Chapter 570: Negotiation
Soon, a horse-drawn carriage drove from Hanoi County into the territory of Shang Dang County and went straight to Gao Du. And sitting in the carriage was the uneasy former Han prince Liu Xi.
At this time, this Shanyang Gong was extremely worried in his heart, and even a little panicked. Especially his sensitive identity, he has no sense of security surrounded by a group of Han troops.
He had heard from Cao Wei a long time ago that his father had been officially recognized by Ji Han as dead for more than ten years, and he even gave his nickname. In this case, Liu Xi is very worried about his fate.
The main reason is that Ma Tan's strategy is too fast, as if it conquered the entire state in the blink of an eye, and advanced the front to Hanoi County. Liu Xi didn't even have time to run away before he was intercepted by Jiang Wei.
Soon, the carriage was escorted by a group of Han cavalry and came to Gaodu. Liu Xi, who had been nervous, finally met the famous Han hussar general Ma Yan.
"Liu Xi, Duke of Shanyang, have seen the general!" Liu Xi was still a little sensible, and directly called himself Shanyang Gong, wanting to see what Ma Yan's attitude was.
If they had murderous intent, Liu Xi estimated that he was afraid that he would be missing.
But fortunately, Liu Xi's fantasy of Ma Jian smashing the cup did not appear. Not only that, Ma Jian also seriously avoided the table and returned the salute, and said resolutely,
"What Shanyang Gong! You are the only surviving prince of Emperor Xiaoshu, and you are the prince of the Later Han Dynasty! The pseudo-Wei coerced the filial piety emperor to usurp the throne of the Han Dynasty, and shamelessly humiliated the Duke of Fengshan Yang, I am afraid that you have suffered a lot in the pseudo-Wei over the years, right? ”
"And I also heard that Emperor Xiaochou has actually been assassinated, and the one who died two years ago was a stand-in for the pseudo-Wei to cover up people's eyes, is it true?"
And there is one thing to say, which cannot be completely true. At the very least, Liu Xie's position is indeed the result of Cao Pi's coercion and temptation.
"That's right! At the beginning, Cao Pi coerced and lured, and even did not hesitate to force his father to let him go! In less than half a year after Chanrang, they suffocated their father with a quilt......"
"Oh, yes, a month!" Liu Xi nodded and said quickly and seamlessly.
Ma Yan's quick series of questions made Liu Xi look confused. However, after many years of Shanyang Gong's treatment, he can be regarded as a little political wisdom, and he quickly understood Ma Yan's hints.
To be honest, it is still against filial piety to talk nonsense with such eyes open. But right now, with Ma Tan's kind gaze at him, he can't care so much.
Finally, after some secret talks, Liu Xi got his lines right. Later, under the hint of Ma Tan, Liu Xi volunteered to go to Chang'an, and in the future, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty handed over the mandate of the unification of the Han world to Liu Chan.
After all, what the people of the world can accept is willing Zen concessions, not usurpation by coercion and temptation. And as the prince of the former dynasty, if he admits this matter, it will be a big blow to the pseudo-Wei.
Come on, this is the intention to use me as a signboard, and to veto the legitimacy of Cao Wei's mandate to take over the mandate of heaven.
"I think it's a month after the usurpation." Ma Jian intimately reminded him, don't go to Chang'an when the time comes, there will be no bugs.
In the final analysis, as long as Liu Xi doesn't talk nonsense, his existence is extremely beneficial to Ji Han. Therefore, after completing the handover of the Mandate of Heaven, there is still no need for Dahan to extinguish his mouth.
Of course, in exchange for the same, Ma Jian swore extremely seriously in his own honor that he would never cross the river and tear down the bridge. In the future, Liu Xi will be crowned the king of Shu, the king of Yizhou, and all the benefits of the pseudo-Wei seal will be sealed by Ji Han five times.
Thinking of this, Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, it seems that Ji Han still values his value very much, and he will not be disappeared for the time being.
After instructing Liu Xi, Ma Tan ordered someone to escort him back to Chang'an for the final process. At the same time, Ma Tan finally received information that the Wei army had launched a counterattack against Ji Han.
Fortunately, under Zhuge Liang's personal conquest on the southern front, the hearts of the people in Nanyang quickly stabilized. The 150,000 Wei troops were frozen to death in Nanyang, and they did not have the size of the work.
On the other hand, the 100,000 Wei troops who attacked Hongnong along the ancient road of Yanhan also began to retreat towards Luoyang Yin at this moment.
If it weren't for the blockage of Hanoi County in front, Ma Jian would probably have been able to hold this group of Wei troops in the Baier Qin Pass long ago.
"Why hasn't Sima Wang come yet?" Ma Tan couldn't help but ask.
"General Yu, General Hou is still on his way on horseback, and he should be here in two days."

Before and after Liu Xi was escorted to Chang'an, the later general Sima Wang also came to Gaodu to meet Ma Yan. Not only that, but the one who came with him was Chen Yi, who had already entered Shangshutai!
Chen Yi was ordered to serve as the assassin of the state, and also brought Liu Chan's edict. In the edict, Liu Chan ordered Ma Tan to continue to stay in the state, and at the same time lead the soldiers and horses of the state to push the front forward as much as possible.
Because Shang Shutai has already straightened out the finances and come to a conclusion. After the autumn harvest next year, the Han will be able to officially gather the grain for the Eastern Crusade, and then the Han will begin to conquer the war in the Kwantung region.
At present, it is necessary to prepare for the Eastern Expedition in advance, so Ma Jian will not be able to return to Chang'an for a short time.
Ma Jian didn't care about this, anyway, where to fight is not to fight. Instead, what he valued was whether Sima Wang could solve the problem of Hanoi for him.
"Zichu, most of the Hanoi Wang clan is now resisting my Han Dynasty, can you represent the Han Dynasty and negotiate with them?"
"If I really can't talk about it, I'm afraid I'll have to run over it......"
For this question, Sima Wang was obviously confident, and immediately replied.
The hussar general was serious, and the matter was not as troublesome as expected. The vast majority of the Hanoi wang clan are actually oriented towards the Han Dynasty, but they are worried about it at the moment, so the resistance is more fierce. ”
"As long as the general sends someone to negotiate with him and give him the conditions for surrendering, the great wang clan of Hanoi will be very happy to serve Hanchen."
In fact, the current stubborn resistance of Hanoi County is still due to the rapid progress of Ma Tan. Before the Hanoi nobles were ready to bet on both ends, Ma Jian had already hit the doorstep.
Because the conditions have not yet been negotiated with Ji Han, most of the Hanoi Wang clan are worried about surrendering, so they stubbornly resist.
And Sima Wang, who is also from Hanoi, knows the urine nature of these fellow villagers very well, and as long as they are willing to talk, their interest in surrendering is definitely higher than anyone else.
"Really...... It's not that we can't talk about it. Ma Tan shook his head slightly, and then looked at Sima Wangdao with a straight face.
"This matter will be arranged by Zichu, and the big Hanoi wang clan will come to negotiate."
"But I have to say in advance that even if you accept surrender, there are conditions, and many bottom lines cannot be crossed. If there are some conditions that they can't accept at all, then it's better not to come at all, lest everyone look bad on face! ”
