When Yang Lian returned to Honglu Temple, it was already the middle of the moon, and there was silence all around, and even the birds were asleep.

After several Praetorian Guard guards sent Yang Lian to Honglu Temple, they left in a hurry. Yang Lian looked at the backs of several Praetorian Guards leaving, thinking that this matter had finally come to an end, no matter what Liu Zhiyuan thought, he finally agreed to Yang Lian's request, this treaty was signed, and for Datang, it was very cost-effective both in terms of face and lining.

After coming to Kaifeng for nearly half a year, the matter was finally done, which made Yang Lian breathe a sigh of relief, but also wanted to rush back to Jinling as soon as possible, and he still had a lot of things to do.

Yang Lian walked to the residence, pushed the door and entered, and saw that there was a candlelight inside, Fu Jinzhan supported his face with his hands, and fell asleep on the desk, there were several dishes on the desk, and it seemed that it was cold. Yang Lian's push on the door woke Fu Jinzhan up, she wiped her face, and when she saw that it was Yang Lian, she couldn't help but smile.

"You're back?" Fu Jinzhan said, just like the little daughter-in-law of later generations, she was very happy to see her husband come home.

Yang Lian walked up with a smile, took off a piece of hair from her face for her, and said, "How long have you been waiting here?" ”

"It seems that you are here at the time of the time, General Lin, they said that you entered the palace to find the Son of Heaven." Fu Jinzhan said, suddenly remembered, and said, "You're hungry, I'm just a hot meal." ”

As soon as Fu Jinzhan said this, Yang Lian suddenly felt his stomach growling, couldn't help touching his stomach, and said with a wry smile: "I'm a little hungry." "Negotiating with Liu Zhiyuan is a matter of wits and courage. Although Liu Zhiyuan is about to enter the ground, after all, he is the king of a country and a generation of heroes, so how can he get along well.

Fu Jinzhan heard Yang Lian's stomach rumbling a few times, couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, walked to the side of the desk, put the food in the food box, and said, "You wait a while, I'll come when I go." Without waiting for Yang Lian to speak, the person had already walked out.

Yang Lian couldn't help but smile when she saw her leaving in a hurry, she was originally a lady, and she would actually do such a thing at this time, she really fell in love. After negotiating with Liu Zhiyuan for a long time, he also had a stinky sweat on his body, which had not completely dried up at this time, and his clothes were wet and sticky to his body, so he was not uncomfortable. Yang Lian planned to take a bath first.

At this time, it was only the weather in February, although the weather was warmer, but it was still cold, but Yang Lian was used to taking a cold shower, so he took a bucket and went to the well to fetch water, and took a bath in the bathing room. The cold water flush was poured on the head, sliding over the skin, and a cold feeling made Yang Lian get a lot of goosebumps. Yang Lian picked up the handkerchief and rubbed it vigorously, and soon his skin became rosy.

After a simple wash, Yang Lian changed into clean clothes and went out. Back in the house, Fu Jinzhan had already set up the meal, and seeing that Yang Lian's hair was still wet, he hurriedly stood up, found a clean silk scarf, handed it to him, and said, "It's dark at night, be careful of catching a cold, or wipe it." ”

Yang Lian took the silk scarf and was a little unimpressed, but since it was Fu Jinzhan's kindness, it was not easy to refuse, so he smiled and wiped the water stains on his hair.

"Come, eat while it's hot." Fu Jinzhan said, served a bowl of rice for Yang Lian, and found a pot of wine, filled a glass for Yang Lian, and let him drink to ward off the cold.

"You eat some too." Yang Lian said.

Saying this, Fu Jinzhan also felt a little hungry, so he nodded and sat down to eat. Fu Jinzhan ate very slowly, as if she had something on her mind.

Yang Lian looked at it in his eyes, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Marigold, I see that you are depressed, you might as well say it if you have anything on your mind." ”

"Nope." Fu Jinzhan shook his head, but he was obviously uneasy.

Yang Lian suddenly smiled and said, "But do you want to meet the festival?" ”

Fu Jinzhan Meimu glanced at Yang Lian with a look of surprise and said, "How do you know." ”

"Fu Jiedu entrusted you to me, and I will naturally take good care of you." Yang Lian said.

Fu Jinzhan shook his head and said, "It's not this that the concubine is worried about. If you don't have a certain understanding of you, how can the concubine be willing to go to Jinling? ”

Yang Lian had a clear expression and said with a smile: "I understand, you are worried about Fu Jiedu's safety, in fact, as early as a few days ago, Fu Jiedu had already left Kaifeng, and it must be not far from Xuzhou at this time." ”

"Really?" Fu Jinzhan watery eyes widened, when did his father leave, this Yang Lian didn't say a word.

Yang Lian slapped his forehead and blamed himself: "There have been a lot of things in the past few days, and I actually forgot to tell you." ”

Fu Jinzhan saw that Yang Lian said sincerely, not like a fake, so he immediately nodded, his appetite improved a little, and he began to eat food.

Yang Lian said with a smile: "I have already negotiated with Liu Zhiyuan, the peace treaty between the two countries will be signed in these days, presumably I will be able to return in mid-February, anyway, I will go back to Xuzhou, so I will stay in Xuzhou for a few more days." ”

Fu Jinzhan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and then there were faint tears rolling in her beautiful eyes, she nodded, and said, "Thank you Young Master Yang!" ”

Yang Lian and Liu Zhiyuan's negotiation set the tone that night, and then things became extraordinarily simple, Liu Zhiyuan ordered his henchmen to draft a peace agreement, and sent it to Honglu Temple to Yang Lian, Yang Lian naturally did not dare to be sloppy, and personally read the contract word by word, confirming that Liu Zhiyuan did not play any conspiracy between the lines, and then put his mind at ease.

