Seeing An Jixiang frowning, the whole person was like a hunting bow that tightened the strings, and Han Chengmeng's heart also hung to his throat.

Although once upon a time, An Jixiang was just a little-known person around Zhang Ping, but at this moment, Huanghua can't ignore his existence.

After all, An Jixiang more directly represents the will of Emperor Yanyou.

And Huang Huaneng sat in the position of the ambassador of Hunan Province, which should be more accurate to say that it was the result of the joint decision of Emperor Yanyou and the princes of the court.

Huang Hua didn't mean to urge An Jixiang, stood up and walked outside the house.

Han Chengmeng also got up, but as soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw Huang Hua standing under the corridor, and he didn't enter or retreat.

At this time, he heard Zhou Qinian, who was about to get up, talking to An Jixiang in a low voice behind him:

"There is a sentence that the old man said that he didn't understand the rules a little, and Lord An heard it - Lord An is loyal to His Majesty, there is no doubt about it, but someone must say that Lord An has bad intentions, and Lord An can really cut out his heart? In the end, everyone is nothing more than to do the dispatch assigned by His Majesty, and not to ask His Majesty to work day and night, so that they can be called loyal......"

Han Chengmeng restrained the urge to turn his head to look at An Jixiang's face, looking at the yellowed and thin, as if the mountain rock was cold, and he couldn't figure out what he thought in his heart, how he looked at Xuzhou and Han Qian......

Yang Hu rushed back to Baiyanjiang, just in time for Fu Gengwen and Yang Shouyi to rush over with a message to consol Huanghua.

Seeing that Xuanfu Hua Huanghua was in the edict, Sizhou was asked to transfer another battalion of elite from the western front of Panlongling to strengthen the defense of the Shu army; While reducing the frontal armament of Shihezi Village, Fu Gengwen joined hands to meet the bandit leader to talk about appeasement, and Yang Hu seemed to have been slapped a loud slap by an invisible hand.

Just more than half a month ago, he accompanied Xi Shepeng to lead a thousand elite soldiers of Chenzhou to step out of Chenyang City, full of ambition to think that the situation was under control, where did he think that everything was just a phantom.

"Do you really want to recruit security bandits?" Yang Huyu looked at his father, whose temples were already white, and asked.

"I haven't gotten out of Sizhou much in my life, and I don't know too many heroes, but Your Majesty believes that Huang Hua can control the Hunan Prefectures in the current situation, and he must be a great figure. At this time, Chenzhou also relied on the snort of the imperial court, and we had no choice. Yang Xingfeng has long since lost the dragon spirit and tiger of the past, a little hunchbacked, and his body is bent, but the pupils that seem to be cloudy between his words are clear, and he doesn't mind saying this in front of Fu Gengwen.

Or maybe he hoped that Fu Gengwen would spread this word to Huang Hua's ears, indicating that Si Zhou's forbearance and humiliation at this time were completely in accordance with his Huang Hua's will.

No matter how unwilling Yang Hu is, he actually knows very well in his heart that as long as Xuzhou continues to stand by and watch, and no other reinforcements come in, even if the bandits and the Shu army no longer take the initiative to attack, as long as the tense situation on these two fronts continues, the Sizhou soldiers and the area they currently control and seem to be calm will induce unpredictable and uncontrollable great changes at any time.

While they still have some chips in their hands, following the will of Xuanfu to make Huanghua, appeasement of the bandits may be Sizhou's last choice.

Fu Gengwen seemed to be deaf to Yang Xingfeng's words.

To be honest, he was in cahoots with Xuzhou at this time, so even if he couldn't negotiate the mountain tomorrow morning, he would still be able to go down the mountain alive.

Otherwise, it would be a blessing or a curse.

Fu Gengwen thought to himself that there was nothing wrong with staying in Xuanshu or Jiangdong to be powerful, but he ran to the corner of the southwest and licked the blood on the knife, where to return

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Will you take into account whether the Yang father and son are in a good mood at this time?

