From the map of Dahan. Wuzhou, located in the southeast corner, is undoubtedly very far away from the Jin Kingdom. Of course, if you want to say that the farthest place from the Jin State has to be Rinan County in Jiaozhou (which has reached the south of Vietnam) Even the envoys sent by Wuzhou have arrived in the Jin Kingdom, and it is conceivable that some other states that are closer to the Jin Kingdom, such as Jizhou and Yanzhou, have been in Jinyang City for how long the envoys they sent have been in Jinyang City.

The envoy Xin Ping sent by Yuan Shao, the envoy Xun You sent by Cao Cao, the envoy Lu Su sent by Sun Jian, the envoy Dong He sent by Sima Fang, and the envoy Yang Hong sent by Yuan Shu were all to exchange the captured soldiers or generals from Zhao Xing.

The envoy Huan Jie, the envoy sent by Liu Yan, Zang Hong, and the envoy Liu Yi sent by Gongsun Du, came to congratulate the King of Jin on behalf of the three forces. In private, he came to curry favor with Zhao Xing, hoping to do business with Jin Guo and get some benefits.

Wang Xiu, the envoy sent by Kong Rong, and Mi Zhu, the envoy sent by Tao Qian, two old acquaintances of Zhao Xing, came to Jin to deepen their relationship with Zhao Xing, and also to discuss how to let the Qingxu army return to Qingzhou and Xuzhou smoothly. Now, Kong Rong and Tao Qian have clearly felt the ill-intentioned gaze from Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and other forces, and it may not be long before they will be attacked by one party.

Gongsun Fan, the envoy sent by Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Xiu, the envoy sent by Dong Zhuo, and Han Sui, the envoy sent by Ma Teng, these three people are purely here to support Zhao Xing. Because the results of the war between Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng in Liangzhou have not yet spread, these envoys do not have inside information.

The central court of the Han Dynasty is also because Wang Yun has already sent an envoy once some time ago, and he has not sent any envoys to the Jin Kingdom recently.

In any case, all the states in the world, except for Jiaozhou, which is far away in the south, because the news is too closed and the road is difficult, the rest of the states have sent envoys to the Jin Kingdom, which is also the situation that Zhao Xing needs. Now, although it is not possible to talk about the coming of all nations, it can be regarded as lively. Some things negotiated on the surface, when there are many people, there is a comparison with each other, which is a good opportunity for Zhao Xing, who is used to doing business, to sit on the ground and raise prices.

After consulting Zhao Xing, Yingbin Yuan set the time for the meeting between Master Taifu and representatives of all parties on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. In order to prepare for this meeting, Zhao Xing deliberately asked the largest wood furniture factory in Crouching Tiger City to make a large round table that could sit around many people. Zhao Xing, who has always had some bad tastes, said this time that he was going to hold a "round table meeting", which corresponded to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and took a good omen of "spending a good moon".

Some envoys, who had been waiting anxiously, greeted Zhao Xing's family many times in their hearts. This negotiation is naturally a "good moon" for the Jin State, but for the forces represented behind these envoys, it is a "cut and reorganized" conference.

On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the second year of Guangxi, envoys from all quarters, surrounded by a large group of intern reporters sent by the "Jin Daily," the "Shangdang Morning News," the "Taihang Evening News," the "Business Daily," and the "Crouching Tiger Science and Technology News," came to the venue specially built for the peace talks.

Alas, this Zhao Xing is really able to make the whole scene and have a good talk, and he actually has to invite many "mouthpieces" to record on the spot. This time, as long as it is something that is finalized at the meeting, if anyone does not implement it, it will definitely be known to the world, and in the future, because of his dishonesty in others, he will be ridiculed by the people all over the world.

The meeting finally began, as the host of Zhao Xing, first made a "warm" speech: "Everyone, welcome to the beautiful and lively Jinyang City in the golden autumn and August, on behalf of the three million fathers and villagers of Jinguo, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and warmest welcome to all of you!"

......

In the expressions of the envoys, whether they were indifferent, curious, or enthusiastic, Zhao Xing finally ended his speech, and a battle without gunpowder smoke finally began.

The first to attack Zhao Xing was the envoy Xin Ping sent by Yuan Shao. Xin Ping strongly protested the Jin state's practice of soliciting a large number of people from Jizhou, saying that this practice greatly damaged the good-neighborly and friendly relations between Jizhou and the Jin state. Zhao Xing replied with a smile, legs grow on the people, people are willing to come to our Jin Kingdom, can't they cut off their feet, right?

