Sincerity?
Liu Wei was unwilling to give it.
Because he sincerely resists starting a war, and it doesn't matter if he talks boldly, he should give himself a chance to gain more benefits.
Isn’t that how you got the position of admiral?
The Shu soldiers were his capital, just like Chen Yuzhong who had guarded the whole state. As long as he held on to the military power, the imperial court would not be able to accomplish anything.
Besides, Honda Tadakatsu clearly didn’t want to fight either.
Why not talk about it?
Obviously, Liu Wei's old habit has returned.
It just so happened that the one in the city was really anxious to leave. As a result, the two actually developed a small tacit understanding, and Honda Tadakatsu took the initiative to offer peace talks.
"It's what I asked for."
When Liu Wei saw the messenger and the letter, he immediately whispered in his heart, and then sent three negotiators, one of whom was an old friend of the Sunchon Japanese army:
Wu Zongdao.
The last time the Western Route Army was able to play the trick of breaking a cup, it was all because of this man's tongue, which deceived Honda Tadakatsu into being so excited that he only brought fifty flags out of the city to negotiate.
This time Liu Wei assigned two companions to the great hero, one named Liu Wanshou and the other named Wang Dagong.
In fact, these two men are both flag-bearers with low status, but they pretend to be generals——
Liu Wei was full of ghosts. He had carried out beheading operations himself. He was worried that the Japanese would treat them the same way as others, so he did not dare to send officers with high rankings there.
There is no doubt that this is Liu Wei's heart judging Zhongsheng's belly.
It is true that the Japanese pirates are violent and cruel, but their credibility in negotiation is not bad. From the beginning of the war to the present, they have not attacked the negotiating partners.
All this reached Lu Li's ears.
The source is a fellow actor:
Bai Yu.
In the last exam, he followed the trio and got the title of "Excellent Student".
As a result, his good luck seemed to have been overdrawn in advance. This time he was assigned to the command of the broadsword general Liu Wei. It is true to say that he was hungry for nine meals in three days.
It is difficult to find a target to die with, in other words, to die without success.
After all, Admiral Liu loves his soldiers as his own sons and is afraid of attrition in combat and losing his own capital.
"Wu Zongdao and his three men brought fifty elites to Shuntian Wacheng to negotiate, and they didn't know what kind of benefits were promised. They are like a litter of dogs and rats!" Chen Li sneered.
On the side, Lu Li, who was standing on the side of the ship, looked back. At this moment, all the warships raised their heavy guns, waiting for his order to start bombarding Shuntian Japanese City.
At this time, the Japanese will relive the fear of being dominated by thousands of cannons and a sea of fire that night.
Inside the city.
The two sides talked very smoothly. Wu Zongdao smiled and hugged Honda Tadakatsu, preparing to return to Shuangyan Temple and relay the Japanese terms to the admiral.
General Honda Tadakatsu was so happy that he said straight to the point:
I will keep six young generals as hostages, as well as hundreds of heads and property. Admiral Liu will let me out of the city on land. As long as I get out of the city smoothly, everything will be yours.
The conditions are so good. Based on Wu Zongdao's understanding of Liu Wei, does An have any reason to disagree?
Suddenly, the earth shook.
The sun has not yet set, and the outer ocean has become brighter. Every roar means that some buildings in the Japanese city have been destroyed.
tomato
Negotiations broke down completely.
"continue."
"First hit three rounds."
Lu Li said very calmly.
There was no other way, so Bai Yu explained this inconspicuous history to him.
[If there is no actor, the guard here should be Governor Konishi. He promised Liu Wei a lot of benefits during the negotiation stage, and then the old boy agreed without blinking an eye. He also took the initiative to keep a brother of the same clan named Liu Tianjue.
Then, Konishi Governor retreated on the 24th, left Suncheon Wa Fortress, and successfully escaped.
Later, Liu Wei led his troops into the deserted Shuntian City and found that Xiao Xi was indeed very trustworthy, with no shortage of hostages, heads, or property.
If you have to find fault, it does have flaws——
Most of the heads belonged to captured soldiers and civilians of North Korea and were not real Japanese pirates, but Liu Wei felt that they were suitable. The dead could not speak anyway, so they could be used to calculate their merits.
As for the six Japanese generals who were hostages, after seeing Liu Tianjue's smooth return, the greedy Liu Wei directly ordered their beheadings without even thinking, adding six more achievements to his credit book.
With this ending, the admiral, who was originally from Jiangxi and had been operating in the Bashu region for many years, was very satisfied. After all, the planned strategic goal was achieved without the need for a big fight, and the limelight far exceeded the other two paths. It is really worthy of special praise.
It is recorded in the history books that he specially ordered people to paint the four words "Victory on the West Road" in gold letters and fly it to the Xing army gate to show off his victory.
The soldiers of the Li Dynasty who were stationed nearby knew the actual situation. From the capital marshal Quan Li to the groom, they all despised him and felt that this man was really shameless. 】
If this plan is successful, the West Route Army will indeed be the one with the greatest success and the least losses among the three armies.
But the old boy's performance was the ugliest and despicable of the three admirals.
In order to avoid fighting, deliberately put friendly forces into crisis and miss the best opportunity to annihilate the enemy;
In order to save their lives and retreat, they abandoned the strategic materials transferred from the country;
In order to gain military exploits, they did not hesitate to collude with the sworn Japanese, using the strategic interests that the two countries wanted to fight for in exchange for their own interests.
Such a corrupt face is really disgusting.
When it comes to the desire to make contributions, Chen Li is undoubtedly the first. Seven years ago, before the war broke out, he submitted a letter to the DPRK to fight against the Japanese, and did not hesitate to bribe important officials of the imperial court with large sums of money.
It is true that he is very utilitarian, but he is not merciless at all when he fights Japanese pirates. He wants to exchange the real Japanese emperor's head for a reward from the court.
"Hehe, Liu Laogou still wants to negotiate? It would be strange if Honda Tadakatsu doesn't hate him."
Watching the artillery fire falling into the Japanese city of Shuntian, Chen Li laughed. In his eyes, Liu Wei, a lost dog, was uglier than the Japanese pirates. Just looking at the old boy was a kind of torture.
As long as Liu Dadao had a little bit of enterprising spirit and kept his promise in the initial night battle and cooperated with the navy to attack the Sunchon Japanese Fortress, why would he need to exchange his head for the defenders to escape?
Inside the city.
"Kill! Slaughter these ungrateful beasts! Their bodies are hanging on the top of the city!"
"General...we..."
Wu Zongdao was shaking like chaff, and subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but he felt the world was spinning, and his eyes flashed, and he saw his body spurting blood.
Like Lu Li, Honda Tadakatsu was also angry. He was repeatedly deceived by Liu Wei and completely gave up on negotiating. If he wanted to fight, he would fight!
As the sound of cannons stopped, heads were hung on the highest point of Shuntian City. Three representatives and fifty elite guards were there. It was difficult not to notice this scene.
Supervisor Wang Shiqi looked gloomy.
This negotiation was completely done by Liu Wei in private. He was determined to cooperate with the navy on the other side to wipe out the Japanese in the city.
But Liu Wei is the admiral after all, so he shouldn't pursue him too closely. This guy said that the mobilization of the army takes time and must be carefully arranged.
What does it mean to mobilize various ministries while secretly arranging negotiations?
Don’t you even have the courage and determination to fight the Japanese with real swords and guns?
