Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Negotiations continue.

Xianbei forced Dali to cede five states and return Tuobal Company before he was willing to withdraw his troops and cease the war.

On the Dali side, the Xianbei army was required to withdraw from Dali unconditionally and sign a ten-year peace treaty. During the ten years, Tuobal Company must be held as hostage in Chang'an.

Both sides reiterated their demands and refused to give in.

Lu Desheng threw away the book and looked at the Xianbei negotiating team opposite, with a bad tone, "Can you say it again? You really don't want to have a good discussion, do you?"

Tuoba, who had just been bandaged roughly, shouted loudly, "Uncle Wang, please talk carefully and show sincerity!"

Tuoba Yu:......

They felt the threat from Lu Desheng.

So, the Xianbei Royal Court dilly-dallyed and finally decided to give in, "Then let's cede four states. We give up Liangzhou and want Beibei, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Pingzhou."

Conceding from five states to four states at once, the Xianbei negotiating team felt that they were full of sincerity.

Lu Desheng looked at Prince Gong, Lin Ran, Zuo Anmin and others, "Where is our side?"

Prince Gong didn't speak.

Lin Ran was obviously here to make up the numbers and was indifferent to the progress of the negotiations.

Zuo Anmin was obviously watching the show.

Lu Desheng knocked on the table. These people really had no consciousness at all. "If everyone doesn't give in, the negotiation will be impossible."

Damn, it's like two stubborn cows. If you press one, you have to press the other. It's tiring.

Prince Gong pondered for a moment and said, "This negotiation is entirely left to you."

This means letting him make his own decisions.

Lu Desheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He looked at Prince Gong, who looked away.

"Four states are too many." Lu Desheng went to tell the Xianbei negotiating team.

"Don't rush to refute. I admit that your Xianbei army is very brave and good at fighting. However, you have only occupied three counties in these four states. Now that you ask Dali to cede more than a dozen places in advance, you may not win them. Chengjun, isn’t it too much?”

Lu Desheng controlled the whole game.

The Xianbei negotiating team whispered again and said, "Three states, our bottom line is three states, if it's less than three states, we won't have to negotiate!"

Tuo Bayu emphasized.

Lu Desheng was very calm and just thought they were farting.

"You Xianbei won't give in at all. Dare I ask, what is the value of Tuobalian?"

This time it was Tuoba's tour, "His value is to create an opportunity for you, Dali, to negotiate."

Lu Desheng smiled and asked, "Are you sure that's the case? I think this opportunity is given to both parties."

"Of course we in Dali don't want to fight. You Xianbei nobles like to fight, but what about the nomadic herdsmen down there? Where are their parents, wives and children? Do you also like to fight? Are you willing to fight? You know, fighting will kill people. Die. , but there’s nothing left.”

"Now, if you lower your requirements and get benefits for nothing, it may not be worse than if you die and get a little more benefits than you do now."

Lu Desheng's words made the Xianbei negotiating team whisper to each other again.

Looking at Lu Desheng trying hard to negotiate, Prince Gong lowered his eyes. Alas, he didn't know anything.

"What Lu Desheng said makes sense."

After the Xianbei negotiating team whispered to each other for a while, Tuoba Yu spoke again, "Two states can't even lose an inch of land!"

Seeing that Lu Desheng was about to speak, Tuo Bayu quickly said, "If you don't agree, we will have to take it upon ourselves."

Tuo Bayu threatened, "If you take it for yourself, you will only take more."

"Now, cede two states to us, and we will withdraw from Jinyang, Yanmen and Daijun depending on the situation."

In fact, Xianbei's request, viewed from another perspective, is that they occupied three counties, which is one less state. Now it is equivalent to withdrawing troops if they want one more state.

Their request was to replace the city they captured and give a state as compensation for withdrawing their troops. If Dali agreed, they could sign a ten-year treaty not to invade the south.

As for what Dali asked for, Tuobalian needs to be held as hostage in Chang'an during these ten years.

The Xianbei negotiating team tried to negotiate, but gave up after finding that Dali did not agree.

The Xianbei Royal Court does not care where Tuobalian goes, as long as he lives, it doesn't matter whether he goes to Chang'an as a hostage or is returned to Xianbei.

Lu Desheng knew that this was Xianbei's bottom line and there was no way he could give in anymore.This was also estimated during their previous simulation analysis.

It's a pity, but he tried his best.

It is unknown how many years the ten-year agreement will last. Perhaps after Xianbei has digested these two states, it will invade the south again.

But from another perspective, the signing of this treaty has also bought Dali a few years of development time, which is already very good.

As far as Dali is concerned, through this negotiation, Lu Desheng ceded the five states required by Xianbei. When it came to only ceding two states, no one can say that Lu Desheng did not try his best this time.

If he doesn't want to start a war, this is already the minimum price Dali has to pay.

Prince Gong and others also knew that Lu Desheng's conditions were very impressive.

At this time Tuoba Yu said, "If you don't have any objection to this condition, let's talk about the states that you, Dali, need to cede." Xianbei people are quick to do things and don't like procrastination.

Prince Gong asked tentatively, "Which two states do you want from Xianbei?"

"We want Pingzhou and Youzhou!" Tuoba Yu said firmly.

They are willing to negotiate, and the purpose is to take Pingzhou into their hands.

When Deng Fangyi, the governor of Youzhou who was sitting next to him, heard this, his eyes darkened.

The governor of Bingzhou was overjoyed. His two counties were back, and Xianbei did not want to merge with the state. Can he continue to be his governor of Bingzhou?

Xianbei mentioned that all the top officials from the five ceded states came, but the chief officials of the Northern Territory and Liangzhou did not attend the negotiation because they were too far apart.

"Impossible!" Lu Desheng was the first to object.Damn it, he worked so hard to preside over the negotiations, and in the end, he wanted to cede his Pingzhou?

Tuoba Xun slapped the table directly at this time, "This won't work, that won't work either. Do you, Dali, want to continue the war?"

Prince Gong pressed down on Lu Desheng and said, "Prince Tuoba, we, Dali, have no objection to the outcome of this negotiation."

Lu Desheng: "I don't agree to this condition."

Tuoba Yu looked at Prince Gong, "What do you Dali say?"

Pingzhou held the hostage in his hand, and his words still had weight.Moreover, Lu Desheng had been in charge of the negotiations just now, so Tuo Bayu did not dare to take Lu Desheng's words seriously.

"Lu Desheng, don't make trouble. The negotiation you presided over has failed. It's fine if the court doesn't hold you accountable. Moreover, Pingzhou belongs to Dali, and the court has the right to deal with it."

Lu Desheng sneered. He changed Xianbei's request from ceding five states to ceding two states. Is this called failure?

As for Dali's request, no one can succeed in negotiating with it!

What does Dali have?The Xianbei Five-Road Army invaded Dali from the south, and Jinyang, Yanmen, Youbeiping County, and Dai County were lost one after another. The only one who managed to hold on was Daping Prefecture.

In such a situation, what qualifications does Dali have to refuse to give in?Just one Tuobalian?Tuoba Khan is not short of sons.

"Anyway, I don't agree!"
