In a palace in the imperial palace of Mengyuan City, the capital of Lu State, Jiang Sheng, the emperor of Lu State, couldn't help but sigh secretly after listening to the words of Zhang Xiang, the commander of Black Butterfly, in fact, Jiang Sheng also knew that it was impossible to send the Broken Army with only 10 million taels of gold, even if the war between the Broken Army and the Great Wan Kingdom in the Western Regions was not over, but the Broken Army still had the possibility of continuing to attack the Lu State.

Emperor Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment and asked Liu Mian, the commander of the military department, and Zhang Xiang, the commander of the Black Butterfly, "What conditions do you say the Broken Army can accept?" ”

Liu Mian, the commander of the military department, and Zhang Xiang, the commander of the black butterfly, were slightly relieved when they heard that the emperor Jiang Sheng was relieved, and Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, then said: "Your Majesty, the four requirements put forward by the Broken Army are indeed too harsh, and of course it is impossible for our Lu State to accept them all, but what is the bottom line of the Broken Army, we don't know it now, we can only test the bottom line of the Broken Army little by little through negotiations with the Broken Army, and try to end this war with the Broken Army at the lowest cost." ”

Black Butterfly commanded Zhang Xiang and said, "Your Majesty, although the conditions proposed by the Broken Army are very harsh, we can completely suppress the demands of the Broken Army through negotiations. ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng sighed and said, "Then let's talk to the Broken Army first!" Let the various reorganized regiments of Xianzhou, Jiezhou, Shangzhou and Yanzhou hurry up to train during the period of negotiation between the two sides, and in case they can't reach an agreement, they will have to rely on the various legions of these four states to resist the invasion of our Lu State by the Broken Army! In addition, let the garrison troops of each state continue to recruit young and strong, if the army is determined to attack our Lu country, with only tens of millions of troops in the four states, I am still a little worried. ”

Liu Mian, the chief lieutenant of the military department, immediately said: "Your Majesty, this negotiation with the Broken Army is related to the national fortune of our Lu country, so the minister is ready to go in person!" ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng nodded slightly and said: "Indeed, as Taiwei Liu said, this negotiation with the Broken Army is very important, it seems that I can only work hard with Taiwei Liu, and I will keep in touch with Taiwei Liu with carrier pigeons!" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best to safeguard the dignity and interests of our Dalu country!"

In a council room in the governor's mansion in Ningbo City, Zhejiang, Zhang Liang said to Liu Ji: "My lord, there is news from the Lu State that the Lu State has sent Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, to prepare to negotiate an armistice with our broken army. ”

Liu Ji said with a smile: "It seems that the several big battles of our Broken Army in the southeast have really hurt the Lu people, and in this negotiation with the Lu people, we must try our best to bite off a few more bites of meat from the Lu people!" ”

Guo Jia immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, this time looking at the attitude of the Lu people, the harvest of our captive army will definitely be not small." ”

Liu Ji nodded with a smile, and then said: "Although we are not ready to continue to attack the Lu State, but the troops in the seven southeastern states and the eight states such as Lu and Jiang, the main force cannot leave for the time being, and at this time, we have to rely on the millions of troops of our Broken Army to deter the Lu people, but the war on the side of the Western Regions Protectorate is still in a state of stalemate, so the Governor of the Western Regions is ready to lead a group of cavalry troops to return to the Western Regions Protectorate immediately, and as for the negotiation with the Lu people, it will be handed over to the gentlemen." ”

Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, and several other top ministers in the council hall looked at each other, and then Zhang Liang said: "Lord, now that the war in Xiangzhou, the capital of the Western Regions, the initiative is still in the hands of our army, it is better to wait for us to completely end the war with the people of the Lu country, and then the lord will lead the troops to the capital of the Western Regions, in that case, the lord can take away at least three or four million troops." ”

Liu Ji waved his hand and said: "This Metropolitan Governor only needs to take away 18,000 Tiger Ben troops and 10,000 Xuanjia soldiers this time, as for the other troops, there is no need to move for the time being, this Metropolitan Governor has secretly sent a large number of elite troops to the capital of Dawan Kingdom, ready to let the people of Dawan Kingdom taste the pain of the capital being occupied again!" ”

After several major battles, Liu Ji brought the Han Dynasty Tiger Ben Army and the Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers to the southeast, each losing about 2,000 men.

As soon as Liu Ji finished speaking, many top ministers in the conference hall couldn't help but be stunned one by one, and they were all frightened by Liu Ji's words.

