"Governor, do you think Xie Zhan will promise to give Zhuozhou to us Pingzhou?" Xue Xu asked with some reluctance.

"No, it won't." Lu Songli's answer was neat.

Xie Zhan should be able to perceive their true intention of Pingzhou to attack the East China Sea, how could he be willing to make additional concessions if he grasped this.

Moreover, after Xie Zhan returned to the imperial court, he had an extra mother-in-law on his head, and he could not make full decisions.

Xie Zhan wanted to use the suppression of the southern rebellion as his political capital to return to the court. They Pingzhou were able to take advantage of this and put forward conditions for him to mediate in front of the emperor.

"Once the conditions we put forward exceed the bottom line they can bear, Emperor Dali will definitely not agree."

The cession of Zhuozhou touched Song Mo's bottom line.

Song Mo is quite crazy.

Even if Zhuozhou was replaced by the land of the East China Sea, for Song Mo, cutting it is cutting it. The cession of Zhuozhou means that he will admit that the imperial court is inferior to Pingzhou, which is more uncomfortable than killing him.

Therefore, the conditions for ceding Zhuozhou were smoke bombs from the beginning, which were used to confuse Song Mo and Xie Zhan.

Xue Xu also understood.

Let's go back to the East China Sea.

The negotiations were conducted under the witness of more than 200,000 soldiers.

Pingzhou was willing to use the land of the two counties obtained in the East China Sea in exchange for people of all walks of life who were detained by the Dali imperial court.

Among all the people, the one who touched the most was the Sun family army led by Sun Congyi.

Since beating them Sun Jiajun secretly voted for Pingzhou, Sun Congyi and the others are most worried about their families in Chang'an.

He received a letter from his father the time ago, saying that most of his family members had left Chang'an under the arrangement of Pingzhou, but his grandmother and other older generations chose to stay in Chang'an in order to make the younger generations possible.

Sun Congyi knew that his grandmother and others were the most difficult to rescue.

He didn't expect that in order to rescue his grandmother and others, the governor was willing to take out two counties in exchange for the Dali court.

Sun Congyi secretly thought that today Pingzhou sacrificed two counties for them, and he will expand the territory for Pingzhou and lay more cities for Pingzhou!

After the results of the negotiations came out, Xie Zhan said that he would repair a letter and ask the emperor for instructions. This process takes a few days.

Qin Zhao and the others all understood.

As a result, the three parties at the negotiation site dispersed, and each of them returned to their own tents.

However, the army has not dispersed, and it still maintains the appearance of fighting at any time.

King Jin couldn't understand why Pingzhou was willing to exchange these two counties for those who were uncertain.

Bai Xingzhi did not speak out to answer King Jin's doubts for him.

It should be said that since Qin Zhao said the conditions of Pingzhou, he has been silent.

For talents, it has always been to learn literary and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family. He never thought that the emperor would make concessions for them, and even pay some big price.

When there is a conflict between the interests of the individual and the interests of the collective, someone will persuade you to put the overall situation first, and it is always the weak individual who gives in and is wronged.

For example, this time, even if Pingzhou doesn't save these people, no one will say anything.

But Pingzhou was saved, and even did not hesitate to give up the land of the two counties in hand.

Death for a confidant.

He felt that Pingzhou and Lu Songli really deserved to have a future where the ministers were like rain and the generals were like clouds.

On Xie Zhan's side, he had already made a draft in his heart, ready to write an excerpt.

"Grand Governor, do you really want to agree to Pingzhou's conditions?" Jiang Boya asked hesitantly.

He went to Pingzhou to form an alliance before, and found that Pingzhou was really full of talents, and then they let go of the talents they had retained by various means, and Pingzhou was really like a tiger.

Xie Zhan: "This is the smallest price we need to pay to take the East China Sea." ”

Doesn't Xie Zhan know the importance of talents? He knew, even if he didn't understand it before, he understood it now.

Jiang Boya was discouraged, Pingzhou was not a good match, if he didn't agree to them on this condition, it would not be easy to get the land of the two counties from them.

Xie Zhan said again, "Pingzhou's move is equivalent to taking me and the emperor's army." ”

The counterinsurgency war has been fought so far, and the soldiers are very tired and at peace. Pingzhou's willingness to exchange talents with the land of the two counties instead of choosing to fight is a good thing for the soldiers.

If he and the emperor insist on going their own way, they have to use force to recapture the land of the two counties, and when the casualties are too large, if someone provokes them, it will make the soldiers resentful.

After comprehensive consideration, Xie Zhan decided to agree to Pingzhou's conditions.

Donghai Yiping, his achievements are enough to make him proud of the court.

"Will the emperor agree?"

"The emperor will."

persuaded Song Mo to release people and facilitate this negotiation, Xie Zhan was still sure.

Song Mo doesn't attach importance to talents, he has always felt that Dali is a great place with outstanding talents, and talents are like leeks, one after another, there is no shortage.

Second, he could not resist the temptation to put down the rebellion south of the Central Plains in one fell swoop without paying any price.

In addition, once the war in the East China Sea is over, the troops deployed in the East China Sea can also be transferred to the north to defend Xianbei.

The benefits are numerous.

After the excerpt was written, Xie Zhan ordered someone to send it to Chang'an at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

So in the next few days, Xie Zhan, King Jin, Qin Zhao and others did not leave, nor did they withdraw their troops, everyone defended on the spot and beware of each other.

Song Mo was very angry before receiving his fold.

He was angry that Sun Jiajun secretly took refuge in Pingzhou! is preparing to punish these old immortals Sun Taijun!

Xie Zhan's fold has arrived.

Xie Zhan's excerpt, Song Mo only saw it under Liang An's repeated appeasement.

Xie Zhan persuaded him on the excerpt that these people were in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and they were detained in Dali, which was always a hidden danger. Because it is impossible to restrict the movement of these people for the rest of their lives.

If there was no Pingzhou land exchange, the imperial court could slowly make them change their minds with the work of water grinding.

Sun Lao Taijun and the others are indeed hateful, but they are all old and dying people.

Of course, the emperor can kill them, but in addition to killing them, in addition to venting the evil anger in his heart, he has lost the land of the two counties, and it is easy to stick to the reputation of tyranny, which is not cost-effective.

Xie Zhan persuaded people from these aspects.

If the emperor feels that he really can't swallow this breath, Weichen has a plan......

Xie Zhan suggested that the emperor grant amnesty to the world in the name of quelling the rebellion in the south, and even in order to stabilize the south, some taxes could be appropriately reduced.

Xie Zhan believes that there must be wavering people among these people, and this part of the people can be won by their imperial court.

Therefore, in order to win over this part of the talent, it can be regarded as adding blockage to Pingzhou and destroying Pingzhou's plan to win over people.

Song Mo read the excerpt three times and reluctantly agreed.
