Chapter 1255: Korea sues for peace

On the day he received the good news from Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, Zhao Yuanxi chose to stay in Ningxiang Palace and told the good news to Concubine Shen Shu, who missed her two sons. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, Shen Yu's eldest son, Zhao Hongrun, when he led the army back to Daliang from Qin a few days ago, he only stayed in the Junshui camp on the outskirts of Daliang for two days and one night, and then quickly rushed to Yongqiu.

There is no way, as the commander of the First Army, Zhao Hongrun must lead by example, after all, he is not the only one who misses his relatives.

Because of this, although the eldest son came to report safety, Shen Yu still missed his two sons very much, at this time Zhao Yuanxi went to Ningxiang Palace to stay, and told Shen Shufei the good news of Yongqiu's victory, and also told the latter: Your two sons are about to return triumphantly.

A few days later, the Korean envoys Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo again pleaded to see Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, but Zhao Yuansi still refused by Zhao Yuansi on the basis of his health.

In desperation, Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo had to spend money to get through and resolve it, and take the road of Yongwang Hongyu, after all, at this time in Daliang, Wei Tianzi Zhao Yuanxi has gradually stayed away from the government and was regent by Yongwang Hongyu, although Yongwang Hongyu still did not obtain the honorable title of prince and prince, but the actual authority is no different from that of the prince Chujun.

Now what Yongwang Hongyu lacks is just a name that is announced to the public, and before he really gets the honorable title of prince and prince, if he makes any serious mistakes, Wei Tianzi may still be removed at any time - the removal of the crown prince, and the removal of the prince of regent, the latter is far less influential than the former.

It is precisely because of this that Yongwang Hongyu sternly warned the people in the palace and his relatives that they were absolutely not allowed to accept bribes from Han envoys Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, after all, he was only one step away from the prince at this time, like Xiangwang Hongjing and Qingwang Hongxin, staring at him with fierce eyes, wishing he would make a mistake.

Because of some bribes, his reputation was damaged, and he was even attacked by Xiangwang Hongjing and Qingwang Hongxin, how could Yongwang Hongyu allow this kind of thing?

As a result, several boxes of treasures sent by Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo to the Yongwang Mansion were all returned to the post house by the guards of the Yongwang Mansion.

Also returned the treasure, as well as Zhao Hongrun's Suwang Mansion.

Although Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, is not currently in Daliang, how dare Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo leave this Wei Gongzi behind? Therefore, they prepared a generous gift that was exactly the same as the gift given to King Yong's Hongyu and personally delivered it to King Su's mansion.

And in charge of the Su Wang's Mansion, it is Zhao Hongrun's little lady Sheep Tongue Apricot, although Sheep Tongue Apricot is a weak female streamer, but she also understands that this generous gift cannot be accepted, otherwise it will cause gossip to her husband.

Therefore, Yang Yu Xing ordered Su Wangwei in the house to return this generous gift to the post house.

Yongwang Hongyu's path can't work, and Su Wang Hongrun's path can't go either, Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, the two Han envoys, are so anxious that the six gods have no owner, and they spend money everywhere in the hope of opening up the joints, but they have no gain except for being cheated out of some money by a few local scoundrels who claim to be brokers.

It's no wonder, after all, in this battle, the commander-in-chief of the Korean army, Kang Gong Han Hu, led the army to attack under the slogan of the destruction of the Wei State, far more than capturing a few cities of the Wei State, in this case, how dare and how could the nobles and courtiers in Daliang City receive bribes from the Koreans?

Even if there are some unscrupulous nobles who want to get rich, they still accept bribes from Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo in the end, but they are only under the pretense of collecting money and not doing anything - speaking for the Koreans? Before Wei Tianzi revealed his tone, this was a serious ****, as long as the nobles and courtiers with brains would not say anything for Korea for some money at this time.

In a helpless situation, the scholar Han Chao came up with a ruthless trick, he and Zhao Zhuo, who was also an envoy, took the quilt and covered it together, and lived at the main gate of the palace, where they ate and slept there, and said in a beautiful name: Waiting for the summons of King Wei at any time.

For this scoundrel practice, the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace were also crying and laughing.

Let Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo be, it will be unsightly; But if it is forcibly expelled, the other party is also a justifiable Korean envoy, if the Praetorian Guard forcibly expells it, it will spread in the future, and the people of the world will accuse the Wei people of not knowing etiquette, and they do not even have the least respect for the envoys of other countries.

So, the Praetorian Guards had no choice but to tell Zhao Yuansi, the son of Wei Tianzi, about this matter.

I have to say that Wei Tianzi was also ridiculous after hearing about this, after all, Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo are also well-known scholars in South Korea, and now in order to see him, they made such a scoundrel move, which is really surprising.

However, this also proves from the side that South Korea's current situation is indeed very difficult, otherwise, two Korean scholars like Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, would definitely not destroy their face and make such a scoundrel-like helpless move.

Around 15 April, Han envoys Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo had been sleeping outside the main gate of the Bianjing Palace in Daliang for five days.

After learning of this, Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, finally decided to summon the two Korean envoys after a little thought.

After all, the other party has already lowered his voice so much, if he still doesn't give the other party the slightest face, it will be too much.

So, Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, ordered someone to inform the Ministry of Rites, led by Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and summoned Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo.

After seeing the moon, Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo happily returned to the post house with the cover roll, and after bathing and changing clothes, they followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites into the palace to see the King of Wei.

said that it was to see King Wei, but in fact, it was Li Liang, the secretary of the household department, and Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who fought in the ring with Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo.

Relying on the fact that his side is the victorious country and the current situation in South Korea is difficult, Li Liangshi, the secretary of the household department, opened his mouth and spit out the conditions for land reparations one by one, and Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but wipe their sweat frequently.

"Lord Li Liang, these conditions are really too harsh, can you alleviate them a little?" Han Chao pleaded with difficulty.

Hearing this, Li Liang, the head of the household, sneered: "The three wars between your country and my Great Wei were all provoked by your country, and what's more, in this war, your country reneged on the agreement, broke its trust in the world, and brazenly sent troops to attack my Great Wei. …… Now that your country is seeking peace, if you are so easy to deal with it, how can we face the thousands of people in the country, and how can we face the brave soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line, regardless of casualties? ”

On the side, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also violated his usual upright image, and said suspiciously: "Perhaps, the two envoys want to discuss this matter with His Royal Highness King Su...... The two envoys don't have to worry, nine days ago, His Royal Highness King Su has defeated the millions of Chu troops in Shouling Jun Jingshe in Yongqiu, and is chasing the Chu army all the way at the moment. ”

Hearing these words, Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo's faces turned white.

How could they not know that His Royal Highness King Su in Du You's mouth is Wei Gonggongrun in their Korean mouth.

Although in Zhao Hongrun's view, the battle of Ningyi was actually unnecessary, and he was pitted by Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, but the Han people did not see it that way.

The turmoil caused by the Battle of Ningyi in South Korea was very serious, after all, after that battle, South Korea's Yanmen Shou Li Mu, Beiyan Shou Le Yi, plus the general Storm Kite, set three Beiyuan Ten Heroic Generals, and two of them were still Li Mu and Le Yi, who had never been defeated, did not defeat that Wei Gongzirun, and only fought a draw with the other party, it is conceivable that the Koreans panicked after learning about it.

A Wei Gongzirun is capable of rivaling the three great generals of Li Mu, Le Yi, and Storm Kite, so what about the famous generals of the Wei State such as Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Jiang Wei, the Wei general, Wei Ji, and the general Sima An? Just with South Korea, which has now been robbed by Lin Hu, Xiongnu, and Donghu, can it stop the elite soldiers of Wei?

What's even worse is that when he was in Shanyang County this time, that Wei Gongzirun didn't know whether it was because he was angry at the Korean general Ju Xin's three-day order to set troops after breaking the city, or because South Korea had previously reneged on the relationship with Wei, so he not only ordered the execution of Ji Xin, but also killed 20,000 Korean soldiers, which is tantamount to conveying a message to South Korea: Wei Gongzirun is very dissatisfied with South Korea! Quite dissatisfied!

In this case, if Wei Gongzirun completely defeated the Chu army and returned to Daliang, the situation would definitely be even worse at that time - although Li Liang and Du You were also very unkind to them, they would definitely be much better than Wei Gonggongrun, who was already strongly dissatisfied with Korea.

A peace agreement must be signed with Wei before Wei Gonggongrun returns to Liang.

Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo thought in unison.

Looking at the sincere and frightened appearance of these two people, Li Liang, the secretary of the household department, and Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, glanced at each other without leaving a trace, and secretly snickered: Even if Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, is not in Daliang at the moment, and the two Korean envoys Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo are sincerely frightened and on pins and needles, I really don't know what their expressions will be if these two people see the deity.

In the end, after Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sacrificed the intimidation threat of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo no longer dared to have any objections to the various demands put forward by Li Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so they could only agree to a huge amount of compensation.

However, Han Chao pleaded for this indemnity to be paid to Wei in the form of annual coins, one after another, after all, a huge amount of indemnity as Li Liang said was raised at once, even South Korea could not afford to pay it.

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement that South Korea would pay an indemnity equivalent to about 40% of its country's tax revenue for two years. In the third year, the quota will be reduced to about 30% of South Korea's tax revenue for another two years; In the fifth year, South Korea should pay about 20% of its own tax indemnity for five years - a full 10 years of reparations.

Of course, in fact, both sides know that this indemnity agreement will not be received for ten years, because after a few years of South Korea's recovery, refusing to pay compensation, will Wei still send troops to attack because of this? The cost of sending troops may be more than that.

Therefore, the real amount of compensation is mainly in the first few years, and South Korea has been weak in recent years, and there is no way but to pay.

In addition to the indemnity, Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, wanted to ask South Korea to cede Zhongmu in Handan County, compared with the indemnity, this requirement was a greater threat to South Korea, which means that in the future, South Korea will lose the natural danger of Taihang Mountain in the face of the direction of Shangdang County of Wei, and the Wei army can go out of Zhongmu at any time and force Handan.

But because the situation is stronger than others, Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo can only grit their teeth and agree.

At this point, the armistice between Wei and Han ended, and the third Wei-Han Northern Xinjiang Campaign came to an end.
