After preliminary communication in the early stage, the place of peace talks between the Great Song Dynasty and the Qishan Army was set up in a small city called Wuqiu on the edge of Yizhou, which was originally under the control of the Qishan Army, Zhu Wu deliberately moved all the people in the city into Yizhou to show his sincerity, and turned the city into an empty city, and he could reach the control of the two armies for more than ten miles to the west and east, so it was most appropriate to set the place for peace talks here, and the two sides also agreed on the number of people to be brought during the negotiations and many other details, which will not be described in detail one by one.

Early in the morning, Wang Hao entered Wuqiu City with fifty guards carefully selected by Tong Guan for him, and saw more than fifty people led by Ma Shangshu Fangla, a soldier of the Qishan army, outside a hotel called Hefulou in the city.

The two sides stopped more than 20 meters apart, and looked at each other and were silent for several minutes, they were all waiting for each other to salute first, Wang Hao was a minister of the Heavenly Empire, of course he refused to bow to a group of thieves. And Fang La, whether as the victor or as the dignified soldier of the Qishan army, could not salute the other party.

In this way, after the two sides were in a stalemate for a few minutes, they saw Fang La turn over and dismount first, Wang Hao saw this, the corners of his mouth curled, and he was waiting for the other party to come over to give a salute, but he saw that Fang La actually led people into the Hefu Building without turning his head,

Wang Hao's face suddenly stiffened, and he snorted coldly, turned over and dismounted, and led people into the Hefu Building, and the negotiations officially began.

At the beginning of the negotiations, the two sides began an unceremonious dispute,

Fang La demanded that the Qishan army get exactly the same treatment as the original Liangshan army, that is, to establish a feudal town with the territory of Jiangnan East Road and Liangzhejiang Road, which the Qishan army now actually controls, and the Great Song Dynasty canonized Zhu Wu as the lord of the feudal town, and the Qishan army enjoyed all rights such as taxation, personnel appointments and dismissals within the sphere of influence of the feudal town, and the Great Song Dynasty opened the border to carry out free trade with the Qishan army. In return, the Qishan army would cease all military operations against the Song, and Zhu Wu would no longer claim the title of king, but would be a vassal to the Song.

Wang Hao immediately refused, although your Qishan army was negotiating with the Great Song Dynasty as a victor like Zheng Linfeng at the beginning, but now the situation has undergone a fundamental change, now the Xia State has been repulsed, Zheng Linfeng is also honestly staying in Jingdong, the actual threat of the Great Song Dynasty is only one Qishan army, and you no longer have to worry about falling into the predicament of being attacked on many sides, although your Qishan army won a battle, but only occupied two small pieces of territory, Compared with the Great Song Dynasty, which has a huge land of China, it is still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength! The Great Song Dynasty is talking to you now for the sake of the people here, and I don't want to let the lives be ruined, don't think that the Great Song is afraid of you, if necessary, the Great Song Dynasty can transfer hundreds of thousands of troops to attack you at any time! Therefore, Zhu Wu must no longer be the king, and must be a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, the Qishan army will all lay down their arms and return all the territory to the land. As a reward, the Great Song Dynasty will pardon all the crimes of the Qishan Army, reward the Qishan Army from top to bottom, and award official titles, so that everyone can get a clean and decent identity and glorify their ancestors.

If the requirements of the Qishan army are very harsh, then the requirements of the imperial court are simply harsh to the extreme, and even some wishful thinking, of course, they will be categorically rejected by Fang La and others, and the two sides will not give in to the unceremonious quarrel between you and me, and the negotiations on the first day will break up unhappily, but this is also normal, the first day is to maximize the price increase for the purpose of preparing for future negotiations.

Two days later, the second negotiation began again, and both sides invariably made a little regression, but this negotiation was still aimed at testing the other party's bottom line, and still could not reach a consensus.

In this way, when the seventh negotiation ended fifteen days later, both sides were infinitely close to their respective psychological bottom lines, and the negotiations reached an impasse.

At this time, Wang Hao asked his entourage to find an opportunity to reveal an extremely important information to Fang La's entourage, and after this negotiation, Fang La's entourage immediately reported the entire information to Fang La, and Fang La immediately sent someone to Hangzhou to ask Zhu Wu.

