0929 Luoshui Oath
"The ministers are guilty, and they are respectful to the holy judgment!"
Hearing the emperor's indignation, everyone in the palace was busy and all of them paused on the ground and replied.
When Gao Yang heard this, he went down to the hall, grabbed a few people and beat them with their fists, and then returned to the palace after venting like this, and then sighed not without melancholy: "If you have the intention to kill the thief, you will not allow me." Helplessly, the enemy is timely, and the Guanxi is raised, is it a self-improvement plan? The former made the mediocre mislead me, so that the division and brigade could not continue, and I had to temporarily forbear. When my situation is at peace, I will go to kill him myself!"
When several people heard this, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Although the emperor's tone was still very fierce, since he said so, he also showed that he was willing to accept the reality and would not continue to invest in personnel and materials to maintain the war in the short term.
Because of the arrival of a few people, Gao Yangshangke's mood became extremely bad, and after the matter was tentatively settled, he waved his hand and asked everyone to step back and discuss a plan before coming to play, leaving Yang Su alone.
"Your Majesty......"
When everyone withdrew, Yang was about to speak, but the wind suddenly rose in front of him, and he was kicked by Gao Yang, and he was still struggling to get up, but Gao Yang stepped forward and trampled on the ground, and at the same time, the emperor's angry roar sounded in his ears.
"Dog thief, I paid you the state affairs, is it to make you a mouthpiece slave of others! The Heluo war has its own person, and King Changshan rashly predicted that it was already illegal, not only did you not admonish him, but went to Jinyang with him to force him, what is his intention!"
Although Gao Yang has given people the impression of becoming increasingly crazy and moody in recent years, there are still deep logical considerations under the extremely exposed emotional changes.
Jinyang used to be the location of the overlord, but now it is a military center, and he needs to sit in charge for a long time. And Yecheng, as the national capital and political center, also needs people who are really worthy of his trust to stay and preside, and there is no doubt that Yang Yu is such a person.
For Yang Su, on the one hand, Gao Yang is extremely gracious, and all state affairs are pushed to be done, and trust can be said to be overwhelming. On the other hand, he was not unafraid of Yang Su, especially disgusted with Yang Su's close contacts with the ministers of the clan.
This time, Yang Su went to Jinyang with Changshan Wang Gao Yan without asking for instructions in advance, and what he wanted to report was something that made Gao Yang feel very irritable. Although the difficulties stated by everyone are real, it still seems to Gao Yang's ears that the ministers are uniting to create a dilemma and put pressure on him.
This feeling naturally made Gao Yang disgusted and vigilant, and what made him even more dissatisfied was that Yang Su, who was his number one confidant, was actually involved, so after retiring everyone else, he deliberately left Yang Su to be sanctioned.
"The minister doesn't dare, the minister's heart is loyal to this heart, in order to repay the monarch's father!"
Yang Su's whole person was trampled on the ground and couldn't turn around, but he touched the ground with his forehead and said quickly: "Heluo's defeat is indeed unexpected, and the enemy general Li Boshan sent an envoy to ask for an alliance, so there is no chance to turn around. Fang Jinguo is indeed in trouble, and it is also a wise move to repair it temporarily. The reason why the minister rushed to Jinyang to ask for a meeting was just to play Your Majesty, don't use King Changshan to go south to dominate the alliance!"
"Oh? Why can't King Changshan?"
When Gao Yang heard this, his face was slightly angry, and he asked with a deep look in his eyes.
He removed the legs and feet that were trampling on Yang Su's back, and bent down to pull up Yang Su who was lying on the ground, and personally helped Yang Su pat the dust and footprints on his front and back back, as if it was just a pair of bad friends playing and fighting just now, not a violent king who had murderous intentions towards the ruling minister.
Yang Yu was also a little accustomed to getting along with the emperor, and did not mind the past, but replied seriously: "This time the army went south to Heluo to fight Xiqiang, and the death of the black otter can be described as a great joy for the country, in addition to this old enemy, the whole country can celebrate. As for the setbacks in the follow-up events, how can it be a national shame that those involved are not able to do their best and are subject to the enemy?
Although Li Boshan is a fierce general of his country, he is not a native of the west after all, and he has no feud with our country, and he is just a powerful man in the Western Dynasty. Whoever stands in his way will be an enemy, even though the black otter of his own will inevitably be. Now that he is in a hurry to go west and make friends with me, his intentions can be seen. Only now that the Heluo Division Brigade is still under the intimidation of its troops, if the king of Changshan talks about solving the difficulties, the soldiers will inevitably be disgusted by his personal favor and ignorant of justice......
People are in the current situation, and everyone has each
Personal position and demands. Yang Su, as the number one confidant of Qi Lord Gao Yang, naturally didn't want a king like Changshan Wang Gao Yan to have too strong a sense of presence in the current military and political system. And the reason why he hopes that the imperial court can make peace with Li Boshan this time is not only based on the current national conditions.
From the perspective of state power, Li Boshan, as a general of the enemy country, is naturally a great enemy that needs to be strictly guarded against. But putting aside the position of the regime, Li Boshan is the most outstanding representative of the famous family in the world today, and he himself is a peak that the family has reached in the current situation since the Beizhen Mutiny.
As the prime minister of Northern Qi, Yang Su naturally did not have any thoughts of collaborating with the enemy. However, the relatively unbalanced balance of forces in the country also made him have to consider it more comprehensively.
Although at present, because of Emperor Gao Yang's consistent and strong approach, the contradiction between the Xianbei warriors and the Han courtiers has not been highlighted, this does not mean that the contradiction does not exist. People need to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and Yang Su did not have too many choices in the past except to be loyal to the emperor, but now he sees another possibility.
