The first condition for peaceful coexistence is to satisfy each other, in order to do enough tricks, Fang Xuanling talked about this as if it were a real thing, and first talked about the materials that were in short supply on the plateau.

"The grain production of the Tubo Plateau is not abundant, and the fabrics for making warm clothes are also insufficient, but these things, I have in the Tang Dynasty, and there are so many that they cannot be used up, as long as you can guarantee that you will not send troops to the Tang Dynasty, and ensure the safety of the Tang Dynasty merchants, I can sign an agreement with you on behalf of the imperial court, and every year, I will provide you with 2 million stone of grain, 100,000 horses of linen cloth, 50,000 pieces of cotton cloth, 10,000 horses of silk, and 50,000 jars of spirits that can help you resist the cold."

With Fang Xuanling's series of data reports, even Lu Dongzan, who was in a high position in Tubo, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, the total population of Tubo is only one million, and the things Fang Xuanling said are basically that in addition to beef and mutton, all the material needs of the people of the country in a year and in other aspects, how can he not be tempted?

However, Lu Dongzan said with an expression of disdain for these things, "The things that are owned in Chang'an City are worth ten times or a hundred times what you said, we can just go and get them ourselves, so why do we need to make any promises to you." ”

Wang Lin heard Lu Dongzan's words, and it was rare to agree with Lu Dongzan once, "That's right, others don't know, I, Wang Lin, but I know too much what is in Chang'an City, take Chang'an, Tubo doesn't say a hundred years, and use it lavishly for decades, anyway, it's no problem." ”

In fact, Wang Lin had already thought in his heart before, as soon as the army arrived in Chang'an, he would take the lead, lead his own headquarters, and enter the city first, when the time comes, even if Lu Dongzan and Fang Xuanling have negotiated, he can't fight if he wants to, after all, now, he is the identity of the right minister of Tubo, and as long as he opens the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, he doesn't believe that Lu Dongzan is not moved, there are tens of millions of money.

Hearing this, Lu Dongzan nodded, and turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling with some playfulness.

In fact, from this point, Fang Xuanling has already seen Lu Dongzan's thoughts, all the war acts are to strengthen themselves, and directly taking the things of the Tang Dynasty for nothing is more able to strengthen Tubo itself than starting a war with the Tang Dynasty, after all, they have not expanded westward during this period, and the population is not large, and they can't withstand the big consumption, Lu Dongzan is not stupid, and he also has a certain amount of political wisdom, so he is waiting for Fang Xuanling to increase the price.

"What you just said is value, the value of gold is indeed very high, but it cannot be eaten, it cannot be drunk, it cannot help people withstand the cold, no matter how high the value is, what is the use of a country?

The Tang Dynasty gave Tubo enough money, and Tubo eventually had to exchange these things with us for food, clothing, spirits and other necessities of life, and Wang Gongzi, you have to recognize a fact, my Tang Dynasty's military strength is stronger than that of Tubo, if you fight hard, Tubo will just die in vain, maybe you don't know it! The million-strong army of Goguryeo Yuan Gai Suwen has been defeated by the 100,000 Tang army led by His Majesty the Emperor, and now, it is just dry bones in the grave.

If when Your Majesty returns to the army, if you Tubo do not reach an agreement with our court, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not let the Tubo people go down the plateau from now on. ”

"Uh······"

Goguryeo's million-strong army was defeated at the hands of the Tang army so quickly?

This news is not good news for them, because a fierce opponent like Li Shimin is too difficult to provoke, and it will lead to a situation of endless death, and in the future, Tubo may really have to retreat on the plateau.

However, after being stunned for a moment, Lu Dongzan was overjoyed, he felt that the more tough Fang Xuanling was, the more real the things that Datang wanted to negotiate peace, that is to say, the defense of Chang'an City was indeed empty, so it was hard to say whether it was strong or not in the end, at least, he could let Fang Xuanling increase the price code again.

"The reason for the shortage of food and clothing in Tibet is that there is less land suitable for farming, so I rely on my neighbors to supply it! If the Tang Dynasty can cede Shuzhong to our Tubo people to cultivate and weave cloth, in the eyes of this minister, this matter will be discussed. ”

"Cession of Shuzhong? How is this possible, the Han soil in Shuzhong for generations, there are more Han people living than the entire population of your Tubo, not to mention that His Majesty and the imperial court will not agree, even the people of the people, will not agree, if the prime minister does not want to promote this, go to Chang'an to attack the city! All the military and civilians in Guanzhong will live and die together with Chang'an City. ”

Fang Xuanling said this decisive sentence, but Lu Dongzan suddenly realized that something was wrong, the majority of the troops had been walking on this cement road for more than half an hour, and they didn't see a single ordinary person in Guanzhong, and the villages on both sides of the road seemed to be uninhabited, it seems that Chang'an had already received the news from Shuzhong, and all the nearby people had been moved to Chang'an City.

Now it has been five days since the imperial court received Xiao Yu's flying pigeon message, and with the development of cement road traffic in Guanzhong, even if ordinary people walk slowly, they have already walked to Chang'an, how can there be people on both sides of the road.

Now Chang'an City has gathered the people of more than 30 counties in Guanzhong, with a population of more than 5 million, and only with such a large population base, Sun Xiangfu, Du Ruhui and others can complete a super large array that can be arranged by more than 2 million people.

