Chapter 710 Frank Communication
The peace meeting ended, and Wang Heyu and the others left.
Guo Chong, Lu Wei, Chen Yue and others filed into the meeting hall.
Lu Songli put down the pen in her hand and asked, "How is it?"
Guo Chong just wanted to answer.
At this time, Lu Desheng came in and said seriously, "Nothing. The two parties exchanged views and communicated candidly."
Lu Songli raised her eyebrows. Was this because they had a huge disagreement? They had a quarrel but didn't reach an agreement at all?
Guo Chong added, "This time we fully affirmed and exchanged the opinions of both parties, creating a good atmosphere for continued in-depth communication."
Chen Yuexin said, it can't be said that the two parties had a big quarrel and almost started fighting, right?
Lu Songli nodded. The first day of the peace talks was the first day for both sides to test each other's bottom line. They didn't expect any results at all.
This peace negotiation is expected to last for five to seventy-eight days.
At this time, Chen Yue presented the meeting minutes to Lu Songli.
After Lu Songli read it, everyone discussed and exchanged opinions on the upcoming negotiations.
Seeing that the time was approaching noon, Lu Desheng suggested having lunch first.
They can have lunch at the government office or go home.
Lu Songli asked them to go back first, because she wanted to go back soon. Normally, if there is nothing urgent, she would go home to see her daughter at noon.
After Lu Desheng greeted his daughter, he left first, followed by Lu Wei and Chen Yue, and Guo Chong deliberately stayed until the end.
Lu Songli saw that he had something to say, "Mr. Guo, is there something wrong? You might as well just say it."
"Governor, you just read the minutes of the meeting."
Lu Songli hummed, "Is there any problem?"
"This time we launched an all-out attack on Xianbei and Dali, especially Dali. The reason for sending troops was that the governor was killed by Xie Zhan. After the peace talks, the two sides stopped fighting. What reasons should we use to attack Dali in the future? Where’s the rest of the land?”
If Song Mo heard this, he would be angry to death. This war has not yet ended, Pingzhou is thinking about what reason to attack Dali again next time.
Lu Songli understood what he meant.
The reason and starting point for their uprising in Ping Gang was to criticize Song Mo and seek justice for the grievances and persecution suffered by the Qin and Lu families.
This time, a large-scale military campaign was launched against Dali to seek an explanation for her injuries caused by Xie Zhan's premature birth.
No matter how high-sounding these reasons are, in the final analysis, they are all for personal grudges.
Especially the latter, which is already the highest level of personal grudges.
The key is that this kind of reason can be used by Pingzhou, and people in the future can also use it.
Lu Songli had already thought of Guo Chong's concerns when he decided to send troops to Xianbei and Dali at the same time.
At that time, she was considering whether to propose new guiding ideas.
Thoughts determine action.
Guiding ideology not only affects individual behavior, but is also the soul of an organization or strategic plan. It provides the basic direction and path for formulating and implementing strategies.
Any political power has its representative classes and representative interest groups. For example, the current Pingzhou army, whether it is the Qin family army or the Sun family army, is only related to their own interests and is extremely personal.
But Guo Chong's demands are too high and his thinking is too long-term. If the excuses they can use now cannot be used by future generations, wouldn't that mean that the track is directly closed?
She came from the later generations and knew that there was only one person who could do this. That person proposed the army-building idea of the People's Soldiers, but she couldn't copy it, right?
Guo Chong nodded, "Governor, as long as you understand what I mean."
Guo Chong has been thinking about this problem for a while, but he has not come up with any good solutions. "Governor, otherwise, let's take advantage of the peace talks and let the soldiers on the front line work hard to attack the city and seize more cities, so that we can eat them all at once. , and then gradually overcome it?”
"No, this year, starting from the attack on Leling County in Qingzhou and Zhuozhou in Jizhou, some troops have been fighting for three or four months in a row, so the line is too tight." Conquering the country cannot be achieved overnight, it is best to proceed step by step , if you take too big a step, you will pull your balls.
Considering the fatigue of the frontline soldiers, Guo Chong said helplessly, "That's all we can do."
"Governor, if there is no better reason to raise troops in the future, we can continue to use similar reasons." Just be thick-skinned. Anyway, they are just grabbing land and getting benefits.
Lu Songli said, "You are right to think so. Slogans like 'Kill the gangsters, defeat Song Mo, and make decisions for the suffering people' are very useful."
Guo Chong nodded. Indeed, there are thousands of reasons. As long as they are willing, they can always find the one that suits them.
At this time, everyone is paying attention to the peace talks in Dali and Pingzhou.
Jizhou, Shangdang
Back to a few days ago, under the watchful eyes of all the troops, the Dali envoys had just boarded the carriage and left.
As soon as they left, the soldiers stationed on both sides started talking.
"Is that Dali's peace talks group?"
"Yes, they set off to Pingzhou Changli to have peace talks with the adults in the state capital."
"I don't know what the final outcome will be?"
"The advantage currently lies with us in Pingzhou, so the result shouldn't be too bad."
"It's hard to say. I heard that the civil servants in Dali are very ill-informed. They must have been holding their breath when they went to peace talks this time."
"One more thing, is it possible that they want to take back the territory we have conquered?"
"The governor and others will not agree. These territories were conquered by us with our blood and sweat. Do you want to go back? Are you thinking of eating shit?!"
"That's what happened in the previous dynasty. In order to show the magnanimity of a great country, they not only returned the territory that the soldiers fought hard for, but also sent people to help rebuild it."
"I'm afraid that the soldiers will be exposed in the wilderness, while the civil officials will shake hands and make peace with the enemy."
That's boring.
At this time, Qin Heng came back from the wounded camp and happened to hear it. He said, "Don't worry, your governor is not sick."
Zhou Da next to him also said, "Yes, everyone should believe in the governor and the adults. They won't let us suffer."
"Let's wait for the results to come out. It shouldn't take a few days."
Southland, western Guangdong
Wei Kuang led troops to encircle and suppress the Li people, but he didn't expect it to be very unsuccessful.
The Jintai army in Pingzhou came too quickly, and the other side was also very good at jungle field battles. In addition, the Li people had the advantage of being familiar with the terrain. When the two sides fought, they couldn't get any advantage.
In addition, the other side seemed to have clairvoyance, and they couldn't hide anything from them.
The army he led was small groups, and they couldn't come back once they were sent out.
The more Wei Kuang fought, the clearer it became that it was impossible for the imperial court to use the Li tribe as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Pingzhou.
But he didn't expect that things would turn around. Deputy General Xie Haoran unexpectedly caught Xue Xu by some unknown means and brought him back to the base camp.
However, they were also bitten by the Jintai army.
Qin Sheng walked out of the army with camouflage on his face, "Xie Haoran, let him go, I'll replace him."
Then there was a cry of surprise, "Sixth Master!"
Qin Sheng raised his hand to stop his subordinates from persuading and worrying.
Xue Xu was dizzy and weak all over. The high fever made his brain confused. The little bit of consciousness left made him speak with difficulty, "Sixth Master, no-no!" It was all because of his unpromising body.
If Sixth Master got into trouble in the South, how would he explain to the governor?
Xie Haoran was thinking that Qin Sheng was certainly more important to Pingzhou and Lu Songli than Xue Xu. However, there are risks when exchanging hostages.
The two sides looked at each other, as if they were sizing each other up, as if they were evaluating each other...
They both knew that Dali and Pingzhou were ready for peace talks, and both sides wanted to add some bargaining chips to their own camps.
