After another day of arduous negotiations, it was already dark, and Yang Fuguang left the Forbidden Palace and went to the Diaoyutai Hotel, which was built in the inner city of Yanjing. The negotiations with Li Jing are not in a hurry, although it is slow but there is progress, every day with his efforts, Qin Fan will make some concessions, which seem to be not big, but they are real concessions, although this should be regarded as more of an exchange of interests and compromises between each other, but there is indeed progress.

This made Yang Fuguang, who was already hopeless about the negotiations, kindle some hope, as long as Li Jing can dispel the plan to support the new emperor, everything will be worth it. These days, he is in contact with Yang Fugong in Chang'an, and with the help of the galloping road built by the Qin Domain, the expedited fast horse from Yanjing to Chang'an can be reached in four days. And the flying pigeon route secretly established by the Ministry of War can be reached in only two days. Every day after the negotiations, Yang Fuguang would immediately write a letter back to Chang'an to discuss with his brother and decide how to advance and retreat in the next negotiations.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of the Tianzi No. 1 building of the hotel, he saw Yang Shouliang, the righteous son in charge of communication, standing there waiting for him.

During the negotiations the day before yesterday, Li Jing insisted that the imperial court transfer Hedong Town and Xuanwu Town to the Qin Domain, and handed over Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong to the Qin Domain. Even, for the first time, Li Jing made a rare big concession, saying that if the imperial court agreed to his condition, then he was willing to ask the other fourteen towns for compensation of five million guan per town, down to four million guan per town, a total of 14 million guan less.

Yang Fuguang strived hard, and even proposed that the Yingzhou and Hao Erzhou in western Henan be transferred to the Qin domain as a quid pro quo, but Li Jing refused to agree. For the sake of this condition, there is a possibility that the negotiations between the two sides will reach a stalemate again. This made Yang Fuguang very sad. But there is nothing to be done. He knew it. They have to make more concessions. Otherwise, Li Jing would not have taken the initiative to give in.

"Has the lieutenant's letter arrived?" Yang Fuguang asked.

Yang Shouliang hurriedly stepped forward and took out a secret letter that was still sealed, "I just sent it to the flying pigeon to pass the book." After speaking, he looked at Yang Fuguang's face, and saw that his face was very bad, so he knew that today's negotiation might be very unfavorable, so he took the initiative to ask: "Is Qin Fan still unwilling to give in?" ”

Yang Fuguang waved his hand. sighed and said, "Qin Fan's attitude is very tough, he must be in Hedong and Xuanwu Town, we have made concessions, and we are willing to give Li Jing the withdrawal of Qin Fan from the four states in western Henan on our terms, but he refuses." ”

"It's better to give up Xuanwu!" Yang Shouliang said tentatively, "Xuanwu Town originally had the four states of Bian, Song and Haoying, and Songzhou had long been controlled by Li Jing, but now Ge Congzhou and Zhang Guimu of the two states of Haoying have reduced Li Jing again, in fact, Xuanwu has been controlled by Li Jing by three-quarters. It's better to simply give Bianzhou to Li Jing. Bianzhou was assigned to Li Jing, and there was Zhengzhou to the east of Luoyang. There is a military prison pass, which can be a barrier in Luoyang. But Hedong is not able to draw Li Jing, Hezhong Town is extremely important, is the barrier between Luoyang and Guanzhong, if Taiyuan is lost, Li Jing can really cross the Yellow River west, straight into Guanlong. ”

"Li Jing won't agree easily, this time he is determined to do this." Yang Fuguang sighed, now this negotiation is really suffocating everywhere, but there is nothing to be done, who called Li Jing to take the initiative everywhere.

Yang Shouliang rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "Perhaps, we can hand over Li Keyong to keep Hedong Town." ”

Yang Fuguang was surprised, and just wanted to reprimand Yizi for a few words, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help but stop. This may indeed be a plan, Li Keyong is an anti-Qin vanguard general, but on the other hand, Li Keyong is almost completely controlled by Li Jing, and he is not Li Jing's opponent at all. And Li Ke is a little arrogant with this person, although he also worships under his own door and is his godson, but he has established a small circle with Wang Chongrong and the second party Xiang Ertuguhun Town, and there is a hidden danger of uncontrol. If Li Keyong is thrown to Li Jing, Hedong Town is kept, and then he takes over the Hedong Army in Hedong Town, this seems to be a good idea.

But there are pros and cons, and in doing so, will it cause opposition from Like's use of that small league? Besides, how to hand over Li Keyong is also a big problem, Li Keyong is not an ordinary person, this Li Ya'er is a barbarian king. In case something goes wrong, let Li Ke use the knowledge to say, one is not good, and then Li Ke will use it again. This guy has two criminal convictions.

Yang Fuguang rubbed his head with a headache, and things were really a bit of a dilemma.

He simply stopped thinking about it, opened the letter and read it.

The meaning of Yang Fugong's letter is very clear, that is, to find a way to negotiate with Li Jing as much as possible. As for the troubles encountered in the current negotiations, Yang Fugong's reply is somewhat similar to Yang Shouliang's. However, the plan he proposed was that the Chang'an court would not interfere with Li Jing's attack on Wei Bo and Chengde, and at the same time transfer the four prefectures of western Henan occupied by the Qin army to the Qin domain, and the court would return the Qin people who had been plundered from each town.

