After a day's absence, both sides of the negotiation made some preparations, and once again came to the pavilion on the lonely mountain, where the second round of confrontation began. This time, the two sides no longer do too much entanglement, and they all cut straight to the topic.

After taking his seat, Lian Xixian waited until the waiter serving tea had just withdrawn, and then gave the deputy envoy Chai Zizhi on the side a look, who stood up knowingly, took out a few pages from his sleeve, and arched his hand in the direction of the Song envoy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the two countries have discussed a boycott of troops, can you report to us the number of soldiers who fell into your situation in the last war? I'll wait for some comparison before I can decide. ”

This request came a little abruptly but it was reasonable, Chen Jingxing and Wang Yinglin whispered a few words, the last time he had comforted Jiangnan together, brought back detailed results, and made preparations before the negotiation, a subordinate official took out a volume of albums and handed it to him behind him after receiving his signal.

originally wanted to hand it over to Wang Yinglin, but accidentally saw Liu Yu leisurely drinking tea and watching a play there, Chen Jingxing thought about it and asked someone to pass it on. In any case, Liu Yu is also a member of the cardinal, and it is better for him to do this kind of military matter.

"Hmm." Suddenly stuffed by a subordinate officer, Liu Yu opened it in surprise and looked at it, which densely recorded the results of the Jiankang war, listed beheadings, captures, and captures in categories, and there were also the seals and signatures of the verification officials below.

"Since you asked, let the official talk about it." After understanding what was going on, he got up and glanced at the numbers on it, and then said aloud.

"Since your army left Jiankang Mansion, after our military count, a total of 47,351 people from various departments were captured, of which more than 23,000 were wounded and more than 1,900 were seriously injured. A few days ago, the epidemic was raging, and the news came back from Jiangnan that there were about 5,000 people who died, and more than 10,000 people who fell ill, and now there should be about 30,000 people who are intact. ”

Of course, the last paragraph is not in the book, but the part that he sent to Qiongzhou, the first batch of more than 3,000 people has arrived, and the latter ones are still outside Jiankang City, these people have been detained by Liu Yu, and they are not afraid of them to verify.

This is the first time that Lian Xixian and others have obtained a detailed damage figure, if the battle dead are included, the loss of this battle is 80,000 to 100,000, which can be said to be a big loss. Chai Zizhi listened to the figures he reported, probably estimated them in her heart, then picked up the notes and put them on the paper, and handed the paper to Lian Xixian.

Liu Yu keenly observed that the moment he saw that number, a complicated look flashed in Lian Xixian's eyes, like regret, regret, anger, and incomprehension, and finally his pupils shrank, and his whole face became fierce, and it only lasted for a while, and then he returned to normal.

"We will send someone to check the amount reported by your envoy, and I ask you to agree to this. Of course, before the result comes back, for the time being, we will continue to discuss, if there is a big discrepancy, we will deal with it in the future, so okay? ”

It will take several days to go back and forth from here to Jiankang City, and it is also the right thing for them to mention yì, of course Chen Jingxing will not object, the two sides have briefly discussed this matter and decided on it, and the Song people will accompany them to send people to Jiankang City to be responsible for customs clearance and other matters.

As for whether these people really went to check on the captives or had other thoughts, it is unknown, of course Liu Yu knew that they were thieves and immortal, and finally had a righteous and bright reason, but what else did Jiankang City have now? I'm afraid that I won't be too disappointed when the time comes.

"I heard that some of our generals and colonels are still being held in Lin'an City, and after so long, I don't know if they are okay, so I hope that it will be convenient for us to allow us to visit."

"Well, the envoy has no right to call the shots, and he has to ask the court, if he agrees, he will naturally inform you."

Chen Jingxing habitually played a Tai Chi, Lian Xixian didn't care, those talents are his main target, whether it is the Han army or the Mongols, as long as it is a thousand-level general, there is a force behind it, of course the Song people also understand this truth, strange goods can live, he knows that speed is not enough to reach this truth.

"Ahem." Yuan Ren seemed to have finished making a request, and for a while the scene was a little cold, Wang Yinglin waited for a while and didn't see them speak, so he stood up.

"I will do our best to meet your request, but the courtesy is still exchanged, and those state capitals that are still in your hands will not set a time limit so that the two sides can hand them over?"

As soon as he heard his words, there was a commotion on the Yuanren's side, and Chai Zizhi just wanted to stand up and refute, but was stopped by Lian Xixian with a look. The latter looked at Wang Yinglin, and waved his hand neatly, so that the people behind him were quiet.

"But I wonder which state capitals this gentleman is talking about?"

"Chizhou, Jiangzhou, Nankangjun, Qizhou, Huangzhou, Ezhou, Yingzhou, as well as Suizhou, De'anfu, Xinyangjun, Haizhou, Andong Prefecture and other places along the Yangtze River."

Wang Yinglin obviously did his homework in advance, he didn't need to look at anything at all, he recited it with one mouth, it wasn't that he didn't know, he was shocked, it turned out that there were so many places in the hands of the Yuan people. Liu Yu knew that he hadn't finished speaking, and the area around Jiading Mansion in Shu was also lost at the beginning of the year, so he didn't know why he didn't mention it.