Early the next morning, Fu Gengwen urged Yang Xingfeng to withdraw all the soldiers and horses outside the Shihezizhai Pass, and at the same time stared at Yang Xingfeng to send troops to reinforce Shiqian, but before he went up the mountain, he still left two cronies in the camp under the mountain to keep an eye on Yang Xingfeng from making any small moves behind his back.

Now no matter what kind of appeasement conditions will be reached in the end, and no matter what kind of situation Sizhou will form in the future, Fu Gengwen will not allow Yang Xingfeng to make any small moves behind his back now.

At the beginning, Han Wenhuan, Han Daochang, and Han Jun used their bodies as bait to lure Gu Zhilong, and Fu Gengwen never wanted it to happen to him.

In the threat that the Shu army may invade the south at any time, the Sizhou soldiers are at the end of the crossbow at this time, and it is difficult to launch a decent offensive against the rebel army, but the life of the rebel army is not easy.

More than one-third of the generals were killed or wounded.

Needless to say, the thousands of wounded and sick people lacked medical care and groaned in pain every day, which seriously hit the morale of the rebel army.

By this time, it was already winter, and the weather in the mountains was warm and not so cold, but there were fewer and fewer food sources to be found.

Since the uprising, the rebel army has been blocked in the Panlong Ridge, isolated from the main grain-producing areas of the two counties, except for the stock of grain in the cottage, there is no new grain to replenish, at this time the grain has been scarce to the point that the tender tree cores are cut to make dry food to satisfy hunger.

Not to mention the old and sick, the young and middle-aged are in such a state of semi-starvation for a long time, and their bodies are getting weaker and weaker.

On behalf of Hunan, Fu Gengwen sent Huang Hua into the mountain to be appeased, and Tan Yuliang and the others were looking forward to this moment, but they did not agree to the appeasement, on what terms to accept the appeasement, and how to confirm that the appeasement was not a bait to lure them down the mountain to encircle and annihilate them, and there was a great deal of controversy within the rebel army.

Of course, there were also quite a few rebel generals, whose brothers and sisters died at the hands of Sizhou soldiers.

There are also many family members of the generals, because they did not have time to withdraw from the captured cottage, and were brutally slaughtered by the Sizhou soldiers.

Their hearts are full of hatred, and they are resolutely opposed to accepting appeasement.

Regardless of the internal controversy, Tan Yuliang proposed to return the family members detained by Xuzhou, withdraw troops and horses from both sides in the designated area, set aside a buffer zone, and ask Sizhou to transport a part of the grain and wounded medicine up the mountain as a precondition for the next step of contact and negotiations, which is also a very reasonable demand.

…………

…………

With the permission of Huanghua, on the second day of November, Feng Yi took Xi Chang and Xi Fa'er, and Han Chengmeng led more than 100 people to escort Tan Yuliang, Zhao Zhixian's family and more than 100 carts of grain, straw, cloth and wound medicine, and after meeting with Fu Gengwen and the appeasement officials sent by Sizhou, they walked into Shihezi Village together and officially started the negotiation process of appeasement.

The negotiations were nominally dominated by Fu Gengwen and Han Chengmeng, who represented Hunan Province, supplemented by Feng Yi and officials from Sizhou.

The Xi clan was wiped out, Xi Chang, Xi Fa'er and a considerable part of the Xi clan were all sold to Sizhou as slaves by Feng Changyu at that time, and then fled like Xi Chang to find his family, and had contact with some salt trafficking forces in Sizhou that were mainly composed of fugitive slaves.

Han Qian and Xi Chang and Xi Fa'er participated in the appeasement, also to further resolve the hostility of the rebel generals and persuade them to give up confrontation.

Of course, Xuzhou implemented the field tax reform very early, the Tuke nationality, the granting of a large number of farm houses to the adopted village slaves, and the complete abolition of the old slave system after Han Qian's return from Jinling, the impact on the surrounding areas is extremely profound.

Among the generals of the rebel army, many people were sent to Syria by the Yang family

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The state workers, aware of this situation, are also deeply affected by it.