"The land in Shu is not good, the land west of Yumen Pass should be okay! Those lands were not originally under the rule of the Tang Kingdom. ”

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he shook his head again and said, "The passage to the west is related to the entire business of my Datang, and it is also impossible to give it up." ”

In the face of Fang Xuanling's refusal again, although Lu Dongzan had a frosty face on the surface, in his heart, he was sure that Datang would pay for peace, after all, Tubo, for Datang, is indeed a country that can only be defended and cannot be attacked.

Lu Dongzan feigned anger and said, "Hmph, you guys don't want to let you either, you don't want to let us grab it ourselves?" ”

Fang Xuanling touched his beard and said, "The old man also knows that if you don't let yourself have a place to produce, with the development of your population, there will definitely be a shortage again. ”

"The land of the various party departments is not your Datang's."

"Soon it will be."

A short conversation, but it showed Fang Xuanling's full confidence, which made Lu Dongzan feel even more that the military strength of the Tang Dynasty should be real.

So, he put forward the condition again, "It's almost the same to add a Tuyuhun." ”

Fang Xuanling hurriedly refused, "Tugu has a large number of salt ponds, and I am short of salt in Datang······"

"It seems that it is better to wait for my Tubo army to take Chang'an, and then use Chang'an to exchange with you, you will think it is more cost-effective."

Lu Dongzan planned Fang Xuanling's words, but Fang Xuanling was stunned, but this stunned god was pretended by him to Lu Dongzan, politicians in the Tang Dynasty, but they are all old drama bones!

"Well, then! However, Tuyuhun is also not under the rule of my Datang, and it will not be cashed out until we take it. ”

Lu Dongzan said again, "I will not wait indefinitely, at most two years, Datang must transfer the land of Tuyuhun and the party departments to me Tubo, and what you said before will be doubled." ”

"Two years, doubled?"

Fang Xuanling's face showed a hint of difficulty, as if he really wanted to make some very important decision, and finally nodded, "It's okay to double the supplies, but I'm afraid Chang'an doesn't have so many reserves this year, and it needs to be requisitioned across the country, so you have to allow us to pay a part of the credit and make up for it next year."

In addition, we will set up a special market on the road from Songzhou to the plateau, and the annual delivery of materials will go to that market, and you Tubo has goods such as cattle and sheepskin goods to sell, and you can also barter with my Datang wherever you can. ”

Fang Xuanling didn't intend to really fulfill all the negotiation conditions, the reason why he said it in such detail, and even made arrangements for the follow-up work, was to make Lu Dongzan think that it was true.

Sure enough, Lu Dongzan listened to Fang Xuanling's words, and his heart was overjoyed, with so many materials coming in, it only took a few years for Tubo to completely stabilize the territory of Tuyuhun and the various party departments, and when the time came, no one could easily stop it.

As for the Covenant, what is the use of a semi-barbaric clan tribe like them? Only the people of the Central Plains take it stupidly.

"How, then, shall we make a covenant?"

Hearing that Lu Dongzan finally agreed, Fang Xuanling also showed a relieved expression and said, "Such a major event, naturally, you have to go to Chang'an in person, the prime minister, and sign it with the empress in charge of the emperor's jade seal in front of all the people in Guanzhong, so as to ensure that it can be implemented in the end." ”

"To Chang'an?" Lu Dongzan looked at Fang Xuanling suspiciously again.

"Hehe, if the minister is worried about safety, you can not enter the city, and the old man can ask the queen to sign an alliance with you outside the city." Fang Xuanling understood the meaning of Lu Dongzan's expression and said with a smile.

Wang Lin, who originally wanted to speak out again to prevent Lu Dongzan from reaching an agreement with Fang Xuanling, suddenly stopped talking when he heard Fang Xuanling say that he would let Empress Eldest Sun come outside the city to sign an alliance.

Of course, with his IQ level, he didn't think of any very clever strategy, that is, to take advantage of the time when Empress Changsun was out of the city, to lead troops to kill her, and at that time, what the conditions of the covenant would be, it would be all nonsense.

Lu Dongzan nodded and said, "This method is feasible. ”

"In this way, the old man will go back to Chang'an, negotiate with the ministers to implement the details of the covenant, and after the prime minister leads the army to arrive, he can be stationed outside the city, if the old man discusses quickly, it may be possible to directly ask the queen to lead the hundred officials out of the city to greet each other and sign an alliance with you."

"Hehe, Datang is at war on all sides, the emptiness in Guanzhong is a fact, and you can't play any tricks if everything goes well, the old man will not embarrass your royal family and officials in Datang." Lu Dongzan was very satisfied with Fang Xuanling's arrangement, and said with a smile.

"In this way, the old man took his leave."

Major matters concerning the two countries were negotiated on the march of more than an hour.

If you want to say how much Lu Dongzan believes in Fang Xuanling, it may not be, he believes that the more than 200,000 Tubo cavalry he led has no opponent in Guanzhong, even if he arrives at the scene of signing the alliance, he has the initiative to overturn all previous negotiations at any time, and he has come from the war, he knows too well how much concessions people can make in the face of threats to their lives.

Therefore, Lu Dongzan's psychology at this moment is actually to take the opportunity of signing the alliance to take down the Empress Changsun and the hundred officials of the court outside the city in one fell swoop, and after taking all their lives into his own hands, he will force them to sign the overlord clause, so that at least he can take Chang'an City at the lowest cost, if it is feasible, he still wants to scrape the oil and water in Chang'an City first, how many things are in the treasury of a big country, he will be moved when he thinks about it, and only in this way is it most in line with the interests of their Tubo people.
