Chapter two hundred and eighty
Incite public anger, and then attack them in groups.
This was the innate advantage of the anti-Qin side. Xiang Yu took the initiative to recover the territory for the princes, which immediately excited the envoys of the princes.
The Qin army's victory on the battlefield and the continuous expansion of the Qin territory made all the princes feel stressed. As the winners of vested interests, they naturally do not want to be deprived of power. Li Yuan, on the high platform, fell into a controversy under the careful arrangement of the other party.
"Zhang Er, you, an abolished king, are you here and there noisy? And you, Shusun Tong, just driven out by Chu State, ran to the King of Yan to pick up the right and wrong. He really lost all the face of the great Confucian scholars of Guandong, and——." Just as Zhang Er and others were proud, Lu Jia, who followed Li Yuan and watched coldly, suddenly started to curse.
"What are you returning territory? Zhang Er, how did your Changshan land fall? Did I defeat you and occupy it? No, now General Zhongli is here, are you trying to get back to General Zhongli's fiefdom? Then you really found the wrong person to find my Wuhou. As for Zhao land, Zhao Xie is now in Handan and has accepted the position of Handan Order of the Great Qin State. He did not say that he would drive my Great Qin army out. What are you people? Oh, bah."
Li Yuan has always heard that Lu Jia is very eloquent, but he has never heard him show off in person. This time, he really learned what the style of the first debater is. Lu Jia was alone in fighting against the envoys, and for a moment, these screams of scolding made Li Yuan feel refreshed.
"Lu Sheng, you, the traitor who is betrayal of yours, dare to humiliate me. I have fought with you." Zhang Er was exposed by Lu Jialian's scar. Finally, he lost his demeanor and reason. He wanted to rush over to fight with Lu Jia, but he took one step but did not want to be conspired by the steps under his feet, causing him to fall down in the form of a backshot.
"Mr. Zhang is injured, call me a doctor." There was a chaos in the audience. The messengers of various families who had originally cooperated with each other were also a little plotted by Lu Jia and Zhang Er's disturbance.
"Haha, the Lord Shen misunderstood. My king has never participated in military operations against Qin. Therefore, our Yan State has no unfavorable intentions to Qin. Zhang Er speculated nonsense." Shusun Tong was so treacherous that he was very sloppy. After seeing Zhang Er defeat, he immediately changed his attitude.
King Zang Tu of Yan sent Shusun Tong to Chenggao this time, with the attitude of being the two ends of the head and rat. From the perspective of regional borders, after the Qin army occupied Dai land, Yan State and Qin State were only separated by Yishui. If Li Yuan angered Li Yuan and sent a large army to attack him, Zang Tu really made the sky and the earth no longer work.
"Mr. Shusun, please sit down. In this alliance, my Daqin attitude is sincere. I am willing to listen to the requests of all the envoys. We can sit down and talk about anything we have. There is no need to tear each other offend like we did just now. It is a shame for each other to say so many embarrassing words. When we do things, we focus on keeping people at the forefront, not putting in the wrong way. Everyone is right."
With Lu Jia playing the role of a white face, Li Yuan was also able to perform the role of a blushing role. After seeing Lu Jia's savage skills, the envoys did not dare to start the battle lightly.
The next alliance banquet gradually turned into a gathering of compliments, communication and contact with each other. For these famous people who work, which boss they work for depends mainly on whether the price they offer is attractive. Li Yuan's persuasion just now made these messengers feel even more excited.
Xiang Yu looked at the lively banquet with a calm face and cold eyes. Compared to the more and more people squeezing around Li Yuan, there was a deserted person in front of him, and almost no one was approaching him. Even Xiang Bo, who was on his side, stretched his neck long, hoping that he could hear one or two sentences from the noisy voices.
"All these things that are scammers should be killed!" Xiang Yu was furious, pressing his hand on his sword and his face was unstable. An alliance he was presided over gradually developed in a direction that was beneficial to Qin, which was absolutely intolerable to Xiang Yu.
"Come, please continue to give me instructions. It's getting late. Today's party will end here. If you have anything to mention tomorrow." Xiang Yu suddenly stood up and shouted.
After saying that, Xiang Yu did not wait for everyone to answer, and he took a big step to take a group of people from Chu to the steps. The wooden stairs made an overwhelming creaking sound under Xiang Yu's gravity.
"It's just after noon, and it's still good, so why?"
"I don't understand this. The Overlord is hungry, so I'll have a meal first." The messenger who couldn't turn around for a moment asked the person next to him with a confused look on his face, but was rolled by another even more idiotic person.
"You are idiots. You didn't see that the generals of the Chu army were already preparing to remove the wooden ladder. Let's step down the stage quickly." In a panic, the envoys rushed down the platform. For the so-called debaters who were dealing with the small princes, Xiang Yu and Li Yuan could not afford to offend them.
The first day of negotiations.
Although there was no result, Li Yuan was in a very good mood. In addition to seeing Xiang Yu almost vomiting blood due to anger, Lu Jia's sudden outbreak also made him feel relieved.
