Chapter 411: Strong Peace Negotiation!
Xianyang City, inside the imperial palace.
After listening to Li Si's long speech, everyone agreed with it.
The people of various countries feared Qin like a tiger. This was not a good thing, as it showed that Qin was unpopular.
If we start from the perspective of seeking peace, we should repeatedly tolerate the State of Yan.
Then, in the end, among the people of all nations, the country that tried to provoke war must be Yan, not Qin.
In this way, Qin would have occupied the righteous position. At that time, whether it was attacking Yan or encroaching on the territories of other countries, in the eyes of the people of various countries, it would be seen as being forced.
But the question arises again: how should we negotiate?
"If we blindly seek peace, I'm afraid the people of Great Qin will think we're afraid of Yan, which will be detrimental to our national confidence."
Yu Qian spoke.
Cao Cao agreed and said, "So, even if we are seeking peace, we must display the strong attitude of our Great Qin."
"Who should be sent to negotiate?" Qin Hui asked.
The Qin Dynasty is full of talented people and definitely has no shortage of diplomatic geniuses.
In fact, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others are capable of taking on this important task.
However, Cao Cao always felt that it was not good enough to let them go.
"I believe that the representatives going to the peace talks should not be selected from the civil service. Otherwise, they will inevitably become timid when facing the Yan army."
Qin Hui asked, "Who should we send, according to the King of Wei?"
Cao Cao looked around at the ministers, and finally fixed his gaze on Huo Guang, saying:
"Why not ask General Huo to make this trip? If the peace talks are successful, it can also be considered as avoiding a war."
"After all, the wonder His Majesty has ordered us to build is not yet complete, so it is not appropriate to start a national war."
"If the Yan State is ignorant and wants to fight to the death with our Great Qin, that would be what we want."
Upon hearing this, Huo Guang, who was standing at the head of the military team, clasped his fists towards Daji and said, "If the court has any orders, I will do my best."
Seeing this, Daji nodded and said, "In that case, let Huo Qing go and negotiate peace."
"But in this peace negotiation, our Great Qin will not cede territory, pay indemnities, pay tribute, or form a marriage alliance."
"If Yan doesn't know how to retreat when the odds are against him, then we'll fight them!"
Although she was a woman, she remembered what Ying Yuan had said firmly in her heart.
She believed that even if Ying Yuan was here, he would say the same thing.
All the officials bowed and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise and wise."
After the court was dismissed.
Daji also invited Cao Cao, six chancellors and several military generals to discuss matters in the Xuanzheng Hall.
"Just now in the palace, I had some questions, but it was not easy to talk to you in person."
"Your Majesty is currently in Jin territory, and Yan's army of hundreds of thousands is about to arrive at the border."
"If the Great Qin does not send troops for the time being, once the Yan army conquers the border, they will be at the gates of Shangjing."
"By then, not only will Your Majesty's life be in danger, but even the peace talks will be in vain."
Cao Gong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Perhaps you have forgotten that there are still 400,000 troops in Jin territory."
"Earlier, Your Majesty ordered General Bai Qi to go to Jin and kill the nobles there. At the time, I felt like I was using a butcher knife to kill a chicken."
"Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid Your Majesty has already made arrangements in advance to deal with an attack from the State of Yan. Your Majesty... has foresight far beyond ours."
What he meant was that Ying Yuan had already anticipated today's situation.
Hearing this, Daji suddenly had a sense of enlightenment.
"No wonder His Majesty transferred General Bai Qi to Jin. Now, I don't have to worry about His Majesty's safety."
In fact, for many ministers of the Qin State, they were not really worried about what would happen to their emperor.
Because the many things they have experienced over the years have taught them a truth.
That is, whenever it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is about to fall into danger, it often indicates that an enemy will be in trouble.
That day, Huo Guang set out for the State of Yan.
Now, in the capital city.
The bet between the Empress and the Qin Emperor caused a lot of controversy.
Many martial arts masters of the Yan State secretly found the empress and expressed their willingness to assist in the assassination of Ying Yuan.
But the Empress refused, "I'm afraid that the moment you set foot in this city, you will be out of the sight of the Three Qin Guards."
They also thought that she was a little scared because she had been caught by Emperor Qin many times.
"You alone wouldn't be able to succeed in the assassination. Besides, you don't have to think that the Three Qin Guards are that powerful."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have searched all over Jin for us and still couldn't find even a trace of us."
The empress didn't want to explain too much about this.
She still planned to act alone, muttering to herself, "It's said that Emperor Qin Ying Yuan's achievements rivaled those of nature, and his martial prowess surpassed even those of Xu Chu and the others."
"Even the overlord of Chu was defeated by the Qin Emperor. He was a person with double pupils born with supernatural powers!"
"Although the period is only half a month, my chances of taking action are very few, so I need to seize them!"
If Ying Yuan continues to hide in the palace, then she can only find an opportunity to take action.
But fortunately, she learned through information provided by some people in the Yan State that Ying Yuan was on a secret visit today and was leisurely drinking tea in a teahouse in the city.
Moreover, since he was the only one there, this was a godsend for them.
However, the Empress couldn't help but wonder, "He really didn't bring any followers... What exactly does he want to do? Could he be dying?"
She couldn't figure it out, but she decided to take action.
at the same time.
Lu Wenzhao and others received information that a large number of people from the Yan State were pouring into Shangjing City.