After these three articles, the Chang'an court was also willing to assign Bianzhou to the Qin domain, and at the same time was willing to hand over Zhu Wen's head to the Qin domain, and at the same time, the Chang'an court set up a prison state, and the prison candidates were nominated by Li Jing, and they could consider supervising the state in Yanjing.

Of course, under such a big concession from the Chang'an court, they also had several conditions. First, the 70 million indemnity proposed by Li Jing was cancelled. Second, Hedong Town and Henan Mansion still belonged to the Chang'an Imperial Court. Third, the Qin domain had to open the canal to the imperial court. Fourth, Li Jing's eldest daughter is the queen. Fifth, the Qin clan was not required to implement a three-point tax system, but was required to pay an annual tribute of 10 million yuan to the Chang'an court.

Yang Fugong's new condition can be regarded as after careful consideration. There was no disarmament of the Qin army, and there was no way for Li Jing to hand over one-third of the tax every year. He was even willing to hand over Zhu Quanzhong's head to Li Jing, and assign five prefectures such as Bianzhou and Caizhou to Li Jing, which was very sincere.

In the choice between Li Keyong and Zhu Wen, Yang Fugong chose to betray Zhu Wen. This is because Li Keyong is very capable of fighting, at least he has not been killed after fighting Li Jing for so many years. Second, Li Keyong is very strong now, not only is Hedong Town a strong town, but he is also a lot of allies. They are all rich towns like Wang Chongrong, and allies of Hu people towns like Baoda, Dingnan, Tiande, and Zhenwu, and they are not easy to offend. It is too important to come to Hedong Town again, and it is easy to mess up, otherwise Hedong will be in chaos, and it is possible that Luoyang Chang'an will be unstable.

And Zhu Wen, although he used to be under Li Jing's command, he was just a small soldier before, and later he was only a general under Huang Chao. It's just that it is by relying on the seller to seek glory that he can now occupy the land of several towns in western Henan. For the remnants of a grass thief, Yang Fugong did not look down on the former landlord's family feeding the swineherd. At the beginning, he promised such preferential conditions, it was because the situation was different at that time, and now that the Yellow Nest is gone, then Zhu Wen has no value, how can he still tolerate him occupying such a large territory?

Just take advantage of this opportunity to kill Zhu Wen and take back his territory.

It's ridiculous that a damn swineherd also wants to be called a lonely widow and become the king of Liang.

Of course, the most important thing is that although Zhu Quanzhong is now powerful, in Yang Fugong's eyes, he really hasn't fought any famous battles, which makes people feel that he is just like that, a fat pig who can be killed.

Yang Fuguang looked at his brother's letter carefully, this is indeed a big concession.

However, to put it in detail, the concessions on the side of the imperial court are not big.

The four states in western Henan were originally captured and controlled by Li Jing, and they did not take it back after a long time of confrontation. What really paid was only Bianzhou, or outside the Wugao Pass, anyway, the east bank of the Bianhe River was controlled by Li Jing, and the remaining Bianzhou was difficult to defend. As for the two towns of Chengde and Weibo in Hebei, although it is said that these two towns were lost, they also had a great impact on the imperial court. But now at this time, the dead friends are always better than the dead poor, the second town of Hebei is difficult to control, although it is said that he accepted the canonization of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, but in fact he is also a master who listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, in this case, it is better to let them fight, the two tigers fight, there will be damage, they are watching the fire on the other side, just hurry up to recuperate.

Yang Fugong didn't want to destroy the Qin Domain now, he just thought that it would be best to maintain the status quo. Just like when the Tang Dynasty recruited An Shi Yu to surrender, he appeased Li Jing. They are still the center of the imperial court, and Li Jing is just a vassal king of the northern lands. After more than ten or twenty years like this, when he dies, there will be a flood behind him.

As for the matter of supervising the country, as long as Li Jing does not support the new emperor, it can be regarded as appeasing him by supporting a prison state. Anyway, what they care about is the orthodoxy of the imperial court, and the rest doesn't matter. Whether he is in charge of the country or the prince, anyway, it is just to let Li Jing have an official name to control the Qin Domain more conveniently, and the name is justified. This thing can't be stopped, Li Jing won't agree to it in Luoyang, it's better to be generous, put it in Yanjing, and let Li Jing toss it.

The Emperor Taishang of Chengdu, the prison of Yanjing, go with him, in short, there is only one Son of Heaven in Chang'an.

Yang Fuguang handed the letter to Yang Shouliang and Yang Shouyi, "What do you think?" ”

"Feasible!" Yang Shouyi said.

"Not bad." Yang Shouliang also said, "However, Zhu Wen is now regarded as the commander of the largest feudal town in the imperial court except for Li Jing, he has a lot of soldiers and horses, the previous war with Huangchao and the battle between Yuxi and Huangchao, Zhu Wen has always preserved his strength, and the loss is not big, he is now considered a strong soldier, how can he give his head to Li Jing?" ”

"I don't think it's that hard." Yang Shouyi on the side smiled, "The father-in-law can tell Li Keyong that Li Jing wants his head, but the father-in-law will protect him, so now he needs Zhu Asan's head to meet Li Jing, so that he can find a way to cut off Zhu Asan's head and offer it, I believe that he will be very willing to use Zhu Wen's head to replace his head on Li Jing's case." ”

"Drive the tiger and devour the wolf, good plan!" Yang Fuguang exclaimed and nodded. (To be continued......)
