A large piece of felt was laid on the river bank, and a few tables were placed on the felt. The two sat cross-legged and the roaring sound of Yishui River roaring in their ears. Li Ru quickly thought in his heart that he did not expect Gao Yuan to come to conduct this negotiation in person, which made many of his previous strategies fall into the empty space. Of course, it is not without benefits for Gao Yuan to come here in person, that is, if certain things are finalized, the intensity of execution and the possibility of achieving them in the future will be much more reliable.

"The Qin Dynasty hopes to end this unexpected war! Achieve peace with the Han Kingdom." Li Ru looked at Gao Yuan and said word by word.

Gao Yuan knocked on the table gently, "Li, this is not an unexpected war, but a war against the Han State that Qin had been planning for a long time against the Han State with clear strategic goals. We can assume that if there was no stubborn resistance from our troops in Shannan County, if there was no harassment of the Qin army by thousands of Xiongnu herders on the grassland, then our Han Dynasty would be completely wiped out by you. What follows closely will inevitably be Jishi County, Dayan County, etc., and if we lose these places, our Han Dynasty would immediately fall into trouble. What's more, in order to support the Chu State to attack our Han State from both sides, you even sent three counties to the Chu State to Chu State. Therefore, this is not an unexpected war, but the result of the war is beyond your expectations!"

Looking at Li Ru's slightly blue face, Gao Yuan said lightly: "So, although we are sitting at both ends of the desk today, it is not equal, because the negotiation between us is not about us ending the war, but about you begging for peace from me!"

"Why should Your Highness the King of Han be so aggressive?" Li Ru said softly: "We have indeed suffered heavy losses in this war, but the Han Dynasty is not unscathed. If you and I continue to fight, they will be both sides and lose both sides and no one will get any benefits."

"Is that right?" Gao Yuan smiled, "I really didn't see this. All I saw was that your Qin army lost half of the elite army after Li Xin and Wang Xiao was destroyed. If my army attacked with all its might at this time, Qin would be afraid of overturning and turning his hands around."

"Your Highness the King of Han is just insincere!" Li Ru gradually calmed down, "If this is true, Your Highness the King of Han will be in the mood to chat with an old man like me here? Since both sides have the intention of a ceasefire, why don't we avoid these unnecessary threats and get directly into the topic?"

"Li, you are wrong!" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I think everyone Li has been studying the national policy of our Han over the years and must have a lot of experience in the development of our Han. Then we should know that our Han adheres to the people first and the country second, and we are the king again. Our Han does have the intention to end the war, but it is not that we think that we can do nothing to Qin in the military, but because our Han people suffered a great loss in this sudden attack. If the war continues, then

The people of our Han Dynasty will suffer greater losses. This is not what we want to see. The most fundamental thing for our Han Dynasty to establish a country is to make the people under our rule live better. Therefore, we are willing to sit down and talk to you. But please remember that if we cannot satisfy us, the people of our Han Dynasty will also have the ability and mental preparation to bear greater sacrifices until you are defeated so that you can no longer gain a foothold on this continent. Everyone of Li should understand that we have this ability now."

"I don't think you have this ability!" Li Ru shook his head and said, "Or His Highness the King of Han doesn't understand the mobilization ability of my Great Qin. If all my Great Qin mobilizes, it will not be a problem to mobilize a million troops."

"One million army and one million army are not the same thing." Gao Yuan laughed: "If there are too many people to win the war, then I don't know how many times Gao's war has been killed in the past ten years. Li is not a general who leads troops, nor has he entered the dynasty to truly rule political affairs. Do you know that if one million army really wants to mobilize one million army, how many people need to provide logistics support? Is it not too late to get the autumn harvest? I really want to know, if the Qin State really mobilizes one million army, what should I give these troops? If one million army really mobilizes one million army, what should Qin State do this autumn harvest this year, let the grain rot in the land?"

When Li Ru heard Gao Yuan say this, he was a little dumbfounded. As Gao Yuan said, he had never really entered the court to do a specific matter in Qin State. What he did were all those high-level and systematic things. When it comes to these mundane things, he really didn't understand them very well.

"His Royal Highness of the Han Dynasty probably doesn't understand the determination of a country to burn its boats for hundreds of years after its founding of the country, and its profound heritage!" Li Ru naturally could not disarm it.

