Negotiation is a hard and unpleasant thing. Before obtaining Li Yuan’s consent or authorization, a smart person like Chen Ping would certainly not cross the bottom line. After appropriate testing, he arranged for Lu Jia to stay in front and quickly report to Li Yuan.

In the first round of confrontation, Chen Ping can be said to have won a complete victory. Lu Jia's failure is not so much a lack of his personal ability, but rather a forced by the situation.

Peace talks.

If both parties want to talk, then an agreement will be reached soon. If one party wants to talk, the other party does not want to talk, or the negotiation desire is not strong, then for the party who wants to talk, it can only be a humiliating acceptance of the conditions of inequality.

——.

In February, outside Xianyang.

The cold wind in the northwest blew the bushes of weeds all over the place, and then they penetrated straight into the clothes that were leaking into the gaps and pressed against their bodies coldly.

This is the winter in the north.

It is so cold that it makes people feel unbearable. Compared with this, Lu Jia hopes that he can live in the warm south, warmly shining on Hexi's sunshine and enjoy the pleasure of heat gathering in his body.

Lu Jia followed Chen Ping all the way, feeling very strange. He never expected that a big man like Li Yuan would abandon his residence in the city and stay in the military tent in the wilderness.

Leyouyuan.

Where is the Qin army's central army located.

This continuous highland wasteland is an excellent place for Li Yuan, who is determined to train troops. Its location is not far from Xianyang and is only more than 170 miles away from Lantian Pass that Liu Bang still occupies. The Qin army stationed here, which can just act as a deterrent to the Han army.

At the same time, as long as the time is right, Li Yuan can still set up a large army at any time and launch a large army into Lantian Pass, driving Liu Bang into the plank road canyon of the Qinling Mountains in one fell swoop.

When Chen Ping came in to report, Li Yuan was standing in front of the sand table representing the terrain of Guanzhong, and studied the current battlefield situation with several military captains and military marquis first-level generals.

Unlike Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and other princes, Li Yuan, in addition to military discussions among senior generals, he also liked to gather lower-level officers to discuss the situation of the war. This was a habit that Li Yuan came from later generations. He was just a corporal in the People's Army, and he was closer to the grassroots officer who directly led the troops to fight from the bottom of his bones.

When Li Yuan heard the news that the Han envoy Lu Jia came, he felt aroused. This was not that he was surprised by Liu Bang's proposal, but that Lu Jia was a person who remembered him deeply.

It was different from Li Shiqi's ability to show his talents only when the Chu-Han clashes. Lu Jia's achievements in Chinese history mainly came from his two missions. After Liu Bang pacified the Central Plains, Lu Jia went to Lingnan twice and successfully lobbying Zhao Tuo not to confront the Han Dynasty. It was precisely because of Lu Jia's eloquence that the Han Dynasty had the initial stability of rest and recuperation.

"Lu Jia, did you tell me about Liu Bang's conditions?" Li Yuan asked.

"The specific conditions are not stated, but depending on Lu Jia's intention, Liu Bang should be more anxious!" Chen Ping shook his head and said.

"Since that's the case, let Lu Jia come in and see him, and let him hear what he said?" Li Yuan smiled. Liu Bang made a peace talk, which was very consistent with the style of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. If he could beat him, he would fight, and if he couldn't beat him, he would negotiate. Xiang Yu in history was caused by Liu Bang's rogue tactics and ended up losing his life.

Now, Liu Bang used this trick again, which made Li Yuan unable to help but be curious about what conditions Lu Jia would say.

——.

"Lu Jia, the envoy of Han Dynasty, please see Li Hou of the Great Qin!" Lu Jia entered the tent, and after several steps, Fang Shi raised his head and said loudly. Looking at the young Qin army generals in the tent, he couldn't tell which one was Li Yuan. Look at this and that one was good.

"Lu Jia, Marquis Li is here." Chen Ping's voice sounded. When Lu Jia was confused, his old acquaintance Chen Ping couldn't bear to see Lu Jia's jokes and saved him.

In Lu Jia's eyes, Li Yuan's appearance in front of him was dressed no differently than other military marquises and lieutenants in the army. Judging from his age, it was not much different. The only thing that gave Lu Jia a different impression was Li Yuan's pair of bright eyes that seemed to have insight into everything.

"Marquis Li, the King of Han has a letter, please let Lu present it." After Lu Jia said that, he took out a long piece of silk cloth from his close-fitting underwear and held it with respectfully.

Li Yuan was stunned. Liu Bang also had letters. No matter from which aspect, he had no friendship with Liu Bang. What did Liu Bang write in this letter? Could it be that he would talk about the sorrow of parting after the farewell in Xingyang?

Chen Ping took the silk letter from Lu Jia with a gloomy face and sent it to Li Yuan. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Lu Jia's hidden move.

Li Yuan took the silk book and opened it to look at it. He saw several lines of seal characters on the brocade. He carefully identified it. It was a sincere letter written by Liu Bang, praising Li Yuan for his young, promising and superb flattery. The words were full of flowers and the sword was beautiful. The only thing that was wrong was the two characters Liu Ji signed. Compared with the seal characters in the front, the characters were much worse.

"Haha, Zhang Zifang took a lot of time to write this letter, but it was also a blessing that he spent a lot of effort. Thank you!" Li Yuan saw it and said with a smile.

"Marquis Li, this letter was written by the King of Han-!" Lu Jia's face was a little unnatural and he argued forcefully.

"Liu Aji, a mere rogue pavilion leader, can write such fonts. Mr. Lu is bullying me, Li Yuan, illiterate?" Li Yuan suddenly turned cold and shouted angrily.

"Marquis Li, please calm down. The King of Han has no malice. This letter is indeed the idea of ​​Marquis Liu." Lu Jia was a little panicked when Li Yuan glared like this, and was afraid that Lu Jia, who had collapsed before the negotiations began, had no choice but to tell the truth.

This letter was handed to him by Zhang Liang when he was leaving. The purpose was to use this letter to spy on Li Yuan's temperament and see what weaknesses he has in his personality that can be used.

"Zhang Liang, it's him again." Li Yuan couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart.

When the princes compete for hegemony, the strong become kings.

The weak and destruction of South Korea is itself an inevitable result of this era, just as the current Qin State was also attacked and destroyed by the anti-Qin forces because of its weakness.

According to Li Yuan's idea, the Qin State was also attacked by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and it was basically destroyed. As for the Qin army that later was completely created by Li Yuan, it had nothing to do with the original Qin State except inheritance. However, Zhang Liang was still so resolute and had no other words to describe it except stubbornness.

With Zhang Liang's identity as a descendant of South Korea and his personality, Li Yuan thought that the possibility of Zhang Liang finally serving Qin was almost zero.

A stubborn person, no matter how talented he is, cannot make Li Yuan feel good about him.

A man’s husband is a seven-foot body, not for personal struggles, but for building unparalleled achievements and building a foundation for eternity.
