The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 866 Summation, Land Divide (Subscribe)
"Your Majesty, please make peace."

The Prime Minister of Baekje came out, and what he said was a sentence that disappointed Baekje King Fu Yuxie.

But seeing that the civil and military forces of the whole court were silent, Fu Yuxie suppressed his anger and said: "Could it be that the Baekje Kingdom can't deal with the Han and Song armies that labored on expeditions? And the Silla that was only worthy of following behind us in the past? "

Ji Le cupped his hands with a bit of sadness: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Goryeo has begun to gather troops and horses in Kaesong."

Fu Yuxie listened, but hope rose in his heart: "The Koryo army has arrived in Linjin Jiangbei? Why don't you quickly invite the Koryo army to go south, even if I, Baekje, pay for the army's expedition food, there is no problem, as long as the Koryo army arrives , working together can always turn the tide.”

A wry smile gradually covered Jianle's old face, and he shook his head immediately: "Your Majesty, who is the leading general of Koryo this time?"

"Could it be that there are other famous generals besides General Yuan in Goryeo?"

"No, the person here is the royal family of Goryeo, the younger brother of the King of Goryeo, Wang Yun."

"It's not General Yuan?"

When Fu Yuxie heard it, he felt incredible at first, and then realized that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, his facial expression became the same as Ji Le's.

As the king of Baekje, although the national power is inferior to Goryeo, Fu Yuxie still knows Goryeo very well.According to past habits, the Yuan family, who has been in general and prime minister, will definitely not give up the military power, as long as it sends troops, it must be led by the Yuan family.

There is only one explanation for Goryeo's coaching change now.

The status of the Yuan family is lost.

The king of Koryo touched Yuan's family at this sensitive moment, can he still count on them to save him?

No matter how naive, Fu Yuxie dare not think so.

The so-called hope is as great as the disappointment. Fu Yuxie doesn't even have the strength to get angry now, only a deep sigh: "So, Goryeo will take advantage of my crisis to attack the northern border?"

"Goryeo is trying to choose an opportunity to move. If the king has no decision, Baekje will face attack from all sides." Although these words are helpless, as the prime minister, at least he has come up with a way to quell the war.

Even if, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

"Is that true?"

At this time, the King of Baekje gritted his teeth with difficulty and asked back. After Ji Le nodded heavily, Fu Yuxie said silently: "Let's negotiate a peace. The prime minister has the full power to handle this matter for me. I am lonely. I will report when I have a conclusion."

.........

Just when Mo Xiaobai, Cao Yi, and Zhou Hun led the fleet down the coast and arrived at the coastal port of Luozhou, they just received the news from the guard in black.

The court of Baekje Kingdom officially sent envoys to Han, Song and Silla.

The purpose is clear.

Stop fighting, negotiate a peace!

"We came just in time."

As soon as he got off the boat, Mo Xiaobai looked at Zhou Hun beside him: "It seems that your lord is busy again, but this time there should be no danger, and instead he will become the guest of honor of the officials of Baekje."

Zhou Hun shook his head weakly, still feeling a little lingering in his heart: "Thanks to Earl Hong Fu, the old man's life was finally saved."

"You can't say that, it's all about the bravery of the soldiers, otherwise you and I wouldn't be able to leave Korea alive." Mo Xiaobai waved his hands as he said.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Cao Yi couldn't stand it anymore: "It's very boring for you two to brag like this. Why don't you follow me into the city. You have been running around these days without a serious rest. Today you must have a good time in the city." Have some fun."

Mo Xiaobai did not refuse: "Okay, now the entire Luozhou belongs to Song Dynasty, so it is naturally up to your arrangement."

After a whole night of indulgent singing and dancing, eating and drinking, Mo Xiaobai and Zhou Hun set off again.

While notifying the soldiers of Dream City to retreat from the Chanjin River, they must also go to Guangzhou with Zhou Hun.

When they arrived in Gwangju, the envoys from both sides met for the first time, and the negotiations began.

Sitting at the negotiating table, although Mo Xiaobai is not the minister of Honglu Temple, as the leader of the coalition this time, his status is actually higher than Zhou Hun.

But on the first day of negotiations, Mo Xiaobai was a quiet listener all day.

On the second day, the negotiation entered the substantive content.

As the Baekje envoy made the first request, Mo Xiaobai tapped on the desk with his right index finger: "Want to use money to redeem Gwangju? This plan is not impossible, but how much can you Baekje offer? "

This mission, everyone in Baekje knew that it was not an easy job, so they pushed back and forth and finally fell on the Mu family, the weakest of the eight major clans in Baekje.

As soon as Mo Xiaobai spoke, Mu Shazhi, who served as the negotiating envoy, immediately asked: "The Earl thinks this method is feasible, why don't you say a price?"

"Then, [-] million gold."

"One... billion?" Mu Shazhi was stunned for a long time before he figured out the value, but then his whole face turned red: "Is what the count said too childish?"

"One state is enough to support tens of millions of people. Tens of millions of people can reproduce one generation every 20 years. I only count five generations, that is, at least 5000 million people will live and work in peace and contentment in a piece of land in a hundred years. They will live and die. If each person pays only one gold tax for the big man in his life, it will be 5000 million gold, and two gold for one person will be [-] million."

Mo Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and said lightly, and then smiled: "If I calculate this way, does your envoy think it's too much?"

Mu Shazhi instinctively felt that such a calculation must be wrong, but for a while he couldn't find anything wrong.First, this amount is too unfamiliar to him, and second, he has never been in charge of the taxation of a country or a city.

Mo Xiaobai just bullied him as a layman, and continued: "Since there is no objection, then let's do it this way. You go back and tell your king, and say that if you take out [-] million gold, this city will be returned to you immediately."

go back?Tell the king?
The corners of Mu Shazhi's eyes twitched. If he agreed to this kind of thing, he might be demoted to a commoner before he even saw the king after returning.

Knowing that continuing to fight with Mo Xiaobai would be fruitless, Mu Shazhi said with a serious face, "Don't be joking, Earl. Although I lost Baekje for a while, the main force of [-] troops is still there. Not everyone can bully me." .”

"Then there's no need to talk about it. Let's see you on the battlefield." Mo Xiaobai also responded with a cold face, and made a gesture to get up and leave.

"This is just a conversation, how can we break it up? Sit down, sit down."

At this time, Zhou Hun sang red-faced, and smoothed things over with a smile: "Since everyone is willing to negotiate a peace, there will be a way to negotiate, and I am not greedy for anything else. The current land must belong to the big man, and the rest can be discussed."

"My lord is referring to this city?"

"It's not an isolated city, but it is bounded by the Chanjin River. The north of the river belongs to Baekje, and the south of the river belongs to Dahan."

As soon as Zhou Hun opened his mouth, Mu Sha became very angry again.

But who told Baekje to be in danger right now, and he couldn't let it go everywhere even though he was angry.

However, Mo Xiaobai wanted to add fuel to the fire, and continued to add conditions: "I will add one more thing. At present, most of the islands in the south of Baekje have also been wiped out by my navy, and those islands should also belong to me."

Mu Sha gritted his teeth angrily: "Count, you are robbing!"

"If I don't rob, can Baekje survive?" Mo Xiaobai mockingly asked, if Baekje could defend, how could Liu Rengui and Gan Ning take down the archipelago so easily.

"These are the conditions. If you agree, continue talking. If you don't agree, don't waste everyone's time."
