While drinking, the peace talks entered the formal stage.
Duan Wumuchen said that Duan Xianbei still served the Jin Kingdom as the main body and had no intention of raising troops to cause rebellion. He was previously confused by Wang Jun and had a misunderstanding about Zhao Hanzhang, but now the misunderstanding has been resolved.
Zhao Hanzhang naturally comforted them and told them not to worry or be afraid. The emperor knew their loyalty, and she would also speak kindly to the emperor. Since it was a misunderstanding, it would be fine to talk it out.
Even Shi Le couldn't help but snorted in his heart. Was it a misunderstanding or was it not her who had the final say? What was the little emperor doing?
No matter what Duan Wu Muchen thought, when Tuoba Yilu, Zu Ti, and Shi Le appeared here at the same time, he knew that he could not take the initiative to fight this battle, and he did not want to fight it.
Yes, at this time, they were not united and their troops were not as powerful as him. He could really attack the Yan Kingdom with a fierce charge, but what happened next?
Unless he can kill Zhao Hanzhang on the spot, even if he repels these people at this time, the Zhao army will still be able to come back later.
Zhao Hanzhang doesn't want to fight because victims are everywhere now, but if there is a war, can she still defeat him?
However, although Duan Wumuchen agreed to return to Liaoxi County and return Beiping County to Youzhou, he did not just retreat. Duan Wumuchen proposed marriage to Zhao Hanzhang.
He and Wang Jun were originally related by marriage, but Zhao Hanzhang had eliminated his father-in-law's supporter, so he should marry a girl from the Zhao family to the Duan family.
Of course, the target is not Duan Wu Muchen, but his son Duan Ji Lujuan.
Zhao Hanzhang's eyes darkened slightly. He glanced at Duan Ji's family members first, and then asked with a smile: "The prince has not married yet?"
Duan Wumuchen said: "As long as the general is willing to marry Zhao's daughter, she will be his official wife."
Zhao Hanzhang sneered in his heart, but his face did not change. He was still gentle, "My daughter of the Zhao family has to go to the court just like the boys. If the Duke of Liaoxi wants to marry the daughter of the Zhao family, what kind of official position can he give her?"
Fu Tinghan said: "If Liaoxi County can accept people from the Zhao family to serve as officials, why limit it to men and women? I think a few clan brothers in the school are good."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kuan knew that Zhao Hanzhang was dissatisfied with the marriage, and immediately smiled at Duan Wumuchen and said, "If Duke Liaoxi doesn't dislike it, I am willing to go to Liaoxi County. I don't ask for high-ranking officials, but can be a small boy beside the Duke and the Crown Prince."
Officials can do it."
Duan Wumuchen: ...What he wants is a daughter-in-law, not a nail.
Duan Wumuchen made excuses and refused.
Zhao Hanzhang put down his wine bowl and said with a smile: "Liaoxi Gong has made great contributions in running Liaoxi County over the years and appeasing the Xianbei people. He should be granted the title of Grand Chanyu."
Duan Wumuchen's eyes lit up, he immediately stood up and knelt down and said: "I pay my respects to you, General."
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and asked: "How many sons does the Great Chanyu have?"
Duan Wumuchen was stunned for a moment and then said: "There are five."
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at the young men behind him, pointed at one and asked with a smile, "Is this the same?"
Duan Wumuchen said: "This is my second son, Duan Pixi."
Zhao Hanzhang himself did not expect that he would point out Duan Pixun with just one finger, and immediately said with a smile: "What a handsome man, I wonder if Da Shanyu is willing to let him follow me and come to Jin to become a general?"
Duan Wumuchen's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hesitated to look at Zhao Hanzhang's face, wanting to know if she was tough, or could she beg for mercy?
But the smile on her face remained the same, no more or less than when he asked for marriage just now. Duan Wumuchen really couldn't see it.
And precisely because of this, he couldn't grasp what she meant.
No one spoke for a while.
No one was trying to smooth things over, and Zhao Hanzhang had no intention of speaking again. He just gently raised his eyelids and stared at him, waiting for him to give an answer.
