Chapter 565
Jin Wucheng once again served as Park Yin's envoy, and traveled to the Dragon's Throat Canyon to find Shang Ji for peace talks. But this time it was not Shang Ji who received him, but Xi Zhicai.
The peace talks also have to pay attention to one's status. If Pu Yin came in person, it would be reasonable for Shang Ji to go out in person, but now only Pu Yin's envoys are here, so there is no need to work for Shang Ji.
"My lord, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! The minister of Fanbang originally intended to help the Celestial Dynasty to encircle and suppress the rebellion, but he didn't expect that because of poor communication, they unexpectedly met each other. This is really flooding the Dragon King Temple!"
With a friendly smile on his face, Jin Wucheng said naively. Xi Zhicai just sneered, completely ignoring Jin Wucheng's nonsense.
"My lord, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, and the soldiers from the Celestial Dynasty have also arrived at Zubencheng, our army will return the city to your army. As for the puppet king of Goguryeo, Gao Yanyou, also hand it over to your army. Please let your army let go of the siege. My army is returning!"
"Huh, don't talk sweet words. You conspired to occupy the land of the Celestial Dynasty and confronted the army of the Celestial Dynasty by force. This is an unforgivable crime. How can you, a smooth-talking person, be able to wash away these numerous crimes? Quickly let the defenders of the city open the city and surrender. , let you Xuyang Jun personally come to apologize, our general can spare your life generously, otherwise tens of thousands of troops will crush North Korea and kill you without leaving a single piece!"
Xi Zhicai said with a murderous look on his face.
Jin Wucheng's face immediately changed when he heard the words, and he said angrily: "Don't bully people too much! Comrade Park Yin is something you can humiliate? You have tens of millions of troops, don't I have one in North Korea?!"
"Hmph, let's see the real chapter on the battlefield!" Xi Zhicai snorted coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving Jin Wucheng stunned on the spot.
Jin Wucheng never expected that Xi Zhicai would leave the negotiating table hastily. Isn't this the basic routine of negotiation? Have you ever seen such a negotiator who leaves the meeting without a word?
The first peace-to-North Korea negotiation lasted less than five minutes before it broke down completely.
Jin Wucheng passed the news to Pu Yin, and Pu Yin was also furious. Now that he is in his prime, he is proud and arrogant, so he can't bear it anymore. No matter what, he can't go to apologize to Shang Ji himself.
Now that the negotiations have broken down, let's keep fighting!
Three days later, Jin Wucheng came to Longmao Canyon again in despair, demanding to start negotiations again, but this time his confidence was obviously not so strong.
In the past three days, the flames of war in Dragon's Throat Canyon have never stopped. The North Korean army once again paid 200,000 tragic casualties, but the Dragon Throat Canyon remained motionless.
Fortunately, Park Yin mobilized another 300,000 reinforcements at the critical moment, otherwise the ratio of troops in Dragon Throat Canyon would drop to one to one!
During this period, the Pingzhou Navy's looting intensified, and the coast of North Korea was turbulent, which seriously disrupted the normal development, and even the front-line combat readiness was affected to a certain extent.
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through the Dragon Throat Canyon, Pu Yin could only start negotiations again.
This time, the Jinwu achievements are much more straightforward, directly revealing the conditions of the DPRK: "Hand over the city of Zu, Gao Yanyou, hand over the rest of the property that Gao Yanyou brought with him, and at the same time recognize the suzerainty of the great Han over Goguryeo. In exchange for Shang Ji to open the Dragon Throat Canyon and let the North Korean soldiers return home, Pingzhou will immediately stop harassing the North Korean coastline, and the aliens from the Huaxia District who invaded Pingzhou will immediately evacuate from the Korean District!"
And Xi Zhicai also simply came up with the truce conditions of the Pingzhou Army:
"First: The North Korean defenders in Zuben City surrendered and surrendered, and these North Korean troops will return to North Korea as prisoners of war.
Second: Gao Yanyou and all the former Goguryeo officials and clans who followed Gao Yanyou were all returned, and they were escorted to Pingzhou Ming Zhengdian for punishment.
Third: Goguryeo is a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and the Goguryeo land to the east of Longhou Gorge is also inherited by the Pingzhou Army. In addition, in order to avoid the recurrence of this kind of military conflict, the part of the west of North Korea adjacent to the Dragon Throat Canyon was designated as a demilitarized zone, and neither side was allowed to send troops to garrison it.
Fourth: The Pingzhou Army navy has obtained the right to navigate freely in North Korean waters.
Fifth: The aliens who entered the Korean area are not under the command of Pingzhou.
Pingzhou has no right to manage them and can only issue action suggestions to them. However, as a shepherd of Pingzhou, Shang Ji is obliged to ensure the safety of the people of Pingzhou. Whether he is in Pingzhou or not, please do not act impulsively and irrationally. They will be escorted back to Pingzhou for trial!
Sixth, issue a statement in the name of North Korea, admit mistakes, and promise that such things will not happen again!
Seventh: Because the North Korean army initiated the conflict, the Pingzhou army was forced to fight, and the military expenditure was huge. North Korea wants to compensate the Pingzhou army for military expenses of one billion gold! "
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! We desire peace, but the great Korean Nationalist People's Republic is never afraid of war. We will never agree to this condition!"
Jin Wucheng's eyes were red, staring at Xi Zhicai with fire-breathing eyes. If eyes could kill, Xi Zhicai would have been hacked to pieces long ago!
