Chapter 392: Signing of a Peace Treaty

On the morning of the third day when Liu Ji decided to change the name of the Ju'an Army to the Broken Army, the peace envoy of more than 20 people from Meng Tai Suier, the prime minister of Gaochang State, secretly entered the city of Talas, which was being rebuilt, under the protection of a group of cavalry of the Broken Army.

Liu Ji was very happy to see that the Gaochang people had really sent someone to negotiate peace, and in the afternoon of the same day, in a newly built stone house on the site of the former Eastern Governor's Mansion, Liu Ji sent Xiao He to represent the entire army of the Broken Prisoners and began peace negotiations with Meng Taisuier, the prime minister of Gaochang State.

As soon as the prime minister of Gaochang State, Meng Tai Suier, came up, he opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Xiao, this prime minister is here with sincerity today, as long as your tortoiseshell army can withdraw from Sarma Province, Tatar Kelz Province, Kaminputai Province, Almaz Province, and Jezkazgan Province, and do not send troops to attack Timirtau Province, our Gaochang Kingdom is willing to cede Smosco Province, Balikun Province, Mazatag Province, Rudnei Province, Costa Province and Naikarek Province to your Hawkan Army, and will also give Zhu Qiguo, The suzerains of the Shiqu Kingdom, the Daosu Kingdom, the Onda Kingdom, the Qiwu Kingdom, the Dana Kingdom, the Yuanba Kingdom, and the Suju Kingdom are transferred to you. ”

When Xiao He heard this, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Prime Minister Mengtai Suier, just a few days ago, my lord has changed the name of the Jue'an Army to the Broken Army, and I feel that we should reveal some of the ongoing military operations of our Broken Army to Prime Minister Mengtai Suier. ”

Prime Minister Meng Tai Suier heard that the Jue'an Army was renamed the Broken Army, his brows furrowed slightly, Meng Tai Suier is still very good at the culture of the Jin State, the word Lu is a derogatory name for foreign races by the Jin people, plus Gao Changguo was beaten by the other party and had to cut the land to sue for peace, the word "Broken Army" seems to include Gao Changguo, which is simply a kind of contempt for Gao Changguo.

However, the situation faced by Gao Changguo now made Prime Minister Meng Tai Suier can only pretend to be confused, as if he did not understand the meaning of what the army was referring to, Meng Tai Suier did not have the energy at this time, and entangled with the other party on these small issues.

Xiao He continued: "A few days ago, my lord has ordered all the troops of the Broken Capture Army to march to the Tiemirtao Province and the other twenty vassal states of the Eastern Governor's Mansion of the Gaochang Kingdom. ”

Prime Minister Meng Taisuier's face changed, "Mr. Xiao, are you ...... Breaking the Captive Army, do you really want to fight to the end with our Gaochang Kingdom? Although the Eastern Governorate of our Gaochang Kingdom has existed in name only, our Gaochang Kingdom still has the three major Governorships of the South, the West and the North, as well as a number of provinces directly under His Majesty the King, with millions of soldiers! Mr. Xiao, don't take an inch of your army, otherwise you will probably steal chickens and rice! ”

Xiao He only smiled slightly in the face of the threat of Mengtai Suier, "Prime Minister Mengtai Suier, as far as I know, the army directly under the king of your Gaochang Kingdom is about 700,000, and the regular army of the three major prefectures in the south, west and north should add up to about 1.7 million, but because of the battle with our Broken Army, your king's army and the army of the three major Metropolitan Governors have lost at least 800,000 or 900,000, even if they are supplemented with new soldiers, their combat effectiveness is not the same as before, and our Broken Prisoner Army has also received a piece of news, It seems that the three governors of your country are unwilling to continue to fight with our Ji'an army, and if they lose the battle, the losses of their three governors will definitely be even heavier, but even if they can win, they will only make a wedding dress for the king of your Gaochang country. ”

Xiao He's words couldn't help but make Meng Tai Suier's eyes show a look of horror, how could these Jin people be so clear about the details of Gao Changguo, it seems that they can't scare these Jin people at all.

Prime Minister Meng Tai Sui'er coughed and said: "Mr. Xiao, your information is not very accurate, our King has agreed with the three major governors that once your Broken Army and our Gaochang Kingdom cannot negotiate and succeed, then our Gaochang Kingdom will gather the strength of the whole country and fight a bloody battle with your Broken Army to the end!" ”

Xiao He still said with a smile on his face: "Prime Minister Mengtai Sui'er, now our Broken Army has gathered about two million troops in the Western Regions, and there are almost one and a half million troops in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty and on the grassland, if Gao Changguo wants to continue fighting, our Broken Army is also willing to accompany to the end!" ”

Prime Minister Meng Tai Sui'er secretly swallowed his saliva, although he didn't know if there were 1.5 million troops in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty and on the grassland, but if the Broken Army collected the hundreds of thousands of captives captured in Salma Province this time, the strength of the Broken Army in the Western Regions would definitely exceed two million.

