Chapter 347

Gao Yang couldn't figure it out for a moment.

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er spoke, "Lord Gao, is this the diplomatic art of Za'an?"

"The words are quite... ruthless!"

Thinking of Gao Yang's style of debating with scholars, her face was full of complexity.

Cui Xinghe also spoke, "For these peace talks, Lord Gao should take the first credit!"

"This diplomatic art, this subordinate admires!"

Although he regarded Gao Yang as his strongest opponent and the two were enemies, he truly admired this diplomacy today!

Gao Yang said, "The Chu army sought peace, and the fundamental reason lies in the bravery of our Da Qian soldiers and the unity of our Da Qian Changancheng!"

"They cannot take Changancheng."

"Peace talks rely on confidence. As long as the confidence is sufficient, one must be tough; otherwise, wouldn't it be a disservice to those soldiers who died in battle?"

"Know that dignity is only on the edge of the blade, and truth is only within the range of the crossbow!"

"A strong country means strong diplomacy!"

Following these words.

Shangguan Wan'er was full of shock.

Cui Xinghe was also enlightened.

"What a 'dignity is only on the edge of the blade, and truth is only within the range of the crossbow'; you kid said this well!"

"This one sentence says it all about the diplomatic way between two countries!"

Lu Zhen laughed loudly, his eyes lighting up.

These words spoke directly to his heart.

Cui Xinghe's expression was complex, and he couldn't help but repeat Shangguan Wan'er's previous question.

"Lord Gao, what kind of place is Za'an exactly?"

Gao Yang rode his warhorse and paused.

Afterward, he said to Cui Xinghe, "The land of Za'an is quite mysterious."

"This official only inherited the legacy of Za'an."

"It is said that in the real Za'an, those who are not sharp of tongue cannot protect their parents, and don't even deserve to have parents. Those who can kill their way out of Za'an are all strong people who are good at speaking!"

Cui Xinghe's expression was complex, murmuring.

"Is there such a magical place in the world?"

Gao Yang only inherited the legacy and was already terrifyingly strong.

Then how strong must the outstanding people in the real Za'an be in terms of the sharpness of their tongues?

Cui Xinghe couldn't imagine it; he clenched his fists and made a secret determination in his heart.

"Even if he has to search all of Da Qian, he must find Za'an and go there to learn!"

Soon.

The few of them returned to Changancheng.

Wu Zhao brought the officials and stood at the gate of Changancheng. The moment she saw Gao Yang, she stepped forward and asked, "How are the peace talks progressing?"

Xu Xuanji hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, although there were some twists and turns in the middle, everything went smoothly."

"Da Qian only needs to pay one hundred thousand taels of silver and ten thousand carts of grain, and Great Chu will withdraw its troops!"

Once these words were spoken.

All the officials were in disbelief.

"Is the Chu army so easy to talk to?"

This condition, it must be said, was very generous.

Wu Zhao took a deep breath, and her excitement could not be hidden on her face.

"Good!"

"You are all meritorious officials of Da Qian. When Great Chu withdraws its troops, I will definitely reward you according to your merits!"

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang. If it weren't for Gao Yang using all his methods in this battle, how could the Chu army have withdrawn?

The officials also looked at Gao Yang in unison.

If Gao Yang's reputation was only just beginning to show and he didn't have much power before, then after this battle, the improvement of Gao Yang's status would definitely be terrifying.

Wang Hao's face turned black.

Gao Yang was temporarily the Minister of War, took over Changancheng, and won this defense battle of Changancheng.

This made him look a bit like a waste.

But according to Gao Yang's contribution, he really couldn't stop it, and he even felt that the Empress's eyes looking at Gao Yang were now "pulling silk" (full of affection).

He is in danger! ===== CHAPTER 349 =====
