Although Zuo Zhou has no real diplomatic experience, if you ask what kind of negotiation is a serious negotiation?
He would answer that there must be a very excessive treaty, there must be forces that want to sabotage the peace talks, and there must be a third party that is nominally a mediator but actually has no role... Well, that's basically it.
Zuo Zhou thought about it again and again, like a candidate who always feels that he is right after answering the papers in the examination room.
No problem, what is there to muddy the waters in this peace negotiation? All three aspects need to delay time. Apart from superficial quarrels, everyone may even be full of politeness.
In such a confused state, Zuo Zhou entered the Xuan Mansion in advance of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the local officials were responsible for the reception. Two days later, Yu Qian from the Ming Dynasty arrived first.
On the earth next door, Yu Qian is also a famous historical official. It is not an exaggeration to call him a national hero. Zuo Zhou really wants to meet him. If the emperor of Qin is still the one who reigns, then he can't wait to bring all the famous officials in the world.
Winning over Da Qin. But now that it is Hu Hai's turn, he has no ambitions, and Zuo Zhou is not interested in playing with him.
"General Lee"
"Yu Shoufu"
The two of them still had bright smiles. Yu Qian was a rather thin old man, but Zuo Zhou knew that in terms of age, this man was only in his fifties, which was considered the age of a backbone in the courts of various countries.
Zuo Zhou was a little surprised that he looked so old.
Behind Yu Qian is a somewhat fat man, Yan Yu, another envoy from the Ming Dynasty. His armors are all specially made, and his protruding belly makes him not dignified at all. It is difficult for you to imagine such an image.
What kind of general will he be and what abilities will he have?
However, Zuo Zhou realized in a blink of an eye that the national conditions of each country are different. For example, there are not many armies like Da Qin that fight steadily, never lack food and clothing, and have strong combat effectiveness. Other countries more or less have similar military capabilities
There is a problem, so for many generals, long-lasting endurance is very important.
The most intuitive manifestation of endurance is fat. And having fat does not mean that being fat is unhealthy. In fact, fat will definitely account for a large proportion of normal people. People who are muscular and thin are often unhealthy.
.
It’s not that Qin’s generals are unhealthy, it’s just that they don’t need to worry about logistical supplies and other issues, so in terms of body shape, Qin’s generals are thinner than those of other countries.
"This must be General Yan Yu, he is indeed a young hero."
"..."
Zuo Zhou's words made Yan Yu a little confused as to how to reply. In terms of age, I am older than you!
"General Li is ridiculously complimentary." You are strong and everything you say is right.
Yu Qian laughed and took over the task of chatting. He said that it was thanks to Zuo Zhou that the other party became the chief assistant. The original chief assistant was Ye Xianggao, Ye Min's father and the head of the country. And Ye Min was the former chief assistant.
Zhao Zheng's lover, after Zhao Zheng's death, Zhu Qizhen gave Ye Min a white silk ribbon and ransacked Ye Xianggao's home on charges of corruption and perversion of law, which was how Yu Qian rose to power.
This matter is quite embarrassing for Mingguo, but Zhu Qizhen doesn't care. It's unclear whether Yu Qian cares. Anyway, he seems to be quite enthusiastic now.
However, Yu Qian was obviously very measured. He didn't talk about anything about the country at all. He talked nonsense the whole time, and it didn't come to an end until he felt thirsty.
At night, Marquis Lu Qing found him.
"General, this is tomorrow's schedule. Check to see if there are any problems."
"Why are you showing me this?" Zuo Zhou took the list handed over by Lu Qinghou. In addition to being present during the negotiations, he also had to attend some banquets held by both parties...
Zuo Zhou's mind immediately thought of the kind of upper-class cocktail parties in the Earth next door where men and women were holding wine glasses and wearing dresses. Unfortunately, the gorgeous dresses of girls in this world are not the kind that become less and less in time.
Moreover, it is impossible to allow men and women to come into contact with each other to that extent, so it should be in a form similar to a cultural gathering.
"Has Lao Di got the message?"
"Come here, tell me everything will be done according to the general's opinion."
"What the hell is the difference between not coming?"
"It should mean that there will be no more news from me in the future."
"..."
…
"Are you the secret agent named Xuan from Hulong Villa?"
After all, Xuanfu is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, where the Ming Dynasty's mission is stationed. They still have very strong control here, and no one knows if they really want to do something secretly.
At this time, Yu Qian and Yan Yu met Shangguan Haitang, the secret agent of Hulong Villa, in an inner room.
He was dressed in men's clothing and holding a folding fan, looking rather like a wealthy man.
"I've met Mr. Yu and Mr. Yan. The plan has been launched. All we need to do is delay it as long as possible."
Shangguan Haitang's eyes were full of confidence, and he seemed to be very sure of the so-called plan.
Yu Qian was very satisfied with the arrangements at Hulong Villa, "Don't worry, Dorgon is eager for us to delay the process! I don't need to do anything at all, I just need to follow their pace."
Gu Xuan
"I feel wronged, Chief Minister." Shangguan Haitang gave a slight salute, and then said: "Due to the lack of high-end power, Shenhou needs to stay in the capital, and the defense force on this side may be lacking. If you are in an emergency, you can go to the Great Qin Envoy
Seek asylum at the regiment."
