Liu Fan pretended to be innocent and asked, "Is Ben Houti's condition excessive?" Ben Hou felt that he was already very kind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi: "Hey, two adults, do you think it's too much?" "These two are the deputy envoys of the Chu Dynasty, how can they object? Hearing this, he shook his head again and again.

Liu Qiaode said with a smile: "Master Guoshi, the conditions of Shouting Hou Ti are actually very fair, my Great Chu is a big country, and benevolence and etiquette have been passed down from generation to generation, how can I do that act of taking advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well?" Shouting Houti's conditions are actually based on the idea of self-preservation, and he has no intention of taking advantage of your country. ”

Shu Lu snorted coldly: "Don't care if the old man misunderstands or not, Marquis Liu, you still tell all the conditions of your Dachu, and the old man doesn't want to break with you one by one." ”

Liu Fan blinked and said, "Master Guoshi, are you sure you want to listen to it all at once?" ”

Shu Lu laughed angrily: "Haha, as long as you dare to say it, why doesn't the old man dare to listen?" Lord Hou, please! ”

Liu Fan said warmly: "Master Guoshi, don't be so angry, you are almost sixty years old, right?" Older people often lose their temper very badly...... Ben Hou is not cursing you, to be honest, Ben Hou wants you to live a long life more than anyone else, Ben Hou found out, in fact, you are a very good person to deal with, except for being stingy, there is nothing else wrong with it......"

Shu Lu said impatiently: "Lord Hou, let's continue to get to the point!" ”

“…… Well, in fact, we only have three conditions in total, the first point is that you pay me 10 million taels of silver to Dachu, and the second point is to ask for 200 miles of land north of Xingqing Mansion, if your Yelu Khan agrees to these two points, the third point is extremely simple for your Khitan......

As soon as Shu Lu heard this, his heart couldn't help but hang high, every time this slippery boy said it simply, the actual operation was not simple, Shu Lu really didn't know what excessive conditions he would put forward.

Liu Fan glanced at Shu Lu and continued: "...... The silver was given, the land was also given, and the rest of you will be called a minister to the Chu Dynasty by the way, and you don't need to spend half a cent of your silver, after the minister, as soon as the silver and land arrive, our Chu Dynasty will immediately send you food and weapons, and I wish you a happy fight on the grassland, and a happy ......."

Shu Lu stared at Liu Fan and said, "Lord Hou, this third condition you mentioned intends to make my Khitan a vassal to your country?" ”

Liu Fan smiled and praised: "The national teacher is really smart, I can understand what Ben Hou means when I hear it, after all, I have studied in our Dachu, that guy Itamu is uneducated, he must not understand, and it is really easy to talk to you......"

Shu Lu said angrily: "My Khitan iron cavalry is invincible, invincible, as long as we want, the whole land under heaven can become the pasture of our Khitan people, your Chu Dynasty wants us Khitan vassals, it is simply wishful thinking!" Dream on! ”

Liu Fan soothed: "The National Teacher is angry, angry, isn't it good for us to speak calmly?" What a tantrum! What's more, what you said about invincible and invincible is too exaggerated, if you don't boast about yourself like this, there must be a limit to arrogance! Sensei said something else, just talking about the Turks, you have been fighting for a few years, haven't you cleaned it up, don't dare to say it in the future, let people listen to the joke. ”

Shu Lu's fingers trembled and pointed at Liu Fan: "You don't believe it, do you?" Okay, the old man rushed back to the grassland and sent troops to attack the Chu Dynasty, but the old man wants you to see if the old man is boasting about his invincibility and defeat! ”

Liu Fan hurriedly said: "Hey, don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil, Master Guoshi, you have to think twice about this, what do you mean by this, is it because you don't want to negotiate and go to war with me directly?" Is that what you Jelu Khan mean? ”

After a short period of anger, Shulu regained his composure, and he remembered that before leaving, Yelu Khan had explained that he must reach a strategic alliance with the Chu Dynasty and use the Chu Dynasty to contain the Turks, so as to eliminate the Turks in the shortest possible time.