"Mr. Wang is finished? You seem to have forgotten, there are also Xiangyang Mansion, Fangzhou, Junzhou, and Guanghua Army, by the way, your country lost Bianliang more than a hundred years ago, do you want to return it to you together? Three hundred years ago, what was the name of the capital city of our country? Yanjing, isn't it also your country that keeps saying that it wants to be recovered? ”

"You"

When Wang Yinglin heard these words, he didn't know whether he was angry or excited, and pointed at Lian Xixian who couldn't speak for a long time, only hated that he didn't learn a few scolding slang words on weekdays, and he couldn't think of a word to refute it.

"Bohou, you sit down first." Seeing his expression, Chen Jingxing said a word, and Wang Yinglin sat back indignantly, his face was swollen and red, and he couldn't hold back after drinking a few sips of tea.

"Your envoy's words are wrong, since it is a peace discussion, before the war, you and I took the Han River as the boundary, and now the war is going to end, and you still don't leave according to our land, this can't be said anyway."

"We came with great sincerity, and most of the places Mr. Wang said took the initiative to belong to us, and their hearts are towards us, and our dynasty will naturally not give up lightly. As I said, those lands, my Dayuan came from the Jin people, of course, there is no reason to hand it over to you, Chen Shangshu, what do you say? ”

"Ridiculous, then according to the meaning of Lian Shangshu, we need to take the initiative to return the prisoners in order to ask you to stop the army? If that's the case, what are you and I talking about, such a result, forgive Chen for not being able to explain to the court, it must not be what you want to see. ”

Liu Yu saw with his own eyes how domineering a self-confident diplomat was, Lian Xixian did not speak harshly, but he was always superior in his words, as if the side that lost the battle was the Song people.

"Not really." Lian Xixian suddenly changed his words.

"If you agree, our country can compensate those soldiers, and that's why you and I are sitting here. However, if we still do what Mr. Wang said, not only will we not be able to agree, but we will pass it back, and my lord will certainly be displeased, and when the time comes, it will not be our responsibility to be afraid that the flames of war will be ignited again. ”

The threat in Lian Xixian's words, as long as he is not a fool, he can hear it, Chen Jingxing's face sank, he didn't expect these Yuan people to be so tough, avoiding the issue of returning the territory, how can this work.

"What kind of compensation do you intend to make, according to your envoy?"

"The ransom of people on the grassland is nothing more than cattle, sheep, and horses, and if your country is interested, you can discuss it. The amount of gold and silver treasures is needed, and the price can only be made for the return of the soldiers, and my lord will not spare these. ”

Chen Jingxing was so choked by his face that he was speechless, he knew what he meant, was this a clear plan to talk about it?

"If that's the case, then there's no need to talk about it, I have everything you said. The official wants to remind Lian Shangshu that there are many epidemics in the south of the Yangtze River, and if you delay for one more day, I am afraid that there will be more deaths. ”

After speaking, he stood up, didn't wait for the other party to reply, took the lead and walked outside, and Wang Yinglin and other attachés also hurriedly followed. Liu Yu's movements were a step slower, and he fell behind, and when he went out, he paid special attention to Lian Xixian and them, who didn't seem to be afraid of anything, and drank tea by himself.

Of course, Liu Yu didn't believe that they were deliberately trying to stir up this matter, Lian Xixian did this, did he simply make a price first, and then sit down and pay the money? Or is there something else to rely on, he always feels that there must be something overlooked in it, and what it is, but he can't grasp it for a while.

The next day, Chen Jingxing really made the matter public at the court meeting, this responsibility was too great, and he couldn't afford it at all. I don't know if I already know it, Lao Pingzhang Wang Entropy was unmoved, and Chen Yizhong and Liu Mengyan also pondered for a long time.

"The ministers have the grace of the saints, and I implore the court to choose another merit to act as ministers." In the end, Chen Jingxing even resigned and said that he came out, Liu Yu looked at him, it didn't look like a fake at all, he was really an acting school.

"Things have just begun, nothing has been talked about yet, don't pick on them at every turn. The old minister thought that Yuanren's move might not be true, so it was better to deal with them first and test their intentions. ”

After Wang Entropy heard what he said, he first gave a lesson to the next two sentences, and then expressed his opinion, for such a thing, Xie Shi originally had no idea, and naturally followed what he said when he heard it.

The actions of these two always made Liu Yu feel like they were singing and harmonizing, but he couldn't guess the intention now. When such an incident happened, the court became very quiet, and even the officials invariably shut their mouths.

"Do you have a discussion about the matter of Qiongzhou City?"

was waiting for the officer on duty to shout "retreat", and suddenly heard Xie's voice from behind the curtain, not by her, Liu Yu almost forgot that Zeng was the only one who died, and there was no chief official in the city, which was indeed a problem.

"The ministers have discussed it, and Zeng Wei died in the king's affairs, and as usual, he should be posthumously given a first-class, and he can be awarded the Guanglu doctor and one of his sons." Liu Mengyan owes a debt and replied.

"Oh, that's it, just issue an edict according to this, who do you want about his successor?"

Obviously, they didn't reach an agreement on this issue, and after Xie Shi's words were asked, no one answered for a long time, and it was cold for a while.

"If you have a self-recommendation or recommendation, you might as well play it here."

As a last resort, Xie Shi amplified the volume, and the hundred officials in the palace began to talk to each other when they heard it, that place was originally a remote and desolate place, and there was constant banditry, a chief official had just died, who would take the initiative to ask to go when they were full of food?

Xie probably thought of this as well, and let out a faint sigh behind the curtain. At this time, Liu Yu suddenly remembered what Zeng Wei had said before he died, he turned his head to look at the figure in the other column, lifted his robe and walked out of the queue, and straightened his clothes under the throne.