Yu Qian felt helpless when he heard this and sighed: "It is obviously our own territory, but when we encounter danger, we still have to borrow the power of the Great Qin envoy to pretend to be a tiger. It's really sad to think about it."
Shangguan Haitang seemed to be able to understand the chief assistant's dilemma, and said hurriedly: "According to the intelligence from our Dragon Guard Villa, it seems that people from the Ruyang Palace have sneaked into the Xuan Palace, but they don't have any experts. We are just prepared, so we should
There is no danger."
Yu Qian nodded and thought for a moment before asking: "What do you think of Li Yuanfang... Shenhou? It is said that he was able to kill the masters of the Earth Ranking in the innate realm, and now he has been promoted to the Human Ranking... Why is this kind of genius always born in Great Qin?
"
Yan Yu smiled and said: "The chief assistant does not need to control other people's ambitions. Our Ming Dynasty also has masters and many talented people. I have a brother who is the number one master of the Huashan Sword Sect. He once expressed his willingness to be loyal to the country. As long as
If the imperial court is willing to spare its resources, there will definitely be someone on the local list in the future."
Yu Qian looked at him thoughtfully, "Is your brother Feng Wubei from the Huashan Sword Sect?"
"It's this person."
"As far as I know, this Feng Wubei should be an exile."
Before Yan Yu could speak, he heard Shangguan Haitang continue: "That's right. According to the information from our Hulong Villa, Feng Wubei is indeed an exile and he himself has not covered up the matter."
"Exiles..." Yu Qian obviously had concerns, but he didn't say it clearly. He just continued: "In short, I will act according to the opportunity and try to delay the other party. As for the plan, it all depends on you two."
…
The next day, Dorgon also arrived at Xuanfu, and Zuo Zhou, as the mediator, also had enough face to go out of the city to greet him.
"Ah hahaha, long time no see, General Li."
"Yes, it has been a while since we parted ways in the capital of Song Dynasty. I think you are living a very comfortable life."
Simple greetings are essential, Dorgon said casually, "We in the Qing Dynasty have always admired heroes the most. Your Excellency, who killed Song Huizong, is a great hero in our eyes, but we don't know if the great hero is interested in living in our Qing Dynasty permanently?
The thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in our Qing Dynasty are quite magnificent!"
Zuo Zhou is so funny, why are you drunk before you even drink? "I'm busy with worldly affairs, so it's impossible for now. If the day comes, I will let you fulfill your duty as a landlord."
"Hahaha, General Li is so happy!"
After sending Dorgon to the arranged station, Lu Qinghou looked a little strange, "He... is he trying to win over you? You shouldn't be tempted, right? I told you that being a minister of the Qing Dynasty requires pigtails.
Very ugly!”
Zuo Zhou rolled his eyes, "Go and prepare the banquet when you have time. Don't always think about things that are not available."
Zuo Zhou waved his hand and pushed Marquis Lu Qing away. As the mediator, they must host the first banquet. However, seeing how Dorgon was not in a hurry just now, Marquis Lu Qing probably had enough time to prepare.
Another day passed without any of the three parties in a hurry. At night, a scent of fragrant wind lingered in his nose. Zuo Zhou raised his head slightly and saw a pair of familiar shoes.
"Sister, have you never washed these shoes?"
Wanwan squatted on the window frame. Fortunately, her skirt covered most of her legs, otherwise this posture would be unsightly.
"I thought that junior brother had a new person and forgot about the old one, but I didn't expect to remember senior sister!"
Hey, what's this little grievance about?
"Have you met Jiang Yuyan?" Zuo Zhou couldn't stop laughing. Jiang Yuyan's kung fu was now unknowingly very strong. Wanwan, who used to come and go like the wind without a trace, could not get around her so easily, and everything came to her.
Jiang Yuyan would not look down upon the woman who seduced Zuo Zhou.
"Hmph, who is the maid in charge of your house looking at? It's as if she has never seduced you."
"Sister, by saying this, are you admitting that you are seducing me?"
"Aren't they always seducing?"
Wanwan winked playfully. After hearing this, Zuo Zhou stood up and hugged her waist, but as expected, she dodged him.
"Hey, it's boring to just talk without practicing the fake moves!"
"Hmph, I don't mind having a rough time with my junior brother, but the master won't let me. If she lets her know that you got Wanwan, I'm afraid she will teach you a lesson!" Wanwan said with a look of 'I'm doing it for you.
' look like.
Zuo Zhou curled his lips, "What are you afraid of? She can't beat me."
"Wow, what a loving mother and filial son!"
"What are you doing here?" Zuo Zhou suddenly felt bored after not taking advantage.
"The spies from the Demon Sect received information that someone from the Ruyang Palace came to the Xuan Mansion. In addition, some killers from the Ten Kill Sect have also been active recently. Although it seems to be normal business, it cannot be ruled out that it is a cover.
"
Zuo Zhou scratched his cheek and thought for a moment, "The killers of the Ten Kills Clan are mostly blinders, so don't just stare at them. As for the Ruyang Palace... as long as there are no members of the Ten Kills Clan among them, they will not disrupt the peace talks."
