Chapter 181
Chapter 1 Eighty: After the battle of Yuzhang

Cui Hao is willing to lower the conditions, but Zhang Chao is still not satisfied. What Cui Hao said just now is to scare Zhang Chao. Although Yuzhang is in a mess now, it is because of the incident after the entry of the Vietnamese army. If Deng Jun is allowed to continue fighting, with Deng Jun's current strength, it is impossible to break the deadlock unless there are more troops, and the matter of Princess Tai'an is Deng Sheng's death order.

Cui Hao thought for a while, and said: "Well, for Princess Tai'an to return to China, and for the sake of Senior Zhang Xiang, we are willing to reduce the amount of compensation. As long as we return to China and return Princess Tai'an, we only need 30 gold and food. 200 million shi, 15 cloth and [-] silk each, and [-] warships, but Lujiang County has nothing to discuss."

Zhang Chao thought for a while, and found that this amount was not much different from what he expected, and it was acceptable, but it was absolutely impossible for Lujiang County, so he said: "Cui Xiang, this amount is actually acceptable, but it is impossible for Lujiang County Come out, if Cui Xiang insists on Lujiang County, then our country can only accompany it to the end."

"You..." Cui Hao pretended to be dissatisfied, and Cui Hao was relieved to solve the matter of Princess Tai'an. As for Lujiang County, Cui Hao knew that Wu Guo would not let it out. The reason why he bit Lujiang to death , just to draw out the later incident.

"Cui Xiang, calm down." Su Hong persuaded Cui Xiang: "Cui Xiang, let me talk to Zhang Xiang."

"Huh!" Cui Hao snorted coldly, nodded, and stopped talking.

Su Hong smiled and said to Zhang Chao: "Mr. Zhang, in fact, the matter of Lujiang County is not impossible to discuss. As long as your country can agree to one condition of our country, then we will give up Lujiang County. What do you think?"

"Conditions? What conditions? Please ask Su Shangshu to clarify." Of course, Zhang Chao would not be so stupid as to agree, but he heard that Deng Guo could give up claiming Lujiang County, so he asked Su Hong what conditions he wanted.

Su Hongdao: "As long as your country is willing to lend a way to our army and give way to our army in Ai County, then we are willing to give up Lujiang County. How does Zhang Xiang think?"

"What! An excuse? Is it possible that your country is going to attack Hunan?" Zhang Chao was shocked. Deng Guo offered an excuse, and it was still Ai County, which borders Hunan. Even a fool would have guessed what Deng Guo wanted to do. .

Su Hong nodded, and said: "Master Zhang made a good guess. In the Battle of Yuzhang, Xiang State disrupted the situation without authorization. My king is very dissatisfied, so it is imperative to send troops to Xiang State. If Zhang Xiang finds it difficult, then we will not force it. If you don’t give way, just give the Lujiang River to our country.”

"This..." Zhang Chao was a little tangled up. Xiang Guo and Wu Guo are related by marriage, and to a certain extent they can be regarded as Wu Guo's allies, and with Xiang Guo here, Wu Guo does not have to directly face the pressure from Deng Guo, but Now that the state of Wu is too busy to take care of itself, it still has so much to do with it. As the saying goes, a dead friend does not die, so long as Deng state no longer insists on Lujiang, what does the life and death of Xiang state have to do with Wu state.

So Zhang Chao nodded and said, "Okay, our country is willing to borrow the way."

Cui Hao, Jiang Wan, and Su Hong looked at each other, smiled, and it was done.

Cui Hao said: "Okay, since Prime Minister Zhang has agreed, let's discuss the terms. We will inform the king of this matter and ask for the consent of the king. Prime Minister Zhang will also send people back to Wu Kingdom as soon as possible. As long as the peace agreement is reached, our two countries will really turn hostility into friendship."

Zhang Chao nodded.

After the conversation, Zhang Chao immediately left Jingyang Palace, returned to the post house, wrote down the memorial, and sent someone to rush back to Wucheng.

On the other hand, after Deng Sheng learned about the whole process of the negotiation, he was very satisfied and praised the three of them greatly.

On June 14, the [-]th year of Qianyuan, Deng and Wu reached an armistice agreement.

In the Palace of Wu, Princess Tai'an held her son's ashes in her hands, took her daughter and her personal maid Lian Er, and got on the car to Chaisang. However, the King of Wu didn't know whether it was to express his sincerity or to miss the old relationship between husband and wife, but he came in person. See you off, and Ma Shi also came.

King Wu watched Princess Tai'an leave, but Ma Shi who was beside him was very happy. The woman finally left, and she no longer had to worry about it. A smile appeared on her face.

