"Peaceful coexistence?!"

Tuta and He Dansheng glanced at each other, the Hulan people have made trouble with the Military Governor's Mansion to such a point, and they are already enemies who are not dying, is this so-called "peaceful coexistence" still possible?

But since the other party said so, he had no choice but to adjust his mentality, and said to Ye Yin: "You are right, sign the peace treaty as soon as possible, and we can return to peace as soon as possible, but let us withdraw from Shuoyang like this, this is too harsh, is there really no room for negotiation?" ”

Ye Yin thought for a while and said: "In this way, let's talk about the issue of compensation first, since we are unwilling to give in to these two points, it is better to put it aside for the time being, and talk about it later, and then negotiate to solve the issue of Shuoyang's ownership after the compensation issue is established......"

Tuta and He Dansheng feel that it is reasonable, since the first issue cannot be effectively resolved, it is better to talk about these small issues about compensation first, so that even if this negotiation fails, they can go back to deal with He Danluo.

Ye Yin pointed to the compensation on the treaty and said, "Your envoy thinks that this 130 million silver is too much, right?" Since this is the case, our military governor's office will naturally release some sincerity, how about 120 million taels of silver? ”

"Too many!" Tuta hurriedly said, "I can't take out so much silver in Shuoyang, General Luo said, I can only give out 30 million taels at most, and I really can't take out more ......."

Ye Yin shook his head and said, "Two, I advise you to come out with some sincerity, such an amount is really far from what you expected......

Tuta said with a bitter face: "Ye Gongzi, let me pay a bottom line, forty million taels of silver, this is already the limit of what our Shuoyang can take, there is really no ......"

He Dansheng also said: "Yes, Ye Gongzi, 40 million silver is indeed the largest amount that we can give out in Shuoyang, no matter how much we can't get out......"

"Can't you really get it?" Ye Yin sneered, and then said to He Dansheng, "Then I'll show you the way, Shuoyang may only be able to produce this silver, but those noble gentry entrenched in the city have silver, you can ask them to raise some ......."

"This ......"

When Tuta and He Danluo heard this, their faces suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, indeed the situation in Shuoyang is as Ye Yin said, these Hulan people in the city have money, after all, they all dragged their families into Shuoyang to avoid it, and naturally they brought it along with their belongings, but they want this group of noble gentry who are used to enjoying it to donate silver? This is even more difficult than climbing to the sky! You need to use some means.

Ye Yin continued: "Two, 120 million taels of silver is the bottom line of the compensation, and it is absolutely impossible for our military governor's mansion to change it again, please consider it carefully, but it must be fast......"

He Dansheng thought for a while and said: "Lord Military Governor, Ye Gongzi, let's take a step back and don't fight, I'll say another number, 70 million taels, if you agree, I'll go back to the city and discuss with General Luo how about getting together this silver as soon as possible and sending it to you in person?" ”

Ye Yin said lightly: "Give up 50 million taels at once, your envoy is really good at trading, okay, since you are so sincere, I won't embarrass you in the future, 100 million taels, no less......"

"It's still too much...... Tuta refused, "It's impossible for us to prepare so much silver in a short period of time, 70 million is already a lot, and your army shouldn't embarrass us anymore......"

Ye Yin glanced at Liu Ce, who was like an old monk, thought for a while and said: "It seems that your envoy is indeed full of sincerity, it's just that 80 million taels, plus 2,000 Hulan captives, a total of 83 million taels, this condition shouldn't be too much, right?" ”

"Two thousand captives? You mean......" He Dansheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "You also captured our Hulan warriors?" ”

"Ranye......" Ye Yin said calmly, "In the battle of Linghe, the two thousand Hulan warriors including the chief general of your army, Sarah, are all guests in the barracks, if you agree to compensate 83 million silver, you can also take these warriors with you when you arrive." ”

"Please wait a minute, let's discuss ......"

Tuta and He Danluo immediately discussed when they heard this, and now the Hulan people have suffered repeated blows, and every adult Hulan male is an extremely valuable resource, so they can't pay attention to it, and they can grab it again after the money is gone, but if the Hulan people drop to a certain percentage, it is very likely to be swallowed up by the rest of the grassland tribes.

After a while, Tuta and He Dansheng had already made a decision, raised their heads to look at Ye Yin, nodded and said, "Okay, we agree to your army's request and are willing to pay your army 83 million taels of silver as compensation......"

"Very good......" Ye Yin showed a smile on his face, and then pointed to another clause and said: "Then about the issue of slaves in various departments, let's discuss it again......

After repeated bargaining, the two sides agreed to leave more than half of the Central Plains slaves, but the women must all be taken away, after all, the grassland and the Central Plains environment are very different, women are the foundation of their reproduction, imagine that if there are no women, no matter how brave the tribes on the grassland will eventually weaken one day, although Ye Yin argues with reason, they have never given in, and their attitude is extremely resolute, and they can only give up for the sake of the overall situation of Shuoyang.

After the other terms were discussed, they finally returned to the essence, but Ye Yin asked, "Two, should we talk about the withdrawal of your army from the Shuoyang Rotary Stopper?" ”

In fact, this is a set set by Ye Yin for them, deliberately avoiding the main contradictions, first reaching an agreement with them on issues such as military spending and slaves, and then going back to discuss the topic, the resistance of one party has been greatly reduced, imagine that all the additional issues have been negotiated, and the last step will be successful, and no one is willing to give up, after all, everyone does not want to push down the previous agreement and start again, it is too laborious, in the end, Tuta and He Dansheng are still too tender, far inferior to Liu Ce and Ye Yin are as cunning as foxes.

Sure enough, when the second time the issue of Shuoyang's ownership was discussed, Tuta and He Dansheng only slightly contradicted each other, and then began to have a serious conversation about the withdrawal of troops.

"Can your army guarantee that we won't take the opportunity to outflank and kill when we withdraw from Shuoyang?"

"This is natural, under the guarantee of personality, all the Hulan people in Shuoyang can leave safely, of course, provided that the military compensation promised to us must be paid during this period......

"Then leave Shuoyang, please allow us to take all the people of Jizhou away......"

"I'm afraid this is difficult to achieve, there are more than 1.4 million people in Shuoyang, will you all take away and leave an empty city for us?"

"Half is always okay, right?"

"No, you can only leave the Hulan people and the rest of the grassland tribesmen, and you can't take away the people of the Central Plains in Shuoyang!"

"What about the woman? It's okay for us to just take women, right? The women belong to us, and the Shuoyang city and the men and the common people belong to you, this is always okay, right? ”

"Your Excellency, think carefully, how many of these women can survive to the outside of the fortress? I still recommend that you travel lightly and leave as soon as possible......"

The two sides kept arguing, and no one could convince anyone at once, and at this moment, Liu Ce, who had been silent, finally opened his tiger eyes and said coldly to Tuta and He Dansheng: "What qualifications do you have to talk about conditions?" The military governor only asked, do you plan to return to the outside of the fortress unconditionally, or wait for Shuoyang City to be broken and the blood will flow like a river? Pick your own!

Now you can only nod or shake your head, there is no third option, this military governor really wants you to shake your head, so that when the city is broken, you can get far more loot than on this contract! ”

After listening to Liu Ce's obviously provocative words, Tuta and He Dansheng gritted their teeth with hatred, but they understood that if they really shook their heads, Liu Ce would definitely wave his army to take Shuoyang City, and they might really "burn the jade" when the time came.

After careful consideration, they finally nodded humiliatingly, signed their names on the peace treaty, and after discussing some details, they got up and left......
