Of course, Yixiang Yele wanted to leave, but he couldn't. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Lying in the palace of the king of Luoqicheng, the cold body of the ruler Zhudan, the little Zampu who is about to succeed to the throne with tears in his eyes, the foundation of the Tubo Kingdom for more than 100 years. These are all reminding Yixiang Yele not to be impulsive, but to focus on the overall situation. Today, no matter what, peace must be reached, and no matter how humiliated it is, it cannot be abandoned. This is my commitment on the occasion of the dying of the ruler belt Zhudan. When he was dying, he told Yixiang Yele that he would rather endure the humiliation for a while than ensure that the foundation of the Tubo Kingdom would not collapse.

Yi Xiang Yele did not leave, but reorganized his thoughts and began to bargain seriously on these three conditions. In fact, the three conditions in Gao Xianzhi's mouth were indeed sky-high prices, and even they themselves would not believe that Yi Xiang Ye Le would agree to these three conditions. But the so-called high to get the middle, to seek the middle to get low. In the case of an absolute psychological advantage, a sky-high asking price may get a good result.

The first negotiation of the terms of the cession took place for two hours. Around this terms of the peace talks, the two sides quarreled endlessly, smashed several tea bowls, overturned several tables, and even greeted each other's relatives, and finally reached a consensus before the sun set.

It is impossible to cede the land north of the Tanggula Pass, and the area around Qinghai Lake is the lifeblood of Tibet, and it is impossible for Tibet to give up the fertile fields in the north. But Yixiang Yele made a key concession, that is, the Stone Castle City in the area of the two lakes. Yixiang Yele agreed to cede Stone Castle City and Doma City to the Tang garrison, which was also the crux of the matter. Originally, this battle started because of Stone Castle City, and several major battles were fought around Stone Castle City, and the total number of troops invested by both sides exceeded 200,000, and finally each other won and lost. This stone castle city is also a place that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty has been thinking about getting it. Yixiang Yele agreed to cede Shibao City, which would definitely make Xuanzong happy.

One lake and two cities were ceded between two lakes and three cities. Although Antelope City in the east was not ceded to the Tang Dynasty, Yixiang Yele promised not to hoard heavy troops in Antelope City, but only symbolically stationed 5,000 garrisons. For the Tang Dynasty, after being able to get Shibao City and Doma City, the pattern of the entire northern border of Tubo has changed dramatically, and the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty can finally advance two hundred miles south from the Gravel Mountain camp and establish a large camp in Shibao City. In this way, with Shibao City as the core, the control of the land within a radius of 100 miles in the north of Tubo can be used as a springboard to threaten the hinterland of Tubo at any time in the future, and the strategic significance is self-evident.

As for Antelope City, it was once a city that Li Guangbi led his troops to easily capture, and the Tubo people kept this city in the land of the two lakes for the sake of face, but in fact, it was easy to take this city. Moreover, the Tibetans were not allowed to garrison more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, which means that in fact, the land of the two lakes was under the control of the Tang army.

For Yixiang Yele, it was of great significance to preserve the vast area of fertile land around Qinghai Lake, and although the city of Shibao was ceded to the Tang people, the Tibetans could re-expand the city and garrison their troops along the banks of the two great rivers of the Grim River and the Tongtian River, two hundred miles to the south. First, it can control the land of Qinghai Lake, and secondly, it can also be used as an important defense line north of Tanggula Pass. These two large rivers were enough to cut off the Tang army's approach to the south and southwest, and played a very good defensive effect. And it is also of great significance to be able to retain the control of Antelope City, Antelope City does not need to station too many soldiers and horses, it is just a nail placed around the Tang people, through Antelope City, you can spy on the movements of the Tang army at any time, and play an early warning effect.

In short, for both sides, there is something to gain. Although the Tibetan people suffered, they were within the scope of acceptance, so they were all happy.

In the matter of the Great Bolu Kingdom in the west, Yixiang Yele did not argue more. The Great Bolu Kingdom has been conquered by the Tang Dynasty. Gao Xianzhi re-established the lord of the country in the Great Bolu Kingdom, and the lord of the country had already declared allegiance to the Tang Dynasty and became a subject state of the Tang Dynasty. For Tibet, although it has lost its buffer in the west, at present, these things cannot endanger the survival of Tibet, at most it is passive in the pattern, so there is no need to fight too much on this.

The second point of contention was the city to the east of Tibet. According to Gao Xianzhi, it is absolutely impossible for all the land east of the Yak River and Jinsha River to be ceded to the Tang Dynasty. The city of law is the gateway to the east, and it is impossible to cede it, but it is what the Tang Dynasty wants most. After the two sides quarreled with each other over the ownership of the city, and after reaching a stalemate, Wang Yuan finally came out to speak and proposed to cede the Bison City to the Tang Dynasty forever, and attach that all the areas around the Bison City within a radius of 100 miles belong to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for it, and then the Tang Dynasty gave up the request to cede the city.

Wang Yuan's request made Yixiang Yele overjoyed, the cession of Bison City was inevitable, according to Wang Yuan's proposal, in fact, it was only a hundred miles of land around Bison City in exchange for the preservation of Luji City. Those more than 100 miles of land are all deserts, even if they don't cede it, who cares about those 100 miles of desert land?

