- The lights in the big tent were bright, a pot of wine and a few dishes were dish, Zhao Zongji and Zhao Bian sat opposite each other, and Chen Ke sat down horizontally and poured wine for them.

Zhao Bian held the wine cup, and said with a sip: "Zhong Fang, it's not me who said you, it's too picky, you don't take out the fairy dew, let us drink horse urine all day long......"

"What's the old man's words," Chen Ke said with a smile: "Today's letter from home was brought by the way, isn't this just taken out." ”

"That's pretty much it." After a few glasses of wine, Zhao's father-in-law was red-faced, and the conversation box was opened: "Actually, if you want me to say, 500,000 taels, they will know it when they know it, this is really not a thing......

"How?"

"At first, I was shocked, but when the shock was over, maybe it was none of my business, but I quickly figured it out." Zhao Bian said: "The Khitans know the bottom line of the imperial court, which is actually not a bad thing, because there are only two outcomes - either they accept it or they don't accept it. If you don't accept it, knowing it means not knowing. If you accept it, on the whole, even if we are basically successful, we are very close to your goal. ”

Seeing that the two still didn't understand, after a pause, he laughed and said: "The difference of 300,000 taels is very big on the New Year's coin; But what if it's somewhere else? It's just a year's tax for a medium-sized county, can Liao take this money into account? ”

Chen Ke and Zhao Zongji glanced at each other, patted their heads together and said, "Yes, yes, it's the tip of the horns." ”

"So, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." Zhao Bian is right to be able to teach these two extraordinary young people. felt very excited: "You care about the 300,000 taels, but the Liao State doesn't care." Anyway, all they want is the name of the winner. As for the increase of two hundred thousand and five hundred thousand. It makes no difference! He said and laughed: "And looking at the attitude of the Liao people, it is clear that they have accepted the upper limit of 500,000, so will it be far from 200,000?" ”

"Takami, Takami!" The two walked out of their obsession, and naturally their eyes suddenly opened up. nodded again and again: "But speaking of which, these 300,000 taels of Liao people should still be very concerned...... "After all, if you can get the sum of the previous two at once, you have a lot of face!"

"Doubly faced?" Zhao Bian was amused by their fresh words: "Yes, but it's just the difference between 'having face' and 'doubling face'." It's a matter of degree, not of principle, so it's less tricky. ”

"Hmm." The two nodded, "You keep talking about what we should do?" ”

"Want to know?" The old gentleman was already a little drunk, and said with a smile: "It's full." ”

"Full on full." Chen Ke hurriedly poured wine for Zhao Bian.

"Negotiation, like war, requires the art of war." Zhao Bian Cai said with a smile: "I'll tell you today, the ultimate strategy of negotiation - don't talk about it!" ”

"Don't talk about it?"

"Yes, don't talk about it!" Zhao Bian nodded and said, "When I was in Mizhou, there was a prison riot. At that time, I refused to listen to any requests from the prisoners until they released the jailer they had taken hostage. This total refusal to talk to the prisoner is tantamount to telling the public. I will definitely not budge. It's a very credible threat to opponents, especially when they're in their prime, and it can help them calm down. ”

"The Liao people now think that they have the chance to win, thinking that we will definitely give in, and if we continue to talk about it at this time, we will definitely be angry, and the effect will not be good." Zhao Bian continued: "We might as well terminate the negotiations and not bargain with them." Let the opponent understand. There's nothing to talk about about here. Either it collapses, or accept our price! ”

"What if...... Collapsed? Zhao Zongji asked.

"It's not going to collapse." Zhao Bian said with a smile: "Their emperor will come back in three days, and it will not be appropriate to talk about it when the time comes, and it will seem that they are incompetent." So in any case, they will give the emperor an explanation.........,

"Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy." Chen Ke offered it and said with a smile: "Let's do it!" ”

"That's it, come, do!" Zhao Zongji was in a good mood, raised his glass and smiled.

"!"

"!"

The three of them had a good time and drank freely...... This is a high degree of wine! As soon as Old Master Zhao was happy, he drank it as sour wine, and after a few laps, he sang it in the Wu Yin of his hometown. sang Li He's 'Thirteen Songs of the South Garden':

'Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures? Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis, you will be a marquis......

It seems that in the hearts of every Song person, there is a pain of Yanyun, and along the way, the touch of Old Master Zhao should not be small......

After singing the song, the old gentleman got under the table.

Chen Ke and Zhao Zongji helped the old gentleman back to the tent and lay down, tiptoed out, then looked at each other and smiled, and said secretly: "This old gentleman, this can be regarded as a winner, right?" ’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, according to the plan, he casually sent someone over to inform the other party, with a maximum increase of 200,000 taels, and no more than one or two will not work. Either agree, or finish, wait for the emperor of the Northern Dynasty to come back, say goodbye to the south, and return to the south.

Xiao Feng sent someone to the protocol tent to visit, and sure enough, he found that Song was packing up, which didn't seem to be a fake. Hurry up and report to the imperial uncle.

