Chapter 562: Bargaining

Cheng Qun wanted to see Yun Zhao, but Yun Zhao had already returned to Xingling. In the south of the Yangtze River, Cheng Qun believed that he was not qualified to negotiate with him at all. After a few days of stalemate, Yao Changkun, the commander of the four states of Qin Yiliang Pu, and Wang Gui, the deputy, rushed to Fukang from Yizhou. Yao Changkun, as the highest-ranking minister under the Governor's Office in the North, came to Cheng Qun's negotiator.

In order to express respect for Cheng Qun, Yao Changkun set the negotiation location in Cheng Qun's Cuiping Mountain Camp. Liu Huajian was arrested for ten days. After six days of sudden changes in Jingzhou Navy, Cheng Qun finally sat with the senior executives of the Northern Army behind these matters.

The other protagonist of this incident, the White Lotus Army of Hongniang, has been taken aside by both sides. Both Cheng Qun and Yao Changkun, both believed that the White Lotus Army was not qualified to sit among them in this negotiation.

"General Cheng, we meet again!" Yao Changkun clasped his fists and bowed to the ground.

Cheng Qun's face turned a little blue. These days, he had not had a good sleep. The main force of a battalion of the Zhengbei Army suddenly crossed the river. Unprepared, he actually lost his general Liu Huajian. One wave was not settled, and another wave started again. The action of arresting Ji Wujiu's family was unexpected. Ji Wuliang led dozens of five-masted warships to collude with the Zhengbei Army in Cangjiang, and defeated Li Hongchao's troops who were going to encircle him and defeated him. He was only exempted from his own life.

Cangjiang no longer belongs to him Cheng Qun. From then on, he will share the natural danger of Cangjiang with Yun Zhao. The attempt of the powerful Cangjiang Army to cross the river was completely defeated. What made him even more worried was that according to Li Hongchao's description after he fled back, the Cangjiang Army had already made breakthrough developments in the naval ship-borne weapons. At present, the Jingzhou Navy seems to have the upper hand in number, but in fact, when the two sides confronted each other, the Jingzhou Navy did not take any advantage, and this was the Cangjiang Army.

As the navy was just taking shape, as time went by, the navy of the Northern Army would become stronger and stronger. Until the Jingzhou Navy completely overwhelmed the defection of Wuliang was fatal. He took away not only dozens of warships, but also thousands of elite trained navy soldiers. These would become the basis for the navy of the Northern Army. Cheng Qun had no doubt that with Yun Zhao's skills, it would not take long. Wuliang's navy would completely become the most loyal subordinates of the Northern Army.

With his hands clasped his fists, Cheng Qun said lightly: "It's been a long time since! General Yao, things are unpredictable. Last time we fought side by side, drinking and talking and saying goodbye. In less than a year, both sides actually met with each other. I just want to ask, what exactly Yun Zhao wants to do."

Yao Changkun stared at the other party's blue-white face, and suddenly felt a little pitiful in his heart. Perhaps when he told him to unite with Congliang Su Can, the other party did not have so many ideas. When he took that step, what happened later was no longer the next thing. He had to go step by step in another direction. That direction might not be what the other party wanted to go, but the form no longer allowed him to turn back. When the three parties jointly defeated the Mongolian army, Cheng Qun was destined to have to gain self-respect and strive to protect himself.

When Cheng Qun completed this step, the next move naturally made the conflict between him and the Northern Army inevitable

"General Cheng, this sentence is supposed to be asked by my governor. What do you want to do?"

"As the imperial court, I am an official, to wipe out the White Lotus bandits who were in chaos for the court. Yun Zhao, as the general of the imperial court, was the governor of the North, but he sent troops to aid the bandits and bandits. He also asked me what I wanted to do. Is this bandit army the general is supported by your family? " Cheng Qun sneered coldly."

Yao Changkun laughed, "I dare to ask General Cheng, the urgent task of the court today is to rebel in the Fourth Master to rebel, and to harm the south. The Fourth Master's generals went straight to the middle of the army and threatened the capital, or was it just a mere White Lotus bandit in the northwest?"

Looking straight into Cheng Qun's eyes, "With General Cheng's wisdom, how could he not know which one is more important? The general regarded himself as an official in the court, but abandoned the capital and was anxious to mobilize heavy troops to the northwest without regard, and did not know what the meaning was."

"I have my own plans, how can you understand the arrangement of this general?" Cheng Qun looked up at the sky and hummed.

Yao Changkun smiled and said, "If I don't understand the arrangement of the general, why did I cross the river with the Northern Army? Everyone is ringing drums and not pounding. The blind man eats dumplings, and I know that I am here today, not a quarrel with the general. I am very busy in Qin Yiliangpu, and I believe the general is also full of everything. Now I am afraid that we are thinking about how to withdraw in time. Why don't we sit down and talk calmly and find a solution that both sides can accept."

He glanced at Yao Changkun deeply, and flicked Cheng Qun's sleeves, "Please!"

In the big tent, one left and one right, there is a big case among the two chairs. Yao Changkun came on behalf of Yun Zhao, so he is naturally qualified to sit on the same level as Cheng Qun.

"Liu Huajian must return it to me in full!" Cheng Qun made it straight to the point, "If he had any accidents, I can guarantee that the Hongniang will definitely not be able to get down to Cuiping Mountain."

"General Liu Huajian was also our comrade-in-arms who fought against Mongolia together back then. Now he is a guest at our place, how could we make things difficult for him?" Yao Changkun smiled and said, "Although General Cheng is relieved, General Liu lives a comfortable life in Fukang. Our General Quan Yifeng often invites him to drink and talk, maybe they are all friends now! When General Liu comes back, General Cheng will be relieved, he has gained weight! Hahaha!"

