After hearing Ji Chuan mention Li Yuan and Chu Luo, Song Zhengben came out and said, "Envoy Li is so arrogant. If he is not afraid of my master, why should he send you to humbly and reconcile?"

When Ji Chuan looked at the other party, he was ranked first among the civil officials of Dou Jiande, and knew that it must be Dou Jiande's plan to be Song Zhengben. If he wanted to convince Dou Jiande, this person must be the first to overturn it.

Ji Chuan said immediately: "Shim is not fear, but for the sake of the two armies to turn war into jade. It is because harmony is beneficial to both sides, and when fighting is harmful to both sides."

Song Zhengben said, "I have only heard of lying beside the bed, so how can I allow others to snore? If you are harmonious, you will benefit from both sides. If you are war, you will hurt both sides?"

Ji Chuan looked at Song Zhengben and said, "The Turks had 400,000 Iron Cavalry on the grassland. They wanted to fight for the world in the south. Can the King of Xia be enough to stop it? Li Tang occupied Guanzhong in the west, took Bashu in the south, and advanced eastward to Hedong in the east. They were one of the three parts of the world. Now they took Li Shentong as their general. If they wanted to capture Shandong, Hebei, could the Xia army be enough to stop it?"

"Li Yuan is good at forbearance and pays tribute to the Turks. If one day the two families join forces, the Turks will take Yanyun south, the Li Tang River will advance east and east, and another general will leave Hanoi to connect the heroes of Shandong, is the Xia King enough to refuse?"

"This." Song Zhengben was exhausted for a while.

At this time, Jijiu Ling said with a head, "How could we know that if our Xia army and Turkic and Li Tang go to war, Youzhou will not rob with the fire?"

Himekawa bowed and said, "This is what I came to discuss peace for."

Ling Jing sneered and said, "It's no point in saying it, how do you want us to believe it."

Ji Chuan said: "Youzhou, the former land of Yan State, the road is as dangerous as Yanyun, and the land is as strong as Taihang. The water is as convenient as Tongji Canal, and the money is as rich as Zhuo County. There are always troubles of borders, so all the scholars and people are accustomed to bows and horses. The ancient saying is said to be the elite soldiers of Yan and Zhao. They are the heroes of the world."

Ji Chuan talked freely in the tent. Although he knew that this person was a lobbyist, everyone showed a serious look of listening.

"There are three tribes in the north of Youzhou, the Khitan and the Xi tribe, the Goguryeo and Baekje in the east, and Liu Wuzhou in the west, and the Li Tang were all tigers and wolves. My lord got the help of the Xi tribe. He drew his sword and rose up to fight against the Turks. He fought against the Khitan, but Goguryeo and fought against the Li Tang in Hedong. After a hundred battles, Jianye was found. If the King of Xia occupied Youzhou, could he defend it? If he had elite soldiers and strong generals defended it, how could he have the strength to fight the world in the south?"

Ling Yunyan said: "Ji is engaged, after all, you have not said why Youzhou would not plot against me in Hebei."

Ji Chuan smiled and said, "As we all know, our Youzhou and Li Tang are enemies. Once, my lord set up a 60,000 army to attack Hedong. Although he took Taiyuan, he did not achieve complete success. Li Tang was not destroyed. How could I have a day to rest in Youzhou? Ling Jijiu said that it was right. The princes said that there was no basis for their words, but only benefits would be beneficial and they could be fully maintained. If the King of Xia wanted to help Li Tang seize the world, then please kill someone first and prepare for war immediately."

Dou Jiande smiled slightly and asked, "Dare you asking Ling Jijiu, how about the people in Youzhou today?"

Ji Chuan smiled and said, "My Youzhou people are so prosperous. Wen Dalin can compare with Xiao He's talent. Wang Junkuo has the courage of a king. Xu Maogong is capable of plotting with Jiang Shang. Li Envoy's tent is beyond his own kind and outstripping. It is incredible to remember everything."

