The afternoon negotiation that was said to be good, but it didn't start until the end of the day under the continuous urging of Wanyan Aguda.

"It's so hot, and I didn't sleep well last night, so I can't stop eating at noon, right? There is no hurry to negotiate this kind of thing, in short, the three northern roads are ceded to you Jurchens, and the rest are trivial matters, so why hurry? This is the answer given by Lin Jue.

Wanyan Agu didn't say it on the surface, but he actually muttered in his heart. According to the reports of his subordinates, the camp of the Luoyan Army did not stop for a moment. The camp, which was a flat land yesterday, has changed dramatically by this afternoon. The walls around the camp for miles have been built, and the arrow towers around the camp have been erected. Large and small earthen platforms were also erected. It didn't feel like an ordinary camp anymore, but like a city raised from the ground. Since Lin Jue had agreed to give in, but he had stepped up the construction of such a camp, why was that? Just because defense is needed? Or is there some other intention?

Wanyan Aguda decided to speed up the negotiations, and he figured out that as long as the three-way territory was in hand, everything else was not important. There weren't many people in the Great Zhou Dynasty on these three roads, and they all died and fled, and there was not much left. Even if the rest were all gone, it wouldn't be a big deal. It's a big deal to migrate the people of the tribe from the Jurchen tribe here, move the population from the Liao country to the south to come here, and then plunder some people from the Great Zhou to fill here in the future. So he decided that he would agree to all the details that Lin Jue had proposed, so that this kid couldn't delay any longer. There is no denying that he should sign the agreement as soon as possible.

Sure enough, the discussion in the afternoon was beyond Lin Jue's expectations, and the discussion of all the details he proposed was quickly resolved by Wanyan Aguda. There is only one solution, no matter what Lin Jue said, Wanyan Agu nodded and agreed. The imaginary rip-offs and bargaining did not happen, which caught Lin Jue off guard. Wanyan Agu Da only insists on one bottom line, that is, the issue of land ownership of the three northern roads of the Great Zhou. As long as you agree to attribute these three paths to the Jurchens, you don't care about anything else.

Lin Jue was a little depressed, if it went on like this, wouldn't it be impossible to delay any longer. If all the problems are solved and he doesn't sign again, Wanyan Aguda will definitely understand that he is deliberately delaying time and deceiving him. Although the construction of the camp has begun to see scale, it has not yet achieved results, and it will take at least a day or two tomorrow to reach the minimum standard of defending the camp in my heart. The Jurchens had more than 250,000 soldiers and horses, although the main force was less than 200,000, and the rest were cannon fodder. However, its combat strength is also twice that of its own side. Especially in the field of this kind of flat land, it is their advantage. Lin Jue had to change this battle situation out of thin air and turn it into a defensive battle that the Luoyan Army was good at and could make full use of the advantages of firearms according to the terrain, which was the key to victory.

As a result, Lin Jue threw out a heavy problem, wanting to delay it for a longer time.

"The great leader of Wanyan is very happy, and this negotiation has gone very smoothly. There seems to be no major disagreement about the relocation of property and materials, the setting up of the field, and the trade of the people in the land of the three roads. However, there is one more thing that we still need to discuss. That's what I said in the morning, these three roads are covered

After the cession, I will inevitably be scolded by the officials and people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, those officials who have property and land in the land of the three roads will also quarrel with me. I need to compensate them and shut them up. In addition, I am infamous myself, and I am afraid that the big leader will have to give me some compensation. Otherwise, wouldn't I be infamous for eternity, and I wouldn't get any benefit? ”

Wanyan Agu laughed and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." You say how to compensate. Gold or silver or jewelry? ”

Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "Cash silver is naturally the best, I can use it to compensate those big officials who are shouting, and if the court is dissatisfied with me, I can also take it out to gag them." At least to alleviate the financial pressure of the imperial court, it can be regarded as not ceding the three roads in vain. Personally, I naturally want to prepare some money and buy some land in case of emergency. Maybe because of this incident, I even lost my official title, and when the time comes, will the family drink the northwest wind? ”

Wanyan Agu sneered: "Don't tell me what you have or not, now in Da Zhou, you are a person who covers the sky with one hand, who dares to dismiss your official?" It's almost the same as you dismiss their officials. Just tell me how much money you want, and you don't have to beat around the bush. ”

Lin Jue rubbed his hands and smiled: "This, it's a little embarrassing to say it directly." Well, then, if you compensate me for this amount of silver, I think that's about the same. ”

Lin Jue stretched out three fingers.

"Thirty thousand taels?" Wanyan Agu Avenue.