And all of this was seen by King Wu's personal servant, who sneered in his heart. This woman didn't know that she was about to face a catastrophe. It is also very clear that it is absolutely impossible for Xiang country to be able to resist Deng country. As long as Xiang country is destroyed, this woman's fate will probably not be much better than Princess Tai'an.

On the fifth day of July in the 14th year of Qianyuan, Princess Tai'an and her party arrived in Chaisang, and Yang Yanzhao led his generals out of the city to meet them.

"My minister, Yang Yanzhao, led the generals of the Eastern Expedition to welcome Your Highness the Princess, and welcome Your Highness to return to the country!" Outside Chaisang City, Yang Yanzhao drove to Princess Tai'an's car.

"Welcome Your Highness to return home!" Yang Yanzhao took the lead, and all the generals shouted together.

At this time, Princess Tai'an took her daughter and walked slowly out of the car, came to Yang Yanzhao, smiled, and said: "General Yang, you don't need to be too polite. Speaking of which, it is thanks to General Yang that I can return to my homeland."

At this time, Princess Tai'an was full of emotions. To be honest, she had hatred in her heart when she was married to Wu by King Wuzhuang, but for the sake of Deng, she could only bear it silently, but seeing her relatives and people For herself, a princess who married far away, she did not hesitate to go to war, she was really moved.

"The princess laughed. This is all the credit of the soldiers. I dare not be ashamed. By the way, the princess, the minister has arranged a place for the princess to rest. When the princess is rested, the minister will send the princess back to Wancheng. The king and the queen mother are very happy." I miss the princess." Yang Yanzhao said.

Princess Tai'an nodded, and took her daughter and maid to the residence arranged by Yang Yanzhao. After a night's rest, they were escorted back to Wancheng by soldiers and horses arranged by Yang Yanzhao.

After sending away Princess Tai'an, Yang Yanzhao summoned the generals to discuss matters. As early as a few days ago, Yang Yanzhao received an order from Deng Sheng to lead his troops south to Ai County, from Ai County to Changsha County of Hunan State, and approached The capital of Hunan is Linxiang, but it was only delayed in order to welcome Princess Tai'an.

"Everyone, Your Majesty has ordered us to go south to Ai County, raid Changsha, and approach Linxiang City, the capital of Hunan. We did not succeed in the battle of Yuzhang. This is a good opportunity for us to make contributions. "In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yang Yanzhao said seriously.

In the Battle of Yuzhang, Deng Jun's performance was somewhat unsatisfactory, and it could even be said to be very poor, so Yang Yanzhao also held his breath and planned to make meritorious deeds in the Battle of Hunan and make up for his mistakes.

"General Yang, I wonder what the imperial court's plans are for this battle?" Yao Guangxiao asked.

Yang Yanzhao said: "This time, the imperial court decided to send troops in two ways. On the one hand, General Chang Yuchun of Nanjun Commanded Nanjun soldiers and horses to attack Hunan from north to south, and at the same time contain the main force of Xiang. Forced to approach Xiangcheng, and wipe out Xiangguo in one fell swoop."

"That's a good thing. General Chang is holding back the main force of the Hunan Army in the north. If we attack from Ai County, we can easily attack Linxiang City." In the First World War, Murong Ke wiped out 5 people at once, leaving [-] to [-] people. This time, Deng Jun's two troops combined had [-] to [-] troops. It is not too easy to fight a Hunan country.

Yang Yanzhao is also very happy. Since the Battle of Extinguishing Jing, he has never participated in such a battle of destroying the country. As long as he can capture Linxiang before Chang Yuchun, then the first victory in this battle will be his own. Isn't it easy for the official to return to his original post by then?

But Yang Yanzhao still has to be cautious, if Chang Yuchun captures Linxiang in front of him, then his credit will be lost, so he said to everyone: "I know that everyone is very happy, but I am happy if I am happy, this battle still has to be won." If you try your best, if the Nanjun army takes the lead in capturing Linxiang, then the credit will be lost."

"General Yang, don't worry, our army is twice as strong as the Nanjun army, and it is the closest to Linxiang City. If the Nanjun army takes the lead, then we will be ashamed." Zhang Fei said carelessly.

"Yes, don't worry, general, we will definitely take the first to take down Linxiang City." Everyone echoed.

Seeing this, Yang Yanzhao nodded with a smile, and said: "Okay, since everyone is so confident, then go down and rectify the troops. After ten days, we will go south to Ai County and attack Xiang Country!"

"Follow the general's order!" Everyone responded.
