That night, Cai Yong left Luoyang under the escort of Zhou Fei and four of his men, traveled overland to Mingzhou, and then returned to Quanzhou by boat from Mingzhou.

He left more than a dozen soldiers to Lin Yaozu, the role played by these dozen subordinates was too small, far less powerful than Zhou Fei and others, of course Lin Yaozu didn't need these dozen soldiers, he gave each of them some money, and found an inn outside the city, and rented food and accommodation for two months, let them live in the inn, and go home after the beginning of spring.

In the evening, Jiang Min, the head of the Luoyang Intelligence Station, came to visit Lin Yaozu, and he brought the latest order from Guo Song, the king of Jin.

In the room, Jiang Min handed a note to Lin Yaozu, "This is the warrant given to you by the commander of the Inner Guard, take a look at it for yourself!" ”

Lin Yaozu hurriedly took the note and read it carefully, the meaning of the note was to ask him to send a pigeon letter to Quanzhou, saying that Nanzhao colluded with Tubo to attack Xichuan, the situation in Xichuan was critical, and the king of Jin would personally lead the army to the south after the beginning of spring.

Lin Yaozu immediately understood what Wang Yue meant, and he still had to create an illusion for Yao Shun in Quanzhou, and next year the King of Jin would have no time to think about Quanzhou, and he would have to concentrate on quelling the internal rebellion.

Lin Yao nodded, and asked with a smile, "Dong Zhu Jiang is also a subordinate of Commander Wang?" ”

Jiang Min shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Lin is a little confused, Commander Wang is the commander of the internal guard, responsible for the security of Chang'an, and dealing with the spies of various feudal towns in Chang'an, we belong to the Jin Wei Mansion, and we are responsible for external intelligence, these are two institutions in opposite directions!" ”

Lin Yaozu then understood, and he said apologetically: "I thought that Jiang Dongzhu was also subordinate to the internal guard, but I was confused." ”

After a pause, he asked curiously: "In this negotiation, Zhu Jun put forward the request of the Quanzhou Navy Army to attack Laizhou and Dengzhou, is this a coincidence, or is it your credit?" ”

Jiang Min smiled slightly: "Zhu Jun is looking forward to the warship that can go to sea for a day or two, we just go with the flow, I also received an order from the Jin Wei Mansion, asking me to fully cooperate with Mr., I don't know what Mr. needs?" ”

Lin Yaozu was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I need a few subordinates, and I can't contact Quanzhou in Luoyang, and I need Chang'an to transit, so I need carrier pigeons to contact Chang'an." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Lin, I will arrange these things one by one!"

..........

Li Na's envoy Wang Chongxin has been in Chang'an for a month and a half, in order to obtain the support of Chang'an, Li Na has been repeatedly negotiating in Guo Song, Li Na's request is to release tens of thousands of soldiers captured in Hebei three years ago in advance, and at the same time hope that Chang'an can support him 100,000 sets of armor and 300,000 stone grain, in order to obtain the support of Chang'an, he offered to abolish the prince, change the title of Qi Guogong, return to the imperial court, and at the same time send his second son Li Shidao into Chang'an as a hostage.

However, Guo Song did not agree to release the prisoners of war in advance, and as for Li Na's initiative to abolish the prince and return to the imperial court, Guo Song did not care about these formal things, he paid more attention to practical interests, and he proposed that Li Na cede Haizhou.

The demands of both sides were a bit difficult for the other side to accept, so that the negotiations remained deadlocked, but as Zhu Jun's preparations accelerated significantly, Li Na's pressure increased dramatically, and he had to give in.

In the main hall of the Chang'an Military Department, Zhang Qiu Anzheng, the secretary of the military department who negotiated on behalf of Guo and Song, was negotiating with Wang Chongxin for the last time.

Zhang Qiu An said with a smile: "We should all be pragmatic, I believe you also understand in your hearts that it is impossible for 70,000 prisoners of war to be returned to the Qi State, this is not only the will of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but also the willingness of the miners, their current conditions are not bad, although the mining is hard, but they are well fed, warmly dressed, and have an income of two taels of silver per month, and in another month, when their three-year labor expires, they will be converted into regular miners, and the monthly income will increase to six yuan, I believe that no one wants to go back to war." ”

Wang Chongxin said helplessly: "Zhang Shangshu doesn't need to explain this matter anymore, King Qi only cares about the result, King Qi has made it clear that since these tens of thousands of prisoners of war can't come back, then there is no need to discuss this matter, waste each other's time, talk about what can be done,"

Zhang Qiu'an nodded, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has promised to support Qi with 30,000 barrels of oil and 50,000 sets of armor, 300,000 stone of food, and 200,000 taels of silver, these are all real strategic materials, and they are the resources you need most, but it is also necessary to give up Haizhou, whether you want to or not, the Jin army will enter Haizhou, it is better to negotiate and give up." ”