Guo Jia hurriedly asked: "Lord, which elite troops have you sent to the capital of Dawan Kingdom, why don't we know any news?" ”

Liu Ji smiled slightly, "It's all an elite unit secretly formed by the Governor of Ben, and it's not in the sequence of the Broken Army. ”

Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord, although you led your troops to capture Dawan City once, but this time Dawan Kingdom must have enough troops in Dawan City, it is better for the lord not to take risks himself." ”

Jia Xu followed and said: "Lord, according to the news we got from Heishuitai, Dawan Kingdom has always left two cavalry legions and ten infantry legions in and around Dawan City, if the number of elite troops sent by the lord to Dawan City is not large, it will be difficult to replicate the last miracle." ”

Liu Ji said very confidently: "Gentlemen, rest assured, since the Governor of the Metropolitan is ready to seize Dawan City again, there must be a great deal of certainty, and the gentlemen will wait for the good news of the Governor!" ”

Of course, Liu Ji is confident, you must know that he is in the system, but he has more than 1.5 million elite soldiers in reserve, with so many elite soldiers, as long as Liu Ji can safely infiltrate Dawan City again, then Dawan people will once again taste the pain of the capital being captured.

Seeing Liu Ji's confident appearance, all the top ministers in the council hall knew that Liu Ji's mind had been decided, and they said that no matter how much they said, they would not let Liu Ji change his decision to go to Dawan City to take risks in person.

Zhang Liang pondered for a while and said, "Lord, what is the bottom line in your heart for the negotiation with the Lu people?" ”

Liu Ji immediately said: "The four-point truce request we put forward to the Lu people this time, of which the first, second and fourth points, you can negotiate anything, but the third point, we must insist!" ”

The third request put forward by the Broken Army is to let the Lu State move all the families of the captured soldiers to the Jin State, you must know that the soldiers and generals of the Lu State captured by the Broken Army are more than five million, which is five million young people, and Liu Ji will never return these five million people to the Lu State.

Moreover, among these five million people, many of them are elite veterans, and there are even puppet bodyguards like Qin Junmao and Sun Gu who have the strength of peerless military generals.

Among the generals of the Lu State captured this time, there are as many as ten fierce generals with peerless military strength, including Qin Junmao and Sun Gu, and there are more than 20 Lu generals with the strength of top generals, who have also become prisoners of the Broken Army.

Zhang Liang nodded and said: "What the lord said is extremely true, if the Lu State can hand over the families of those prisoners of war to our Broken Army, it will not only allow our Broken Army to get at least tens of millions of people, but also let these more than five million Lu prisoners of war join our Broken Army with all their hearts." ”

Early in the morning of April 2, 433 of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji left the city of Ningbo in Zhejiang with 18,000 Han Dynasty tiger soldiers and 10,000 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers, as well as more than 200 puppet bodyguards, and dozens of generals of the Broken Army.

The place of negotiation between the Broken Army and the Lu State was finally set in Ningbo City, and Liu Mian, the chief lieutenant of the military department, traveled almost day and night all the way, and arrived in Ningbo City on April 8.

Liu Mian, the captain of the Lu State Army, was not too anxious after setting off from Mengyuan City, the capital of the Lu State, but Zhang Liang, Guo Jia and others concentrated the millions of troops of the broken army in order to put pressure on the Lu State, and suddenly entered the territory of Xianzhou in the Lu State and surrounded the two county towns in Xianzhou, which made the Lu people suddenly panic, and Liu Mian, the captain of the Lu State Military Department, had to rush all the way to Ningbo City, and launched hard negotiations with Zhang Liang, Guo Jia and others.

On April 12, in a palace in the imperial palace of Mengyuan City, the capital of the Lu Kingdom, Zhang Xiang, the commander of Black Butterfly, respectfully handed a piece of paper to Emperor Jiang Sheng, "Your Majesty, Taiwei Liu has sent back the news, and after several days of negotiations with the Broken Army, the armistice conditions of the Broken Army have finally been suppressed a lot. ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng took this piece of paper and looked at it, his face became more and more ugly, the truce request of the Broken Army changed from four points to three points, and the point of ceding Xianzhou, Jiezhou, Shangzhou and Yanzhou to the Broken Army has been removed, and now the three points, the first is to ask Lu to compensate the Broken Army 60 million taels of gold, the second is to ask Lu to move all the families of the captured soldiers to the Jin State, and the third point is to marry Jiang Huan, the princess of Jingxiang of Lu State, to Liu Ji.

