Chapter 148: A Hammer Deal (I)

Liu Fan looked at Shu Lu with a smile, he didn't speak for a long time, Shu Lu was uncomfortable by Liu Fan, and after a while, Shu Lu couldn't help but say, "Lord Hou,...... Liu Houye! ”

Liu Fan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't blame the national teacher, Ben Hou was just thinking about the conditions you proposed." Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Seeing that Liu Fan did not explicitly refuse this time, Shu Lu couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, it seems that the terms mentioned this time are somewhat reliable.

Shu Lu smiled: "I don't know how Lord Hou thought about it?" ”

Liu Fan smiled and said: "Master Guoshi, your clause is still not enough, well, far from enough......"

Shu Lu hurriedly said: "I don't know what else Lord Hou wants?" You can say it, and let's discuss it together. ”

Liu Fan shook his head, sighed and said, "Master Guoshi, it seems that you have been traveling in our Great Chu for a long time, and you have lost the boldness that the Khitan people should have." ”

Shulu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Liu Fan didn't give him a chance, and continued: "Ben Hou will make an analogy with you, for example, Ben Hou robbed your wife......

Shulu raised his eyebrows, and then he was about to get angry, Liu Fan hurriedly said: "For example, it's just an analogy, Mrs. Ling must be older than her mother, Ben Hou is not interested in dropping at all, this Lord Liu behind Ben Hou may like this tune more......" Liu Qiaode glared at Liu Fan when he heard this.

"It's like saying, Ben Hou robbed your wife, and then slept with her for a few years, or even more than ten years, one day Ben Hou returned her to you, you say you should thank Ben Hou for his generosity? Or just smoke Ben Hou with a big mouth? ”

Shu Lu said angrily: "I, the Khitan people, regard the hatred of taking my wife as not sharing the sky, and I will not cut the person who took my wife with a thousand knives, and I will never give up!" ”

Liu Fan patted his thigh and said: "That's right, so you said that you returned the women and children of the Chu Dynasty, Ben Hou felt that this could not be regarded as a clause at all, this is what you grassland people should do, my Da Chu did not send troops to fight you, it is enough to show our benevolence, our Da Chu does not care about your Khitan, but you listed it in the terms of diplomatic relations between the two countries, this really makes Ben Hou feel ridiculous, Ben Hou will make another analogy, for example, Ben Hou went to dig your family's ancestral grave ......"

Shulu was about to get angry again, Liu Fan hurriedly smiled and said: "For example, let's make an analogy, don't you always be like this, how can you understand the truth of this matter if you don't make an analogy?" - For example, Ben Hou dug up your family's ancestral grave and stole all the corpses of your grandfather, grandfather, father, and mother, and then Ben Hou told you again, Ben Hou returned all these corpses to you, don't you hurry up and thank Ben Hou?! ――Master National Teacher, I wonder if you are happy when you hear this? ”

Shu Lu was silent when he heard this, he probably understood what Liu Fan meant.

Seeing that Shu Lu didn't speak, Liu Fan smiled, and continued: "So, Master Guoshi, the four points you just mentioned are actually only three, and one of them still asks my Chu Dynasty to send troops to help you eliminate the Turks. The release of women, children and laborers, in Ben Hou's view, can not be regarded as a condition at all, but the sincerity that your country wants to show in advance to form an alliance with our Chu Dynasty. ”

Shu Lu thought about it and nodded silently, in order to achieve the goal of forming an alliance, he could only let Liu Fan mess around.

Liu Fan was overjoyed when he saw Shulu nodding, and patted him on the shoulder with relief: "Yes, the national teacher is well aware of righteousness, and it seems that the grassland people are not completely arrogant and unreasonable." -- The National Teacher is an obvious alternative teaching material among the grassland people......"