Gao Yuan nodded, "I naturally understand this. But the Qin Dynasty is probably not able to burn its boats at the moment. Is your king's health okay? I wonder how long it will last, one month or two months?"

Gao Yuan stared at Li Ru's eyes tightly, but his words tug at Li Ru's heart like a knife.

Li Ru's pupils contracted, and the news that King Wulie of Qin was deteriorated because of Li Xin and Wang Xiao's defeat and Wang Jian's escape has always been the highest secret of Qin. Those who know that King Wulie of Qin had reached the last moment have no one knows except for a limited number of confidants. Where did Gao Yuan get the news?

"How do you know?" Li Ru blurted out his words, which made Gao Yuan's body tilt back slightly, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. A gentleman could deceive him. A scholar like Li Ru ignored ordinary things. He could not be calm about these tricks. If Fan Sui came to negotiate, he would be afraid that Gao Yuan would not be able to get anything with such a temptation.

"I was not sure at first, so now I'm sure!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"You cheat me!" Li Ru was furious, his face turned white and white, and it was a blessing that he was very well-educated and did not jump up and spit Gao Yuan.

"It's not a fraud!" Gao Yuan spread his hands, "I have always been speculating that King Wulie of Qin must not support him for too long. Do you want to know the reason why we think this way?"

"I hope to hear the details!" Li Ru said angrily.

"Li Xin, although Wang Xiao was defeated, the Qin army still guarded Shannan County. Lu Chao and Meng Tian still had tens of thousands of troops under his command. We were fighting with Chu State. The Qin army was not without the power of a battle at this time. If Qin State dared to fight, as long as we defeated our Han army head-on by the Wei State and Yuyang, it would not be impossible to turn defeat into victory. But you hurriedly began to withdraw our troops." Gao Yuan talked: "What is this for?"

Li Ru did not make any noise.

"The biggest possibility is that something goes wrong in Qin. Even if this battle is possible, you can't fight. But what problems will happen in Qin? The eldest prince was sentenced to death. Meng Tian, ​​who had been worried about, was transferred to the direction of Wei. The 200,000 troops were divided into two. The 100,000 troops left on the border of Qin and Chu were handed over to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu has the ability, but he has no foundation in Qin. Apart from relying on the King of Qin and being a loyal dog, there is no possibility of any trouble. Meng Tian was transferred back to Xianyang at this critical moment and handed over the army to Lu Chao. These can be fully explained. King Wulie's control over the Qin court and army can be said to have risen to an unprecedented level. Therefore, it is unlikely that Qin itself will have unstable factors. The only unstable one is King Wulie himself."

Looking at Gao Yuan talking, Li Ru was shocked. From these matters that could not be linked together, Gao Yuan could guess that something was wrong with King Wulie of Qin. He was indeed a monster.

"And to be honest, everyone, you are very knowledgeable, but negotiation is not your strength. If it is Fan Sui, it makes me feel more normal, but the one who came here is Li, which means that Fan Sui could not escape at all. But apart from Fan Sui, Qin State really can't find any person of weight to negotiate with my Han Dynasty, and Li became the last choice. All of this led me to come to a conclusion that King Wulie of Qin will be ordered soon!" Gao Yuan stared at Li Ru: "So, everyone, Qin State is indeed capable of carrying out a battle of national destiny, but it is not something that Ying Ying, the fourth prince who is about to succeed the throne, can't be completed. Your biggest task now should be to ensure a smooth transition of the regime, right? This is the real reason why you are eager to end the war."

Li Ru was speechless and nodded for a while, "You're right."

"Since that's the case, everyone should understand that this negotiation is not equal. Therefore, if Qin cannot show real sincerity, the war will come unexpectedly. I believe that on the way you come, you have already learned from Lu Chao that the situation facing Qin is now. Our Eastern Field Army, Northern Field Army, Central Field Army and Youth Guards Corps have already prepared for combat. In the court, the discussion on Qin's continued combat has been going on, and the Grand Parliament will also discuss this soon. If everyone Li does not give me a good answer this time, I cannot persuade the Grand Parliament members to stop fighting against Qin in the Grand Parliament. It's very simple. I need to take advantage of them to shut up."

"Grand Council?" Li Ru took a deep breath, "This is just an excuse for you. The Kingdom of Han, wasn't you just a decision?"
