The rise of the prince

Chapter 826 Negotiations
"Let's talk about the land first. Datong Mansion in the west, the Liaoxi Corridor area, and the Liaodong area currently occupied by our army. Only the states north of Liaoyang can show mercy and return it to you." Li Xingzhou in front of Wan Yanli, Pu Chayi, and Liu Xu Talk eloquently.

He had already thought about many conditions before.

Regarding this proposal, everyone in the Kingdom of Jin did not object, and they did not wish to return it. At this time, the two main forces of the Kingdom of Jin, the main force of the Jin Army under the Generalissimo Wan Yan Zongbi, and the main force of the King of Qi Pu Chayi The imperial guards were all dispersed, and they no longer had the qualifications to claim land.

On the contrary, they were flattered that Li Xingzhou returned several states north of Liaoyang.

As far as Li Xingzhou is concerned, he does not want the snowfield area to the north, which is difficult to manage and control.

Moreover, Yang Hongzhao, Di Zhi, and Wei Yubai all wrote to him about the situation in Liaodong. Among them, Yang Hongzhao mentioned that the living space of the Jurchens north of Liaoyang should not be squeezed.

Yang Hongzhao believed that the Liao King Wanyan Zongbi had a tense relationship with the King of Jin, and Wanyanli even put Wanyan Zongbi under house arrest.

In addition, before going to Beijing was at stake, Wanyan Zongbi led an army to flee north in Liaoyang, which added fuel to the fire.

The Lord of the Kingdom of Jin must have hated his uncle deeply, and may even suspect him of rebellion, and geographically, the Jin army was also divided into two groups.

The old-school elite army is under Wanyan Zongbi, to the east; the remnants of the Imperial Guard newly formed after the founding of the Kingdom of Jin are in Shangjing, to the west.

If pressure is applied, maybe their uncles and nephews will let go of their hatred and join forces to fight against Jingguo for a long time. If they are given space to survive and show that they no longer threaten the two sides, they will most likely attack each other and fight each other.

At that time, maybe the Kingdom of Jin will be destroyed in World War I and become Dongjin and Xijin.

Li Xingzhou felt that Yang Hongzhao's proposal was very high. He also gave them a few barren and harsh states, but planted a big bomb for Jin Guo, which might detonate at any time.

Even if it doesn't blow up, it's not a loss, just use it as a gambling chip.

Liu Xu also expressed his gratitude to him excitedly, and Li Xingzhou smiled generously: "No thanks, who told me to be kind and charitable? I must be one of the world's most benevolent people."

The other party smiled awkwardly and did not refute.

Li Xingzhou turned to Wan Yanli and said, "Secondly, from today onwards, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin must remove his title of emperor.

There is only one emperor in the world, and that is the emperor of my country Jing!
At that time, the emperor will make you the golden king, and you can also call yourself the lord of the country. Every year, you will pay 10 good horses and [-] taels of silver to Jingguo. "Li Xingzhou didn't ask for much, because most of the rich places were taken away by him, and Jin Guo couldn't give much.

As soon as the words came out, after translation, many people's faces changed.

"Your Highness, this is too much. My Kingdom of Jin belongs to Zhengshuo in the north, the tribes of the grasslands, the Kingdom of Xia, and the suzerain of Goryeo. How can I lose the title of emperor and submit to King Jin? This is against the law." Liu Xu argued with an ugly face.

They didn't say a word about losing money or paying tribute to good horses. The key was to bow their heads and bow their heads and get rid of the title of emperor.

Liu Xu and Pu Chayi looked indignant, but the young emperor Wanyanli looked a little anxious. He was probably the most afraid of death among the three.

"We are indeed not your opponents, but no matter what, this is the legacy left by the late emperor!
Countless warriors served the imperial guards and died under the swords of the Liao people. Countless women lost their husbands, and their children lost their father's inheritance!
When we came from Liaodong, we shed no less blood than in the past six months, and we suffered no less hardships than in the past six months!

Under the leadership of the former emperor, our people experienced so many hardships to drive away the Liao people, defeat the Tatars, and obtain the status of the Ninth Five.If you want to take away the state of Dajin, you have to step on my dead body! "Pu Chayi was filled with righteous indignation, looking directly at the young Commander Jing Jun in front of him with piercing eyes, the glory and blood of fighting side by side with the former emperor in the past is still vivid in his memory.

The grave of the first emperor was not yet dry, nor was his blood dry. He trembled with anger when he heard that the other party asked the Dajin Kingdom to be reduced to a vassal state. They could give money and war horses, but they must not lose the title of emperor.

Seeing King Qi's impassioned speech, all the ministers and queens in the rear were full of enthusiasm, and looked angrily at Li Xingzhou, the demon king who oppressed them in front.

