Chapter 965 Li Jing's Goal
"Negotiation, negotiation, negotiation!" Li Cunxiao muttered dissatisfiedly, picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the wine table.
"Be careful!" Gao Siji did not expect Li Cunxiao to react like this, and quickly persuaded him quietly. Today, it was a gathering for the senior brothers and brothers, Liu Xun's mansion, and there were no outsiders. Except for the two disciples of the Qin King Qian Liu and Yang Xingmi who were far southeast, the remaining eleven of the thirteen Taibao were all here. In recent years, all of the righteous brothers have also had a bright future. Now they are either Taibao, the Taibao, or the Taibao, or the Taibao, the Taibao of the Prince. In recent years, the imperial court was awarded a lot of official positions, and they benefited from the King of Qin and have also granted many titles without real power. Because the title of Taibao is more, the thirteen disciples of the Qin King have become famous as the Thirteen Taibao. Although most of the Qin vassals do not call them by the official positions given by the court, this title is retained.
It is extremely rare for eleven people from the Thirteenth Taibao to gather together. In recent years, everyone has been in charge of the army. For example, Li Rang, who is the seventh-ranked elder, did not lead the army, but as the Minister of Finance of the King of Qin, the Minister of Revenue, the account chief of Qin Fan, was even more busy. Finally, the war stopped for a while, and everyone gathered together, and they couldn't help but drink sand wine. They were all important officials of the Qin Fan, and during the meal, Liu Xun also talked about the secret negotiations now. This matter is a secret to others, but it is nothing to them.
"Stern brother, don't stop me, I'll just say, talk about a bird. We have a million troops, so what else can we talk to them? The one who hits them directly is the Hu Renheng, but in the end, they were still defeated by us and they were scattered. Now we have occupied the nest. We ask me to tell you. For the bird court, whether from Chengdu or Chang'an, we should have smashed him with one punch. This world is already terrible, and it's time to change the sky. This world is here, our master should come to sit here. Others do not have this qualification or this prestige."
Of course everyone here agrees with this statement, regardless of public or private matters, if the King of Qin sits in the world, then they will naturally be the most willing.
"I guess I have more considerations about this matter." Liu Xun, as the senior brother, was not the oldest, but his mind was the most flexible. Little Zhuge was not called for nothing, and his reputation as one step and seven strategies was even more famous all over the world. Now, Ji Qingqing is the commander of the first legion, commanding 50,000 elite troops, but for nothing. Although Li Jing was a little surprised by his negotiations with Chang'an, he thought it was very consistent with His Highness's usual style.
Today, Qin Fan does have the upper hand and have various advantages over the Chang'an Xin Dynasty. But on the other hand, the more this is, the easier it is to force the other party to make concessions at the negotiating table. This allows Qin Fan to achieve many results he wants at the negotiating table without using the army. In fact, he had specially asked Li Jing for this matter and asked about Li Jing's meaning. Li Jing did not hide anything from this smart disciple.
He told him his intentions very directly.
At that time, Li Jing asked Liu Xun, "What is our goal?"
"Seize the world!" Liu Xun answered very simply and directly. This sentence of a taboo and overreach is a fact that everyone knows. Today's Qin Fan does not need to hide their goals, nor will anyone not know this goal.
"Yes, our goal is to seize the world, but how do we seize the world?"
"Catch it down!"
"Well, no matter how corrupt the dynasty is, it will not be willing to give up the world. Conquering the world is natural, but you also understand that seizing the world is the goal, and conquering the world is just a means. In layman's terms, war is just a continuation of politics, war is just a means, not an end, the goal is to seize the world. Therefore, if you can not fight and achieve the goal, then why fight? At the negotiation table, you can sometimes get more things than the means of war. Of course, this must be based on strong military strength, so that negotiations have enough bargaining chips."
Liu Xun was a little stubborn at the time, but he was not very clear about what he could get on the negotiating table than on the battlefield.
However, Li Jing said something a little more, which made him understand.
"In fact, winning the world is just a primary goal, not our ultimate goal."
"The ultimate goal?"
"Well, we cannot just be satisfied with winning the world. What we need to do is not join a game of thrust and win it. Instead, we need to create history and create the future. What we need to do is to make contributions to the present, stand for the future, and seek blessings for generations of generations."
"What is the ultimate goal of sir?" Liu Xun asked excitedly.
"Build a country with a prosperous country and strong people, and the world is the center of the world, so that the descendants of Yan and Huang and the Chinese nation stand at the top of the world!" Li Jing said confidently.
