Kai Fu Han

Chapter 543 Peace Talk
April [-]th, Penglai Port.

After three consecutive years of expansion, the total length of Penglai Port has exceeded twenty miles. It is full of masts and sails covering the sea all day long.

Up to now, Penglai has become the most prosperous port in Jiangbei and a material circulation hub within a thousand miles of Penglai Port.

Liu Xinqi's boat finally landed smoothly after waiting in line for half an hour.

When I got ashore, I saw Gao Yuan seeing off the Third Fleet.

The departure of the Third Fleet represents the resumption of large-scale trade between Han, Goryeo, and Japan, which has been stagnant for more than two months.

Liu Xinqi, who was not in a hurry to go home, walked over casually.

When Gao Yuan saw Liu Xinqi coming over, he quickly handed over the matters at hand to his deputy and freed himself: "Leader!"

"You are busy with your business." Liu Xin said that Gao Yuan did not need to receive him.

"I'm already very skilled at these tasks. I don't need to do them myself. I just need to keep an eye on them." Gao Yuan replied.

"How is the construction progress of the Twin Cities?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"The progress is slow. The winter in Nahe County is much longer than that in Jingdong. It is not completely thawed until the end of January. Large-scale construction started in February. The city wall is still under construction. Only a few buildings have been built in the city. The main official office." Gao Yuan introduced.

"Is anyone coming to cause trouble?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Not yet, mainly because the news about the silver mine has not been exposed yet." Gao Yuan replied.

In this way, the manpower invested in the Japanese country is still not available, and the Japanese country cannot help the Xinghan Alliance. It can only be regarded as the early investment stage.

Cui Wu's first brigade cannot be transferred back before the local forces of Japan counterattack.

Putting aside his thoughts about Japan, Liu Xinqi invited Gao Yuan: "The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin is in the city. Do you want to go with him to meet him?"

Gao Yuan was a little moved, but he turned around and looked at the Third Fleet that was preparing at the port, and suppressed the move.

"The scale of the Third Fleet this time is very large. The total number of ships exceeds two hundred. I have to keep an eye on it."

"How much longer do you need?" Liu Xinqi knew that as the Minister of the Navy, Gao Yuan would not easily follow the fleet out, so as long as the fleet leaves the port, Gao Yuan is done.

Naturally, the fleet captain is responsible for the fleet's affairs at sea.

"At least two hours."

Liu Xinqi looked at the sky and saw that it would be dark in two hours.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a good time to wait for the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin. You go about your business, and we'll see them tomorrow."

……

On April 21, Liu Xinqi kept the Jin envoy in the air for most of the day.

After lunch, I waited for a while before someone brought the envoy to see me.

The envoy came up and said hello, and then wanted to redeem the people: "Our country is willing to redeem Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongjun."

"Haha!" Liu Xinqi responded with a sneer.

Still "willing"!It's as if Xinghan League is asking you to take it back.

Seeing the leader of the Xinghan League sneer, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin quickly put away his little tricks and sincerely asked the Xinghan League to release the two princes, because the Kingdom of Jin paid a heavy price for this.

"Is there internal chaos in the Jin Kingdom? There is a dispute among the various forces? Wanyan Aguda's sons died too many, so which group of forces is unwilling?" Liu Xinqi guessed.

The messenger's face became a little stiff, not sure if it was because Liu Xinqi was right.

"The Kingdom of Jin is willing to pay the price for this..." "Stop! Needless to say, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongjun will definitely not let you redeem them. After you go back, you can directly ask your king to hold funerals for these princes. .”

Liu Xinqi's attitude is very firm.

The two Wanyan are able to survive until now only because the war on the northern front is not over yet.

As soon as the war is over and the celebration party is held, the next step will be to mourn the soldiers who died in the battle. At that time, it will be the death of the two Wanyan.

"Already ask the leader to think more about it..."

"Our Xinghan League is not Southern Zhao. Is this why you came here today? If this is the only thing, then you can go back." Liu Xinqi interrupted the envoy again.

"One more thing." Seeing that Liu Xinqi really did not intend to reconcile, the envoy quickly returned to the topic: "I am going south this time mainly to beg for peace with your country on behalf of our Emperor Wanyan Wu of the Jin Kingdom."

Wanyan Wu Qimai is Wanyan Sheng's real name.

"Tell me about the terms of your peace talks." Although a decision has been made, Liu Xinqi still intends to hear how Jin Guo intends to negotiate peace talks.

In addition to Liu Xinqi, there were also Zhao Liang, Luo Cheng, Lu Ren and Xu Zhong in the lobby, all showing a hint of interest.

This was the first time since Zhao that the Han people forced a foreign nation to actively seek peace.

Milestone!

"We are willing to cede Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road to your country, and we sincerely ask your country to stop its troops."

"Hahahahaha! Your Jin Kingdom is really well-calculated." Liu Xinqi was amused.

At this time, Jin Guo still planned to be clever.

"Please speak clearly, leader." The envoy respectfully requested.

"Then let me explain it to you." Liu Xinqi straightened his expression: "The Zhao State and the Jin State allied to destroy the Liao Dynasty. The land of Hebei originally belonged to the Zhao State. In the end, your Jin State betrayed your faith and went south to attack Zhao, supporting the puppet emperor Liu Yu. , and assigned Hebei to the Puppet Qi."

"Not to mention other things, according to the established facts, Hebei is also a pseudo-Qi, so why do you, the Jin Kingdom, be so generous to others?"

The messenger was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.

Outsiders can say that Puppet Qi is a puppet, but the Jin Kingdom cannot say that to the outside world.

"What conditions does the leader have? Feel free to mention them." The messenger tried to change the subject.

Liu Xinqi had a bad taste and planned to tease the messenger.

"If you are willing to cede all the land south of Xijing Road, Beijing Road, Tokyo Road and San Road to the Xinghan League, I would be interested in peace talks with you."

The messenger stopped with the condition of a lion opening his mouth and was dumbfounded.

"how can that be!"

"How is it impossible? The territory left for you is much larger than before the attack on Liao." Liu Xin said.

Before the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, the territory of the Jin Kingdom was only a piece of land in the Wusuli River Valley. At that time, it could only be regarded as a tribe. Only after inheriting the land of the Liao Kingdom, could it be qualified to be called emperor.

"This is definitely impossible." How dare the envoy agree to such horrific conditions.

If the land to the south of Zhongjing Road [-]rd Road were really given to the Xinghan League, the Jin Kingdom would have wasted its efforts in the past few decades.

"Nothing is impossible. Our Xinghan League troops have now occupied Zhongdu Road, Beijing Road and Tokyo Road. Xijing Road is within reach. If you, the Jin Kingdom, don't give it to us, we can take it ourselves." Liu Xinqi looked coldly, The words are colder when spoken.

The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin was already confused. Before he came, he considered that the Xinghan League would be in trouble, but he did not consider that the Xinghan League would be so tough.
