Chapter 620: Difficult Negotiations
(How to say it, yesterday I took a car all the way to my hometown, and now it's updated!!) )
Early the next morning, Zhou Jiao reappeared outside the Wei army camp with the Qi delegation.
This time, Zhou Jiao was still standing tall, and his momentum was not much weaker than yesterday.
Wei Wuji and the others didn't come out to greet them today, so Zhou Jiao and his party could only go in by themselves.
This was undoubtedly another blow to the morale of the entire Qi mission, and Wei was bowing down to the posture of a victor.
Of course, Wei State's unruly behavior, everyone in Qi State didn't need to think about it to know that this was Wei Wuji's arrangement.
Sure enough, after a dozen of them entered the military tent, they saw Wei Wuji himself sitting upright on the first and only main seat on the military tent.
The other officials of Wei sat on Wei Wuji's left, vacating their seats on the right.
Zhou Jiao was naturally very unhappy with this, Wei Wuji himself sat on the top, which did not put the Qi State in the place of his subordinates.
So, Zhou Jiao stopped, stood at the door of the military tent and said: "Wu Yangjun, Qi and Wei are both big countries, and they should be equal in their deliberations!"
"This position at the top, in the old man's opinion, it is better for no one to sit!" Zhou Jiao said unhurriedly.
At this time, he was naturally not in a hurry, because he received a report last night that after the beginning of spring, Qin and Chu had already begun to fight hard, and the time to send troops again must not be far away.
Therefore, at this time, Zhou Jiao will have the temperament to ask Wei Wuji, otherwise the matter of forbearance will pass.
"The purpose of negotiating peace was to eliminate the war, does Wei still want to continue to fight with the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Qin at the same time?" Zhou Jiao went further.
In this sentence, the threat becomes even stronger.
But what Zhou Jiao didn't know was that Wei Wuji had learned about the situation on the front line of Changping Pass a few days ago, so the two kingdoms of Qin and Chu in Zhou Jiao's mouth did not shock him much.
When he heard that Zhou Jiao was using the two kingdoms of Qin and Chu to pressure him, Wei Wuji even wanted to laugh in his heart, this was just a manifestation of having no confidence in negotiation!
So, Wei Wuji replied directly: "According to the meaning of the Qi envoy, this collegiate discussion today is not negotiable?"
These words made the faces of everyone in the military tent suddenly change greatly, except for the people of the Qi State, the officials of the Wei State, including Qu Weidao, also looked at Wei Wuji in disbelief at this time.
Wei now needs to withdraw from the Qi side, if Wei Wuji continues like this, who knows when this collegial agreement will be the end.
Qu Weidao and the others were about to come out to speak, but under the forced gaze of Wei Wuji's murderous gaze, they could only hold their words in their mouths one by one.
was choked by Wei Wuji, but Zhou Jiao sneered at this time: "It is beneficial for all the people to eliminate the army, and this peace discussion will naturally be discussed!" ”
When everyone in Qi heard this, they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts, this is really begging for peace! Wei Wuji was arrogant, but they still had to negotiate peace.
But the people of Wei were relieved at this time, and the people of Qi finally relented.
At this time, they couldn't help but have some admiration for Wei Wuji, this one really controlled the life of the Qi State.
And the reason why Wei Wuji was able to restrain the people of Qi so easily was thanks to Zhou Jiao's self-report yesterday. really knew that this person's fief was still in the Wei occupation area, so Wei Wuji was not afraid of him jumping up.
He still has a good understanding of the thinking of this kind of great aristocracy, and they will do anything for their own benefit. And Qi Jun Tian Yuwen sent these people, which in itself also shows that the court of Qi is now the world of the world.
Subsequently, when the atmosphere was somewhat stiff, the first peace talks between the two countries officially began.
But at the beginning, the "rude" request made by Wei State, Qi State's side blew up.
The demand for ceding Yuan County and compensating for a large amount of grain was unacceptable to the Qi people.
But this is also the meaning of the mainstream in the Wei court now, they think that they should take the opportunity to vigorously weaken the Qi State, so as to abolish this old enemy.
Therefore, Wei Wuji himself did not say a word in the specific negotiations. This kind of thing that involves fundamental interests cannot be changed by his playfulness.
It is impossible for the people of Qi to agree to these conditions, so the current negotiation is just a useless war of words, and it is impossible to negotiate any results.
Therefore, Wei Wuji was even a little drowsy when he heard it, and even he really fell asleep in the end.
The Wu'an clan arranged Wei Wuji here to separate him, and the negotiation with or without Wei Wuji was actually the same.
As for yesterday and today, Wei Wuji took the initiative to come out to fight with the Qi people, which was also the only thing he could do, to spread his reputation for himself.
After all, if he really had no nationality in the negotiations between Qi and Wei, wouldn't he really waste this time.
Wei Wuji fell asleep at the negotiation table, but the rhetoric on the left and right sides had not stopped, and they both wanted to fight for and protect their interests.
At this time, Qu Weidao also showed a completely different side from Peaceday, looking like an enraged tiger and leopard, choking the feudal monarch of Qi on the other side.
In the end, after arguing for a long time, no one could convince anyone, except for the two major heads, land cutting and grain payment, and even some other subsidiary small demands could not be agreed upon.
When the final battle ended, the envoys of Qi left the table angrily, and Wei Wuji also opened his eyes after they left.
In fact, when the negotiations came to an end, Wei Wuji didn't sleep.
"Childe, this old man is really stubborn, you should kill his majesty!" Qu Weidao was also a little angry.
Wei Wuji shook his head, and then said, "The negotiation has just begun, what are you anxious ......about?"
Qu Weidao didn't expect this son to say this, shouldn't this person have rioted on the spot and embarrassed those Qi people?
As a diplomat with a lot of experience, Qu Weidao certainly knew that negotiation was a long-term affair, and he just wanted to move Wei Wuji to help.
Fortunately, Wei Wuji still saw the most essential problem of this matter clearly, and knew that it was difficult for him to change the bottom line of the Qi people.
Therefore, Wei Wuji said again at this time: "I want the people of Qi to cut the land...... I'm afraid it's difficult! ”
It was a whole county, and it was also the fiefdom of many Qi nobles, how could they give it up.
Standing up, Wei Wuji walked to Qu Weidao's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "There is still a long time to come, let's talk slowly!" ”
Then, Wei Wuji left the big tent first, leaving everyone in the tent to meditate.
And for Wei Wuji, this time can't be wasted like this, compared to negotiation...... The Xiangping camp was undoubtedly more attractive to him.
Moreover, Wei Wuji also heard that his third brother would be back in two days, and this was the home of the family.
But Wei Wuji was not ready to back down this time, he wanted to work hard to strengthen his presence in the Xiangping camp, and he was destined to have a fight with Wei Jianlin.
In the face of this boring negotiation that didn't know when it would be fruitful, Wei Wuji was even more looking forward to the arrival of his third brother.
