Chapter 2270: Part 2 in Yongzhou, stop the army and quit the battle
Chapter 2267: Partition between Yongzhou and stop the war
The news of the signing of the Treaty of Luoyang came out, and the people of Qin were in jubilation. After all, the signing of the treaty meant that the war was about to end.
From the battle of Hebei to the signing of the treaty, within this year, the Qin State fought three or four times in a large war of hundreds of thousands of people, and countless small-scale wars were imminent, which also put both the government and the people under great pressure on the war.
You should know that the policies during the war in Qin State were completely different from those during peacetime.
The state of Qin is divided into three types: one is the truce state, two is the local war state, and three is the state of total war state.
The three states correspond to different wartime policies.
In the Battle of Hebei, Qin State originally started a local war state, after all, it only used the resources of Bingzhou and Hetao.
But with the five armies of the Southern Han Dynasty attacking Qin, the Qin State, which started wars on multiple fronts, had to start a state of full-scale war.
In the state of full-scale war, all resources are given priority to provide an army, and the people must also provide voluntary corvee, and only a small amount of remuneration.
According to statistics, during the Jizhou War, the Qin State accumulated nearly one million people in Bingzhou and Hetao, and carried out volunteer labor service to transport food and grass for the front line.
As for the Youzhou War, 800,000 people were recruited to serve labor service in Jizhou and Qingbei.
As for Jingzhou and Sizhou, the number of people who were in labor service was a little smaller, but the total number reached as many as 700,000.
In the state of full-scale war, all resources in the country were tilted towards war, which caused a significant reduction in GDP during the war.
If the people continue for a long time, the people will definitely have more complaints. If the accumulated complaints will form public grievances, which is not conducive to rule. This is also one of the reasons why all the civil officials support the ceasefire.
Now that the war is over, Qin State ends its wartime state and returns to its original cultivation policy, Qin State will return to a normal social state.
This is equivalent to unraveling the shackles that bind the people, and the people naturally cheered.
In addition to the people, they felt that the happiest envoys of the hostile state of Qin were forced to give in to the forcing Qin to retreat, which proved that Qin was afraid of joining forces with all countries.
Qin State was afraid, so they insisted on uniting, but Wei, Song and Wu were still allies of Qin State, and it was not that easy to pull them all into the anti-Qin alliance.
Among Qin''s allies, Wei was too close to Qin. Before completely breaking away from Qin''s control, he did not dare to be an enemy of Qin.
As for Wu, if you want to pull it into the alliance, even if Shu and Sui are willing, Chu will not.
Therefore, the Seven-Nation Alliance is still full of difficulties and a long way to go.
Some people are happy about the signing of the treaty, and naturally many people are dissatisfied with it, such as students from the Imperial Academy.
The students are far more knowledgeable and vision than the people. They feel that with the strength of Qin, they can completely take advantage of the victory and swallow up the entire Yongzhou in one bite, and completely defeat the Tang State.
Now that we are halfway through the battle, we have only won half of Yongzhou. It would be a pity to stop the army.
Besides, even if the two countries quit their troops and truce, Qin could win more benefits as a victory.
Compared with the Treaty of Jinyang and Lulong, the terms on the Treaty of Luoyang are really cheaper than Tang.
The unequal treaty signed by Qin and Yuan Qing won a lot of benefits without fighting, and also made the appetite of Qin''s officials tricky, so it was naturally difficult to accept the relatively equal "Luoyang Treaty".
For this reason, the students of the Imperial Academy decided to jointly write a letter, asking for an additional eight agreements, but the letter was not submitted at all. Instead, they were detained by the Imperial Academy priest Xun Shuang in the middle.
In addition to the students of the Imperial Academy, there are many insights and people who are interested in the Qin Dynasty, such as Li Bai, Qiao Feng, etc., who are also dissatisfied with this treaty, but they know that Qin is in order to take the overall situation into consideration, so they do not compete with other countries in these small profits.
"This time the Tang Dynasty had a good time. If the Qin King had not ascended the throne and the envoys of various countries were in Luoyang, it would have been a situation where Yongzhou would be divided. But it was nothing. If the Qin army was sending troops down, Li Tang would not be able to protect Guanzhong."
In Tongfu Inn, Li Bai said to Li Xunhuan opposite him while drinking.
Li Xunhuan raised her glass and drank it all, and felt a little depressed.
