Chapter 396
Jia Xu has been enjoying his life recently. The war against the Kingdom of Jingguo has been going smoothly. The Zhenbei Army has already pushed the Kingdom of Jingguo to a dead end without paying much price.
Jia Xu is also keeping an eye on the situation on several battlefields in Xiaguo. There are experts there, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
"Sir, the Kingdom of Jingguo has sent an envoy to see you."
Jia Xu received the news that day.
"Finally they can't hold on any longer. What a pity. What's the use?"
Jia Xu expected the Kingdom of Jingguo to ask for peace.
Long Tian had already planned the policy against the Kingdom of Jingguo. In order to achieve the set goal, Jia Xu immediately summoned the envoy.
The people of the Kingdom of Jingguo no longer have the arrogance of the past. They are very respectful to Jia Xu and express the Kingdom of Jingguo's court's willingness to negotiate.
The Kingdom of Jingguo is very humble. As long as the Zhenbei Army is willing to cease fire and withdraw, any conditions can be proposed.
"I know about this. I will report it to the prince immediately. However, Jingguo is not sincere enough. Please send someone with weight next time."
"Who is the commander on the opposite side? I admire him for being able to hold out for so long under the attack of the Zhenbei Army. I hope to meet him."
Jia Xu made a request directly.
Who would be willing to negotiate, especially for the weaker party? Therefore, the person sent by Jingguo for the first time was indeed of lower status.
Of course, this was also to test the Zhenbei Army. If the person was killed, and the Zhenbei Army had no intention of negotiating, who would come to die.
Even if the situation has reached this point, no one would actively seek death if they could live.
"I will report your request to the court."
How dare the man say more? If he angered others, it would be in vain to kill him.
"Okay, go back. Three days later, in front of the two armies, I hope to see Jingguo's sincerity."
Jia Xu drove him away directly.
Although Jia Xu did not agree to the peace talks, he also gave Jingguo hope that the next person to come would be Shangye.
Jia Xu had his own purpose for going to Shangye to talk.
The envoy who was lucky enough to survive hurried back and reported Jia Xu's words to the court.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the Zhenbei Army must be under great pressure in other battlefields, so they agreed to the peace talks. It seems that our situation is not as difficult as imagined."
Jia Xu's attitude gave some blindly optimistic people in Jingguo an illusion.
"Your Majesty, this is probably a trick of the enemy."
"According to our intelligence, Xia is making rapid progress in Liang. I don't know how Xia persuaded the barbarians. The barbarians sent millions of troops to cooperate with Xia to attack Liang. Now Liang is unsustainable and will soon perish."
"In the direction of Jin, the Zhenbei Army is making steady progress, and there is also the Zhenbei Army in the direction of the former alliance of countries to support it. Jin is currently in an unfavorable situation in the war."
"Only in the direction of Chu, although the Zhenbei Army took the lead in launching an offensive and directly invaded Chu, the progress was average. Chu mobilized a large number of troops, and the two sides mainly confronted each other, and no war broke out."
"Under such circumstances, the Zhenbei Army invading our country will not be particularly anxious. The enemy's move is likely to paralyze us, and we must be on guard."
As the first person in the military, Ueno's grasp of the situation is not comparable to those civil servants.
Moreover, after fighting with Jia Xu for so long, Ueno had a certain understanding of Jia Xu. This guy was too vicious to express his purpose so directly.
"Is General Ueno afraid of the enemy?"
"Although our country is weak at the moment, Xia Kingdom is bound to be weak after fighting on multiple fronts. At this time, it depends on who can hold on to the end."
Someone actually ridiculed Ueno at this time. I have to say that this guy's mentality is really good.
"How long do you think we can hold on? How long do we have to hold on? Do you know how much loss the court will suffer every day we hold on?"
"Even if Xia Kingdom can't hold on and they withdraw their troops directly, how can we make up for the losses we have suffered?"
Ueno was a little angry. These civil officials only talk about war on paper and can't see how miserable Jingguo is now.
For them, as long as it can threaten their lives and status, they don't care how many people die in Jingguo.
Only those who actually lead troops in the front line know the cruelty of war. Even the most hard-hearted people will not be calm when they see countless casualties on their side every day.
"Your Majesty, don't be blinded by the enemy. The Xia people are extremely cunning. We can't be fooled. The established policy cannot be shaken."
Ueno insisted.
"Ueno, I fully entrust you with the responsibility of peace talks. You go there in person."
Emperor Yasukuni was suspicious by nature. He also thought of what his ministers had just said.
But Ueno was right. If all the people died,Without him, what's the point of being the emperor?
At this time, the emperor of Jingguo court had almost no one to use, and had to rely on Ueno.
No matter what conspiracy Xiaguo had, it was better for Ueno to go than for himself, and he would not take the risk.
There was no big difference between the emperor of a country with a population of 10 billion and the emperor of a country with a population of 10 million, and it did not affect their enjoyment of life.
For the Emperor of Jingguo, if it really didn't work, he could evacuate the mainland and live freely in the sea. As long as his power was still there, he could be the emperor anywhere.
Therefore, he would never do anything risky.
Three days later, in front of the two armies, Jia Xu took Su Dingfang and the two waited for Ueno to appear in a temporary pavilion.
Not long after, Ueno appeared.
Seeing the battle on the Xia side, Ueno thought about it, dismissed the guards around him, and went to the appointment with only his most trusted confidant.
"I guess this is General Ueno, the first general of the Yasukuni Army. I am Jia Xu, and I am honored to meet you here."
Jia Xu did not mock the other party, but said politely.
"Lord Jia Xu, you and I have been talking for more than a day or two. If you have something to say, you should speak frankly."
Jia Xu looks like a scholar, but Ueno dare not neglect it at all. It was this guy who caused tens of millions of casualties in Yasukuni.
How can such a cruel person be easily believed?
"Okay, General Ueno is a quick-witted person, so I will speak frankly."
"Before he left, my prince issued an order that the despicable country of Jingguo should not exist in the world, and its only fate is the destruction of the nation and the extinction of the race. I am also firmly carrying out the prince's order."
"However, God has the virtue of loving life, and I can't bear the tragic death of hundreds of millions of people in Jingguo. Three days ago, I persuaded the prince and was willing to give you a chance to live."
"But the future of Jingguo and whether hundreds of millions of people can be spared depends on the choice of General Ueno. This is why I want to meet you in person."
Jia Xu did not hide his purpose of killing.
At the same time, he also gave Ueno a glimmer of hope. It depends on how he chooses.
