From the Han map, Wuzhou, located in the southeast corner, is undoubtedly very far away from Jin State. Of course, if you want to say the farthest from Jin State, you have to be Rinan County in Jiaozhou (already reached the southern part of Vietnam)

Even the envoys sent by Wuzhou have arrived in Jin State. It is conceivable how long the envoys they sent have been in Jinyang City for some other states closer to Jin State, such as Jizhou and Yanzhou.

Xin Ping, the envoy sent by Yuan Shao, Xun You, the envoy sent by Cao Cao, Lu Su, the envoy sent by Sun Jian, Dong He, the envoy sent by Sima Fang, and Yang Hong, the envoy sent by Yuan Shu, all of them were to exchange for the captured soldiers or generals from Zhao Xing.

Huan Jie, the envoy sent by Liu Biao, the envoy sent by Liu Yan, and the envoy sent by Gongsun Du, were here to congratulate the King of Jin on behalf of the three forces for his conferring titles. However, they came to please Zhao Xing in private, hoping to do business with Jin and get some benefits.

The envoy Wang Xiu sent by Kong Rong, the envoy Mi Zhu sent by Tao Qian, and the two old acquaintances of Zhao Xing came to Jin State to deepen their relationship with Zhao Xing, and also to discuss how to make the Qing Xu army return to Qingzhou and Xuzhou smoothly. Now, Kong Rong and Tao Qian have clearly felt the malicious eyes from several forces such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, etc., and perhaps they will be attacked by one side in a short time.

The three of them came to entrusted Zhao Xing purely because the war between Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng had not spread yet, so there was no insider information about these envoys.

The Central Court of the Han Dynasty was for face because Wang Yun had already served an envoy once a while ago and had not sent any special envoys to Jin State recently.

In any case, except for Jiaozhou, which is far south, the states in the world have sent envoys to Jin because of the news that is too closed and the road is difficult to move forward. This is exactly what Zhao Xing needs. Although there are no more than tens of thousands of nations to come to the court, it is also very lively. Some open negotiations are compared with each other when there are many people. This is a good opportunity for Zhao Xing, who is accustomed to doing business.

After asking Zhao Xing for instructions, Yingbinyuan set the time for the meeting between the Taifu and representatives from all parties on the Mid-Autumn Festival. In order to prepare for this meeting, Zhao Xing specially asked the largest wooden furniture factory in Wohu City to rush to create a large round table that can sit around many people. Zhao Xing, who has always been a bit of a bad taste, said this time that he would hold a "round table meeting", which corresponds to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and would give a good omen of "good flowers and full moon".

Several special envoys who were already anxiously waiting, greeted Zhao Xing's family and his family many times in their hearts. This negotiation was naturally "full of flowers and full moon" for Jin State, but for the forces represented by these special envoys, it was a "severe and punished" conference.

On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the second year of Guangxi, envoys from all walks of life came to the venue specially built for this peace talks, surrounded by a large group of intern reporters sent by Jin Daily, Shangdang Morning News, Taihang Evening News, Business Daily and Wohu Science and Technology News.

Alas, Zhao Xing can really make up the situation and have a good talk. He even insisted on inviting many "mouths" to record on the spot. This time, as long as the matter was finalized at the meeting, anyone who did not implement it will definitely be known to everyone in the world. In the future, for breaking trust, they will be ridiculed by the people of the world.

The meeting finally began. As the host, Zhao Xing first gave a "passionate" speech: "Everyone, welcome to the beautiful and lively Jinyang City in the golden autumn August. On behalf of the three million fellow villagers of Jin, I would like to express my sincere thanks and warmest welcome to you for your arrival!"

...

With the expressions of the envoys being either dumb, curious, or enthusiastic, Zhao Xing finally ended his speech, and a battle without gunpowder finally kicked off.

The first person to attack Zhao Xing was Xin Ping, an envoy sent by Yuan Shao. Xin Ping strongly protested the practice of Jin State to recruit people from Jizhou, saying that this practice greatly damaged the friendly and friendly relationship between Jizhou and Jin State. Zhao Xing smiled and replied that his legs were on the people and people were willing to come to our Jin State, so they could not cut their feet, right?

The two of them had no results after a long time of struggle. In the end, Xin Ping put the most important purpose of this trip on the table. Xin Ping asked the Jin State to release the two brothers Zhang Nan and Zhang Xu, as well as two thousand soldiers in Jizhou, and as compensation, Jizhou sent Sima Zhi back to Jin State. Zhao Xing stood up and went crazy at that time, saying that if you exchange more than two thousand people for Sima Zhi, it would be a blessing for you Jizhou to think. Sima Zhi was an official appointed by the court, not your Jizhou goods, while Zhang Nan, Zhang Xu and the two thousand prisoners were the spoils of Jin State, and there was no reason to exchange them at all.

