Chapter 972: Pei Juyu fights the ministers
"The alliance leader's words are reasonable, if you leave like this, it is indeed too cheap Dong Zhuo's old thief."
"That's right, I'll force Dong Zhuo to lower his title first, and then leave the same."
"yes, it's not bad these days anyway."
……
The princes who were still clamoring to leave just now, after hearing what Qin Hao said, they didn't want to leave for the time being, after all, they had paid such a big price, and it was indeed not bad to wait a few more days.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's eyes were full of helplessness, they couldn't stay in all the princes, but the two of them left, right?
Seeing that all the princes had promised not to leave for the time being, Qin Hao also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in his heart: Finally stabilized these people temporarily, and the next envoy negotiations must also be accelerated.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder who is willing to send someone who can speak well to negotiate with Dong Zhuo on behalf of our coalition forces?" Qin Hao looked at the princes and asked.
But the result was silent, none of the princes were willing to send their own people, and they were afraid that with Dong Zhuo's violent temper of killing people, it was not impossible to click the envoy directly.
When this messenger goes to negotiate with Dong Zhuo, he really has to be not afraid of death!
Just when Qin Hao was about to send a dead soldier to go, Pei Ju, who had not spoken, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Lord, my subordinates are willing to send an envoy to Chang'an, and persuade Dong Zhuo to lower his title with a three-inch tongue." ”
"Well, this ...... With the talent of a gentleman, it would be useless to serve as a messenger, so it's better to send someone else. ”
Qin Hao hesitated for a moment and then politely refused.
Don't look at Pei Ju's martial arts cultivation as a half-step grand master, but if he wants to see Dong Zhuo himself, he will definitely be blocked with all his skills, and once Dong Zhuo has murderous intentions, Pei Ju won't be able to run away if he wants to.
Pei Ju is one of the top all-rounders in Qin Hao's hands, and Qin Hao is still looking forward to the day when he breaks through to the Great Grandmaster, of course, he is afraid that Dong Zhuo will directly click Pei Ju, so it is better to send a dead soldier than to take that risk.
Qin Hao was really for Pei Ju's good, but Pei Ju didn't seem to be worried about his own safety at all, and said confidently: "My lord, please rest assured, although Dong Zhuo is brutal, but the two armies will not fight each other, and he will not be embarrassed by the envoys, I have absolute certainty that I can return with my whole body." ”
Pei Ju was determined to go, and Qin Hao couldn't dampen his enthusiasm, so he could only nod and agree to send Pei Ju as an envoy.
In front of the princes of the Thirty-six Routes, Qin Hao named Pei Ju as the envoy of the coalition army, and ordered him to be born in Chang'an on behalf of the princes and the coalition army.
As soon as Pei Ju's front foot left, Qin Hao asked Lang Yu to secretly contact Tianzi No. 1 lurking in Chang'an, once Dong Zhuo really had murderous intentions, he hoped that Tianzi No. 1 could try his best to save Pei Ju's life.
Pei Ju, in the name of the princes of the 36th Road, was extremely high-profile on the way to Chang'an, and even more arrogant after arriving in Chang'an, because in this way he could appear that the coalition army was full of confidence, so as to facilitate the next negotiations.
At the beginning, 300,000 Liang troops guarded Sizhou, but now there are only 80,000 left, and the defense line of Baguan has also been breached.
The total strength of the Liang army has also dropped from 500,000 at the beginning to 280,000 now, which can be described as a heavy loss and a great loss of vitality.
But who is to blame?
Is it to blame Li Shimin's improper command?
Dong Zhuo looked through all the battle reports, but found that from beginning to end of the battle, Li Shimin did not make any mistakes in command, but he was inexplicably defeated.
The heavy rain in front of the Tiger Prison Pass wiped out the entire army of 50,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, thus falling behind step by step.
And the reason why Luoyang fell was also because of the rebellion of the family and the fact that the traitors opened the city gate from the inside.
These can't be blamed on Li Shimin's head, besides, Li Shimin also designed to let the Liang army return safely, but he himself was trapped in the enemy camp, and he has not had the slightest whereabouts so far.
After reading all the battle reports, Dong Zhuo also thought that Li Shimin could not be blamed, Li Shimin had really done his best.
Even if Dong Zhuo personally led the army forward, it would not be better than Li Shimin, and if you want to blame, you can only blame God for helping the coalition army and not helping the Liang army!
"Prime Minister Qi, the rebel envoy Pei Juyi arrived in Chang'an and asked to meet you as soon as possible."
"Oh?"
Dong Zhuohu's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and he sneered: "The miscellaneous family wants to see what kind of ghost Qin Hao's kid has played." ”
The next day, Dong Zhuo met Pei Ju in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in accordance with the courtesy of the envoys of the princes, of course, it must have been under the condition of sealing Pei Ju's skills.
Although Pei Ju temporarily lost all his skills, he did not have the slightest fear, and calmly put forward the conditions for retreating.
Surrender to the duke and withdraw from Sizhou.
When Pei Ju said these two conditions, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Pei Ju sympathetically, and his expression was as if he was looking at a dead man.
Dare to say this in front of Dong Zhuo, this person is really a righteous man, if he does not die, he will definitely be famous all over the world, but unfortunately there will definitely not be that day.
"Sir, how daring!"
Dong Zhuo was like an angry lion, and he laughed angrily: "Just quit Sizhou, and you have to surrender to the duke?" Does the gentleman think the miscellaneous family will agree? ”
The generals of the Liang army also glared at Pei Ju angrily, as if they wanted to eat Pei Ju in one bite.
Facing the murderous Dong Zhuo, Pei Ju, who had no ability to resist, still refuted without humility or arrogance.
"The prime minister is a smart person, so he naturally makes the most correct decision......"
Under Pei Ju's analysis, it also resolved the anger in Dong Zhuo's heart, and the next few sharp and outspoken words made Dong Zhuo even more speechless.
Dong Zhuo saw that he couldn't talk about Pei Ju, so he gave the ministers below a look and asked his subordinates to engage in a verbal battle with Pei Ju.
Having lost 220,000 troops, Dong Zhuo was also distressed to death, and he didn't want to continue to die, but Qin Hao's two stopping conditions, he couldn't accept any of them.
Dong Zhuo hoped that the two sides would strike unconditionally, but he also knew that Qin Hao would definitely not agree, so he could only touch the bottom line by talking about it.
As the saying goes: a weak country has no diplomacy.
Although Pei Ju is alone, he is backed by the winning side, so.
Ren Liangjun and all the ministers, whether they were threats or reasonable, Pei Ju was as immobile as a mountain, and refuted them one by one.
A good show of a war of words against 'hundred officials' was staged in Weiyang Palace, and Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be stunned.
Usually all of them are quite able to speak, but in the face of Pei Ju, they can't even speak, and Dong Zhuo is angry in his heart.
The Wenchen of the Liang army also had a hard time, after all, no matter how they quibbled, the Liang army was defeated in this battle, and this is a fact that cannot be changed.
It is precisely because of this that Liang Jun naturally stood on the disadvantageous side during the negotiation process, and Pei Ju's eloquence was indeed powerful, so Liang Jun and the Wenchen did not have much room to play.
