Chapter 1908: Death of Liu Che (Part 1)
"Your Majesty has a decree, and the King of Qin's envoy is here to see you."
After hearing this, Ye Qingmei immediately walked into the hall slowly with her head held high and her chest high.
When the officials of the Northern Han Dynasty saw that the envoy of Qin was actually a woman, they were all surprised and began to discuss in whispers.
Ye Qingmei ignored everyone's scrutinizing gazes and saluted loudly: "Ye Qingmei, the special envoy of the King of Qin, comes to see your majesty."
Liu Che, who was concentrating with his eyes closed and thinking about how to negotiate terms, heard the Qin envoy's female voice. He also opened his eyes in surprise and looked Ye Qingmei up and down.
"Qin Hao actually cares about a woman as his envoy? It's really weird." Liu Che couldn't help but murmured to himself.
Huo Guang on the other side whispered: "Your Majesty, this woman's identity is not simple. She is Gongsun Xuanyuan's adopted sister and a former female military advisor of the Liao Army."
Liu Che looked astonished: "It's her. No wonder the name Ye Qingmei sounds so familiar to me."
Ye Qingmei is well-known in Youzhou. Even Liu Che has heard of her name. Unfortunately, he has never had the chance to meet her. He doesn't want to see such a scene after meeting her.
Liu Che is also a person who wants to be proud. In addition, he has a good personal relationship with Gongsun Xuanyuan, so he will not embarrass Ye Qingmei, a female prostitute. He originally wanted to embarrass the Qin envoy so as to take the opportunity to raise his status, but now he is embarrassed to speak. .
While Liu Che was sizing up Ye Qingmei, Ye Qingmei was also sizing up Liu Che, only to find that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was also a handsome man, ranking among the top three among all the handsome men before her. Only Qin Hao could hold down Liu Che. .
"uh-huh."
Seeing that Ye Qingmei was silent, Liu Che pretended to cough and asked, "Miss Ye, why did Qin Hao send you as his envoy?"
No matter from any angle, Ye Qingmei was not qualified to be the envoy of Qin, but he happened to stand in front of him. This was what Liu Che was most puzzled about.
"Your Majesty, there is no intention to negotiate within the Qin army. This little girl can't bear Yanjing turning into a dead city, so she insists on coming to negotiate with your Majesty." Ye Qingmei said seriously.
Hearing this, Liu Che's expression suddenly changed. This was completely different from what he expected.
He thought that the Qin army wanted to reduce casualties, so he sent envoys to persuade him to surrender. After a long time, it was Ye Qingmei who made his own decision, which caught him off guard.
At the same time, Liu Che also realized that this was the only opportunity to negotiate terms. If he missed Ye Qingmei, he would no longer be qualified to negotiate terms with Qin Jun.
At this thought, Liu Che looked at Ye Qingmei with less scrutiny and more respect in his eyes.
This woman risked her own life for the safety of others and came to negotiate with herself personally. She is a heroine and she deserves her own respect.
“Come, please give me a seat.” Liu Che said calmly.
“No need, the little girl came to Yanjing not to enjoy herself, but to stop this meaningless war.”
With that said, Ye Qingmei raised her head, looked at Liu Che without fear, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, admit defeat, you have already lost, completely lost..."
“Bold.”
Before Ye Qingmei finished speaking, a group of Han ministers suddenly exploded and reprimanded Ye Qingmei one after another. Ye Qingmei was drowned in the sound.
bump…
Liu Che slapped the dragon chair hard and said angrily: "Shut up, everyone."
The noise stopped instantly, and no one dared to speak anymore.
Ye Qingmei was secretly frightened when she saw this. She didn't expect that Liu Che would still have such a high prestige when the country was on the verge of destruction. He was truly worthy of being the Great Emperor of Han Dynasty.
“Your Majesty, Yanjing is already an isolated city. It will only be a matter of time before it is captured. If the Han people continue to fight among themselves, it will only make the Manchus more advantageous..."
"Okay." Liu Che raised his hand to interrupt Ye Qingmei and said calmly: "I know your purpose, so let's get straight to the point. Do you want me to open the city and surrender? Yes, I can even order Wei Qing, Li Ling, and Tian Yu to all Kaicheng surrenders, but the Qin army must agree to one condition. "
Ye Qingmei was interrupted before she could finish her words. She couldn't help but scream inwardly, but after hearing Liu Che's words, she was stunned.
"well?"
Ye Qingmei suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
On the way to Yanjing, Ye Qingmei thought a lot. What to say during the negotiation, she simulated it in her mind no less than a hundred times.
She is prepared to gradually break down Liu Che's psychological defenses from multiple perspectives such as justice and nationality, making him feel ashamed, repentant, and finally accept her surrender.
What Ye Qingmei never expected was that before she even opened her mouth, Liu Che took the initiative to put forward the conditions, with no intention of stubbornly resisting.
Are all the big guys so straightforward?
Ye Qingmei was not afraid of Liu Che's conditions. What she was most afraid of was that Liu Che was unwilling to even mention the conditions and would drag the whole city to bury him with him. Fortunately, Liu Che was not so mad.
"Your Majesty, although the King of Qin has appointed this little girl as his envoy, the authority given to him is limited. I am afraid that I will not be able to agree to the excessive request. Please don't embarrass a weak woman like me."
Ye Qingmei said quickly. She was also afraid that the other party would speak loudly, so she forcibly blocked Liu Che's last words.
“Don’t worry, my request is not excessive at all.”
Liu Che showed a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.
…
Soon, the negotiations ended.
Ye Qingmei walked out of the palace in a daze, and under the guidance of Xue Gang, left Yanjing in a hanging basket and returned to the Qin army camp.
When the generals of the Qin army saw that Ye Qingmei had returned safely, they felt relieved and said to themselves: Liu Che still had a bottom line and did not embarrass a weak woman.
Seeing Ye Qingmei's frown, the generals knew the outcome of the negotiation, but they still asked: "Madam, what's the result?"
“Liu Che agreed to surrender.”
“If you refuse, just refuse...huh?”
Su Dingfang turned around suddenly and said in disbelief: "Did Liu Che agree to surrender?"
"Um."
Ye Qingmei nodded and said, "But there is one condition."
"What conditions? It's impossible to spare his life." Xue Rengui said.
"Liu Che is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He probably doesn't want to save his own life." Su Dingfang said.
Although Su Dingfang and Liu Che have always been at odds, he still admires Liu Che's character very much. He is the first to say that Liu Che is afraid of death. He doesn't believe it.
“Liu Che hopes that our army can let his wife and children go. As long as he agrees to this condition, he will not only order Kaicheng to surrender, but also ask Wei Qing, Li Ling, and Tian Yu to surrender as well.”
“What? Is it that simple?”
The generals exclaimed in surprise. They thought Liu Che would make some excessive demands, but they did not expect that the conditions Liu Che proposed were so simple, and could even be described as humble.
