Looking at Yuan Shu's livid face, Yan Xiang hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and said: "My lord, Huainan and Lujiang are the foundation for our army to march to Jiangdong. If they are ceded, it will be difficult to plot Jiangdong!"
Yuan Shu groaned and said: "How could I not know? What a pity..."
Although he didn't say anything further, Yan Xiang also knew that Yuan Shu and his important ministers were now trapped in Dantu. If Liu Yao didn't help and Qingtian City pressed forward step by step, even if Yuan Shu could escape in the end, these advisers and generals would not be able to escape.
The loss is in no way comparable to the loss of Lujiang and Huainan counties.
The reason why Liu Yao dared to ask for a high price was because of this reason. He was not afraid that Yuan Shu would not agree.
"In that case, why not seek peace with Qingtian?" After hesitating for a moment, Yan Xiang said bravely.
"What!?" Yuan Shu's originally livid face became even more livid. He stared at Yan Xiang coldly and said in a cold voice, "You want me to bow my head to that rebellious minister and traitor!?"
The gap between Yuan Shu and Qin Tian had been laid before Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and his only son was killed. Afterwards, in front of Hulao Pass, Yuan Shu was suppressed intentionally or unintentionally, and Yuan Shu was defeated. Although Chen Lan died in China
What Xiong held had nothing to do with Qin Tian, but Yuan Shu still placed the blame on Qin Tian.
This time, although Yuan Shu took the initiative to initiate the battle, Yuan Shu did not think that he had done anything wrong. However, Qin Tian burned his 100,000 troops to death one after another, and the two generals even cut off his own escape route, leaving him
How can I swallow this breath?
"No!" Seeing that Yuan Shu had a tendency to go berserk, Yan Xiang had cold sweat on his forehead and quickly explained: "It's not that he bowed his head, it's just a temporary compromise."
"Is there any difference?" Yuan Shu stared at Yan Xiang coldly, the coldness in his voice making people shudder.
"There is a difference!" Yan Xiang stabilized his mind, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Lord Dragon is trapped in the shoal, it is all due to a momentary mistake. In terms of losses, Qingtian first strengthened the wall and cleared the field, coupled with the continuous battles
, the people of Wu County have been scattered, and the losses may not be smaller than that of our army. Although our army is trapped here, with men and horses depleted, it has not lost at all. However, Qingtian has really shaken its foundation and needs to recuperate more than us.
!”
Yuan Shu's originally livid face softened a little with Liu Yao's words. Yan Xiang took a secret glance and knew that Yuan Shu had been persuaded. He was secretly happy and continued: "Moreover, even if our army loses both sides, can we return to you?"
Nan, for a while, was unable to attack again, but in the end it was Liu Yao who gained the advantage. My lord, do you think that Wu County, after losing both sides with our army, is capable of blocking Liu Yao's attack?"
"I'm afraid not." Yuan Shu shook his head and joked. This is an army of 300,000. Even though they have lost a lot these days, there are still 200,000. If they fight hard, even if Qin Tian can win, it will only be a miserable victory. Why?
Could it be possible to stop Liu Yao, who is eyeing him?
"If Liu Yao captures Wu Commandery and uses Xu Zi's ability as a general, Wang Lang of Kuaiji may not be his opponent. If Liu Yao takes advantage of our army to recuperate and recuperate, he invades Jiangdong in one fell swoop. If my lord wants to plot Jiangdong again, I'm afraid..." Yan Xiang
He didn't continue talking. At this point, unless he was a fool, how could he not understand what he meant? It was clear at a glance which one was easier to deal with, a complete Jiangdong and a fragmented Jiangdong.
"Okay, as the military advisor said, who is willing to go to Qingtian?" Yuan Shu took a deep breath and finally made the decision.
Everyone in the tent, including Ji Ling, also breathed a sigh of relief. What they were most afraid of was that Yuan Shu couldn't think about it and started fighting with Qin Tian. After hearing the second half of the sentence, everyone stared at each other in confusion. For a moment,
No one said anything harsh, and what they said was true, but after all, there was a certain risk. After all, the fight was to death just a moment ago. Who knows if the other party might not be able to think about it for a moment and chop off his head?
Yan Xiang took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "I am willing to go!"
"The military advisor is truly a loyal minister! A certain meeting ordered Ji Ling to lead 30,000 troops and go with the army to protect the military advisor!" Yuan Shu couldn't help but sigh. At this time, no matter what he felt in his heart, he must at least express his attitude.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Although Qingtian is a traitor, the two countries are at war and will not kill the envoys. I went to seek peace. I expected that he would not make things difficult for me!" Yan Xiang shook his head.
Yuan Shu took a deep breath, walked out from behind the desk, and bowed deeply to Yan Xiang, but was blocked by Yan Xiang. Yuan Shu looked at Yan Xiang deeply and said in a deep voice: "Come on, military advisor, if there is any
If anything unexpected happens, even if we give up this inheritance, we will still have to fight to the death with that Qingtian!".
Whether it was false or true, in short, Yuan Shu's rebuke not only moved Yan Xiang to death, but also the counselors in the tent were also deeply moved.
Yan Xiang took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Yuan Shu, and then said to everyone in the tent: "If anything happens to Xiang, please do your best to protect me from danger!"
