Chapter 415: Bargaining
readx;
Lin Zhao's side was asking for a price, Tuoba Shi was a little annoyed, and the peace talks on the first day ended unhappily. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother Dongyang, will it be a little too much today?" When he went back, the planter was a little confused. Lin Zhao wants the whole of Suizhou with one mouth, which is a bit of a joke.
Lin Zhao said with a smile: "If you don't worry, Suizhou Xixia will definitely not give it, it's a joke!" ”
"Kidding? Childe, can this peace talk also be child's play? Li Cheng was a little puzzled, his current identity to the outside world was a retainer and guard recruited by Lin Zhao, and he did not arouse the suspicion of others.
"Peace talks are not so easy, and it is simply impossible to have any concrete results or progress on the first day." Lin Zhao shook his head and said: "Today, I just want to find faults, so that Tuoba Stone is not happy, and if there is any mistake in my heart, it will naturally be the best." Moreover, in terms of momentum, we must shock the Western Xia, lest they make some excessive demands first, and we will be embarrassed. I just want to see how the Tangut people react and the bottom line...... Anyway, Liang Yi is buried in our hands, and the initiative is also ours! ”
All this was an established strategy, and the weakness of the Song court caused the Song Dynasty to weaken a little in terms of overall momentum. Lin Zhao didn't want to be passive because of this, so he could only shock the Western Xia people in his aura. After learning about his noble status as a prince, Lin Zhao's confidence and momentum were even more sufficient.
The seed master said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Dongyang is eloquent before, but today I really see what it means to have a lotus flower, and my mouth is like a river." ”
"Are you complimenting me?" Lin Zhao joked with a smile.
"It's just that in this case, how will the Xixia side react? Can these peace talks continue as usual? "Seed Master Dao is a little worried, although he is from a family of military generals. War means merit. But if it can be properly resolved peacefully, it will be the best, and war will be cruel after all.
Lin Zhao said with a smile: "It's hard to say Xixia's reaction at the moment, let's look at their attitude behind it!" Today's Tuoba Stone first mentioned Liang Yi's burial. It shows that the Empress Dowager Liang cares about her younger brother very much......"
"In exchange for Liang Yi buried, the Tangut people must pay the price!"
"That's nature!" Lin Zhao said leisurely: "We have to see if they agree happily and the price they were willing to pay before, so that we can deduce their true purpose." ”
"What does Brother Dongyang mean that there will be variables in this peace talks?" The seed master was a little puzzled.
"That's right!" I know my own affairs, if it weren't for Liang Yibury the captured Tanguts, how would there be a truce? How can you pull down your face and talk about peace? Originally, they captured Origami. You can talk to yourself about the conditions. But that advantage no longer exists. Coupled with the fact that she took advantage of the Empress Dowager Liang in Suizhou that night, how could that woman give up easily?
Successful peace talks? How easy is it to say?
"This ......"
Lin Zhao patted the shoulder of the seed master and said with a smile: "It's just a guess, but I have to guard against it, Uncle Yi should inform Uncle Ling as soon as possible, I will say hello from Fuzhou and Yanzhou, it's always good to be prepared." "I don't know if it's a kind of chant, and I don't want to be idle, if the Empress Dowager Liang is really angry, the northwest land will not be able to continue to be in the fire?
"Good!" Although it backfired. But the importance of the cultivation master is also saved, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
Lin Zhao turned around and glanced at Li Cheng, the meaning in his eyes was very obvious, it was to ask them to find out the news as soon as possible and corroborate it. In fact, at this moment, the Bright Moon Sect was almost all dispatched. is serving the great cause of Childe.
Alas! Lin Zhao sighed secretly in his heart, very helpless!
This time may be an opportunity for him, an opportunity created by himself unintentionally, if he seizes it, it will be very helpful to consolidate his position in the Western Army and the imperial court. But in this way, there will be wars, soldiers sacrificed, and the people suffered, and he did not want to see such a situation. But sometimes it's so helpless, what's the solution? One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither. The establishment of a dynasty is the accumulation of countless bones and blood, and Lin Zhao has a deep understanding at this moment.
People in the rivers and lakes, no! It should be said that people in the temple can't help themselves!
It doesn't matter so much. I can only continue to bargain tomorrow!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Did he really say that?" In Suizhou City, Empress Dowager Liang's expression was very serious, and after hearing Tuoba Shi's report, her face couldn't help but feel a little more angry.
Tuoba Shi didn't dare to come out, but some things still had to be reported truthfully, so he had to nod and say: "Queen Mother, Song made Lin Zhao really excessive." ”
"If you open your mouth, you want to Suizhou, it's really a shame that he said it!" Empress Dowager Liang seemed to be shocked by Lin Zhao's big breath, and she was very unhappy.
Caught in the middle is naturally Tuoba Stone, Lin Zhao has a tough attitude, what can he do? Originally, Empress Dowager Liang asked him to take the opportunity to propose that Western Xia wanted to return to the entire Suizhou. But he didn't expect Lin Zhao to speak first, which could be regarded as a preemptive, holding him back and not talking, Xixia's situation became very passive, and it would be very difficult for him to do it at the negotiation table.
