Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 405 Shake hands and make peace, temporarily bow your head!

The palace, Zichen Palace.

After Zhao Suzi and his party arrived in Shendu, Su Qin, the Minister of Lifan Academy, was in charge of the initial contact, testing the bottom line of their respective negotiations.

It was not until the third day that Su Qin came to the palace to report.

In the main hall, apart from Su Qin, there were Prime Minister Xiao He who came here under the imperial edict, and Minister of Military Aircraft Guo Jia.

The atmosphere in the palace was a bit weird, until entering the palace, neither Xiao He nor Guo Jia had figured out Qian Yuan's attitude towards this matter.

It would be embarrassing if the prediction was wrong.

"What about the state of Chu?"

Qian Yuan, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't see anything from the surface.

Although the alliance of Qi, Chu and Zhao was unexpected, but after careful consideration, it is reasonable.Qianyuan encountered a similar situation more than once when he unified Penglai Island.

The road to be king will never be smooth sailing.

Su Qin replied: "The state of Chu means that they can withdraw from the northern part of the lion country, on the condition that we have to exchange the southern part of the country of 狌狌."

Qian Yuan raised his brows, Chu's restraint was somewhat beyond his expectation, he originally thought that with the support of Qi and Zhao, the Chu Congress would speak loudly.

"So, Chu State came here with sincerity?"

Qian Yuan looked at the two ministers, Xiao Guo, and motioned for the two ministers to express their opinions.

Guo Jia thought for a while, and said first: "Chu State still has self-knowledge. They know that the support of Qi and Zhao is more verbal, and the possibility of military cooperation between the three countries is not high."

"This minister also thinks so. Of course, the prerequisite for the Three Kingdoms not to use force is that we don't push Chu to a desperate situation." Xiao He directly expressed his position.

Qian Yuan said blankly: "So, Aiqing doesn't agree with going to war with Chu?"

Xiao He's expression was stagnant, he stabilized his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Yes." At this time, he can only persevere to the end, otherwise he will only appear to be even more substandard.

"reason?"

"The intention of Qi, Chu and Zhao to join hands to curb the rise of Dagan is very obvious. The more we fight back, the stronger the will of the three countries will be to resist. Rather than confronting Chu head-on now, I think it is better to be patient for the time being. Wait for this matter Slowly cool down, and then find a way to disintegrate the Three Kingdoms Alliance." Xiao He suggested.

Guo Jia also helped and said: "After conquering the Lion Kingdom, our army urgently needs to rest and replenish the consumed food and supplies. It is not the best time to start a full-scale war with the Chu Kingdom. I am worried that once the war starts, if all The two countries of Zhao are also involved, and the war will become more and more uncontrollable, and it is possible to continue for several years, which is not in line with the expansion strategy formulated by the imperial court before."

"It will also take time to digest the existing occupied areas." Xiao He added.

Seeing Xiao He and Guo Jia singing together, Qian Yuan laughed, "Okay, there's no need to pour medicine on me anymore, don't you think I'm that kind of tyrant who wants to use force?"

"Wei Chen is terrified!"

Xiao He, Guo Jia, including Su Qin, all knelt down.

"Get up!" Qian Yuan waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm still not confused, and I won't be arrogant. I have to say, this time, Chu State made a good move."

Qianyuan really didn't expect that the Chu State would ask Qi and Zhao countries to be his helpers. He originally thought that the Chu State would directly declare war on Dagan after being provoked in every possible way before.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the envoys of the State of Chu that the idea of ​​uniting Qi and Zhao was proposed by Zhao Suzi, the Elder of the Wanhua Sect." Su Qin said in a timely manner.

Qian Yuan's eyes brightened, "Is it Zhao Suzi who led the team this time?"

"It is this man."

"It's a good opponent." Qian Yuan nodded.

Following Qian Yuan's statement, the dignified atmosphere in Zichen Palace just now gradually relaxed. Xiao He and Guo Jia looked at each other, and they both saw the lingering fear in each other's eyes, as well as a sense of relief.

"So, agree to Chu's request?" Qian Yuan asked.

Guo Jiadao: "Your Majesty, I suggest that instead of exchanging with Chu, it is better to maintain the status quo."

"Maintain the status quo?" Qian Yuan was puzzled.

"The northern part of the Lion Kingdom still belongs to the Chu Kingdom, but the imperial court does not have to withdraw from the Xuan Kingdom." Guo Jia explained.

"Why is this?"

"There are two reasons." Guo Jia came prepared, "First, it is technically feasible to exchange occupied areas, but after all, it is necessary to hand over a piece of territory. I am worried that this will have some negative effects on the frontline soldiers. , For example, will the soldiers think that the imperial court is exchanging the spoils they took with their lives for benefits?"

Qian Yuan nodded, this is indeed a problem.

Prior to this, Qian Yuan's Dagan were all invincible, and had never suffered such a big loss. Once they made concessions, they would break their previous invincible image.

If you want to establish a similar image, it will be extremely difficult.

This kind of negative effect is not visible on the surface, but it will leave a shadow in the hearts of the soldiers. In the future, if they encounter hard battles, they may transform into demons and explode.

"There will be endless troubles." Qian Yuan became vigilant.

Guo Jia went on to say: "Secondly, the two territories are almost the same in terms of area, population and other resources, but the strategic value of the two is completely different, especially for the imperial court."

"How to say?"

Qian Yuan really didn't expect that there are so many loopholes in the seemingly impeccable exchange.

I still think it's too simple.

Guo Jia explained: "The northern part of the Lion Kingdom is just an ordinary territory for the imperial court, and there is no port, so it has no special value.

"The southern part of the Sui Kingdom is different. Not only is it near the sea, but it also has several excellent ports. More importantly, the southwestern area of ​​the Sui Kingdom is the westernmost part of the Dongsheng Divine Continent. Occupying this place, the imperial court will be able to reach the Nanzhan Department continent.

"On the opposite side of the gulf of Suan Kingdom are the Wu and Yue countries. The Zhao and Chu countries broke off the alliance with the imperial court and interrupted trade. The imperial court can establish diplomatic relations with the Wu and Yue countries and open up their maritime trade to make up for the losses."

"well said!"

Qianyuan was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The two ministers, Xiao He and Su Qin, also looked at Guo Jia with admiration. They were just assessing the impact of the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Qi, Chu and Zhao, but they didn't think that Guo Jia was already considering alternative plans.

The lofty vision is really admirable.

Qian Yuan looked at Su Qin, "The next negotiation with Chu State will be based on this."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will fulfill my mission." Su Qin is still very confident about this.

The settlement of the negotiation is tantamount to solving one of Qianyuan's concerns, and the previous depressed mood was relieved a little bit. Taking advantage of Xiao He's presence, Qianyuan took advantage of the situation and asked, "About the planning of the counties and counties of the Lion Kingdom, and the plans of the relevant officials?" Regarding appointment and dismissal, Shang Shutai must come up with a plan as soon as possible."

"Wei Chen understands."

Xiao He is naturally caring, and this is Shang Shutai's most important job right now.
