Chapter 479: Negotiation (continued)

Ah Luo's mind is more sober than that of Luo Fenglai. Although she is a staunch supporter of Ge Luofeng, in the matter of being an enemy of Datang, A Luo has reminded Ge Luofeng more than once that this is a dangerous behavior. It's a pity that Ge Luofeng, the new lord of the country, is full of ambition and thinks that he will achieve a great cause, so he just takes Ah Luo's words as a deaf ear.

Ever since Wang Yuansuo led the Jiannan Army into the territory of Nanzhao, Ah Luo has always hoped that Ge Luofeng can negotiate peace with the Tang army so that the situation will not deteriorate. Therefore, there have been many disputes with Ge Luofeng because of war or peace. Ge Luofeng also didn't understand Ah Luo's previous hard work until the battle of Yangji Bacheng was defeated.

This time, Ah Luo took a risk, but also wanted to save Nanzhao from danger in the end. If you can control Wang Yuan, you can strive for the greatest interests of Nanzhaoguo. Directly controlling Wang Yuan's order to withdraw may seem abrupt, but at least it can make Wang Yuan accept those innocuous peace terms, which is what Ah Luo wants. And now, his actions have failed, and Wang Yuan's words just now have depicted an even more terrifying scene, how does this make Ah Luo not frightened and frightened.

"Ask for ...... Please don't do that. Please. Ah Luo stood up suddenly, Ying Ying knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Yuan, and the noble princess finally lowered her unyielding head. She is not afraid of her own life and death, and she is not afraid of her innocence being tarnished, but what she is afraid of is the future of the bleak and bloody Nanzhao Kingdom.

Wang Yuan said solemnly: "Princess, please get up, you don't have to be like this." ”

Ah Luo said in a low voice: "But please don't do that, Ah Luo is willing to be your slave for the rest of your life, but please don't let our Nanzhao Kingdom fall into chaos and fighting." Under the Cangshan Mountain, the shore of Erhai Lake has been chaotic for hundreds of years, and the people of Nanzhao have had enough of it and can no longer withstand the situation of cannibalism. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Since I told you frankly my intentions, I just don't want to go that far. Whether you want to do that or not is not up to me, it is entirely up to you Nanzhaoguo. Do you see what I mean? It's awkward to get up and talk. ”

Ah Luo got up slowly, bit her lip and said, "I understand, you put forward the conditions." What kind of concessions do you want my Nanzhao to make? ”

Wang Yuan said: "I have several conditions for peace here, you can take a look, as long as you agree to these conditions, the peace agreement will be completed, and your Nanzhao Kingdom can survive." ”

Wang Yuan got up and walked to the side of the low cabinet, took out a piece of paper with a few lines of handwriting from the low cabinet and handed it to Princess A Luo, who reached out and took it and read it carefully under the red candle.

"First, Nanzhao needs to immediately write to the Tang Dynasty to admit his guilt, admit that the ministers of Nanzhao belong to the Tang Dynasty, pay tribute every year, and regard themselves as courtiers. His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can crown Luo Feng, the lord of Nanzhao, as the king of Nanzhao, and command the six edicts with the emperor's order. ”

"Second, the Nanzhao State needs to immediately send an envoy to the Tubo State, announce the severance of relations with the Tubo, and return all the titles of the crown of the Tubo State Zampu, the camels, horses, gold and silver and other items gifted. He also announced that unless the Tang Dynasty court allowed it, he would never have the slightest contact with the Tibetan country. The envoys and officials of the Tubo State who stayed in Nanzhao must all be handed over to the Tang Dynasty for disposal. ”

"Third, the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court will set up two fetter states in Anding City and Nongdong City, and Nanzhao State needs to assist the imperial court in establishing these two fetter prefectures, and will never allow the establishment of these two fetter states. It is necessary to provide manpower assistance in the reconstruction of the city. The border of Nanzhao Kingdom is bounded by the line between Nongdong City and Anding City, and if there is any act of crossing the border, it will be regarded as rebellion. The imperial court will strike mercilessly. ”

Fourth, after the capture of Yaozhou, the looted people's property was returned, and the number of Tang troops killed in the crusade against the Nanzhao State was as high as 50,000, and the Nanzhao State could not escape the blame. However, Nanzhao also suffered heavy casualties, so the matter of bereavement can be avoided. However, the Nanzhao State needed to erect a monument for the fallen soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the shore of the Erhai Lake, indicating that the death of these soldiers was caused by the rebellion of the Nanzhao State against the Tang Dynasty. Ge Luofeng needs to personally worship this monument to apologize. ”

There are only four agreements on paper, but each of these four is an extremely difficult condition to accept. By accepting this agreement, Nanzhao actually lost a lot of land and autonomy. It is inevitable to become a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, and the establishment of a new state capital in Anding City and Nongdong City is equivalent to two sharp knives stuck in front of the gate of Nanzhao State. The severance of diplomatic relations with the Tubo State eliminated the only possibility that the Nanzhao State could unite against the Tang Dynasty, and the Nanzhao State was no longer able to stir up trouble. The last one may seem like no substantial loss, but it is a mental insult and repression. Once the monument of the Tang Army's fallen soldiers on the shore of Erhai Lake was completed, this battle with the Tang Dynasty became a dazzling tattoo, forever tattooed in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Nanzhao. And Ge Luofeng has to worship in person, which is an excessive request.

