Liaodong in May seems to have entered early summer directly from winter without spring.

The mountains are full of flowers, and wild flowers are everywhere. The situation in the entire Liaodong has also completely changed, from the river of the Samhan Peninsula to the Hushan City of the Yalu River, and from the mouth of the Yalu River to the south of the first line of the Liaoshui estuary, and now all of them are under the jurisdiction of the Datang Andong Metropolitan Protectorate. Jinzhou, Jizhou, Jianzhou, Anzhou, Xiuzhou, Qingzhou, Pingzhou, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Li Jing sits on the land of Kyushu.

During Li Jing's spring offensive, the Goguryeo Kingdom lost a large amount of land, while the Bohae Kingdom lost a large number of soldiers and horses. In the battle between Lijiapu and Qianshan, the Bohai Kingdom lost more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, and Goguryeo lost more than 40,000 soldiers and horses.

Not all of the 60,000 soldiers and horses lost by the Bohai Kingdom were killed in battle, and 20,000 were captured. After seizing the entire Liaodong Peninsula, Li Jing did not take advantage of the situation to move north, but re-entered a defensive posture. At the same time, dozens of guerrilla cavalry were sent into the northern Liaozhong and Bohai areas to harass guerrillas, and at the same time, Li Jing sent a delegation to Bohai to meet and talk in the city of Nanjing, Yalu Prefecture.

The Bohai people attached great importance to this negotiation, and sent the prince Dawei Ying from Fuyu Mansion to Nanjing to personally take charge of the negotiations. The loss of 60,000 soldiers and horses in the First World War, as well as the loss of more than 500,000 stone grain and more than 20,000 war horses, was a heavy blow to the Bohai Sea. What made them even more uneasy was that Li Jing achieved such a brilliant victory without paying much loss. It is said that Li Jing seized the entire peninsula and Pyongyang, and all the casualties combined were less than 10,000. 10,000 to 100,000, when I thought of this number, Da Xuanxi, the king of Bohai, sat in the palace of Longquan Mansion, and even the grape wine in the glass was tasteless.

The mission sent by Li Jing. With Jing Xiang as the plenipotentiary messenger.

The negotiations were unequal from the start. Although it is negotiated on the territory of the Bohai Sea. But Jing Xiang was aggressive and aggressive. In that way, it was like a war letter, not a negotiation.

Jing Xiang directly put forward conditions to Daweiying, and the Bohai State immediately withdrew from the alliance with Goguryeo and Khitan, and at the same time, withdrew all the soldiers and horses in the Goguryeo realm. At the same time, the Bohai Kingdom returned the land west of the domestic city to the Tang Dynasty. The places under its jurisdiction include Hengzhou and Zhengzhou in the present-day Yalu Province of the Bohai Kingdom, Hezhou in Changling Province, and Xianzhou in Buyeo Province. At the same time, the Bohai State had to pay the price for this light war, and needed to compensate the Tang army for 10,000 horses, 100,000 cattle, 500,000 sheep, and 50,000 young and strong slaves.

Hearing this request, Da Weiying almost flipped the table.

This is a negotiation, this is simply.

Although the Bohai Kingdom was defeated, it was only defeated for a while. Bohai still has nearly 300,000 troops. It also has a population of more than 5 million and has more than 100 counties. And they did not fight against the Don army alone. They also ally the Goguryeo and Khitans, and were even able to bring in the Silla people to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

Da Weiying threw up his sleeves and left, Jing Xiang was unmoved. The first day of negotiations broke up unhappily, and early the next morning, Da Weiying was still preparing to dry the Tang envoys. Unexpectedly, Gao Huaisheng, the general of the guards, hurriedly broke into the house.

"Your Highness, the Tang Mission is already packing up and preparing to return!"

"What?" Da Weiying couldn't believe it, how could Tang Envoy return without saying a word. Do they understand what negotiation is, and they offer such a ridiculous price, are they not allowed to repay the price? "This is impossible, Li Jing is facing the three families joining forces, he must want us to quit more than us."

Gao Huaisheng smiled bitterly, "Perhaps, they don't care too much about us." ”

Li Jing defeated 100,000 soldiers and horses of Bohai and Goguryeo so easily, and the soldiers of the two countries were simply vulnerable in the eyes of the Tang army.

"Then we'll give these damned, arrogant Tang Jun a good look, and make them regret it until their intestines are blue. Let's mobilize a large army to come and show them how powerful the Bohai Navy is! Da Weiying jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, and roared with an ugly face.

Gao Huaisheng despised the prince in his heart, and after this battle, how could the king of Bohai in Shangjing still have the courage to fight with the Tang army. Now that Tang Jun has released the consciousness of reconciliation and is willing to reconcile with Bohai, the King of Bohai can't wait to sign a good contract with Tang Jun. The king of Bohai, Da Xuanxi, is very clear about his personality, conceited, arrogant, indecisive, doing big things and sparing his life, and forgetting his life when he sees small profits.

Previously, some people in the Bohai Dynasty believed that the Tang army would threaten the Bohai Sea when it entered Liaodong, and Da Xuanxi immediately wanted to start a war with the Tang army. Pulling the Khitan together, in fact, the purpose was to listen to the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf said by the courtiers in the court, and wanted to take advantage of this battle to make Goguryeo and the Tang army both defeated, so that the Bohai Sea could profit from it and regain control of Liaodong. But as a result, in less than a year, the Bohai State lost 60,000 soldiers and horses.

Seeing that the Tang army was so brave and fierce, Da Xuanxi immediately retreated, and after the defeat, he couldn't wait to reconcile. At this time, he reconciled with the Tang Army, it was not about stretching his neck for slaughter, but also about slaughtering people as they wanted. Gao Huaisheng felt that even if he wanted to reconcile with the Tang Army, he should go out of his way to fight with the Tang Army again, even if he couldn't win, he had to fight back some face. Only if the knives and guns in their hands are sharp enough, they will have more bargaining chips at the negotiation table.