Lin Jue sank his face and sighed, "Is the Great Leader of Wanyan calling Huazi?" What can 30,000 taels do? ”

Wanyan Agu laughed and said, "Just kidding, that's 300,000 taels." Well, it's a lot of money, but it'...... I agreed. I want to find a way to raise 300,000 taels for you. ”

Lin Jue smiled and shook his head silently, shaking three slender fingers.

"What do you mean? Do you mean three million taels of silver? I can tell you, don't go too far. Three million taels? Are you crazy? After Yan Agu was shocked, he immediately said angrily.

Lin Jue rolled his eyes, shook his three fingers and said, "It's not three million taels, it's ...... thirty million taels of silver. ”

"What?" Wanyan Agu's stunned mouth opened so much that he could see the pituitary gland in his throat. "You must have lost your mind, thirty million taels? Are you a fool of money? Everywhere? I can see that you are here for entertainment, you have no sincerity at all, you are trying to delay time, right? Okay, Lao Tzu will kill Yan Mingyue and your evil seed now, and then order the army to attack, and we will see on the battlefield. ”

Wanyan Agu was furious and angry, looking angry and ruined.

Lin Jue sneered: "I gave you the fertile land of the three roads." Do you know how much area I have on the North Third Road of Dazhou? With a radius of more than 600 miles, it takes three days and three nights to ride a horse. Millions of acres of fertile land and hundreds of state capitals are enough to feed tens of millions of people. More importantly, it is the northern gateway of my Great Zhou. You got so much cheap, and you still sell well? If you want to fight, then we will fight. With your many soldiers and horses, and the terrain is favorable, you may be able to defeat us. But my Luoyan Army is not a soft persimmon, and you have also been taught. Even if all of my fallen geese army is gone

, and it has to make you half dead. What can you do with the tens of thousands of remnants of your army at that time? It is not allowed to be driven by the Liao people to run around like rabbits. Even if the soldiers and horses of the southern state capital of my Great Zhou gathered here, you are not an opponent. Hum! Short-sighted, not to speak. ”

Wanyan Agu scolded angrily: "Your lion opened his mouth wide, asking for 30 million taels of silver, and his appetite is inevitably too big. First, I don't have so much money for you, and second, even if I had, you wouldn't expect me to give you so much. ”

Lin Jue smacked his lips and said, "We can talk." You will give as much as I want? You can bargain, you know? What is the threat of attacking at every turn, threatening the lives of my wife and children? This shows the lack of sincerity. ”

Wanyan Agu said angrily: "If Lao Tzu is not sincere, he will not rub his tongue with you here." Thirty million taels is impossible. Three million taels is not enough. ”

"If you're stingy with that money, then we really don't have anything to talk about. I'm not asking you to take it out all at once, knowing your poor jingle. You Jurchens have never seen millions of taels of silver piled up in your life, so it's no wonder. In this way, I will give a discount, 10 million taels, no less. It doesn't matter if you don't have cash, you can pay it over five years. In addition, it can be offset with supplies. If the supplies are comparative, I only need two things, one is a good horse, and the other is fine iron. I heard that you have opened a large iron mine in Liaoyang, and the iron dug out of the ground is endless. Lin Jue said nonsense in order to stabilize Yan Agu's mouth. He knew that Wanyan Aguda would never agree to this amount, let alone use strategic materials such as war horses and iron ingots to offset it, and Lin Jue's purpose was to shift the focus of the controversy again, so as to create another point of contention to delay time.

Sure enough, Wanyan Aguda didn't understand the art of sophistry at all, and immediately fell for it.

"What do you want to be beautiful, take war horses and iron ingots to counteract? Isn't that a knife to you, and if we fight in the future, isn't it an act of the enemy? Don't even think about it. Don't you understand when Lao Tzu? ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to live peacefully with my Great Zhou? Why do you say you want to fight us? It can be seen that your mouth is full of lies, harboring evil intentions, and your ambition is not extinguished. Lin Jue successfully recreated a contradiction.

The two began to quarrel back and forth on many contradictory topics, and even abuse each other. One will be reasonable, one will scold the mother, one will threaten each other, and the other will deceive each other. Lin Jue provoked one point after another that made Wanyan Agu jump to his feet, completely dominated the quarrel, and successfully delayed the time until the sun set.

"That's it, just do as you say. The number is set at five million taels, which is all right. You will not use the iron ingots of horses against each other, but you will do it with other things. I think we'll make a final decision tomorrow morning on what kind of payment will be used. It's getting late, I'm going back to the camp to rest, I'm too tired to negotiate with you, my mouth is dry and my throat is on fire. I need to go back and get some rest. Tomorrow morning, see you or leave. Tomorrow morning, we're going to sign the agreement, and I don't want to meet you anymore. After the agreement was signed, I led the army to evacuate, and after that, we sent envoys to complete the handover. Lin Jue dropped these few words and walked away with the people, and Agu was helpless, so he had to go back to the camp.
