Chapter 5: Extortion (3): 7.17

Ma Yun's reception was more of a symbolic meaning, representing the Great Chu Empire's agreement to negotiate with Wu Yue. This specific negotiation process was naturally handed over to the Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites and other relevant departments to deal with.

The negotiations with Wu Cheng and Wu Qiong were carried out separately and at the same time. The Great Chu Empire, which came out of remote Changsha, did not do anything to hide the negotiation process with its consistent pragmatic style. If it is another dynasty, even if someone wants to do this, it must be still holding the pipa and half-covering the face to engage in some underground activities, after all, at the same time, they negotiate with the hostile sides with great fanfare, and they also put on a rogue face of the one who has the highest price, isn't this a loss of face in their own court?

Some people, especially Li Tang's demoted officials, such as Zhou Zong, once persuaded Ma Yun, saying that it was not good to do so, and spread it out, leaving the court with no face. Ma Yun said with a smile: "Shame is not money, if you want to use two jujubes, you want to exchange Lao Tzu for real money, he wants to be beautiful." I just want to cultivate a pragmatic style, and it is useless to engage in those vain things. You see, wasn't the group of scholars in Jiangnan West Road a while ago having a good time, and now they are not honest and honest by Lao Tzu. Righteousness is internal, but external. There is a man who speaks, and being merciful to one's enemies is the greatest cruelty to oneself! ”

Zhou Zong retorted unconvinced: "Your Majesty, aren't both Wu and Yue both subordinate to Your Majesty?" Then the people of Wuyue are also His Majesty's subjects? ”

"Ah, then I'll send someone to be the assassin of Hangzhou, I don't know if Hu Sijin will agree, I will send someone to lead Qian Hongliang's army, and I don't know if Qian Hongliang will agree." Subjects, what are subjects, share the same fate, this is the case, if the pseudo-Zhou fights, the people of Jiangnan will naturally resist hard, and the people of Wu Yue will probably be watching from the wall. Can this be called a subject? Lao Zhou, the concept is going to change, and we must keep pace with the times! Ma Yun said with a smile, looking at his appearance, he didn't take the false name of the co-owner of the world in his eyes at all, and if he wanted to be the real emperor, he wouldn't be a heavenly khan.

Zhou Zong kept his mouth shut, he felt that he couldn't communicate with this person at all, and it was a shameful thing to be very happy in the eyes of this person, and he felt that it was quite honorable.

As a result, the negotiation became easier. When Chu came up, the lion opened his mouth, and then waited for Wu Qiong and Wu Cheng to bargain. Wu Cheng understood that if he killed too hard, I am afraid that Chu Guo would not be able to negotiate with him directly, and would instead negotiate with Wu Qiong. So, he mixed up with "uh-huh" during the day, and sent someone to find out Wu Qiong's price at night. On the first day, Wu Qiong bid for Quzhou, Muzhou, and Wuzhou, and Wu Cheng hurriedly added a new price code. As a result, on the third day, Chu Guo couldn't do anything to reflect, Wu Qiong directly increased his chips, and Wu Cheng had no choice but to increase the price.

After a long day, this negotiation activity turned into an auction. What Wu Cheng didn't expect was that Wu Qiong turned out to be a trust for the auction, raising the price all the way. Wu Cheng only vomited blood, and he couldn't wait to punch him twice to make him sober up.

Such a daily price increase soon reached the bottom line that Hu Sijin could accept: ceding Suzhou and Quzhou, and the territory of Qian Hongliang, a chaotic party, as long as it was captured by the Chu army, belonged to the Chu army, and then sent 2o thousand quintals of grain and grass to the Chu army. According to Hu Sijin's weak troops, in this way, in fact, the land of the five states controlled by Qian Hongliang was also equivalent to giving it to the Chu State, while he kept the places of the six states of Hangzhou, Huzhou, Xiuzhou, Yuezhou, Muzhou, and Wuzhou. The territory has been greatly reduced. The danger to the state of Chu can basically be ignored. Perhaps, Hu Sijin had such an idea in his heart, making his own strength weak, so that Chu Guo felt that Wu Yue was not afraid at all, and then came to protect himself. Hu Sijin's abacus played well, but unfortunately, he didn't know Qian Hongqi's situation, if he knew that Qian Hongliang's shortage of grain and grass had reached such a point, I am afraid he would not be so low-voiced and put down such a large capital. After all, the year before last and last year, Qian Hongliang besieged Hangzhou twice, and now Qian Hongliang is ready to move, and then there will be any big military action.

However, Hu Sijin just ran into a traverser like Ma Yun. One of the biggest differences between the traversers and the ancients is their understanding of the territory: if it is mine, it must be obtained, and if it is not mine, it must be obtained when it is an opportunity. The territory is large, the resources are abundant, and it is also very important for the country's future exhibition!

The outcome of the negotiations was thus determined. Ma Yun issued an edict ordering a division of Lu Jiangshuai's headquarters to go out of Changzhou and enter Suzhou without blood. Then appointed Zhou Xingfeng as the commander of the eastern province in the south of the Yangtze River, led the men and horses of the three divisions, and prepared in Quanzhou and Xuanzhou.

Now is the February season, of course, it is not a good time to go on the expedition, Wu Qiong has already said that the food shortage of Qian Hongliang's army is very serious, as long as it lasts for another month or two, when the green and yellow are not available, Qian Hongliang's army may not be able to maintain. When the time comes, there will be Chu Jun outside, Wu Qiong and others inside to respond, and it will be strange that Qian Hongqi is undefeated!

Putting aside the matter of Wu Yue for the time being, since Ma Yun became emperor, Murong Yan of Yanzhou also sent envoys to secretly come to Jinling to congratulate Ma Yun on his ascension to the throne, and the second is also a union. After all, both Ma Yun and Guo Wei gave great praise to the former emperor Liu Chengyou, and both claimed that they were the best candidates to comply with the mandate of heaven and succeed the Han Dynasty.

But in the eyes of Murong Yan, a relative of the Han Dynasty, Ma Yun is still a little kinder than Guo Wei. After all, he not only has a national hatred with Guo Wei, but his personal relationship is not very good. Since Guo Wei ascended the throne, although Ma Yun in the south and Liu Chong in the north have successively proclaimed emperors, both under the banner of crusading against Han thieves, but both of them have made a lot of money, and there has been no large-scale military action against the puppet Zhou. This made Murong Yan dare not act rashly, he sent people to Bianjing to pay tribute, and Guo Wei frowned, and Guo Wei was the emperor, and it was not easy to stabilize the world, so he did not have the idea of beating him, but wrote an extremely enthusiastic letter, calling Murong Yan his younger brother, and not calling him by his name.

It's a pity that this black-faced and long-bearded Murong brother has a ghost in his heart, and he has long felt that he is not reliable in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he sent someone south to see Ma Yun, wanting to worship another big brother.

Although Murong Yan's territory is small, Ma Yun's attention to him is far greater than Wu Yue, after all, Wu Yue is already a grasshopper after the autumn and can't be jumping for a few days. But Murong Yan is a good chess piece embedded in the Central Plains. If the next is good, maybe Guo Wei can be given a dismount.
