96. Mingjin negotiations

After drinking a cup of tea, the atmosphere instantly became serious.

"I don't know how Prince Xu wants to cooperate with our Dajin Kingdom?"

Jin Prime Minister Zhang Hao spoke first.

"I know that your Jin Kingdom has just experienced a great upheaval, and you don't have enough strength to intervene in our southern affairs!"

"And since I, Xu Xian, led the Northern Expedition, I have never confronted your current emperor, Wanyan Yong!"

"And when your King Ge did not succeed to the throne before, the terms of the Yellow River as the boundary with the Song Dynasty were also signed by my Xu Xian entrusted to you, which can be regarded as an agreement between my Xu Xian and your current emperor!"

"Although I, Xu Xian, have crusaded against Yan Liang, I have never crossed the Yellow River and violated the original agreement!"

"So I want to continue the agreement with your Jin Kingdom on this clause that used to be bounded by the Yellow River and everyone will coexist peacefully in the future, I wonder what your country thinks?"

Xu Xian said the words after some careful consideration by himself.

"Lord Xu!"

"Isn't it time for you to finish fighting Yan Liang together?"

"Don't you know that what the Emperor of the Song Dynasty discussed with us was to use the original Huai River as the boundary, and also added the terms of ceding Haizhou and Xiangyang, and our Emperor of the Dajin Kingdom did not agree?"

"You use such sincerity to negotiate with our Dajin Kingdom, are you fooling our Dajin Kingdom?"

Zhang Hao immediately expressed his dissatisfaction and stood up directly.

"As far as I know, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is to let you send troops to fight against me Xu Xian on his behalf, so he came up with such conditions to lose power and humiliate the country!"

"And I heard that it was the Song Emperor who did not agree to cede the two cities of Haizhou and Xiangyang, which led to the lack of progress in your negotiations!"

"Why did you come to Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, and it became that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty agreed to cede the two cities of Haizhou and Xiangyang, and your Emperor Jin did not agree?"

"Could it be that the prime minister wants to fool me Xu Xian?"

Xu Xian immediately stood up and retorted, and his momentum did not lose at all.

"You... How do you know about our negotiations with the Song people? ”

"Where the hell did you know that?"

Zhang Hao saw that Xu Xian actually knew about his negotiation with the Song people, so he was naturally puzzled.

"Where did I know, so I won't bother you, Prime Minister!"

"I just want to know, Prime Minister, do you Jin Guo really want to negotiate with my Daming?"

Of course, Xu Xian knew that Prime Minister Jin Cheng also hoped to reach a reconciliation with him, otherwise he would not have greeted him with such a great etiquette in person.

"If Ben Xiang hadn't really negotiated with you, he would have sent troops to arrest you a long time ago!"

"Why waste saliva here with Lord Xu?"

Zhang Hao's attitude softened a little.

"Since you Jin Guo sincerely want to negotiate with my Da Ming, then you should sit down and talk about something practical and useful like I Xu Xian, instead of talking like the lion just now!"

Xu Xian clearly indicated.

"Good!"

"Lord Xu, what you just mentioned is to take the Yellow River as the boundary, and our Dajin Kingdom will never accept it, after all, you also know that what the Emperor of the Song Dynasty promised us is to use the Huai River as the boundary!"

Zhang Hao began to sit back calmly.

"You want to divide the border of the Song people with the Huai River as the boundary, where will your Jin State let me live in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Didn't you force our Ming to continue to fight with your Jin Kingdom?"

"Now that the Song people have been delaying the deployment of troops to attack our Daming, don't they just hope that your Jin Kingdom and our Daming will lose both sides, and they will come to reap the benefits of the fisherman, could it be that the prime minister can't see through this?"

Xu Xian stated the pros and cons.

"As long as you are willing to sincerely cooperate with our Jin Kingdom, our Jin Kingdom can give you five years, as long as you withdraw from Huaibei and Guanzhong within five years!"

"In the past five years, our Jin Kingdom will definitely not send troops to fight against you, nor will we compare your previous attacks on our Jin Kingdom, and you can use these five years to compete with the Song Emperor!"

"I don't know if Lord Xu thinks it's feasible?"

Zhang Hao began to change the conditions.

"As I already said, I attacked your Jin Kingdom before, and the crusade was against the Senseless Emperor Wan Yan Liang, and I have not been hostile to your current emperor!"

"What do you mean that your Jin Kingdom is still using this as a condition?"

"You also threatened me to withdraw from Guanzhong and Henan within five years, may I ask if Guanzhong and Henan were brought down by your current emperor?"

"These places, but they were all taken by the soldiers in my hands from the hands of Wanyan Liang's old department with blood and sweat, how did they become the territory of your current emperor?"

"And our Central Plains land, including the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, was plundered by your Jin people, when will you Jin people return these lands to our Han people?"

Of course, Xu Xian was dissatisfied with Prime Minister Jin's condition.

"Lord Xu, according to what you said, it seems that there is no need for us to talk about it!"

Zhang Hao couldn't bear it anymore.

"Since you Jin Guo don't have the sincerity to talk about it!"

"So be it!"

After Xu Xian finished speaking, he got up and left.

"Lord Xu... Walking! ”

"Stay!"

"Stay!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Xian walked to the gate of Zhang's mansion, Zhang Hao chased after him again.

"How?"

"Didn't the prime minister want to talk about it?"

"What are you going to do with me staying?"

"You want to hold us hostage!"

"Let me tell you, even if you kidnap me, my army in Luoyang will go north at any time to avenge me!"

"Yue Lin, Yang Poyu!"

Xu Xian said, and immediately motioned to the two of them to show their weapons.

"Lord Xu, don't worry... Don't worry! ”

"I have no malicious intent, I want to persuade you to go back and continue to negotiate well!"

Zhang Hao felt explained.

"What else is there to talk about?"

"You have no sincerity at all!"

"There's no need to talk about it!"

Xu Xian's attitude was very tough and he was ready to continue leaving.

"Our Jin State can promise to fulfill the treaty with you on the Yellow River, and we will not require you to return Henan and Guanzhong within five years, but ......!"

"But this detail still needs to be discussed carefully!"

Zhang Hao lowered his posture.

"Good!"

"This is what you said personally, Prime Minister Zhang!"

"Then let's go back and talk!"

Xu Xian also understands that this is probably the most ideal condition that can be achieved now.

So Xu Xian returned to the courtyard and negotiated with Zhang Hao, the prime minister of Jincheng.

"Your Jin Kingdom actually asked us to send troops to deal with the Song Dynasty before we were willing to sign a treaty with us?"

"Don't you believe us?"

After another discussion, when it came to the issue of sending troops, Xu Xian was a little dissatisfied.

"After all, this is the first time we have cooperated, how about Lord Xu, you have to show some sincerity first, right?"

Zhang Hao explained.

"Then what sincerity do you have in the Jin Kingdom?"

Xu Xian immediately questioned again.

"Isn't our sincerity a contract?"

Zhang Hao responded.

"Of course not!"

"If you want us to take the lead in sending troops to fight against the Song Dynasty, you must provide us with the horses and baggage we need, and show the sincerity that your Jin Kingdom should have!"

"After all, when the Liao State and the Northern Han Dynasty jointly attacked the Later Tang Dynasty, they personally dispatched a large army to help them destroy the Later Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Jin Kingdom asked us to help you crusade against the Song Dynasty, and if you don't provide an army, why don't you even give us horses and baggage?"

At this time, of course, Xu Xian understood that he was already in a dominant position in the negotiation, and he could pit Jin Ren a little, of course, a little more.