Now it seems that Li Boshan is very likely to become the new leader of the Kansai Tyrant. Once he ascended to the throne, emotionally speaking, it was difficult for those Xianbei nobles to despise and bully the Han people and the powerful people in a group manner.
In addition to these psychological and emotional changes, when Li Boshan was located in Kansai, the living space of the members of the world in the whole world was improved.
In the past, because the Northern Qi Dynasty was more prosperous and powerful, it attracted most of the members of the Kwantung clan to work here, but now Li Boshan is located in the Kansai region, and the attraction of celebrities has also skyrocketed. Although the Western Wei Dynasty was still weak compared to the Northern Qi, Li Boshan had always won a strong battle with the Northern Qi, and his personnel and personnel were inevitably more favorable than the political environment of the Northern Qi.
If the Northern Qi Dynasty wants to retain these family talents, it will inevitably tilt more political resources to the members of the Kwantung family, which will also affect the pattern of domestic political forces in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Moreover, Li Boshan's reconciliation with the Northern Qi Dynasty can be regarded as opening a new way of communication between the two countries, which is no longer blindly hostile and has space for peaceful coexistence. In this way, the external military intensity of Northern Qi will be reduced, and after the demand for war is reduced, it will further squeeze the voice of Jinyang nobles.
All these are all the reasons why Yang Su wants to promote this peace talks, and if this matter can be achieved, it may change the power pattern of the entire world. Although this is only Yang Yu's beautiful vision, it is also worth working hard to realize it.
Gao Yang was not as comprehensive as Yang Su imagined, and when he heard Yang Su say that he came to Jinyang because he was worried that King Changshan would take the opportunity to ask for something to buy people's hearts, he also forgave Yang Su in his heart.
After pondering for a while, he pushed Yang Su and said, "Since you have this awareness, don't go to the council to discuss the matter quickly, don't let Yu Zi take away the matter!"
When Yang Yu heard this, he hurriedly bowed and retired, and then hurriedly withdrew from the hall.
Gao Yang returned to the hall again, first read the music submitted by several people, and then put in a pen and paper, and personally copied all the words of a few people who came to the palace, and took the records and comparisons of the attendants in the palace.
Immediately, Gao Yang threw away the pen and paper, pointed at the waiter in the hall and laughed: "The dog slave is not going to quickly enter the wine and summon the beauty to serve!"
In response to Li Boshan's request for peace, the Jinyang side soon made a decision, and took Hebalen, the king of Anding, who had been removed for his crime last year and punished into Jiafang as a slave, as the Taibao, and led the delegation to Heluoxiang and the alliance.
After the Northern Qi delegation led by He Baren arrived in Heyang, Li Tai also made relevant arrangements here, and he himself sat in the city of Baiting, and negotiated with the Qi envoy on behalf of Yu Jin, who remained in Kim Yong City.
The chaos of the situation in Guanzhong was beyond Li Tai's imagination, but Duan Shao, who was guarding Jiuqu City, still had a considerable number of troops, and it was difficult to break through its city in a short time. In order to be able to return to Guanzhong as soon as possible to control the situation, Li Tai could only temporarily give up his plan to continue to expand the results of the battle.
Because both sides had the need to stop the war and strike the troops, the negotiations went relatively smoothly. It's like a prisoner exchange
The hostages, including those dependents left behind in Jinyang when He Bayue led his troops westward, were not returned by the Northern Qi Dynasty, and relatives left behind in Guandong, such as Yuwenjia and Dugu Xin, could take this opportunity to go to Guanzhong.
It is obvious that it is impossible for Northern Qi to agree to completely cede the Heluo region, although Li Tai has actually occupied most of the Heluo region, but it is difficult for him to stay here for a long time It is also a situation that both sides are aware of, and the Northern Qi naturally refuses to give in.
So the two sides repeatedly entangled with this for several days, and finally reached a resolution that the Western Wei returned the Heluo fortress such as Kim Yong Cheng, while the Northern Qi returned the Luoshui garrison such as Jiuqu City, and demolished and no longer built additional military fortifications in Yique.
The territory of the two sides generally returned to the state before the war, and the Northern Qi paid an additional 60,000 stone of grain and 20,000 horses of silk to consume the military expenses of Li Tai's troops in Heluo.
Such conditions are naturally a bit humiliating for Northern Qi, but if you want to send troops to recover Heluo, the consumption of money and food will inevitably be several times this, and it will be difficult to organize a large army to continue to go south this winter.
When the Turks retreat in the spring of the next year, it is unknown whether Duan Shao's tens of thousands of horses can be saved in this process. And after the reimbursement of these money and food, the nearly 10,000 prisoners of war in Li Tai's army will also be returned to the Northern Qi. Although it is not very good-looking on the face, the benefits are great.
Although there are a lot of Jinyang soldiers, they can't help the consumption of tens of thousands. Especially after the Guanxi town soldiers were exhausted, they rose to Li Boshan, and when the Jinyang soldiers were disabled, the Jinyang nobles would have to explain soon.
The reason why Li Tai was willing to return these prisoners of war was also because Yiyang, Heyang and other places also detained a large number of Guanxi soldiers, and he fought in Heluo for so many days, of course, he also had to bring these Guanxi sons back to their homeland. What's more, those Jinyang soldiers and prisoners have also been actively exposing and accusing Hu Lujin of their crimes in the past, and when they attack Jinyang in the future, they can also print some leaflets from their previous confessions and spread them around Jinyang.
As a result of the oath made by the elders of the two countries, Ho Batren, and the two elders took an oath on the shore of Luoshui south of Kim Yong City, the relationship between the two countries was no longer incompatible and entered a new stage.
As the implementation of the covenant began one after another, Li Tai also led a team of elite soldiers to Tongguan first, preparing to enter the customs to settle the chaos and take charge of the overall situation.
