Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

When Chu Mo saw the envoy sent by his eldest brother Prince Yamabei, he didn't say much and directly called the envoy from Soga Ezo.

He told him the gift he had brought to him this time and the conditions he had agreed to in front of the envoy sent by Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince.

This means that both parties can bid on their own.

After seeing the envoys sent by Soga Ezo and the conditions they gave, the envoys of Yamabeko's eldest brother, the prince, did not hesitate at all and directly added [-]% to the other party's original price.

Upon hearing the other party's increase in price, the envoy from Soga Ezo was obviously not as courageous as the other party, so he said that he still had to think about it, and hurriedly returned to his residence to send a message, asking for instructions from Soga Ezo.

When Soga Ezo saw that Yamakabe's eldest brother, the prince, had also sent an envoy, and that the price offered by the other party was far higher than his own, he jumped up in anger.

Then he replied directly to the other party, trying to get the support of the Heavenly Envoy at all costs.

He knew that if he failed in this competition, the only thing waiting for him would be death.

With Soga Ezo's instructions, the envoy suddenly gained confidence in front of Chu Mo.

He directly offered to cede the territory west of Kobe to Chu Mo in order to obtain Chu Mo's full support in the future.

The envoy sent by Yamabeko's eldest brother, the prince, was immediately frightened when he saw that the other party ceded half of Soga Ezo's territory without blinking an eye.

Although Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, had already promised when he arrived that he would obtain Chu Mo's support at all costs, but if he really followed the other party's bid and increased the price.

He believed that even if he gained Chu Mo's support, he would definitely be beheaded by Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, when he returned.

After thinking about it, he suddenly proposed that he would exchange Hokkaido for Chu Mo's promise not to help each other.

Although Hokkaido at this time also belonged to the Japanese country, the weather there was harsh and the environment was not suitable for survival. Therefore, there were not many Japanese people on the island, which was considered useless.

If I could exchange a useless piece of chicken for the help of the Heavenly Envoy, I would be making a lot of money.

Hearing that the other party actually wanted to use Hokkaido to deceive the envoy-sama and make him unable to help each other, the envoy from Soga Ezo quit on the spot.

He directly told the situation in Hokkaido and asked Chu Mo not to be fooled by the other party's lies.

In response, Chu Mo just smiled and told the other party that all he needed was land. As for whether there were people living on it and what the environment was like, that was not what he had to consider at all.

Hearing Chu Mo's words, the envoy sent by Yamabeko's eldest brother, the prince, was overjoyed, while the envoy from Soga Ezo was as hard to accept as if he had eaten a ton of rice fields.

I used the best land in the hands of Lord Soga Ezo, so I persuaded the Lord.

But he didn't expect that the envoy of Prince Yamabei's eldest brother would use Hokkaido, a place where no one has shit, in exchange for the opportunity he finally got. How could he not be angry?

However, in order not to anger Chu Mo on the spot, he finally did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. He could only grit his teeth and accept this incredible decision.

However, when the Soga Ezo envoy was leaving, Chu Mo asked him to bring a message to Soga Ezo. He still remembered that the other party still owed him three conditions that he had not yet fulfilled.

It just so happened that this time the other party took the initiative to send it to my door. How could I let go of such a good opportunity?

Chu Mo asked the envoy to go back and tell Soga Ezo that his first condition was to bring all his retainers to join him within 10 days, otherwise he would send troops to attack the opponent.

The second condition is to give all the territory and population he currently controls to himself, and not to tell the prince, Shanbei's eldest brother.

As for the third condition, Chu Mo told the other party directly that when Soga Ezo came to him, he would tell the other party in person.

The envoy was so angry that he almost vomited blood at Chu Mo's unreasonable request.

However, due to Chu Mo's lustful power and not knowing Soga Ezo's attitude, he did not dare to refute, so he could only return to Honshu Island obediently and tell the other party the news.

After hearing Chu Mo's call to surrender and asking him to sacrifice everything, Soga Ezo pulled out the saber from his waist on the spot and cut the messenger into two pieces.

Then he ordered the army to be assembled, preparing to fight Chu Mo to death.

When all the retainers and staff heard that their master was going to fight Chu Mo, their faces turned pale with fear, and they all asked Soga Ezo to think twice.

And Soga Ezo slowly began to regain his composure after the initial madness.

Finally, after everyone unanimously decided, Soga Ezo sent a letter to Chu Mo and Yamabei's eldest brother, the prince respectively.

In the letter to Chu Mo, Soga Ezo asked the other party to give him a month to think about it.

After all, something as important as surrender cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Moreover, he still has so many troops and families that depend on him. If he doesn't communicate with them and directly takes refuge with Chu Mo, then they may think that they are being controlled, but it will be bad if he causes trouble later.

Regarding Soga Ezo's request, Chu Mo thought for a while and then directly agreed.

However, Soga Ezo's letter to his eldest brother, Prince Yamakabe, told him that since the Imperial Envoy did not want the two sides to continue fighting, he was prepared to temporarily cease the war.

The ownership of the Japanese king will be decided after the heavenly envoys leave the island, or after both parties come up with a better solution.

In order to show his determination and sincerity to cease the war, Soga Ezo also mentioned in his heart that he was willing to exchange the war horses in his hands for all the ships in the hands of Yamabeko's eldest brother, the prince.

Anyone who can go to sea can be exchanged for the horses in their hands.

Yamabeko's eldest brother, the prince, was very tempted by Soga Ezo's proposal.

This war has been going on for so long, and both sides have suffered heavy losses. He would be very happy if the war could be stopped as soon as possible and the election of the Japanese king could be held through negotiation.

After all, his strength now far exceeds that of Soga Ezo, and the opponent has lost nearly half of his land this time, so he no longer poses a threat to himself.

He regarded Soga Ezo's request as a sign of submission.

Moreover, the other party also asked to exchange horses for ships. How could this not make Shanbei's eldest brother, the prince, happy?

After all, after seeing the invincible warships of the Celestial Dynasty, all ships, in the eyes of Shanbei's eldest brother, were just fishing boats.

And if he exchanges a bunch of fishing boats for the horses in Soga Ezo's hands, he will lose a big trump card. In this way, the other party will no longer be his opponent.
