Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 111
Chapter 1 Ten: Negotiator Su Hong

"Report to Marshal, the Han army sent someone to see the general!" At this moment, a messenger came in.

"Two military advisers, do you know why Zhou Shen sent people here this week?" Yue Fei asked Su Hong and Cheng Yu, frowning.

Su Hong smiled and said, "Marshal Yue, the Han Kingdom probably requested peace."

"Seek peace? Impossible, right now our army still has nothing to do with Wuguan. In Guanzhong there are only a few thousand people like Qin Lie, and the strength of the Han army has not been weakened. Isn't it too early to ask for peace?" Ma Chao said next, Deng Jun has been fighting here for more than two months, but he has made no progress. Although Qin Lie and others have already entered Guanzhong, they only have a few thousand people. If the Han army in Guanzhong encircles them together, they will die .

Cheng Yu, who was sitting next to Su Hong, shook his head, and said: "General Ma's words are wrong, yes, the strength of the Han army has not weakened, but the strength of the Han country has been greatly weakened, you don't know Qin Lie and the others are lacking in great virtue. They didn't do anything in Guanzhong and just burned the granaries of the Han Kingdom. According to the news from all over the country, they probably burned half of the grain accumulated by the Han Kingdom over the years. , if the fight continues, the Han people will probably have to drink the northwest wind next year."

"Oh, my darling, Qin Lie and the others are really amazing, and I really regret not joining them." Zhang Fei said in surprise. Now he is both pleasantly surprised and regretful. Cool, he wants to go no matter what.

"Then, marshal, what about the people sent by the Han army?" Seeing that the bosses were talking to themselves, the messenger completely ignored himself, while the people sent by the Han army outside were still waiting, so he said .

"Oh, then let him come in." Yue Fei came to his senses after hearing what the messenger said.

Sure enough, the facts were just as Su Hong and Cheng Yu had expected. The Han army sent people to inform Yue Fei not to do anything when the Han mission left Wuguan, and hoped that Yue Fei would inform Deng Sheng of the matter.

What Yue Fei meant was that the two sides were at war now. As the commander-in-chief of the front line, he could not just let people from the enemy country enter the country.

The envoy told Zhou Shen and Li Bu what Yue Fei had said. Although they were dissatisfied, they had nothing to do.

Wancheng, Qianyang Palace
After receiving the news from Yue Fei, Deng Sheng summoned all the ministers to discuss the peace. On the face of it, the reason why Deng sent troops was that Han expelled the envoys of Deng. To put it bluntly, it was a battle of spirits. Now that Han took the initiative to give in and negotiated a peace, of course Deng could not be relentless. unsatisfied.

Deng Sheng's decree agreeing to the peace talks was passed to Wuguan, Yue Fei had no objection of course, and sent someone to inform Zhou Shen in Wuguan.

Although they don't know why Deng Sheng urgently called Su Hong back to court, Yue Fei and Su Hong didn't dare to neglect. After accepting the order, Su Hong rushed back to Wancheng.

When Su Hong returned to Wancheng, he was immediately summoned by Deng Sheng.

"What! Your Majesty wants you to be the chief envoy of this peace negotiation?" In Qianyang Palace, Su Hong, who had just returned to Wancheng, was summoned by Deng Sheng. He went to be the chief envoy of the peace talks and negotiated with Han. These things have always been in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Logically speaking, they should be discussed by the people of the Ministry of Rites. Now that he hastily took over, will it cause dissatisfaction from the Ministry of Rites?

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has always been in charge of the peace talks. Now that I have rashly served as the chief envoy, I'm afraid Kong Shangshu will have some objections. I hope Your Majesty will think twice." Su Hong expressed his worries and asked Deng Think about it again.

Deng Sheng shook his head with a smile, and said: "Su Qing, there is no need to worry. You are the chief envoy. It was suggested by the widow, and both the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty agreed. First, this time the chief envoy of the Han Dynasty is the Grand Master of the Han Dynasty. Honglu Libu, this person Su Qing has dealt with him in Chang'an, so he must have some understanding of him."

Su Hong nodded his head. Although Su Hong didn't have much contact with Li Bu, he did understand him to a certain extent. Su Hong was still somewhat confident in dealing with him.

"The second thing is that this time I sent troops. My excuse is to wash away Su Qing's shame. Now that we have won the battle, we have to negotiate terms. Su Qing will do my part." Deng Sheng continued.

When Su Hong heard this, he laughed, knowing that it would be impossible not to accept this task, and this was Deng Sheng's compensation to Su Hong. Didn't you, Han, drive Su Hong out of Chang'an?Well, I will let the person who has been humiliated by you come to talk to you. This way, I can give Su Hong a sigh of relief, and I can also take the initiative when negotiating conditions. Han Guo humiliated Su Hong, so in the negotiation process In the middle, Su Hong's tone is not kind, and his tough attitude is taken for granted by everyone.

"Then what is the bottom line in the king's mind?" Now that he decided to take this mission, Su Hong must know what Deng Sheng wants?The land, the city, or the money, or the war horse that Deng Sheng yearns for, how much is the bottom line, knowing these, Su Hong can talk about it.

Deng Sheng thought for a while, and said: "I don't intend to ask for land and cities, and Han will not give it to me. As for the money and food, Su Qing decides, it doesn't matter how much, but I want more, or more. The purpose of the widow is to fight horses." , at least [-] horses, this is the bottom line, as for how to discuss it, I will leave it to Su Qing."

Deng Sheng didn't want the land and city, and Han would not give it to him. Han's territory is mainly divided into three parts, namely Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Beidi, and Anding. Guanzhong is the core of Han, and Han is the core of Han. It is impossible to cede it, even if it is one or two cities, and Hanzhong is the fief granted to Liu Bang by Xiang Yu back then. It can be said that it is the land of Longxing in the Han Dynasty. , Anding and Deng Guo do not border, and it is useless to ask for it.

In terms of money and food, half of the grain stored in the Han Kingdom was burned by Qin Lie and others. The Han Kingdom does not have much money and food now, so how much can you give yourself? The only thing you can get is the war horse. It is also for war horses that the laborers mobilize the people to fight against the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what to do." Now that he knew the bottom line, Su Hong felt confident.

Just three days after Su Hong returned to Wancheng, the Han Dynasty mission led by Li Bu also came to Wancheng.

Since entering Wancheng, Li Bu has been a little absent-minded. The negotiation this time may not be that simple. If Han does not pay a big price, Deng will probably not let it go.

After arriving at the post house, Li Bu also saw the officials from the Ministry of Rites who came to receive them. After learning that the Deng Guo representative he was negotiating with was Su Hong, Li Bu knew that this matter would be difficult. He was kicked out of Chang'an, and now Deng Sheng asked him to negotiate, which is to show that if Han does not pay the blood price, he will not let it go.

Thinking of this, Li Bu became distressed. If he had known today, why bother? It is true that he was also very angry when Su Hong mentioned the Battle of Wuguan in front of the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, but he kicked Su Hong out. He strongly opposed Chang'an, and now the Han Kingdom is finally reaping the consequences.
