The generals admired and couldn't understand Li Shan's remarks, if they didn't kill the enemy, why should they be integrated? But since Li Shan has an order, they should obey it.

"You send a message to Heijo Kyo that I want to negotiate with Emperor Jimmu." Li Shan said another bombshell.

"Negotiations? Li Shan actually wants to negotiate with us? How do you say? Emperor Jimmu asked.

The cabinet minister said: "Since we are going to negotiate, it is a good thing for us that we will not use swords during this time." First of all, it will take time for the envoys to go to the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, we will need more time to prepare our troops for war. ”

"Then talk to him, where is the place of negotiation?"

"As far as the minister can see, it is best to be on a plain outside Osaka City, and neither side needs to enter the other's sphere of influence."

"Okay, you just go and reply to them, and I will personally negotiate with Li Shan in ten days. There are kings on both sides, and that's what matches. ”

Ten days later,

Emperor Jimmu came to the negotiation site early, and the two thousand people behind him were waiting for him, if he was ambushed at this time, it would be over.

However, Li Shan didn't have this idea, and this was a plain, so it was not easy to ambush the soldiers. At three o'clock in the morning, Li Shancai slowly came to the negotiation site with a sigh of relief, with only a dozen entourages behind him.

This surprised Emperor Jimmu, he didn't expect Li Shan to be so bold.

"You're Emperor Jimmu?" Li Shan sat down with a proud face and asked.

Emperor Shenmu is neither humble nor arrogant, after all, he is also the lord of a country, and his momentum is still there, and he said: "Exactly, I have long heard that Li Shan is brave and knows how to make dangerous moves, but I didn't expect that this time I only brought a dozen entourages, aren't you afraid that there will be no return?" As he spoke, the soldiers behind him were ready to move.

Li Shan laughed and said, "My dozen or so followers may become thousands of elite soldiers, who knows?" It's sad that people always see what they see in front of them and can't see the facts hidden behind them. ”

Li Shan was calm and unhurried, sitting on the couch and drinking, but Emperor Jimmu couldn't figure out the details of Li Shan for a while, so he didn't dare to act rashly. Carefully observing Li Shan's every move, he said, "Say, what do you want to talk about?" ”

"It's very simple, your army is in arrears, and I'm here to ask for debts. Bring me ten million taels. Li Shan beckoned to Emperor Jimmu,

Emperor Jimmu was furious and said, "You are completely unfounded, and you sit on the ground and raise the price. We have paid for more than 1 million of your ordnance in total, where did we get 10 million taels of silver? ”

Li Shan smiled: "You must have read it wrong, our receipt clearly says one million taels of gold, but you treat it as silver, that's not our problem." Li Shan took the receipt out of his sleeve and threw it to Emperor Jimmu.

When Emperor Jimmu saw it, it was clearly a forged receipt, and it was really a crime that he wanted to add. The angry Emperor Jimmu directly tore the note to shreds, and said angrily: "Since this is the case, there is no arrogance to talk about, just rely on strength to speak." ”

The cabinet ministers on the side kept glancing at Emperor Jimmu and signaling him not to be impulsive. Emperor Jimmu is also a violent temper, but he is not stupid, and he knows that he really can't fight at this time. But since Li Shan asked for negotiations, then Li Shan must also have a reason not to fight, so he is not worried.

Li Shandao: "Why is Emperor Shenmu so anxious, this talk still has to be discussed, are you sure that you can beat me if you really fight?" I'll tell you, I'm sure I'll be able to wipe out Japan within a month. If you really want to fight, no matter where you hide, I can find you out by digging three feet into the ground, and hang your neck and head on the gate. ”

Although Li Shan said this with a smile, Emperor Jimmu felt inexplicably cold in his heart. He felt that what Li Shan said was not a joke, as if he was just saying an established fact, calm but irrefutable.

Emperor Shenmu sat down unconsciously, and said inwardly: "Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about your conditions." ”

"Osaka, Kobe, Kumamoto, and the areas south of the three cities, within ten years, the control of the whole will be given to me Dali, and this income should be used to offset your military spending. What do you think? Isn't it a good deal? ”

Emperor Jimmu gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible, that's our territory, how can it be handed over to you for jurisdiction?" ”

Li Shandao: "The territory is still yours, we recognize that this is Japan's territory, but the ownership is temporarily ours, and the Dali army will withdraw from Japan after ten years and will never invade again." ”

"No, a year at most." Jimmu Emperor Road.

Li Shan shook his head and said, "I thought you were a smart person, it seems that you really don't know how to lift, do you really think that I really need to negotiate with you?" Since you can't recognize reality, then I'll call you until you recognize reality, and if you can't recognize reality all the time, I don't think you need to be the emperor. ”

When did Emperor Jimmu suffer such an insult, he would not be the emperor if he could endure it, and the mud bodhisattva still had three points of rusticism. Just as he was about to rise up in anger, the cabinet minister hurriedly whispered a few words in Emperor Jimmu's ear, and Emperor Jimmu had rushed to his lips, but he held back vividly, and said, "It can only be five years at most, not more." ”

Li Shan smiled: "Five years? It's okay, but the Japanese government is paying 100,000 silver a year for nosebleeds. ”

"You? Don't deceive people too much. If I'm afraid that you won't succeed, our samurai can't be insulted like this even if they die, and you insult me too much. Emperor Jimmu stood up and waved his hand, and his sergeants shouted together, the sword was unsheathed.

Li Shandao: "Hehe, I told you, although I have brought these dozen people, maybe these dozen people may conjure thousands of elite soldiers." Saying that, Li Shan snapped his fingers at the back, and Ah San immediately took out a signal flare from his arms and sent it out.

Immediately, a cannonball exploded less than thirty meters from Li Shan and Emperor Jimmu's side, and the smoke and flames of the explosion almost spread in front of Li Shan, and the scum of the explosion fell on Emperor Jimmu's body.

Li Shan said calmly: "If you want to hunt me down, you can enter the range of my artillery and become cannon fodder." ”

Emperor Shenmu sat down dejectedly, and now he saw clearly that Li Shan's fearlessness was not pretended, but his strength was no longer comparable to them. This kind of artillery, whether it is the accuracy, range or power of the strike, has far exceeded his imagination. For the first time, Emperor Jimmu knew that he had no ability to resist at all.

"For five years, plus a military salary of 100,000 taels of silver per year, we agreed." Emperor Jimmu said dejectedly.

Li Shan smiled and said, "Very good, Emperor Jimmu, congratulations, you have the opportunity to continue to be emperor." (To be continued.) )
