Chapter 568 Conditional Exchange
After both sides stopped fighting, this round of conflict calmed down.
Tuoba Xun said seriously, "Lord Lu, let's have a good talk about the conditions for redeeming all the captives of the Fuyu tribe. You know, it's meaningless to redeem the old and the children."
Tuoba Khan was not stupid. It was useless to redeem the old and the children of Fuyu. The young and the strong were still in their hands.
This Tuoba Xun was worthy of being the eldest prince of Xianbei. After realizing that going crazy would not solve the problem, he quickly calmed down.
Lu Desheng asked, "Are you Xianbei sure you want to negotiate such a big deal with us in Pingzhou? Then you have to prepare this."
"You are holding the young and the strong of Fuyu just to make people work? We will help you solve the problem of the people who work. How about you release the young and the strong of Fuyu?"
"Tell me, how are you going to solve this problem?"
"How about we exchange the young and the strong of Han people in the northern border and Liangzhou with you?"
"The northern border Liangzhou and Pingzhou are far apart. Do you want to transport the young and the strong of Han people in person?" Lu Desheng asked curiously.
"It's impossible. It costs too much. We will issue travel permits to the young men from both places and let them come to Pingzhou by themselves." Their families are being held captive, so they dare not disobey.
"No!" Lv Desheng curled his lips, "You all know that the whole family must be present to redeem the captives. Don't we know that? We are worried about you holding the families of these young men."
"In addition, although I don't like you Hu people, I have to admit that you Xianbei Hu people are stronger than Han people. It's not cost-effective to exchange Han young men with Buyeo captives, and we can't beat and scold them at will."
Axe was worried. What Lv Desheng said, can they beat and scold the Buyeo people at will?
Yuchi Xun, who was standing aside, saw that Lv Desheng seemed to know that it was hopeless to get money from them Xianbei, and his attitude changed a little.
Yuchi Xun was a Han Chinese expert and was familiar with Han Chinese classics. Lv Desheng's attitude made him know that the other party was willing to expose his needs, so there was room for negotiation, so he continued to talk.
After several rounds of difficult negotiations, Xianbei finally got Pingzhou to agree to release the Fuyu captives.
The condition that Xianbei needed to agree to was to open the gates of the two places in the northern border and Liangzhou, so that the Han people could go to Pingzhou freely.
Although the current Beijing and Liangzhou are two states, because they are located on the border, the population is sparse, and the population density belongs to the type of vast land and sparse population. In addition, due to the wars in recent years, the people either fled or died, and the current population of the two states is only a million.
During the negotiations, Lu Desheng said that they had more than 100,000 Fuyu captives in their hands, which was real. They Xianbei wanted the Han people in the two places of Liangzhou in the northern border to go to Pingzhou spontaneously, but there was no reward. The two places were far apart, and it would be good if 20,000 out of 100,000 could go to Pingzhou.
After all, once the gates are opened and people leave, who knows where they will go?
So it is not okay for Xianbei to only let more than 100,000 people out of the city.
During the talks, Pingzhou said that in order to ensure that the young and strong people in the two places are willing to come, they Xianbei have to pay a sum of silver, that is, if the people of Liangzhou in the northern border really come, each household will be rewarded with five taels of silver.
What a joke, can they Xianbei agree to such conditions?
Anyway, after several rounds of bargaining, Xianbei needs to open all the gates of Liangzhou in the northern border, and the people in the two places can leave if they want to, and they don’t want to leave if they don’t want to.
No matter how much Pingzhou can accept in the end, it can’t make trouble again. At the same time, release all the Fuyu captives.
At first glance, they Xianbei agreed to such conditions a bit of loss, but I don’t know if they Xianbei plundered too much in the northern border and Liangzhou, and the people under their jurisdiction always wanted to escape and were very passive in their work. It is almost conceivable how bad the taxes will be next year. It is better to exchange these people for more than 100,000 diligent Fuyu people.
Pingzhou had no choice but to agree to this condition, but there was a requirement, that is, when they opened the city gates, they should publicize that if they were willing to come to their Pingzhou, a family would have five taels of resettlement allowance.
The Xianbei envoys agreed on the surface, but they didn't intend to do it in their hearts.
After negotiating the terms, Ax wanted Pingzhou to release the people.
"No, your Xianbei royal court has no credibility and has repeatedly gone back on its word. We don't trust you."
Xianbei:... It hurts.
"On our Xianbei side, the Khan has sent people with a handwritten order to ask the generals guarding the city to release the people. Shouldn't you Pingzhou also express your opinion?"
Lv Desheng said proudly, "Although our Pingzhou governor is a woman, she always keeps her word."
Tuoba Xun and others thought about Pingzhou, it seems that they really do what they say?
"However, our Pingzhou has always been fair and just. Since you have begun to fulfill your promise, we Pingzhou will naturally express our opinions. Come on, pick out the children under ten years old of the Buyeo tribe and let them take them away."
Throwing out a bundle, Lv Desheng looked relaxed.
Ax: ...
Seeing Ax didn't speak, Lu Desheng was puzzled, "You don't want it?"
"Yes, of course!"
To this point, it can be said that Pingzhou had laid out early and took advantage of the situation.
On Lu Songli's desk was the agreement signed by both parties. Pingzhou used the Fuyu captives in exchange for the opportunity to open the gates of the North Border and Liangzhou, which was also a way for the people of the two places to survive. Whether they were willing to seize the opportunity depended on their own choice.
East China Sea
Under the request of Xie Zhan, the military commander, the progress of the encirclement and suppression of King Jin was advancing rapidly.
Dong Guowei, Wei Kuang and Liu Mao, one of the former generals of the Southern Expedition Army, led three armies to launch a strong attack on the King of Jin from the south, west and north, forming a semi-encirclement and constantly encroaching on the King of Jin's territory.
Under the crazy attack of the three armies, the King of Jin's territory is getting smaller and smaller.
Jin Wang Mansion
"Is the court crazy to fight so recklessly?"
Not only is the court crazy, he is also crazy.
The defeat was too fast, and the King of Jin is now very anxious.
The staff of the Jin Wang Mansion said, "Dali has lost Yanmen and Daijun now, and now it must be eager to quell the rebellion in the world."
Hearing this, the King of Jin became even angrier. What does the loss of Yanmen and Daijun have to do with him, the King of Jin? It's not him who lost them!
"I think they are picking on the weak! If you have the guts, go after the Xianbei! Take back Yanmen and Daijun!" After the King of Jin finished venting his anger, he suddenly changed the subject, "No, this can't go on, I want to fight the Pingzhou expeditionary army!"
The officials were confused, why did he get to this point? The prince's thoughts were too jumpy.
The King of Jin had no way to vent his anger. If there was a dog in front of him, the King of Jin would want to kick it.
"This Pingzhou soldier is just a name in vain. After I destroy it, I can recover Dongtai and Jiangdu, and release more troops to resist the attack of the court."
The King of Jin only thought about the benefits of defeating the Pingzhou expeditionary army.
In his opinion, destroying the Pingzhou expeditionary army is as easy as pie.
After all, the expeditionary army led by Qin Zhao did nothing after occupying Dongtai County and Jiangdu in Guangling. Combined with the report from the general stationed in Qutao, King Jin felt that the Pingzhou soldiers were just in vain.
