"No, no, no!" Li Jing chuckled and shook his head, and threw back the latest negotiation conditions handed over by Yang Fuguang, "Yang Gong hasn't shown the greatest sincerity yet." ”

"King Qin, our family feels that the imperial court has made great concessions." Yang Fuguang said with some confidence in his heart. But he still insisted, mainly because of Qin Fan's continuous concessions during this time, which made him feel that Li Jing should also want to reach this negotiation, so he kept pressing down. But this time, the smile on Li Jing's face slowly turned into a sneer, "Yang Gong must not regard our concession as weakness, everything has a limit." Today is Laba, and it is only less than a month before New Year's Day, Yang Gongmo will not forget it, right? Could it be that Yang Gong didn't really want to reach this negotiation? If so, then there is no need to waste time on both sides. ”

Yang Fuguang was shocked in his heart, Li Jing's sudden change made him uneasy. He watched Li Jing's expression carefully, this is by no means a negotiation skill, not a desire to get away with it, Li Jing's attitude shows that this has indeed touched Li Jing's bottom line.

"What does King Qin mean?"

Li Jing beckoned, and Luo Yin, the first assistant of the cabinet, handed Yang Fuguang a fold, which was the final condition of the Qin Domain.

After a full day of final negotiations, the negotiations finally came to an end and the two sides reached an agreement.

In the end, both sides made concessions, and in this agreement, the two sides divided the territory according to the area under the current actual control, and the four prefectures of Cai, Hao, Ying, and Chen in western Henan were thus assigned to the Qin domain, and the only remaining two prefectures of Bian and Zheng in Xuanwu Town, which were controlled by Zhu Wen, were divided into two, Bianzhou was assigned to the Qin domain, and Zhengzhou was assigned to the Chang'an court. In addition, about the compensation of the towns. Each of the eighteen towns compensated Qin Fan with 2.5 million yuan. That's a total of 45 million copper coins. However, this money will not really be handed over to Qin Fan. Because there is another clause in the agreement, the Qin clan pays 4.5 million yuan to the Chang'an court every year, which is paid as the Qin domain's taxes, including various salt and tea mining taxes, etc., and the Qin clan transfers the 45 million indemnity from the eighteen towns to the imperial court, which is equivalent to paying all taxes for ten years at a time.

This is actually just a play on words, and it is impossible for the towns to really be willing to pay compensation to Li Jing and let them lose money to Li Jing. It's better to go to war. And Li Jing could not pay tribute to the imperial court, in this case, the two sides played a play on words, literally, the towns paid 45 million to the Qin Domain, and the same, literally, the Qin Dynasty also paid a one-time tribute of 45 million guan to the imperial court for ten years. But in reality, it's just a set of numbers on the books, and there isn't any actual penny flowing. Li Jing could not receive the compensation from the feudal town. The imperial court could not receive Li Jing's tribute, and of course the feudal towns would not turn to the imperial court to hand over the money. But on the surface. This play on words is meaningful, which makes the negotiations more fruitful.

Of course, the most important thing is the other one, for the Qin Domain, the most important result of this achievement is that the Chang'an Imperial Court finally gave up the betrayal of the two feudal towns in Hebei, Wei Bo and Chengde, they have agreed to make Wei Bo and Chengde rebellious feudal towns, and authorized Li Jing to send troops to attack the two towns, and after the capture of the two towns, they are also completely under the control of the Qin domain.

For the Chang'an court, they also achieved the result they wanted most, and Li Jing agreed to abandon the plan to support the new emperor and establish a new dynasty in Hebei. The Qin clan and Li Jing were only loyal to the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, and they were still nominally feudal towns under the Tang Dynasty. For this reason, the imperial court also awarded Li Jing Tiance the post of General, Shang Shu Ling, fake Huang Yue, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the post of Shang Shu Ling of the Great Xingtai of Eastern Shaanxi Province.

In addition, as compensation for Li Jing's abandonment of supporting the new emperor, the Chang'an court agreed to immediately establish a prison state, and the candidate finally chose the candidate proposed by Li Jing, a candidate that no one expected in advance. Neither King Zhao Li Wei, nor King Ji Li Bao, but King Mu Li Yi. Li Yi, Li Yi and Li Ye, Li Bao's younger brother, Li Wei's nephew, Yizong's eighth son, the daughter of an ordinary palace man, has no maternal power, and is only ten years old now.

