Mr. Zhang pondered, "That is the capital of the enemy country after all. If you bring Gaoyou with you, if he wants to go back, I can't stop him. Isn't that letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"
After entering the domestic city, not to mention Gao You, even his life is in the hands of the royal court of Goguryeo, which is equivalent to sending Gao You back, unless his heart can completely favor their Dajin.
Then there is still the saying that you are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han, but if not, Zhang Hui looked at Bai Shan, wouldn't this be a bargaining chip in his hand to Goguryeo
Bai Shan sat on the chair indifferently, and when he saw him looking over, he raised his head and smiled at him.
He said: "If you let the tiger go back to the mountain, you have to be a tiger. If Mr. Zhang doesn't give it a try, how will you know?"
Master Zhang is still hesitating, "Your Majesty..."
Bai Shan lowered his eyes and straightened his clothes, got up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's original intention was to use him for peace talks in case the Eastern Expedition fails, but now that we have captured half of Goguryeo, his original role is no longer needed. If Mr. Zhang is interested, I can go with you to meet His Majesty."
This is the option that wealth insurance seeks.
With Gaoyou, the probability of success is higher, but the probability of failure is also high, and the benefits and risks increase at the same time.
Zhang Hui turned around twice, and gritted his teeth for the last time, "Okay, then please invite Lord Bai to go with me to meet His Majesty."
Bai Shan also simply asked him to see the emperor.
On the way, Zhang Hui couldn't help asking him, "How did Master Bai...convince Prince Gao Wu?"
Knowing more, he can persuade the other party.
"I seem to have heard someone say that Master Bai and Prince Gao Wu are old acquaintances, and they got along very well when they were in the capital?"
Bai Shandao: "Lord Zhang must have heard it wrong, the old acquaintance is true, I met Prince Gao Wu when he first went to Beijing as an envoy in the early years, and we had very good acquaintances, so we must have met him four or five times. "
We met four or five times in the same capital, so there was no friendship.
He and Bai Shan met more than so many times in the daily meeting, and still had no friendship.
Zhang Hui felt that the relationship between them needed to be repaired, so he smiled and said to Bai Shan: "Master Bai, I'm about to go on a mission. Before I go out, may I invite you to have a meal with Master Zhou?"
"Master Zhang, you're welcome," Bai Shan said with a smile, "My wife and I don't like to drink alcohol. Naturally, good things should be reserved for those who understand it. Master Zhang can invite Zhao Guogong and the others."
Forget it, he already drank all the wine, even if he didn't drink all the wine, he couldn't invite them, so how many sips of the wine can still fall into his mouth
The emperor really doesn't care much about Gao You now. He is still locked up not because he is valuable, but because it is a bargaining chip in his hand. Although the food is tasteless, it can't be given to the other party directly, right
But if the courtier was useful, even if it was possible to send back a son for nothing, he agreed without much hesitation.
For Goguryeo, it is very important whether this is a prince, but for Dajin, this is just a prince of Goguryeo.
When the war is going well, he is not very useful.
The emperor agreed with a wave of his hand, but how to persuade Gao You to use it for himself was Zhang Hui's business.
Zhang Hui asked a lot about Gao You from Bai Shan. Although he said he didn't have much friendship with Gao You, he must have a deep understanding of Gao You to be able to cheat such an important piece of jade from the other party.
So he stared at him.
Bai Shan thought for a while and then said: "Gao You is narrow-minded, short-sighted, and interested in profit. Intimidation is hard to convince him. Temptation is good, but don't make him too proud to avoid bad things."
Zhang Hui: "... he doesn't have any advantages?"
Bai Shan thought about it seriously and asked, "Can you bend and stretch?"
That's a grass on the wall, and it can be blown by the wind. Such a person is the most difficult to control, and it's the best to control. Whoever benefits him will stand.
"However, he has a companion by his side, who is not bad in knowledge and has a little knowledge. If I were Mr. Zhang, I would not take him with me this time."
Zhang Hui's eyes flashed, and he understood, "Let him be isolated and helpless?"
Bai Shan smiled and nodded.
"Okay," Zhang Hui tidied up his official uniform, and said to Bai Shan, "Then I'll go meet Prince Gao now."
After saluting, Bai Shan took his leave and went back to the tent.
Man Bao had exchanged his clothes and was about to find him, when he saw him come back, he pulled him in.
She said: "This is the dress, you can change it now and wear it next to your body."
Bai Shan touched it, but couldn't figure out what kind of material the clothes were made of, and the style was so strange that there was no placket or anything like that.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Is this the little father-in-law's own?"
Man Bao said: "...I exchanged it with someone else."
Bai Shan nodded, and said to Man Bao: "You tell my little father-in-law to wait until Anshi City is brought down, and I'll let people look around for any strange things around here, such as flowers, plants, trees, insects, fish and birds that we haven't seen before. Beast, when the time comes, buy it and give it to him.”
Man Bao immediately nodded and said, "Okay, okay."
Then he said: "But don't spend too much money."
Koko: ...
Bai Shan puts on his clothes, it's cold now, it's not obvious to put on such an extra dress inside.
Man Bao asked him, "When are you going?"
"The letter has been handed in. There should be news before dark. If they agree, I will go to see the second prince directly. If they don't agree, then I can only go to meet some people quietly."
Man Bao frowned: "Is it dangerous?"
Bai Shan didn't take it seriously, "The possibility of this is very small. If I were the second prince in high school, at this time, even if I don't surrender, I will still meet the envoy. I can delay it for a day, waiting for reinforcements."
"Zhao Guogui will cease fighting?"
After thinking for a while, Bai Shan said: "Probably not, but His Majesty will not attack on a large scale."
Then there is a buffer.
Sure enough, before dark, a letter came from there, agreeing to come and negotiate.
Bai Shan made some preparations, bid farewell to the emperor early the next morning, and took people to the opposite side.
Yuan Yi brought soldiers and horses to pick up the envoys, seeing that the man was a young man, he couldn't help frowning, so young, is he worthy of the crown
Bai Shan smiled and bowed to Yuan Yi, and said: "General Yuan, Bai Shan, who is in the lower middle school, please give me some advice from General Yuan."
As soon as Yuan Yi heard about his official position, he didn't dare to be contemptuous. He dismounted from his horse and made a fist in return, and said sideways, "Master Bai, please."
Bai Shan got on his horse and led his team across the checkpoint into another city. He didn't look back, but he knew that Man Bao was watching him.
Man Bao was standing upstairs, watching him slowly disappearing down the street on his horse. Seeing that the envoy team had entered safely, Zhao Guogong turned around and was about to go downstairs. When he turned his head and saw Zhou Man still looking there, he paused. for a moment.
After thinking about it, he still comforted the other party, "Don't be sad, they are not very courageous, they should not dare to hurt our envoys, at most they will arrest Bai Shan and threaten us."
