C2319 Deep Meaning
When Wu Yan said this, he didn't hesitate at all.
In fact, what the Emperor of Great Lu Dynasty said to him was... If there was no marriage, he would fight for it. After all... In his heart, he was very opposed to the marriage. However... When it came to Wu Yan, it became different. Wu Yan still wanted the marriage to be completed as soon as possible. He had been secretly pushing for this matter before. However... Now, it seemed like the Fengjue Country's First Prince was also very concerned about the marriage. However, as such, Wu Yan naturally didn't mind selling Princess Qi off. Perhaps the people of the Fengjue Country would be able to negotiate with the Great Lu Dynasty Princess on account of marrying her. They would make more concessions.
Therefore, Wu Yan didn't even try to fight for it. He just said that the Emperor had to agree to the marriage.
"Hmph, at least your Emperor is sensible." Lu Yizha said with satisfaction. If that was the case, that beauty wouldn't be able to escape. He still wanted Princess Qi very much.
"Our king is very sincere about the peace talks. So... I also hope that your country can show some sincerity. " Wu Yan quickly added, "After all, the conditions you proposed are too difficult to accept."
"Difficult to accept?" The middle-aged messenger smiled and shook his head. "Ask your king to think about the situation at the front line. I think he will be able to accept it very soon."
It was another threat, but Wu Yan had no other choice. The situation at the front line was very unfavorable to the Great Lu Dynasty.
"Three days!" The middle-aged messenger continued, "We will give you three days to think about it. Either you agree to our conditions or let our troops at the front line come and get it themselves."
"This is not how negotiations are negotiated!" Wu Yan was also a little angry. So, the other party was telling him to agree to the conditions. They did not let him bargain at all. Was this still negotiation? How could he reply to this? It wasn't that he was completely useless. If he really agreed just like that... Then I can just send someone over. Why would I need to do it?
Therefore, Wu Yan definitely wouldn't accept such a condition. If that was the case, he would be at a disadvantage. No matter what, he had to lower his condition a little.
"Minister Wu, don't be angry." The middle-aged messenger was not in a hurry. "Go back and reply to your king like this. After that... He will definitely let you continue to talk to us. At that time, we can make some appropriate concessions as a way to give some face to Minister Wu. Who asked us to be friends? "
"Really?" Wu Yan asked in surprise and happiness. If that was the case, it would be great for him.
First, let the king understand the difficulty of this negotiation. Let him know how excessive the conditions proposed by the people of the Fengjue Country were. After that... If the people of the Fengjue Country lowered their requirements a little, it would be his own contribution. If that was the case, he would be considered to have completed the mission with an outstanding performance. To him, this wasn't a bad thing at all. He would even be rewarded and praised by the Emperor.
However, why would the people of the Fengjue Country do this? Did they really treat him as a friend?
"Of course it's true." The middle-aged messenger said, "Ever since we came to the Great Lu Dynasty, Minister Wu has been taking good care of us. Furthermore, he has helped us a lot in secret. We, the people of the Fengjue Country, are not ungrateful people. Naturally, we know how to repay favors. This time, we are doing this to help Minister Wu complete his mission. Obtaining the trust of your majesty, the Emperor, can be considered as repayment for Minister Wu's help to us. "
"You are too polite, Lord Emissary." After hearing what the other party said, Minister Wu didn't doubt him anymore. After all, he had indeed helped him a lot. He had even revealed a lot of information to her. He had also told the other party about the results of the battle at their front line in advance! That was why Wu Yan had previously felt that he had a good relationship with the other party. Now, it seemed like his judgment was correct. The people of the Fengjue Country had indeed treated him as a friend. What he was doing now was to sell him a good relationship. Wu Yan was naturally very happy to give him face.
Of course, he also understood that even if it was the people from the Fengjue Country, they would still give him face. He would lower the requirements a little, but in the end, it wouldn't be too low either. Wu Yan also understood this in his heart, but he didn't care. This country wasn't his. He just needed to complete the mission with excellence. Besides, once the peace talks were reached, then, this Great Lu Dynasty could be considered to be safe. Although it would cost a lot, the Great Lu Dynasty was still there. Then, he could continue to be Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Furthermore, if he made a meritorious contribution in this negotiation... Then, his position would be higher and more stable.
And because of this, how could Wu Yan not be happy?
Therefore, when he left, Wu Yan was full of happiness and happiness, completely different from when he came here before.
"Do I really have to lower my requirements? Wouldn't it be too easy for them?" After Wu Yan left, Lu Yizha asked the middle-aged messenger.
