Chapter 264: Additional Conditions

Xiao Yilin knew that Tuoba Liansheng was very belligerent, and Tuoba Liancheng was a moderate. For the sake of border stability in the future, of course, it is best for Tuoba Liancheng to inherit the throne of Northern Yan.

If Tuoba Liansheng stayed in the Jin Kingdom as a proton, then there would be no chance to return to Beiyan and Tuoba Liancheng to compete for the throne, so the possibility of Tuoba Liancheng ascending to the throne would be very high.

This can be regarded as a good sale for Tuoba Liancheng in advance.

Xiao Yilin wanted to understand everything and said, "Second Highness, it seems that you Beiyan are still sincere. This war was originally provoked by you Beiyan. We, Dajin, are just fighting back to teach you a lesson.

Since you have sued for peace, and are willing to cede to us three cities and the surrounding lands, as well as a million taels of gold, then we can accept your request for peace. But I have one more condition."

Tuoba Liancheng knew that they Beiyan would have to pay a lot for this peace talks, so he was mentally prepared and asked, "I don't know what other conditions His Royal Highness King Jing has?"

Xiao Yilin said, "My condition is that Tuoba Liansheng must return to the capital with me and stay in the Jin Kingdom as a proton for ten years. I think that with the pressure of the eldest prince Tuoba Liansheng, the life of the Second Highness in Beiyan is not easy.

If Tuoba Liansheng can't return to Beiyan, I think His Royal Highness has a great chance. We also want our neighbors to have a forgiving, moderate monarch. There will be less war in both countries, and there will be less suffering for the people of both countries."

Everyone is a smart person, and Xiao Yilin's words will know what it means to expand the city.

Tuoba Liancheng also heard what Jing Yi said just now in the tent, and he was very curious about who the handsome young man next to Xiao Yilin was, who could influence Xiao Yilin's decision, which made Tuoba Liancheng very curious.

And he felt that the teenager was very kind to him. The last condition put forward by the teenager was undoubtedly very beneficial to himself.

He didn't want his eldest brother to lose his life, but he also didn't want to live under the pressure of his eldest brother all the time. And in the future, as long as he competes for the throne, sooner or later he will turn against his eldest brother. It's better to let the eldest brother go to the Jin Kingdom to be a proton.

Xiao Yilin knew that this condition would also be known to other Northern Yan envoys, so he ordered his own soldiers to invite everyone into the Chinese army's big tent, and repeated the conditions just now in front of all the Northern Yan envoys. This is also to let Tuoba Liancheng avoid suspicion.

Tuoba Liancheng is a little grateful for Xiao Yilin's move.

At this time, several Northern Yan envoys in the tent who followed Tuoba Liancheng to negotiate peace all changed their faces when they heard Xiao Yilin's conditions. They were sent by the emperor this time to negotiate peace with the second prince with the Jin Kingdom, and one of the things they had to do was to redeem the eldest prince. Now it seems to be difficult.

At the beginning, the eldest prince was the main battle faction, and he tried his best to persuade the emperor to attack the Jin Kingdom. Now that Beiyan has been defeated, not only will he have to cede the land and pay compensation, but the eldest prince will also become a proton. I don't know what the eldest prince will feel when he knows this result.

In addition to the compensation given by Beiyan, Xiao Yilin put forward another condition, this condition Tuoba Liancheng did not dare to agree casually, he had to ask his father.

At the same time, there were other ministers who gave a recital to Emperor Beiyan, proving that the condition for letting the eldest prince go to the Jin State as a proton was indeed proposed by the Jin State first, and it had nothing to do with the second prince.

Emperor Beiyan was distressed and annoyed after receiving the recital from his second son and minister. At the beginning, it was the eldest son who strongly requested to attack the Jin Kingdom, but now that the war has been defeated, the Jin Kingdom is to punish him, the initiator.

Go to the enemy country to be a proton, how can life be better. But now the situation is stronger than people, and they have no right to refuse. Otherwise, Xiao Yilin is likely to lead a large army to attack his royal court.

Previously, the Jin State defeated Xiyan and received rich compensation, and the Jin State is now fully capable of supporting the continuation of the war, but they can't afford it in the Northern Yan.

Although Emperor Long Yuan was heartbroken, he also had to agree to Xiao Yilin's conditions. I only hope that they will show more goodwill with the Jin Kingdom in the future, so that the eldest son will have a better time in the Jin Kingdom.

A few days later, Tuoba Liancheng received the will of his father and agreed to Xiao Yilin's conditions.

And Xiao Yilin also reported the results of the peace talks between the two sides to the capital quickly.

Xiao Chenghan received his son's recital and happily praised Xiao Yilin in the court. After praising Xiao Yilin, he praised Jingyi again. Anyway, these two people are boasted of as if there is nothing in heaven and on earth.

The ministers below also followed to congratulate the saint, and then praised Xiao Yilin and Jingyi.

Many ministers also sincerely praised Jingyi. Many people think that the north and south sides of the Jin Kingdom were attacked before, and in the end, it was because An Lehou won the final victory.

The British Duke stood up and said, "Your Majesty, An Le Hou is really a hero of my Great Jin. He killed Liang Wei and many other generals of the Xiyan Kingdom in the southwest, and the Xiyan army was defeated and retreated, and he won back so much compensation for our Great Jin, which can be said to be indispensable.

This time, he found His Royal Highness King Jing alone, so that His Royal Highness King Jing could take advantage of the victory to pursue and take a large area of land in Beiyan. An Lehou, just like Your Majesty, what you said is really the lucky star of our Great Jin.

This time, An Lehou proposed to detain the prince of Beiyan in the capital as a proton, which is really a good idea. In this way, there are certain restrictions on Beiyan, which makes them have scruples. We will not easily provoke wars again."

Xiao Chenghan smiled, "This An Lehou's brain is really flexible, and he came up with such a good idea. This Tuoba Liansheng is a belligerent fellow, and he must be put under house arrest. Just like King Jing said, if the second prince of Beiyan, Tuoba Liancheng, becomes the emperor in the future, it will be very beneficial to us.

They all thought about it for so long. It's a long-term vision."

After the court meeting, Xiao Chenghan summoned several important ministers such as the Duke of England and the Duke of Dingguo to discuss matters.

The eldest prince of Beiyan will soon be brought to the capital, although he is a proton, but after all, he is the prince of Beiyan, and he can't be too harsh on others. It's better to be polite to each other. And you have to arrange a place to stay.

Northern Yan ceded three cities to the Jin Kingdom, and Xiao Yilin went to Xiangzhou City in Northern Yan with Tuoba Liansheng. Xiangzhou is a big city, and it is also the capital of Xiangzhou in Beiyan. It directly governed the two cities of Linzhao and Pingyang.

It was also a helpless move for Northern Yan to cede such a big city to the Jin State. Xiangzhou is sparsely populated, and there are not many large-scale cities, and these three cities are not too far apart. This will also allow for as little land as possible.

Xiao Yilin has calculated that they have already penetrated five or six hundred miles into Beiyan, and it is not bad to get three cities plus the surrounding land.

In the future, this Xiangzhou city will be the city of the Jin Kingdom close to Beiyan. Xiao Yilin felt that another border city should be built, which would be used to garrison the army first, and then slowly develop. In this way, if there is another war with Beiyan, Xiangzhou City can be spared the danger of directly facing the enemy country.

However, this is all a matter to be considered in the future, and what needs to be done now is to demarcate the boundaries clearly, so as not to have disputes in the future.

In this way, the copper mine that was discovered before can be well protected and can be mined secretly at any time.
