Dajin royal family

Chapter 395 Yuwen's Danger
An hour later, the two parties agreed that one person, Yu Wenhuaji, would be exchanged for three others.

Which three?
Naturally, it was the three people that Jiang Chengxiao had appointed for Yu Qingze in advance.

They are Pei Ju, Zheng Shanyuan, and Wang Hong.

After the negotiation, Yu Qing was more satisfied, while Xu Yixin had a bitter face.

Perhaps in his lord's heart, the leaders of the Shandong gentry who did not cooperate with him were not as valuable as his own son, but Xu Yixin understood that when the three of them returned to Taiyuan, King Liang's reputation would definitely increase greatly.

Like Li Yuan in Guanzhong, behind him is the support of the nobles in Guanzhong.

And King Liang, who got Pei Ju and others, has Shandong gentry behind him.

In this way, Liang Wang is firmly seated in Bingzhou, and he will definitely be the number one enemy of the lord in the future.

But he couldn't help it, who made the frontal battle lose, who made Yu Wenhuaji get caught.

Power is stronger than people.

"May I ask Lord Yu, how long will His Royal Highness King Liang stay in Henan County?" Xu Yixin asked.

Now it is time to start the second negotiation, which is to let King Liang withdraw from Henan County.

Yu Qing said unhurriedly: "My Royal Highness is ordering the Queen Mother to seek thieves, so naturally he wants to take Luoyang."

Hearing this, Xu Yixin couldn't help laughing angrily at Yu Qingze's words.

After talking for a long time, we returned to the original point.

Fight to the death.

However, after these two dealings, he also knew that Yu Qingze was a man of no means, and his main task now was to reconcile with King Liang and make King Liang retreat.

Therefore, Xu Yixin endured the anger in her heart, and said with a smile: "Our two families are all for the protection of the Jin family, there is no need to face each other life and death, there are many rebels in the world, why should King Liang set his sights on the Central Plains?"

What this means is that we should reconcile first, and then slowly compete with each other later.

In fact, this is the worst strategy among the three strategies he dedicated to Yu Wenshu, but there is no way, now Li Fazhu has not retreated, and the rebels in the south are ready to move, they must first stabilize King Liang.

Yu Qing understood. After pondering for a moment, he said: "This time, my Highness conquered Luoyang, firstly for the murderer who murdered the late emperor, and secondly for the food and pay of the three armies. Now nothing has been accomplished. "

Hearing this, Xu Yixin's eyes lit up.

This sentence is worthy of scrutiny.

First of all, Yu Qing didn't mention Yu Wenshu by name and said that Yu Wenshu was a traitor, and Yu Wenshu must be caught.

This gives them a room to maneuver, they can just grab a scapegoat and hand it over to King Liang.

Secondly, they still want food, but they don't need 100 million shi for a mouthful.

Xu Yixin thought it over and said: "Actually, my lord has been arresting the murderer who murdered the late emperor for a long time. Now that he has a plan, he can hand it over to King Liang at any time. As for the military salary."

"Master Yu, what's the number?"

Xu Yixin stretched out two fingers.

Yu Qing shook his head, "For 30 shi, there is no less grain."

"Too much." Xu Yixin shook her head.

"Not much, not much."

"Master Yu!"

"Master Xu!"

The two stared at each other cross-eyed.

After a while, Xu Yixin was defeated.

"Okay, let's make a deal on this number."

"It's a deal!" Yu Qing laughed.

On the other side, Luoyang.

Yu Wenshu was lining up troops in the lobby, and if Xu Yixin's negotiations failed, he had to compete with Jiang Chengxiao.

At this moment, a messenger soldier stepped into the lobby.

"Report to the lord, general Yin Kai hastened to report."

"speak!"

Yu Wenshu couldn't help thinking that Yin Kai was the general he sent to deal with Li Fazhu, and if he brought good news this time, then his chances of winning against Jiang Chengxiao would be increased by one point.

"General Yin Kai lost to Master Li in Dongping County and has already retreated to Puyang in Dongjun County. General Yin Kai begged the prince to send troops to help quickly."

Unfortunately, the news is not good.

Yu Wenshu felt his eyes go dark, and immediately took several steps back.

The generals and counselors below surrounded him one after another and supported Yu Wenshu.

"How could this happen? Yin Kai has an army of tens of thousands, how could he still lose to Li Fazhu?" Yu Wenshu gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his heart, as if he was asking himself and the counselors around him.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one could answer this question.

The messenger soldier knew that Yu Wenshu was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, but he still bit the bullet and reported.

"General Yin Kai fought a few victories at the beginning, but because he underestimated the bandits, he led his army to chase after them, and the front and rear troops were out of touch. This gave the bandits a chance."

Hearing this, Yu Wenshu only felt a heat in his chest, and immediately took a deep breath, forcefully holding back the breath.

He stood up straight and ordered: "Tell Yin Kai, no matter what method Gu uses, he must guard Puyang, otherwise you will let him kill himself!"

