Looking at Ji Linbing, who sternly refused, Wen Kai and Ma Jiuyi glanced at each other, and there was no surprise on their faces.

With such harsh conditions, Zhou Jun did not agree to it for sure, but Ji Linbing agreed, which is strange.

Either Ji Linbing is a traitor and deliberately betrays the country, or Ji Linbing has no intention of making peace talks and wants to use this to trick the devil.

In short, Ji Linbing's reaction did not surprise the two, and they didn't think that Zhou Jun could agree to this condition.

Start with a scary price, and then slowly cut down, anyway, there is still plenty of time, just a little bit of oil.

So, Wen Kai and Ma Jiuyi exchanged glances, one sang with a white face, the other pretended to be red-faced, and they had a tacit understanding and began to fight with Ji Linbing.

Yan Kui guarded behind them with a knife in one hand, vigilant against Bao Xiong and the others, while watching the show with taste.

On the first day, the two sides just tested each other, and did not have any real skills, the Northern Jin Dynasty made an offer, the Western Zhou showed its attitude, and the two sides exchanged information, and this first peace talk was over.

In the evening, Yan Kui escorted Wen Kai and others, and Bao Xiong followed Ji Linbing, both of whom left Shita Temple, reported the progress of the peace talks to their superiors, and recuperated by the way, waiting for the next day's negotiations.

…………

The next day, Ji Linbing, who had already discussed with Ning, Song, and Lu all night, drew the bottom line of the Zhou army.

It is absolutely impossible to be a minister!

The compensation for land cession can be negotiated slowly.

Wen Kai agreed to the request of the Zhou army in principle, but made another plan, that is, the Western Zhou could not pay tribute to the Jin army, but send a prince to the capital of the Northern Jin Dynasty as a proton.

The first is to count it as a punishment, and the second is to prevent the Zhou army from turning his face and not recognizing people after he gets out of trouble, and attacks the Northern Jin Dynasty again.

Of course, because the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty is now young and not married, this prince can be replaced by a relative of the Western Zhou royal family.

But it must be the descendants of the Ji family, the children and grandchildren of Taizu of the Western Zhou Dynasty or Taizong, and they can't fool people with those relatives who can't be beaten with eight poles.

Ji Linbing understood that the Northern Jin Dynasty still wanted the Zhou army to admit that they were the victors in this national war, and sending protons was just a euphemistic substitute for the Western Zhou Dynasty to surrender tribute to the Northern Jin Dynasty, but it has to be said that Ji Linbing was tempted.

Sending protons is not like a minister who is a minister, who wants to write a letter of state to announce to the world, and has the orthodoxy of a country.

Although the world understands that this proton was sent to the Northern Jin Dynasty after the defeat of the Zhou army, nominally the Western Zhou Dynasty can send the clan as a hostage and modify it to send it to the Northern Jin Dynasty to communicate with the two countries.

Although it was just a fig leaf to deceive himself, it was this cloth that Xi Zhou could barely save face............

…………

Thinking of this, Ji Linbing agreed to the conditions of the Northern Jin Dynasty as the prince of the Western Zhou Dynasty, of course, he did not forget to specifically note that the identity of this proton was sent by the Western Zhou Dynasty officials to communicate with the Northern Jin Dynasty, not a hostage.

Wen Kai said that he understood, isn't it just that he is a bitch and sets up an archway, as long as the proton is in hand, it proves the identity of the victor of the Northern Jin Kingdom, as for these scattered details, it doesn't matter, anyway, everyone knows what is going on.

The proton matter was confirmed, the two sides agreed on some more details, and the next day's negotiations came to an end.

The rest is the question of the geometry of the compensation for the Zhou army's land cession, which is the most important key to the peace talks between the two countries.

How much meat was eaten in the Northern Jin Dynasty and how much blood was put in the Western Zhou Dynasty all depended on the past few days............

In the fifteenth year of the calendar, April 19

On the third day of peace talks between the two countries, the Northern Jin Dynasty still cooperated with Wen Kai and Ma Jiuyi, while the dominant power on the Zhou army's side changed from Ji Linbing to Yuan Sheng.

Also, Ji Linbing is not good at negotiating, so he can decide the direction of negotiation, but when discussing the specific details, Yuan Sheng, an eloquent person, must come out.

So, Yuan Yushi fought a tug-of-war with Wen Kai and Wen Kai.

