What he said was completely perfunctory, and when Chu Xiang heard this, how could he be willing, so he couldn't help but say urgently:

"His Royal Highness the Wind King, Hanyang and Sanjiangkou are Chu lands, but they are stationed by his ** team, which seems to be unreasonable anywhere, right? Moreover, if you are not careful, it is very easy to cause contradictions between the two countries. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Chu Xiang is threatening this king when he says this?" ”

"How dare you do it, just talk about things, and hope that Your Highness will know it." Chu Xiang hurriedly gave a salute.

Lu Chen is just saying that, the prime minister of a country, his status is noble, and it is impossible for Lu Chen to reprimand others, after thinking about it for a while, he can only say: "Okay, the meaning of Chu Xiang, this king has already understood, but this matter is not a sentence that can be decided, as for whether to withdraw the army, this king still needs to discuss with the ministers of the DPRK and China after returning to China." ”

"His Royal Highness the Wind King......" Chu Xiang said hurriedly.

It's just that at the beginning of his words, Lu Chen had already interrupted him and said, "This king has already said that this matter needs to be considered, Chu Xiang can't let this king promise you now, right?" ”

Hearing him say this, Chu Xiang had no choice but to sigh lightly and said, "This ...... Well, I hope that His Highness will give my country an answer as soon as possible. ”

"The king knows." Lu Chen said casually, and then said: "In addition, as for the many matters between Feng and Chu after this war, this king will ask Lord Liu Yuanliu to contact you." ”

Chu Xiang nodded, then bowed down and said, "Then I'll retire first." ”

"Xiangguo, please." Lu Chen stretched out his hand.

Liu Yuan and Chen Qun were originally in the Pingzhou military camp, but now that the war is over, Lu Chen also ordered Chen Qun to return to the capital, and Liu Yuan came to Chu with him.

After Chu Xiang left, he also immediately asked Liu Yuan to be summoned.

After the latter came in, he naturally knelt on the ground first, Lu Chen waved his hand to signal him to be flat, and then said directly: "Tomorrow, you will go to Chu Xiang, on behalf of our country, to discuss the post-war affairs of the two countries." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Yuan to answer, he added: "In this Chu civil war, my country not only sent troops to help, but also provided a lot of support to the Chu army in the early stage of the war, such as grain, grass and ordnance. ”

"Weichen understands, please rest assured." Liu Yuan replied.

"Yes." Lu Chen nodded, and then suddenly asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's still ...... Not yet. ”

"Then let's stay and have a meal together." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"This, Weichen doesn't dare." Liu Yuan said in a panic.

Lu Chen said: "What dare you dare, come, accompany this king to drink two cups, I hate you literati the most, a sour smell, a lot of red tape ......"

The next morning, Liu Yuan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion of Chu State.

Many state affairs are not done by the king himself, just like this time, after the war, the Chu State was responsible for the Chu Xiang, and the Feng State sent Liu Yuan to discuss with the Chu Xiang.

Liu Yuan is the prime minister of the Wind Country for a long time, which is equivalent to the deputy prime minister, and the official position is certainly not small, after welcoming him into the mansion, Chu Xiang also achieved etiquette in place.

The two of them bowed their hands, first came to a set of greetings in the officialdom, and then sat down separately, and after the people in the house brought the tea, only Chu Xiang and Liu Yuan were left in the hall.

Liu Yuan first organized the language, and then went directly to the topic, saying: "Lord Xiangguo, I came here today mainly to represent my country, and I want to discuss the post-war affairs with Xiangguo. ”

"This matter, His Royal Highness the Wind King has already told me yesterday, but I don't know, what are the conditions proposed by your country?" Chu Xiang asked. People sent troops to help each other, and supported grain, grass and ordnance, which cost a lot, and now that the battle has been won, it is natural to return the things that were lost before the people, for this point, there is nothing to say at all, and Chu Xiang did not beat around the bush.

Liu Yuan heard this, said: "As we all know, the soldiers and horses moved, the cost is the largest, and our country, in order to help your country, is to send more than 300,000 troops, and the rebels in the Sanjiangkou battle, for the Gui ** team to recover other lost territory to create a favorable opportunity, and then, our army is a bloody battle in Hanyang, containing the main force of the Qing army, if there is no help from our army, I believe that His Royal Highness the King of Chu will not be able to clear the traitors so quickly, recover the Chu State, all kinds of here, there is no need to say more in the next day, I believe that the Lord Xiangguo can understand." ”

Chu Xiang took a sip of tea and did not speak.

Liu Yuan continued: "More importantly, when our country decided to send troops to help, it was actually opposed by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

He said so much, it was nothing more than adding chips to the next conversation, how could Chu Xiang not understand, after hearing this, he put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Chu State sincerely thanks your country for your help, of course, for this, we will definitely give your country a rich reward, there is no doubt about it." ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he leaned over slightly and said: "Well, what my country means is that for this war, your country should give my country 80 million taels of silver, 20,000 horses of silk, and five carts of jade and jade......

"What!?" Hearing this, Chu Xiang suddenly couldn't sit still, the compensation for Feng Guo is certain, and Chu Guo also has a clear attitude towards this matter, but Liu Yuan's asking price is inevitably a little too lion's mouth, of course he can't accept it.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan hurriedly said, "Hey? Don't get excited, you know, in this battle, our soldiers not only traveled a long way, but also suffered heavy losses......"

How do you know that Chu Xiang said directly: "No! That's too much! Our country will give you a maximum of 50 million taels of silver, 10,000 horses of silk, and two carts of jade and jade. ”

"How is this possible?" Liu Yuan was not happy either.

"In terms of friendship between the two countries, Lord Liu should reduce ...... as appropriate"

"But about the war, Lord Xiangguo should also understand......"

"Our civil war has just been decided, where is there so much gold and silver ......"

"Sangkook-sama is so good at laughing......"

For a while, the two civil officials began to argue with each other, their faces were red and their necks were thick, although the state of Chu was rich, it was a bit painful to take out so much gold and silver at once, not to mention, the value of the five carts of jade jade was very terrifying.

In the end, there was no way, the two sides could only give in one step, but Chu Xiang still looked like he had a painful expression.

At this time, Liu Yuan took out a silk book from his arms, unfolded it on the table, and said, "Can you have pen and ink?" ”