At this moment, how could he divide his troops to deal with Li Fazhu? What would he do if the evil bird got the news and the army besieged Luoyang?
"Yes!" The messenger soldier left in a hurry.

At this time, Yu Wenshu suddenly felt a little lucky, thankfully he didn't put his hope on Li Fazhu's side, otherwise the current situation would definitely be more dangerous.

In this way, he must reconcile with Jiang Chengxiao, otherwise the pressure on the two fronts will be too great.

Furthermore, the news that Liang Wang and Li Fazhu are besieging him may have spread all over the world, Zhu Jie of Nanyang and Wang Kuoxiong of Runan are staring at him at this moment, he must not face the enemy.

After all, they still seized the opportunity.

If you give him another ten months of effort, and when he completely stabilizes Luoyang, he will definitely not be forced here by Jiang Chengxiao and Li Fazhu.

The next day, Xu Yixin returned to Luoyang with Jiang Chengxiao's conditions, and met Yu Wenshu.

"My lord, this is Jiang Chengxiao's condition. Although it is a bit harsh, my subordinates feel that."

Before Xu Yixin finished speaking, Yu Wenshu waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Sir, Yin Kai was defeated by Li Fazhu in Dongping County, and now he has retreated to Puyang."

After the words fell, Xu Yi was startled.

"How did this happen? General Yin Kai has tens of thousands of troops, how could he be defeated by Master Li so quickly?"

They got information that Li Fazhu only led an army of [-] this time, while Yin Kai had [-] troops, how could they lose so quickly.

Yu Wenshu sighed, "Sir, it seems that Li Fazhu is very dissatisfied with the 'King of Lu'. I'm afraid he has his eyes on Luoyang."

At the end, Yu Wenshu's tone became cold, filled with deep dissatisfaction.

This dissatisfaction is not only a ignorance of Li Fazhu, but also a dissatisfaction with Xu Yixin's "best policy" at the beginning.

Li Fazhu's appetite was bigger than they thought.

How could Xu Yixin fail to hear Yu Wenshu's dissatisfaction, he bowed deeply, and said with a wry smile: "This time, it's my subordinate's scheme that is not good, please forgive me, my lord."

"Okay, now that the enemy is at hand, sir, I'd better think about how to retreat from the enemy, and make meritorious deeds." Yu Wen said.

"Yes, my subordinate thanked the prince."

Xu Yixin calmed down a bit, and said, "Since Master Li does not agree to the peace talks, we can only start with King Liang."

"What's the worst strategy you're talking about?" Yu Wenshu snorted.

No matter how you look at it, Liang Wang is even more difficult than Li Fazhu.

Xu Yixin endured Yuwen's cunning, and said: "This time we have discussed in the past, and the subordinates have already negotiated. Jiang Chengxiao wants three people, 30 shi of grain, and one murderer. He will let General Yuwen go and retreat."

Hearing this, Yu Wenshu squinted his eyes.

30 shi of grain, although the amount is huge, but he can take it out, if this can make Jiang Chengxiao retreat, he can consider it.

"Which three does he want?"

"Pei Ju, Zheng Shanyuan, Wang Hong."

Yuwen said that he was silent.

Although these three people were not loyal to him, he didn't want to let Jiang Chengxiao go.

Because these three were the leaders of the Shandong gentry, releasing them to Jiang Chengxiao was tantamount to creating opponents comparable to Li Yuan and Yu Binghong.

It doesn't matter if the 30 shi of grain is gone. Plant in spring and harvest in autumn. One day in the future, 30 shi of grain will be restocked.

But Pei Ju and others
Their family background, their prestige among the gentry.

A mere 30 shi of grain is not comparable to them.

"Can you change the conditions?" Yu Wenshu asked with a fluke mentality.

Xu Yixin shook her head, "To tell you the truth, Jiang Chengxiao's previous request was even more excessive than this, and this is already the result of his concession."

"But sir, you should know the influence of Pei Ju and others among the Shandong gentry, and hand them over to Jiang Chengxiao. From now on, the scholars in the world and the people of Bingzhou will definitely attach themselves to Jiang Chengxiao wholeheartedly, and his power will only become stronger!" Yu Wenshu's face was gloomy.

Xu Yixin asked back: "Then will they be loyal to the prince?"

Forehead.
Yu Wenshu was silent. If they were willing to be loyal to him, why would he be in such a hurry now, he had to take care of both the front line and the court.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that, as the leader of the Shandong gentry, Pei Ju and others were unlikely to be loyal to him.

However, he still wanted to win them over slowly in the future.

Without the support of the Shandong gentry, how can he compete with the Guanzhong nobles?
"My lord, our top priority now is to get King Liang to retreat, and then repel Master Li to stabilize the Central Plains. If King Liang doesn't retreat, Fa Master Li is in the east to contain us, and sooner or later something big will happen." Xu Yixin persuaded earnestly.
