Yu Wenzhao obviously doesn't know where Yu Wenxian's bottom line is, and it's very possible that even Yu Wenxian himself doesn't know what kind of conditions he can accept.
After a daytime battle, the Northern Zhou army had actually fully exposed the characteristics of being strong on the outside and hard on the inside. Even Liu Xiuzheng, who had not witnessed all this, learned that the counterattack of the Northern Zhou army with absolute strength was eventually repelled by the Han army.
, Liu Xiuzheng actually gave up hope that the Northern Zhou army could win the Battle of Baigou.
Even Yu Wenxian sent people to come for peace talks, which Liu Xiuzheng expected.
It's just that Yu Wenzhao's attitude exceeded Liu Xiuzheng's expectations.
It stands to reason that Yu Wenzhao should actively work hard for the survival of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the King Zhao in front of him seems to be sightseeing in the battlefield?
Yu Wenxian did nothing wrong by sending Yu Wenzhao to come for peace talks. Now there are only a few people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty who can trust Yu Wenxian. But Liu Xiuzheng looked at the obviously decadent His Highness King Zhao and felt that Yu Wenxian was trusting someone.
.
However, Yu Wenzhao didn't seem to notice this. After quickly eating the vegetable dumpling, he said directly: "Brother Huang, sir, you should also see from the letter that the war situation is unfavorable now. If we continue to fight, we will only be defeated."
We don’t even have the strength to parry, so this peace negotiation is not the emperor’s brother’s plan to delay the war, but his sincerity. However, this does not mean that I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have no strength to fight. If the Nanman refuses to agree, we are not afraid.
The fish is dead and the net is broken!”
Liu Xiuzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Is the fish dead and the net broken? I am afraid that the current Han military is eager for this war to continue. After so many years in the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiuzheng is very aware of the internal conflicts of the Han Dynasty. The military does not care about the consumption of money, as long as it can win and establish more meritorious deeds.
, those civil servants are working extremely hard, so the best hope for a truce actually lies with those civil servants.
However, the conditions Yu Wenxian proposed now were in a new place, and Liu Xiuzheng did not think that Chen Shushen and other civil servants would accept them.
Now we can only make an offer first, and then wait for the other party to counteroffer. Otherwise, if we can't even grasp the bottom line and basic attitude of the Han people, then there will be no need for this negotiation.
"His Highness came late at night and must be tired. We still need to go all out for the peace talks tomorrow." Liu Xiuzheng tried his best to look calm.
Before Yu Wenzhao could answer, the curtain of the camp was opened, and Liu Xiuzheng's confidant came in. He stepped forward and whispered: "Sir, Mr. Xu sent someone to say that His Majesty the Han Dynasty has revised a letter.
Sir, please send us to Dazhou Yingzhai as soon as possible."
Liu Xiuzheng's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but frown: "You want me to go to the North Bank?"
Of course, Yu Wenzhao next to him also heard: "What does this mean?"
Liu Xiuzheng glanced at Yu Wenzhao. The peace talks hadn't started yet. Is there anything that had to be done that even required him to go there in person? But what Northern Zhou needed most now was sincerity. Since Li Xingchen was the one who revised the book himself, it would be natural to do so.
Someone of sufficient importance needs to be sent across Baigou. Yu Wenzhao was the envoy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so naturally he was not suitable, so Liu Xiuzheng was left.
This is to separate yourself, why?
Could it be that Yu Wenzhao and Da Han had already conspired with each other, so they had to avoid him before they could discuss it?
But what kind of conspiracy is it that needs to be hidden from Yu Wenxian’s confidant?
Could it be...
"Sir?" Yu Wenzhao saw Liu Xiuzheng lost in thought and couldn't help but shouted out of curiosity.
Liu Xiuzheng came back to his senses and waved his hand: "It's okay. Since the Han people also attach great importance to it, it at least means that there is nothing to talk about. Then I will go to the camp in person tomorrow. Counting that, I and Your Majesty already have a relationship.
I haven’t seen him for four or five years, so I should still meet with His Majesty and report the situation.”
Yuwenzhao felt that Liu Xiuzheng's reaction was a bit strange, but seeing that Liu Xiuzheng had already said that, Yuwenzhao naturally couldn't say anything more.
Liu Xiuzheng stood up and said: "This matter is of great importance. I will cross the river to our army camp now, but I don't know when I will be able to come back. I am afraid that the peace talks must be left to His Highness first."
Leave now, go early and come back early, otherwise things will change if you are late.
Yu Wenzhao nodded: "It's your job, sir, please don't worry."
Anyway, Yu Wenzhao knew the specific conditions, so he didn't have any stage fright. If they couldn't reach an agreement, they would just delay and wait for Liu Xiuzheng to come back.
Yuwenzhao's full agreement made Liu Xiuzheng feel even more weird, but he could only say solemnly: "Everyone in the Zhou Dynasty will be prosperous and suffer losses. I also believe that with your highness's intelligence, I will not let down your majesty's trust."
.”
What he said was even more bizarre, leaving Monk Yuwen Zhaozhang at a loss for words. However, he felt that it was Liu Xiuzheng who was feeling something. Anyway, he was being praised, so he just had to accept it.
Liu Xiuzheng became increasingly worried when he saw Yu Wenzhao's unchanged expression.
Does His Highness King Zhao understand nothing or understand everything?
Either way, it's very disturbing.
I hope that this reminder of mine can remind him of His Majesty's kindness, and at least he will not do anything to disgrace His Majesty.
When the tent curtains were opened, the night was dark. Even though it was almost summer, the wind still carried a bit of chill, and the road ahead was extremely dark.
Liu Xiuzheng sighed deeply. Isn't Da Zhou walking on this path at this time?
I'm afraid even His Majesty, who has always been resourceful, doesn't know what's ahead, right?
In the past, Liu Xiuzheng often regarded himself as a hermit, thinking that he was an outsider in the overall situation of the world. He only watched the changes in the world with a cold eye. However, since accepting Yu Wenxian's mission to go to Jiangnan, he found that he was gradually no longer the
He is a bystander, but a player in the game. He wants to control the general trend of the world and the lives of all living beings, but in the end he discovers that he is just a pawn.
The situation inside and outside the situation was changing so fast that Liu Xiuzheng himself could not see clearly. He could only go with the flow and let the current of the times push him forward.

I visited the patients in the hospital in the middle of the night and "consoled" a few wives and concubines who had worked hard. This was part of the plan, but Yu Wenxian sent someone to come for peace talks. This was really not part of the plan, so this time
After all the fuss, it was past midnight.
After simply washing his face, Li Xingchen didn't even take off his clothes and lay down on the bed.
Yu Chizhen had been sleeping for a while, but without Li Xingchen beside her, she probably didn't sleep very deeply. Although Li Xingchen tried his best to be as gentle as possible, he still woke her up. At this time, he came over in a daze: "Your Majesty,
When did you come back?"
Li Xingchen took her over and said, "It's long past time."
"What's going on at the hospital? Why is it so slow?" Yu Chizhen asked worriedly, "Would you like me to go over and help?"
