Yao Guang vomited blood, and his body was crumbling, looking like it was swaying in the wind. This scene frightened all the officials.
Yao Guang likes to watch singers dance, and even more likes to have in-depth exchanges of ideas with singers, but he also has the ability to govern.
With Yao Guang here, everyone benefits.
If Yao Guang dies, their interests will also be affected. These people don't want Yao Guang to go to war with Da Qian, and they don't want Yao Guang to have any big problems.
It is best to maintain the current situation.
Yao Ming immediately stepped forward, supported Yao Guang, and said loudly: "Where is the imperial doctor? Come quickly!"
He said urgently: "Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon body and not work too hard. Your Majesty has many things to do every day, so you have to do it! Just share the government affairs that should be shared with the Prime Minister. Only when your Majesty is here, the Great Liang will be stable."
The officials spoke one after another.
Everyone was worried about Yao Guang's health.
Yao Guang looked at it with a look of relief, waving his hand and saying that he was fine.
After the imperial doctor made another diagnosis and said it was just anger, Yao Guang was completely reassured and said again: "Zhao Shan wants to marry Yuhuang, it's an idiot's dream! I will never agree to this."
Yao Ming expressed his position: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for Da Liang to start a war with Zhao Shan, but we can have a talk."
Kang Yongyuan said: "The same goes for me."
Every official thinks that Jiang Yuhuang's matter is not a big problem, the key is to have a truce and negotiate a peace.
Yao Guang saw this and felt even more helpless. No one supported him.
how to spell?
Yao Guang thought quickly, how to break the current deadlock? With his prestige, he can naturally send troops by force, but Zhao Shan is so brave and invincible that even Jiang Yuhuang was defeated. What if he loses?
Once he loses, it will have a huge impact on his own prestige.
When Yao Guang thought of this, he stopped insisting and said, "Since we all think it's time to negotiate, I will negotiate with Zhao Shan to see what conditions he wants to put forward."
Kang Yongyuan said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Yao Ming said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Officials expressed their opinions one after another, as if Yao Guang was a virtuous king.
Yao Guang looked at the courtiers who opposed him to start a war and actively supported his negotiations, with a cold look in his eyes.
The reason why this group of people is like this is that they all have competing interests.
Yao Guang agreed to negotiate, but he didn't mess it up. He asked someone to bring a map near Chang'an and said in a deep voice: "I agree to negotiate with Zhao Shan, but negotiating with Zhao Shan also requires skills."
"If you can threaten Zhao Shan's safety during negotiations with Zhao Shan, you can take the initiative."
"For example, Sigu Mountain east of Chang'an."
"This is an important road. Controlling Sigu Mountain is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Chang'an and Tongguan and blocking Zhao Shan in Chang'an City."
Yao Guang raised his voice and said: "I don't want to start a full-scale war, but I can use a small-scale battle to force Zhao Shan to surrender and ensure that we get the prince and the general of the country back at the minimum price."
Yao Ming said again: "Your Majesty is wise, unparalleled in strategy, and sage!"
Kang Yongyuan said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The courtiers cheered again, and even Jiang Gui also cheered the Emperor Shengming. Anyway, as long as Yao Guang is willing to negotiate, it will be the best for everyone.
Yao Guang changed the subject and ordered: "Yang Xiong!"
"I'm here!"
Yang Xiong stood up and answered.
After this period of recovery, his leg no longer hurts and he can walk normally with a cane. It's just that complete recovery cannot be achieved in a short while, it will take several months.
Yao Guang nodded and said: "Go to Chang'an first to meet Zhao Shan and tell Zhao Shan that I will negotiate with him in Mei County, west of Chang'an."
Yang Xiong was a little afraid of Zhao Shan and said, "Your Majesty, my leg injury has not fully recovered, so I may not be able to do the job."
Yao Guang said calmly: "I sent you there with the pretense of showing weakness to Zhao Shan and asking him to lower his guard. Why, aren't you willing?"
A cold light flashed across Yao Guang's eyes.
Yang Xiong noticed the change in Yao Guang's demeanor and felt awe-inspiring. He said loudly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely complete the task."
Yao Guang waved his hand, and Yang Xiong left first with a cane.
Yao Guang arranged for Yang Xiong to go first, and then asked Kang Yongyuan, Yao Ming and Fan Tong to prepare for the war. The next morning, Yao Guang left Guzang County with his army in a mighty manner.
In order to ensure his own safety, Yao Guang mobilized 50,000 elite troops to accompany him, and also brought the last 8,000 snow dragon riders with him.
When Yao Guang went to Chang'an, although Yang Xiong was lame, he was good at riding and reached Chang'an city in the shortest time.
