Chen Shuda persuaded bitterly on the side: "Please calm your anger, Your Majesty will not be able to solve the problem if he is angry, it will only make the other party more proud." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Yuan also realized that he was a little out of shape, he sat down slowly, pondered for a moment, and then said to Li Jiancheng: "You are busy with government affairs, you don't have to ask about this matter, just let Chen Xiangguo deal with it!" ”

Li Yuan didn't want his eldest son to deal with this matter at all, but he was dissatisfied with his eldest son, so he wanted to use this matter to continue beating his eldest son, so on the one hand, he said that they could deal with it with full authority, and on the other hand, he expressed a completely different attitude towards Zhao Jingci.

But Li Yuan is a monarch after all, and when he vented his anger, he finally calmed down, this matter is deeply involved, and it is related to the fundamental interests of the Tang Dynasty, and he can no longer be ambiguous.

Li Yuan waved his hand again, "You stand down first!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Jiancheng nodded silently, bowed his head and retreated, and walked out of the imperial study, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, being by his father's side, it made him feel depressed, okay, he didn't care about this matter, but what should he do if Wang Junkuo was removed? Li Jiancheng felt sad in his heart, so he had to leave depressed.

There were only two people left in the imperial study, Li Yuan and Chen Shuda were left, Li Yuan did not speak, but stood in front of the window with his hands in front of the window and pondered for a long time, Chen Shuda did not say anything, he knew that the heart of the Son of Heaven was like a mirror, and from the perspective of the Son of Heaven, sometimes he could not understand, and many times silence was the best policy.

After a while, Li Yuan said slowly: "We can give up the spoils of Mayi County, and I can accept their plan, but we must have a bottom line, our bottom line is the safety of Taiyuan, Loufan County as a strategic buffer in Taiyuan, we must take it back, Lou Fan Pass is the throat of Lou Fan County, and we must also let the Sui army return it, after all, we occupied Lou Fan Pass first, in addition, Zhang Changxun has already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Hetao is our territory, and the Sui army must withdraw from the Hetao." ”

"But Your Majesty, the Sui army has captured the Hetao, Zhang Changxun fled, all his soldiers surrendered, and it is probably impossible to let the Sui army evacuate." Chen Shuda said in a low voice.

Li Yuan sneered, "There is nothing impossible in this world, if Zhang Xuan does not withdraw from the Hetao, then he will not want to take away a county or a county from Xiao Xuan's territory." ”

Chen Shuda was speechless, he realized that the Holy Lord wanted to tear up the agreement he had reached with the Northern Sui to divide Xiao Miao's territory.

.........

The two sides quickly reached an agreement on the plan for the division of the spoils, and the Tang Dynasty completely agreed to the plan of the Northern Sui, and the two sides sent a total of 130,000 troops, including 30,000 Tang troops, and all the spoils were distributed to the Tang Dynasty in a ratio of two to three.

However, the Tang side politely rejected Zhang Xuan's proposal to give each dead soldier an additional pension of 30 yuan, because the Sui army insisted on personally handing over the money to the families of each fallen soldier, and the Tang side could not accept it, but asked the Tang court to distribute it uniformly, but the Sui side insisted on distributing it by itself, and finally the two sides could not reach a consensus and gave up.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty also agreed to several proposals put forward by the Ziwei Pavilion of the Northern Sui Dynasty, and set up official offices in Chang'an and Zhongdu to each other, and sent their own representatives, and the two sides recognized the validity of each other's imperial examinations, and both sides agreed to liberalize private trade.

It can be said that the first two days of negotiations were spent in a friendly and pleasant atmosphere on both sides, and although the pension was not agreed, it did not affect the peaceful atmosphere.

But on the third day, the Tang side put forward a new proposal to redefine and merge the three northern counties, and the friendly atmosphere between the two sides began to fade rapidly, like the summer heat after autumn.

For the Tang Dynasty, once it is confirmed that Lou Fan Pass belongs to the Tang Dynasty, then the Lou Fan County in the south naturally belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and for the Northern Sui Dynasty, the Lou Fan Pass is the south gate of Mayi County and Yanmen County, once it belongs to the Tang Dynasty, it is equivalent to the opening of the gate of the two counties, and there is no room for concession in the Lou Fan Pass.

Although Zhang Xuan agreed in his instructions to return Lou Fan County to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for Xiao Miao's father and daughter, as a negotiation skill, Wen Yanbo would never agree easily, and he had to give up in the end to show the nobility of concessions.

"I think we need to repeat it again!"

Yu Wenshi pressed the table, stretched his neck like a cockfight, and said to Wen Yanbo with a red face: "We have defeated Liu Wuzhou and occupied Lou Fu Pass, this is an iron fact, you can't deny it, and you can't deny it, Lou Fu Pass is our territory, and it no longer belongs to Liu Wu Zhou, since the two sides want to talk about friendship and reconciliation, then at least you should return the territory of the Tang Dynasty that you forcibly occupied, and return Lou Fu Pass, this is your sincerity, otherwise we have nothing to talk about." ”

"Yuwen Shilang, please calm down, listen to me first."

