Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 722 Heartache

The Jin Dynasty did not recognize the Han Kingdom. Even if they were suppressed and beaten by Liu Yuan, they would still call him a traitor and traitor in the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Yuan missed Jin very much. Only when the Jin Dynasty died could he become the legitimate emperor in the world.

He has been committed to conquering Luoyang, capturing or killing the Jin Emperor, and destroying the Jin Kingdom.

Now that Jin has moved its capital, in addition to Luoyang, his target has added Yuncheng. Anyway, he can attack wherever the emperor is.

Such a person, even if his favorite youngest son is in the hands of Zhao Hanzhang, even if he is heartbroken, he still does not want to show his timidity in front of the ministers.

Therefore, he first threatened Zeng Yue, "Liu Yi is the seventh prince of our Han Dynasty. Zhao Hanzhang dares to kidnap him, but is he insulting the Han Dynasty?"

His Highness, one of the ministers immediately stepped forward and glared at Zeng Yue, "You humiliate me and die, I will kill you now to avenge my superior!"

Zeng Yue's expression did not change, and he said to Liu Yuan: "Grand Governor, the King of Beihai was not kidnapped by our troops, but he himself came to our Zhao family camp as a guest. My governor's handwritten letter is here, why didn't the Grand Governor read it first before talking?"

The guard on the side took the letter and handed it to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan unfolded it and looked at it, and was speechless for a long time.

He had already guessed that Zhao Hanzhang was stationed eighty miles away. Even if his scouts and vanguards were active outside the city, they would not be able to capture his son quietly. The boy must have run away by himself.

Peace talks...

Liu Yuan gritted his teeth secretly, but he couldn't get angry. There were people from various tribes and the prince below.

Although he had never thought about changing the prince, because Queen Shan and Liu Yi were favored, and Liu Yi was the youngest son, the people in the prince's line were very wary.

If they knew that Liu Yi was not captured, but ran to the enemy camp on his own, I am afraid that he would really not be able to come back and would have to be a wandering little prince outside.

Liu Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and said expressionlessly: "Come, please go down and rest."

He had to discuss it with the courtiers.

Zeng Yue refused and said: "Zeng just came to deliver a message to reassure the governor that the King of Beihai is living well with us and has no right to negotiate peace. If the governor wants to negotiate peace with our governor, please send another envoy." Sir, our Zhao family army is waiting for you."

Then he said goodbye and left.

Liu Yuan could only ask people to send them away.

It was impossible for him to detain Zeng Yue.

Zeng Yue was just a messenger, and Zhao Hanzhang was holding his son.

As soon as Zeng Yue left, everyone immediately gathered around Liu Yuan and asked hurriedly: "What are you talking about? Does Zhao Hanzhang want to negotiate a peace with us?"

"Then we have to let her give back the city she took away."

"Hmph, are you willing to let go of the meat that has reached your mouth? Unless you disregard the safety of King Beihai and immediately send out troops to attack as soon as the army comes back, how else can she get the occupied city back?"

Liu Huanhua was more pragmatic and did not participate in their quarrel. He directly asked Liu Yuan, "What are the conditions for Zhao Hanzhang's peace negotiation?"

Now that Liu Yi is in her hands, she is not at a disadvantage. There are people in the East and West supporting her, and she is not afraid of them fighting. There must be conditions for making peace at this time.

Liu Yuan handed the letter to him, pursed his lips and said, "She asked us not to send troops to Jinyang for ten years."

Liu Huanxi said directly: "This is impossible!"

Liu Yuan didn't want to agree. He planned to destroy Jin in three years and unify the world in five years.

He was going to destroy Luoyang and Yuncheng, but could he let go of Jinyang, which was entrenched in their Han Kingdom?

Shan Jin on the side pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you pretend to agree to them first, and we can talk about the rest after bringing the seventh prince back."

The Di people in the palace quickly followed, "Yes, bring the seventh prince back first. If we don't listen to them later, what can they do to us?"

Hu Yanyi, the imperial censor, heard this and said angrily: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and you have nothing to say. If you agree to Zhao Hanzhang and sign the treaty, you can only abide by it. Otherwise, if you tear up the treaty at will, what credibility will Han have in the future?"

He turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the Sima family has learned from their mistakes. You must not make this mistake."

Liu Yuan's face changed, and he finally said: "I know, but Xiaoqi is my beloved son, and I feel uncomfortable too."

"Your Majesty, please give the order. I am willing to lead the troops to attack Zhao Hanzhang and snatch the seventh prince back."

"No, no," Shan Jin said quickly: "What if Zhao Hanzhang is angered and she kills the seventh prince?"

"Then I will snatch back the seventh prince's body!"

Liu Yuan:......

Hu Yanyi believed that this plan was feasible. Even if their Xiongnu prince died, he would still have to bring his body back.

He said: "The Seventh Prince will feel honored to die for the Han Kingdom."

But Liu Yuan was reluctant to let go. He was in a dilemma, and finally looked at Liu He, "Prince, what do you think?"

The prince had been staring at his toes in a daze. After hearing this, he raised his head blankly and saw everyone looking at him. He wanted to say that he didn't care about the life and death of the seventh child, but under his father's gaze, he still said anxiously: "Of course I want to save my seventh brother."

Liu Yuan: "How to save?"

"This..." The prince couldn't help but look at Hu Yanyi and Liu Huanhua.

Liu Yuan looked a little ugly and waved his hand to ask the prince and others to leave, leaving only Liu Huanxi and several important ministers to discuss.

The prince retreated uneasily.

Liu Huanhua was Liu Yuan's confidant. He understood Liu Yuan's ambitions best and immediately asked, "What do you plan to do, Your Majesty?"

"The wording in Zhao Hanzhang's letter is not harsh. There may be room for discussion. First, send envoys to contact one or two people. If we can use gold and silver, we can redeem them with gold and silver. If she insists on making us promise not to attack Jinyang ..." Liu Yuan gritted his teeth and said with a painful look on his face: "Then, I can only pretend that I don't have this son."

Seeing this, Liu Huanhua, Hu Yanyi and other ministers sighed, comforted Liu Yuan for a while and then bowed and left.

As long as the emperor has a clear mind, he cannot give in at this time, otherwise Zhao Hanzhang will push forward and cause endless troubles.

After leaving the main hall, Liu Huanhua put down the expression on his face and asked Hu Yanyi, "Where is the fourth prince?"

"Should be arriving soon."

"The troops are still tired when they come back. It is not appropriate to take action at this time. Let Zhao Hanzhang be rampant for a few more days."

Hu Yanyi asked: "Who can be an envoy?"

It's impossible for Shan Jin, because the Shan family is the mother clan of the seventh prince; it's also impossible for Hu Yanyi, because he belongs to the prince.

After much calculation, Liu Yuan was convinced that Liu Huanhua was the only one who had the weight to negotiate peace.

Hu Yanyi reminded him: "Your Majesty is determined to conquer the world. Now that Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi are at odds, it is time for us to take a step further. The Tutor does not want the love between children."

Liu Huanhua said expressionlessly: "Don't worry."

The young prince Liu Yi didn't know that Zhao Hanzhang used him as a bargaining chip to negotiate peace with his father. He was very interested in watching Zhao Hanzhang practice his gun early in the morning.

Zhao Hanzhang's marksmanship was fast and fierce, and Zhao Hanzhang's body was flexible and powerful. Liu Yi couldn't help but said: "Chief Zhao's marksmanship is really good, better than my fourth brother."

Zhao Hanzhang put away his gun and said with a smile: "Your fourth brother is good at using sabers, so naturally he can't beat me in a spear competition. If it's a saber competition, I can't beat him either."

Liu Yi asked curiously, "I heard that Governor Zhao defeated my fourth brother three times and almost took his life twice. Is it true?"

"Who said that?" Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "On the battlefield, if you can't succeed, you can't succeed. The result is the same as a little miss or a lot miss."

"Many people have talked about this. My fourth brother is determined to kill you with his own hands to avenge you."

Zhao Hanzhang laughed when he heard this and said: "We can only see you on the battlefield in the future. I have made peace with you this time. Liu Cong has no chance to seek revenge from me."

Liu Yi nodded.
