Chapter 206 Solution

Looking at Xu Yixian's expression, Gao Yihuan felt that Li Dingguo really wanted to exchange more than 800 Xijun and Bai Wenxuan.

At first, Gao Yihuan's attention was on Bai Wenxuan, but he was reluctant to let Bai Wenxuan out.

This is like collecting strong generals in the Three Kingdoms, the number of strong generals and counselors represents the size of one's own snobbery.

Gao Yihuan also had the desire to collect famous generals in the late Ming Dynasty. Now he only collected Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, two generals with low loyalty. Naturally, he wanted to collect more Bai Wenxuan.

But regardless of this factor, Gao Yihuan felt that Li Dingguo's proposal to exchange prisoners contained a piece of information that was very useful to him.

Li Dingguo sincerely wanted to exchange Bai Wenxuan back, but Gao Yihuan opened his mouth and exchanged more than 800 Western troops for more than 2 prisoners, which Li Dingguo obviously could not accept.

Seeing that Gao Yihuan did not let go, Xu Yixian felt that this person seemed to have put forward such a condition on purpose, and did not want a real exchange.

At this time, the negotiations were at an impasse, and it was impossible for the Western Army to exchange 2 people for 800 people. The matter could no longer be discussed, so he let out a sigh of relief and wanted to leave.

At this time, Gao Yihuan suddenly changed his tune and asked: "Mr. Xu disagrees with the general's conditions, so how do you want to exchange?"

After hearing this, Xu Yixian took back what he had said.

In view of the fact that Gao Yihuan's request is too outrageous, if Xu Yixian lowers the conditions, he may break up in two, so he directly said the bottom line, "One for five! General, give us all the captured people, General Li Willing to exchange with five times as many people."

After Gao Yihuan heard this, he immediately laughed in his heart, but he pretended to ponder and said: "Yesterday, your general Li almost made a fool of this general, but fortunately, this general is wise and powerful and aware of your plot. This condition could have been considered , but whether the exchange is fraudulent, I still need to discuss it with my subordinates, Mr. Xu is temporarily resting in the city, wait for my reply."

Xu Yixian frowned slightly, feeling puzzled in his heart, but Zhao Zhuzi stretched out his hand, "Mr. Xu, please."

Gao Yihuan waited for Xu Yixian to leave, then hurried back to the commander's mansion, and asked his father to discuss it.

He first talked about the exchange, Gao Zurong nodded, "You have to change your attitude in this matter, but you can make a fuss about the specific operation."

Gao Yihuan stroked his short beard, "Li Dingguo is willing to exchange five times as many people for these 800 people, what do you think?"

Gao Zurong also stroked his goatee, pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Yihuan, from my father's point of view, I'm afraid Li Dingguo doesn't want to fight."

There was a smile on Gao Yihuan's face immediately, and he said excitedly, "Dad, I think so too. I have more than 800 Western Army prisoners in my hands. I can't use them to defend the city. Instead, I need to send people to guard it. Li Dingguo is willing to send 5000 Letting him back to me is equivalent to allowing me to strengthen Xiangyang's defense. He can make such a decision, which shows that he has wavered and does not want to attack Xiangyang."

The father and son thought about it together, and once they figured out what Li Dingguo was thinking, then Gao Yihuan would be able to take the initiative later.

Gao Zurong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Yihuan, is that Xu Yixian still in the city?"

Seeing the treacherous smile on the old man's face, Gao Yihuan knew that the old man had a plan, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "He's still in the city, I've kept him."

"That's good. Since Li Dingguo has been shaken, we can devise a plan to make him make up his mind to retreat south." Gao Zurong laughed.

Gao Yihuan was still a little worried, "Father, Li Dingguo is very powerful, so be careful when tricking him. If he sees it through, it won't be beautiful."

: "Yihuan can rest assured that this plan for his father is not directly envoys to Li Dingguo, but to Xu Yixian." Gao Zurong asked, "Yihuan, you know, why do you say that the scholar's rebellion will fail after three years?"

Gao Yihuan was stunned for a moment, but still said, "Because a scholar knows a lot, he thinks a lot, and naturally has a lot of scruples."

Gao Zurong nodded, "That's right, scholars just think too much. Tonight, you can let the guarded soldiers go to Fancheng quietly, and then come back from the pontoon bridge tomorrow morning. Don't let Xu Yixian see it directly. It's better to cover it up." Cover up and let him guess. You have to agree to the other exchange without hesitation, but in the exchange, you have to deliberately delay the time."

Speaking of this, Gao Yihuan laughed, and understood Gao Zurong's meaning, "Father, you want Xu Yixian to think that our main force is coming to Xiangfan. I deliberately delayed it. The purpose is to catch them by surprise when the main force arrives."

Gao Zurong leaked the expression worthy of my son, "Well, scholars are prone to overthinking. I guess he will definitely persuade Li Dingguo to retreat."

Gao Yihuan rolled his eyes, "Father, I think before I implement this strategy, I can trick him once more and get some prisoners from outside the city, especially the soldiers from Nanyang."

Although Gao Yihuan didn't want to exchange the local bandit leaders like Song Chengjiang back, but there must be some people out of the 2 people, and there is still no problem.

Population is a resource, especially adult men, even if they are sent to the manor to farm, it is also a good thing.

When Gao Zurong saw that Gao Yihuan could continue to enrich his ideas, the two couldn't help looking at each other and smiling, and then began to ponder and analyze in the handsome mansion, striving to perfect every detail.

Xu Yixian was led to a courtyard by Zhao Zhuzi, and Gao Yihuan didn't come over from morning till dark.

This made him wonder, does it take so long to discuss?That Gao Yihuan probably wanted to put him under house arrest.

Just as Xu Yixian was lying on the bed, unable to sleep, thinking wildly, there was a knock on the door, and the soldiers outside reported that General Gao had come.

Xu Yixian hurriedly put on his clothes and came out, he looked up at the sky, good guy, it's already the third watch.

He followed the soldiers to a candle-lit room in the courtyard. Gao Yihuan had set up a banquet and was already sitting and waiting with several people.

Xu Yixian bowed his hands to salute, and Gao Yihuan asked him to take a seat. As soon as he sat down, Gao Yihuan snatched the wine glass in front of him, picked up the jug and poured wine for him, "Mr. Xu, I have thought about the exchange, you can I agree, but the method of exchange must be determined in the future.”

While speaking, Gao Yihuan had already filled Xu Yixian's wine glass, and politely brought it to him.

Hearing his agreement, Xu Yixian couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know, how does General Gao want to exchange?"

"Drink first!" Gao Yihuan stretched out his hand and smiled.

Xu Yixian was also proud, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and was about to speak, the wine glass was snatched away by Zhao Zhuzi again, and while pouring the wine, he said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is fine! Come on, let's go too!"