Cheng Qun was slightly stagnant

"We will return not only General Liu Huajian, but also General Tu'an, who was captured with General Liu Huajian, as well as about 1,500 soldiers and 2,000 wounded soldiers. We will all be cured. Those wounded soldiers can be cured. Only many of them are seriously injured. Disabilities are inevitable. We regret this!" Yao Changkun said.

Eight thousand soldiers! Cheng Qun's heart was bleeding, and there were only more than 3,000 people who could come back. Those wounded soldiers, especially the return of seriously injured, would undoubtedly greatly damage their morale, but he could not refuse to accept it. If he did not want these wounded soldiers, he would be afraid that the army would have a sharp drop in morale. The exercise of the Northern Army was extremely vicious, but the mute ate Coptis chinensis, knowing that it was a bowl of poisonous wine, he could only hold his nose and drink it. Moreover, after these wounded soldiers came back, he had to give them better care and higher pensions to make the soldiers return.

"We guarantee General Liu Huajian's safe return. Correspondingly, the Hongniangzi's troops on Cuiping Mountain must also return to Fukang safely!"

"Of course!" Cheng Qun said: "But you have to let General Liu go first."

"Okay, let us release General Liu and two thousand wounded soldiers first, and then you release Hong Niangzi's troops on Cuiping Mountain, and then we release General Tu'an and 1,500 captured soldiers! This should be a reasonable plan!" Yao Changkun proposed the exchange method.

"I have no objection." Cheng Qun let out a breath. For him, the Hong Niangzi's subordinate was a thorn choked in his throat. He couldn't eat it and vomited it out early, which made him more comfortable.

"The Northern Army, the White Lotus Army unconditionally withdrew from Xiangzhou!" Cheng Qun proposed something more critical and substantial

"We will withdraw from Fukang and return Fukang to General Cheng. Bailian Army will return to Ganzhou, but our Northern Army will retain Xingyi County as our base!" Yao Changkun smiled and said, "The Northern Army is coming from afar. If there is no gain, the governor will be unable to explain to his subordinates!"

"This is impossible!" Cheng Qun slapped the table, "The Northern Army cannot leave a step and a soldier in Xiangzhou!"

"If the Northern Expedition Army cannot leave one step at a time in Xiangzhou, then General Cheng cannot leave one step at a time in Xiangzhou. I want to know if General Cheng's guards leave, can the Xiangzhou Town Army block the White Lotus Sect's Army make a comeback!" Yao Changkun did not give in at all, and said tit-for-tat to the point of saying tit-for-tat

"Mr. Hong is also part of your Northern Expedition Army!"

"No, the White Lotus Army is the White Lotus Army, and the Northern Envoy is the Northern Envoy Army. I will not hide it from General Cheng. The reason why our Northern Envoy Army led the army to aid was entirely because of the personal relationship between the leader of the White Lotus Army, Hong Niangzi and my governor!" He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Hong Niangzi is the woman of my governor, but the White Lotus Army is indeed not part of my Northern Envoy Army."

Yao Changkun's expression was a little ambiguous

Cheng Qun was furious, and he really called a bitch whore and wanted to set up a archway. He gritted his teeth when he got the advantage. He said word by word: "You Bei Army should not do anything at all! Leave everything on the front line, and we will meet each other in the future!"

Yao Changkun sneered, "When General Cheng retreated from Qin Yiliang Pu, he emptied the treasury and moved the wealthy families, leaving me with a huge mess of stalls for the Northern Army. When millions of hungry people were hungry, have you ever thought about leaving a line for everything and meeting each other in the future?" Yao Changkun also stood up: "The general is the first day of the first day of the lunar month, and my Northern Army is the fifth day of the lunar month!"

The two of them were like cockfighting, staring at each other for a while, and letting out a long breath and slowly sitting down. Both of them were identifiable, so they would not curse or speak ill of each other.

"Why are Yun Zhao so arrogant, aren't you afraid that I will burn my boats and fight to break Liu Huajian and annihilate the Red Lady on Cuiping Mountain?" Cheng Qun said slowly: "In the Central Plains, I don't have only one way to go!"

Yao Changkun smiled and said, "General Cheng has hundreds of thousands of troops. Jingzhou and Jiangzhou are extremely rich, so there are naturally many choices. However, I remind General Cheng that Cuiping Mountain cannot be defeated just by wanting to fight. I can mobilize a large army and lead the troops to the south. I think General Cheng already knows the existence of the Navy of the Northern Army. When I came to Fukang, I just learned that General Ji Wuliang led a large number of warships to join my Northern Army!"

"If Yun Zhao dares to come, he is not afraid of being deceived and cheating his nest."

"It's okay, the Meng people are in chaos, and Barutu and Wuliqi are fighting a mess. The Meng people are not worried about themselves. They want us to go further and better so that we won't provoke us. For us, it's just a delay in the plan to conquer the Meng people for several years!" Yao Changkun said

"You have taken advantage of it. Since that's the case, it's better not to talk about it!" Cheng Qun said

"The Northern Army promised that within two years, one soldier of the Northern Army would not leave Xingyi County, and one soldier of the White Lotus Army would not enter Xiangzhou! In two years, if General Cheng could not solve his own problems, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Two years" Cheng Qun sniffed: "Yun Zhao was so sure that he would conquer the Mongolian people within two years!"

"Two years are enough!" Yao Changkun said proudly.
