At this time, Yang Jian's envoy Liu Qiu, who was in Xiangyang, did not know that his family was still negotiating, and the Han Dynasty had already determined his family as the ultimate strategic goal in the future in the court.
Ignorant people are happy. At least now Liu Qiu feels that the negotiation in front of him is really likely to succeed. Although Li Xingchen has left, Yang Yue, who stayed to preside over the negotiations, is no longer asking for prices as before.
Instead, he began to discuss every clause with Liu Qiu in a serious manner.
At the same time, news from Yang Jian also arrived. He was very satisfied with the conditions Liu Qiu insisted on, and even allowed Liu Qiu to make concessions in several directions.
As Yang Jian returned to Chang'an and Yu Wenxian returned to Yecheng, both sides were preparing for the war in the coming spring, so Li Xingchen's attitude became more and more important at this time. Especially Yang Jian, his territory is now the largest among the three parties.
The youngest, so naturally the one who is most afraid of being divided between Li Xingchen and Yu Wenxian.
The conditions offered by Yang Jian were indeed very attractive. The two sides completely began to trade. At the same time, unilateral tax-free trade bazaars opened to the Han were set up in several important towns inside Guanzhong to provide convenience for Han merchants.
At the same time, Yang Jian will use gold, jewelry and other items as collateral to purchase Dahan's new thunderbolt chariots and bed crossbows to deal with the upcoming fortification and city defense battles that may occur.
If the first sale can proceed successfully, then Yang Jian will not understand how to use Li Xingchen to intervene in the Central Plains war, and is even willing to hand over Nanyang City to Li Xingchen. The two sides will divide Hebei and Qingzhou equally according to the previously negotiated plan.
In fact, it is surprising enough that Yang Jian can make such a concession. After all, Yang Jian currently has the smallest territory, and all he needs to do is to expand it as much as possible. If he cedes his land, it will inevitably cause conflicts between the government and the opposition.
Yang Jian's reputation was also dealt a huge blow to Yang Jian's strong opposition.
But in other words, Nanyang is now in Li Xingchen's pocket. It just depends on when the Han army will come to take it. So instead of having the last bit of face torn off by the Han, it is better to give it up.
Can get more benefits.
What's more, once the Han Dynasty enters the Central Plains war situation, the original balance will be broken. As long as Yang Jian can defeat Yu Wenxian, he can have as much land and population as he wants. A Nanyang City that is completely isolated outside the defense line, Yang Jian is willing to
.
But what is really more surprising is that Yang Jian even allowed Liu Qiu to consider a direct marriage with the Han Dynasty, and was willing to marry his daughter to Li Xinchen as a concubine, which was actually a concubine, to further consolidate the alliance between the two parties.
Marriage, this is not a strange clause, but the problem is that the Northern and Southern Dynasties have been independent and in confrontation for hundreds of years. There is no marriage relationship between the North and the South at all, because both sides believe that they stand on the commanding heights of morality and ethics.
On the front line, there is no difference between the other party and the barbarians, so everyone can maintain a tacit understanding of "peace" on the front line, but this tacit understanding cannot really be implemented in the royal bloodline.
Marriage, what does this mean? Does it mean that the other party is recognized as a dynasty with the same status as "the best of Qin and Jin", or does it mean to humbly ask for peace from the other party in this way like the marriage of the Han Dynasty?
No matter which one it is, it obviously violates the moral authority of the dynasty to settle down and live, so it cannot be done. But now that Yang Jian has directly raised the matter of marriage, Liu Qiu, who is responsible for presiding over the negotiations, naturally
Even Yang Yue on the opposite side was at a loss.
What did Yang Jian mean by this? Did he want to express that the two sides were a friendly alliance like the "Qin and Jin", or did he want to express that Li Xingchen was just a barbarian, and Yang Jian did this just like the Han Dynasty and wanted to restrain Li Xingchen?
Regarding this matter, Yang Yue did not dare to make the decision for a while. Your Majesty's harem is indeed not large in scale, but if you directly give your Majesty Yang Jian's daughter, I am afraid that your Majesty's harem will really not stop. If nothing else,
Yuchi Chifan and Yang's daughter will definitely fight.
Thinking about it, Yang Yue felt cold in the back, so he could only send someone eight hundred miles to pass the news back to Jiankang Mansion as soon as possible, and then confirm the remaining terms with Liu Qiu first.
————————-
When he received the news from Xiangyang, Li Xinchen was in the Taiwei Mansion watching Yang Su lead several officials to deduce the Guanzhong strategy.
On the huge sand table, the words Chang'an are particularly attractive.
Now Luoyang has been completely devastated by years of war, and the only cities that can truly be called metropolises are Chang'an and Yecheng. These have long been the two political and military centers in the north, and it is also easy to form separatist regimes in the north.
One of the reasons.
The significance of taking these two cities is extraordinary.
And Yecheng is still in the north of the river, so there is no need to consider it now. The closest and more realistic one is naturally Chang'an City. The Taiwei Mansion has also conducted tactical deductions for Chang'an City many times, but now with the
Due to the changes in the northwest war situation, some areas need to be repaired.
Li Xingchen's purpose in setting up the Taiwei Mansion was to play an overall planning and staff role. Of course, he did not foolishly draw pictures like Song Taizong to arrange his generals. He just set up a central organization in the center to be able to
Make plans for future operations in a grand strategic direction.
After all, no matter where a general is, in ancient times when intelligence was limited, it was impossible for him to truly control the entire battle situation alone. He was usually mainly responsible for one route or a few surrounding troops. However, now the Han Dynasty's attack on Guanzhong
But with Chang'an as the target, a multi-faceted simultaneous attack from Nanyang all the way to the northwest. No matter who the coach is or where he is, it is difficult to coordinate the attack.
Therefore, it is still very necessary to formulate a grand strategy and determine the basic offensive goals in each offensive direction.
Looking at the anxious and sloppy handwriting written by Yang Yue, Li Xingchen couldn't help but laugh and handed it to Yang Su next to him: "This Duke of Sui, is he addicted to being a father-in-law?"
It has to be said that Yang Jian has quite a lot of experience in matters such as marriage. His rise to the present day is because of his status as the son-in-law of the Dugu family, and later he was trusted by Yu Wen Yun because he was Yu Wen Yun's father-in-law.
Now he is in this position where he can cover the sky with his hands.
Now Yang Jian wants to marry his daughter to Li Xinchen? Is this guy addicted to being a father-in-law, or does he want to make all the emperors in the world his son-in-law?
Yang Su was startled for a moment, and then said helplessly: "I'm afraid Yang Jian also wants to seek medical treatment urgently. Now that our attitude continues to be ambiguous, it is not a good thing for him. This winter will be over in a blink of an eye."
"It's really a simple and quick method." Li Xingchen sighed with emotion. (To be continued)