Gao Xianzhi felt very surprised, he didn't know why Wang Yuan wanted to put forward this obviously losing condition. But Wang Yuan, as the chief envoy of peace, since he said it, Gao Xianzhi would not refute it. How did Gao Xianzhi and Yixiang Yele know that Bison City was the city that Wang Yuan really wanted, and it was his own cornucopia. If he had to choose between Bison City and Legal City, Wang Yuan would not hesitate to choose Bison City. And the exchange of hundreds of miles of space around Bison City for no longer insisting on the city is actually for the sake of the safety of Bison City. In order to defend Bison City, Wang Yuan had to garrison heavy troops here, and he was very worried about being recaptured by the Tibetans. So once the land in Bison City and the surrounding areas are returned to Datang, there is no need to worry about this problem anymore. Wang Yuan can rest assured that cornucopia will provide him with a steady stream of wealth.

As the sun set, the negotiations continued, and after a brief meal and a few glasses of wine, the two sides continued to talk about the terms that followed.

In terms of the amount of war reparations, 10 million guan is obviously impossible, and the fiscal and tax revenue of the Tubo State is only 5 million guan a year, so it is necessary to give all the financial and tax revenue of the Tubo State to the Tang Dynasty for two years. Originally, this kind of compensation was an extremely unreasonable demand, and in fact, Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi did not have much confidence in the argument. So finally, under the stalking of Yi Xiangye, this number dropped all the way, and finally shrank from 10 million to 3 million, a full 70% less. But even the three million was a surprise, Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi didn't even expect that the Tubo people were really willing to pay this money.

Article 3 on subordination to the Tang Dynasty is the most difficult to reach an agreement. Yixiang Yele clearly told Gao Xianzhi and Wang Yuan that it was impossible to be a vassal, and they could pay tribute every year, but they would never accept the Tang Emperor's division and become a subject state of the Tang Dynasty. To be a vassal is to destroy the country.

Yixiang Yele resolutely insisted on this, and Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi wanted to do their best to achieve this, thinking that if Tubo could become a subject state of the Tang Dynasty, it would greatly tie Tubo's hands and feet. At least morally, it is a kind of restraint on Tibet. If there is any change in Tibet in the future, it will be morally untenable in the first place. In these years, everything has to be moral, and the so-called righteous division is famous, and it seems that it may probably have a bonus to the combat power of the army, in short, it is very important.

But around this, after the commotion reached the third watch, the four people on both sides were tired and half dead, and Wang Yuan had already begun to lie half-lying on the chair. Yixiang Yele was even more sore in his old bones, beating his back with his fists, staggering and unable to sit still. But he still insisted on it.

Wang Yuan finally got impatient, and discussed with Gao Xianzhi in a low voice, this kind of thing in the name is actually useless, it is better to make concessions. Otherwise, it's endless.

Gao Xianzhi was also very tired, and nodded in agreement. Although it may make Xuanzong unhappy, if they can't talk, they must take a step back, otherwise the peace negotiation will not be possible.

Hearing that Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi no longer insisted, Yixiang Ye Le breathed a sigh of relief, and finally pulled back this game and ensured the greatest dignity of the Tubo Kingdom. Yixiang Yele suggested calling it a country of brothers, but Wang Yuan vetoed it. Although it is not a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, it cannot sit on an equal footing, and the country of brothers is beautiful to think about.

"I think it's called the country of uncles and nephews, I am an uncle in the Tang Dynasty, and you Tubo are nephews, so it's better. Didn't my princess of Tang Jincheng marry your Zampu? I heard that he has a son, and this son will succeed to the throne in the future, isn't it the nephew of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? The name of the country of uncles and nephews is worthy of its name, and it is so decided. If you make trouble again, you will be a barbarian country that even ignores morality. ”

When Wang Yuan said this, Yi Xiang Ye Le and Er Na Gu were so frightened that they almost slipped off their chairs, could it be that the Tang people actually knew about the upheaval in the country? After thinking about it, it is unlikely, if you really know about the drastic changes in the country, I am afraid that you will take advantage of the chaos to attack a long time ago, how can you agree to the peace talks?

Yixiang Yele no longer insisted, uncles and nephews are uncles and nephews, it's not too embarrassing, and it's true. As long as it's not a vassal, everything is easy to do. Then the two sides renegotiated the number of camels, horses, cattle and sheep to attack each year, and set the annual tribute at 10,000 heads each, and both sides were quite satisfied. As for the incidental tributes such as snow leopards, it's not that Yixiang Yele refuses, but that such wild things are hard to find, and there is not even one in the back garden of Zanpu of the Tubo Kingdom, let alone a pair of them every year for Xuanzong.

Wang Yuan didn't care if Xuanzong could get the snow leopard, this magical species was almost extinct in the future, so he had the right to be a member of the animal protection organization and protect him for future generations from this time on, so he personally announced the cancellation of this additional condition.

The peace talks were finally reached, and both sides were exhausted. Seeing that it was already dawn and the east was already bright, the two sides could finally relax and sit together and chat for a while. After daybreak, each can send the terms of your peace back to their respective courts, and the emperor and Zampu will confirm it as a formal agreement. But as both sides of the negotiation, the task is understood, and it is okay to talk about some dry topics.

Yixiang Yele finally couldn't help but dig out Wang Yuan's old accounts, showing the agreement with Tubo that Wang Yuan wrote down when he was in Wangzhou, and ridiculed Wang Yuan to his heart's content. Of course, Wang Yuan was not to be outdone, and ridiculed Yixiang Yele for being tricked by himself. The two of them tore each other apart, and finally relieved each other, and after dawn, they went back to their respective camps to their own satisfaction.