Previously, the three major prefectures of Gaochang State, the south, west, and north, had made it clear that they would not send troops to fight the Broken Army, so how could the 750,000 troops under King Mujshid's cobbled together army be able to resist the Broken Army, which had a strength of millions?

Prime Minister Meng Tai Sui'er hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wonder how the Broken Army can end this war with our Gaochang Kingdom?" ”

The smile on Xiao He's face instantly became even brighter, "The requirements of our Broken Army are very simple, the original fifteen provinces of the Eastern Governor's Mansion of Gaochang Kingdom and the twenty-eight vassal states will all belong to our Broken Army, and your Gaochang Kingdom will compensate our Broken Army for the military expenses of 30 million taels of gold, as long as you Gaochang Kingdom agrees to these two points, then our Broken Army is willing to sign a peace treaty with Gaochang State immediately." ”

"What! Fifteen provinces and twenty-eight vassal states are yours, and you will need 30 million taels of gold for military expenses! You are blackmailing, and we in Gaochangguo will never agree to it! Prime Minister Meng Tai Suier shouted angrily.

"Hehe, Prime Minister Mengtai Suier, don't get excited, negotiation, the most important thing is a word, since we have differences, then let's talk slowly, and we will eventually find a condition that we both agree on." Xiao He said in a slow voice.

In the next few days of negotiations, Xiao He and Gao Changguo's prime minister Mengtai Suier were almost in a state of swords, because the two sides had great differences and could not reach an agreement.

Early in the morning of September 1, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, before the peace negotiations between the two sides, Xiao He sent someone to the prime minister of Gaochang State, Meng Tai Suier, and sent a battle report.

On August 27, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the troops of the Broken Army completely captured the entire Timirtau Province, and the Gaochang ** team of the Tiemirtao Province, except for a small part of the Gaochang ** team that fled to the Shakhtinsk Province controlled by King Mujshid, the remaining 100,000 people, did not resist the Broken Army at all, almost as soon as the troops of the Broken Army arrived, the army of Gaochang State immediately opened the city gate and surrendered, many of the hundreds of thousands of Gaochang ** team have just fled from Sarma Province to Timirtau Province.

On August 28, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the 90,000 elite troops of the Eastern Governor's Mansion of Gaochang State, which had been besieging Anxi City, faced more than 200,000 broken army, and surrendered directly without a fight, and Anxi City fell into the hands of the broken army.

On August 29, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Breaker Army broke through Langley City, the capital of Langley Kingdom, and Langli Kingdom, which had a population of 800,000, was destroyed.

In addition, on August 29, the king of Tatar-Hubei directly chose Kaesong to surrender in the face of the 100,000 broken army that attacked the capital city of Tatar, and the Tatar country, which has a population of 1.2 million, will also submit to the feet of the broken army in the future.

Five of the weaker vassals of the former Eastern Governorate were also captured by the Breakers on August 29.

On August 30, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, Jiyuan City, the capital of Jiyuan State, was broken by the Broken Army, and the Jiyuan State, which had a population of 600,000, was destroyed, and four other small countries were also destroyed by the Broken Army on this day.

On the morning of 1 September, after the two sides began to negotiate, Meng Taisuier, the prime minister of Gaochang State, held the battle report sent by Xiao He in his hand, and shouted angrily: "How can you break the captives and launch a large-scale attack while the negotiations are in place? This is immorality! ”

Xiao He shrugged his shoulders and said, "During the negotiations between the two sides in the past few days, our Broken Army has not promised not to launch a military operation. ”

Prime Minister Meng Tai Suier then shouted: "In the negotiation of peace, the two sides stop military operations, this is the custom!" ”

Xiao He spread his hands again and said, "That's really embarrassing, this convention is completely unclear to me and the Broken Army." ”

Prime Minister Meng Tai Suier gritted his teeth and said, "This prime minister asks you immediately!" Right away! Stop all military operations! Otherwise...... Otherwise, the consequences of the breakdown of negotiations will be the responsibility of your army! ”

Xiao He sighed and said: "If the peace negotiation is not reached, our Broken Army will not stop attacking, and our Broken Army is willing to bear the responsibility for the breakdown of negotiations, then Mengtai Suier, please go back and tell King Mujshid of your country, we will see you on the battlefield!" ”

