    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 771

    After hearing the words of the imperial envoy Su Chong, the Southern King Luo Mingyuan also had to admire the new emperor's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

    If the plan is really successful, the Qinghe army will be killed and wounded on the battlefield against the rebels without him doing anything.

    Once the Qinghe army is transferred to the north at that time, the Jiangnan province will return to his control. Thinking about it, he thinks this plan is very good.

    ? After all, compared to the life-and-death struggle on the battlefield, killing with a knife is the real clever method.

    "In order to facilitate the imperial court's recruitment of the bandit army, His Majesty means that the southern army should stop attacking the bandit army as soon as possible and show a friendly attitude."

    Su Chong, the imperial envoy, didn't know that the southern army had suffered another crushing defeat on the battlefield, so he conveyed the secret order of the new emperor, which was to ask the southern army to stop attacking the Qinghe army.

    "Please rest assured, Your Majesty and the Imperial Envoy, I must put the overall situation first."

    Luo Mingyuan had just been beaten up by the Qinghe army, and his son had become a prisoner. Naturally, he was unwilling to continue fighting with the Qinghe army.

    Besides, their southern army is now losing troops and generals, and they don't have the ability to continue to fight the Qinghe army. It would be good if the Qinghe army didn't fight them.

    It's just that he naturally wouldn't say such embarrassing things. Instead, he took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and instead became a person who took care of the overall situation.

    "His Royal Highness Nanwang understands righteousness deeply, and I admire him so much. I will definitely report to His Majesty after I go back."

    Su Chong didn't expect that Luo Mingyuan could put the overall situation first and didn't care about temporary gains and losses, so he admired him very much.

    Of course, if he knew that the Southern Army had just suffered a defeat at the hands of the Qinghe Army, he would not have said so.

    "At that time, I would like to ask the imperial envoy to give you a lot of good words."

    "It's easy to say, easy to say."

    Luo Mingyuan didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so he quickly changed the subject.

    "How is the battle in the north now?"

    Luo Mingyuan has now become the King of the South and is tied to the boat of the New Emperor. Naturally, his eyes will no longer be fixed on the three-acre land in the south. Unknowingly, his eyes are farther away.

    "The rebel army is strong, and our Zhenxi Army and the Imperial Guard Army can only draw with them if they join forces."

    Speaking of the wars that took place in several provinces in the central part, the imperial envoy Su Chong was also worried.

    If it wasn't for the anxious battle with the Fourth Prince's rebel army, they would not have recruited the troops of the Qinghe Army.

    "However, don't worry, His Royal Highness Nan, now that His Majesty has secretly sent envoys to the north, when the time comes, the wolf riders from the north will join the battle, and they will go straight to the lair of the rebels."

    Seeing that Southern King Luo Mingyuan was frightened, Su Chong also looked around, then lowered his voice and told some secrets of the court.

    "It's all wolf ambitions in the north. If your majesty does this, I'm afraid it will attract wolves into the house."

    Luo Mingyuan naturally knew about those ambitious people on the grassland in the north, and he was a little worried when he saw that the new emperor Longjun joined forces with them.

    "As long as the provinces are pacified, then with the strength of our dynasty, those people in the north will not be able to make any big waves." Su Chong is much more optimistic.

    Although Southern King Luo Mingyuan was a little worried, he also knew now that the most important thing for the new Emperor Longjun now is to secure the throne.

    Although secretly contacting the wolf riders on the grassland to deal with the fourth prince is a bit like two brothers fighting for family property, and one side asks outsiders for help, but as long as they can win, they don't care so much.

    "There was a severe drought in the north last year, and many prefectures and counties had no crops. Therefore, several provinces in the north are short of food. I came to Dongjiang province this time, and I also shoulder the responsibility of supervising food. I also ask His Royal Highness Nanwang to cooperate."

    Because of the fertile land and large population, several provinces of the Southern Army have always been the inherent grain-producing areas of the Far Eastern Dynasty.

    It has become a common practice for a large amount of grain to be transported to the capital and several provinces in the north every year.

    "How much food do you need this time?" Luo Mingyuan asked.

    "Ten million stones." Su Chong looked at Luo Mingyuan and said.

    "so much?"

    "There are hungry people all over the place, and there is a war, there is no way."

    If the southern army occupied Jiangnan Province, Dongjiang Province and Yunshan Province, it would not be a big deal to take out 10 million shi of grain.

    But now the Jiangnan Province is occupied by the Qinghe Army, and the Yunshan Province is also battered.

    Now only the Yunshan Province can collect food.??, and had to supply the Confederate Army.

    At this moment, Southern King Luo Mingyuan also found it difficult to transport 10 million shi of grain to the north.

    "His Royal Highness, you have to share the worries of the court."

    Seeing the Southern King Luo Mingyuan's expression of embarrassment, Su Chong opened his mouth to remind Luo Mingyuan that he is now a prince, and he and the court will be both prosperous and ruined.

    "Don't worry, my lord imperial envoy, even if our southern army cuts down on food and clothing, we will gather enough 10 million shi of grain to transport northward."

    Now that he has just been crowned King of the South, Luo Mingyuan is also full of gratitude to the new emperor, gritted his teeth, and agreed to this matter.

    Luo Mingyuan and Su Chong, the imperial envoy, talked for more than three hours in the living room.

    After the talks ended, Luo Mingyuan also immediately issued a military order to collect grain, and began to collect grain again in Dongjiang Province.

    Dongjiang Province is also a grain-producing area, so the treasury is full of grain, but Luo Mingyuan doesn't want to empty out his treasury, so he finally decided to collect grain again.

    When Luo Mingyuan ordered the requisition of grain, the officials he sent to the Qinghe army to negotiate also turned back again.

    "The thieves said that the major general eats hot and spicy food with them, and they are almost exhausted. We need to pay an additional one million gold for food expenses."

    Luo Mingyuan sent people to the Qinghe Army mainly to bargain. Who knew that not only the price was not cut down, but an additional one million gold was added.

    "The thieves are taking advantage of money!" Luo Mingyuan said angrily.

    "Go and tell the bandits, as long as my son is released, two million will be two million!"

    Although Luo Mingyuan hated the Qinghe army, but thinking of the imperial court's arrangement, he suppressed his anger.

    What he needs now is forbearance. As long as the Qinghe army surrenders to the imperial court and is transferred to the north to fight the rebels, the Qinghe army can only be destroyed.

    Luo Mingyuan also needs to exchange money for some time now. They have lost their troops and lost their generals. It is true that they have no way to fight the Qinghe army again.

    Only temporarily stabilizing the Qinghe army is not only in line with the imperial court's will, but also can buy them time to restore their strength.

    Seeing the Southern Army's slow refusal, the Qinghe Army planned to launch an offensive campaign to force the Southern Army to submit.

    But what I didn't expect was that before the Qinghe Army's troops were ready to attack, Luo Mingyuan sent someone to agree to the Qinghe Army's request, and was willing to sign an armistice agreement with the Qinghe Army.

    The Qinghe army and the southern army had no choice but to fight, because they occupied the Jiangnan province and needed further digestion.

    Since the Southern Army proposed an armistice, they naturally agreed to sign an armistice agreement with the Southern Army.

    Soon, under the influence of various factors, the Qinghe Army and the Southern Army signed an armistice agreement in Sishui Prefecture, Dongjiang Province.

    All the troops of the Southern Army withdrew from the Jiangnan Province, and compensated the Qinghe Army with a large amount of money for losses. The Qinghe Army returned all the prisoners of war and was not allowed to attack the Dongjiang Province (Remember the website URL:  www.hlnovel.com
