Chapter 1227: Three more counties of Runan

"Lord Jia, my lord sent me here this time, in addition to returning Xuanyuan Pass, he also wants the canonization of the Luoyang Imperial Court."

Zhao Pu's face was expressionless, he couldn't see his joy and anger, and said lightly: "As far as I know, there are no princes all the way to the court, who have taken the initiative to call the court ministers and serve the court as Zhengshuo."

Zhao Kuangyin, the Marquis of Song, was the first prince of my family, and hoped to be canonized by the imperial court as soon as possible. ”

The implication of Zhao Pu's words is that as the first prince to respect the imperial court, shouldn't the imperial court be generous for a year and give a bigger policy canonization!

Jia Xu's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, he didn't know if this idea was given to Zhao Kuangyin by Zhao Pu, but the person who came up with this method was definitely not a simple person.

Zhao Kuangyin's anti-Yuan Shu slogan of 'Qingjun side', and he can only fool the people, and people with a little knowledge will not believe it, but if he is canonized by the imperial court, the nature of Zhao Kuangyin's rebellion will be different.

If the rebellion is approved by the imperial court, can it still be handed over to the rebellion? That's justice.

If Zhao Kuangyin is canonized by the imperial court, he will completely occupy the righteousness, so as to whitewash himself from an evil traitor to the righteous side, and he will also occupy a certain opportunity in the confrontation with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu will automatically stand on the opposite side of the imperial court represented by Qin Hao.

If Jia Xu couldn't help but say in his heart: Amazing.

A simple act of being a minister can fundamentally change Zhao Kuangyin's predicament, such a deal Zhao Kuangyin will not lose money, and Jia Xu will certainly not be so cheap Zhao Kuangyin.

"This, now Your Majesty is still young, and he can't manage the government yet, and this matter still needs to be decided by the Duke of Qin, but the Duke of Qin is now far away in the Hetao to defend against foreign races, and the Marquis of Song wants to get the canonization of the imperial court, I'm afraid it will have to wait until the Duke of Qin's class returns to the court."

To be honest, now the imperial court is also in urgent need of the approval of the princes, but if Jia Xu agrees to Zhao Kuangyin at this time, although he will also get a lot of benefits, but it is Zhao Kuangyin who gets more benefits, so of course Jia Xu can't agree so easily.

Zhao Pu was disappointed when he heard this, and sighed slightly in his heart: Jia Wenhe is really cunning, he really can't hide it from him, it seems that he can't complete the task without bleeding.

Although Jia Xu refused on the surface, Zhao Pu saw what Jia Xu meant, in fact, he wanted the imperial court to canonize it, the value of a Xuanyuan Pass was not enough, and Zhao Kuangyin still needed to pay other benefits.

In fact, after Qin Hao defeated the alien class teacher and returned to the court, Zhao Kuangyin did not need to pay any price, and he could also get the canonization of the imperial court, after all, Qin Hao could not turn away a prince who took the initiative to submit.

But God knows when Qin Hao will move?

Half? Or a year?

Qin Hao can afford to wait, but Zhao Kuangyin can't afford to wait.

If Qin Hao really comes back, the battle between the Song army and the Yuzhou army may be over.

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to gain the approval of the imperial court, just to seize the opportunity in the first battle with the Yuzhou army, and defeat and replace Yuan Shu at the lowest cost, so even if he was blackmailed by the Qin army, he could only admit it.

"Lord Jia, the Ming people don't say secret words, my lord is willing to cede Ruyin County to Qin Jun, I only ask Qin Gong to handle this matter as soon as possible." Zhao Pu arched his hand and said in a deep voice.

A hint of discoloration flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he said in his heart: Zhao Kuangyin is so anxious, it seems that the situation faced by Song Jun is worse than he imagined, and it seems that he can slaughter the fat sheep.

"Lord Zhao, it's not that the old man doesn't want to help, but it's really difficult, and it won't matter if Song Hou waits for a few more months......"

After Jia Xu said something, Zhao Pu, who listened to it, was speechless, in short, it meant 'adding money', so he said: "Ruyin County, add Shen County at home, there can be no more." ”

"Alas, aren't you embarrassing the old man......"

"Stop, plus Xiyang County, if it doesn't work, forget it."

"Deal."

In the end, under Jia Xu's arguments, Zhao Pudai and Zhao Kuangyin agreed to cede the southeast, southeast and Jiangbei regions of Runan, and the three counties of Ruyinshen and Xiyang, which bordered Zhangling County, to the Qin army.

In this way, the Qin army not only recovered Xuanyuan Pass without spending a single soldier, but also obtained nearly 100,000 more people in the three counties, and the price paid was just an edict, as well as a deterrent in Xuanyuan Pass, which indirectly helped the Song army contain part of the strength of the Yuzhou army.

After Zhao Pu left, all the Qin generals cheered one after another, it was naturally best for them to solve the enemy without fighting, after all, at this time, the Qin army was not suitable for a multi-front war, because if one line collapsed, the whole line would jump.

Jia Xu, who was the biggest hero, didn't show any joy, and Qin Qiong couldn't help but ask when he saw this: "Military advisor, why don't you seem to be happy?" ”

"I feel like I'm losing, if the old man is fighting for it, maybe he can go back to the two counties." Jia Xu said with a painful face.

The corners of Qin Qiong's mouth couldn't help twitching when she heard this, did she make a lot of money or lose money? Zhao Kuangyin only has more than 30 counties in his hands, so it's good to give up three counties, how can he give up five counties.

All the generals thought that the Qin army had taken a big advantage, but Jia Xu knew that it was Zhao Kuangyin who really took advantage, after all, although the Qin army took advantage of this matter on the surface, Zhao Kuangyin must have gotten more, otherwise why would he give up the territory and population to the Qin army.

"After the Xuanyuan Pass is recovered, the role of Guangcheng and Yique will also be greatly reduced, and in the future, only need to strictly defend the Xuanyuan Pass, which is enough to ensure the safety of the southeast of Sizhou, and our army can also save a lot of troops."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu looked at Qin Qiong and said softly: "Xuanyuan Pass is very important, before the lord returns to the court, the old man hopes that General Qin Qiong can go to the town in person." ”

"No." Qin Qiong clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Jia Xu couldn't help but nodded, and then transferred 15,000 troops from Guangcheng Pass, and ordered Qin Qiong to be the main general, and Wei Chi Gong and Xiong Kuohai to be the deputy generals, and went to take over and guard Xuanyuan Pass.

After Qin Qiong's army left, although the strength of Yique Pass was about to reach 5,000, it had no impact on its defense, because as long as Xuanyuan Pass was not lost, no enemy would be able to reach Yique Pass.

"Order Zhangling to guard Xin and abandon his illness, and send troops to take over the land of the three counties ceded by the Song army, but these three counties will not be assigned to Zhangling County for the time being, and everything will be decided by the initiative after the lord returns."

Qin Hao gave Jia Xu a lot of power, but Jia Xu did not dare to abuse his power, and things like the division of counties and counties were beyond the scope of the courtiers' control, so Jia Xu naturally did not dare to arrange them at will.

"Order Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to return to their respective positions, by the way, after sending the order to Yue Fei, now that the war against Yuzhou is over, he can go back to attack Nanjun."
