Lu Jia is confident.

He and Chen Ping were indeed old acquaintances. Of course, their friendship was only superficial, otherwise Lu Jia would not have stood by and watched when Chen Ping was in decline.

As the Qin army continued to move south, Li Yuan's central army had moved from Fufeng to Xianyang. The old capital of Qin was recaptured by Zhang Han's army on February 10th. It was just a symbol of Qin's past glory.

Most of the palaces have been burned, among which Wangyi Palace and Afang Palace were the most severely damaged.

"The six kings are finished, the four seas are one, the Shu Mountain is Wu, and Afang comes out. It covers more than 300 miles and is isolated for six days. Lishan Mountain is built in the north and turns west, and goes straight to Xianyang——!"

This "Ode to Afang Palace" written by the great poet Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty based on his imagination has a profound impact. Li Yuan stood on the ruins on the south bank of the Wei River and could not help but murmur the grand scene described in the poem.

"Marquis Li, all the palaces in Xianyang have been destroyed and are no longer suitable for habitation. The repairs will take time. Should the capital be temporarily moved to Yueyang until the renovation of Xianyang is completed?" Behind Li Yuan, Zhang Han's face was rare and radiant.

This time when they entered Xianyang for the first time, his troops were welcomed by the people of Xianyang. This was an unprecedented treatment, and the vague unhappiness in the old general's heart disappeared completely.

At this time, Zhang Han completely let go of his grudge against Li Yuan, and assisted Li Yuan with peace of mind to make the broken Qin country strong again. This was not only Li Yuan's idea, but also Zhang Han and other Qin people.

The wish of a national general.

"There is no rush to repair. We will wait until the Han army is driven out of Guanzhong. Besides, the world is still uncertain, and there are many forces watching our Qin Dynasty. If we are blindly optimistic because of the small victory in front of us, why don't we follow in the footsteps of Liu Bang?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said slowly.

Continuous victories have certainly inspired the fighting spirit of the Qin army's officers, but at the same time, some bad signs are also growing, especially the arrogance and extravagance that has begun to sprout. This is something Li Yuan never wants to see. Therefore, for Zhang Han,

He refused without hesitation.

"It was the last general who was rude." Zhang Han looked ashamed and agreed and retreated. When he entered Xianyang again, he saw that his old general's palace was badly damaged, so Zhang Han started to renovate it and build a more beautiful one.

The idea of ​​a grand and even more enviable mansion.

Li Yuan rejected the suggestion to repair the Marquis Mansion. Zhang Han could not be above Li Yuan's orders. However, he had nothing to look down on. Compared with Li Yuan's ambition, Zhang Han felt that although he was alive

He is in his sixties, but his mind is much worse than that of Li Yuan.

——.

When Lu Jia arrived in Xianyang, it happened that the Qin army was rounding up the Han army that had slipped through the net. When the Chu army was remnant, Cao Xin, who was serving as the city guard, took a look at Lu Jia, who looked like a pretty boy. Hearing that he was an old friend of Chen Ping, he sent Lu Jia to Xianyang.

Jia took him directly to Chen Ping, who was very busy.

"Brother Chen, do you still know Lu Sheng from Huainan?" Lu Jia mustered up his courage. Facing Chen Ping, who had a completely different demeanor, he couldn't help but feel a little lack of confidence.

Judging from Chen Ping's clothes, momentum, and behavior, Chen Ping has been quite proud of himself recently. As Li Yuan's most respected long history, the internal power has seized Chen Ping.

There is a clear difference between the ridicule of stealing gold and wife.

"Lu Jia, is it you? Aren't you serving under the King of Han? Why, you are not getting along as you want, and you want to defect to Li Hou, haha——, now, you and I are together again." Chen Ping haha

With a smile, he stepped forward and grabbed Lu Jia's long sleeve, showing a very close look.

"Uh, Brother Chen misunderstood. Lu is here to negotiate peace with the King of Han. I hope Brother Chen can introduce him to Marquis Li." Lu Jia coughed lightly and said, hiding a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"So, Brother Lu is Liu Bang's envoy. As of now, you and I are the masters of the peace talks. What's there to talk about?" Chen Ping sneered, and the smile solidified on his face. Since Lu Jia didn't come here for personal matters,

, then it would be inappropriate to talk about personal relationships.

"Brother Chen, since ancient times, the two countries have fought and negotiated. They won't fight if they make peace, and fight again if they collapse. This is not surprising. Now, the Qin army has the upper hand, and the Han army has been defeated. The King of Han

If we propose peace talks, regardless of whether we can reach an agreement or not, we should put forward our respective conditions face to face and see if we can come to an agreement. This is the role of debaters like us. Therefore, peace talks are very necessary." Lu Lu

Jia was not angry either. He rolled up his sleeves unceremoniously and began to talk at length.

Debating is Lu Jia's specialty.

In the past, when he was studying in Daliang, Chen Ping's eloquence was not as good as Lu Jia's. Now, after being tested in actual combat, Lu Jia's eloquence is better than before. In contrast, Chen Ping pays more attention to practical operations.

His lobbying ability can only be said to be above average. When he first lobbied Zhang Han, if Li Yuan had not led the Qin army to launch a massive counterattack, Zhang Han would not have chosen to surrender so easily.

"Then what conditions does the King of Han have for peace talks?" Chen Ping mockingly interrupted Lu Jia's eloquence and asked.

"Of course there are conditions, but Lu will not tell you until after meeting Li Hou. Please forgive me Brother Chen!" Lu Jia said with a respectful expression without feeling angry.

"In that case, please go back first, Brother Lu. Chen has no obligation to introduce you?" Chen Ping said coldly. This Lu Jia still behaves like a master who plays hard to get, thinking that as long as he makes a good gesture

, others will treat him as a hermit. In Chen Ping's eyes, these methods are like a clown.

"Well, Brother Chen, why do you have to say so decisively? As long as Brother Chen can introduce it to you, all the gold will belong to Brother Chen." After Lu Jia said this, he pointed to the goods of the two carts carried by his entourage not far away.

Chen Ping raised his eyes and looked at it, and sneered: "Mr. Lu is really trying his best to give gifts in front of everyone. Come here, take Mr. Lu out of the city -!"

Lu Jia's fair face suddenly turned red when Chen Ping revealed his thoughts. He really intended to kill two birds with one stone by giving the gift. If Chen Ping accepted the gift, Lu Jia would have the conditions to threaten him. If Chen Ping did not accept the gift, Lu Jia would have the conditions to threaten him.

If so, Lu Jia could also tell from Chen Ping's expression whether he needed to increase investment.

However, he never expected that Chen Ping would unceremoniously expel him from the city. Without Chen Ping's introduction, it would be extremely difficult for Lu Jia to meet Li Yuan. At this time, it was not Li Yuan who was begging Liu Bang for peace talks, but

It was Liu Bang who requested peace talks.

"Brother Chen, wait a minute, it was just a joke. The King of Han sincerely wants to negotiate peace with Li Hou. What conditions does the Qin army have, but just say it." Lu Jia said anxiously with a red face.

After several attempts failed, Lu Jia did not care about leaking the details, and Liu Bang could no longer hold on.
