Chapter 332

Inside the Jin Luandian, there were many cowardly people, but there were almost no fools.

Gao Yang being able to appear here meant one thing.

The Chu army had retreated!

Wu Zhao could not help but ask, "Lord Gao, did the Chu army fall for the trap?"

Gao Yang smiled, bowed, and then faced the gazes of the hundred officials and said loudly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Chu army not only fell for the trap and chose to retreat!"

"And under our Da Qian's continuous methods, they grew fearful and actively sent an envoy, wanting to negotiate today at the hour of the Rooster at the banks of the Jing River, with both sides bringing six people each, and slaughtering a white horse to form an alliance!"

Hum!

Gao Yang's words were like a storm, suddenly sweeping through the entire hall!

For a time, the hundred officials were shocked, all looking at Gao Yang in disbelief.

As arrogant as the Chu army, as powerful as the Chu army, they were actually beaten into fear, beaten into choosing to negotiate!

No one had forgotten the arrogant faces of the Chu army when they first arrived below Changancheng.

At that time, the arrogance of the Chu Kingdom's envoy was still fresh in their memory; if Da Qian wanted to negotiate, not only did Wu Zhao have to kneel to receive the imperial decree, but she also had to kill Gao Yang!

Only then could they negotiate.

But now?

Everything had changed abruptly; the Chu army had admitted defeat, and Da Qian had grasped the initiative in this battle!

Lu Wen, Xu Xuanji, and the group of censors only felt their faces burning with pain. These words were like a heavy slap, fiercely striking their faces.

Wu Zhao also clenched her fists, her face full of shock.

It was the same word "negotiation," but the conditions were worlds apart!

Inside the Jin Luandian, the hundred officials were like they had exploded.

"Your Majesty, this is a heaven-sent opportunity!"

"Opportunity knocks but once; now is the time to negotiate!"

"This subject supports negotiation!"

"This subject echoes the sentiment!"

"If we keep fighting, our Da Qian's losses will also be huge!"

The group of ministers spoke one after another.

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang; all of this was Gao Yang's merit.

She sat up straight, and her voice rang out slowly.

"Lord Gao, you are the greatest contributor to this battle. What is your view on the negotiation?"

The hundred officials were tense, all looking at Gao Yang.

Anyone with eyes could see that Gao Yang's words held great weight!

Gao Yang heard the voice and had almost no hesitation.

He said, "Since Your Majesty has asked, then this subject will speak directly: I advocate for negotiation!"

As the words fell, smiles appeared on the faces of the hundred officials.

But immediately after, Gao Yang's voice rang out again.

"Because once we negotiate, we can continue to drag the Chu army along and not let them retreat!"

"Only in this way will this subject have the opportunity... to eat up the Chu army's one hundred thousand-strong army in one go!" ===== CHAPTER 334 =====
