Yu Wenzhao gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Shanxin.
Just want a safe life?
So why bother to come here and fight with you? If on the battlefield, So-and-so leads the guards of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to fight back, then not to mention saving lives, you will even have to reward So-and-so, or even continue to fight.
It is not impossible to be a general.
As a result, you are now negotiating for peace with your head high, just in exchange for being able to be an honest common man farming the land in the future?
Are you sure you're not kidding me?
These southern barbarians and island barbarians are indeed despicable and cunning.
Yu Wenzhao knew very well that he could either show Yu Wenxian such a treaty that was harmful to his own interests, or he could privately reach a treaty with Nanman to betray Yu Wenxian to protect himself. Either way, it would hurt his own interests.
The one that hurts is Yu Wenxian's interests. The latter seems to be a good choice, but this means that Yu Wenzhao and the other Zhou princes need to fight back when Yu Wenxian needs them most to completely cut off Yu Wenxian.
A chance for Xiandong to make a comeback.
When the time comes, Yu Wenzhao will of course save his own life and interests, but what he will lose will naturally be his reputation. When future generations talk about him in the history books, I am afraid that few will say that he abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, and more will say that he was a rebellious minister.
At this moment, how should I make a choice?
The emperor's brother was in the wrong position. He used the current land of Jizhou to resist the world. He wasted money and people, and it was like hitting a stone with an egg... What Xu Shanxin just said passed through Yuwenzhao's mind over and over again, making him momentarily confused.
Don't know what to say.
These words were like sharp blades, cutting into the inner walls of Yu Wenzhao. If he wanted to move from light to darkness, he had to find several reasons for himself.
There are still wives and children at home who are eagerly waiting to return. I cannot accept such conditions. After becoming a commoner, what ability do I have to support my family?
Xu Shanxin's words just now pushed him back, which shows that this is one of the big man's bottom lines, and there is no room for maneuver.
Now it's your turn to choose what to do.
Yu Wenzhao clenched his fists and looked up at Xu Shanxin.
Xu Shanxin had some free time and sat down across from him. He seemed to have already decided on Yu Wenzhao's choice, which made Yu Wenzhao feel even more uneasy.
He seems confident, why?
In fact, Bao Xing, who was sitting next to Xu Shanxin, also looked at the famous Xu Jun with some surprise. Why did Xu Shanxin look so confident? Could it be that he was so sure that Yu Wenzhao would definitely choose to reach some private agreement with the big man?
protocol?
However, Bao Xing also knew very well that he had to cooperate with Xu Shanxin as much as possible at this time, so he also sat upright and stared directly at Yuwen Zhao, as if he already had Yuwen Zhao in his hand.
"May I ask where your Majesty is at this time?" Yu Wenzhao decisively changed the subject.
As for the peace talks, why are you two alone? Can you two represent the Han Dynasty?
Xu Shanxin said calmly: "The war is imminent. Your Majesty has gone to the front to boost morale and prepare for the enemy. Naturally, I have no time to talk to His Highness. The terms are that my great Han Majesty has already achieved his goal, so please rest assured."
Yuwenzhao's expression changed even more.
Li Xingchen has already gone to the front line, which shows that the Han army is more likely to end this troubled times through war. If he cannot hurry up and come up with a definite plan with the Han people and show the sincerity of the Northern Zhou Dynasty for peace talks, then both sides
It is very likely that they will continue to compete on the battlefield.
The current Northern Zhou Dynasty cannot be defeated.
At that moment, Yu Wenzhao couldn't care less about Li Xingchen's presence or not, and said directly: "I have read the terms of it. His Majesty only retains the title and salary, which is too harsh. In my opinion, at least it should be practical.
The county is the land of our emperor. My emperor is willing to retire as the king of Qi and become a minister in the south. However, it does not mean that he will become a prisoner of your country. He should still be the honored guest of the king. Your country may move my emperor to Jiankang. There may be something wrong.
.”
Bao Xing said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Zhao still can't see the current situation clearly. The peace talks are just wishful thinking of your country. The great Han Tianwei, and today I bow to you, your country is just stubbornly resisting. Didn't your Highness see you on the way here?
I see, the strength of the Han army is not something your country can contend with, but my emperor is merciful and does not want to suffer any more casualties before agreeing to peace talks."
Mercy, Yu Wenzhao cursed in his heart, do you really think that this king is a poor scholar who doesn’t know how to fight? When the army marches and fights, every step forward and every extra day consumes a huge amount of manpower and material resources.
, if the man's family is rich enough, he won't care about the problem of more or less material.
Since the Han Dynasty agreed to the peace talks, it means that the material supplies of the Han Dynasty are not very abundant. Therefore, instead of risking an attack on the Northern Zhou Dynasty, especially in the protracted siege battles in Yecheng and Jinyang, it is better to negotiate with the Northern Zhou Dynasty and reduce the risk. If the siege battle
While it is going on, but the national strength is difficult to maintain, then the Han Dynasty will face a dilemma.
It is true that you have strong soldiers and horses, but without enough food and pay, what is the use of having strong soldiers and horses?
But of course Yu Wenzhao didn't dare to say this.
Comparing people with each other is annoying. Although the Han Dynasty is still struggling to support itself, it is much better than the Northern Zhou Dynasty anyway. Yu Wenzhao knows very well that in the Battle of Baigou, the food and salary of the Northern Zhou army can still be guaranteed, and that is because of the Jizhou family
The wealth that we have accumulated over the years is sufficient, but now it is all taken out by Yu Wenxian.
But even if the aristocratic families are really well-off, how can they be so well-off? In the three hundred years of troubled times, most of the aristocratic families that were once extremely wealthy have declined, and the few remaining ones are just hanging on. Compared with the political environment in the north,
Things are even worse in the south. The rise and fall of aristocratic families can only happen in a blink of an eye. At least the south can still have some buffers. For example, the Xie family of Chenjun who once dominated Jiangbiao has disappeared from everyone now, but the reputation of their ancestors is still there. Except for
At the beginning, everyone except Chen Shuling, the stupid young man, was very polite.
But in the north, can the former Boling Cui family still find anyone now? The Qinghe Cui family must rely on the breath of the Wenxi Pei family.
Now that Wenxi Pei family has rebelled with the Hedong family, the Jizhou family represented by the Cui family of Qinghe is extremely fragile. After being harvested by Yu Wenxian once, naturally it cannot bear the second time.
Therefore, in the Battle of Baigou, why did Yu Wenxian not drain the lake to catch the fish?
"Please forgive me for being rude. Your country's terms are unacceptable." Yu Wenzhao said in a deep voice.
No matter how fragile the Northern Zhou Dynasty is, at least it still has the strength to fight. It is okay to make Yu Wenxian surrender, but it is too much to ask him to really go to Jiankang Mansion to become an idle prince.
If the Han people insist that these terms remain unchanged, there will be no need to talk.