After Li Jing put forward this list that surprised everyone, it made everyone feel that it was so normal. After all, King Zhao is very old and has a certain amount of power, and Li Bao is known as the virtuous king, whether it is Li Xiao or Li Bao, it is not as good as a ten-year-old prince who does not have the slightest maternal power.

Yang Fuguang did not object to this candidate, anyway, they had already compromised on this point, as for who became the prisoner, they couldn't interfere anyway, so they didn't bother to care.

On New Year's Day, General Li Yi officially received the canonization of the Son of Heaven of Chang'an in Yanjing and became the state affairs of the supervising army. Originally, Li Jing also planned to directly let Li Yi become the crown prince's younger brother, but this Yang Fuguang was unwilling to compromise, and Li Jing accepted it when he saw it, although he was not the prince's prison country, and he was going to drop a grade, but he controlled a prison country, and he could still justifiably fight against Chang'an, whether it was nominally or in fact, he really controlled the Qin Domain, and greatly strengthened his control over those allies and towns, especially with a prison country in hand, for those wealthy families in the Qin Domain, Especially those civil and military officials of the former imperial court who came from Chang'an, Luoyang and other places have a great effect.

At the same time that Li Yi became the superintendent of military affairs and would build a government in Yanjing, according to the agreement, there would also be three important military affairs of Pingzhang to assist in the administration of the superintendent. These three important military affairs in Pingzhang were respectively served by the emperor's uncle Li Jing, the king of Qin, the emperor's uncle Zhaowang Li Wei, and the emperor's younger brother Ji Wang Li Bao. Pingzhang is a major military matter, and even ranks above the prime minister of Pingzhang. The three Pingzhang military affairs are headed by Li Jing.

In addition to these most important articles, Yang Fuguang had to give up his intention to make Li Jing's daughter the queen under Li Jing's refusal. The most popular candidate for the queen is the niece of Li Jing's clan, although she failed to get Li Jing's concubine as the queen, she may get the daughter of the Li clan as the queen, in Yang Fuguang's opinion, it is also a good result.

Of course, there was also a secret clause at the end, the Chang'an court needed to hand over Zhu Quanzhong's head to the Qin domain.

"Yang Gong!"

"King Qin!"

The negotiations were finally reached, and Li Jing and Yang Fuguang signed their respective names on the agreement, and after stamping their seals, they each stretched out their hands and shook hands. Li Jing held Yang Fuguang's hand and shook it tightly a few times, and Yang Fuguang, who was pinched by those powerful big hands, was a little painful. But you still have to smile on your face. He didn't like this new etiquette that was now quietly emerging in the Qin Domain. I always feel too much. It's just like the clothes in the Qin Domain. It's full of too much Hu Feng, and Hu Feng is too prevalent. Even when I walked out into the street, I could see all kinds of Hu people everywhere, especially the shaving order that Qin Fan had just issued: all Hu people, no matter where they came from, as long as they were not Han Chinese, they were not allowed to keep their original hairstyle, regardless of whether they were bald or braided before. Now all the Hu men have shaved their hair short, just like the monk. Half of the streets are full of those short hairs, and it is very uncomfortable to look at people.

Today's Qin Domain is indeed strong, and there is even a kind of atmosphere in the early Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, open, tolerant, and the submission of all ethnic groups, all of which serve the Qin Domain. But under this open atmosphere. It also made Hu more serious. Too many Hu people poured into all parts of the Qin Domain, and the Qin Domain was assimilating and changing the Hu people at the same time. The Hu people are also influencing and changing the Han people. In particular, Li Jing's order that the Hu people are not allowed to marry with the same clan seems absurd, but the consequences are extremely strong, and after a few decades, where can you still find a pure Khitan, Xi, Tatar, Goguryeo and other various tribes? At that time, there will only be Han and Hu people, and even according to Li Jing's current practice, maybe a hundred years later, even pure-blooded Han people will not be found. Just as the current Hu people began to shave their hair and wear Han and Tang Dynasty clothes, it may not be long before the Han people of the Qin Dynasty will also shave off their long hair that has been left for thousands of years, and even the Han and Tang Dynasty costumes may one day be combined with Hu Fu and eventually become a brand new and full of Hu and Han qualifications.

