Chapter 717 Participating in Peace Talks

Pingzhou government office

The civilian and military generals in Pingzhou reacted fiercely to the new requests for peace talks between Dali and Xianbei.

Qin Zhao, Guo Chong, Ji Wuyin, Wang Juntao, Chen Ping, Liu Heshan, Guo Chunsheng, Xu Zheng, Chen Yue, Jiang Yizhou, Gu Huaisheng, Jiang Shaoyan, Ning Changge, Zhou Bo and others all expressed their opinions and spoke freely.

Pei Zheng, Liu Shaojun and Xue Jin are the young heads of the three families in Hedong respectively. They are new to Pingzhou. Based on the principle of listening more, watching more and talking less, looking at the active Pingzhou officials, they all feel that the capital of Pingzhou is The discussion atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"What do Dali and Xianbei want to do? Are they afraid of us in Pingzhou by asking for peace talks in such a low profile?"

"No, Dali and Xianbei are acting in the same way. Is there something fishy about it?"

"Is it possible that the two parties have secretly joined forces?"

"Isn't it possible? The previous Xianbei went south to Hedong to plunder. So shameless, will Song Mo agree to cooperate?"

"Hard to say."

"It would be too spineless for Song Mo to agree to cooperate."

Seeing that the issues discussed by everyone were becoming more and more divergent, Xu Zheng couldn't help but say something, bringing the focus of the discussion back, "No matter whether there is a rift between Dali and Xianbei in private, the question now is, should we agree to peace talks?"

Guo Chong suggested, "Governor, I think you might as well agree. After all, Dali and Xianbei are so sincere."

Lu Songli said in her heart that she was indeed sincere. The two parties combined took a total of three states for peace talks.

Ji Wuyin looked around and said, "Governor, I think we should be cautious about this matter."

For Ji Wuyin, who has been in the business for a long time, the safety of his principal is the most important. In this peace negotiation, the other party requires the governor to attend. The governor is equivalent to the principal of their Pingzhou power, so they cannot be too careful.

Lu Songli looked at the civil officials having a heated discussion, and then thought about the generals stationed in various places. There were so many talents in Pingzhou, which gave her the feeling that advisers were like rain and generals were like clouds.

"The governor will participate in this tripartite peace talks."

First of all, in today's world, people have been longing for peace for a long time. At present, both the people of Dali and the people of Pingzhou are looking forward to the end of the war. Since this is the common wish of the people, they cannot go against Pingzhou's wishes.

Furthermore, an armistice and peace talks would also be beneficial to Pingzhou.

In this battle, Pingzhou fought against Xianbei and Dali at the same time, and in one fell swoop captured the three major states of Jizhou and Qingzhou, plus Sushen and a large area east of Hedong.

This battle directly expanded the territory by nearly twice, annihilated 180,000 Xianbei troops, and severely damaged Xianbei. Although it did not shake its foundation, it also made it scream in pain.

Also, more than 100,000 Dali soldiers were eliminated and transformed.

Overall, Pingzhou was full and tired at the same time.

The three parties shook hands and negotiated peace, just in time for Pingzhou to rest and digest.

At this time, Ji Wuyin came out and said, "Governor, the peace talks are okay, but I don't agree with the governor's personal participation in the peace talks. As the saying goes, the son of a rich man will not sit down in court. The location of this peace talk will definitely not be arranged in Pingzhou. In addition, , Dali and Xianbei are very likely to have a secret relationship, and if the governor goes there, there may be an accident. "

Everyone present said that Ji Wuyin and Xue Xu were indeed good friends, and they were equally afraid of death.

Lu Songli said nothing.

This time, the top leaders of the three parties participated in the peace talks, and the scale must be unprecedented. Safety issues are a top priority.

At this time, Xian Feng took a step forward and spoke, "Master Ji, I know that you are worried about the safety of the governor during this trip, but our escort team is not a vegetarian, and we will fight to the death to protect the safety of the governor."

