After these days of back-and-forth negotiations, the Wei State has actually made a compromise. The Wei officials, led by Wei Zhen, still hope to replace Emperor Cao Wei first.
As for the two conditions proposed by Fei Yi, after discussion with the Wei ministers, they felt that they were still negotiable.
"Mr. Fei!" Wei Zhen said with a smile: "The Han and Wei families are adjacent to each other. Before, you and I also had a good relationship with the Qin and Jin Dynasties."
But when Wei Zhen just said this, Fei Yi laughed: "What a great Qin and Jin, but little did you know that this war between Han and Wei was instigated by your country Wei."
Fei Yi's words made all the ministers speechless.
No way——
The Wei Dynasty suffered a loss, and now it has lost the battle.
"Mr. Fei is right..." Wei Zhen said in a low tone: "It's my fault, Wei, to restart the war... Don't we already have a chance for peace talks now?"
"Mr. Fei...we are willing to negotiate." Wei Zhen said affirmatively.
"That's very good." Fei Yi said with a smile: "Then please ask Da Wei to fulfill the peace negotiation conditions proposed by my big Han. From now on, the two countries will not only stop fighting, but I will also fulfill my promise and release those captured by my big Han."
the kings and ministers of your country."
Since leaving Chang'an, Fei Yi had actually guessed that the Han Dynasty had the initiative in the Luoyang talks, and there was no way Cao Wei would compromise unless they ignored Cao Rui's life and death.
Although two days ago,
Some ministers in Wei State argued hard, but in Fei Yi's view,
This is just their imagination,
In other words, I want to force him to compromise.
But Fei Yi doesn't accept this trick.
The two sides discussed again today,
Fei Yi has clearly felt that this negotiation will have a result soon.
Because the Wei courtiers still hope to get their emperor back.
"Mr. Fei!" Wei Zhen said again: "The conditions proposed by your country are really too harsh.
This is tantamount to subverting the foundation of our Wei Dynasty... I would like to ask Mr. Fei to make some concessions." Wei Zhen said with a smile and said: "I, the Wei Dynasty, are showing sincerity now and really want to make peace with the Han Dynasty.
Get along."
After Wei Zhen finished speaking, Fei Yi did not answer immediately.
But my heart is secretly happy.
"Mr. Fei!"
Seeing that Fei Yi was silent, Wei Zhen continued: "I think the Han people also hope to strive for a stable environment for the people... If the Han and Wei Dynasties continue to fight..." Wei Zhen said, but he said confidently: "I am a big man.
Wei Shang has hundreds of thousands of troops... If the two countries continue to fight like this, who will win in the end?
It’s not known yet.”
This is Wei Zhen’s bargaining chip.
Although the Han Dynasty now won the battle of Jinyang,
But the foundation of Wei Dynasty has not been shaken.
The Wei Dynasty still had hundreds of thousands of troops in Central China.
This is not a lie.
If a war breaks out between Han and Wei, Cao Wei will still have the power to fight.
Big man——
It is not possible to completely destroy the Wei Dynasty yet.
"Hahaha!" Fei Yi said with a smile: "Do you think I, a big man, can't fight?"
Fei Yi naturally knew that Wei Zhen wanted to use his strength to scare him.
But is he so easily frightened?
After all, the big man is the winner now.
"Mr. Fei!"
"The big Han can naturally fight..." Wei Zhen said: "But is the big Han really ready to start a full-scale war with me, the Wei Dynasty?"
This——
Although Fei Yi is calm on the surface,
But I know it in my heart.
A full-scale war broke out with Cao Wei,
A big man really doesn’t have the confidence.
Let’s not talk about anything else first,
This is the current comparison of military strength between the two countries,
The total strength of the Han Dynasty was only over 200,000 people.
And we have been fighting continuously in the past few months,
The loss is not small.
If a full-scale war really breaks out with Cao Wei.
The big man... is still difficult to deal with.
It was also for this reason that the Prime Minister made the decision to negotiate with Cao Wei.
