Chapter 687 The Book of Peace
On the second day, Zhou Gu, Ye Guixue, Cui Xingzhi, Cui Yanjin, as well as Zhou Shen and Zhou Che went to Xuzhou City to negotiate peace.
Su Rong, Xie Yuan, Zhang Yun and others sat in the rear.
Zhang Yun said to Su Rong with a smile: "Brother Zhou Gu told me that the princess has sent a letter back to the royal capital to let the king prepare for the wedding?" ”
Su Rong nodded, "Hmm." ”
Zhang Yun said with a smile: "Preparing for the big wedding is not an overnight thing, even if Brother Zhou Gu is in a hurry, the wedding between the princess and him will probably be half a year later." ”
Su Rong smiled, "Preparing earlier can also make him settle down early." ”
Zhang Yun sighed in his heart and sighed, "Brother Zhou Gu met the princess, and now he is not allowed to eat even the slightest grievance, which really makes me envious." ”
Everyone knows that if Yuanchen is taken hostage, it can be robbed, but the princess exchanged 200,000 gold, although it is not a loss, but in the end it is not as cost-effective as asking for a second prince of Dawei who has some real power.
Su Rong looked at him with a smile, "Don't worry, when you return to the royal capital, you who are with me are all sought-after goods, and there are also many high-ranking nobles in the royal capital of Southern Chu, who will squeeze your head and rob you to be the fast son-in-law of the east bed." ”
Zhang Yun supported his forehead, and after a while, he put down his hand and said with a smile: "The minister's vision is not good, and he will rely on the princess when the time comes." ”
Su Rong smiled and nodded, "It's easy to say." ”
Xie Yuan snorted lightly on the side, "Zhou Gu, that kid, is too anxious, the Southern Chu Dynasty is only stable on the surface, after you return to the royal capital, there are a lot of things to do, I'm afraid you won't be idle for a moment." Not to mention half a year, within a year, you can completely stabilize the Southern Chu Dynasty, which is considered fast. ”
"That's fine, isn't there a Ministry of Etiquette? Take the time to get married, you can always do it. Su Rong disagreed.
Xie Yuan laughed angrily, "In the end, it's a young man, it's just not calm enough." ”
Su Rong stuck out his tongue at him and didn't refute this.
The second prince of Great Wei, Yuanchen and Nangong Zheng, were still waiting outside Xuzhou City. I didn't see Su Rong come today, I only saw Zhou Gu and Ye Guixue, the two didn't say anything, after the two sides met, they still negotiated the specific terms and drafted the agreement.
Zhou Gu did not fake his hands, wrote it himself, listed all the conditions one by one, limited to Dawei within one month, ceded the four cities, delivered 500,000 gold, and horses and other conditions, and then wrote the date of writing, he wrote for ten years.
Yuanchen was shocked, "Why ten years?" ”
Zhou Gu looked at him, "Is it okay to sign for thirty years?" Aren't you going to tear up the peace treaty? It will be held for ten years, and after ten years, it will be discussed. ”
Yuanchen pursed his lips and turned his head to look at Nangong Zheng.
Nangong Zheng bowed, "Listen to the son of Thursday." ”
Dawei suffered heavy losses this time, and there was not much room for bargaining, ten years is not long, not short, so that both sides have time to breathe and grow and develop, but at the same time, they will also tighten the spell.
After Zhou Gu finished writing a copy, he copied one in a good mood, in duplicate, he put down his pen and said to Ye Guixue: "Brother Guixue, I've been busy for a long time, this signature and seal, you come." ”
Ye Guixue nodded, and did not shirk, "Okay." ”
He signed his name and stamped his own seal, then Yuanchen signed his name and his own seal, and finally both sides stamped their respective national seals.
