Chapter 562: Bargaining
Cheng Qun wanted to see Yun Zhao, but Yun Zhao had already returned to Xingling. In the south of the Yangtze River, Cheng Qun believed that he was not qualified to negotiate with him at all. After several days of streets, Qin Yiliang Pu Sizhou was established.
Yao Changkun and his deputy Wang Gui rushed to Fukang from Yizhou. Yao Changkun, as the highest-ranking minister under the Governor's Office in the North, came to serve as Cheng Qun's negotiator.
In order to express respect for Cheng Qun, Yao Changkun set the negotiation location at Cheng Qun's Cuiping Mountain Camp. Liu Huajian was arrested for ten days. After six days of sudden changes in Jingzhou Navy, Cheng Qun finally pushed the Northern Army behind these matters.
The senior executives sat together.
The other protagonist of this incident, Hongniang's Bailian Army, has been taken aside by both sides. Both Cheng Qun and Yao Changkun, both believed that the Bailian Army was not qualified to sit among them in this negotiation.
"General Cheng, we meet again." Yao Changkun clasped his fists and bowed to the ground.
Cheng Qun's face was filial. He hadn't had a good sleep these days. The main force of a battalion of the Northern Army suddenly crossed the river. In the unexpected situation, he actually lost his general Liu Huajian.
,There were another wave of accidents in the capture of Ji Wujiu's family. Ji Wuliang led dozens of five-masted warships to collude with the Northern Army in Cangjiang, and defeated the entire army, who was going to encircle and suppress him.
Only for self-isolation.
Cangjiang no longer belongs to him Cheng Qun. From then on, he will share the natural danger of Cangjiang with Yun Zhao. The attempt of the powerful Northern Expedition Army to cross the river is completely defeated, and what makes him even more worried is that
According to Li Hongchao's description after he fled back, the Northern Army had already made breakthrough developments in the naval ship-borne weapons. At present, the Jingzhou navy seems to have the upper hand in number, but in fact, the two sides confronted each other, the Jingzhou navy was in trouble.
It's not a slight advantage. And this is the Northern Army
The navy was just taking shape. As time went by, the navy of the Northern Army would become stronger and stronger until it completely overwhelmed the Jingzhou navy. Ji Wuliang's defection was fatal, and he took away more than dozens of them.
The warships, as well as thousands of elite trained sailors, will become the foundation for the powerful navy of the Northern Army. Cheng Qun has no doubt that with Yun Zhao's skills, it will not take long to make a lot of calculations.
These sailors will completely become the most loyal subordinates of the Northern Expedition Army.
Holding his fists and arched, Cheng Qun said lightly: "I have been missing General Yao for a long time, and things are unpredictable. Last time we fought side by side, drinking and saying goodbye, and said goodbye. In less than a year, both sides actually met. I just want to
Ask me, what exactly Yun Zhao wants to do?
Yao Changkun stared at the other party's blue-white face, and suddenly felt a faint pity for him in his heart. Perhaps when he told him to unite with Congliang Su Can, the other party did not have so many ideas, but when he took that step,
He had no choice but to go to another direction step by step, and that direction might not be what the other party wanted to go, but the form no longer allowed him to turn back. When the three parties jointly defeated the Mongolian army, it had already
Cheng Qun is destined to have a strong army and strive to protect himself.
When Cheng Qun completed this step, the next move came naturally. His conflict with the Northern Army was inevitable.
"General Cheng, this sentence is supposed to be asked by my governor. What do you want to do?"
"As the imperial court, I am an official, to wipe out the White Lotus bandits who were in chaos for the court. Yun Zhao, as the general of the imperial court and the governor of the North, sent troops to aid the bandits and bandits. He also asked me what I wanted to do, would this bandit army be you?
The governor of the family was not upheld," Cheng Qun sneered.
Yao Changkun laughed, "Dare you ask General Cheng, the urgent task of the court today is to rebel in the Fourth Master, and to bring disaster to the south. The Fourth Master's generals went straight to the middle of the army and threatened the capital, or was it a mere White Lotus bandit who caused disaster to
What about the northwest?”
Looking straight into Cheng Qun's eyes, "With General Cheng's wisdom, how could he not know which one is more important? The general regarded himself as an official in the court, but abandoned the capital and was anxious to mobilize heavy troops to the northwest without regard, and did not know what the meaning was."
"I have my own plans, how can you understand the arrangement of this general?" Cheng Qun looked up at the sky and hummed.
Yao Changkun smiled and said, "If I don't understand the arrangement of the general, why did my Northern Army cross the river? General, everyone is ringing drums and not having to beat them. The blind man eats the dumplings, and he knows it. I'm here today, not
I am here to argue with the general. I am very busy in Qin Yiliang Pu, and I believe the general is also full of things. Now I am afraid that I am also thinking about how to withdraw in time. Why don’t we sit down and have a calm conversation
, find a plan that both parties can accept”
A deep look at Yao Changkun, and Cheng Qun's sleeves flicked, "Please"
In the big tent, one left and one right, there was a big case among the two chairs. Yao Changkun came on behalf of Yun Zhao, so he was naturally qualified to be on an equal footing with Cheng Qun.
"Liu Huajian must return it to me in full." Cheng Qun made it straight to the point, "If he had any accidents, I can guarantee that Hong Niang will definitely not be able to get down to Cuiping Mountain."
"General Liu Huajian was also our comrade-in-arms who fought against Mongolia together back then. Now he is a guest at our place, how can we make things difficult for him?" Yao Changkun smiled and said, "Although General Cheng is relieved, General Liu is very comfortable in Fukang, we are all good at it.