The two argued for a long time without results, and in the end, Xin Ping still put the most important purpose of this trip on the table. Xin Ping demanded that the Jin state release the captured brothers Zhang Nan and Zhang Xu, as well as 2,000 Jizhou soldiers, and as compensation, Jizhou sent Sima Zhi back to the Jin state. Zhao Xing stood up and was furious at that time, saying that with more than 2,000 people in exchange for a Sima Zhi, it is also a loss for you Jizhou to dare to think. Sima Zhi is an official appointed by the imperial court, not your Jizhou goods, while Zhang Nan, Zhang Xu and two thousand captives are the spoils of the Jin State, and there is no reason to exchange them at all.

After some arguing, Xin Ping, on behalf of Yuan Shao, agreed to open several large iron mines to the Jin State, let the merchants of the Jin State organize manpower mining, and sent Sima Zhi back as a VIP gift, Zhao Xing promised to send Zhang Nan and Zhang Xu back. As for the 2,000 captives, they have to ask for their own opinions, and those who are willing to return to Jizhou can go back, and those who are unwilling to go back will be forgotten.

As soon as the negotiations between Jin Guo and Jizhou ended, the reporters gathered around immediately sorted out the news and immediately released it to the outside world.

Next, Zhao Xing negotiated with Cao Cao's envoy Xun You, and the process was basically the same as the previous round of negotiations. But because Cao Hong was Cao Cao's brother, and because the Jin State had a large number of soldiers who captured Yanzhou, Zhao Xing held a heavy weight, so Cao Cao could not avoid being slaughtered by Zhao Xing several times.

Xun You, on behalf of Cao Cao, accepted the Jin State's request to open a gold bank, a trading store, and the purchase of some mineral resources at a parity in Yanzhou, in exchange for the freedom of Cao Hong and thousands of Cao army prisoners.

As soon as the negotiations between the Jin State and Yanzhou ended, the reporters gathered around quickly sorted out the news and immediately released it to the outside world.

During negotiations with Sun Jian on behalf of Lu Su, Zhao Xing demanded that Wuzhou provide the Jin State with 200 skilled shipwrights in exchange for Zu Mao's freedom;

In negotiations with Dong He, Sima Fang's representative, Zhao Xing demanded that Yizhou provide a large amount of herbs (ingredients used in the manufacture of Yunnan Baiyao) and sulfur in exchange for the freedom of Zhang Yi and thousands of Yizhou soldiers;

In negotiations with Zang Hong, Yuan Shu's representative, Zhao Xing demanded that Yangzhou, like Wuzhou, provide 200 shipwrights to the Jin State in exchange for the freedom of 2,000 Danyang soldiers. The Jin State successively captured 4,500 Danyang soldiers under Yuan Shu, but 2,500 people refused to return to Yangzhou, so they stayed in the Jin State. These two thousand five hundred people were injured and abandoned by Yuan Shu, but were treated by the Jin State.

In talks with Liu Biao's representative Huanjie, Liu Yan's representative Zang Hong, and Gongsun Du's representative Liu Yi, Zhao Xing agreed to open up some Jin goods to trade, such as livestock, books and paper, agricultural equipment, etc., in exchange, these states opened the trade of minerals and grain to the Jin State, and allowed the people to move to the Jin State.

During the negotiations with Kong Rong's representative Wang Xiu and Tao Qian's representative Mi Zhu, Qingzhou and Xuzhou enjoyed the agreements reached between the Jin State and other states, and Zhao Xing made it clear that he would arrange for the Dragoon Army to escort the soldiers of the Qingxu Volunteer Army back to Qingzhou and Xuzhou safely. The specific route of the march was from the Yellow River in the territory of the Xihe River by boat, along the course of the Yellow River to Gaotang Port in Qingzhou Pingyuan County, and the Sili area, Yanzhou and Xuzhou that passed along the way were not to be intercepted.

As for Zhao Xing, Zhang Xiu, Gongsun Fan, and Han Sui, the agreements reached at the meeting were more extensive and in-depth. There are many astonishing decisions, such as the ability to transfer officials from the three regions to each other, the free movement of ordinary people, the unified issuance of currency, the uniform standard of various units of measurement, the absence of checkpoints between each other, and the absence of trade taxes......

The envoys of the other forces all felt that after Zhang Xiu, Gongsun Fan, Han Sui and others returned, they would be cut off by their respective masters because of the bastard agreement they signed.

After a long and arduous meeting, the "round table" finally came to an end in the evening. Many envoys did not care to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation dinner specially prepared by Zhao Xing, and hurried back overnight, wanting to report the content of this meeting to their respective lords as soon as possible.

The complacent Mrs. Zhao was interviewed by Cai Wenji, a special beauty reporter of the "Jin Daily", at the reception dinner, and introduced with great interest: "No matter the envoys from the south to the north, as long as they come to our Jin Kingdom, they are all guests. Jin Guo has always been courteous to its guests, as can be seen from the fruitful results reached at this round table......"

The next day, the front page of "Jin Bao" picked up Zhao Xing's original words: "All people come from the south to the north", and made an enthusiastic report on the "round table".
