Mr. Zhang pondered, "That is the capital of an enemy country after all. Take Gao You with you. If he wants to go back, I can't stop him. Wouldn't that be letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"
After entering the inner city, not to mention Gao You, even his life is in the hands of the Goguryeo royal court. This is equivalent to sending Gao You back, unless his heart is completely biased towards their Jin Dynasty.
Then there is the saying that he is in Cao's camp and his heart is in Han, but if not, Zhang Hui looked at Bai Shan, wouldn't this be giving Goguryeo a chip in his hand in vain?
Bai Shan sat on the chair very calmly. When he looked over, he raised his head and smiled at him.
He said: "To let the tiger return to the mountain, he has to be a tiger. How can Master Zhang know if he doesn't give it a try?"
Mr. Zhang was still hesitating, "Your Majesty..."
Bai Shan lowered his eyes and straightened his clothes, stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's original intention was to use him for peace talks just in case the Eastern Expedition failed, but now that we have captured half of Goguryeo, his original role is no longer needed.
.If Mr. Zhang is interested, I can go with you to meet with His Majesty."
This is the option you seek in wealth insurance.
With Gao You, his probability of success is higher, but the probability of failure is also higher, and the benefits and risks increase at the same time.
Zhang Hui turned around twice and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then please invite Mr. Bai to come with me to meet His Majesty."
Bai Shan simply went with him directly to ask for an audience with the emperor.
On the way, Zhang Hui couldn't help but ask him, "How did Mr. Bai...convince Prince Gaowu?"
If he knew more about it, he would be able to persuade the other party.
"I seem to have heard someone say that Master Bai and Prince Gaowu are old acquaintances, and they had a good relationship when they were in the capital?"
Bai Shandao: "Lord Zhang must have heard wrongly. The old acquaintance is true. In the early years, I met Prince Gaowu when he was on his first mission to the capital. We had a very good relationship with him. We must have met him four or five times.
"
We met each other four or five times in the capital, but there was no friendship at all.
He and Bai Shan saw each other more than once in court and off every day, but they still had little friendship.
Zhang Hui felt that the relationship between them needed to be repaired, so he smiled and said to Bai Shan: "Master Bai, I am about to go on a mission. Before I go out, may I treat you to a meal with Master Zhou?"
"Master Zhang, you don't have to be polite," Bai Shan said with a smile: "Neither my wife nor I like to drink. Naturally, good things should be reserved for those who understand them. Master Zhang, you can invite Duke Zhao and others."
Forget it, he had already drank all the wine, and even if he hadn't drank all the wine, he wouldn't be able to invite them. How many sips of wine would he have left in his mouth?
The emperor really doesn't care much about Gao You now. He is still locked up now not because of how valuable he is, but because he is a bargaining chip in his hand. Although it is tasteless, he cannot be given directly to the other party, right?
But if the minister was useful, even if it was possible to give him a son back for free, he agreed without much hesitation.
For Goguryeo, it was quite important whether this was a prince, but for Jin, this was just a prince from Goguryeo.
When the war is going smoothly, he is of little use.
The emperor agreed with a wave of his hand, but how to persuade Gao You to use it for himself was a matter of seal.
Zhang Hui inquired a lot about Gao You from Bai Shan. Although he said he didn't have much friendship with Gao You, he must have a deep understanding of Gao You to be able to deceive such an important jade pendant from him.
So he stared at him.
Bai Shan thought for a while and then said: "You Gao is a narrow-minded, short-sighted, profit-seeking person. It is difficult to convince him by coercion. Incentives are good, but don't let him be too proud to avoid bad things."
Zhang Hui: "...He doesn't have any advantages?"
Bai Shan thought about it seriously and then asked: "Can you bend or stretch?"
They are just like grass on the wall, they can be swayed by the wind. Such people are the most difficult to control, and also the easiest to control. Whoever is altruistic will take sides.
"But he has a companion who is not bad in knowledge and has some knowledge. If I were Mr. Zhang, I would not take him with me on this mission."
Zhang Hui's eyes flashed and he understood, "Let him be isolated and helpless?"
Bai Shan smiled and nodded.
"Okay," Zhang Hui tidied up his official uniform and said to Bai Shan, "Then I will go and meet Prince Gao now."
After Bai Shan bowed, he excused himself and went back to his tent.
Man Bao had already exchanged his clothes and was about to go find him. When he saw him coming back, he pulled him in.
She said: "This is the dress. You can put it on now and wear it next to your body."
Bai Shan touched it and couldn't tell what kind of material the clothes were made of. Moreover, the style was very strange, with no hem or anything.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Is this my father-in-law's own?"
Man Bao said: "...I exchanged it with someone else."
Bai Shan nodded and said to Man Bao: "You ask my father-in-law to wait until Anshi City is captured. I will ask people to look around for any strange things around here, flowers, plants, trees, insects, fish, and birds that we have never seen before."
Beast, buy it and give it to him when the time comes."
Man Bao immediately nodded and said: "Okay, okay."
Then he added: "But don't spend too much money."
Keke:……
Bai Shan got dressed. It was getting cold now, so it was not obvious at all to have such an extra piece of clothing underneath.
Man Bao asked him, "When will you go there?"
"The letter has been submitted. There should be news before dark. If they agree, I will go directly to see the second-year prince. If not, then I will have to meet some people quietly."
Man Bao frowned: "Is it dangerous?"
Bai Shan didn't take it seriously, "The possibility of this is very small. If I were the second-year prince, at this time, even if I would not surrender, I would still meet the envoys. I could wait for reinforcements as long as I could."
"Zhao Guo Guo will cease the war?"
Bai Shan thought for a while and then said: "Probably not, but His Majesty has given word that there will be no large-scale attack."
Then there is a buffer space.
Sure enough, before dark, a letter came from the other side, agreeing to come and negotiate.
Bai Shan made preparations, bid farewell to the emperor early the next morning, and led his people to the other side.
Yuan Yi came to pick up the envoy with his troops and horses. When he saw that the envoy was a young man, he couldn't help but frown. Is he so young and in his prime?
Bai Shan smiled and saluted Yuan Yi, and said: "General Yuan, I am Bai Shan from the middle school, please give me some advice from General Yuan."
When Yuan Yi heard about his official position, he didn't dare to be rude. He dismounted from his horse, made a fist and returned the salute, then turned sideways and said, "Master Bai, please."
Bai Shan mounted his horse and led his team across the middle checkpoint into another city. He did not look back, but he also knew that Man Bao was watching him.
Man Bao stood on a building, watching him slowly disappear on the street on horseback. When Zhao Guogong saw that the envoy team had entered safely, he turned to go downstairs. He turned around and saw Zhou Man still looking over there, and paused.
For a moment.
After thinking about it, he comforted the other party, "Don't be sad. They are not very courageous. They should not dare to hurt our envoys. The most they can do is arrest Bai Shan and threaten us."
