One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 379 Mediation
Qin Yi stayed in Yangyi County for two days.After these two days of consideration, Zhang Yan discussed with his subordinates several times, and finally agreed to accept Qin Yi's mediation and occupy with Wang Zhi.As for whether the Black Mountain Army will move to Hedong County, the matter is too involved, and Zhang Yan dare not make a rash decision.However, he has accepted Qin Yi's suggestion to go to Hedong County for inspection first.

Now that Zhang Yan had agreed to withdraw, Qin Yi and Zhang Yan came to Yuci County together.

The Black Mountain Army has been attacking Jinyang for a long time, and now, the two sides have fallen into a stalemate for more than half a month.According to Zhang Yan, Wang Zhi once sent an envoy to contact him. Wang Zhi suggested that Yangyi could be handed over to the Heishan Army for management, and Zhang Yan should retreat back to Yangyi.But Zhang Yan did not accept Wang Zhi's suggestion.

It can also be seen from this that Wang Zhi has long been devastated by this war and wants to stop fighting early.Otherwise, he would not have compromised in such a way that he wanted to take the initiative to cede Yangyi County to the Black Mountain Army.

As for why Wang Zhi didn't give up Yuci, which was already occupied by the Black Mountain Army... Hehe, Yuci is less than forty miles away from Jinyang, and it can be called the gateway of Jinyang City. How dare Wang Zhi take the Black Mountain Army? Put it at the door?Besides, Yuci is far more prosperous than Yangyi, the pain of severed fingers is tolerable, but the pain of severed arms is unbearable!
On the second day after arriving in Yuci, Qin Yi sent Pei Ji to personally lead twenty or thirty soldiers outside Jinyang City to report his identity and send Qin Yi's letter to Wang Zhi to the city wall.They were sent into the city together with a letter written by Wang Yun to Wang Zhi.

This letter from Wang Yun was written by Qin Yi when he was in Chang'an, and it came in handy today.Qin Yi had read the contents of the letter. Wang Yun only said that he had an old friend with Qin Yi. Now that Qin Yi is in Bingzhou, he hoped that Wang Zhi could show more enlightenment to Qin Yi.If Wang Zhi has difficulties, he can also ask Qin Yi for help.

This letter is concise and to the point. Although there is not much dry content, it is because of this that it is more intriguing.Qin Yi believed that Wang Zhi would not refute his face.

Of course, Qin Yi asked Pei Ji to send this letter to Wang Zhi, but Zhang Yan didn't know about it.

Pei Ji waited under the city wall for about two quarters of an hour, when the city gate suddenly opened, and an official in his thirties led nearly a hundred soldiers out of the city gate on horseback.

When Pei Ji saw this, in order not to cause misunderstanding, he let the accompanying soldiers stay where they were, and he drove his horse forward to meet the group of people who had left the city.

After the two sides met each other and stopped, the leading official immediately bowed his hands to Pei Ji and said, "This is Wang Zhi, the prefect of Taiyuan County. Dare I ask you, but is it the emissary of Qin Yi and Qin Fujun?"

Pei Ji replied: "This is Pei Ji, who is in the position of Marquis of Qin's personal guard. I am here to deliver a letter to Wangfujun by the order of the mansion."

In these few words, Pei Ji tried his best to use his accent, and he spoke clearly. Who can see that he is actually an illiterate person... Oh, this is just the former Pei Ji. I was forced to join a military literacy class for more than half a year, and I was able to recognize hundreds of characters.If it were placed in the countryside, then today's Pei Ji could be called a cultural person.

After listening to Pei Ji's words, Wang Zhi nodded and said: "Mr. Qin's intentions, Mr. Wang already knows. Please tell Marquis Pei Jun to Mr. Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang hopes that he can come to Jinyang City in person to discuss with Mr. Wang in detail."

Having said that, Wang Zhi waved his hand to the rear, and a soldier drove forward and handed a letter to Pei Ji.