It's a pity that Da Xuanxi will never fight again.

This negotiation, from the very beginning, was already doomed.

Da Weiying was furious, and finally had to rush to the city gate with people and invite the Tang delegation back.

As a result, the Bohai people at the negotiation table are completely at a disadvantage.

The two sides negotiated, but the Bohai side could not resist it at all, and was a little tougher on the conditions put forward by the Tang envoy, and Jing Xiang immediately wanted to terminate the negotiations and return home. Again and again, Da Weiying had to give in.

After talking for a month, Jing Xiang took the initiative to make concessions, and Bohai took the Yalu River to the north along the Xinkai River to cross the muddy water until the source of the Fuer River, and the west of this line was attributed to the Tang Andong Metropolitan Protectorate. Including the domestic city, Marudu City, Wangboling Pass, Ba Dynasty Mountain City and other 23 city passes, including 15 mountain cities, four passes, and four flat cities. It is equivalent to a small part of Hengzhou, Zhengzhou and Hezhou.

At the same time, the Tang Andong Protectorate withdrew the Flying Eagle Army, which had already reached the vicinity of Nanjing and Xijing, to the west of the newly demarcated line. In addition, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate will also release 20,000 prisoners of war from the Bohai State in batches. In addition, the Bohai people in the 23 Guancheng cities east of the newly demarcated border could be voluntarily relocated to the territory of the Bohai State. However, it is limited to the Bohai Tatar people, and others such as the Han people, the Goguryeo people, the Turks, the Khitans, the Murwei, and the Tatars are not allowed to move.

The Bohai people, on the other hand, needed to pay military compensation to the Protectorate of Andong, including 10,000 horses, 30,000 cattle, 100,000 sheep, and 1 million stone of grain.

At the same time, the two sides signed a peace treaty, and the Bohai and Datang Da'an Dong Protectorates took the newly demarcated border as the line and did not disturb each other. The Balhae State withdrew from its alliance with the Goguryeo and Khitans, and not a single soldier was allowed to cross the border. The Tang army also withdrew all the soldiers and horses that entered the territory of the Bohai Sea, and no soldiers and horses were allowed to illegally invade from then on.

This time, the negotiations lasted for a month, and although the Tang side made great concessions at the end, this was only when they opened their mouths at the beginning. Although he has now given in, he still finally cut off a large part of the Bohai Sea. The 23 castle passes, especially the domestic castle, are a plain city, and they are interdependent on the mountain castle of Maruto.

Both Nakseong and Maruduseong have always been the political, economic, and cultural centers of Goguryeo. Since then, the domestic city has been regarded as the "other capital" and one of the three capitals of Goguryeo. After the combined forces of the Tang Dynasty and Silla destroyed Goguryeo, the domestic city was the residence of Beju, the brother of the Tang Dynasty's Andong Protectorate. During the period of the Bohai Kingdom, it was Huanzhou under the jurisdiction of Xijing.

It has always been a military, economic and cultural center, and an important link to the Korean Peninsula.

The Tang army cut off 23 cities, including domestic cities, and forcibly left at least two-thirds of the people, at least 100,000 people.

In addition, the war reparations were also quite huge, 10,000 war horses, 30,000 cattle, 100,000 sheep, and 1 million stone of grain.

Da Weiying wanted to refuse on the spot, but she was worried that the Tang envoy would once again assume the posture of terminating the negotiations. What's more important is that during the previous negotiations, his father Wang Da Xuanxi had already sent a Zuo Pingzhang political minister from Shangjing to participate in the negotiations, although he was still nominally the plenipotentiary representative of the Bohai side of the negotiations, but in fact Zuo Pingzhang was the person who represented the Bohai king plenipotentiary.

Da Weiying was reluctant to agree to the most reluctant conditions offered by the Tang people, but Zuo Pingzhang was worried that the Tang army would really terminate the negotiations, so the most reluctant nodded hurriedly and agreed to the Tang people's request.

The negotiations did not stop for a day, and the elusive guerrilla cavalry of the Tang army did not stop their activities for a day, and these cavalrymen came and went without a trace, and they had already approached the cities of Xijing and Nanjing, kidnapping and looting, and constantly harassing them, while in Hushan and Wugucheng, the Tang army was gathering troops and horses.

The envoy of the King of Bohai was very worried, and he didn't know when the Tang people would start another war against Bohai.

And at this time, the King of Bohai kept sending envoys to come every now and then, urging them to reach an agreement with the Tang Army as soon as possible. Seeing that the Tang people had finally made a big concession, the representatives of the Bohai King were very worried that if they didn't agree again, it would be difficult for these Tang people to really stop the negotiations, so he reached this harsh agreement with Jing Xiang at the negotiating table despite Da Weiying's objections.

After the initial agreement was reached, the two sides quickly sent the agreement back to the rear for consideration.

Soon, Li Jing and Dae Hyun Seok agreed to the agreement, signed their respective names and stamped their seals. The agreement was quickly sent back to Nanjing, Bohai, and the two countries exchanged agreements, and the entire agreement was reached.

The next day, both sides immediately went into action.

Bohai began to hand over the 23 city passes under the agreement to the Tang army, and Li Jing also ordered the recall of Liu Shouqian's guerrilla battalions of the Flying Eagle Army. The people in the 23 cities also began to withdraw to Bohai one after another, and the Zhenguo army returned the first batch of prisoners to the Bohai State under the domestic city, and Bohai also paid the first batch of indemnities to the Tang army.
