Chapter 224: Signing an Armistice!

"Why is Emperor Qin so naΓ―ve!" The corners of Qiu Yixiao's mouth went up, revealing a sarcastic sneer.

"What do you mean by that?" Ying often replied with a smile but not a smile.

"Why is Yan Zhao willing to stop fighting? Don't the two countries have the strength to work together to destroy the Jin? No, they have, as long as they are willing, within half a year, Jin will die, but why did Yan Zhao stop fighting? Because they know that a weak Jin is more cost-effective than a ruined Jin Empire! ”

"The world knows the Qin of the tiger and wolf, Qin defeated 500,000 elite Jin troops with 160,000 soldiers and civilians, such strength is enough to make the countries of Kyushu panic, if the Jin perishes, who will contain Qin? The better Qin's performance, the more Yan Zhao and even Qi were afraid! ”

"Say one that makes the foreign ministers feel sad, Yan Zhao does not destroy Jin, is to make the weak Jin a buffer between the three kingdoms of Qin, Yan and Zhao, whether it is Yan or Zhao, or even Qi, they will not watch the Jin Empire perish, if the Qin Empire develops rapidly and threatens them, then it is not Yan Zhao who will attack Jin, but Yan Zhao Qi and Jin The four kingdoms will attack Qin!"

"Emperor Qin should not try to force the foreign ministers to compromise by destroying the Jin, the foreign minister's words are very clear, the Jin Empire does not want to fight anymore, and it is unable to fight again, but the Qin Empire does not want to destroy the Jin, even if the Qin Empire insists on sending troops to destroy the Jin, Yan and Zhao will not agree!" Qiu Yixiao analyzed the situation very thoroughly, and it was precisely because he knew the situation that he was so in danger.

Ying Chang waited for the hundred officials to fall silent, Qiu Yixiao said well, Yan Zhao and even Qi will not let the Jin Empire perish, now, there are only two ways in Daqin, one, the fish is dead and the net is broken, send troops to attack Jin at any cost, and snatch the household registration back with his own hands, pay attention, you can only grab the household registration, you can't occupy the Jin land to destroy the Jin country, otherwise Yan and Zhao will intervene, and it is very likely that they will send troops to aid Jin to fight Qin!

Second, agree to Qiu Yixiao's conditions, release more than 200,000 prisoners of war and return to Jin, which will be used to exchange for household registration in the four counties.

"I still say the same thing, it's okay to armistice, but the Jin Empire must return the household registration first, after the household registration returns to Qin, Daqin will return the prisoners of war, if the enemy doesn't agree, then I can only let the Great Qin Ruishi go to Jinling City to get it personally, as for whether Yan Zhao will send troops to aid Jin, I can't care about it, they want to come, Daqin will fight with them!" Ying Chang looked solemn and said resolutely.

"Emperor Qin is serious?" Qiu Yixiao stared at Ying Chang, as if he wanted to see through Ying Chang's true meaning, but unfortunately, he couldn't see through those deep and shining eyes.

"Seriously, the enemy can return to Jin!" Ying Chang waved his hand indifferently, without the slightest intention of retaining.

Originally, Yingchang wanted to take the second path, but suddenly it occurred to him that the household registration was originally Daqin's, so why did Daqin have to pay the price for getting his things back? What is the rationale for this?

Not to mention that the household registration has not been obtained now, even if the household registration is in hand, not a single one of the 230,000 prisoners of war will leave.

Qiu Yixiao's face changed, and he became gloomy, and after a while, he spoke: "More than 200,000 prisoners of war consume grain and grass every day...."

Ying Chang suddenly interrupted: "Although Qiu Xiang can rest assured, although the Great Qin Treasury lacks grain and grass, the Great Qin Imperial Court has already prepared this year's budget, and I know from the budget that the Great Qin Treasury can fully support this year, and besides, I transferred five million taels of silver to requisition grain and grass, Qiu Xiang does not need to worry about the shortage of grain and grass in Great Qin, let alone worry about the hungry prisoners of war, go back, the Jin Empire only has half a year to prepare, go back early and prepare early!" ”

"Whew!"