After the discussion and booksigning, Zhou Gu curled his lips and looked at Nangong Zheng, "Nangong Zheng, it seems that Yuanzhao is really serious to you, the people of your Nangong family, from now on, it is best to be honest and honest, otherwise, if you come to Nanchu, I will kill one, and send them to the ancestral grave of your Nangong family, and be your ancestors." ”
Nangong Zheng's face was calm, "Zhou Gu, the revenge of the Nangong family, I will definitely avenge it." ”
"Okay, give you ten years." Zhou Gu turned over and got on the horse.
After taking the peace book, the group did not linger, and rode back to the city.
Yuanchen looked at the book of discussion and breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't help but worry about the treasury of Great Wei, the fiasco of Great Wei this time was an unprecedented shame in the history of Great Wei, who would have thought that once Great Wei fought Southern Chu and Great Liang, both countries could be aggressive and aggressive, but now, Great Wei let Southern Chu and Great Liang join forces and forced them into such a situation.
Nangong Zheng stared at Zhou Gu and the others and disappeared without a trace, and the hand in his sleeve was released, and said to Yuanchen: "Second prince, with the peace book, you can set off today, Nan Chu only gave us a month." ”
Yuanchen nodded, stood up, and held the peace book, "Okay, the main hall will leave today." ”
After Zhou Gu and the others returned to the city, Su Rong asked with a smile: "Are you back so soon?" ”
"If the conditions are negotiated, Dawei will naturally not change." Zhou Gu handed her the book of discussion and peace.
After Su Rong looked at it, he put away the book of discussion and the others, and then pondered: "Leave someone to guard here, let's leave for the royal capital tomorrow!" ”
"I'll stay here and keep watch." Zhang Yundao: "When Dawei sends tribute, I am withdrawing my troops back to the royal capital." ”
Su Rong thought that Zhang Yun was indeed safe, nodded and said to him, "Zhang Mao and Ning Ze also stay with you." ”
Cui Xingzhi said on the side: "Cousin-in-law, I will also stay." After all, he had to take over the cities ceded by the Great Wei and so on. There are fewer people left, and they can't be busy. Let Yan Jin go to the royal capital with you. ”
"Okay." Su Rong has no opinion.
Ye Guixue spoke: "It stands to reason that I should also leave ......"
"You take us back to the royal capital." Su Rong intercepted his words, "To stabilize the government, there are many things that depend on you." ”
Zhou Gu took over, "That's it, Brother Guixue, your Yexiang Mansion is the person who knows the Nangong family best, and now you can sweep away the stubborn diseases inside as soon as possible and restore the people's livelihood, many things depend on you." ”
Ye Guixue looked at the two of them, and knew very well that the two of them were in a hurry to get married, afraid that there would be too many government affairs piled up, and after returning to the royal capital, only the two of them were busy working, and with him going back, they naturally had to share a lot.
He nodded helplessly, "Indeed." ”
Su Rong turned his head again and said to Zhou Shen and Zhou Che with a smile: "Second brother, third brother, you will set off tomorrow and return to Daliang with 200,000 soldiers and horses!" The reason why Yuan Zhao agreed to Nan Chu so readily was to solve the threat of Nan Chu as soon as possible, and then negotiate peace conditions with Da Liang. But I didn't like him, you took 200,000 soldiers and horses, and went directly to the nearest road to the border between Great Wei and Great Liang. ”
Zhou Shen and Zhou Che nodded.
Zhou Shen said: "It's better for us to leave today." ”
Su Rong looked at Zhou Gu when he heard this.
Zhou Gu was not reluctant, and waved his hand, "Let's go, just today, stay one more day, our brothers also want to separate, and when the situation of the two countries is stable, you can also come to drink my wine." ”
Zhou Che smiled angrily and patted Zhou Gu on the shoulder, "You really didn't want to give up on us at all." ”
Zhou Gu muttered, "It's not the end of the world." ”
Zhou Che thought about it, so he and Zhou Shen said goodbye to Su Rong, Zhou Gu and others one by one, took 200,000 soldiers and horses, and left.