Wang Zhi added: "This is a reply letter written by Wang to Lord Qin. I also ask Marquis Pei Jun to deliver it on my behalf."

Pei Ji put the letter away, and cupped his hands at Wang Zhi, "Mr. Wang's meaning, Mr. Pei must tell my lord. If Mr. Fu has nothing else to do, Mr. Pei will go back to Yuci."

Wang Zhi smiled: "Marquis Pei Jun, do what you want!"

………………

Pei Ji returned to Yuci and forwarded Wang Zhi's reply and oral message to Qin Yi.

After discussing with Zhang Yan, Qin Yi went to Jinyang to meet Wang Zhi in person the next day.After some talks with Wang Zhi, the two sides decided to hold negotiations in Qinghe Township between Yuci and Jinyang City two days later.

In fact, Qin Yi, as a middleman, had already conveyed Zhang Yan's conditions to Wang Zhi.Zhang Yan proposed three conditions. First, Wang Zhi should compensate the Montenegrin Army for the loss of military supplies in the two months since the war began. Second, if the Montenegrin Army passed through Taiyuan County for non-war reasons in the future, Wang Zhi would need to give the Montenegrin Army a pass; , the Heishan Army temporarily returned only one county in Yuci to Wang Zhi, and Yangyi County was still managed by the Heishan Army for the time being.

Wang Zhi also put forward his counter-offer conditions to Qin Yi, the same three: First, Taiyuan County will not compensate the Heishan Army for food and grass, but it will not recover the property of Yangyi County and Yuci County from the Heishan Army The second is that Taiyuan County can lend the road to the Black Mountain Army once, and it is limited to this year. If this year passes, Taiyuan County will no longer lend the road to the Black Mountain Army.When the Black Mountain Army passes through the territory of Taiyuan County, it must accept the guidance and command of Taiyuan County officials and must not invade the place; third, the Black Mountain Army must return to Yangyi and Yuci counties.

After Qin Yi returned to Yuci, he informed Zhang Yan of Wang Zhi's conditions, and after some discussion, the two made a bottom-line treaty.

Two days later, Zhang Yan and Wang Zhi each brought three hundred guards and met in Qinghe Township.As a mediator and witness, Qin Yi also came to Qinghe, and personally presided over the negotiation between Zhang Yan and Wang Zhi.

After a whole day of bargaining, Wang Zhi and Zhang Yan reached a truce.There are three items in the contract: First, the properties that the Black Mountain Army has obtained from Yangyi and Yuci belong to the Black Mountain Army.The second is that within three years, if the Black Mountain Army wants to move to Hedong County, Taiyuan County needs to lend a way to the Black Mountain Army, and Taiyuan County will guarantee the safety of the Black Mountain Army.The third is that the Black Mountain Army will continue to manage Yangyi County until October this year.

For Wang Zhi, this armistice agreement was a bit of a disadvantage.But now that the war is stalemate, it has a great impact on the entire Taiyuan County. Compared with the entire Taiyuan County, the price Wang Zhi paid is not very big.

A large part of the conclusion of this armistice agreement was based on the condition that the Montenegrin Army would move south.In other words, the main purpose of the negotiation between Zhang Yan and Wang Zhi was to facilitate the southward migration of the Black Mountain Army.It can also be seen from this that, if there are no accidents, the southward migration of the Black Mountain Army can basically be determined.

On the third day after the contract was concluded, Zhang Yan withdrew his troops and returned to Yangyi County.Before retreating, Zhang Yan became ruthless and ordered a large-scale search of Yuci County. All the things that could be taken away were taken away, even some furniture in the county government was not spared.Anyway, it has been stated in the armistice contract that all the property in Yuci County and Yangyi County will belong to the Black Mountain Army, so Zhang Yan is not welcome.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan listened to Qin Yi's advice and did not attack the people of Yuci County.In fact, the wealthy households in Yuci County had fled to Jinyang long before Zhang Yan attacked Yuci, and the people who stayed in Yuci County were all poor and poor.
