young general guarding the city tower said that he could tell that the Shuzhou army's morale was unstable and that the stock of Zhentian Lei was insufficient. It was a good time to counterattack. If you think about it carefully, is there anything wrong with this?"
"This..." the deputy general murmured in thought: "It is indeed a bit public."
Li Hu said: "Now the whole army is looking forward to fighting out. Do you think this is Shuzhou's strategy? Just wait for us to take the initiative to attack."
When the deputy general heard this, he immediately changed his expression and said: "So the general is so far-sighted, I admire him!"
Li Hu said: "That's why I gave them a trick and reported the peace negotiation to Your Majesty. They threatened me with your sister-in-law's affairs in order to prevent me from telling Your Majesty what I was thinking and thereby confuse Your Majesty.
judge."
The deputy general immediately expressed his loyalty and said: "General, don't worry, for the happiness of you and your sister-in-law, I will never talk nonsense."
Li Hu said in a deep voice: "If you didn't seem to have nothing to do and arranged an oiran for me, why would you be like this!"
The deputy general scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard Li Hua's words and said, "The general is also afraid that you will be lonely, general... But if we don't put our conjectures forward, what if your majesty insists on fighting?"
Li Hu said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty won't fight. Even if you and I keep secret and don't report our conjectures to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will probably still negotiate for peace."
The deputy general thought for a while and murmured: "This is also true..."
Who in the world doesn't know that the emperor of Zhao State is the emperor who likes peace negotiations the most?
He is the kind of person who will never fight if he can negotiate for peace. No matter how fanciful the people in his ears say, your Majesty will never fight if he can make peace, even if he suffers some losses.
