Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 19 The Jurchen Envoy
plain town,

Inside the Hou Mansion,
After Zhang Jinyu finished washing, she dined with Mrs. Wang in Dongyun Building. Mrs. Wang kept adding food to Zhang Jinyu's bowl. Zhang Jinyu looked at the bowl that was almost shaped like a hill and said with a wry smile;

"Mother, enough is enough, I can't let it go!"

"Then why don't you eat quickly!"

"I'm almost at the end of it."

"You! It's okay, I won't add it to you."

Madam Wang put down her chopsticks, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Today, how about the front."

"Going back to mother, it's too tragic. In one day, the two sides each suffered 5 casualties, which is unheard of!"

Zhang Jinyu had a sad face, she really couldn't bear it,

"What, so many casualties on the first day?"

Mrs. Wang is also a soldier, so many people were killed and injured on the first day, which has never happened in the Dawu Empire in these years, or it has not happened for a long time, except for the moment when the country was founded and conquered the world.

"Can you hold on?"

Mrs. Wang is considering whether to use the 5 artisans in the city.

"It's okay, mother, don't worry, I have already made up my mind."

Zhang Jinyu wasn't too worried.

"Report, Lord Hou, the city gate guard will report to the future, and the Jurchens commander-in-chief He Lianchen and Fu Chazhen will come to negotiate in person!"

Ning Bian said anxiously outside.

"What? Did you make a mistake?"

Zhang Jinyu thought she had heard it wrong, and Mrs. Wang, Lan Yueer, and the other three were also taken aback. The two sides fought to death during the day, and they will come to talk tonight.

"Master Hou, that's right. These two are Jurchen's most important ministers, Huang Jitai's confidantes. They said that they have urgent matters to discuss with Lord Pingyang."

Yongbyon answered in the affirmative again.

"Okay, I got it. You take people into the city and take them to the reception hall of the Hou Mansion. You go there yourself, don't let others see, I'll be there soon."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

After Ning Bian responded, he immediately left to pick up the person.

"Jinyu, what's the situation? Could it be something bad?"

Mrs. Wang also couldn't understand it. This kind of abnormality was either bad or aimed at others. There were many such things in the church, and they did everything by cheating and abducting.

"I don't know. Let's talk when we see you. Mother, take a good rest. I'll go there first."

Zhang Jinyu was also confused, got up and prepared to leave,

"Then be careful."

"understood!"

Zhang Jinyu walked out, and the sound of closing the door was heard outside the house.

Mrs. Wang sat there for a while, but she was still a little worried. This Jurchen was like a jackal, and she was afraid that there was some conspiracy.

"Lan Yue, Lan Shu, come here,"

"Ma'am here, huh? How did the young master leave?"

"Yes, the young master eats so fast?"

Lan Yueer and Lan Shuer asked suspiciously when they saw Mrs. Wang sitting alone at the dining table in the room,

"The Jurchens came to negotiate with Jinyu, so he left first."

"Ah! No way, I heard that so many people were killed and injured during the day, and even the medical center couldn't accommodate so many wounded soldiers. Many mansions were requisitioned to arrange it. Isn't it a trap to negotiate now?"

Lan Yueer said worriedly.

Seeing that Lan Yueer said the same thing, Mrs. Wang was even more worried.

"You two don't stand still, come with me, open the secret passage, go to the living room in front, let's go and listen to what we are talking about?"

"It's Madam!"

The three of them came to the study room of the dormitory on the first floor of Dongyun Building, turned the copper stove on the bookcase, and the bookcase sank automatically, revealing a dark and secret passage. , I took a photo inside and walked in directly.

When the figures of the three disappeared,
With a "click", the bookcase automatically returned.

Outside the east city of Pingyang County,
He Lianchen and Fu Cha really waited for a while, and then saw a young general leading them in. Of course, none of the guards let him in.

The two also cooperated, knowing that it would be useless to bring many guards with them, they might as well tell each other frankly and honestly.

After entering the city, he went straight to the Hou's Mansion. His vision was blurred in the night, and he couldn't see the specific situation of the city clearly.

But the two feel that they are worthy of being great warriors, warriors are good at building cities, and the city of Pingyang County is so big and majestic, which is the only thing they have ever seen in their lives.

