Chapter 773: Land Cession Reparation

Han Yuanji, a famous poet and lyricist in the Southern Song Dynasty, was the commander of Jian'an County, and the official of Longxing was the secretary of the ministry.

Huang Tingjian, a famous writer and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the founder of the Jiangxi Poetry School, is known as "one ancestor and three sects" (Huang Tingjian is one of them) with Du Fu, Chen Shidao and Chen Youyi. Together with Zhang Lei, Chao Buzhi, and Qin Guan, they all studied under Su Shimen, and were collectively known as the "Four Bachelors of Sumen". During his lifetime, he was as famous as Su Shi, and was known as "Su Huang".

Huang Tingjian and Han Yuanji, both poets who entered the WTO because of Baizhao Card, were directly implanted in Huang Zu's son Huang Shot, and Han Xuan's son Han Guang.

In the First Battle of the Alliance's invasion of Qin, Huang Tingjian and Han Yuanji were not among the coalition forces, otherwise they would not have escaped the fate of being killed or captured.

After the defeat, Jiangxia and Changsha counties quickly made defensive preparations, apparently to settle accounts in case of the Qin army.

In addition to defense, the two counties also sent two sons as messengers, and they also asked for the alliance when they came to ransom them, and their posture was extremely low.

The series of reactions of the two counties all proved that there was a master behind the two counties in command, and this master also aroused Qin Hao's interest, so he sent Jinyi Wei to inquire about the news, and finally got that the person who planned it was the son of Huang Zu...... Huang Xie.

Huang Xie, minister of Chu during the Warring States Period, writer, politician, and former minister of Chu.

In the first year of King Chu Kaolie, Huang Xie was given twelve counties north of the Huai River and named Chun Shenjun, so Huang Xie and Wei Guoxinling Jun Wei Wuji, Zhao State Plains Jun Zhao Sheng, Qi State Meng Weijun Tianwen and called the "Four Sons of the Warring States".

Chunshenjun Huang Xie is also one of the characters born by the poet Baizhao, and he was also implanted with Huang Zu's sick son 'Huang Xie'.

Huang Xie is a person who has been the prime minister of Chu, and in that extremely turbulent era, a person who can serve as the minister of a country is not a person with high political ability, and a good understanding of military affairs is a basic quality.

Of course, Huang Xie knew that the center of the Qin army was no longer in Jingzhou, and he also realized that the alliance to attack Qin was simply Liu Xiu's leverage, but his persuasion letter had not yet been passed on to Huang Zu, and the 100,000 allied troops in Jingzhou had been completely defeated, and even his father Huang Zu was directly captured.

After learning the news, Huang Xie was anxious, and then united with Han Xuan's son Han Guang Han Yuanji, and quickly ordered the border to be strictly guarded, and then sent his younger brother Huang Tingjian to ransom people on his behalf.

Whether it is Huang Zu or Han Xuan, they are the pillars of their respective counties, even if Huang Xie is the son of Huang Zu, there is no prestige to replace him for the time being, so for the stability of the two counties, they must be redeemed at any cost.

Whether it is Jiangxia or Changsha, the share of the ransom given to Qin Hao is very large, which can be said to be very sincere, but this still can't satisfy Qin Hao's appetite, so a new ransom list is listed.

After reading the contents on the list, Huang Zu's face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Qin Hou, these conditions are a bit excessive, right?" ”

Han Xuan on the other side cheered and said happily: "Master Hou, Changsha is willing to pay these ransoms." ”

The reason why the two reacted so much was naturally because the conditions for letting the two leave were not the same.

Since Changsha does not border with the Qin army, the three counties in the south of Nanjun that were newly captured have now been thrown into the arms of Liu Xiu, so Qin Hao only asked Han Xuan to compensate a large amount of money and grain.

And because Jiangxia is directly adjacent to the Qin army, Qin Hao not only asks for compensation for money and grain, but also wants Jiangxia to cede land and sue for peace.

Although Jiangxia's compensation was only one-third of Changsha's, it had to give up the three counties of Nanjun under the newly conquered state, and cede the three counties of Jiangbei in Jiangxia, a full six counties to the Qin army.

After seeing Huang Zu's harsh conditions and looking back at himself, Han Xuan decisively chose to agree.

In Han Xuan's opinion, the territory is more important than the money and grain, as long as the land is still there, the money and grain can be earned back sooner or later, and he can leave only by paying the money and grain, of course he is very willing.

Han Xuan even felt that he had taken advantage of it, because they were also leaving the Qin army, and Huang Zu had paid a much greater price than himself.

In comparison, Huang Zu's face was naturally very bad, because although Jiangxia County was rich, it only had fourteen counties, and if he gave up all his income this time and ceded three counties, then he would only have eleven counties left.

The newly acquired land of the three counties was ceded to Qin Hao, and Huang Zu did not have much opinion on this, after all, it was not his territory, but the cession of the three counties in Jiangbei touched Huang Zu's nerves.

Because if the three counties of Jiangbei were ceded out, the Jiangxia sphere of influence would be completely expelled from Jiangbei, and from then on it could only develop south of the Yangtze River, so of course Huang Zu was unwilling.

"Qin Hou, Jiangxia is willing to give up the land of the new southern county, and is willing to double the compensation for money and grain, but it is absolutely impossible to cede the three counties of Jiangbei." Huang Zu said in a deep voice, and his attitude was extremely firm.

Seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, they were also princes of the Three Kingdoms, how could the gap between Han Xuan and Huang Zu be so big?

Han Xuan is not incapable, his political ability is still passable, otherwise he would not become a prince, but this person is a little too afraid of death.

In comparison, Huang Zu is much more qualified, even if he is already a captive, he is still thinking about the power, not his own life.

"Huang Zu Taishou, do you think you are still qualified to negotiate terms with Ben Hou now?"

Qin Hao looked at Huang Zu with disdain, and sneered: "After Jiangdong Liu Miao learned that you were captured, he could already be reorganizing his army and fighting at any time, and he could attack Jiangxia at any time, but without Jiangxia where you are in charge, are you sure you can stop the Jiangdong army?" It's really not just the three counties of Jiangbei that were lost at that time. ”

Huang Zu naturally knew the severity, and although his eyes were full of struggle, he still gritted his teeth and said, "No, Qin Hou, you will definitely not let Liu Xuan occupy Jiangxia, that is a greater threat to the Qin army." ”

Qin Hao couldn't help but be a little impressed by Huang Zu, this is definitely not a man with a lot of eyes, why did he miss Gan Ning, a fierce general, in the original history? It's weird.

What Huang Zu said was the truth, but at the negotiating table, it was common for black and white to be reversed.

"Huh."

Qin Hao sneered and said lightly: "As long as Liu Xuan doesn't take the initiative to provoke Ben Hou, what does it matter if he takes Jiang Xia or not?"

To be honest, Ben Hou doesn't care about the three counties in Jiangbei, but since you dare to take the initiative to provoke me, then you will naturally have to pay the corresponding price to prevent you from waiting for the scar to forget the pain. ”

Huang Zu's face was full of pain, Qin Hao just wanted to give him a lesson that he would never forget, it seemed that it was impossible to retreat without bleeding.

Huang Zu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If you don't have to compensate for money and grain, Jiangxia is willing to cut the land of these six counties." ”

Qin Hao showed a triumphant smile, and his lips and teeth opened lightly: "Yes." When the money, grain, and land have been settled, you can leave. ”