Ah Luo's face turned pale, her fingers trembled, she only thought of the harshness of the peace conditions, but she didn't expect it to be so harsh.

"This ...... These conditions are too much. In this way, our Nanzhao Kingdom is actually equivalent to destroying the country, and these conditions must not be agreed. Ah Luo gritted her teeth and said.

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "Are you stupid?" Not a single word of these four articles can be changed, and only if you agree to these four conditions, can Nanzhao continue to exist. Let me tell you the truth, my army has reached the foot of Taihe City, and a large number of people in Chang'an City are shouting in front of Your Majesty every day to destroy your Nanzhao. To stop their mouths, there must be a peace agreement that is completely beneficial to the Tang Dynasty before His Majesty can promise to keep your Nanzhao Kingdom. Do you think I can negotiate anything with you? You don't understand that, do you? ”

Ah Luo took a long breath and shook his head: "I understand, I know that you must also come up with a peace agreement that is extremely favorable to the Tang Dynasty in order to convince your Tang Emperor." But once these conditions are agreed, will my Nanzhao Kingdom still have to establish a country? ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "Sure enough, women can't participate in politics, their minds are too simple." There is a saying that the emperor of the mountain is far away, do you know? It seems that your Nanzhao Kingdom has lost a lot, but if you think about it carefully, there is an article here that involves the internal affairs of your Nanzhao? That is to say, I Datang will not interfere in the affairs of your Nanzhao State at all, this is the sovereignty of the country. The sovereignty is still there, what do you care about, what is the meaning of the external name or something? What is the significance of caring about an inscription? Really keep your Nanzhao Kingdom from destruction, this is your purpose. ”

A Luo was silent, I have to say that what Wang Yuan said is also true, although Nanzhao is subordinate to the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty may not be able to interfere in the affairs of the Nanzhao Kingdom. Donating tribute is just a superficial article, so that Datang has face. It doesn't make much sense to dwell on these aspects.

"The two prefectures of Nongdong City and Anding City will belong to my Jiannan Dao, in other words, it is entirely up to me. And I don't intend to follow the example of other Tang Dynasty governors and send heavy troops to interfere in local affairs. I will appoint an official who can reconcile the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and your Nanzhao barbarians, and I will never do anything to harm the barbarians. In fact, these two states are more like buffer zones, and I can open them up as places of trade, isn't that what you've always wanted? ”

Ah Luo frowned and thought for a moment, "But will you really do this?" You wouldn't have tricked us into agreeing to this clause and deliberately said that. ”

Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said, "How can you look at me like this, am I so shameless?" ”

A Luo said in her heart: "Of course you have. ”

Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said, "How can I explain it to you?" Let me tell you this, after this battle, I will be the envoy of Jiannan Province, and I don't want to be disturbed by your Nanzhao Kingdom every day in the place where I work. Therefore, in my opinion, either you will be destroyed in the Nanzhao Kingdom, or you will maintain friendly relations with you. I don't like to see each other either, so that's why I'll make peace with you. These two prefectures will be appointed by me, and I will never send someone like Zhang Qiantuo to make people angry and make me sleep. In my personal interest, as long as you abide by the agreement, I will be tolerant. Do you get the idea? ”

Ah Luo understood that this Wang Yuan was a selfish person, and from his personal selfish point of view, what he said was obviously more credible than those crown words.

Ah Luo thought about it again and again, and felt that there was actually no way out, so he frowned and asked, "If we agree to this peace agreement, can you withdraw your troops immediately?" ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and smiled, "No." ”

Ah Luo's eyes widened and she said angrily, "You...... So what's the use of this peace discussion? ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "This is a peace agreement of the imperial court, and I still have some small personal requests, and I can withdraw my troops only after agreeing to these small requests." ”

A Luo said angrily: "You are really a despicable person, if you sincerely don't want to reach a peace agreement, you can make it clear that my Nanzhao Kingdom is important, but even if it is destroyed, you will have to pay a huge price." ”

"Calm your anger, it's not difficult to achieve my personal small conditions, why be so excited? Everyone is considerate of each other, and besides, these conditions are also good for you. Wang Yuan said with a smile.