Seeing that Emperor Jiang Sheng's face was getting more and more ugly, Zhang Xiang, the commander of the Black Butterfly, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, the Broken Army declares that this is the last condition of the Broken Army, if we do not agree to these three requirements, the Broken Army will carry this war with our Lu State to the end." ”

When Emperor Jiang Sheng heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Could it be that I am still afraid that the army will not be able to break the captivity!" The Broken Army is going to fight, and I am willing to accompany it! ”

Black Butterfly Commander Zhang Xiang hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry, then it is better to let Taiwei Liu talk to the Broken Army again, and see if the Broken Army can make some more concessions." ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng took a deep breath at this time, "Zhang Xiang, you go down first, let me think about this condition of the Broken Army, since the Broken Army has already said that it is the last condition, then it should be difficult for the Broken Army to make concessions." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister retired first."

After Black Butterfly commanded Zhang Xiang to leave, Emperor Jiang Sheng picked up the three-point armistice conditions sent by Liu Mian, the commander of the military department, and couldn't help but sigh a long sigh, and then Jiang Sheng came to another palace in the palace.

"Father, how come you have time to come to me today?" Princess Jingxiang Jiang Huan asked Emperor Jiang Sheng in a coquettish voice.

Emperor Jiang Sheng looked at his favorite daughter, and said with an embarrassed face: "Huan'er, you ...... Have you had lunch yet? ”

Jingxiang princess Jiang Huan not only has the color of the city, but also the ice and snow smart, seeing the emperor Jiang Sheng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he immediately knew what happened to his father, and the four-point truce request put forward by the army has spread all over the government and the opposition of the Lu country.

Princess Jingxiang Jiang Huan asked with a smile: "Father, could it be that in the armistice conditions proposed by the Broken Army this time, they still require their daughter to marry Liu Ji?" ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, Huan'er, I will never agree to this request of the Broken Army, I would rather cede one or two states to the Broken Army, and I will not let Huan'er marry Liu Ji!" ”

Princess Jingxiang Jiang Huan said in a coquettish voice: "Father, my daughter is going to marry after all, and Liu Ji is a hero in the world, and my daughter's marriage to Liu Ji is not an insult to my daughter and our royal family of Lu State, and it can also prevent the people in our Lu State from suffering from war." ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng was silent for a moment and said: "But Liu Ji already has thousands of wives and concubines, and there are as many as three wives alone. ”

Princess Jingxiang Jiang Huan said: "Father, presumably if my daughter marries Liu Ji, she will also have the status of a wife, right?" ”

"Of course, Huan'er is the princess of our Lu country, and she must be the status of a wife!"

"Father, according to the current momentum of the Broken Army, Liu Ji will ascend the throne sooner or later, so that the daughter will have the opportunity to compete for the position of queen of the Jin Kingdom, and even if the daughter gives birth to a son, she will have the opportunity to inherit the unification of the Jin Kingdom."

When Emperor Jiang Sheng heard this, a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said to Jiang Huan, the princess of Jingxiang: "Huan'er, I will definitely prepare the most generous dowry for you, and I will also select a group of beauties from our Lu country as your dowry." ”

Princess Jingxiang Jiang Huan smiled slightly, "Even if the father doesn't say it, the daughter is ready to ask her father for more beauties, since Liu Ji is lustful and her daughter wants to compete for favor by Liu Ji's side, then she needs some helpers." ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng's face had turned from gloomy to sunny at this time, "Don't worry, Huan'er, my father will definitely find you some more powerful helpers." ”

On April 15, 433 of the Great Jin Dynasty, Zhang Liang, the representative of the Broken Army, and Liu Mian, the representative of the army sent by the Lu State, formally signed an armistice agreement in the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion in Ningbo City, Zhejiang.

In this war, Lu lost millions of troops and millions of strong men, and also lost Luzhou, Jiangzhou, Fenzhou, Zezhou, Xianzhou, Daizhou, Lanzhou and Xinzhou, after signing the armistice agreement, Lu will also lose at least tens of millions of people, as well as 60 million taels of gold war indemnity, and at the same time, Princess Jingxiang, who is known as the first beauty of Lu, will be given to Liu Ji.

In this war, the Broken Army took the territory of fifteen states at once, not counting the cities and six counties of Meizhou, Yuzhou, Guizhou, Yuzhou and Leizhou obtained from the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Broken Army became the biggest winner of this war.
