Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 775
Chapter 773: Indemnity
Han Yuanji is a famous poet and lyricist in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Huang Tingjian, a famous writer and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the founder of the Jiangxi Poetry School that flourished for a while, is known as "one ancestor and three schools" (Huang Tingjian is one of them) together with Du Fu, Chen Shidao and Chen Yuyi.Together with Zhang Lei, Chao Buzhi, and Qin Guan, they all traveled to study under Su Shi's family, collectively known as the "Four Scholars of Su Family".During his lifetime, he was as famous as Su Shi, and was called "Su Huang" by the world.

Huang Tingjian and Han Yuanji, both poets who entered the WTO because of the Baizhao Card, were directly implanted in Huang She, the son of Huang Zu, and Han Guang, the son of Han Xuan.

In the first battle of the alliance against Qin, Huang Tingjian and Han Yuanji were not in the coalition, otherwise they would not escape the fate of being killed or captured.

After the defeat, Jiangxia and Changsha Counties quickly made defensive preparations, apparently in preparation for the Qin army to settle accounts after the fall.

In addition to the defense, the two counties also sent their second sons as messengers, and when they came to redeem the people, they also asked for the alliance, and their posture was extremely low.
The series of reactions from the two counties all proved that there is a master behind the two counties in command, and this master also aroused Qin Hao's interest, so he sent Jin Yiwei to inquire about the news, and finally the person who got the plan turned out to be the son of Huang Zu ...Huang Xie.

Huang Xie, minister of Chu State during the Warring States Period, writer, statesman, and former prime minister of Chu.

In the first year of King Kaolie of Chu, he took Huang Xie as his prime minister, and gave him twelve counties north of the Huaihe River, and named him Chunshen Jun. Therefore, Huang Xie merged with Wei Wuji, King of Xinling of Wei State, Zhao Sheng, King of Pingyuan of Zhao State, and Tian Wen, King of Mengchang of Qi State. Known as the "Four Young Masters of the Warring States Period".

Chunshen Jun Huang Xie was also one of the characters born in the poet Baizhao, and was also implanted with Huang Zu's eldest son 'Huang Xie'.

Huang Xie was a former prime minister of Chu. In those turbulent times, a person who could serve as the prime minister of a country did not need a high level of political ability. Knowledge of the military was a basic quality.

Of course, Huang Xie knew that the center of the Qin army was no longer in Jingzhou, and also realized that Liu Xiu was borrowing the power of the alliance to attack Qin, but his letter of persuasion had not been passed on to Huang Zu. Father Huang Zu was directly captured.

After hearing the news, Huang Xie was furious, and then joined Han Xuan's son Han Guang and Han Yuanji, and quickly ordered the border to be strictly guarded, and then sent his younger brother Huang Tingjian to redeem the people on his behalf.

Whether it is Huang Zu or Han Xuan, they are the pillars of their respective counties. Even if Huang Xie is Huang Zu's son, he has no prestige to replace him for the time being. Therefore, for the stability of the two counties, the two counties must be replaced at all costs. people redeemed.

Whether it is Jiang Xia or Changsha, the share of ransom paid to Qin Hao is very large, which can be said to be very sincere, but this still cannot satisfy Qin Hao's appetite, so a new ransom list is made.

After reading the contents on the list, Huang Zu's face suddenly became ashen, and he said solemnly: "Qinhou, these conditions are a bit excessive, aren't they?"

Han Xuan on the other side cheered and said happily, "Master Hou, Changsha is willing to pay the ransom."

The reason why the two had such a big reaction was naturally because the conditions for letting them leave were different.

Since Changsha is not bordered by the Qin army, the newly captured three southern counties of Nanjun are now in the arms of Liu Xiu, so Qin Hao only asks Han Xuan to compensate a lot of money.

And because Jiang Xia is directly bordering the Qin army, Qin Hao not only asked for compensation, but also asked Jiang Xia to cede land for peace.

Although Jiangxia's compensation was only one-third of Changsha's, it had to give up the three newly captured southern counties, and ceded Jiangxia's three northern counties to the Qin army.

After seeing Huang Zu's harsh conditions, and looking back at his own, Han Xuan decisively chose to agree.

In Han Xuan's view, the land is more important than the money. As long as the land is still there, the money can be earned back sooner or later, and he can leave only by paying the money. Of course, he is very willing.

Han Xuan even felt that he had taken advantage of it, because he also left the Qin army, and Huang Zu paid a much greater price than himself.

In comparison, Huang Zu's face was naturally very bad, because although Jiangxia County was rich, there were only fourteen counties. If he gave up all the income and ceded three counties, then he was not only left with eleven counties. It's down.

Huang Zu didn't have much opinion on the newly acquired land of the three counties being ceded to Qin Hao. After all, it was not his territory, but the ceding of the three counties in Jiangbei touched Huang Zu's nerves.

Because if the three counties in Jiangbei were ceded, then Jiangxia's sphere of influence would be completely expelled from Jiangbei, and from then on, it could only develop in the south of the Yangtze River, so of course Huang Zu was unwilling.

"Qinhou, Jiang Xia is willing to give up the new southern county, and is willing to double the compensation, but it is absolutely impossible to cede the three counties in Jiangbei." Huang Zu said solemnly, his attitude was also extremely firm.

Seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't help sighing in his heart. They are also princes of the Three Kingdoms. How can the gap between Han Xuan and Huang Zu be so big?
Han Xuan is not incompetent, his political ability is still passable, otherwise he would not have become a prince, but this person is too afraid of death.

In comparison, Huang Zu was much more qualified. Even if he was a prisoner, he was still thinking about his power, not his own life.

"Prefect Huang Zu, do you think you are still qualified to negotiate conditions with Ben Hou?"

Qin Hao looked at Huang Zu disdainfully and said with a sneer: "After Jiangdong Liu Yao learned that you were captured, he can already prepare for the war, and he may attack Jiangxia at any time, but without you in Jiangxia, you can definitely block the Jiangdong army. ? Really, it wasn't just the three counties in Jiangbei that were lost at that time."

Huang Zu naturally knew the severity. Although his eyes were full of struggle, he still gritted his teeth: "No, Qin Hou, you will never let Liu Yao occupy Jiangxia. That is a greater threat to the Qin army."

Qin Hao couldn't help but look at Huang Zu with admiration. This is definitely not a short-sighted person. Why did the original history miss Gan Ning?It's so weird.

What Huang Zu said is the truth, but at the negotiating table, black and white are often reversed.

"Ha ha."

Qin Hao sneered and said lightly: "As long as Liu Yao doesn't take the initiative to provoke this marquis, what does it have to do with me whether he takes Jiang Xia or not?
To be honest, Ben Hou doesn't care about the three counties in Jiangbei, but since you dare to take the initiative to provoke me, you will naturally have to pay the corresponding price to prevent you from waiting for the scar and forgetting the pain. "

Huang Zu's face was full of pain. Qin Hao wanted to teach him a lesson he would never forget. It seemed that it was impossible to retreat without bleeding.

Huang Zu took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Jiangxia is willing to cut the land in these six counties if you don't need to pay for the money."

Qin Hao showed a triumphant smile and opened his lips lightly: "Yes. After the money, grain and land are delivered, you can leave."