Dou Jiande laughed and asked, "Then it seems that under the tent of the envoy Li, it seems that he is the overlord of Xiao He. How many people are there who are like the king? "

Ji Chuan said, "Like Chuan, the number of people carrying cars is countless. Ji Chuan is not talented, and dares not compare himself with Su Qin and Zhang Yi, but Tian Heng's heart."

Seeing Ji Chuan's words appropriately, Dou Jiande took a deep breath and said, "I already know what Ji is doing, please rest for a while."

Himechuan bowed and stepped back.

Dou Jiande looked at the generals and asked, "What do you think?"

All the generals bowed their heads and said nothing. Dou Jiande shouted, "You guys, you talk freely, but you don't speak at this time?"

General Liu Heita said, "What Ji is talking about is somewhat reasonable. In terms of military strength, our Xia army is better than the Youzhou army. If our army seizes Youzhou, there will be Turks in the north, Goguryeo in the east, and Li Tang in the west, how to defend it is better to keep it as a barrier to defend it to the Turks and Goguryeo. Let's discuss it after advancing east to capture Shandong and capturing Luoyang in the south."

Dou Jiande looked at Zhang Xuansu. This theory had always been his opinion before, believing that Youzhou should not be easily attacked.

"Zhang Aiqing, I want to hear what you mean?"

Zhang Xuansu said: "The reason why our army sent troops to attack Youzhou was because Liu Wuzhou was an external response, Lu Zi moved to internal aid and was a polite person for Luo Cheng. Our army's military strength was far stronger than Youzhou, so he thought it would be a battle to go down. He took the danger of Yanyun and spread all over Hebei."

"But now Liu Wuzhou, Lu Ziqian, and Luo Cheng are all dead. Our army has become an isolated army. In the battle between the river, the Youzhou army dares to fight to the death. Our army is a small defeat. It is really unwise to continue fighting. Instead of fighting in a wave of war, it is better to stop here."

Dou Jiande looked at the ministers and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"

Song Zhengben and other ministers who had previously been in charge of war were silent.

Dou Jiande stood up and said, "I decided to send someone to cross the river to negotiate peace with Youzhou army. There will be a time for a comeback in the future."

"promise."

"Ling Aiqing, please come for me."

Ling Jing got Dou Jiande to make a promise now.

In the afternoon of that day, Zhang Xuansu and Ji Chuan crossed the river by boat.

Before the gate, Ling Jing saw the gongs and drums ringing and the soldiers greeted each other, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"Wen Yanbo, the chief of Youzhou Prefecture, is here to wait for Brother Ling to take the lead."

When he heard that it was Wen Yanbo, who lived under Li Chongjiu in Youzhou, came to greet him in person. Ling Jing smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

There is a bit of arrogance in his words.

At that moment, Wen Yanbo led Ling Jing into the other tent prime minister, and Ji Chuan first went to the tent to report to Li Chongjiu.

After listening without saying a word, Li Chongjiu said, "Dou Jiande did not ask you about your peace agreement, but asked me about the customs and local figures in Youzhou, which showed that he wanted to take Youzhou again and make a comeback."

Ji Chuan said, "I have reported to Duke Shanggu, after this peace talks, I see Dou Jiande, a man born leader, and regards generals as brothers and sisters. Therefore, everyone in the Xia army is willing to die for him. This man is a hero of the world. If he fights with him and cannot win in one battle, he should be harmonious and avoids the troubles of the future."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "It's hard for Ji to do it. He sent an order to go on a generous banquet to entertain the Xia army envoy."

Li Chongjiu immediately held a banquet in the tent, and his subordinates accompanied him.

Seeing that Li Chongjiu treated each other very well, Ling Jing held the sword and entered with a high profile, and sat on the Jindun beside Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu raised his glass in his hand and said, "Although I have not met King Xia, I have been in contact with him for a long time. I have always admired King Xia. Now the two families can form an alliance and turn swords into jade and silk. It is a blessing for both families. Lao Ling has given wine to promote this matter."

Ling Jing laughed, then raised his glass and drank it happily, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shanggu, be polite."