He said that it was the words of the Minister of State, and he wanted to exchange gifts and give them to Suizhou. He also said that the prime minister spent a lot of money during the Song Dynasty, and we needed to bear it, and the cost was as much as three years. Tuoba Shi was cautious, although he knew that the Empress Dowager Liang was dissatisfied, but the envoys of the Song Dynasty still had to come one by one.
"It's interesting, it's really interesting, I didn't expect him to open his mouth wide!" Empress Dowager Liang was a little helpless, the entire Suizhou naturally couldn't give it, and the people of the Song Dynasty also knew this very well, since they were willing to negotiate peace, and were willing to exchange it for Liang Yiburi, they would never make such an rude request, so this is not the point, and it is not the real intention.
Empress Dowager Liang was very smart, and quickly judged that Lin Zhao's purpose was nothing more than to intimidate and increase his momentum! Maybe it's because of the Suizhou Rebellion, Tuoba Shi has recently become submissive, and he no longer has the same arrogance as before, and it is normal to be inferior to Lin Zhao in terms of aura. As for the real purpose, Lin Zhao would not mention the year for no reason, that is to say, the Song Dynasty wants to make up its mind on the year gift this time?
The Western Xia itself was very backward, the people's life was mainly nomadic, and agriculture and handicrafts were very underdeveloped, so the situation was really not good. Therefore, it was very important to obtain economic benefits from the Song Dynasty, and it became very important because of this.
The Tangut people sold their cattle, sheep, leather, etc., as well as the unique green salt of the Tangut Dynasty, to the Song Dynasty people, so as to obtain economic benefits in exchange for some daily necessities. The Western Xia can be said to have been in a state of dependence on the field, and the last time because of the hostility with the Song Dynasty, the field was closed for a long time.
In the end, it was really unbearable, and the Empress Dowager Liang surrendered to the Song Dynasty. As a result, it didn't take long for the two countries to clash again, although it was the war provoked by Li Fugui, and the fault was the first, but the Tangut people did not see much reason. In the final analysis, it is their qualifications and their own fault!
To be honest, Empress Dowager Liang didn't want the war to continue, after all, it would not be beneficial for Western Xia to go on like this. At present, there are already complaints in China, but what can be done? After suffering such a big loss, how can you swallow this breath easily? Moreover, they were defeated in such a gloomy way, and I don't know how many people in the Western Xia are waiting to see the jokes, which also has a great impact on their own status, how can they give up?
Fortunately, there is still a little support, in the past, the Song Dynasty gave a lot of annual gifts to the Western Xia, which was actually no different from the New Year's coins of the Liao State. It's just that the Western Xia is a minister, and his status is slightly lower, but he suffers a loss in name. In fact, there are many benefits, and the Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to spending money to buy peace.
This gift is a lot of economic benefits for Xixia, and it is precisely because of this that she has the confidence to persevere. But now, Lin Zhao seems to have seen this and directly considered doing something on the year. Three-year ...... Even if it is only three years, for the Song Dynasty, it may not save much money, but for the Western Xia, it is a large amount of income missing, and the future will be even more sad.
Empress Dowager Liang shook her head lightly, it seems that she really underestimated Lin Zhao before, this guy didn't make a move, and he grabbed the lifeblood of people as soon as he made a move.
What a hassle!
"You have to deal with him, you must not give in to the affairs of Suizhou, as for the matter of Suici, you can deal with him, but you have to wait for him to tell it himself, and then bargain with him, remember not to be too proactive. At the same time, you have to be strong, don't be shocked by him as a hairy boy. Empress Dowager Liang pondered for a long time and gave advice to Tuoba Shi.
"Yes!" Tuoba Shi nodded in agreement, in the face of Lin Zhao's aggressive momentum, he was not afraid, but it was inevitable that there would be some trouble to deal with. Especially when it comes to some more sensitive issues, it is always right to ask Empress Dowager Liang first, at least you have a spectrum in your heart.
Empress Dowager Liang got up and paced a few steps, and continued: "You must remember that the most important thing for you now is to stabilize Lin Zhao for me, and not to make him doubtful, do you understand?" ”
"Yes, the minister understands!" Tuoba Shi was submissive, and she could clearly feel the majesty in the Queen Mother's words.
"Understood? That's for the best! Empress Dowager Liang still did not forget to advise: "But be careful, it is best to be sure that there is no leakage, although he is young, he is as cunning as a fox, and he may be seen through if he is not careful." So be tough when you should be tough, be tough when you should be moderate, and you should grasp that degree yourself! Remember, all you have to do is bargain. ”
"Yes!" Tuoba Stone is helpless, it was originally a very simple peace talk, but now it has become complicated and difficult. What is the way, when you encounter such a queen mother and such an opponent, you are really helpless. As for where the peace talks will go, he can only shake his head slightly!
And the corners of Empress Dowager Liang's mouth suddenly became a little cold, what the ending is that others say, she has the final say!
Of course, sometimes wishful thinking can only affect the direction of things. But in the end, who has the final say, is not certain.