"Lord Hou, the old man really can't agree to the three conditions you mentioned, please forgive the old man for being rude just now, but if it's just for the little aid of your country, let me Khitan pay compensation, cut the land, and call the vassal, it is absolutely impossible, this matter will be revealed, there is no need to talk about it again!"

Liu Fan nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, we estimate that the national teacher will not agree, Ben Hou, in fact, to put it bluntly, he is a businessman, and what he believes in is 'buying and selling is not benevolent and righteous', if we can't talk about it, let's not talk about it, how boring it is to turn your face, right?" ”

Chu Yi interjected coldly on the side: "If you don't give it, we will go with Ashina Khan to get it." ”

Liu Fan was shocked when he heard this: "Oops! General Chu, in front of the national teacher, how could he be so frank? This is our final plan, why did you say it? This and this ......"

Saying that, Liu Fan turned his head to look at Shu Lu, whose face turned pale, and said with a smile: "Master Guoshi, can you pretend that you didn't hear General Chu's words just now?" ”

In the end, Liu Fan and the other three Chu Dynasty negotiation envoys were politely invited out of the post house by the Khitan national teacher. Before leaving, Liu Fan also deliberately glanced at Shu Lu's face, and saw the anger on his face, but he had to suppress it, and there was a little hesitation...... There are several expressions on one face, which is really unpredictable and complicated...... I think it was Chu Yi's words that gave him a lot of pressure.

The situation is stronger than people, the nation on horseback, this behemoth is consuming each other in the national hegemony, if it was changed before, Shu Lu heard Liu Fan's conditions, maybe he would laugh a few times with disdain, and then refuse directly without thinking about it. But now the situation is different, the two "golden families" of Ashina and Yelu on the grassland are competing for hegemony, for the Khitan, the Turkic rival is like a thorn in the flesh, deeply rooted in the heart of Yelu Khan, if the Ashina family is not uprooted, how can Yelu Khan sleep peacefully? Moreover, if the Chu Dynasty is biased towards the Turkic side, Yelu Khan can even deduce that his end will inevitably be annihilated by the Turks and the Great Chu in the long river of history...... Under such a situation, how could Shulu dare to abandon Yelu Khan's overall situation and categorically reject Liu Fan's three-point request?

"If the old guy dies of anger because of this, will Ben Hou bear legal responsibility?" Liu Fan looked back and glanced at Shu Lu with a blue face, really a little uneasy.

Liu Qiaode glanced at Liu Fan's gaze and said with a smile: "No, Marquis Liu, this Khitan national teacher is not a character who will be easily angered to death." ”

Liu Fan smiled when he heard this: "That maybe, Benhou Guan's national teacher Yintang is black, and his face is gloomy, I'm afraid that this person won't live long, maybe as soon as the negotiation is over, he will hang up as soon as he returns to the grassland...... In this way, Benhou can be regarded as another meritorious service to our Great Chu Dynasty, and the emperor should reward Benhou with another 1,000 taels of gold as a reward. ”

Liu Qiaode replied with a smile: "Today, it seems that the emperor let Marquis Liu participate in the negotiations, it is really wise, the emperor's wisdom of knowing people, employing people, driving people's authority, and accommodating people's arms, the old man is really admired." ”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, you have said it so tactfully, and if you say that Ben Hou will extort bamboo and bargain, Ben Hou will take this as a compliment." ”

It was not early, Liu Fan said goodbye to Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi, and led 500 sergeants back to the house with a swagger -- for the sake of safety, during the negotiations, Xiang Jingwu specially approved 500 sergeants to be stationed in Liu's mansion to change shifts and guards day and night. The emperor's grace is so vast, the Liu family has made a big appearance in Luoyang City this time, and now the Liu family is no longer a simple businessman's family, and in the eyes of others, it is already faintly filled with the atmosphere of the gate valve family. When officials and businessmen are combined, it is a behemoth, which is daunting.