Is this change good? Yang Fuguang was a little distracted for a while. The early Tang Dynasty and the Prosperous Tang Dynasty had a heart that embraced all rivers and rivers, and tolerance was great, and as a result, all ethnic groups were accommodated, creating an unprecedented prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty. But in the end, it was these Hu people who gave Datang the most fatal blow, which made Datang weak after that. Since then, Datang no longer trusts the Hu people and has always maintained a deep sense of vigilance. Today's Li Jing seems to be following the old path of the Tang Dynasty again, but it is a little different.

Think about the current Li Keyong, Li Sigong, Helian Duo and other commanders under the court, and then look at the generals and soldiers under Li Jing, the two sides have gone in completely different directions. Maybe the imperial court has gone astray!

"Yang Gong really doesn't stay in Yanjing to celebrate the New Year?"

"No, we have to implement the agreement between us right away." The agreement has been agreed, but Yang Fuguang will not relax his vigilance, this agreement is just a delaying tactic to buy respite for the imperial court. It's not that the world is really peaceful, he knows very well that Li Jing's compromise at this time is just retracting the heavy punch that he just hit in the northeast, and it won't be long before that punch will definitely come out again. Time is running out, and they have to prepare early, urgently.

"Since that's the case, then don't stay with Yang Gong more, I'm waiting for Yang Gong's good news in Yanjing!"

Yang Fuguang knew that this was about Zhu Wen's head, and he nodded. In order to truly deal with Li Jing, the first thing the Chang'an court needed was to reunify the separate feudal towns. Taking advantage of Li Jing's goal of the second town in Hebei, he happened to take down Zhu Wen, and recaptured the three towns of Xuanwu in one state, which was controlled by Zhu Wen, and controlled it in the hands of the imperial court. Only when the territory directly controlled by the imperial court is large and the soldiers and horses are strong, can they order other feudal towns to finally twist into a rope and fight against Li Jing together. Otherwise, in the end, the imperial court can't even control the other feudal towns, how can it deal with Li Jing?

Seeing that Yang Fuguang was unwilling to stay longer for a moment, and left Beijing in a hurry, Li Jing brought a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This negotiation was unexpectedly successful!

Li Jing was in a good mood, although the strength of the Qin army was very strong, no matter how strong the strength was, he couldn't fight in vain. was able to successfully force the Chang'an Imperial Court to give up the second town of Hebei, which was really a big gain for Li Jing. After being abandoned by the Chang'an court, the second town of Hebei has completely become a fish on the chopping board of the Qin army, and it was slaughtered by the Qin army.

Tactically, the more they face a weak enemy, the more they sometimes have to leave a glimmer of hope for the other side, so that they have illusions, and it is difficult to really break out the heart of the fish and the net. Give them hope that will never be touched, and let them keep retreating, retreating with this bit of luck.

After all, one day, when they found that there was no way to retreat, they wanted to resist desperately, and at that time, he had completely lost the point where he could hurt people.

This is both a tactic and a human weakness.

"Inform the Shandong garrison that it is ready to take over Bianzhou at any time. Then notify the camp to the west of Henan. Let them not take the initiative to provoke a war. Adhere to the four states of western Henan. But if someone dares to take the initiative to provoke, they will not hesitate to fight back! Li Jing gave an order, "The General Staff Yuan, the Military Department, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are ready to swallow up the second town of Wei Bochengde next year." ”

Gai Yu said: "The plan of the General Staff is a little more prudent, and now that the negotiations have been completed, then it is enough to have soldiers who have returned from outside the border to sit in various places, and there are border guards and road guards on the border." It is completely possible to disband all the auxiliaries and return home and let them recuperate. to prepare for next year's spring ploughing. After the beginning of spring, a small force was sent to raid the long border between the prefectures of Weibo and Chengde to sabotage their spring ploughing work and delay their farming time. Then, when the summer harvest came, another large-scale raid and harassment war was launched, the main purpose of which was to rob the crops and grain of the two towns, and to tightly seal the Yellow River. Then they will be plunged into a famine, and by the time the grain is ready in the autumn, our men and horses will have rested. There was grain in the granary, and there was ample equipment in the arsenal. The horses in the horse farm are also fat, and at that time, we will gather a large army to attack the two towns on all fronts, first rob them of their grain, and then attack the city, there will be no harvest for a year, and the two towns will be difficult to fight, and we will be able to end the war this autumn, and we will be able to take the two towns in winter at the latest. ”

This is a very sound strategic plan, and it is also a traditional tactic. It is especially suitable for the attacking side, and especially for the side with the advantage of the situation.