At that moment, Li Chongjiu introduced the generals under Zhang Xuansu one by one. All the generals toasted Ling Jing, and Ling Jing was half drunk. He said, "Duke Shanggu. If the two families quit. Duke Shanggu, please ask me, King Xia, to withdraw the army, what sincerity will Youzhou show?"

Ji Chuan smiled and said, "Retreat the troops is a matter for both families to make their own profits. What's the sincerity?"

Ling Jingyan said, "Our 100,000 troops in Youzhou are dispatched. How much does it take to use the troops, horses, money and grain, and the food they eat can be piled up into mountains in one day. Your Majesty does not want you to cede land or take qualifying. It is just a mere money and grain. If your Youzhou army does not show some sincerity, please forgive me for it's difficult for me to go back and explain to King Xia."

When the generals heard this, they were furious. Wang Mahan said directly: "Damn it, your Xia army has not yet asked you for an explanation. The thief dared to ask us for compensation. If you tell me, I thought we had a defeat."

Ling Jing smiled and said, "This general is so serious. No matter how big it is, I will report back to King Xia, and the two armies will fight again."

"I'm afraid you will come if I fight."

"Sit down!" Li Chongjiu shouted angrily, waved his hand and asked Wang Mahan to shut up, and said himself: "Ling Jijiu said that it is not unreasonable, but it is not easy for our military to be self-sufficient in food and grass. Please ask Ling Jijiu to make a move in between and don't take too much."

"Empress!"

"Master!"

All the generals spoke one after another.

When Ling Jing heard Li Chongjiu say this, he thought to himself, "Mr. Shanggu, the Hou," heard that when he attacked the Turks, he dared to assassinate Shibi in his army of 200,000. He saw this today.

Ling Jing smiled slightly and said, "I will work hard to speak for Gong Shanggu in front of King Xia, but your army must also show sincerity. Otherwise, my 100,000 troops will return without success, and King Xia will not have any steps."

Li Chongjiu said: "As far as 100,000 shi of military rations are concerned, there can be no too much. I will still use military rations to Li Tang this winter, and military rations must not be less."

Ling Jing thought to himself, as if this is true, Li Chongjiu and our King Xia were worried that Li Yuan’s power would become increasingly powerful and would be unfavorable to himself in the future. Very well, it was true that he would argue with Youzhou, which would be very beneficial to us.

Ling Jingyan said at the moment: "I'll do my best to deal with it."

Li Chongjiu laughed and raised his glass and said, "Thank you so much for the wine Ling, please drink this glass."

When the generals met with peace talks, they were immediately furious and stopped drinking.

Only Ling Jing saw that the peace talks were completed, and was very happy. After raising his glass and drinking, he returned to Dou Jiande's camp while drunk.

Dou Jiande waited for Ling Jing all night and waited for Ling Jing to arrive at the camp.

Ling Jing reported to Dou Jiande about this mission. Dou Jiande was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Li Chongjiu really has the intention to win Hedong. It's great. The two strong men fight each other, and our army can reap the benefits of the fisherman. It's Li Chongjiu and Li Yuan's two families will fight themselves, haha."

Ling Jingyan said: "Li Chongjiu returned the corpses of our Xia army and built a good coffin for each general, especially General Wang also buried him with generous gifts. As for 100,000 grains and grass, he needed to transfer grain from Yi County, and he would definitely arrive within three days."

Dou Jiande nodded when he heard this and said, "It's enough to feel his kindness. Li Chongjiu is truly a kind person."

Three days later, the Youzhou Army Camp.

Wen Yanbo and Ji Chuan reported to Li Chongjiu, Ji Chuan said, "I reported to Shanggu Duke. After three days of delay, Wang Junkuo, Ying Hefu, and Yan Yelei finally led 20,000 grassland cavalry to Yi County."

Wen Yanbo said, "In addition, General Xu Shiji also led 5,000 troops to secretly arrive in Shanggu County and waited for the reign of Shanggu Duke."
Chapter completed!