Duan Wumuchen finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
Zhao Hanzhang smiled slightly, satisfied, and said to Duan Pixi, whose face turned pale: "Just follow me. I will try your skills later."
Duan Wumuchen tried his best not to look at his second son, and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "The son of a dog is General Lao."
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Shanyu, I will take care of the second young master."
Huh, how can a marriage be as straightforward as being a hostage? They are all protons. It is better to have someone from someone else's family than someone from your own family. Anyway, whoever has the most fists will listen to whoever has it. Without her high position and authority, it is the truth that the daughter of the Zhao family will be married off to Xianbei.
Aren't you worried? Then just let one of your sons be my hostage.
Duan Wumuchen also suspected that Zhao Hanzhang was retaliating against him for proposing a marriage. Otherwise, how could she not have missed a word when she proposed the conditions before?
At the end of the peace talks, Zhao Hanzhang generously gave Duan Pixi one day to say goodbye to his family.
Because of this, Shi Le was worried. Now his family and army were scattered in Bingzhou and Jizhou. Zhao Hanzhang also asked him to hand over a hostage. Who should he hand over?
At this moment, Shi Le felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have killed Shi Hu at that time, leaving him behind to maybe be a proton.
While he was thinking wildly, Zhao Hanzhang turned to Shi Le and said: "I will leave in two days, and I will release all the people in Youzhou counties. When you come back, you have to take good care of them, resettle the refugees, and open schools. If there is a shortage of people, ask me for any county magistrate."
All appointments must be approved by the imperial court."
Shi Le frowned slightly, "Can't I choose my own county magistrate?"
"No," Zhao Hanzhang said calmly: "Shilong, you are the governor of Youzhou, not the king of Youzhou. The appointment and removal of county magistrates in each state must be approved by the court. If you are the governor of Youzhou, the appointment and removal of county magistrates is yours. Then you can
When I became the governor of Jizhou, the same thing happened when I was the governor of Yuzhou. If things continue like this, will there be any order in the world?"
Shi Le's heart moved and he asked, "Do you need a child to serve you?"
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "How old is your son? You can raise your own son by yourself. I don't have the habit of raising sons for others."
After that, he turned around and left.
Shi Le breathed a sigh of relief quietly. He only had one son now, and to be honest, he was very reluctant to part with him.
He quickly followed.
Zu Ti walked beside him, turned to him and said: "Shishi, there is no difference between you and me."
Shi Le didn't say a word, Zhang Bin kept his heart in mind, and waited until they returned to their own tent before whispering comfort: "My lord, this time is different from before. Zhao Hanzhang has a strong army and a strong man. He is not like the former master and the soft man."
, you see, he uses Zu Ti and Beigong Chun, but they are not allowed to occupy the land and become kings. They all have to obey the imperial decree."
"It can also be seen from this that she treats you just like Zu Ti and Bei Gongchun. You only need to be careful if he treats you the same way as Duan Wu Muchen."
Shi Le said: "I know, sir, don't worry, I won't fall out with her because of this."
"I was lucky to be able to save my life when I surrendered to her. I was even more lucky to be able to save my army and my family later and not have to start over again." Shi Le had experienced many bad situations in his life. He had been a slave and a slave.
The bandits once conquered a state and almost became local bullies. Later, they were beaten down to only seven or eight people. They were displaced and fled everywhere, and then they made a comeback...
So what can't he accept?
Although he was not happy about Zhao Hanzhang's toughness, he had no power to resist at this time. As for the future, hum, he would be the governor of Youzhou, and he would naturally have the final say on how Youzhou develops in the future.
At this time, Zhao Hanzhang was talking to Wei Jie: "Although Shi Le is arrogant, he is good at listening to others' advice and loves talents. I would like to ask you to stay in Youzhou temporarily and help him rebuild Youzhou."
Wei Jie was stunned, "Me?"
Zhao Hanzhang: Huh, you want my sisters as hostages, I’ll take your son as a hostage