At this moment, the smart Liu Xun understood everything. Li Jing looked farther away. Although the Qin army now has strong strength and can be capitalized with arbitrary force to unify the world. But this price will be very high. The King of Qin has already seen farther away. He is working hard for a prosperous and powerful dynasty, and he is avoiding fierce wars to destroy the world. This man has not yet sat on the dragon throne, but he has already started to think about things with the eyes of the king of the world.
"The moment is not the time for a decisive battle. First of all, we have just finished the Northeast War. The army needs to rest, the weapons and supplies need to be replenished. The empty granary is still waiting to be filled with food again. The local area also needs to invest more financial, manpower and energy to build. The most important thing is, just like a hunting battle, we are now like a tiger entering the mountain, and the beasts in the forest fleeing in a fright. But if we only deal with one prey silently, then the other beasts will not be alert to escape, and will even fight each other as before. There is a saying of siege in the city, and the current situation is actually the same. What we need to do is to try our best to recuperate while not stopping the expansion. But we must avoid the other party's joint resistance. What we need to do is to relax their vigilance, disintegrate their alliance, and then defeat one goal at a time, until they are all taken down."
"What conditions did your Highness put forward?"
"Haha, as for negotiation, how can you reveal your bottom as soon as you start, hide your true intentions in a bunch of false demands, and then use those false demands to negotiate transactions with the other party, and finally achieve your true intentions. This is negotiation."
"What is our real intention?"
Li Jing smiled lightly, "It's very simple. Chang'an admitted that Wei Bo and Chengde towns were rebellious vassal states, allowed Qin vassal states to send troops to attack the two towns, and restricted the towns from interfering in this matter."
"That's it?" Liu Xun was still a little unbelievable. This was too simple.
"Why, do you think this requirement is too simple?" Li Jing shook his head and said seriously: "Mo underestimated this requirement. If the goal is truly achieved, then Wei Bo and Chengde of Hebei will be completely isolated. We can easily annex them without worrying about fighting a war of attrition that we are unwilling to fight at this time. Recovering Hebei is very important to us. The Bohai Rim Circle is our core. Judging from the development strategy of our Qin vassal, we will focus on the development of the Bohai Sea, with Yanjing as the center, control Hebei, rely on Taihang in the west, Yanshan in the north, and control the left.
Hedong, right side of Shandong. After all, the huge vassal state of Qin vassal state is the center of the Bohai Circle. With our development in recent years, the entire Bohai Circle has taken Hebei as the core and Yanjing as the center. Hebei is extremely heavy for us. If we do not control the Hebei region in Taihang and east for a day, we will not be able to truly feel at ease to go south or enter Guanlong, Hedong. Now that the rear of the northeast is flat, our eyes will shift to the west and south in the future, and Weibo and Chengzhen are our two largest blocking stones."
"I have assembled hundreds of thousands of heavy troops in the north. I will immediately attack the second town of Hebei when the negotiations reach their goal, and will never give the Chang'an court a chance to repent."
"But since the second towns in Hebei are so important, how could Yang Fuguang agree?"
"Hahaha!" Li Jing laughed for a while, "So, this requires the art of negotiation. What we really want is that the Chang'an court and the towns he controlled will not interfere and we will destroy the two towns. Therefore, we have to propose various rigorous and impossible conditions during negotiations. This is the purpose. With strong strength as a backing, we can talk to them step by step and finally achieve our true goal."
Liu Xun nodded and understood. "Is this the reason why the emperor asked the court to transfer the two towns of Hedong and Xuanwu to the Qin vassal states and hand over Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong to us for disposal?"
"It's almost the same!" Li Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip, and replied, "If we say that the biggest threat to our capture of the second towns in Hebei is Li Keyong, followed by Zhu Wen. Especially Li Keyong, we are mortal enemies with him, and even negotiations are impossible. If Li Keyong intervenes in the war in Hebei, then Wang Chongrong and others are likely to be implicated, and even make it messy in the end. Therefore, Li Keyong is the object we have to settle first, and we are not suitable to go directly to Li Keyong. Therefore, Li Keyong is the object we have to settle first. We are not suitable to go directly to Li Keyong. Therefore, Li Keyong is the object we have to settle first. We are not suitable to go directly to Li Keyong. Therefore, Li Keyong is the object we have to settle first.
But if you put pressure on the court, Li Keyong would have to obey." Although Li Jing wanted Li Ke to use the head, he knew that Yang Fuguang would not hand over such an important general to him at will. However, if he forced him to force Yang Fuguang to control Li Keyong and not let him intervene in the war in Hebei, it would probably be feasible. Li Keyong would not pay attention to him, but he had to be a little afraid of Yang Fuguang's words. This is the big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimps, and one thing is to surrender.
