Japanese Imperial Palace.
At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu was standing in front of Emperor Meiji and bowed, saying:
"Qin's intention is very clear: to make us lose our military power through this negotiation.
They can leave us 150,000 troops today, and tomorrow they will find various excuses to continue to weaken our military power.
By that time, our Sakura Nation will become a puppet of the Qin Empire."
In fact, the latter also understands this principle very well.
But what can we do now?
At this time, a minister from Japan bowed to Emperor Meiji and said:
"I think we can temporarily agree to the Qin army's conditions, and then we can train our troops in secret and wait for the follow-up.
Our Sakura Country also has mountains and deep valleys. If we hide our troops there, when we need them, they will naturally respond with a single call."
Hearing this, the latter's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea."
But Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed deeply.
He is talking about this matter today not to say that there is no way to deal with it.
Of course, what the minister said was just one of many methods.
But once you choose to use that method.
The Sakura Country really can't raise its head in front of the Qin Country.
At this time, if we can maintain our confidence and dignity, perhaps we can force the Qin Dynasty to retreat.
From now on, the Sakura Country will be able to take a breather.
But when he saw what the emperor meant, he knew that this was obviously impossible.
The other side is eager to stabilize the current situation and naturally will not decide to confront the Qin army head-on.
If you lose in momentum, you really lose.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was indeed a famous general who was able to analyze the current situation very thoroughly.
However, he and the emperor were not on the same page.
Otherwise, the Sakura Country would not have reached its current state.
...
In the Qin army camp.
All the generals and soldiers congratulated Huo Qubing and Bai Qi.
After all, they are now people with titles.
In this battle, the two of them made the greatest contributions and were awarded the titles of Wu'an Jun and Guanjun Hou, which naturally convinced everyone.
Even the carefree Xu Chu patted the two on the shoulders and said earnestly:
"In my life, I have rarely been subservient to anyone, but you two are definitely one of them.
General Bai Qi killed hundreds of thousands of enemies and lived up to the name of God of Killing, and was worthy of the three words "Wu'an Jun".
General Huo Qubing traveled a thousand miles and captured the Japanese Emperor alive, bringing the war to an early end. He lived up to his title of God of War, and the title of Marquis of Champion was well deserved."
He spoke from the bottom of his heart.
He really did not admire anyone very much.
However, Bai Qi and Huo Qubing are truly worthy of admiration.
Even the rebellious Lu Bu believed that the first and second greatest heroes of this battle were Bai Qi and Huo Qubing.
For the two of them, didn’t they feel the emperor’s grace?
One of them started as an infantryman and was appreciated by Marshal Huo Guang, which gave him the opportunity to lead an army and achieve such an impressive record.
Now, he has been conferred the title of Wu'an Jun by the emperor, which is already a great honor.
As for the latter, it was also his first time leading troops.
At first, when the generals and soldiers learned about his relationship with Huo Guang, they all felt a little disdainful.
What kind of ability can you have by relying on your brothers to get to the top?
However, they were soon slapped in the face by Huo Qubing.
Is it not enough to capture Chikan City?
It doesn’t matter. Taking Koshu Castle from Japan and killing Takeda Shingen, is this a big enough achievement?
Not big enough?
It doesn't matter.
Then take over the capital of Japan and capture the Japanese emperor alive.
As a result, all the soldiers in the army admired him deeply.
At this time, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Your Majesty said that after the army returns victorious, he will reward the meritorious officials one by one.
In my opinion, this battle has at least cost the Great Qin dozens of nobles."
For a moment, all the soldiers burst into laughter.
Then.
One general said in a deep voice, "I wonder when we can withdraw our troops and return to the capital?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Many Qin soldiers were silent.
yes.
The soldiers had been out for too long and didn't want to stay in Japan any longer.
Cao Cao patted the soldier on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, after the negotiations with Japan are over, we can go home.
I promise you, and you all, that by the end of the year, our army will be able to return to the capital."
No one knows how long this negotiation will last.
After a while.
In the central army tent.
Huo Guang asked, "King of Wei, there are no outsiders here. Please tell me the truth. Did the negotiations go smoothly? Did we encounter any setbacks?"
Cao Cao said seriously, "Marshal, you want to ask how long the negotiations will last, right?"
Sitting at the negotiating table is actually equivalent to fighting a battle.
But this is just a battle without gunpowder.
As for how long this battle will last, no one can guarantee it.
After all, in reality, a brutal battle may last for one day, two days, or even ten or twenty years.
Of course, the negotiations cannot take that long, at most about half a year.
...
At the end of November in the fifth year of Chengping.
The negotiations between Qin and Japan were officially declared over.
As mentioned before.
Japan will make up for all the military expenses spent by the Qin Dynasty on the expedition.
At the same time, they would pay tribute of 30 million taels of silver to the Qin Dynasty every year.
In fact, at the beginning, Heshen asked for 70 million taels.
