Chapter 2304 Prepare for peace talks

"Your majesty calm down." After Wu Yan waited for the emperor above to vent his anger, he said, "Now, things have happened, and Li Shangshu has died in battle. The most important thing for us now is to discuss how to calm down. Feng Jue the anger of the people."

Among the current ministers, Wu Yan has the highest status. Therefore, at this time, it is more appropriate for him to speak.

"What Li Shangshu?! That is a trash. He was not killed in battle. He was killed by the rioters when he was fleeing! I ordered that Li Yuangu’s position as the secretary of the military department be removed. Because of his weak command, he fled before the battle. Take him home!" After hearing Wu Yan's words, the emperor of the Dalu dynasty roared again. Obviously, he hated Li Yuangu in his heart at this time. Even if Li Yuangu is dead, he cannot let him. To die as the Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

"Hmph, he died there too, if he comes back, I will cut him a thousand times!" His Majesty said angrily.

Before Li Yuangu was thinking of being able to escape back, at most he was reprimanded a few words, and he soon became a majestic military official again, but he obviously underestimated the weight of this war in His Majesty's heart.

It can be said that the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty attached great importance to this war. Therefore, before Li Yuangu set off, he met all the requirements of Li Yuangu, and even promised that if Li Yuangu If you win back, there will be a great reward!

And how much expectation there is, after disappointment, there will be much disappointment, it is precisely because His Majesty has too much expectations for Li Yuangu, expecting him to come back with a big victory, so now knowing that the opponent is defeated, will he Fortunately, Li Yuangu didn't escape from such anger. Otherwise, he might die even worse, instead of just being reprimanded as he thought.

His Majesty, the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty, paid attention to this war because it was naturally related to the envoys who were still in the imperial capital at this time. When they first met with these envoys, he was made by the other party. Some people can’t get off the stage, so he really wants to teach the other party severely, and the best way to teach the other party is naturally to defeat the other party on the battlefield. In that case, the next time he sees those people, he will just talk. I can harden up and find the face I lost before.

At the same time, the other party also wanted to marry their princesses from the Dalu dynasty. This is what the emperor did not want. After all, in the Dalu dynasty, only Princess Qi is the only one who meets this condition, and the emperor loves Princess Qi. , Even surpassing those of his biological children, naturally he did not want to see Princess Qi marry in that kind of place.

Therefore, he desperately needs a victory now. Only in this way can they win the initiative at the negotiating table and avoid marrying Princess Qi. Even in the future war, they still lose more and lose less. It doesn't matter, as long as they can win this time, they will be able to move the negotiation in a direction that is beneficial to them, allowing them to win a few years of peaceful development without agreeing to too many humiliating terms.

But now, all of this has been messed up by Li Yuangu, one can imagine how much the Emperor hates him now.

"Your Majesty calm down!" All the officials said in unison.

"Quite my anger, how can I not be angry, this damn trash, I shouldn't have believed him before!" His Majesty said.

Although he said so, his Majesty still forced himself to calm down. He knew that Wu Yan was right. It had happened. Li Yuangu had already defeated the battle on the front line. No matter how angry he was, no matter how angry he was, It doesn't help. The most important thing now is how to calm the anger of Fengjue Chinese people and how to carry on this negotiation.

The people of Feng Jueguo did not choose to plunder this time, but chose to attack the city. Obviously, it was different from usual, and this was even worse news for the Da Lu Dynasty.

Although in the past few years, they have been fighting against the people of the country, losing more and losing less, but they have only lost some resources and population, but the country has not lost at all. This is mainly because, The people of Feng Jueguo didn't mean to attack the city, and at the same time, the people of the Great Lu Dynasty were also better at defending the city.

However, all of this has changed this time. The Feng Jueguo people actually chose to attack the city. Moreover, they defeated a strong city overnight. For the Da Lu Dynasty, this was absolutely It's not good news, and it's definitely not too much to say it's a bolt from the blue.

Losing the city is a big event, and it is also a shameful thing. If you can’t get it back, it will be nailed to the pillar of shame. In addition, through this incident, it also shows that the wind is absolutely beautiful. People are not incapable of attacking cities. Although they don't know how they entered the city, it also shows that Feng Jueguo has the ability to attack cities.

