At the end of October in the fifth year of Chengping.

Cao Cao, Qin Hui, Heshen and thousands of envoys arrived safely in Japan.

Emperor Meiji, accompanied by a group of daimyo, welcomed him in front of the Tokyo castle.

Many Japanese people were forced to come and watch.

This is destined to be another day of shame for them.

In the history of Japan, this surrender negotiation is also known as the Treaty of Tokyo.

This was the beginning of Japan never being able to hold its head up in front of China.

Among the three representatives of the Qin envoy team, Cao Cao had the highest status as the King of Wei, so he became the leader of this trip.

Emperor Meiji stood before him, bowed deeply, and said, "King Wei of the Qin Dynasty, I know you.

When the State of Chu invaded your State of Qin, it was you who repelled Chu. You were even praised by the people of Qin as the first commander of Qin."

To be honest, the strategic significance of Cao Cao's defeat of the State of Chu was greater than defeating the State of Japan.

After all, the former was already facing the situation of the country's destruction and the family's ruin at that time.

If the State of Chu had not been repelled, there would have been no subsequent expedition to Japan.

The Qin Dynasty would no longer exist.

Therefore, Cao Cao's military achievements are far greater than those of all the Qin soldiers present.

At present, Emperor Meiji still calls himself "朕".

But after being conferred the title by Ying Yuan's imperial decree, he could no longer call himself "I".

His status could only be equal to that of Cao Cao, and he called himself "Gu".

After hearing the translator's voice, Cao Cao laughed and said, "It seems that Emperor Meiji doesn't know much about the history of our Great Qin.

Although it was indeed me who defeated the State of Chu that year, it was not me who truly led to the victory of that war.

It is the Emperor of our Great Qin. If Emperor Meiji has time in the future, he can go and pay homage to our Emperor.

By then, you will know how wise and powerful our Majesty is."

In such an important diplomatic occasion between the two countries, every word and action of Cao Cao would be heard by Ying Yuan.

So, if not now, when?

Heshen, who was standing behind Cao Cao at this time, also wanted to say something.

But he was afraid of breaking the rules and being inappropriate, so he could only keep it in his heart, so he just silently said a few words in his heart, "Your Majesty is wise."

Those who are truly proficient in flattery will not only speak the flattering words, but also keep them in mind.

If Ying Yuan heard what Cao Cao said, he might be angry.

But if he heard Heshen's flattery, he would definitely be happy.

In the entire country, he could only accept Heshen's flattery, but not anyone else.

After all, if one day Heshen stopped praising himself, it would mean that Heshen's corrupt official attributes had disappeared.

That definitely won’t work.

Emperor Meiji nodded solemnly and said, "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely go.

I also want to see what kind of person is able to win the loyalty and loyalty of so many talented generals."

Cao Cao said solemnly, "To us, our Emperor is a god, our common faith."

In the eyes of Huo Guang and even himself, as long as Ying Yuan is alive, the land where the Qin Dynasty is located will always be named Ying.

Only Ying Yuan can lead the Qin Dynasty to another level.

...

In the Qin army camp.

Cao Cao conveyed Ying Yuan's intention to the generals.

In addition to the conditions that Huo Qubing had previously stated to the emperor, they added a few more.

In short, if Japan really agreed to the conditions required by Qin, then the losses it would suffer would be far greater than the losses it would suffer in a war.

That's actually what war is all about.

War is a game of the dead and another manifestation of politics.

Those who died were the sons of ordinary people, living at the bottom of society.

Is the death of some people a problem for the current government?

no.

What really gives the government a headache is the series of unbearable consequences that will result from losing this war.

Huo Guang said, "Since Your Majesty has asked the King of Wei, the Prime Minister of Qin, and the Minister of State to preside over the meeting, then you should go ahead and discuss it boldly.

As long as our army is here, the Japanese pirates won't be able to cause any trouble."

The confidence in negotiations comes from the military.

Without this confidence, no matter how tough your words are, it will be useless.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "With Marshal Huo's words, we feel relieved.

Your Majesty's meaning is very clear, that is to prevent the Japanese pirates from recovering within 50 years.

If the Japanese pirates disagree with some of the regulations, Your Majesty intends to continue the fight."

Of course, this is the worst outcome.

From the perspective of Huo Guang and others, it would be best if the war did not start again.

The soldiers have been away from home for a long time, and they can't stop missing their hometown.

If war breaks out again, who can guarantee that the morale of the Qin army can be maintained?

Qin Hui said: "Please rest assured, fellow soldiers, you are fighting bravely on the front lines, and we cannot let you lose heart.

During this negotiation, we will certainly do our best to secure greater benefits for you and for Daqin."

Although in Ying Yuan's previous life, Qin Hui was a well-known master of "peace talks", but that was all based on a basis that was not beneficial to the Song Dynasty.

Now that the advantages are all in Daqin, he naturally has to strive for more benefits for Daqin.

I have to say that he is a very capable person.

Whether it is dealing with the enemy or having political acumen, he is extremely strong.