After walking for a long time, he finally came to the Hou's Mansion in the center of the city. When he came in, he clearly felt the aura of local tyrants rushing towards his face. He Lianchen felt that it was so magnificent, that Dawu's palace must be worth every inch of land.

Fu Chazhen was also attracted by these beautiful scenery for a while, this is the pattern, Fu Chazhen especially likes the literati atmosphere of warriors.

After savoring it by himself, he followed Ning Bian to the living room of the Hou Mansion.

After entering the door, I saw a young man sitting on the main seat drinking tea, leisurely,

"This is it?"

Helen Chen asked first,
"This is the Lord Hou of Pingyuan County, Zhang Jinyu, the governor of Luoyun Plain."

Ning Bian introduced next to him,

The two of He Lianchen were also taken aback, this was unexpected, Jiedu envoys at this age are rare!

It seems that Emperor Dawu has also spent his blood. In this way, it is a war between the two families. No wonder the defenders are so powerful.

"I have met Lord Hou. I am a special envoy sent by Jurchen Khan. Discuss the misunderstanding between our two families."

He Lianchen also considered it carefully and said,

Sitting there, Zhang Jinyu saw the two tall and burly men, but they were obviously dressed in foreign costumes, and they looked like people from the Central Plains.
And reluctantly nodded;
"Both, I'm a guest from afar, sit down and have a sip of tea, Ningbian pour tea!"

"Thank you, Lord Hou, you two are welcome."

After speaking, the two of them took advantage of the opportunity to sit down, picked up the tea bowl and drank it, not to mention that Dawu's tea is really unique, let's have a bowl.

"You two, if you have anything to say, just say it, or are you here to fight?"

Seeing these two guys, Zhang Jinyu couldn't stop drinking two big cups of tea, feeling puzzled and puzzled.

"Forgive me, Lord Hou. It's been a long time since I've had such a good tea. I can't help but drink a few more sips."

Fucha is really a little embarrassed.

"Cough! Master Hou, we are here this time, let's make it clear, we are here to form an alliance!"

He Lianchen stated the purpose of coming here openly,

After Zhang Jinyu heard it, she almost spit out the water she drank from her mouth.
"What, forming an alliance? Did the two of you make a mistake? How many people died today? You formed an alliance in one sentence. What was it before?"

"Master Hou, everything changes with the change of interests. Before, we thought we could win in one day. Didn't it fail? We really want to form an alliance this time and share the Northeast. It's up to you meaning!"

Fu Chazhen also added on the side.

After Zhang Jinyu heard it, she still couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in the Jurchens' gourd, so she simply,
"Then tell me about your conditions, let me see how to form an alliance?"

He Lianchen saw that Lord Hou let go, so he hurriedly put forward the conditions, for fear that Master Hou would go back on his word,
"Lord Hou, this time I really want our two companies to form an alliance. We Dahan promised to give you the complete Pingliao City, and we also hope that our two companies will trade with each other, and we also want to talk about other transactions. For example, Coal, iron, and horses."

He Lianchen clicked directly beside him.

When Zhang Jinyu heard this, she knew that Juzhen really wanted to form an alliance, and gave up Pingliao City, which was the east gate to the Luoyun Plain.

"It seems that you really want to, but how can you be sure that I will agree?"

"My Lord Hou, if you are an ordinary official of Dawu, that's fine. Now that you are a Jiedu envoy, you are considering your own interests. Where can you control others, I will not hide it from you. In the past, our coal and iron supplies were large. Some of them come from Dawu, and no one cares about that."

Fu Cha really saw the needles and actively explained,

"What kind of trading law? These are prohibited items, and it is impossible to trade them directly,"

Zhang Jinyu still wants to hear how to change it, and weigh the pros and cons,
Besides, this great martial artist is almost rotten, hey!But it's time to think about your own future.

"That's easy to say. Find a place to exchange goods and buy and sell common supplies. As for coal, iron, war horses, food, salt, etc., they can be exchanged secretly."

"And this time I came here to tell you that your father, General Zhang, died accidentally. He was accidentally shot by a eagle shooter from our Wuya tribe. You know that it is almost impossible to directly kill the opponent's general on the battlefield. That Wuya tribe The Condor Shooter also died on the battlefield today."

"We really don't know about this matter. In order to express our apology, we are offering 100 million taels of silver as compensation for this alliance."

He Lienchen also directly said everything that could be explained.