Lu Jia's stand-up this time means that in his heart, he has regarded Qin as his own country, and it also means that Li Yuan's decision to force Lu Jia to stay was not wrong.
There are many ways to employ people.
Forced stay is undoubtedly the most domineering one. If Lu Jia is strong in nature, Li Yuan is likely to be frustrated and get nothing. Fortunately, Lu Jia is not the kind of person who is irresponsible and does not know how to adapt.
After getting off the high platform, Li Yuan and his group embarked on the way home with a good mood. On the side of the Sishui River, the Qin army soldiers had already set up camps and arranged accommodation tents.
Today, some people are destined to suffer from insomnia, some people are irritable, and some people are suffering from pain.
——.
After dinner, Li Yuan ordered people to light up the oil lamp on the table and lay on the table to review the Guan Wen who had just been sent from Hulao Pass. At the same time, he also wanted to write a letter to Chen Ping, the prime minister of Chang'an City.
The content of the letter involves today's disputes between the Manghui. As Li Yuan said on the high platform, the expansion of Qin's territory has made more and more talents urgently needed. In this era of underdeveloped information, word of mouth is the most effective method to attract talented people to join.
Although the people attending the meeting today also had boastful things, it is undeniable that there are still many talents with specialties. Li Yuan did not expect these people to immediately abandon their original position and instead serve Qin. He just wanted to use these people's mouths to release the news that Qin was interested in recruiting talents.
With the help of these so-called famous scholars, Li Yuan believed that the powerful Qin State would also receive more and more support from knowledgeable people.
What Chen Ping had to do next was to welcome those who were indeed determined to contribute to the great cause of Qin's rejuvenation with a humble heart, regardless of whether he was from Chu, Qi, Zhao, or anyone else.
Li Yuan was a little worried about Chen Ping when it came to tolerance, which was also the reason why he wanted to write a letter to remind him.
"Report to Marquis Wu, the Uncle Xiang came again, saying that King Xiang Yu of Chu asked him to send a letter to Marquis Li." At the door, Gan Yong held a silk letter in his hand and raised the curtain with a strange expression.
"What letter?" Li Yuanyi frowned and asked.
"Please take a look at the Marquis of Wu." Gan Yong took a few steps, stepped forward and handed over the letter, then retreated to the side and waited for Li Yuan to take apart and read it.
The letters are very short.
There are only a few lines of words.
Li Yuan glanced past almost in one glance, but after seeing it, his face was extremely ferocious, and even his eyes, which had always been peaceful, became sharp.
"Gan Yong!"
"The last one will be there."
"Immediately, we will order five hundred elite soldiers to go to Sishui with me. Xiang Yu will invite him to see you in the evening." Li Yuan shouted in a deep voice.
"Wuhou, is this allowed General Cao Xin to lead the crowd to follow? In addition, if General Jiang Yu wants to notify Hulao Pass?" Gan Yong hesitated.
"Don't worry, Xiang Yu wants to kill me, it's not that easy. Go and tell Cao Xin that after an hour, take his Yuezhi soldiers to the Sishui River to respond." Li Yuan gave the order, put on his armor and walked quickly towards the door of the camp.
Xiang Yu's letter mentioned a shocking news. The 200,000 Qin army captured by Chu State captured 5,000 stroked people have been escorted to the vicinity of Chenggao. If Li Yuan wanted to redeem them, he would go to the river beach of Sishui at midnight tonight and have a secret talk with Xiang Yu.
Avoiding the envoys of various princes, the two hostile leaders of Qin and Chu, invited them to see each other alone. If the famous scholars and scholars knew about this incredible behavior, they would have to fall all over the ground.
Li Yuan did not doubt Xiang Yu's sincerity in secret talks. To be honest, Xiang Yu's character is much better than a rogue like Liu Bang. In addition, Li Yuan was not afraid. Xiang Yu would take advantage of the night to make a beheading raid. Although Gan Yong's part may not be outstanding in offense, he performed well in defense.
Redemption of prisoners.
It can alleviate the tension in Qin's military strength as soon as possible, and at the same time, it can also reunite families that have been separated for several years. Of course, there are also embarrassing things in it. For example, if Han Si's bride comes back, if Han Si is not dead yet, it would be a mess.
These sesame and mung bean matters are managed by officials who deal with the internal affairs. Li Yuan doesn’t need to consider such a detailed issue. What he wants to think about is what Xiang Yu wants to obtain from Qin?
Is it land or something else.
If it were land, would Chu think about Zhao land that had just been occupied by the Qin army or other places, and if it were not land, what would Xiang Yu pay attention to with his temper? Could it be that he was attracted by the Qin army's strong combat power and wanted the Chu army to follow suit? If this is true, it would be necessary to avoid those envoys.
The generals of the Western Chu Dynasty actually learned advanced technology from the hostile Qin army. After this spread, Xiang Yu's face was too thick to withstand the public's words.
Li Yuan guessed that he had only found some fur along the way. When he arrived at Sishui, Xiang Yu had already asked someone to light a torch early and had been waiting for a long time.