Although he left the Li family and wandered around the world with his idol Li Bai, he was born in the Li family after all, and his blood relationship could not be eliminated. Naturally, he did not want the Tang Kingdom to be destroyed by the Qin Dynasty.
But now it seems that the Tang Kingdom, which has lost half of Guanzhong, has already surrendered and has lost its enterprising spirit, has no capital to confront Qin.
Not only Li Xunhuan, but anyone with some knowledge does not think that Qin will be satisfied with half of Yongzhou.
The Tang State is trying to get a breather, so why isn’t the Qin State the same?
After Qin State cultivates and regains its health and completely digests Hebei, what will Tang State use to resist the Qin army? Li Xunhuan sighed helplessly, "What can you do if the general trend is going to happen?"
"This friend''s opinion is quite good."
Jiang Shang appeared next to Li Baizhuo, looked at Li Bai and Li Xunhuan with a smile, and bowed, "I, Xiong Fei, can I discuss it together?"
Li Bai didn''t care at first, but he just thought he was an old man with some knowledge. But when he saw Wen Zhong beside Jiang Shang and found that he could not find the depth of the other party, he was shocked and quickly saluted and said, "Li Bai has seen two seniors, take a seat quickly, take a seat quickly."
Wen Zhong showed a look of surprise: "Are you the poet Li Bai?"
"It''s just a false reputation, not worth mentioning."
Although Li Bai was born in the Yellow Turban, his talent was famous all over the world. Even Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong, who were interested in the Han Dynasty, could not feel disgusted with him.
Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong looked at each other, but they didn''t expect that after entering Luoyang, they found an inn and the person who casually talked to them would be a famous poet.
Is this world too small? Or are they too lucky?
In fact, it is not just Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong. This phenomenon of encountering famous scholars by chance is common in Luoyang now.
The King of Qin was about to be elected emperor. Not only were envoys from all countries gathered together, but famous scholars from all over the world also gathered in Luoyang. It was naturally nothing.
"Since Li Bai has invited me, I will refuse..."
Before he finished speaking, the screams rang beside Jiang Shang''s ears.
"Li Bai, you are the poetic immortal Li Bai. Lao Bai, come and see, the poetic immortal is here in our store."
"What is the Poetry Immortal? I''m still a thief... What Poetry Immortal?"
"Really fake? Damn, it''s really real. Come and see, the poet is here."
"Mr. Taibai, I am your poetry fan. Since "Willing to Wine" and "The Road to Shu is Difficult", you have not released a new work in three months. I wonder what will be used for your next work?"
“Mr. Taibai…”
After a while, a large number of people flocked to Li Bai''s private room. Because there were too many people, Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong were squeezed out.
Looking at the people who were still rushing in, Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong were stunned. What''s wrong with young people nowadays?
Or are they already stubborn?
. . . . . . . . . . .
Chang''an, Qin army camp.
"Report... the lord has an order. The Treaty of Luoyang has been signed. Li Tang admitted defeat and surrendered. The two countries ceased to fight. After the settlement of the ceased land was completed, the army retreated into Lantian, Chongquan, Xinfeng and Yuli in four directions."
Mr. Lu Qing read out Ying Hao''s decree in public. As soon as he finished speaking, the scene was immediately in full swing.
"What? Chang''an is about to attack. At this time, the truce is coming?" Gao Chong said in shock.
"That''s right, if the troops are withdrawn at this time, will the soldiers who have suffered casualties in the siege be killed in vain?" Yuwen Cheng said in discomfort.
"We cannot withdraw our troops. Even if we withdraw our troops, we will have to wait until we capture Chang''an." Lu Bu said.
"Yes, I will not accept the orders of the king outside..."
…
"Enough, shut up for me."
After Li Jing shouted loudly, the scene suddenly became quiet. After Li Jing took the order from the scholar, he said, "Li Jing is very careful to obey the order of his lord."
After Lu Xiucai looked at the generals with lingering fear, he immediately said to Li Jing: "The opening ceremony is coming soon. The four governors Bai Qi, Yue Fei, Meng Tian and Zhou Yu have all returned to Luoyang. General, as one of the five generals of the Great Qin Dynasty, you should try your best to rush back to Luoyang to watch the ceremony."
Li Jing''s eyes were condensed and he clasped his fists and said, "I understand. Please report to your lord. Before the founding ceremony, Li Jing will definitely return to Luoyang."
