Chapter 1229: Three counties in Runan


    Chapter 1227: Get the three counties in Runan again


    "Mr. Jia, my lord sent me here this time. In addition to returning Xuanyuan Pass, he also wanted the enthronement of the Luoyang court."


    Zhao Pu had no expression on his face, and could not see his joy or anger, and said lightly: "As far as we know, there are no princes who have taken the initiative to submit to the court and regard the court as the truth.


    My lord, the prefect of Runan, Song Hou, Zhao Kuangyin, is willing to be the first prince, hoping to be the imperial court as soon as possible. ”


    Zhao Pu’s implication is, as the first prince to respect the court, should the court be more generous and give a bigger title?


    Jia Xu''s eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He didn''t know if this idea was given to Zhao Kuangyin by Zhao Pu, but the person who came up with this solution was definitely not a simple person.


    Zhao Kuangyin rebelled against the slogan "clear the king''s side" put forward by Yuan Shu, and could only fool the people. People with a little knowledge would not believe it. However, if they were enfeoffed by the court, the nature of Zhao Kuangyin''s rebellion would be different.


    Can rebellion that is recognized by the court still be called rebellion? That is the just suppression of rebellion.


    If Zhao Kuangyin was enthroned by the court, he would completely occupy the justice, thus washing away the evil traitor into the justice side, and he would also have a certain advantage in the confrontation with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was automatically standing on the opposite side of the court represented by Qin Hao.


    If it were Jia Xu, he couldn''t help but say in his heart: Awesome.


    A simple act of surrendering can fundamentally change Zhao Kuangyin''s predicament. Zhao Kuangyin''s profits will be made without losing money in such a deal, and of course Jia Xu would not be so cheap.


    "This, Your Majesty is still young and cannot manage the government. This matter still needs to be the master of Qin, but Qin is now far away in Hetao to resist foreign races. If Song Hou wants to get the imperial enthronement, he may have to wait until Qin will return to the court."


    To be honest, the court urgently needs to be recognized by the princes, but if Jia Xu agreed to Zhao Kuangyin at this time, although he would also gain a lot of benefits, Zhao Kuangyin would still get more benefits, so of course Jia Xu could not agree so easily.


    Zhao Pu was disappointed when he heard this and sighed slightly: Jia Wenhe is really a cunning person. As expected, he just hides it from him. It seems that he will not be able to complete the task without bleeding.


    Although Jia Xu refused on the surface, Zhao Pu saw what Jia Xu meant. In fact, he wanted the imperial court to enthrone the imperial seal. The value of a Xuanyuan Pass was not enough, and Zhao Kuangyin still needed to pay other benefits.


    In fact, after Qin Hao defeated the foreigners and returned to the court, Zhao Kuangyin would not have to pay any price and would still be able to get the imperial enthronement. After all, Qin Hao would not be able to turn away a prince who voluntarily surrendered.


    But God knows when Qin Hao will move?


    Half a year? Or one year?


    Qin Hao can afford to wait, but Zhao Kuangyin can''t.


    If Qin Hao really comes back, the battle between the Song army and the Yuzhou army may end.


    Zhao Kuangyin wanted to gain recognition from the court in order to seize the initiative in the battle with the Yuzhou army and defeat and replace Yuan Shu at the lowest cost, so even if he was blackmailed by the Qin army, he could only recognize him.


    "Mr. Jia, the wise man will not say secret words. My lord is willing to ced Ruyin County to the Qin army, just to ask Duke Qin to handle this matter as soon as possible." Zhao Pu bowed and said in a deep voice.


    A strange look flashed in Jia Xu''s eyes, and he thought to himself: Zhao Kuangyin is so anxious. It seems that the situation facing the Song army is worse than he thought. It seems that he can slaughter a fat sheep.


    "Mr. Zhao, it''s not that I don''t want to help, but that I''m in real trouble. It won''t be any impact on Mr. Song waiting for a few more months..."


    After Jia Xu said this, Zhao Pu was speechless. In short, it meant ''adding money'', so he said, "Ruyin County, plus a Shen County, there can be no more."


    "Oh, aren''t you making things difficult for me..." "Stop, plus Xiyang County, forget it if you can''t."


    "make a deal."


    In the end, under Jia Xu''s argument, Zhao Pu agreed to ced the southeast Jiangbei region of Runan, and the three counties of Ruyin Shen County and Xiyang County bordering Zhangling County to the Qin army.


    In this way, the Qin army not only took back Xuanyuan Pass without spending one soldier, but also obtained nearly 100,000 people in the three counties. The price paid was nothing more than an edict, and the troops stationed in Xuanyuan Pass were used to deter him, indirectly helping the Song army restrain some of the Yuzhou army''s forces.


    After Zhao Pu left, the Qin generals cheered and said that it would be best for them to solve the enemy without fighting. After all, the Qin army was not suitable for starting a war on multiple lines at this time, because if one line collapsed, the whole line would jump.


    As the greatest hero, Jia Xu did not show any joy. Qin Qiong couldn''t help but ask, "Military advisor, why do you seem unhappy?"


    "I feel like I''m losing money. If I''m fighting for it, I might be able to go back to two counties." Jia Xu said with a bitter face.


    Qin Qiong couldn''t help but twitch when he heard this. Is this a big profit? Zhao Kuangyin only had more than 30 counties in his hands. It would be great if he could give up three counties. How could he give up five counties?


    All the generals thought that the Qin army had taken advantage of it, but Jia Xu knew that it was Zhao Kuangyin who really took advantage of it. After all, although the Qin army took advantage of this matter on the surface, Zhao Kuangyin must have gotten more. Otherwise, why would he give up his territory and population to the Qin army?


    "After Xuanyuan Pass is taken back, the role of Guangcheng and Yique Passes will be greatly reduced. In the future, just need to strictly defend Xuanyuan Pass, which is enough to ensure the safety of the southeast of Sizhou, and our army can also save a lot of troops."


    At this point, Jia Xu looked at Qin Qiong and whispered: "Xuanyuan Pass is crucial. Before the lord returns to the court, I hope General Qin Qiong can go to guard the city in person."


    "No." Qin Qiong clasped his fists and said in a deep voice.


    Seeing this, Jia Xu nodded and then transferred 15,000 troops from Yique Pass, and ordered Qin Qiong as the main general, Yuchi Gong and Xiong Kuohai as the deputy generals, and went to take over and guard Xuanyuan Pass.


    After Qin Qiong led his troops to leave, although the troops at Yique Pass were about to reach 5,000, it had no effect on its defense, because as long as Xuanyuan Pass was not lost, no enemy could reach Yique Pass.


    "The command of Zhangling Prefect Xin Qiji sent troops to accept the three counties ceded by the Song army, but these three counties will not be assigned to Zhangling County for the time being. Everything will be decided after the lord comes back."


    Qin Hao gave Jia Xu a great power, but Jia Xu did not dare to abuse his power. Things like dividing counties and counties were beyond the scope of control of ministers, so Jia Xu naturally did not dare to make arrangements at will.


    "The order Zhang Liao and Gao Shun will lead their troops back to their garrison. By the way, I''m sending the order to Yue Fei. Now that the war against Yuzhou has ended, he can go back and continue to attack Nanjun."
