Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 256: Etiquette does not stop mourning
Of course Wang Liang was satisfied with the conditions offered by Murong Jun. He did not ask for excessive prices, but he was also mentally prepared for Murong Jun to bargain.

Therefore, among the two conditions previously proposed, Yao Chang continued to lead the Qiang people. This point was very strict and had no room for negotiation.

After all, in these troubled times, having an army loyal to oneself is the real guarantee for high-ranking officials and good salaries.

As for the second point raised by Wang Liang, which is to provide a place to live, it is more general.

It can be like Shi Hu, who placed Yao Yizhong in Jitou and Fu Hong in Fangtou.

Or just like the conditions given by Murong Jun now, Yao Chang can be appointed as the governor of Qingzhou and become the official of the border.

The reason why Murong Jun was willing to offer such generous conditions was because he was worried that Yao Chang would not do anything and would simply lead the people to Huainan.

Population is definitely more important than land. Otherwise, if you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land; if you save people and lose land, you will gain both people and land.

When Huan Xi and Fu Jian plundered Luoyang's population, they looked down upon Luoyang. Of course, this was also related to Luoyang's awkward geographical location.

Now that the Yan State wants to take over the Central Plains, it must also be worried that Yao Chang will take the people south.

Even if Yao Chang could not take away the people of Yanzhou, but he could only carry the people of Xuzhou across the Huaihe River, which would be a great loss to the Yan State.

However, the exchange of prisoners between the Qiang army and the Han army must wait until Qingzhou is captured.

As for letting Yao Chang contribute, this is also reasonable.

Wang Liang did not reject Murong Jun's proposal. Yao Chang participated in the attack on Qingzhou, not only to compete for himself, but also to receive a letter of nomination.

Of course, after Yao Chang formally surrendered to the Yan State, there would naturally be no mention of Southern Xuzhou, only Xuzhou of the Yan State and Xuzhou of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

After Wang Liang eagerly agreed, all that was left was that some details needed to be perfected. Among them, since Yao Chang was appointed as the Qiang chief, the elite Qiang troops who had been captured by Murong Ke and Murong Chui in the previous battle of Yecheng, You should return it in full.

It would be better to give Yao Chang an offer that he couldn't refuse. Anyway, Qingzhou is still in the hands of Duan Bu Xianbei. This can be regarded as generosity to others.

As long as Yao Chang's surrender is finalized, Murong Jun will immediately take charge. With so many people out on the battlefield, every day is a huge expense.

There are two main reasons. One is that these Qiang army prisoners suffered a major defeat and were captured. They were frightened and could not be used for much purpose in a short period of time.

Secondly, Yao Chang attacked Qingzhou with his remaining 10,000 Qiang cavalry. He also needed Han troops to guard Xuzhou for him, lest Xun Xian, the governor of Southern Xuzhou stationed in Shouchun, take advantage of him.

When the time comes, how much effort will be needed to restore Xuzhou's strength.

To attack Qingzhou, there is no need to use the additional troops brought by Murong Jun from Youzhou. The 50,000 cavalry under Murong Ke are enough.

"Yao Jingmao wants to be the governor of Qingzhou. How can he get something for nothing? He still has 10,000 elite cavalry under his command. When King Taiyuan conquers Duan Gong, he should also contribute."

Wang Liang had no objection to this. Before coming, he had discussed with Yao Chang and both knew that the Han army and the Han refugees who were attached to the Yao family would definitely not be saved.

At that time, Murong Ke will lead the army from Jizhou to the south, and Yao Chang will lead the army from Xuzhou to the north to attack the Qi State. How can Duan Gong be undefeated.

Murong Jun continued:

But similarly, the Han army under Yao Chang's command naturally had to be handed over.

Everything has been settled, and all we have to do is wait for Yao Chang, who is in Pengcheng, to give his approval.

On the same day, Murong Jun held a banquet in Ye Palace and entertained Wang Liang and his party warmly. As for the specific details of the negotiation, they were naturally sent to Pengcheng at high speed.

At the same time, Huan Xi, who was in Yinchuan, also learned about Fu Jianjian's death. The emperor died and the whole country was in mourning. How could such a big thing be hidden?

Hetao, Yinchuan.

Huan Xi looked at the generals present and said calmly:
"News came from Jinyang that Fu Jian died of illness and Prince Fu Sheng ascended the throne."

Everyone looked at each other, but it was hard to say how surprised they were.

It was already known to everyone that Fu Jian had been ill in bed for a long time, but he didn't expect that Huan Xi would summon everyone to talk about this matter.

Hearing this, Deng Xia said excitedly:

"Mr. Liang, Fu Jian is dead. It is a good time to send troops to Yu State. I will invite you to be the vanguard."

Huan Xi had a large number of troops in the Hetao area. In addition to a total of 15,000 elite cavalry from Baibao Xianbei and Guards Yicong, he could also temporarily recruit tens of thousands of Xianbei and Xiongnu archers.

In Deng Xia's view, Fu Sheng was young and could not convince the public. Of course, he inevitably had some thoughts of contempt for Fu Sheng in his heart.

After hearing this, the other generals also asked for battle. After all, for military generals, only on the battlefield can they realize their value, quickly accumulate meritorious service, and seek higher official titles.

Facing the heated scene, Huan Xi shook his head and said:
"If etiquette does not stop mourning, how can I provoke others at this time?"

Deng Xia might believe others' words of etiquette, but he had followed Huan Xi for many years, and Deng Xia still didn't understand his master's temperament.

There must be other reasons for Huan Xi's unwillingness to send troops.

Sure enough, seeing everyone's disbelief, Huan Xi explained:

"When Fu Jian died, he left eight auxiliary ministers for Fu Sheng. As soon as Fu Sheng came to the throne, he couldn't help but kill one of them first. Things happened.
"I have always heard that Fu Sheng was furious and violent, but I never thought that he was killed just because the minister of auxiliary affairs dissuaded him from rushing to change his position.

"Since this new king of Yu State is so cruel, why not just wait for him to bring trouble to the country and turn the government into a mess? When Hu Han in Bingzhou suffers from Fu's unrighteousness, I will blame the people and attack them. How can I not eat the pulp from the pot to welcome Master Liang? Huh?"

As he said this, Huan Xi couldn't help laughing loudly.

Although the Yu State only occupied Bingzhou, its strength was not weak, not to mention the elite Di soldiers and Hedong elites that the Yu State had. At the same time, the Fu family also controlled the Dai State.

At least the three major tribes, Tuoba, Dugu and Bai, were completely controlled by the Fu clan.

Even if the new king takes the throne, Huan Xi cannot launch an attack rashly, otherwise he will be in a bitter battle.

To the east of Bingzhou, there was the State of Yan watching with eager eyes.

Huan Xi didn't want him to fight with Fu Sheng's snipe and clam, and the fisherman would benefit.

Only when Fu Sheng loses all people's hearts will Huan Xi have a chance.

If we send troops at that time, we can easily win the support of the local wealthy families and the six barbarians. They will also be like the rain after a long drought, eager for Huan Xi to send troops to help them overthrow Fu Sheng's rule.

Naturally, it is impossible to form a situation where the snipe and the clam are fighting. Only the Yan State can enter the country in advance to be able to save the Yu State. It is destined not to be a profitable fisherman.

When the generals heard this, they all nodded and said yes.