Although Wen Yanbo's tone was gentle, the content of his words was very sharp, "Yuwen Shilang thinks that the land occupied by the Tang army is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, if this assertion is true, then we can also make the same request, we have occupied Pujin Pass, then Pujin Pass should be the territory of Northern Sui, we can return Lou Fu Pass to Tang Dynasty, then Tang Dynasty should also return Pujin Pass to us Northern Sui, does Yuwen Shilang think this plan is feasible?" ”

"You..... You're just messing around! ”

Yu Wenshi was so angry that his handsome face became distorted, and he slammed the table with his fist and shouted: "Pujin Pass is originally the territory of our Datang, what does it have to do with you? Lou Fu Pass was taken by us after 30,000 soldiers were killed, so what does it have to do with you? Forcibly occupied by you by force, since you want to reconcile, then we should return the Lou Fu Pass that belongs to us! ”

At this time, Chen Shuda stood up and waved his hand and said, "Please calm down, both of you!" Listen to me. ”

Since Chen Shuda was about to come forward to make a statement, Yu Wenshi had to restrain his anger, turned his head to look at the roof, his chest rose and fell violently, Wen Yanbo was much better than him, and said with a smile: "Chen Xiangguo, please speak!" ”

Chen Shuda said earnestly: "Negotiating like you, even if your voice overpowers the other party, what's the use?" Even if there is an advantage in reason, will the other side give in? Negotiation is not about buying vegetables, it is not about arguing with three gingers and two garlic to make the other party make concessions, negotiation is a compromise, and both sides must show sincerity, let me talk to Wen Shilang a few words! ”

Chen Shuda drove Yu Wenshi aside and sat on the seat of the envoy, he smiled slightly: "Wen Shilang, Lou Fan County and Lou Fan Pass are the strategic buffer of Taiyuan, which is very important to us, I don't know what conditions we need to come up with, and your dynasty is willing to promise to return Lou Fan Pass and Lou Fan County to us?" ”

Wen Yanbo also nodded, "Chen Xiangguo's pragmatic attitude is worthy of appreciation, but Lou Fan Pass is the southern gate of Mayi County and Yanmen County, even if you put me and Ling Senjun in prison, My Royal Highness will not give in, but Lou Fan County may have room for negotiation." ”

Wen Yanbo told the other party very frankly this time, don't think about Lou Fuguan, if you want Lou Fujun, then you can talk about it.

Chen Shuda was so old and spicy, he immediately understood the deep meaning of Wen Yanbo's words, at this time, Yu Wenshi on the side was about to refute, but was stopped by Chen Shuda with a wave of his hand, and he smiled at Wen Yanbo: "Then let's talk about Lou Fu County first!" ”

This is Chen Shuda's pragmatism, instead of fishing for the moon in the water, it is better to pick flowers in front of the window, get the goals that can be achieved first, and then talk about Lou Fuguan,

At this time, the deputy envoy Ling Jing said: "Our hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought with the Turkic cavalry in Loufan County, and finally annihilated the Turkic army, and the loyal souls of tens of thousands of soldiers were buried in Loufan County, the soldiers of the Sui army cherished this land very much, but His Royal Highness the King of Qi out of respect for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to fight against the Turks, and also out of remembrance of the 10,000 Tang soldiers who died in battle, so we authorized us to discuss the ownership of Loufan County to show his sincerity, but we also have conditions." ”

Anyone can say the words of the glossy face, Chen Shuda nodded with a smile politely, but he paid more attention to Ling Jing's last sentence, he stroked his beard and smiled: "King Qi has benevolence and righteousness, which is admirable, and we are also willing to exchange sincerity for your sincerity, I don't know what the conditions mean?" ”

"The conditions are very simple, I hope that your country will hand over Xiao Miao's father and daughter to us."

"This ........"

Chen Shuda was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to put forward such a condition, this condition is not easy for him to answer!

After pondering for a long time, Chen Shuda said slowly: "I really don't have the right to decide this condition, so be it!" I will go back and ask the Holy One, and if the Holy One agrees, then we can come to an agreement, and I would like to know, what other conditions do you have? ”

Ling Jing shook his head, "In exchange for this one condition, there are no other conditions, but I need to remind Chen Xiangguo that this is a condition with no room for substitution, if you refuse to accept it, then Loufan County can no longer negotiate." ”

Chen Shuda said lightly: "I understand, I will reply to you tomorrow on this matter, it's not too early, let's stop here today!" ”

The Sui envoys got up one after another, and everyone saluted each other, and they took their leave. (To be continued.) )