Although I know it in my heart, I can't show weakness with my mouth.
Fei Yi smiled and said: "If your country is willing to put all your money into it,
A full-scale war breaks out with my big man,
Our great warriors will never retreat even a step."
Fei Yi just finished speaking,
Wei Zhen couldn't help but frown slightly.
Because if we continue to talk like this, there will still be no results in this negotiation. After all, the war of words will not help the results.
More importantly, in this negotiation, the Han Dynasty took the initiative, while the Wei Dynasty was passive.
The further we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be to the Wei Dynasty.
"Mr. Fei!" Wei Zhen cupped his hands to Fei Yi and said, "In order to show our sincerity in the peace talks of the Wei Dynasty, although we, the Wei Dynasty, cannot fully accept the two conditions that your country has previously proposed, we can accept some of them."
Fei Yi didn't answer, and Wei Zhen said directly: "First of all, five hundred carts of fine iron. At present, it is difficult for me, the Wei Dynasty, to prepare so much at the moment, but I can promise to give you three hundred carts of fine iron;" said Wei Zhen
I glanced at Fei Yi to see his reaction.
Just——
Fei Yi remained calm without any disturbance.
"As for the cession of eight counties..." Wei Zhen said this, and said with embarrassment: "I, the Wei Dynasty, really can't accept it..." As soon as these words came out, Fei Yi was about to speak, but Wei Zhen added: "But ...We, the Wei Dynasty, can assign the three counties of Hedong, Leping, and Taiyuan to the Han Dynasty. This is also the bottom line of our Wei Dynasty!"
Three counties, three hundred cars of refined iron?
Fei Yi burst out laughing immediately, and then said: "In your eyes, do you think the captured monarchs and ministers of your country are only worth three hundred chariots of fine iron?"
Fei Yi naturally heard Wei Zhen's proposal very clearly. It was Hedong, Taiyuan, and Leping that were currently occupied by the Han Dynasty. Cao Wei knew that it would be difficult to recapture it, so he followed the trend.
These three counties were assigned to the Han Dynasty.
Because even if Cao Wei disagrees, these three counties will still belong to the Han Dynasty.
So in the final analysis, Cao Wei planned to use 300 carts of refined iron.
I just want to get Cao Rui back.
"No, no, no..." Wei Zhen waved his hand and said: "We, the Wei Dynasty, have agreed to assign the three counties of Taiyuan, Hedong and Leping to the Han Dynasty.
How can we talk about using only three hundred carts of fine iron?"
"Everyone -" Fei Yi said: "This morning, Fei has received the news that the five counties of Taiyuan, Hedong, Leping, Shangdang, and Xinxing have all been returned to our great Han Dynasty." As he said this, he slightly raised his hand to Wei Zhen, and then said : "Do you think that your country's proposal to exchange three counties for your king and ministers is ridiculous?"
"Even if your country does not agree, I would like to ask if the above five counties can still restore Wei?"
As soon as Fei Yi's words came out, Wei Zhen and others were shocked. They had only been thinking about how to negotiate with Fei Yi these days and did not know the current situation in the central Shanxi area.
In fact, just after Zhao Tong captured Cao Rui, Liu Chan sent Wei Yan to conquer the surrounding counties of Jinyang.
The first two counties to be captured were Leping and Shangdang counties.
Because Cao Rui had previously mobilized troops to attack Jinyang and had transferred the troops originally stationed in Shangdang and Leping. After this defeat, Cao Wei had not had time to replenish troops in these two counties.
When Wei Yan led his army here, the defenders of the two counties had the strength to resist, so they quickly opened the city and surrendered to the Han army. As for Xinxing County, although there was a short-term resistance, they faced the Han army with obvious superiority in strength. , and did not hold out for long before Wei Yan captured the city.
"At this moment..." Fei Yi added: "We, the former general of the Han Dynasty, Wei Yan, should have already arrived at Yanmen City." As he said this, Fei Yi glanced around the hall, and then said with a smile: "Do you think , can Yanmen County still stop our Han army’s cavalry?”