…
Qin Tian was very satisfied with the battle in Qu'a. Although he failed to completely annihilate Yuan Shu, Xu Rong stuck Yuan Shu firmly in the Dantu area, limiting Yuan Shu's room for movement.
As for the loss of hundreds of players' territories, Qin Tian didn't ask a question. At this point, is it necessary to ask? Qin Tian is not a fire brigade. Since you don't believe me, you even want to step on me at the critical moment.
One kick, why should I care about your life and death?
Originally, when Dantu came to Qu'a, there were more than seventy town-level player cities alone. But now, there are basically no town-level players' territories left. Although the total population of Wu County has declined, Qu'a has
, Wuxi and Piling have many more refugees. They were all gathered automatically after these players' territories were destroyed by Yuan Shu. Qin Tian's strength not only did not lose, but actually increased.
Now, there is basically no decent player territory in this area.
But when Qin Tian saw the mountain range that was burned by Xu Rong, he was quite speechless. For 50,000 troops, what? In history, Zhuge Liang's burning of Bowang Slope was probably not so terrifying? Based on this alone
At one point, Xu Rong's murderous intention is probably much greater than Zhuge Liang's.
However, Qin Tian didn't say anything. No matter what, although this fire did not cause Yuan Shu to suffer too much loss of troops, in fact, it burned Yuan Shu's military morale. Otherwise, it would not be possible to use one hundred thousand
The strength of the troops forcefully suppressed Yuan Shu's 200,000-strong army. Yuan Shu must be feeling aggrieved now.
"Lord!" Seeing Qin Tian's return, Huang Gai, Guan Hai and other generals hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Generals, there is no need to be polite! There is something I need to discuss with you." Qin Tian waved his hand, strode to the main seat and sat down. After everyone sat down, Qin Tian briefly explained what he was doing behind Yuan Shu.
Said it once.
Hiss~
Listening to Qin Tian's plain explanation, all the generals in the tent, including Xu Rong, couldn't help but gasp. The effect of Qin Tian's move was definitely more obvious than the effect they had been fighting to death these days. Although
Knowing that Qin Tian was unlikely to lie, Xu Rong couldn't help but confirm: "General, are you serious about what you said!?"
As soon as these words came out, Huang Gai and others immediately looked at him angrily.
"It's absolutely true." Qin Tian said with a smile: "Generals, there is no need to doubt this matter. Now I want to ask you, what should the current situation be like?"
Xu Rong said in a deep voice: "General, if this is the case, I suggest that the general negotiate peace with Yuan Shu!"
"Meet peace!?" Huang Gai and others couldn't help but frowned and looked at Xu Rong dissatisfied. After fighting for so long and seeing that Yuan Shu's path was cut off, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to negotiate peace at this time?
Qin Tian waved his hand, indicating that everyone should not say anything, looked at Xu Rong and said, "Why do you say that?"
"Yes, although our army severely damaged Yuan Shu, please don't forget that after this battle in Wu County, the people's morale has been scattered, and with the destruction of Dantu City, our army's losses are actually no less than Yuan Shu's!" Xu Rong said solemnly.
Everyone couldn't help but rolled their eyes. The destruction of Dantu City was not caused by you? Thank you for having the nerve to say so.
"Although Yuan Shu was defeated, behind him were Yuzhou, Lujiang, Huainan, and hundreds of cities. As long as Yuan Shu returns, we can quickly recover from the losses in this battle. But even if we drive away Yuan Shu, how long will it take to recover?"
The loss of our army?”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but fell silent. The loss of food, grass, and resources could be made up for by the large amount of food, grass and baggage Qin Tian brought back this time, and he even made a lot of money. However, the loss of people's hearts will take time to slowly heal.
Peace, even with the help of counselors with the characteristics of reassuring the people, it will take some time to stabilize.
"If we negotiate peace with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu will be more urgent than us at this time. Our army will take the initiative. Not only can we restore stability in Wu County as soon as possible, but we can also get a lot of money." Xu Rong said solemnly.
After saying this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Okay, just as Brother Xu said, Jiang Jin, you immediately return to Qingtian City, take my general order, lead another 10,000 naval troops, and five warships to support Ling Cao, block the river, and create oppression!" Qin Tian nodded.
, to Jiang Jindao.
"Here!" Jiang Jin responded, took the command arrow from Qin Tian's hand, turned around and left.
Qin Tian's move was just to put pressure on Yuan Shu, but on Liu Yao's side, Qin Tian was in a bit of a dilemma. He sent people to inform Liu Yao not to let Yuan Shu leave? Let's not say whether Liu Yao would listen, just based on that ridiculous face
Covenant, Qin Tian could not guarantee that his people would come back alive.
But in this case, there is no guarantee that Liu Yao will not join forces with Yuan Shu. If Liu Yao and himself have to choose a reconciliation, even if Liu Yao offers higher conditions, Yuan Shu will probably choose Liu Yao. After all, there is hatred in this battle.
Not to mention, he and Yuan Shu still have a murderous feud.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed. At this moment, a junior high school officer suddenly came in in a hurry, entered the tent, knelt on one knee in front of Qin Tian, and said respectfully: "My lord, Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu's counselor, is asking for an audience outside the tent.
!”
"pass!"
Qin Tian and Xu Rong looked at each other and could see the joy in each other's eyes.
