As long as they can settle down and continue to wait, it will be Sun Chengen's side who cannot hold back in the end.
Sure enough, as everyone expected, Sun Chengen couldn't restrain himself for long and took the initiative to send people to negotiate.
It's not that Sun Chengen doesn't have enough patience, it's actually the pressure from within Dongyi that makes it impossible for him to have enough time to continue waiting.
Wang Yu did not personally participate in this matter, but handed it over to Gao Jiong. With Gao Jiong here, they would never suffer a loss this time.
Finally, after three days and two nights of intense negotiations, Dongyi agreed to return the generals Hu Luguang, Deng Qiang, Taishi Ci, Teng Kan, Teng Xun, Zhou Qing, and Li Qinghong, as well as the 672 captured black cavalry soldiers.
Moreover, Dongyi was willing to withdraw its troops from Yuehu City in order to redeem more prisoners.
On the Dongyi side, a few people, including Yeludesi, did not agree to withdraw the troops and stop the war. However, more courtiers supported the idea of withdrawing the troops.
There is no way, at this moment, Dongyi is already in chaos internally. If it is internally unstable, how can it continue to wage war with the outside world? With internal instability and military morale turbulent, it is very difficult to continue this war even if it grits its teeth.
There may be no results.
In addition, there is a chain reaction caused by this incident. Yeludesi's prestige has plummeted, and there have been some discordant voices. At this time, Dongyi also called back the main force just in case.
Be prepared to suppress these discordant voices.
Therefore, at this moment, it is better to use the retreat as an excuse to redeem more prisoners from their Dongyi side from Wang Yu. After all, among those prisoners, there are many Dongyi officials, clans, and many others.
They are also the family members of these courtiers.
On the one hand, Dongyi wants to withdraw its troops, and Yao Guangxiao, Gao Jiao and others have noticed this. However, on the other hand, Zhendong also needs Dongyi to withdraw its troops as soon as possible. If the two sides are fighting, do you think the pressure on Zhendong Mansion will not be great?
Since this battle, at most times, Zhendong Mansion has even faced nearly a million troops at the same time. Without support, it was okay for a short time, but over time, who knows whether it will cause a collapse of the war situation?
In such a large-scale war, if some small details really collapse, who knows whether it will eventually lead to a complete collapse of the entire war situation.
Moreover, the longer this battle lasts, the more Zhendong Mansion’s wealth will be consumed. No matter how rich they are, they can’t waste their fortune like this!
Therefore, the withdrawal of troops and the truce are not only the needs of Dongyi, but also the needs of Zhendong Mansion.
On the Zhendong side, a series of courtiers including Wang Zongyuan, the important minister of Dongyi, as well as many members of the Dongyi clan including the two princes of Dongyi, and the Yiying family members of some important figures in Dongyi were returned.
It seems that Sun Cheng'en acted in a very targeted manner. During the negotiation, he did not give in to the several relatively powerful figures in Dongyi or the family members of those powerful figures that he wanted to exchange. Obviously, he wanted to use this kind of exchange.
Ways to gain the favor of those people and then protect yourself.
As for the Queen of Dongyi, princesses, concubines and others, Wang Yu only handed over a small number of them. At first, many of these people were rewarded by Wang Yu to his subordinates. They had already been given out, and Wang Yu could not
I want to come back again. Besides, changing orders every day is never a good thing.
Secondly, Wang Yu needs to leave some people to offer prisoners. This is a war between the two countries, and so many important figures in Dongyi have been captured. Unless Wang Yu does not plan to mix with Da Cang now, otherwise, he will not surrender to the court.
It doesn't make sense.
Moreover, behind a simple transaction, there is a more complex human calculation!
As the king of Dongyi, if Yelv Desi learned that all the people who were exchanged were other people's family members, only a few of his own people had come back, and the most important ones had not come back, what would he think in his heart?
What do you think?
This time Dongyi was made such a fuss by Wang Yu, Yelv Desi's prestige had already plummeted, and he could no longer withstand the turmoil at this moment!
Of course, even if Yelv Desi’s true talent didn’t fall into their scheme, so what? Anyway, there was no actual loss on Wang Yu’s side!
However, it is certainly impossible for Dongyi to make concessions so easily for several important figures, including Queen Xiao Yunyao of Dongyi. These people fell into the hands of the enemy. Considering their status among Dongyi and what they represented,
What's the difference between doing this and continuing to trample them under Dongyi's feet?
However, since Wang Yu chose to keep these people instead of trading them out, they must have their role.
For this reason, the negotiations between the two sides fell into a stalemate for a time. In the end, it was the Zhendong side that panicked and claimed that these people were dead, which gave both sides a step down.
After all, if the negotiation continues like this, it will not be beneficial to both parties. In this negotiation, both sides have their own needs, and both sides need to redeem their own characters. Moreover, after the truce,
On this point, both sides are unified for the time being.
In addition, on the issue regarding Zhao Yuanlang, Zhendong was also uncompromising.
The Dongyi side asked the Zhendong side to fight against the Dongyi rebel Zhao Yuanlang. If it weren't for Zhao Yuanlang, how could the capital of the Dongyi Kingdom, Shangjingfu, be so easily defeated by Wang Yu!
For Dongyi, their request to hand over the traitor Zhao Yuanlang was definitely not just to vent their anger. First, they wanted to use Zhao Yuanlang to warn others about the consequences of treason. Secondly, they wanted to poach Wang Yu.
Tricked.
Wang Yu was determined not to hand over Zhao Yuanlang, so he naturally didn't want to fall into the trap Dongyi dug for him. Zhao Yuanlang was not a big shot, and Wang Yu didn't care about such a person.
However, if Wang Yu hands over such a person who has taken refuge in him, then who else in the world will dare to take refuge in him in the future. Even if Zhao Yuanlang was coerced by Wang Yu, the people in the world don't know, they only see
When Zhao Yuanlang arrived, he made great contributions to Wang Yu.
On the contrary, Wang Yu not only could not hand over Zhao Yuanlang, but also wanted to regard him as a benchmark, set an example and reward him generously.
Moreover, in this battle, Dongyi was finally forced to initiate this negotiation, and Wang Yu was the one who took the initiative. Indeed, Zhendong Mansion was unwilling to continue fighting with Dongyi. Could it be that Dongyi had
Do they have enough capital to continue this war? Dongyi, on the other hand, is even less willing to continue the war than Zhendong Mansion.
For those characters who are useless to Wang Yu, Wang Yu can be a little more generous. But for characters who are useful to Wang Yu, he cannot easily make concessions.