Xiao He's tough words instantly made Prime Minister Meng Tai Sui'er's anger disappear without a trace, Meng Tai Sui'er said to Xiao He with a wry smile: "Mr. Xiao, can your Broken Army back down a little more, the current conditions of your Broken Army, especially the so-called military expenses, His Majesty the King will not agree to it no matter what." ”

In the past few days of negotiations, Xiao He has lowered the conditions of the Broken Army a lot, and the Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisacos Province occupied by the army under the command of King Mujshid, the Broken Army can do without, but the other thirteen provinces of the former Eastern Governor's Office, as well as the twenty-eight vassal states, Gaochang State must recognize the legitimacy of the occupation of the Broken Army, and Gao Changguo must also compensate the Broken Army for the military expenses of 10 million taels of gold.

Xiao He pondered for a moment and said: "There are too many people who have died in this war, I really don't want to see more people die, so let's do my best, I try my best to persuade my lord to remove the military expenses of 10 million taels of gold, and the various departments of the Broken Army that are currently attacking those vassal countries of the Eastern Governor's Mansion can almost be described as overwhelming, if you Gaochang Kingdom really want to end this war, don't be entangled in those vassal countries, I don't think it will take three days, all the original vassal countries of the Eastern Governor's Mansion will have to be captured by our Broken Army." ”

Prime Minister Meng Tai Sui'er was relieved when he heard that Xiao He was willing to remove the military expenses of 10 million taels of gold, and immediately said: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, if there is no need to compensate for the military expenses, then His Majesty the King may agree to other conditions." ”

Immediately today's negotiations were temporarily suspended, Prime Minister Mengtai Suier directly sent people to ride fast horses, returned to the capital Gaochang City, and asked King Mujshid to ask for advice on whether to agree to the conditions offered by the Broken Army, and in addition, Prime Minister Mengtai Suier also wrote a letter to King Mujshid, persuading King Mujshid to endure the humiliation and agree to these conditions of the Broken Army, which was already the most favorable conditions that Mengtai Suier could strive for.

After Xiao He said goodbye to Prime Minister Meng Taisuier, he came to the two-story stone building where Liu Ji was, "My lord, fortunately, Gao Changguo should agree to the conditions we offered!" ”

Liu Ji immediately said: "Mr. Xiao has worked hard! It's a pity that we didn't have all of the fifteen provinces of the Eastern Governor's Mansion in our pockets this time! ”

Xiao He said with a smile: "My lord, handing over the Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province, and Lisakos Province to Mujshid, the king of Gaochang State, is likely to play an unexpected role!" The strength of King Mujhid of Gaochang Kingdom has surpassed any of the other three governors of Gaochang Kingdom, and now he has obtained three new provinces, and King Mujshid's strength is equivalent to a higher level, and King Mujhid has always had the intention of abolishing several governors, maybe it won't be long before our army has another chance to pick up cheap. ”

Liu Ji gritted his teeth and said: "Being able to sign a peace treaty with Gaochang is equivalent to giving the Western Regions Protectorate time to develop steadily, thirteen provinces and twenty-eight vassal states, it is enough for the Western Regions Protectorate to digest for a long time, and I will talk about it later, if there is a chance, our Broken Capture Army will not be a watcher." ”

After receiving the letter sent back by Prime Minister Mengtai Suier, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, Mujshid smashed several tea bowls in a row, but in the end, King Mujshid still had a calm face and asked people to write a reply to Prime Minister Mengtai Suier, agreeing to the conditions offered by the Broken Army.

On September 10, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, Xiao He, the representative of the Broken Army, and Meng Taisuier, the representative of the Gaochang State, formally signed a peace treaty.

This peace treaty stipulates that from now on, the state of war between the Broken Army and the Gaochang State will end, and the 13 provinces, including the Salma Province under the former Eastern Governorate of the Gaochang State, will be ceded to the Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Great Jin Dynasty under the Broken Army.

Zhu Qiguo and other 28 vassal states of the former Gaochang State Eastern Governor's Office, as well as 46 independent city-states attached to the Eastern Governor's Office, will have nothing to do with Gaochang State in the future, and these 28 vassal states and 46 independent city-states will be owned by the Great Jin Western Regions Protectorate.

In addition, the two sides also demarcated that the boundary of one hundred and fifty miles west of the province of Jezkazgan was to the east, and the eastern part belonged to the Western Regions of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the western part belonged to the territory of the Gaochang Kingdom.