Shu Lu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Lord Hou, let's continue to talk, don't say these irrelevant words, okay?" ”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "Ben Hou is just praising you, let's go on and say, the conditions you just mentioned, our Chu Dynasty has only two benefits, one is five million taels of silver, and the other is a promise never to infringe." As for this never violation, in fact, it is just a polite remark, Ben Hou is straightforward, don't be unhappy when he said, if we work together to destroy the Turks, do you think it is possible that your Khitans will never invade my Chu Dynasty? Even the National Teacher himself doesn't believe this, right? So, the never-aggression and the like are really just. ”

Liu Fan glanced at Shu Lu with a smile, and saw that he frowned and was silent, obviously acquiescing.

Liu Fan continued: "So the terms you mentioned, in the eyes of Ben Hou, are actually only five million taels of silver, and ask my Chu Dynasty to send troops to help you fight the Khitan war." Ben Hou is right to say that, right?! ”

Shu Lu frowned, always feeling that Liu Fan's words were not quite right, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so he had to be silent and didn't say anything when he heard the words.

Liu Fan smiled and said: "You Khitan people are the bosses, and you are willing to pay five million taels of silver, but my Chu Dynasty has become a part-time worker, exterminating the Turks - my Great Chu must at least send 100,000 troops to help the Khitan fight, isn't it interesting?!" Then Ben Hou will make an analogy with you......"

Hearing this, Shu Lu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Hou, you say it directly, the old man can understand it, and there is no need to make any more analogies." "Liu Fan's analogy, either robbing his wife or digging his ancestral grave, Shulu is really afraid of Liu Fan's analogy.

Liu Fan looked at Shu Lu, blinked, and said bewildermently: "Are you sure you don't want to make an analogy?" Ben Hou's analogy is very apt......"

Shu Lu shook his head resolutely and said, "Lord Hou said it directly, and the old man can understand it." ”

Liu Fan pursed his lips: "You grassland people often say something like the sun in the sky, and something like a goshawk, saying a metaphor for flying all over the sky, how come you get to Benhou, but you can't even use an analogy?!" It's a real loss to negotiate with you......"

Shu Lu almost didn't vomit blood when he heard this: Are you still suffering? Wouldn't that old man have to wipe his neck with a knife!

Liu Fan continued: "Master Guoshi, you paid five million taels of silver to invite me to send troops from the Chu Dynasty, with all due respect, I'm afraid this is not very appropriate, right?" Even if I help you destroy the Turks, you will fight me again when you come back, so won't you rob this silver again? Besides, do I want military expenses for the Chu Dynasty to send troops? Five million taels of silver, 100,000 soldiers, each of them can only share fifty taels of silver, and horses, weapons, military pay, medicine, war death pensions, support for orphans...... Master Guoshi, have you calculated this account? Do you think five million taels of silver is enough? With my Chu Dynasty to help you finish this battle, you haven't got any benefits, we have to post the book ourselves, and a fool won't do it. ”

Shu Lu's eyes were straight, his mouth was full of bitterness, he didn't expect that he would study and discuss with the Khitan officials in the post house all night, and the four terms he proposed were actually overturned by the young man in front of him, who was only twenty years old, in just a few words...... And listening to his tone, these four clauses seem to be worthless, which makes Shulu feel deeply frustrated.

Licking his dry lips, Shu Lu spoke: "Lord Hou, the old man thinks, it is better to ask your country to put forward conditions, otherwise if this continues, the old man will mention one, and you will deny one, and our negotiations will be deadlocked." ”

Liu Fan smiled and said: "The National Teacher has to think about it, once Benhou puts forward the conditions, it will be a one-shot deal, and there will be no counteroffer." ”

Shu Lu gritted his teeth and insisted: "Lord Hou, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, as for whether it is suitable or not, please ask Lord Hou Ye to bring it up, and then we will discuss it in detail!" ”

Liu Fan glanced at Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi, Old Man Liu closed his eyes and was silent, like an old monk in a trance, while Chu Yi was expressionless, with a cool face, his eyes were looking straight ahead, I don't know if he was in a daze or thinking about something...... These two people are accompanying the negotiations, and this behavior is inevitably too unprofessional, right?! This is completely using himself as an ornament, and at this time, he didn't know how to accommodate the marquis, Liu Fan muttered a few words in his heart.