There is no need for Tan Yuliang and them to stand up and do extra work, and Xuzhou sent people to participate in the appeasement, which invisibly dissipated a considerable part of the antagonistic emotions.

At least in the minds of most of the rebel generals, they were not worried that Xuzhou would rebel and lure them out of the mountains to slaughter.

This was originally the most difficult step to cross, and it was easy to cross the past, and the main controversy focused on the specific conditions of appeasement.

Even if the rebel generals are for their own safety, it is impossible for them to give up their military power, and they will not give up ordinary generals, so they will accept recruitment, promotion and fortune for themselves.

In that case, it would be too easy to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Not only Tan Yuliang and Zhao Zhixian knew this truth, but Dong Tai and other rebel generals who were born as smugglers also had a strong sense of vigilance.

Therefore, it is okay to accept the appeasement, and they do not ask for the title of official reward, but only ask for satisfaction with the generals.

And the appeal of ordinary generals is very simple and very direct, which is the slogan that Tan Yuliang used to instigate the uprising: "Wait for the noble and the lowly, and equal the land".

However, this point is difficult for General Sizhou to accept.

More than 20,000 slaves and maids are waiting for the noble and lowly and equal fields under their noses, and at this time, can the slaves and maids who can barely control each family still be able to keep to themselves in the future?

Uniform field?

There are only six or seven hundred thousand acres of cultivated land in the three counties of Sizhou, all of which are owner's land, and they are the foundation of each family, not to mention the negative impact of the follow-up, who is willing to take out one-third or even half of the land and distribute it to these cheap slaves who make Sizhou chickens fly and dogs jump?

Sizhou was unwilling, and Huanghua couldn't exert too much pressure, after all, the whole thing involved the extremely sensitive nerves of the family's gate valve.

The final agreed plan was that the rebel army was newly organized and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Hunan Propaganda Envoy, who would supply grain and armor and be responsible for recovering the war in the Wuchuan River Valley; After recovering the Wuchuan River Valley, more than 20,000 people of the rebel army urinated as soldiers and settled in the Wuchuan River Valley.

Wuchuan County, which is planned to be established in the future, is separated from Sizhou and is directly under the jurisdiction of Hunan Xingshangshu Province.

The Yang clan was extremely bitter in their hearts, which meant that the results of their previous two years in the fight against the Wu people had completely come to naught, but they had managed to preserve their old territory.

The generals of the rebel army were willing to accept such an arrangement, but at the same time, they were also worried that they would really lead their generals and families into the Wuchuan River Valley to fight against the Shu army, and if Sizhou rebelled and attacked its rear road, they would fall into a desperate situation of being attacked on both sides.

Under Tan Yuliang's mediation, the generals of the rebel army finally unanimously demanded that Caojingling, which was located in the northeast of Jinhe County, including Hujian Pass, be included in Xuzhou, and a small and narrow area at the northern foot of Panlong Ridge and the northern foot of Xiage Mountain should be assigned to Wuchuan County.

In this way, on the one hand, Xuzhou can control Sizhou, so that Sizhou does not dare to act rashly, so as not to be caught by Xuzhou, and more practically, although the trail at the southeast foot of Caojingling is extremely dangerous, but in the end it can connect Wuchuan County with Hujian Pass, at least geographically, it will no longer be blocked by Sizhou in the Wuchuan River Valley.

Yang Xingfeng also realized that after this toss, Sizhou's vitality was greatly damaged, and even if he controlled Hujian Pass in his hands, it was meaningless.

On the other hand, after Xuzhou intervened, they did not have the ability to stop the appeasement of the rebel army, and the time was delayed, but it was the soldiers and horses of Sizhou and Chenzhou who were head-on to resist the offensive that the Shu army might launch at any time.

As soon as possible, the rebel army was driven to the Wuchuan River Valley to fight the Shu army, and the Yang clan could not only maintain some dignity, but also mainly relieve their defensive pressure in Shiqian County, and quickly agreed to such conditions, and withdrew the soldiers and horses from Hujian Pass in mid-November and handed them over to Xuzhou to take over......