Wang Chongxin sighed, "The King of Qi has agreed to cede Haizhou, as long as the first batch of materials enters Qi, the King of Qi will make a clear order, announcing to the military and people of all states, Qi surrenders to the imperial court, abolish the prince, and Li Shidao will also be sent to Hebei, but the time is very tight, and I implore the first batch of materials to enter within ten days." ”

Zhang Qiu'an asked his subordinates to write down the negotiation text clearly and pushed it to Wang Chongxin, "This is a consensus reached by both our sides, sign and confirm without objection, and then the official text will be signed tomorrow, only the official text will be signed, we guarantee that the first batch of materials will be sent across the Yellow River within seven days, and the rest of the money and food materials will be completed within one month." ”

Wang Chongxin took the text and read it hurriedly, he was slightly stunned, and asked: "What does it mean that the article "let Haizhou go out of Haizhou" is remarked as non-public? ”

"It means that there is this article in the negotiation text, but it is not disclosed in the official text, this is the request of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and there should be no problem with this request!"

Wang Chongxin nodded, "There should be no problem!" ”

He read it carefully again, confirmed that it was correct, then took up the pen to sign his name, and pressed the handprint, Wang Chongxin was anxious for more than a month, and at this time a heart finally landed.

.........

At the same time that Zhu Zhu was preparing for the war with all his might, preparing to attack Li Na in a big way, Guo Song was also actively planning how to seize the opportunity, and Zhu Jun's attack on Li Na was undoubtedly a good opportunity for the Jin army.

It's just that cranes and mussels compete with each other, and fishermen benefit, although the truth is simple, but there are many details to consider.

In the staff room, Guo Song stood in front of the sand table and discussed military affairs with Zhang Qiu'an, Zhang Qiu'an has been the governor of Tiance for a long time, although he is in the phase class, but in fact he is in charge of the army's logistics, soldiers, assessment and rewards, which is why although he is far more low-key than Du You, Pan Liao and others in the political affairs hall, his position is very solid.

"Your Highness, there is news from Dizhou that the 10,000 barrels of oil and a set of armor supporting Li Na can be sent across the Yellow River at any time, and 100,000 stone of grain and 50,000 taels of silver are also ready."

Guo Song nodded, "When the text is officially signed tomorrow, the first batch of money, grain and materials can be sent across the Yellow River." ”

"Your Highness, Haizhou can take it now."

Guo Song pondered for a moment and said: "Haizhou I have my own great use, now don't startle the snake for the time being, you can inform Wang Yu to visit Haizhou Assassin Shi first, make preliminary preparations, and the intelligence station in Quanzhou, let them strengthen the surveillance of the Quanzhou naval army." ”

"Wechen understood, and immediately arranged."

Guo Song hesitated for a moment and said, "In addition, I have one more thing that I want to discuss with Zhang Shangshu." ”

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"It's about Zhang Guangsheng!"

Guo Song's eyes have been fixed on Kuiguan, in fact, he doesn't care much about Li Na's life or death, he is more concerned about Zhang Guangsheng, the guard of Cuiguan, Zhang Guangsheng has been refrigerated by Zhu Zhu.

But after the Jin army successively exterminated Liu Pi and Ma Sui, Zhu Zhu was also afraid, under the persuasion of Liu Sigu, he once again used the experienced veteran Zhang Guangsheng, appointed him as the chief general of Kuiguan, commanded 20,000 defenders of Cuiguan, Zhang Guangsheng once again became an obstacle on the road of the eastward expansion of the Jin army.

Guo Song originally pitied Zhang Guangsheng very much, and after he was refrigerated by Zhu Zhu, he invited him to Chang'an many times, but Zhang Guangsheng always refused on the grounds that he was disheartened about politics, and if Zhang Guangsheng was really disheartened, it would be fine, but as soon as Zhu Zhu was recruited, he immediately put on his armor again, indicating that this person was still willing to be loyal to Zhu Zhu, so that Guo Song was completely disappointed in him.

Zhang Qiu'an understood Guo Song's strategic intentions, so he smiled and said: "Your Highness, Zhang Guangsheng actually had a close relationship with Yuan Xiu at the earliest, and now he has become Liu Sigu's person, Weichen thinks that Liu Feng must be deeply jealous of him, so it is better for us to create conditions for Liu Feng and use countermeasures to get rid of Zhang Guangsheng." ”

Guo Song pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that Liu Feng won't be able to interfere in military affairs." ”

"Has Your Highness forgotten? Liu Feng can't interfere in military affairs, but there is also Meihuawei, and Liu Feng can influence Meihuawei. ”

One sentence reminded Guo Song that although Meihuawei was directly managed by Zhu Zhu, Zhu Xin'an, the commander of Meihuawei, was recommended by Liu Guifei and wore a pair of pants with Liu Feng.

Guo Song pondered for a moment, and he immediately ordered: "Go and inform Song Tian quickly, let him come to see me immediately!" ”