Although the negotiations did come and go, and it was common to ask for a price and pay back the money, but the conditions of the Pingzhou Army were too harsh, and there was nothing they could agree to except the return of Gao Yanyou and his subordinates.
Millions of North Korean troops abandoned their weapons and surrendered. From Pu Yin's point of view, he would rather destroy the entire army of one million troops than allow them to surrender. Even Pu Yin dared not give such an order lightly, the blow to prestige was too great!
The Pingzhou Army inherited all of Goguryeo's territory, including the part east of Longhou Gorge, which can still be considered. However, the establishment of a demilitarized zone on the land of the former North Korean country is completely unbearable. North Korea is only at a disadvantage, and it has not yet reached the point of subjugation and genocide. This kind of humiliation is absolutely unbearable!
North Korea is powerless against the Pyongju Navy, and there is no doubt that the Pingzhou Navy can come and go whenever it wants in North Korean waters. But this right of freedom of navigation must never appear in a paper treaty.
Article 5 is even more exaggerated. It is simply telling you arrogantly that I can kill your people, but you must not touch me. The consular jurisdiction in the colonial period was not so shameless!
Making a public statement to the world is also out of the question. If he lost to Yanhuang, he would grit his teeth and admit it. Losing to a civil force in Huaxia District, what kind of shit is this!
It is even more impossible to pay one billion yuan in compensation. With the population and economic level of North Korea, it is hard to say whether there is one billion yuan in taxes a year. After all, the area is only so small, which is equivalent to a larger county in the Han Dynasty. Billion gold is the devil!
Xi Zhicai watched Jin Wucheng growl coldly, unmoved.
Seeing that Xi Zhicai was indifferent, Jin Wucheng immediately put on a pleading expression: "Mr. Xi Zhicai, we are negotiating for the purpose of peace and with 120,000 percent sincerity. Sir, please come up with some practical ideas. conditions of!"
"You guys invaded me brazenly back then, did you ever think that this would happen?" Xi Zhicai chuckled disdainfully and asked in a cold voice.
Jin Wucheng looked bitter, can he tell Xi Zhicai that he opposed sending troops at the beginning? At this time, it is meaningless to say these things, so I can only lower my eyebrows and implore: "People are not sages and sages. We have already known our mistakes, and please give us a chance to reform ourselves!"
"It's your fault!" Xi Zhicai snorted coldly, but sat down anyway.
As early as when Jin Wucheng first came to request peace talks, Pingzhou carried out detailed deduction. Although it seems that the North Korean side is in a very embarrassing situation, the Pingzhou Army does not have the ability to destroy North Korea.
It is of course no problem to attack the South Korean side left and right, teach the North Korean army to reduce the pressure on the South Korean side, but if it directly destroys North Korea, the South Korean side may not agree.
South Korea will not understand the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
And relying on Pingzhou's own strength, more than 4 million troops rushed out, even if all the townspeople were mobilized, it would be impossible to occupy North Korea!
The tens of millions of troops on the North Korean side are no joke. Moreover, it is impossible for Shang Ji to completely ignore the old nest and pull all the troops to the Korean battlefield.
Shang Ji also thought of Yanhuang. If Yanhuang could join in, it would not be a big problem for the two parties to jointly occupy North Korea. However, after careful consideration, Yanhuang still rejected Shang Ji's proposal. Now Yanhuang's most important task is to ensure the victory of the first national war, and it is impossible to make extra troubles for North Korea.
After consulting Deng Yan, Xun Yu, Liu Yi, Zhao Yun and other major civil and military officials, Shang Ji has decided to stop this sudden war.
but! The stop is a truce, and now the Pingzhou Army has the upper hand. If you don't take this opportunity to take a bite, how can you be worthy of the sacrificed soldiers?
Among other things, for this war, Shang Ji invested more than 100 million gold in military expenditures (including the part of the Goguryeo battlefield in the early stage), and he counted on Park Yin to help pay for this money!
As for the previous harsh conditions, it was purely disgusting to Pu Yin, and Shang Ji also knew that it was impossible for Pu Yin to agree to most of the conditions.
Seeing that Xi Zhicai sat back at the negotiating table again, Kim Wu-sung also heaved a sigh of relief. Park Yin reported high expectations for this negotiation. If he screwed up again, Kim Wu-sung would not be able to explain it.
"Let's talk about the first one first, how to deal with the imperial army in this city!"
"Mr. Xi, it is absolutely impossible for the North Korean army to surrender to your army in large numbers. Even if we issue such an order, the commander-in-chief will not carry it out. Once it is urgent, the city will be burned down, and then a million troops will desperately break through. The lives of both sides are ruined!"
Jin Wucheng said hastily, but it revealed an attempt to kill the fish and break the net. And the Pingzhou Army really had no way to deal with this situation.
Although Zuben City is a huge city of parallel imports, its specific value is still immeasurable. When it was urgent, the North Korean army really set it on fire, and then launched a suicide attack on the surrounding defenders. With the North Korean army's usual style of doing things, the probability of doing so is really very high!
The 200,000 aliens died the most and their strength dropped drastically. Although Pu Yin, the remaining aboriginal army, would be distressed for a while, he would never be reluctant.
By mistake, the defenders of Zubencheng became the only bargaining chip in the DPRK that could threaten the Pingzhou Army!
