Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2243 Give up Chang'an and stop the war

Chapter 2239: Let Chang'an cease the war

"What is this Li Shimin thinking?"

Wen Zhong appeared next to Jiang Shang: "Junior brother, you clearly pointed out a way out for Li Shimin, but he chose a difficult way to die. I don't know whether to say he is stupid or courageous."

"He has plans of his own."

Jiang Shang stroked his beard lightly, shook his head and said, "Li Shimin is very wise and brave, but it's a pity that he was born at an untimely time, and regardless of whether Li Tang can escape this catastrophe, even if he can escape, it will be nothing more than dying, and he will perish sooner or later. The front line of the confrontation with Qin."

"It's a pity." Wen Zhong sighed.

"Let's go, brother Wen Zhong, it's time to go to Luoyang, you have long wanted to meet the King of Qin."

"Indeed, King Qin Yinghao is a man of heavenly wealth, but it's a pity he wasn't from the Liu family."

Wen Zhong showed regret on his face, and then he smiled again: "Most of my apprentices in the Shangqing Dynasty served in Qin Dynasty, and my junior brother even became the number one in the world. I should meet many old acquaintances when I go to Luoyang this time. .”

Jiang Shang couldn't help being silent. He was a disciple of Yuqing, and Yuqing's attitude towards Qin was very bad. It was completely opposite to Shangqing. There were no disciples of Yuqing who served in Qin, so he was destined to be alone.

But even so, Jiang Shang still wanted to go, he wanted to see what kind of person Ying Hao was.

Since Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong were born, Ying Hao has been looking for their whereabouts, but there has been no progress, but now Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong have come to their door on their own initiative.

If Qin Hao knew, he would definitely be overjoyed, but unfortunately he didn't know, otherwise Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong would be kept at any cost.

----------

Lantian, inside the Qin army camp.

"Report... to the general, and the envoys of the Tang army came to see me."

Li Jing, who was looking at the sand table, couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, and then said: "Tell."

"promise."

After a while, the Tang envoy entered and saluted, "The envoy of the Tang State, Li Shangyin, is here to see the general."

The person who came was Li Shangyin who was called "Little Li Du" together with Du Mu.

Li Jing didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Why is the Tang envoy here?"

"I'm here to discuss with the general. The two countries will reconcile and reconcile. Let's call for a truce and shake hands to make peace." Li Shangyin said neither humble nor overbearing.

Li Jing was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, didn't you just come here to ask for peace, why did you say it so high-sounding."

After finishing speaking, Li Jing said to the generals: "Did you hear that Tang Guo wants to seek peace with our army, but obviously he can't hold on anymore."

Hearing Li Jing's words, all the generals also burst into laughter, after all, who would want to seek peace if they could fight.

Li Shang's face was sullen, and he was about to refute, but Li Jing said: "Since it is for negotiation, sir, you can go directly to Luoyang, why did you come to Lantian instead? I will only focus on fighting."

"Luoyang is seven or eight hundred miles away from Chang'an, this..."

Li Shangyin showed embarrassment, but Li Jing already understood.

It was nothing more than a long time to go to and from Luoyang, and he was worried that the war would change during the negotiations, so he came to Lantian and asked Li Jing to convey Tang's desire for peace talks on his behalf.

Li Jing immediately flew a pigeon to Luoyang to convey Li Tang's wish to negotiate a peace.

Ying Hao was surprised when he received the subpoena. He had guessed that Li Tang would come to sue for peace, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

The Qin Army's five-way attack on the Tang Dynasty seemed to be very powerful, but so far only one line has entered Guanzhong, and that is Huo Qubing's cavalry army.

Although Tang Guo lost Xiaoguan, Wuzhangyuan was still there. As long as Wuzhangyuan was guarded, Huo Qubing's cavalry would not be able to reach Chang'an.

In addition, important places such as Gaoguan, Tongguan, and Fenglingdu are still in the hands of Tang Jun.

Tang Guo has not yet been cornered. With Li Shimin's behavior style, logically speaking, he shouldn't give in quickly, right?

"It's really weird."

Ying Hao muttered in confusion, but when he saw the price Li Tang was willing to pay, he sneered in his heart.

"Just paying such a small price, you want this king to retreat? Li Shimin's idea is pretty good."

Ying Hao sneered, and ordered: "Order Li Jing to take full responsibility for negotiating with Li Tang. This king can temporarily let Li Shimin go, but Li Tang must give up Chang'an City."

"promise."

After the soldiers left, Jia Xu stood up and said, "Master, Huo Bing will temporarily change the plan and ask Wei Qing to lead [-] people to support Ma Chao in order to delay Yang Guang's process of unifying Liangzhou.

Although it was for the sake of the overall situation, Huo Bing's daring to deal with such a big matter without reporting it was really too bold and reckless. "

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Ying Hao rubbed his temples with some headaches, obviously this is not the first time Huo Qubing has been impeached.

A genius commander like Huo Qubing is indeed reassuring to use, but he always puts his own ideas first and habitually disregards military orders, which makes people love and hate him.

For example, this time, if Huo Qubing hadn't allocated [-] troops to support Ma Chao, the Qin army would have at least [-] cavalry in Wuzhangyuan. Even with Li Shimin's courage, he would not have dared to fight the Qin army.

In the Battle of Guanzhong, the Qin army had only two months to fight. Huo Qubing’s cavalry corps marched for more than half a month, and already spent one-third of the time, leaving only more than one month to fight. There is no doubt that the troops will be divided at this time. It will affect the course of the Guanzhong War.

Therefore, many people impeach Huo Qubing, but this is because they came to the scene in person. They don't know the real situation in Liangzhou, and they would definitely not say that if they knew.

"Well, Huo Bing's move was actually ordered by the king. Before the war, the king was worried that the situation in Liangzhou would deteriorate, so he gave Huo Bing the right to adapt to the situation."

The matter has come to this point, only Ying Hao, the lord, can take the blame for his subordinates, otherwise Huo Qubing will have missed his great merit this time, and in the end he will definitely end up with a balance of merit and demerit.

In other words, the subordinates have always been responsible for Ying Hao, and the subordinates who can make Ying Hao take the blame for him, there are probably only Huo Qubing and Li Cunxiao in the entire Qin country.

Jia Xu could tell at a glance that Ying Hao was blaming Huo Qubing, and said helplessly, "My lord, if you favor General Huo Bing so much, aren't you afraid that he will be spoiled by favor?"

"It was really ordered by the king. Oh, by the way, what's going on in Liangzhou?"

"..."

"Not long ago, Wei Qing sent back news that Yan Xing, Han Sui's son-in-law, had defected to our army. Ma Chao's situation was no better than Yan Xing's, and he might be hesitant to join our army now, so Wei Qing proposed to send an envoy to persuade Ma Chao to surrender. "

After hearing this, Qin Hao showed a thoughtful look, and then said: "There is no need to send envoys to lobby Ma Chao."

???

All the ministers present showed doubts. They didn't understand that Ma Chao had a tendency to surrender. He was obviously a force that could be recruited, but why didn't the lord take the initiative to fight for this force?
