Chapter 563: Negotiating Conditions for Peaceful Reunification 1
In the corner of the banquet, there were actually two envoys from Hanzhong and Xichuan. One of them looked a little sleazy, but he was Zhang Song, Liu Zhang's most effective subordinate, and the other was quite handsome, but that was Zhang Lu. The most trusted subordinate Yan Pu.
The two of them have lived in the post house in Lujiang City for more than a month. To be honest, they have no confidence in this negotiation, and they have even started sending letters back to persuade their lord.
What Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu wanted was to split the earth and seal the king, but this was already impossible. The current Xuzhou new army has completely pacified the chaos in Jingzhou of Eastern Wu, and wiped out the three major forces of Cao Yuan and Ma in one fell swoop. Gongsun Du is only on one's last legs.
Lv Bu's **** of the world is already an unstoppable trend. If the Liu-Zhang alliance still wants to resist, it can only increase the killings, and eventually it will be the fate of being exterminated. The condition given by Chen Gong was that both Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu could become a local high-ranking official like Liu Biao, and could hold a generous salary, but the military and political power of the Han Dynasty in Yizhou had to be handed over.
As messengers, both of them are very incompetent. After seeing the prosperity of Lujiang City and the prosperity of the people, they began to persuade their lords to give up the insistence on the king of splitting the land. They listed countless reasons, and greatly It exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou new army, hoping to bring about peace as soon as possible.
In fact, they only think that they are exaggerating the battle of the Xuzhou new army. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou new army is much stronger than they imagined. What they boast is nothing more than the fact that the Xuzhou new army has more than one million soldiers and thousands of generals. There are countless food and grass equipment, etc. In fact, Li Yunfei's strength is several times stronger than they imagined.
Although they were a bit disloyal as messengers, they were quite competent as descendants of Yan and Huang. Those who worked hard to reduce killings and for peaceful reunification were all worthy of respect, so they were specially invited to this banquet.
In fact, Li Yunfei was very curious about that Zhang Lu. To be precise, he was curious about his preaching school. His grandfather was the famous Zhang Daoling Zhang Tianshi, a man who lived for more than 100 years. According to legend, he was a very powerful person.
If it is just pure history, there may be no magical Taoism, but this parallel time and space obviously has some Taoism, and the battle armor he wears is a good proof.
In other words, to unify the whole country, it really needs to be done in one go, so as not to be delayed by other things and really make them split. According to the news from the espionage personnel, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu also followed suit and began to implement the New Deal, treating the people kindly, which was very popular. If they are allowed to operate for a few more years, the people of Xichuan Hanzhong will be completely taken away by them.
At that time, if the war starts again, I will become an invader. Even if I do forcefully capture Xichuan Hanzhong, many people will die, so I must not delay the time. Therefore, after the banquet, I went directly to Chen Gong's mansion. explain the situation.
"...Can Your Majesty go back?" Thirty-nine, who had been with Li Yunfei all the time, hesitated for a long time and finally asked. He was only responsible for the safety of Li Yunfei when he was fighting abroad. In fact, now he is a general, not just a general. guard.
"Of course you can, go and find your little lover. If there's something wrong, I'll send someone over to pass on you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will retire then!"
"Go, go, show off well, you are now a middle-ranking general, a good official!" Li Yunfei joked.
"Follow the decree, the last commander must show off well!" Speaking of Zhonglang General Thirty-nine, he was also quite excited. After following Li Yunfei for a few months, he made a lot of credit when attacking Peiping, so he did it directly this time. general.
...
Chen Gong's house in Lujiang City is next to the office building, and you can easily walk there. Since the area of the city is not very large and the land is very expensive, Chen Gong's house is not very large, and he wants a luxury manor or something. It's easy to make one by yourself outside the city.
Because he had already received the pass, Li Yunfei only arrived at the door of Chen Gong's house, and saw him hurriedly brought two concubines and some servants to greet the holy car.
I was just stunned when I saw that Chen Gong also married two beautiful concubines. It seemed that he was a man. .
The current Chen Gong is a big man under one person and more than ten thousand people. If he wants to marry a wife and take a concubine, he only needs to say a word, and there will naturally be countless beauties who will take the initiative to send him...
"Welcome Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!" The ancients were indeed a little strange. Once they became emperor, their attitude seemed to change completely, as if there was a switch. In the past, Chen Gong was a little respectful at best, but now it is not respectful.
"Hurry up and invite the public platform, it's all from your own family, you don't need to see outsiders like this, everyone get up!" Li Yunfei hurriedly helped people up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty... If you don't dislike it, please come in and serve tea, but the messenger Zhang Song gave Xiaguan five catties of tea that is said to be from Mount Emei in Xichuan."
"Of course I don't dislike it, go and try it!" Li Yunfei was not polite at all, and took the lead in walking, Chen Gong hurriedly asked someone to make tea.
It is said that drinking tea was not popular during the Three Kingdoms period. At this time, people liked drinking more, and cooking wine is a hero. Just because Li Yunfei likes to drink tea, he took a lot of thought to get some wild tea to drink, and gradually spread, so this drink quickly became a drink that celebrities flock to, and now tea is popular. The venues are basically near Sichuan, so Liu Zhang was inadvertently loaded with a lot of money.
...
"I don't know why Your Majesty came here today?" Seeing Li Yunfei sipping tea leisurely, the pot of tea was almost finished, and it was getting dark, Chen Gong simply asked.
"Well, it's about Xichuan Hanzhong... As for Zhang Lu, we can officially recognize his name as a celestial master, and we can recognize that his family's Zhengdao is the legal religion in China, and we can legally preach within the scope of supervision. As for Liu Zhang We can also give him the title of a duke, which can be inherited for three generations, but only the salary of the duke, not the fief of the duke. We need them to give an answer before the end of the year, otherwise we will directly let Gao Shun send troops to make more money in the spring of next year. Military merit!" Li Yunfei said his thoughts directly.
"...In this case, wouldn't Liu Zhang be treated with Liu Synergy?"
"Well, that's true, or give him a second-class duke, one level lower than the first-class duke, and give him the qualifications to participate in politics!"
"It's so good, Wei Chen can definitely negotiate things a few years ago!" Chen Gong is quite sure of the negotiation. Now that the north has been completely settled, Li Yunfei's return has given him more confidence.
"Then it will be hard work and Zhuge Liang and Hu will come back after a while, bringing back more than 200,000 prisoners, so the food and grass at the stations along the way must be prepared. Now, even if you are a prisoner, you can't let people go on their way hungry."
"Understood, this matter has been prepared properly, and the food and grass have been mobilized in various places... It's just that most of the captives who came back this time are orphans and widows. How does Your Majesty plan to arrange it?"
"I will try my best to open more textile factories, garment factories, etc. that recruit female workers in the military colonies, steel mills, and mines, and try my best to give them jobs. Maybe those women can also have a good home! "
"...His Majesty's thought is really thoughtful, but it has solved many problems since then."
"Well, it's getting late, so I'll go back first!" Now that the tea was finished and everything was explained, of course, she was going to go back to Diaochan earlier, thinking that she was in a hurry.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Chen Gong saluted.
"Don't be so polite, let's go!" Li Yunfei waved his hand and left immediately, much to the surprise of Chen Gong's two concubines and those servants. The emperor is not very particular about pomp and circumstance. Is it right to carry the individual around?