"So hard?" Yelu Chongyuan frowned and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty will return in three days, and there will definitely be an explanation at that time," Xiao Feng said: "The other party is determined not to talk about it, so we can only either agree or change people to talk." ”

Isn't that nonsense...... Yelu Chongyuan glared at him angrily and said, "Change people to talk? came and went, and it was another half a year. Dragging, dripping, and making people laugh off their big teeth. ”

Yelu Chongyuan was in a very bad mood, and the father and son had carefully planned a big drama, hoping to take the opportunity to really master the military power. In fact, the people of the Song Dynasty were already very cooperative, they not only had a tough attitude, but also dug ditches and increased troops on the border like frightened rabbits. In the expectation of the father and son, it was enough for the Song Dynasty to have these reactions.

Who knows how to count it, but not to himself. This Great Liao Dynasty is really not ancient...... Instead of supporting themselves, those princes and nobles blamed themselves for having nothing to do. In fact, when he saw the envoy of the Song Dynasty in the camp, being regarded as a guest and becoming the brightest star of the Liao Dynasty, he knew that he had miscalculated and underestimated the degree of depravity of the clansmen.

It's rotten at all, and naturally there will be no results...... It's just that Yelu Chongyuan doesn't understand, why can the Song people, who are thousands of miles away, see it earlier than themselves, so that they have no fear and let themselves be deflated everywhere?

'Masters, there are masters in the Southern Dynasty...... Yelu Chongyuan can only explain it like this.

"That'...... Promise them? Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Xiao Feng thought that the imperial uncle was difficult to speak.

"Shame on you......" Yelu Chongyuan touched the bald scoop on the top of his head, and said in his heart, as soon as someone picks a son on his side, I will give in here, doesn't it look very weak? Then he said: "I can't agree to this matter, wait until the emperor comes back, listen to the holy judgment......

"Yes." Xiao Feng replied softly, secretly scolding this old fox in his heart, and he was going to let His Majesty show his eyes again...... In fact, in the past few years, Yelu Hongji's notorious reputation for not doing his job is mostly due to the emperor's uncle and father. Xiao Feng can see it clearly, it's just a matter of the Heavenly Family, and he really shouldn't talk too much about his subordinates.

So the negotiations ended completely, and both sides waited for the return of the young Yelu Hongji. On Chen Ke's side, there are all kinds of ugly women sleeping every night, and even men come over, which is simply chaotic. Even Zhao Zongji looked down on it, and asked him if he had offended anyone, why did he bury you so much?

In addition to a wry smile, what other expression can Chen Ke have? Naturally, the woman that night has never been able to find her. …,

Three days later, the emperor's Luan drove back on time, and hundreds of officials went out twenty miles to greet him, as a country of brothers, the Song envoys were naturally among them.

Yelu Hongji took the opportunity to hunt outside for more than a month this time, and he had a very good time, so his mood was quite bright. Seeing the hundreds of officials saluting him, he laughed and said, "Get up, you've worked hard for a while!" ”

Baiguan Xie En got up, Yelu Hongji looked left and right, and said strangely: "Why didn't the queen come?" ”

"The queen's phoenix body ......is slightly sick," one of the concubines replied, "so I can't go out to greet Your Majesty." ”

"Well, let me say, she just lacks exercise," Yelu Hongji sighed and said with a smile: "Go out with me more on horseback riding, hunting, and make sure that all diseases are not invaded!" ”

The hundred officials sighed in their hearts: 'This mallet ......'

As he spoke, the Emperor came to the Golden Dome and sat down, and the Imperial Uncle sat beside him. The princes and nobles below him sat at the foot of the steps.

Sitting cross-legged on the soft yellow cushion, Yeluhonki felt very uncomfortable, he was still used to the hard saddle. But when you come back, you have to make a show, so that those courtiers are always noisy. He thought about it for a while, and felt that he should ask about the negotiation first, after all, it was an excuse for himself to go out, and now he had to round it up.

"Returning to Your Majesty." Xiao Feng, who was sitting on the outside of the second row, said: "The Southern Dynasty resolutely does not agree to cede the land, and only agrees to increase the currency to compensate our dynasty." ”

"Don't give the land......" Yelu Hongji was a little disappointed, but soon said as if nothing happened: "If you don't give it, forget it." The widow asked, the land of the ten counties is only a projectile, and it is outside the pass, and it is not easy to defend. For the sake of this little land, it is not worth falling out with the Southern Dynasty. ”

And the hearts of the people said, "Don't you understand this?" However, they all knew that the emperor was actually very smart, but he didn't care about his business, and he was too young to be gullible......

"Then increase the coins?" Yelu Chongyuan said loudly.

"That's it, increase coins!" Yeluhongki asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Well, that's not over yet." His uncle almost didn't choke to death, and said helplessly: "At present, there is still a big gap in terms of amount." ”――
