After both sides stopped using knives, the conflict calmed down.

Tuoba Xun said seriously, "Master Lu, let's discuss the conditions for redeeming all the prisoners of the Fuyu tribe. You also know that there is no point in just redeeming the elderly and children."

Tuoba Khan is not stupid. It is useless to redeem the old people and children of Fuyu. The young people are still in their hands.

This Tuoba Xun was worthy of being the eldest prince of Xianbei. After realizing that going crazy would not solve the problem, he quickly calmed down.

Lu Desheng asked, "You Xianbei are sure you want to negotiate such a big deal with us in Pingzhou? Then you have to prepare for this."

"You're holding Fuyu Qingzhuang, don't you just want people to work? We'll help you with the work, how about you let Fuyu Qingzhuang go?"

"Tell me, how are you going to solve this problem?"

"How about we exchange the young people of the Han Dynasty in the northern border and Liangzhou with you?"

"Liangzhou and Pingzhou in the north are far apart. Do you want to transport the young Han people here in person?" Lu Desheng asked curiously.

"This is impossible, it costs too much. We will provide road guides to the young people in the two places and let them come to Pingzhou on their own." Their family members held them back, and they did not dare to disobey.

"No!" Lu Desheng curled his lips, "You all know that to redeem the captives, the whole family needs to be in order, don't we know? You are holding these young and strong family members captive, and we are worried about using them."

"Also, although I don't like you Hu people, I have to admit that you Xianbei Hu people are a little stronger than the Han people. It's not cost-effective to exchange young Han people for Fuyu prisoners, and you can't beat and scold them at will."

Ax was worried. What Lu Desheng said meant that the Fuyu people could beat and scold them at will?

On the side, Yu Chixun saw that Lu Desheng seemed to know that there was no hope of getting money from Xianbei, and his attitude changed slightly.

Yu Chixun was a Han native and was familiar with Chinese classics. Lu Desheng's attitude told him that if the other party was willing to reveal his needs, there would be room for discussion, so he could continue the conversation.

After several rounds of difficult negotiations, Xianbei finally got Pingzhou to agree to release the Fuyu prisoners.

The condition they Xianbei needed to agree to was to open the city gates of Liangzhou and Liangzhou in the north so that the Han people could freely travel to Pingzhou.

Although Beijing and Liangzhou are two states now, because they are located on the border, the population is sparse, and the population density is of the type of vast territory and sparsely populated areas. Coupled with the fact that people have fled or died due to the wars in recent years, the combined population of the two states is currently only in the millions.

During the negotiation, Lu Desheng said that there were hundreds of thousands of Fuyu prisoners in their hands, which was a real deal. They Xianbei wanted the Han people from Liangzhou and Liangzhou in the north to come to Pingzhou voluntarily, but there was no reward. The two places were far apart. It would be good if [-] of the [-] people could go to Pingzhou.

After all, once the city gate opens and people leave, who knows where they will go?

Therefore, Xianbei only allowed hundreds of thousands of people to leave the city, which was not enough.

During the discussion, Pingzhou said that in order to ensure that the young people from the two places were willing to come, they and Xianbei got a sum of money. If the people of Liangzhou in the north really came over, each household would be rewarded with five taels of silver.

What a joke, can Xianbei agree to such conditions?

Anyway, after several rounds of bargaining, Xianbei needs to open all the city gates in Liangzhou and Liangzhou in the north. The people in the two places can leave if they want to, or if they don't want to.

No matter how much Pingzhou can accept in the end, it can't cause trouble anymore. At the same time, release all Buyeo prisoners.

At first glance, Xianbei agreed to such conditions, which was a bit of a loss, but I wonder if it was because Xianbei raided the northern border and Liangzhou too hard. The people under his jurisdiction always wanted to escape and were very passive in their work. One can almost imagine how bad the taxes will be in the coming year. It would be better to exchange these people for hundreds of thousands of hard-working Fuyu people.

Pingzhou had no choice but to agree to this condition, but there was one requirement. When they opened the city gate, Xianbei publicized that if they were willing to come to Pingzhou, their family would receive [-] yuan as settlement allowance.

The Xianbei envoys agreed on the surface, but had no intention of doing it on the inside.

After negotiating the terms, Akers wanted Pingzhou to release him.

"No, you, the Xianbei Royal Court, have no credibility and have repeatedly gone back on your word. We cannot trust you."

Xianbei: ...it hurts my heart.

"On our Xianbei side, the Khan has sent someone with a warrant to ask the generals guarding the city to release the people. Shouldn't you, Pingzhou, also say something?"

Lu Desheng said proudly, "Although our governor of Pingzhou is a woman, she always sticks to her word."

Tuoba Xun and others think about Pingzhou, it seems that they really do what they say?

"However, we, Pingzhou, have always been fair and just. Now that you have begun to fulfill your promise, we, Pingzhou, will naturally respond. Come, pick out the Fuyu children under ten years old and let them take them away. "

After throwing away a burden, Lu Desheng looked relaxed.

Ax:......

Seeing that Ax didn't say anything, Lu Desheng was confused, "You don't want it?"

"Yes, of course!"

Reaching this point can be said to be the result of Pingzhou's early layout and taking advantage of the situation.

On Lu Songli's desk was an agreement signed by both parties. They, Pingzhou, used Fuyu prisoners in exchange for the opportunity to open the city gates to the north and Liangzhou. This also gave the people of the two places a way to survive. Are they willing to seize the opportunity? It's up to their own choice.

East China Sea

At the request of Xie Zhan, the military commander, the encirclement and suppression of the Jin Dynasty progressed rapidly.

Dong Guowei, Wei Kuang and Liu Mao, one of the original generals of the Southern Army, led three armies and launched a strong attack on the King of Jin from the south, west and north respectively, forming a semi-encirclement situation and constantly encroaching on the King of Jin's territory.

Under the crazy attack of the three armies, King Jin's territory became smaller and smaller.

King Jin's Mansion

"Is the imperial court crazy for playing without any regard for gains and losses?"

Not only is the court going crazy, he is going crazy too.

He was defeated so quickly that King Jin was very anxious now.

An aide from the Jin Palace said, "Now that Dali has lost Yanmen and Daijun, he must be eager to put down the rebellion in Yunei."

Hearing this, King Jin became even more angry. The fall of Yanmen and Daijun had nothing to do with him, King Jin. It’s not like he lost it!

"I think they are just picking on the weak! Go to Xianbei if you can! Take Yanmen and Daijun back!" After King Jin vented his words, he suddenly changed his subject, "No, we can't go on like this. This king wants to defeat the Pingzhou Expeditionary Army!"

All the officials were confused, why did they come here? The prince's ideas are too jumpy.

King Jin was filled with anger and had no way to vent his anger. If there was a dog in front of him, King Jin would be eager to step forward and kick it.

"This Pingzhou soldier is just a wasted reputation. After I destroy it, I can regain Dongtai and Jiangdu, and secondly, I can release more troops to resist the imperial court's attack."

The King of Jin was only thinking about the benefits of defeating the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force.

In his opinion, it would be easy to destroy the Pingzhou expeditionary force.

After all, the expeditionary force led by Qin Zhao did nothing after occupying Dongtai County and Jiangdu in Guangling. Coupled with the reports from the generals stationed in Qutao, the King of Jin felt that the Pingzhou soldiers were just in vain.