This is also the purpose of the Feng Jueguo people. The reason they chose to attack the city this time was to tell the people of the Dalu Dynasty that they did not attack the city before, but he did not want to attack, rather than unable to attack. If they get angry, they don't mind, they will beat down the cities of the Da Lu Dynasty one by one.

This is the most terrible thing. In the past, the people of Feng Jueguo left after plundering. Now if they occupy the city, then they have a base for development. The people of the Da Lu Dynasty want to give them to Driving away is undoubtedly much harder.

This was also the place where the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty was angry and afraid, so he was so angry with Li Yuangu that he wanted to break his body into pieces.

"Wu Aiqing, what do you think, please tell me." His Majesty the Emperor said to Wu Yan.

At this time, Feng Jueguo’s troops have not left yet. They are repairing and seem to continue to fight inland at any time. Naturally, this is not what the emperor wants to see. Most of their troops are on the border and in the interior. On the contrary, it is a lot less. Now, the people of Feng Jueguo have broken the border city of 300,000 defenders. If they continue to attack inland, it will be much easier, and wherever the people of Feng Jueguo go, it means The damage, even if they left in the end, will have no small impact.

What's more, they are not sure to beat them back now. With 300,000 troops, even with city defense, they can't beat the opponent, not to mention the fact that there are very few troops in the interior, which is even more difficult.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that we must now summon the envoys of Feng Jueguo to show our sincerity in negotiations. As for the previous conflicts on the border, it was an accident. It was an act of Li Yuangu, the official of the Ministry of War, who took the initiative. , But, at least there is a step down, and the reason why they started this war, they still want to negotiate with us, but their conditions have not been met before, so this war has come, in order to be able to At the negotiating table, strive for more interests." Wu Yan said.

"Not bad." His Majesty the Emperor also said.

In fact, the emperor also understood that the reason why the people of Feng Jueguo would start this battle was for peace talks. They just wanted to show their strength in order to fight for more benefits. The Lu dynasty was defeated, thinking about it, they hadn’t made such preparations yet, nor did they have such strength. Fighting down, at least for now, is not realistic.

However, even if he knew the other side's thoughts, His Majesty did not dare to ignore that army, what if they really attacked the mainland like crazy?Even if there is a slight possibility, he dare not take risks.

"It's just that we lost this time, and the defeat was terrible. I'm afraid that we need to give up more benefits when negotiating to calm their anger and let them withdraw willingly." Wu Yan added. .

His Majesty the emperor frowned, he also understood this. This is why he was so angry before. This failure is too untimely. What's more, he failed in this way. This is not telling Feng Jueguo. People, did the army of the Great Lu Dynasty not fight?In this case, how hard is he at the negotiating table?Such a result will only make the people who have the power to become more tough and arrogant.

"It's okay to give up some interests. As long as they withdraw their troops, it's all easy to talk about. Wu Aiqing needs to continue to be responsible for this negotiation. You are the minister I rely on the most. Don't let me down." His Majesty said.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor had already made concessions in his heart, and he also understood that the opponent’s army had already arrived, and he had fought a big victory. At this time, it would be impossible for the opponent to retreat without a little blood. Therefore, the price paid this time will not be small.

And the more this is the case, the more the Emperor's hatred towards Li Yuangu is in his heart. If they hadn't lost the battle, but also failed miserably, betraying their trust, why would they fall into such a dilemma?

"The minister leads the order." Wu Yan said with his hands: "To share the worries for your majesty is what the ministers should do."

"Yeah." His Majesty nodded and said, "If everyone is like Wu Aiqing, sharing their worries for me, why should I look at the faces of those people who are absolutely windy?"

"Weichen is guilty!" The other ministers in the imperial study room, at this time, all pleaded guilty.

Wu Yan was slightly proud. Of course, at this time, he didn't dare to show it. That's not uncomfortable. Therefore, he sullenly and frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Feng Jue Country insists on marriage, we If you don’t agree, I’m afraid there is no way for this peace talk to continue."