"Will the time be too long, a year, I'm afraid of long nights and dreams?" Lin Wei was a little worried. According to this plan, we will have to wait for more than half a year. Who knows if the Chang'an court will regret it for so long, and if they intervene in the Hebei war again, then the compromise made by the Chang'an side will not be in vain.

"It's not long, if you can really take the second town in a year, it's still very short." Although the second town of Hebei has weakened, it is an old feudal town, and it has not been hit too fatally over the years, and its strength is still there. It's really time to fight hard, especially if they are defending the territory and fighting, completely occupying the home advantage, and fighting one city after another, which is not easy. Moreover, the Qin army is still very tired now, and it has just ended the battle in the Northeast, so it is impossible to fight another big battle without stopping. It's the middle of winter now, and although it's not as cold as outside the gates, fighting inside the gates is also very different from outside the gates. The war inside the pass is more about the offensive and defensive battles of the city, which is actually more difficult than the war outside the pass.

Moreover, the Qin army had just finished the battle in the Northeast, and the consumption was huge, but the war dividends in the Northeast occupied areas could not be immediately reaped for a while. Qin Jun himself also needs a transition time!

"Well, isolate them, besiege them, consume them, defeat them with fear and hunger, and put the Inspectorate and the Propaganda Department into combat readiness, and for the next year, our main focus will be on this war." Li Jing has his own plan, no matter what the situation outside, he is steadily moving towards the goal.

Li Rang said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, in fact, Chang'an is far worse than we imagined." Not to mention a year, it is estimated that it is given them three years, and they may not recover. The household department predicts that the famine in the Guanlong area will continue next year, and there is even a tendency to expand and spread, and large-scale famine will break out in the entire Guanlong, Henan, Hedong, Shannan, Jingnan, and other places next year. After all these years of fighting, more and more evil consequences are breaking out, and the good things are still to come. ”

"That's not all!" Li Jing silently added in his heart. Yang Fuguang promised to hand over Zhu Wen's head to him, but he didn't believe that Zhu Wen was so easy to deal with. He was now very interested in knowing how Yang Fuguang wanted to deal with Zhu Wen, and maybe he could add more fire to make this matter more lively. If Zhu Wen and the Yang brothers get involved, then it will be called really lively, and at that time, even if the Chang'an Imperial Court wants to interfere in the situation in Hebei again, it is estimated that it will be powerless.

Thinking of this, Li Jing turned his head to Gongsun Lan and said, "Auntie, you immediately arrange for the Supervision Department to closely monitor the movements of the Yang brothers and the Zhu Wen brothers, and if there is a little trouble, report back immediately." ”

Gongsun Lan guessed a little bit of Li Jing's thoughts, "Why don't you directly reveal the agreement with the Yang brothers to Zhu Wen?" ”

Discord meter?

Li Jing shook his head, this is too simple. Tell Zhu Wen too early that maybe Zhu Wen will compromise with Yang Fuguang in the end, and it is possible to reach a new agreement. You can't reveal this too soon, you have to let things already start and intervene when both sides have no way out, so it will be interesting.

"What method will Yang Fuguang use to deal with Zhu Wen? Assassination, or bribery of Xuanwu generals to mutiny? "Funny, funny, Li Jing chuckled a little smugly. At present, many people don't pay much attention to Zhu Wen, and most of them underestimate Zhu Wen. Brother Yang Fuguang did not hesitate to protect Li Keyong and abandon Zhu Wen, which seemed normal. But Li Jing is very clear, in terms of the late Tang Dynasty in history, Li Ke's tactical ability may be the first, but in terms of strategic ability, it ranks fifth or even tenth at most. But Zhu Wen, a very ordinary guy in the early stage, was actually not weak in his tactical ability, at least he could rank in the top three in the late Tang Dynasty, and in terms of strategic level, he surpassed Li Keyong by ten streets, which could be called the highest one among the towns and towns at that time.

Yang Fuguang, a eunuch who is very capable of fighting, is really looking forward to what kind of sparks he will encounter against Shang Pi Zhu, a guy who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and hides deeply. (To be continued......)