After reading the contract with Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie, both of them nodded in agreement, thinking that this contract, Datang is taking advantage, if Your Majesty gets the news, it must be Longyan Dayue, presumably several people who sent the Han this time, after returning to Jinling, can be added to the rank and have more rights.

Yang Lian also showed the contract to Fu Jinzhan, after all, the relationship between the two is already extraordinary, and Yang Lian knows that Fu Jinzhan is not an ordinary person, she also has a certain understanding of the political situation, and she also wants to listen to her opinion, after all, this peace agreement is still a draft, and it has not been completely finalized and can be modified.

Fu Jinzhan was very satisfied with the content of the peace treaty, which not only opened discussions between the two sides and exchanged ideas, but also signed a military alliance, one north and one south, and demarcated their respective spheres of influence.

The Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence was extremely wide, starting from the Qinling Mountains in the west, along the Yangtze River to Jiangling, and then to the northern territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, all southern regions were the Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence, including Wuyue, Southern Han, Chu, Fujian, and even Nanping, Shu and other places. If the Tang Dynasty mobilizes troops against these countries, the Han Dynasty must not send troops to intervene, and if necessary, the Han needs to cooperate with the actions of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, with so many countries, it is impossible for Datang to swallow them in one gulp, and if he launches a battle to unify the south, he will not be able to control what difficulties he faces.

The Han Dynasty's sphere of influence is relatively simple, in addition to the current territory under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, the northwest Longxi and even the Western Regions, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are the spheres of influence of the Han Dynasty, of course, whether the Han can recover these places is another matter.

Fu Jinzhan looked at the covenant and thought it was feasible, but she also put forward her own key, it seems that from the perspective of the course of history, there has not been a case of unifying the north from the south, and the reason for this is that the people in the north are fierce and their combat effectiveness is very strong, while the south has always been relatively weak and has poor combat effectiveness.

Fu Jinzhan doubts Yang Lian naturally knew that five generations ago, except for Liu Yu who had fought in Guanzhong and the Central Plains, no one seemed to have achieved better achievements than him. However, Yang Lian has no better way to do this, the geographical location determines that Yang Lian's strategy can only be so, Yang Lian can only start from other aspects, such as improving the combat effectiveness of the army, improving weapons, and even at the right time, forming an alliance with the Khitans, after all, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, as long as Yang Lian can finally recover the sixteen states of Youyun, drive away the Khitans in the northeast, and drive away the party members in the northwest, it will be very successful.

Once the peace agreement was drawn up, the next thing was much easier, Liu Zhiyuan stamped the jade seal on the contract and signed his name. Yang Lian also took out the big seal given to him by Li Jing and also signed his name, and this matter was basically done. As for when Liu Zhiyuan will announce it, Yang Lian can't control it.

After the peace agreement was signed, Yang Lian asked everyone to pack their luggage and prepare to return to Jinling. During this time, Yang Lian went to Zeng Yiling first, and asked her to prepare more, she didn't stay in Jinling for a while, I am afraid that there will be a new situation, and everything must be investigated clearly, especially for Li Hongji and Han Xizai's party, their every move must be mastered.

Zeng Yiling was a little dissatisfied with Yang Lian, Yang Lian came to Kaifeng to negotiate, and when she went back, she actually brought a delicate beauty, how could she not be angry? And what's even more odious is that he actually let himself do this and that, did he forget that each other is only an ally, not a subordinate relationship?

Yang Lian only smiled slightly at Zeng Yiling's dissatisfaction, he didn't expect that so many things would happen when he came to Kaifeng, thinking about the old monk's evaluation of Fu Jinzhan , Yang Lian's heart was not itchy, of course, after this period of getting along, Yang Lian also had a good impression of Fu Jinzhan , otherwise he would never agree.

Zeng Yiling's matter was not mentioned, Yang Lian took the time to find Liu Chengyou again, telling him that the matter had been done and that he was about to return to Jinling.

Yang Lian told Liu Chengyou a thousand times, telling him that now as a prince, he naturally can't do things according to his preferences, and he must consider the consequences in everything, and in the Han Dynasty, there are not many people who can make Liu Chengyou trust, although Su Fengji is a heavy minister, but he is greedy and inactive, likes to kill, and has a bad relationship with Guo Wei. You can use their relationship to clamp each other, find a balance, and wait until the power is in your hands, and then slowly sort it out.

As for Shi Hongzhao, this person is also a loyal minister, but he has a violent personality and loves to form a party with martial artists, a few days ago, in order to establish a prince, the relationship with Su Fengji has eased, although Yang Lian does not understand why Shi Hongzhao did this, but he still warned him that before he grasped the power, Shi Hongzhao could bear it, after all, this person is also a good general, and he is very brave in battle, and he can be used.

As for Guo Wei, Yang Lian told him that this person can also be used, but his wife and children must be placed in Kaifeng, and no matter what happens, the lives of Guo Wei's wife and children must be guaranteed. Yang Lian vaguely remembered that in history, it seemed that Liu Chengyou killed a group of people, such as Yang Wei, Shi Hongzhao, Wang Zhang and others, which made Guo Wei panic, and at this time, Liu Chengyou killed Guo Wei's family again, which strengthened Guo Wei's rebellious heart.

As long as Guo Wei has no objections, how many more days can the big man last. This is Yang Lian's idea, it's just that it is in the sky to make things happen, how much Liu Chengyou can listen, Yang Lian can only resign himself to fate. (To be continued.) )