General Feng often invites him to drink and talk, maybe he will become friends now. When General Liu comes back, General Cheng will feel relieved. He has gained weight hahaha.”
Cheng Qun was slightly stunned.
"We will return not only General Liu Huajian, but also General Tu'an, who was captured with General Liu Huajian, as well as about 1,500 soldiers and 2,000 wounded soldiers. We will all return the wounded soldiers, and we will cure them all.
Only many of them were seriously injured soldiers, and disability was inevitable. We deeply regret this," said Yao Changkun.
Eight thousand soldiers, Cheng Qun's heart was bleeding, and only more than 3,000 people could come back. The return of those wounded soldiers, especially the seriously injured, would undoubtedly greatly damage their morale, but he could not refuse to accept it.
If I were ruthless and did not want these wounded soldiers, I was afraid that the army would have a sharp drop in morale. The battle of the Northern Army was extremely vicious, but the mute ate Coptis chinensis. Knowing that it was a bowl of poisonous wine, I could only pinch my nose.
After drinking, and after these wounded soldiers come back, they must give them better care and higher pensions to make the soldiers return.
"We guarantee General Liu Huajian's return safely. Correspondingly, the Hongniangzi's troops on Cuiping Mountain must also return to Fukang safely."
"Of course," Cheng Qun said: "But you have to let General Liu go first."
"Okay, let us release General Liu and two thousand wounded soldiers first, and then you release Hongniangzi's troops on Cuiping Mountain, and then we release General Tu'an and 1,500 captured soldiers. This should be a reasonable plan." Yao Changkun
A method of exchange was proposed.
"I have no objection." Cheng Qun let out a breath. For him, the Hong Niangzi's arm was a thorn in his throat. If he couldn't eat it, he would vomit it out early, which would make him more comfortable.
Cheng Qun proposed something more critical and substantial.
"We will withdraw from Fukang and return Fukang to General Cheng, and Bailian Army will return to Ganzhou, but our Northern Army will retain Xingyi County as our garrison." Yao Changkun smiled and said: "The Northern Army is coming from afar, if nothing is left
The governor is not willing to explain to his subordinates.”
"This is impossible" Cheng Qun slapped the table, "The Northern Army cannot leave a step and a soldier in Xiangzhou."
"If the Northern Expedition Army cannot leave one step at a time in Xiangzhou, then General Cheng cannot leave one step at a time in Xiangzhou. I want to know if General Cheng's guards leave, can the Xiangzhou Town Army block his mouth?
The wife's White Lotus Sect Army made a comeback." Yao Changkun did not let him go and said tit-for-tat.
"The Hongniang is also part of your Northern Expedition Army"
"No, the White Lotus Army is the White Lotus Army, and the Northern Envoy is the Northern Envoy Army. I will not hide it from General Cheng. The reason why our Northern Envoy Army is to help is entirely because of the personal relationship between the leader of the White Lotus Army, Hong Niangzi, and my governor." He lowered his slander.
He finished his voice and said, "Mr. Hong is the woman of my governor, but the White Lotus Sect is indeed not part of my Northern Army."
Yao Changkun's expression was a little ambiguous.
Cheng Qun was furious, and he really called a bitch who wanted to set up a archway. He was still behaved when he got the advantage. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You Bei Army should not do anything and leave everything on the line, and then
Good to meet"
Yao Changkun sneered, "When General Cheng retreated from Qin Yiliang Pu, he emptyed the treasury and moved the wealthy households, leaving me a huge mess of the Northern Army, and millions of hungry people who were hungry, have you ever thought about it
Stay at the forefront of everything, and we will meet each other in the future." Yao Changkun also stood up: "The general is the first day of the first day, and my army in the Northern Expedition will naturally be the fifth day of the first day."
The two of them looked like cockfighting, staring at each other for a while, and then let out a long breath and slowly sat down. Both of them were people with identities, so they would not curse or speak ill of each other.
"Yun Zhao is so arrogant, aren't he afraid that I will burn my boats and fight to break Liu Huajian and annihilate the Red Lady on Cuiping Mountain?" Cheng Qun said slowly: "In the Central Plains, I don't have only one way to go."
Yao Changkun smiled and said, "General Cheng has hundreds of thousands of troops. Jingzhou and Jiangzhou are extremely rich, so there are naturally many choices. However, I remind General Cheng that Cuiping Mountain cannot be defeated just by wanting to fight. I will conquer the Northern Army.
In a while, we can mobilize a large army and lead the troops to the south. I think General Cheng already knows the existence of the Navy of the Northern Army. When I came to Fukang, I just learned that General Ji Wuliang led a large number of warships to join me.
The Northern Army is here”
"If Yun Zhao dares to come, he is not afraid of being deceived and cheating his nest."
"It's okay, the Meng people are in chaos, and Barutu and Uliqi are fighting in a mess. The Meng people are not willing to take care of themselves. They want us to go further and better so that we won't provoke us, but for us
Words are just postponing the plan to conquer the Mongolians for several years,” Yao Changkun said.
"You have taken advantage of it. Since that's the case, it's better not to talk about it," said Cheng Qun.
"The Northern Army promised that within two years, the Northern Army would not leave Xingyi County, and the White Lotus Army would not enter Xiangzhou for two years. If General Cheng could not solve his own problems,
Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Two years" Cheng Qun sucked a cold air: "Yun Zhao was so sure that he would conquer the Mongolians within two years."
Chapter completed!
