Chapter 1557: Four key points (1)
GE Wenxuan’s heart moved, and she said, ”
“General-in. chief, you mean …”
Qi Guangbo smiled, ”
“Attack the heart!”
With a simple sentence, many of the astute people present immediately understood Qi Guangbo’s thoughts.
The Lord’s proposal for peace was to obtain greater benefits without bloodshed.
After the army finished recuperating and stabilized the territory of Qingzhou, the provisions and military supplies were in place, the Imperial advisor refined the fate energy of Qingzhou, and then tore up the Alliance agreement to attack the North.
With the main goal unchanged, they could still strengthen their strength and expand their advantage.
Ji Xuan slightly nodded his head,
“If we force Da Feng to the end of the road, it will definitely lead to a crazy counterattack. At that time, our Army will also suffer heavy casualties. A smart hunter will know to be lenient.
“Without the supervisor, the people of the great Feng imperial court are in a state of panic. By proposing peace at this time, we are opening a hole in the net and letting them see hope, making them lose the courage to fight for their lives.
and we can take the opportunity to gain benefits. We can ask for money and food.
Hearing his explanation, the generals who had not reacted immediately looked at Qi Guangbo with admiration.
Leading an Army to fight a war and fighting alone were two different things. The latter only required venting violence to one’s heart’s content, while the former was a skill.
While everyone was still immersed in the joy of getting rid of the jianzheng and taking down Qingzhou, the general had already thought of a brilliant plan based on the situation and the People’s hearts.
GE Wenxuan followed Qi Guangbo’s train of thought and thought of more. He sneered, ”
“Young master Ji Xuan, we definitely need money and grain, but we might as well increase our appetites. Da Feng is not much better than the fish on the anvil now. What does he want to talk to us about? how can he not put in his capital?
“No matter what, we have to give up a few provinces of land.”
The generals ‘eyes lit up, but someone frowned and said, ”
“Isn’t this forcing Da Feng to a dead end? in my opinion, it’s enough to just ask for money and food. We’ll use Da Feng’s money and grain to recruit soldiers and buy horses, and then turn around and fight them.
“If your appetite is too big, you’ll end up with nothing.”
This was a relatively conservative approach.
Someone immediately retorted,”the supervisor is gone, so whatever we say goes. The Imperial court of great Feng still dares to say no?” Even if we want the little emperor to issue an apology, I don’t think he would dare to refuse.”
This was the thought of the radicals.
Ji Xuan muttered,
“The scale must be controlled well. Blind greed will only produce the opposite effect. Although Da Feng has lost its supervisor, don’t forget, where is Xu Qi ‘an?”
He surveyed the crowd and analyzed in a sonorous tone, ”
“Zhao Shou has been in the field for many years and has no official position. He will not die for the Imperial court, and neither will Luo Yuheng. However, Xu Qi ‘an carried the fate of the country. If Dafeng died, he would die for the country.
“Therefore, he will definitely influence the overall situation of the Imperial court. This person’s personality is more willing to break than bend, and if we force him too much, it will only make him take the risk and burn both Jade and stone with us.
“Of course, the cloud state Army is almost certain to enter the Central Plains. He’s only a rank-3. He can’t cause any trouble. However, great General’s peace talks will definitely fail.”
GE Wenxuan wanted to say something but stopped. Considering Ji Xuan’s status, he did not refute.
Du du!
Qi Guangbo knocked on the table and interrupted the discussion. He smiled and said, ”
Zisu, you’re still too short-sighted. You only saw the difference in strength between the two sides and Xu Qi ‘an’s personality.
Ji Xuan lowered his head slightly,
“Please enlighten me, great general.”
Qi Guangbo was his first teacher.
Qi Guangbo said slowly, ”
“Yongxing, this little emperor, is more than capable of keeping things in order, but lacks courage. For such an Emperor, the supervisor is his last backbone. With the death of a supervisor, do you think he’ll stake everything in a battle to the death or accept our peace negotiations?”
“Of course I choose to accept.” GE Wenxuan laughed.
Qi Guangbo nodded and continued, ”
“Next are the officials in the court. Wang zhenwen is bedridden, Wei Yuan died in Jingshan city, and the rest, whether for good or for good, are lacking. Therefore, the only obstacle in the negotiation was Xu Qi ‘an.
“But the little emperor and Xu Qi ‘an’s interests are different. For the little emperor, peace can stabilize the situation, and he will be stable if there is no war. At the very least, he could call for a period of peace and allow Da Feng to catch his breath.
“But for Xu Qi ‘an, this means that there is no hope of turning the tables. Therefore, the two of them must be at odds with each other.”
Zhuo Haoran touched his chin and said, ”
“Therefore, great general’s plan is killing two birds with one stone. If he succeeded, he would have grain and money, and he could even force the Imperial court to cede land without using a single soldier. If it doesn’t work, Xu Qi ‘an and the little emperor will be at odds, and it will be even better if there is trouble.”
If even a butcher like Zhuo Haoran could understand it, the others would definitely understand.
Ji Xuan was convinced.
Qi Guangbo continued, ”
“That Xu Qi ‘an is a sore point in the hidden Dragon City, a sore point for the state preceptor. In the past, he had the protection of Wei Yuan and the supervisor, so he was unscrupulous.
“Now, we’ll let this famous Xu yinluo know what it means to be as high as the sky and as wide as the sea.”
Zhuo Haoran and the other generals laughed and echoed, ”
“You’re right, general. Without the supervisor and Wei Yuan, Xu Qi ‘an is nothing. How dare he challenge the state preceptor and the hidden Dragon City? Maybe he’s also trembling like a quail now.”
“Xu Qi ‘an is just a little more famous. In terms of cultivation, our young master Ji Xuan is also a rank three.”
“However … Perhaps even without the Imperial advisor’s intervention, young lord Ji Xuan would be able to kill this brat.”
“Refine him into a blood pill and use it to improve young lord Ji Xuan’s cultivation.”
The generals either cursed or laughed.