At this time, Qin Zhao also said, "What Master Xian said is absolutely true. Since the development of Pingzhou, there is no place that the governor cannot go to. The governor does not need to worry about them. Whether it is Dali or Xianbei, if anyone dares to make any changes, we will wait for them." We will lead the army to conquer the two lands!”

Lu Songli agreed, "Okay! The safety of this governor will be left to you."

Song Mo and Tuoba Khan shouted to Pingzhou from a distance and asked her to participate in the peace talks. Both of them will attend. If she doesn't dare to agree, doesn't it mean that she is afraid of them?

This matter involves Pingzhou's face and prestige, and she cannot retreat or refuse.

After setting the general tone of agreeing to peace talks, how and what to talk about in the peace talks became the next priority.

"Xianbei must have bad intentions when he gets involved."

"Now Xianbei is using the northern border and Liangzhou as bargaining chips. If the conditions they propose are within our tolerance, should we accept them?"

An official was the first to say excitedly, "Accept it! Why not accept it? What an achievement it would be to regain the lost territory."

Some people who wanted to refute couldn't help but look at Lu Songli who was standing above him. This matter concerns the governor's merits. Should he still object?

Lu Songli said, "You don't have to worry. If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Master Chen, don't just look at merit. Let's not presuppose what conditions Xianbei will put forward. Let's just say that if we bring back the northern border and Liangzhou, how will we defend it? How will we govern it?"

Yes, Pingzhou is located in the northeast, and Beijing and Liangzhou are located in the northwest. The two places are separated by the huge Yongzhou. In addition, there is also Xianbei in Hexi.

If the northern border and Liangzhou are taken back, Pingzhou will inevitably face the situation of dividing its troops. Now that there are troops stationed in Pingzhou in the south, who will take charge of the overall situation in Liangzhou in the north?

"Is this the conspiracy of Dali and Xianbei? They want Pingzhou to disperse their military strength!"

"This can only be one of the purposes of their request for peace talks."

However, can their army in Pingzhou support the southeast, northeast and northwest?

On this issue, Pingzhou officials discussed it again.

……

Dali and Xianbei received a reply from Pingzhou, and Pingzhou agreed to peace talks. The next step is to choose the location for the peace talks.

The location of the peace talks was arranged in Hancheng, east of Hedong, which was the junction of the three forces.

Once the location has been decided, the next step is to set the time for peace talks.

Both Dali and Xianbei hope to sit down and have peace talks as soon as possible. Therefore, the peace talks they proposed are relatively tight.

They hope to have peace talks before September 30, that is, in ten days. I asked Pingzhou, "Is it okay to set this date? Governor Lu can arrive as scheduled, right?"

The contempt in their words made Pingzhou officials jump.

"What do they mean? They despise us?"

"Don't look at how close they are to Hancheng, and how far our Pingzhou government office is from Hancheng!"

Among the three forces, whether Song Mo went to Hancheng or Tuoba Khan went to Hancheng, they were much closer than Pingzhou. They walked over slowly, and it only took them two or three days at most.

However, the road from Changli in Liaoxi County, Pingzhou to Hancheng is not much different from Changli to Chang'an. If we leave it alone, even if we take a carriage, it will take more than half a month.

But because Pingzhou has built roads and has shipping...

Pingzhou estimates that the governor and his party will reach Hancheng in about five days if nothing unexpected happens.

After the time was set, Guo Chong asked Qin Zhao quietly, "Master Liu will be back within five days, right?"

Qin Zhao calculated the time and replied, "I heard that I have returned a few days ago. I should be able to return."

Chang'an, Imperial Palace

Song Mo looked at the map and saw that there were still six states left in Dali. Yongzhou was sandwiched between Xianbei and Dali. It could even be said that it was trying to survive in the cracks.

After losing Hedong, most of Dali's troops have now been deployed in various places in Yongzhou to guard against enemy forces and guard Chang'an.

The dignified Emperor of Dali has been forced to move the capital, which is very ridiculous.

Deep in Song Mo's eyes, there was a flash of profound madness!