Yang Xiong entered the city to pay an audience and said straight to the point: "Emperor Zhao, His Majesty the Emperor of Daliang is willing to negotiate peace. We will negotiate in Mei County, west of Chang'an. What do you think?"
Zhao Shan thought quickly in his heart.
Yao Guang's willingness to negotiate proves that Zhuge Shang's strategy worked.
This is advantageous.
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "Go and tell Yao Guang that I agree to negotiate and wait for him to come."
"Farewell!"
Yang Xiong ran away in a hurry. He was worried about offending Zhao Shan, and it would be terrible if his legs were broken again.
Zhao Shan called Zhuge Shang over again and told Yao Guang about the arrangements for peace talks. He said in a deep voice: "As Zhuge Qing expected, Yao Guang agreed to negotiate. Moreover, Yao Guang came to negotiate in person."
Zhuge Shang thought carefully.
After a long time, Zhuge Shang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Yao Guang came to negotiate in person, which is unexpected. In fact, this is a huge risk. What if your Majesty takes Yao Guang over?"
"In order to ensure his own safety, Yao Guang must bring an army with him."
"With a large army, it is easier to start a war."
"Of course, I believe that with Yao Qian as a prisoner and restrained by prohibiting mutual trading and other means, Yao Guang should not start a large-scale war. But what if Yao Guang launches a small-scale attack during negotiations?"
Zhuge Shang started brainstorming.
He was always cautious in his work and never careless. He walked to the map hanging in the room and observed it carefully, and continued: "When Yao Guang was negotiating, it would be impossible for him to raid Chang'an and Tongguan."
"Chang'an is a fortified city, and Tongguan is also impregnable and cannot be attacked."
"Except these two cities, even the cities of Huayin County and Zheng County cannot be easily captured."
"What Yao Guang wants to seize must be very important, and it is not a place for defense."
Zhuge Shang's eyes suddenly fell on Sigu Mountain and said: "Your Majesty, Sigu Mountain is the main road to Tongguan. If Sigu Mountain is controlled, Your Majesty will be temporarily blocked in Chang'an. I conclude that Yao Guang will raid Sigu Mountain."
Zhao Shan also walked to the map to observe.
After watching for a while, Zhao Shan nodded and said: "Zhuge Qing, Sigu Mountain can lay an ambush. But Yao Guang can have the idea of a surprise attack, why can't we take action?"
"Chencang is the gateway to the west of Chang'an and the dividing line with Xiliang."
"Retaking Chencang will cut off Yao Guang's retreat."
"Of course, we don't have the conditions to really break up with Xiliang. Otherwise, if we start a national war with Xiliang, even if we can win, we will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. At that time, we will actually benefit the kings of Daqian. "
Zhao Shan pointed his finger at the location of Chencang and said loudly: "Take this opportunity to recapture Chencang."
Zhuge Shang praised: "At this stage, the main purpose is to blackmail Yao Guang. In fact, someone from Chencang sent a message that he is willing to surrender to the court, and I am willing to take a thousand soldiers to capture Chencang."
Zhao Shan frowned and said, "Is a thousand people enough? Don't you need Qin Zhong's assistance?"
"unnecessary!"
Zhuge Shang answered without hesitation and said: "There are too many people going to Chencang, and their whereabouts will inevitably be exposed. In addition, Chencang has internal contacts, so there should be no large-scale fighting. General Qin Zhong and more troops will stay in Sigu Mountain.”
Zhao Shan said no more, nodded and said: "Qing Zhuge, you must be careful."
Zhuge Shang bowed to Zhao Shan and left in a hurry.
After Zhuge Shang left, Zhao Shan arranged for Qin Zhong to lead people to ambush in Sigu Mountain.
Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, it’s May, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Zhao Shan got the news that Yao Guang had passed through Chencang, and took Zhou Huhou and escorted Yao Qian and others to the agreed upon location outside Meishan County.
The army formed a formation, and Zhao Shan came to the front wearing armor and riding a horse.
Zhao Shan looked over and saw Yao Guang, who was also riding out, and said with a smile: "Emperor Liang, I want to thank you."
Yao Guang frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Shan said calmly: "Emperor Liang has raised the feather phoenix to the beauty of heaven and country, and is also proficient in the art of war. I naturally want to thank you."
"Emperor Liang married Yuhuang's sister, and I accepted Yuhuang as my concubine. In terms of relationship, Emperor Liang and I are also members of the same family."
"You are my brother-in-law."
Zhao Shan looked earnest and said with a smile: "Emperor Liang, do you think so?"
brush!
Yao Guang's expression changed drastically.
Zhao Shan spoke a feather phoenix in one mouthful and said that he would take a concubine. Yao Guang was already angry and his face was visibly flushed. The cabbage he raised was taken over by Zhao Shan. It was definitely taken over by Zhao Shan.