However, the opponent was indifferent to this imposing pressure, and even laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Touched by her father's words, Pu Cha interrupted dissatisfied and full of enthusiasm. She felt that the other party was despising her, her father, the emperor, and the Dajin Kingdom.

Then she felt that she was being scanned by an extremely aggressive gaze. She knew it was the gaze of the demon leader Li Xingzhou, but in order not to lose her momentum or lose the face of the queen of the Kingdom of Jin, she clenched her fingers and tried to stand upright. straight.

"King Qi, you are worthy of being a noble family in Liaodong, a capable official who governs the locality. What you say is beautiful, but it is exaggerated." The other party completely ignored their anger and talked freely.

"If you want to say that your first emperor, Wanyan Wugu, is indeed a generation of heroes, this commander also met once a few years ago, and we had a very happy conversation. I also respect him."

Speaking of this, he smiled disdainfully, "Hehe, but you want to say that now in the Kingdom of Jin, you are too embarrassed to speak up, and how dare you mention Wanyan Wugunai? You are really thick-skinned. If he knows anything about the past few years, I will say It's to help him clean up his unworthy descendants, maybe Wanyan Wugu should thank me as well."

The words "you" made Pu Chayi and Liu Xu turn pale, but they couldn't refute them. At the same time, Li Xingzhou also gave them a step down. After all, as long as this kind of thing is agreed, Wan Yanli, Pu Chayi, and Liu Xu will all be The eternal sinner, the great gold sinner.

But the main character, Wan Yanli, is timid, and he doesn't care the least, he only cares about saving his life.

Both Pu Chayi and Liu Xu had moral obstacles. They felt sorry for the late emperor and the country.

Li Xingzhou's words seemed arrogant and domineering, belittling the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, but they were actually helping Pu Chayi and Liu Xu get rid of the moral dilemma without any trace, and gave them a step down.

Your former emperors are heroes and outstanding people. You give respect to the people they admire, and at the same time imply to them that the failure of the Jin Kingdom was due to the lack of success of the previous queens, and has little to do with you.

Sure enough, the two were silent
"Furthermore, the King of Qi does not need to lay his corpse in front of this commander. I came all the way from Shanhaiguan, and there are at least tens of thousands of people who lay their corpses in front of this commander. Is he handsome in front of you?"

He spoke very coldly, and glanced at everyone. The people who were still filled with righteous indignation just now, like a pot of cold water poured on the spot, immediately turned off the fire.

Li Xingzhou was just stating a fact. He had fought all the way here from Shanhaiguan, and the corpses of the Jin army were piled up like a mountain. No one could stop him from going to Shangjing. So what if there is one more Pu Chayi?But it's also a heart-wrenching fact.

So facts speak louder than words. This is probably the case. No matter how much they say, no matter how impassioned they are, they are powerless to struggle in the face of such facts.

In the end, Liu Xu and Pu Chayi could only nod silently, agreeing to the second request. Wan Yanli, who was next to him, wanted to agree a long time ago, and quickly followed up to say yes.

Just by opening his mouth, he has changed from an emperor to a king.

However, Liu Xu still stubbornly put forward a condition. After this battle, Xia Guo, Koryo, Dali, Jiaozhi and other countries will most likely bow down to Jing Guo in a down-to-earth manner.

When the King of Jing Kingdom becomes the king, the King of Jin must be above all the kings. After all, many of these countries were originally vassal states of the Kingdom of Jin.

Li Xingzhou agreed. This kind of face-saving charity is what he is most willing to do. It can also reflect the "generosity" of the suzerain and increase its influence without any actual loss.

There were still many minute-by-minute discussions, and both sides argued hard. Although the atmosphere was not good, and Jin Guo's side was so angry that everyone gritted their teeth, they agreed to the conditions.

The additional clauses are that the military fortress north of Huizhou, the Kingdom of Jin, must be dismantled, that the Kingdom of Jin must not hinder any trade between the two countries, and that Jingguo merchants do business in the Kingdom of Jin without paying any customs duties.

Jing Guo will open an embassy in the capital of Jin State, set up officials, and station a battalion of troops. Jing Guo officials, soldiers, and business travelers violate the law in Jin State.

The Golden Army shall not set up checkpoints and forts within [-] miles of the border between the two countries.

The bargaining war between the two sides lasted until the afternoon sun set, Li Xingzhou wanted to do his best to eat the other party to death.

Everyone in the Kingdom of Jin didn't look good, but they were helpless, and they couldn't reach an agreement on some minor details, mainly about the transfer of prisoners, so they agreed to continue the discussion tomorrow.

The next day, there was another verbal battle, this time the focus was on the prisoners. Jing Jun not only had the Jin Army prisoners in his hands, but also a large number of imperial relatives and nobles captured from Liaoyang, as well as hostages from various Jurchen clans.
