Chapter 973: Dong Zhuo's Compromise
Chang'an, Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Aren't they all quite able to talk about each one, why is the key being that they are all dumb?"
Dong Zhuo glared angrily at the ministers under the hall and scolded: "A group of people can't even say that one person, what's the use of the miscellaneous family wanting you to wait?"
Waste, it's all a bunch of waste, and the faces of the miscellaneous people are all lost to you. β
All the ministers of the Liang army pulled their heads, and their hearts were extremely aggrieved, but they didn't dare to refute the angry Dong Zhuo, after all, they really couldn't argue with Pei Ju.
After Dong Zhuo scolded the ministers for a long time, most of the anger in his heart was extinguished, and then he snorted coldly and asked the three of them, "Three military advisors, what do you think we should do?" β
After Li Ru, Jia Xu and LΓΌ Buwei glanced at each other, Li Ru was the first to stand up and said: "My lord, peace talks must be made peaceful, but this is not the way to talk about peace. β
"Son-in-law, how do you think we should negotiate?"
"The coalition army opened its mouth this time, Pei Ju opened his mouth and asked us to give up the three counties, and also let the lord surrender himself to the position of duke, but he didn't mention the release of the captured generals and prisoners of war."
At this time, Li Ru cautiously glanced at Dong Zhuo, and then continued: "My subordinates believe that future negotiations should focus on how to ask for prisoners of war and generals. β
Dong Zhuo immediately showed displeasure on his face, and said lightly: "In this way, you also think that the Miscellaneous Family should agree to the two conditions of the coalition army?" β
"This ......"
Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo's face was not good, and he didn't dare to continue to answer, and then Jia Xu stood up and persuaded:
"Lord, now that the Tiger Prison Pass has been lost, the three counties of Hongnong, Hedong and Hanoi have no danger to defend, and forcibly holding it will only increase casualties, it is better to exchange space for time, and after the strength of our army is restored, it will be enough to defeat Sizhou again.
As for the self-surrender to the position of duke, the coalition forces only want a step, which will not have any impact on you.
After the strength of our army is strong again, even if the lord directly claims the king, the princes still can't help you! β
Jia Xu's in-depth analysis also made Dong Zhuo fall into contemplation, and after a while, he sighed: "The miscellaneous family is unwilling...... That's it, these two conditions of the coalition army, the miscellaneous family agreed. β
Hearing this, Li Ru, Jia Xu and Lu Buwei glanced at each other, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they were really afraid that Dong Zhuo would continue to fight to the death with the coalition army, and the losses of the Liang army would only be more heavy at that time.
The next day, negotiations resumed.
Due to Dong Zhuo's extremely tough attitude yesterday, Pei Ju thought that it would take more than ten days to negotiate and spend a lot of words to persuade him.
But when he heard that Dong Zhuo agreed directly, Pei Ju couldn't help but feel extremely surprised, and Dong Zhuo's next words made him a little embarrassed.
"The miscellaneous family can agree to Qin Hao's conditions, but Qin Hao must also agree to the miscellaneous family's conditions."
Pei Ju frowned slightly, and asked: "Come on, as long as it's not too excessive, I think the princes shouldn't refuse." β
"The conditions proposed by the miscellaneous family are absolutely not excessive, as long as the coalition forces release the captured generals and prisoners of war."
Pei Ju's brows couldn't help frowning even tighter, he also knew that this condition was not too much, but the worst thing was that Li Shimin was also among the captured generals, and Qin Hao would never let Li Shimin go.
"Prime Minister, the soldier is easy to say, but it is impossible to release it directly, the prime minister can redeem it with money and food, as for the captured generals......"
Pei Ju looked up at Dong Zhuo's face, and when he saw that it was fine, he continued: "This is a bit troublesome. β
"What's the trouble?" Dong Zhuo pretended to be displeased and said.
"The generals who have not surrendered can be redeemed, but Han Baohu, Ding Yanping, Zhang Xutuo and other generals have surrendered, and I am afraid they will not be able to return to the Liang army."
After Ding Yanping was captured, after Qin Hao and Luo Cheng's persuasion in turn, he finally surrendered, after all, his brother-in-law and son-in-law were in the Qin army.
As for Han Baohu, who was captured by Bai Qisheng, because he was Han Dang's brother, Sun Jian personally asked Qin Hao for it several times.
After Qin Hao weighed the pros and cons, he finally handed it over to Sun Jian, and Han Baohu also took advantage of the situation to demote Sun Jian.
As for Zhang Xutuo, although he did not surrender, he was captured by Zhao Kuangyin, and it was absolutely impossible to let Zhao Kuangyin release him, so in order to negotiate smoothly, Pei Ju simply said that he also surrendered.
Dong Zhuo's eyes couldn't help but flash with disappointment after hearing this, and after a long breath of turbidity, he said in a deep voice: "People have their own ambitions, and they can't be forced, I hope they can get better development if they are the queen of others." β
Speaking of this time, Dong Zhuo was also a little distracted, so he left alone, and persuaded Li Ru to negotiate with him, which shows that the surrender of the generals under his command also dealt a certain blow to him.
In fact, the negotiations have basically been carried out now, but there are still many details that need to be slowly discussed.
The mere issue of the soldier's ransom caused the two sides to quarrel at the negotiating table, and both sides wanted to fight for greater benefits.
And when it came to Li Shimin's issue, the negotiations almost fell into freezing, and even Dong Zhuo, who had already left, returned.
"Mr. Pei, I heard that you are also from a big family, why are you making up so nonsense?"
Dong Zhuo looked at Pei Ju coldly, and asked sharply: "After the battle of Luoyang, Shimin has not heard any news so far, he is not in the coalition army, is he still in my Liang army?" β
Pei Ju looked directly into Dong Zhuo's eyes, and said without blushing and without a heartbeat: "Pei Ju doesn't dare to deceive the prime minister, General Li Shimin is really not in the Qin army."
Anything can happen on the battlefield, General Li may be captured by other princes, of course, some have been killed, this is all inaccurate, and please mourn the Prime Minister. β
Dong Zhuo's face was extremely cold, and he said coldly: "So Qin Hao is ready to die and not admit it?" β
Pei Ju knew that Dong Zhuo was on the verge of an outbreak, and immediately said: "Prime Minister, I am just a small messenger below, and some of them are the masters of the Hou Ye."
In this way, the conditions of the prime minister can be conveyed on behalf of the prime minister, and it depends on the will of God whether it will be successful or not. β
"Go back and tell your father-in-law, there is only one truce condition for the miscellaneous family now, that is, Li Shimin must be released, otherwise the miscellaneous family will fight with him Qin Hao to the end."
Dong Zhuo almost finished speaking, and as soon as the words fell, he turned his head and left directly, because he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the killing intent in his heart, and if he killed Pei Ju, everything would be over.
Pei Ju looked at Dong Zhuo's back with a solemn face, and he didn't expect that in Dong Zhuo's heart, Li Shimin's status was so high.
Seeing that Pei Ju had been in a daze, Li Ru patted him on the shoulder and said lightly: "Mr. Pei, please go back." β
Pei Ju instantly came back to his senses and arched his hand: "Farewell." β
