Chapter 2269 Qin Tang Luoyang Treaty

Chapter 2265: Treaty of Qin and Tang Luoyang

"My lord, Han Fei thinks that the battle of Guanzhong should be over. If we continue to fight, even if we can take Chang'an and occupy Guanzhong, it will not be worth the loss for our army." Han Fei said with a straight face.

Qin Hao knew that even if he couldn't win this time, he would definitely be able to win next time, but Han Fei's words aroused his interest, after all, the gain was not worth the loss.

"The rich land in Guanzhong has more than 300 million people, and it is known as the ninth largest granary.

Li Tang won Guanzhong, and with the land of only twelve counties, he supported more than [-] to [-] troops and squeezed into the ranks of powerful countries.

If our army wins Guanzhong, it should go one step further, so how can the gains outweigh the losses? "Ying Hao asked back.

"If Guanzhong is won, our army will indeed go further in terms of strength, but this is not the case in the overall situation"

Speaking of this, Han Fei slowed down and said earnestly:
"My lord, the expansion of our army is too fast. In just one year, the entire Hebei Province has been conquered. The overall power has more than doubled. The Guanzhong War has not been fully digested. This has aroused the anger of most of the princes. panic."

"Yes."

Jia Xu stood up and continued: "Don't look at Cao Wei, who is calm on the surface and dare not have any dissatisfaction, but secretly has been helping Li Tang.

As for the Song and Wu countries, on the issue of negotiations, they have already clearly supported Li Tang.

The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu are all allies, but they all stand on the side of Li and Tang, let alone hostile countries such as Chu, Shu, Sui and Ming. "

As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, Zhuge Liang also stood up.

"My lord, the purpose of attacking the Tang Dynasty this time is to scare the chickens and the monkeys, so that the princes from all walks of life will realize the strength of our army, so as to deter the princes of the world, and our army can rest in peace and digest the results of the battle.

But if the deterrence is too much, it will intensify the alliance of the princes, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

It is enough to open the gate of Guanzhong and occupy more than ten counties in Guanzhong.

If the entire Guanzhong is forcibly occupied, it will surely arouse the panic of the princes, and thus form an alliance to resist our army. It will be difficult to think about resting at ease. "

"Yes, my lord..."

Liu Bowen also stood up, and immediately afterward, other civil servants also spoke up one after another, basically meaning that for the sake of the overall situation, it is better to accept it as soon as it is good.

Seeing this, Ying Hao couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The same thing, the Qin army's civil and military factions have completely different attitudes.

The attitude of the military is that with such a good opportunity, they will not stop until Chang'an is occupied and Guanzhong is occupied.

The attitude of civil servants is to proceed from the overall situation. In order to appease the princes from all walks of life, especially the allies Wei, Song and Wu, they can take a step back.

Perhaps, this is the difference between literati and generals.

Ying Hao weighed for a long time, but finally he found his heart and leaned towards Wen Chen Fang.

The Qin army is not afraid of the princes joining forces, but it needs to rest and recover.

From the start of the Hebei War to the present, the Qin army has experienced several battles with tens of thousands of people, and has consumed seven or eighty-eight of the foundation accumulated over the years. It is obviously impossible to fight against all the princes on its own.

Of course, there are also discord among the princes, and it is not so easy to join forces.

But if the Qin army is too strong, it will force the princes from all walks of life to unite, and it will be more harm than good.

"What Han Fei said is reasonable. In the face of the general situation of the world, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, you can give up the small profits in front of you."

Ying Hao took a deep breath and said, "Where is Zhang Yi?"

"Subordinates are here."

Zhang Yi immediately stood up, and Ying Hao replied: "This time, the negotiations between the two countries are fully in your charge."

"Promise, Zhang Yi will definitely live up to my lord's expectations."

"Remember, this king can allow Li Tang to keep Chang'an City, but Li Tang must cede Zuo Fengling.

With Zuo Fengling in hand, the captured counties in Guanzhong can be connected as a whole, and our army will have a firm foothold in Guanzhong.

Besides, in order to show his sincerity, Li Tang wanted to marry the princess. The marriage partner had to be Li Xiuning, and the other two children had to be sent back together. "

At this point, Ying Hao listened, looked at the crowd and asked, "Military advisers, take a look, is there anything else you can add?"

"The two traitors Qin Hai and Sima Yi, Li Shimin must be handed over to our army." Liu Bowen said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I almost forgot about this, Qin Hai and Sima Yi must hand it over."

Although Ying Hao said so, he didn't think that Li Shimin would really be weak enough to hand over both Sima Yi and Hu Hai.

Sima Yi has already served as an official in the Tang Dynasty, and his official position is not low. If Li Shimin handed him over, would anyone dare to take refuge in him in the future?Isn't this digging its own grave?

Of course, in negotiations, it is natural to ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the spot. Even if you can only get Hu Hai, a traitor, back, it is still a profit for Qin.

Just when everyone was eager to speak, Kong Xuan, who was standing on the side as a guard, suddenly said: "Why don't you add Kong Peng."

He already knew that his younger brother showed his talents on the Guanzhong battlefield and caused a lot of trouble for the Qin army, so seeing this opportunity, he naturally wanted to capture his younger brother back through diplomacy.

"General Kong Xuan, although Kong Peng betrayed the Kong family, he was not a traitor to our army, and he did not join the Tang Dynasty. There is not enough reason to force Li Shimin to hand him over," Jia Xu said.

"It's okay, it can be included in the negotiation regulations. It's a big deal with Li Tang."

A sinister smile appeared on Ying Hao's face, and he said with a sneer, "Anyway, if this negotiation is not over, Li Jing's attack on Chang'an will not be over either."

In terms of negotiations, Qin Jun is not in a hurry, Li Tang should be in a hurry.

Of course, Qin Jun couldn't ask for too much price, and couldn't exceed Li Tang's bottom line, otherwise, there would be no sincerity in the peace talks, and that would only make the countries more uneasy, thinking that Qin would not even give Li Tang a chance to surrender.

After hearing the conditions raised by everyone, Zhang Yi couldn't help laughing bitterly.

With such conditions, if he wanted Li Tang to accept it, he had to give up a share of the benefits.

But which benefit should we give up?

After thinking about it, Zhang Yi decided to take a step back in terms of war indemnity. After all, after such a big battle, Li Tang's finances may have bottomed out, and it is simply unrealistic to expect Li Tang to lose money.

Besides, the state of Qin does not lack Li Tang's war indemnity, so it is better to lower the war indemnity in exchange for Li Tang agreeing to other conditions

. . . . . . . . . . .

Li Shangyin had another meeting with Zhang Yi. He knew that this negotiation was about the survival of Li Tang, so he was both apprehensive and expectant.

When he heard that Qin State finally let go and allowed Tang State to keep Chang'an, Li Shangyin secretly heaved a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that these days were not in vain.

Chang'an is the core of Guanzhong. If it is lost, Tang Jun will withdraw from Guanzhong completely.

Li Shimin can accept the defeat, he can accept being a vassal, and he can accept going to the throne, but he can't accept leaving Guanzhong.

Without Guanzhong, Tang's national strength will be greatly reduced, and it will completely fall out of the ranks of powerful countries. This is unacceptable to all Tang's senior officials.

"Before Qin Guo said nothing to allow me, Datang, to keep Chang'an, but now it is loose. It seems that there is still sincerity in the peace talks."

Li Shangyin thought to himself, but when he learned of the following conditions, his face turned red from anger.