After some disputes, Xin Ping, on behalf of Yuan Shao, agreed to open several large iron ore to Jin State, so that Jin State's merchants could organize manpower mining, and sent it back to Sima Zhi with a VIP gift, Zhao Xing agreed to send it back to Zhang Nan and Zhang Xu. As for the two thousand prisoners, he had to seek his own opinions. Those who were willing to return to Jizhou could go back, but those who were unwilling to go back, so forget it.

As soon as the negotiations between Jin State and Jizhou ended, the reporters around him immediately sorted out the news and immediately posted it out.

Next, Zhao Xing negotiated with Cao Cao's envoy Xun You, and the process was basically the same as the previous round of negotiations. However, because Cao Hong was Cao Cao's clan brother, and the number of soldiers captured by Jin State in Yanzhou was large, Zhao Xing held a heavy weight, so Cao Cao was inevitably slaughtered by Zhao Xing several times.

On behalf of Cao Cao, Xun You accepted the request of Jin State to open a financial store, trade warehouse and afford some mineral resources in Yanzhou, which was the only way to return the freedom of Cao Hong and thousands of Cao's prisoners.

As soon as the negotiations between Jin State and Yanzhou were over, the reporters around quickly sorted out the news and immediately released it.

During the negotiations with Sun Jian on behalf of Lu Su, Zhao Xing asked Wuzhou to provide Jin State with two hundred skilled shipwrecks to exchange for Zu Mao's freedom;

During the negotiations with Sima Fang representative Dong He, Zhao Xing asked Yizhou to provide a large amount of herbs (ingredients that make Yunnan Baiyao) and sulfur to exchange for the freedom of Zhang Yi and thousands of Yizhou soldiers;

In the negotiations with Yuan Shu representative Zang Hong, Zhao Xing asked Yangzhou to provide Jin with two hundred shipwrecks like Wuzhou to exchange for the freedom of two thousand Danyang soldiers. Jin State successively captured 4,500 Danyang soldiers under Yuan Shu, but 2,500 people refused to return to Yangzhou again, so they stayed in Jin State. These 2,500 people were wounded and abandoned by Yuan Shu, but were cured by Jin State.

During the talks with Liu Biao representing Huan Jie, Liu Yan representing Zang Hong, Gongsun Du representing Liu Yi and others, Zhao Xing agreed to open some goods transactions in Jin State, such as livestock, booklets, paper, agricultural equipment, etc. In exchange, these states opened up minerals, grain and other transactions to Jin State, allowing the people to migrate to Jin State.

During the negotiations with Kong Rong, Wang Xiu and Tao Qian, Qingzhou and Xuzhou enjoyed the agreement reached by Jin State and other states. At the same time, Zhao Xing clearly stated that the Dragon Cavalry Army would arrange for the soldiers of the Qingxu Volunteer Army to return to Qingzhou and Xuzhou safely. The specific marching route was to take a boat from the Yellow River in Xihe, and along the Yellow River channel, it would be possible to reach Gaotang Port in Qingzhou Pingyuan County. The Sili area along the road was not intercepted by Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

As for the three entrusting guys Zhao Xing, Zhang Xiu, Gongsun Fan and Han Sui, the agreement reached at the meeting was more extensive and in-depth. There were many amazing decisions, such as officials from the three places could mobilize each other, the people could move freely, issue currencies in a unified manner, and the standards of various units of measurement were unified, and there was no checkpoint between each other and no trade tax was charged...

The envoys of other forces felt that after Zhang Xiu, Gongsun Fan, Han Sui and others returned, they would be chopped off by their respective masters because of the bastard agreement they signed.

After a long and hard meeting, the "Round Table" finally came to an end in the evening. Many envoys did not care about attending the Mid-Autumn Festival moon-watching dinner specially prepared by Zhao Xing, and hurried back overnight, hoping to report the content of the talks to their respective lords as soon as possible.

The proud and ambitious Taifu Zhao accepted an interview with Cai Wenji, a special beauty reporter from the Jin Daily at the reception dinner. He introduced with great interest: "No matter how many messengers come from south to north, as long as they come to our Jin State, they are guests. Jin State has always been very courteous to guests, which can be seen from the fruitful results achieved at this roundtable meeting..."