Although Lu Yizha was respected as First Prince, this time, he was going to make a trip to the Great Lu Dynasty. This middle-aged man was the leader. He was in the country of the Fengjue Country. His status wasn't low either. He had received the love and trust of the current Emperor of the Fengjue Country. Furthermore, his own abilities were also very strong. And because of this... Even Lu Yizha respected him very much.
"I won't." The middle-aged messenger shook his head slightly and said, "The request I made on that scroll was originally more than what we expected. To the Great Lu Dynasty, it was indeed a little too much. It is indeed a little difficult for them to accept. We can't force the Great Lu Dynasty too much right now. What if the other party isn't willing to negotiate in a fit of anger and wants to have a life and death struggle with us? If that's the case, it won't do us any good. Therefore, we have to give them some benefits appropriately. "
"Those Great Lu Dynasty armies are all trash. Even if they want to continue fighting with us, there's nothing to be afraid of." Lu Yizha still looked down on the army of Great Lu Dynasty as usual.
"It's different." The middle-aged messenger said, "Just like what Wu Yan said before, the Great Lu Dynasty is vast and has a large population. If we really push them into a dead end, they will fight with their lives on the line. They will still be able to unleash a huge amount of potential. In the end... Even if we win, it will still be a miserable victory... The loss outweighs the gain. Don't forget, our surroundings aren't peaceful either. "
The middle-aged messenger was looking forward to the culture of the Great Lu Dynasty. Previously, he had a lot of knowledge about the Great Lu Dynasty. Therefore, he naturally knew more about the Great Lu Dynasty compared to Lu Yizha.
The middle-aged man understood that although the Great Lu Dynasty was indeed weak now, it couldn't defeat their Fengjue Country, but the Great Lu Dynasty had a very deep foundation. It was far from what the Fengjue Country could compare with. Once they were forced into a dead end... It was very likely that a huge amount of energy would explode out. At that time, defeating the Fengjue Country wasn't impossible. Even if it was, it still wouldn't be able to defeat them. However, they would still have to pay a painful price for this Great Lu Dynasty. To their Fengjue Country, that was definitely not a good thing.
Therefore, the middle-aged envoy had already made up his mind. He could not force the Great Lu Dynasty into a dead end. In fact, his point of view was also acknowledged by the Fengjue Country Emperor. It was also because of this that he said that to Minister Wu. He was indeed prepared to do that.
"Then why do you want to give that Wu Yan face? I think he is just a two-faced villain. As an official of the Great Lu Dynasty, he's actually helping us in secret. Although he did provide us with a lot of useful things, however... I still look down on such people. " Lu Yizha said. His words were full of disdain and disdain towards Minister Wu.
"What a genius." The middle-aged messenger said with a smile, "You said it yourself. He is an official of the Great Lu Dynasty. He is actually helping us in secret, no matter what his purpose is. However, this is beneficial to us. Such a 'friend' is worth befriending. After the negotiation was completed, within a few years... There shouldn't be any major conflicts between the two sides. After a few years... We are also in a good position within the country and the surrounding matters. At that time, won't we still have to attack the Great Lu Dynasty? You don't think that we will be able to live in harmony with them forever, do you? When we attacked the Great Lu Dynasty once more, we had such a 'friend' here. It will be much more convenient. Furthermore, in these few years, we can maintain a good relationship with Wu Yan. Through him, we will be able to know more about the situation of the Great Lu Dynasty. All of these are very beneficial to us. Therefore... Naturally, I don't mind selling him a favor so that he can go to His Majesty's place to claim credit. The more stable his position is, the better it will be for us. "
This middle-aged messenger was naturally not a kind person, so he did. Naturally, he had his own purpose, not what Wu Yan thought. It was because of their previous friendship. In fact, that friendship was nothing in the eyes of the middle-aged envoy. The reason why the middle-aged envoy did this was because he was looking forward to the future.
"Of course, I don't think that we will be able to live in peace with the Great Lu Dynasty forever." Lu Yizha said, "The people of the Great Lu Dynasty are useless. They are not qualified to occupy such a vast territory. They have it. With such rich resources, these things should belong to the people of the Fengjue Country. Therefore, we will come back sooner or later. "1
As a general who often went to the battlefield, Lu Yizha naturally did not want to. He also did not want to live in peace with the Great Lu Dynasty. One should know that... His main contribution came from the battlefield. If there was no war, how would he be able to contribute? How would he gain prestige, and how would he inherit the throne?
Hence, he could not wait to fight another war with the Great Lu Dynasty army.
