Chapter 190: The Peace Talks That Didn’t Go Well
After several days of preparation, Qi Yan's formal peace talks finally began.
As almost everyone expected, the peace talks didn't get off to a smooth start. Especially when both Qi and Yan still have the strength to fight.
The Yan army holds Luoyue Pass, and its main force still remains. The same goes for Qi Jun.
Both sides feel that they can do it, so neither side is willing to make concessions on issues that both sides care about.
Especially since there was also the King of Southwest in the Qi delegation, he was often able to sharpen issues that were not too acute, so that the two sides talked for several days, but there was no substantive progress.
He Yunxiao's meeting made everyone numb.
That's all the back and forth. Everyone just needs to take a step back. I don’t know what there is to argue about.
Qi Fang: Asked Yan Fang to abandon Luoyue Pass unconditionally and return to the territory of Yan State.
Yan Fang: Yes, but you cannot train military horses in Hexi County.
Qi Fang: It is impossible not to raise horses without raising them.
Yan Fang: Then I won’t give up on Luoyue Pass.
Qi Fang: Don’t give up and wait for me to overcome the flood.
Yan Fang: You flood, if you have the ability, flood.
…
On the carriage back to the restaurant, He Yunxiao asked his "brain" for advice: "Weak, when will this peace negotiation end?"
Fan Zi smiled weakly and said: "There is no need to rush this matter, take your time."
He Yunxiao said: "It's just such a thing, it's pointless to argue about it."
Fan Ziruo said: "You can't just settle the matter as soon as you meet, right? If both sides could have this view, there would be no war before."
"How far must it go before the peace talks are over?"
"The State of Yan is weaker than the State of Qi, but the Emperor Yan is strong. Therefore, even if the State of Yan fails to attack and retreats to Luoyue Pass, it will still belong to the attacking side. The State of Qi is stronger than the State of Yan, but the eldest princess does not have much time. , After she went into seclusion, the new emperor was young, and his first task was to deal with internal affairs and check and balance the government, so Qi was the defender at the negotiation table. "
He Yunxiao's "Queen's Brain" Fan Ziruo explained patiently.
"The core demand of the Qi State is very simple, which is to 'maintain the status quo'. If there is any big strategy, we will wait until the young Emperor Qi takes control of the government. But the Yan State is different. They took the initiative to attack and paid money and sacrifices. If they cannot achieve some results, It’s unjustifiable. Moreover, Emperor Yan also needs to benefit from this negotiation to prepare for the next attack.”
He Yunxiao said somewhat clearly: "So Yan State doesn't let Qi State raise horses?"
Fan Ziruo smiled softly and said: "Exactly. Imagine, once Qi loses its cavalry, how will it compete with the Yan army's cavalry head-on?"
He Yunxiao was not stupid, "It's impossible to agree to this condition, right?"
Fan Ziruo looked at him and said with a smile in his eyes: "My husband is quite smart."
He Yunxiao's face was full of black lines, "I always feel like you are laughing at me."
The weakling stretched out his hand to lightly cover his mouth, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, looking quite happy.
He Yunxiao grimaced and drove away. Taking advantage of the large space in the carriage, he simply lay down and rested his head on Xiubao's legs. Let her laugh.
If we can't take advantage of the frontal battlefield, why not take advantage of the side battlefield?
Fan Zixi didn't mind at all, she tangled her fingers in his hair, put her legs together, and let him rest her head quietly.
The tender look in the weakling's eyes made He Yunxiao's heart itch, but he shouldn't think about getting married until the peace talks were completed.
"So, why did Yan make a request that Qi couldn't accept?"
Fan Zi said softly: "Of course it is a request that Qi State can accept."
He Yunxiao realized that if he wanted to open the window, he had to lift the roof first, right?
Now that we know the bottom line of Qi State, what is the bottom line of Yan State?
He Yunxiao thought about it for a moment, and then gave up the idea of asking Li Xiangjun directly. Let's not talk about whether Li Xiangjun would tell him. He always felt that he was always "cheating", so he just stopped playing this game.
ps: I can’t write it down today, so that’s all.