A few days later, the eighth negotiation between the two sides began, Fang La really put forward a new request, he said that in order to enhance the trust between the two sides, Zhu Wu, the king of Qi, wanted to submit a request to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for marriage, and implored the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to marry a princess, so that Zhu Wu, the king of Qi, could become the concubine of the Great Song Kingdom, so that Zhu Wu, the king of Qi, became the son-in-law of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the two sides were a family. To put it bluntly, now the two sides urgently need to solve the problem of trust, and a princess of the Great Song Dynasty and the emperor's biological daughter is a token that can make each other trust!

Fang La also said that as long as the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was willing to marry the princess, the Qishan Army could take a big step back on the basis of the concessions that had been made now!

Wang Hao was secretly happy when he heard this, and pretended to be surprised that he couldn't be the master of this matter, and he had to ask the emperor and the court to give an answer.

Fang La immediately agreed, and the two sides agreed to hold negotiations in a month, during which neither side should take any military action.

Wang Huang returned to the southeast army camp to talk to Tong Guan about the matter, the two looked at each other and smiled, only to feel that things were going too smoothly, in fact, Tong Guan also hoped that peace talks could be reached, because he may have been quite confident in the past to quell the Qishan bandits, but with the last defeat, the southeast army was greatly injured, and no longer had any advantage over the Qishan bandits, in this situation, the rebellion will be extremely difficult, and he dare not guarantee that he will not follow in the footsteps of Gao Yu and the prince. At the same time, Qishan Thief Kou's request is so in line with the interests of King Jia's party, as long as this matter can be achieved, the crown prince will be deeply affected, and at the same time, the relationship between him and the emperor will become more tense!

Subsequently, according to Tong Guan's instructions, Wang Hao wrote a recital and deliberately exaggerated the current grim situation in the southeast, and then Tong Guan repeatedly checked it twice, and after confirming that there was no problem with this recital, he sent someone to send it to Tokyo urgently.

A few days later, the fold was delivered to Tokyo, which unsurprisingly caused another shock to the government and the opposition, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were immediately divided into two factions, one faction known to be the Privy Council Zheng Juzhong, the Chinese scholar Zhang Bangchang and others, they resolutely opposed the marriage with the Qishan thieves, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty was the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Dynasty, and if a noble princess was married to a grass court, it would be a great shame for both the royal family and the Great Song Dynasty!

Even the silent and honest prince, who had been in a period of introspection, strongly expressed his opposition despite the risk of the emperor's reprimand, saying that he was the eldest of the emperor's many children, and that every sister was his own sister, and that he could not bear to let any of them suffer from this!

But at the same time, the ministers led by Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and others also made it clear that they agreed to the marriage, because Wang Hao's recital made it very clear that the Qishan thieves were willing to make concessions, and the court could also make a big request, as long as they could agree, the court could exchange a princess for a benefit that was important enough for the Great Song Dynasty, which was actually very cost-effective! At the same time, through marriage, the Qishan thief Kou and the Great Song Dynasty can also be completely tied together, whether it is for the intention of gradually removing Zhu Wu's military power in the future, or for him to send troops to help the Great Song Dynasty pacify Jingdong, it is very advantageous!

The emperor hesitated, he wanted to pacify the southeast as soon as possible, and then pacify the Jingdong as soon as possible, and finally when the time was ripe, he could use the power of the Jin Kingdom to complete the great achievement that the ancestors had not achieved - to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, so as to achieve his holy name of the king of everything! Therefore, deep down in his heart, he is inclined to accept the conditions of the thief, so that the thief will no longer be a thief, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the hands of the thief will no longer be an enemy, but the army of his son-in-law, which will also become the army of the Great Song Dynasty, and then he can command these armies to sweep away the hateful Zheng Linfeng. But his self-esteem makes it difficult for him to accept marrying his beloved daughter to a thief.

In this way, in the emperor's hesitation, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military quarreled, and they had been arguing for seven or eight days without a conclusion, who expected, on the tenth day, Tong Guan and Wang Hao jointly reported a shocking news to the Manchu Dynasty, he said that a group of Qishan thieves suddenly violated the agreement a few days ago to launch an attack on the Great Song Dynasty, and only one day to attack Hongzhou!

Tong Guan and Wang Hao asked the imperial court whether to stop negotiations and resume the war against the Qishan bandits?

The emperor and his ministers were shocked, what are the Qishan thieves doing? Are they impatient to wait and don't want to talk about it anymore?!