Since April 19, the two sides have first started fighting around the land of Youzhou.

The three prefectures proposed by the Northern Jin Dynasty and the two counties proposed by the Zhou army at the beginning, the two sides cut and increased, and it took two days to finally reach an agreement after the Western Zhou Dynasty ceded Youzhou Hongyang Mansion and the thirteen counties under its jurisdiction to the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Land Cutting (√)

After that, the two sides argued for two days over the issue of compensation, and finally set the amount at 12 million taels.

Among them, only a small part of the 12 million taels of cash silver, the vast majority of which was converted from hard articles such as grain and grass, pig iron, silk, and horses, and then when the two sides handed over, they had to be calculated and checked again, after all, the goods rate of the two countries was not the same.

But on the whole, the matter of reparations can be regarded as negotiated.

Indemnity (√)

…………

After the two pairs are played, this peace talk is almost over, and when the Western Zhou Proton arrives, the two sides will officially stop fighting.

After that, the Zhou army will hand over Hongyang Mansion and the indemnity to the Northern Jin Dynasty one after another, and the Northern Jin Dynasty will also open the passage to let the Zhou army in Beiling City return to China in batches.

The time for this is neither too long nor too short, and it is estimated that it will be completed in about one to two months from the beginning of May.

If all goes well, this time will be shortened, and the border between the two countries may have a chance to return to normal by the end of May.

In the fifteenth year of the calendar, April 22

It was at the Shita Temple that the two delegations signed the peace talks, which was officially called the Shita Alliance, and the news was transmitted back to the two countries, causing countless turmoil.

In the sixth year of Tianye, on April 25, the Empress Dowager Ning of the Western Zhou Dynasty issued an order to send the eldest son of Taizong, the brother of Emperor Tianye, and the king of Anping County, Ji Yuan, to the Northern Jin Dynasty Shengjing as a hostage.

In addition, Ning Decai, the prime minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Qin Botao, the right general, sat in Youzhou and were jointly responsible for the transfer of land compensation with the Northern Jin Dynasty.

On April 30, Proton of the Western Zhou Dynasty and Wang Jiyuan of Anping County went to the camp of the Jin army in Beiling, Di Yi arranged for someone to escort him to Shengjing, and he led his troops to Xiaoguan to begin to take over the counties of Hongyang Prefecture from the hands of the Western Zhou.

In the fifteenth year of Liyang, the tenth day of the fifth month

Di Yi successfully took over the five county towns in the north of Hongyang, and received the first batch of compensation sent by Ning Decai, with a total value of about three million taels.

The next day, Di Yi ordered Yan Kui to lead his troops to "escort" the first batch of troops of the Zhou army back to China, with a number of about 60,000.

May 17th

Just as the two countries of Jin and Zhou were in full swing for the second "exchange", the 200,000 Chu troops in Gyeongju were also unwilling to retreat.

In order to recover the losses of the troops as much as possible, the Chu army plundered all the counties in Qingnan when they left, and finally even the young and strong people were transported away by boat.

On May 20, after the withdrawal of the Chu army, most of Pinghu Mansion became white land, and the weight of the losses was jaw-dropping, and it also made Emperor Liyang of Shengjing fire for most of the month.

All the generals in Gyeongnam were reprimanded, and the main general Sha Qianying was even demoted and fined, and he lost face.

…………

The situation in Gyeongnam is erosive, but the situation in Beiling is getting better and better.

At the end of May, the last remnant of the Zhou army withdrew from Beiling, and the Northern Jin Dynasty fully recovered the lost territory, and also received a Hongyang Mansion and tens of millions of taels of indemnity.

On the first day of the sixth month, Emperor Liyang issued an order to reward the generals, and worshiped Di Yi as the general, so that he could sit on the border and digest the new land of Hongyang Mansion.

The military and civilian officials and gentry of the three prefectures of Nanling, Beiling and Hongyang all listened to Di Yi's orders, and he also became one of the most powerful ministers in the Northern Jin Dynasty.

As the hero of the top ranking in this battle, Yan Kui also gained a lot, the official residence from the Sanpin Pingbei General not to mention, Emperor Liyang also gave him a viscount,

The most important thing is that Yan Kui has the power of the army in his hands, and Emperor Liyang asked him to follow Di Yi's account, sit in Beiling, and take charge of 80,000 troops.