Qiu Yixiao took a deep breath, slowly got up from the ground, bent down expressionlessly and bowed to retire: "That's the case, the minister retires!" ”

After speaking, Qiu Yixiao shook his sleeves and left, and at the same time, Ying Chang spoke: "Spread my will, order General An Yuan and King Wu to speed up the training of troops, prepare all strategic equipment, and send troops to attack Jin in the autumn!" ”

"Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! All the ministers bent down in unison and flattered.

Qiu Yixiao, who was walking at the door of the Qilin Palace, suddenly stopped, Ying Chang looked at Qiu Yixiao's back with interest, only to see Qiu Yixiao turn around, walk back to the center of the hall, and gritted his teeth at Ying Chang and said: "Dajin can return the household registration first, but half of the prisoners of war must be returned to Jin first!" ”

"Since the enemy has taken a step back, then I will also take a step back, I can release the Jin official first, but the prisoners of war will not be released!" Ying Chang said without any waves, but in fact, he smiled in his heart.

In a duel of masters, whoever turns back first will lose.

All the ministers were also relieved, knowing that Qiu Yixiao had to compromise.

Qiu Yixiao was silent for a while, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, I hope that after the household registration is returned, Emperor Qin will not forget to promise!" ”

"Naturally!" Ying Chang nodded with a smile on his face.

Chang Zifei walked out of the civil official queue, turned around and beckoned to the outside of the hall, only to see two Praetorian Guards carrying a large scroll coming, two Praetorian Guards walked to the center of the main hall, and unfolded the big scroll, this big scroll is a large map, Hebei, Hedong, Huainan, Nanyang four counties are in it.

Ying Chang got up from the dark carved dragon throne, walked down the high platform step by step, and stood next to Qiu Yixiao, Qiu Yixiao looked at the four counties on the map, and his heart was dripping blood, the four counties, just return it like this.

Chang Zifei took out two golden silk silks from his arms expressionlessly, this is exactly the return of the letter of state and the armistice agreement of the four counties that the Great Qin Imperial Court had already prepared, Chang Zifei put the letter of state and the armistice agreement on the map, Tang Hua also came over with an inkstone and two brushes at this time, Qiu Yixiao and won the common situation, so he took a brush and signed the armistice agreement and the letter of state.

Qiu Yixiao stamped the seal of the Jin Dynasty, replaced the seal of the Jin Emperor with the Xiangyin, and Yingchang was stamped with the seal of the Emperor Qin, and signed under the two seals, and since then it has been announced that the four counties of Hebei, Hedong, Huainan and Nanyang have been returned to the Great Qin Empire, which is the true sense of recovering the lost territory of Great Qin, and it also represents a truce between the two countries!

Although the letter of state and the armistice agreement did not state that the Jin Empire should return the household registration first, as soon as the letter of return of the four counties was signed, it tacitly acquiesced that the Jin Empire must return the household registration, which was recognized by the countries of Kyushu, and this return of the letter of the four counties did not mean that the Qin Empire had to return the prisoners of war, and it did not have the effect of recognition.

If the Jin Empire does not return the household registration, then the Qin Empire can launch a righteous war against the Jin.

Chang Zifei and some other old ministers saw this scene, and sighed in their hearts, when they first cut the land, they also cut it like this, and now they finally got it back.

After Qiu Yixiao signed the armistice agreement and returned the credentials of the four counties, he left without saying a word, and continued to stay without a face.

Chang Zifei put away the letter of state and the armistice agreement, and the two Praetorian Guards also put away the big map, how to carry it out, Ying Chang also walked back to the high platform, sat on the throne of the black carved dragon, looked around at the ministers with a hint of joy on his face and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the ancestral land that has been lost for several years has finally been recovered!" ”
