Chapter 2050 Negotiations

The envoy was very embarrassed, and he didn't understand what Chen Sheng meant, and hurriedly asked Chen Sheng what he meant by this.

Chen Sheng didn't go around in circles, and directly asked people to take out the contract agreed between Meng Qingshan and him and send it to the messenger.

The envoy glanced at it, and his face changed greatly.

It turned out that although Meng Heilong was willing to negotiate with Qin Jun, the contract brought by the envoy was too cold compared to what Meng Qingshan had already reached with Chen Sheng. Not to mention anything else, the war reparations alone are only 50,000 gold. It's just a fraction of the compensation given by Meng Qingshan.

This can't completely say that Meng Heilong is stingy. was captured and returned, everything that originally belonged to him fell into Meng Qingshan's pocket, compared to financial resources, he was not Meng Qingshan's opponent at all. The 50,000 gold is still a share of the money made up by the people, and I really can't take out any more.

Of course, Meng Heilong also has more places than Meng Qingshan, such as his willingness to sacrifice Yangshan Pass to the Qin army, cede part of the adjacent Fujian and Changsha counties to the Qin state, and pay tribute to the Qin emperor every year. He also promised that if Qin could stand by and watch the war in Nanyue, after Meng Heilong re-became the king of Nanyue, he would assist the Qin army in crusading against the Yue people in Xiouyue as a vassal state.

If it is replaced by Ren Huan, he may be moved by Meng Heilong's peace agreement. Actual control of a pass is more attractive than a million gold. But Chen Sheng knew that the contract between the two sides, except for the real war reparations, could not be implemented in detail. Whether it is Meng Heilong or Meng Qingshan, once they win the civil war, the first thing they think of is not to fulfill the peace treaty signed with the Qin army, but to immediately tear up the peace treaty and start a war with the Qin army.

And Qin Jun is even less so. The civil strife in South Vietnam was actually deliberately done by Chen Sheng, and even if South Vietnam really wanted to compromise and seek perfection, he was not very happy.

Seeing Chen Sheng's unkind face, the South Vietnamese envoy was worried in his heart, and asked with difficulty: "What does the general think can be?" ”

A faint smile appeared on Chen Sheng's face. There is a nail like Tian Peng by Meng Heilong's side. Where is Meng Heilong's bottom line in negotiation, he has already made it clear. In fact, Chen Sheng knew better that the envoy did not come with a peace treaty, and if Chen Sheng did not agree with it, then the envoy would present a second peace treaty. It's just that Chen Sheng doesn't have much patience to play mental games with the messenger, and he doesn't have much time. Immediately put forward his own conditions.

Chen Sheng's conditions were just right, some places were a little beyond Meng Heilong's bottom line, but they were within the acceptable range, and some conditions were relatively relaxed, so that the envoy could easily agree.

Only on one point of disagreement have the two not yet agreed. That is Chen Sheng's determination that once the southern army signs a peace treaty, the defenders of Yangshan Pass must retreat, give way to the pass, and let the Qin army take over.

Chen Sheng's insistence made the envoy very passive. In order to defend Yangshan Pass, the South Vietnamese soldiers have been fighting bloodily here for more than a year, suffering heavy casualties and inflicting great trauma on the Qin army. Because of the existence of this pass, the hinterland of South Vietnam was not invaded by the Qin army. However, in order to exchange for the neutrality of the Qin army, he gave Yangshan Pass to the Qin people like this, how could the generals in the army agree?

Actually, that's not even the worst of it. In fact, the peace treaty could not form a real binding force on the Qin army at all. After the Qin army took over the pass, it could launch an attack from behind Meng Heilong, and once this happened, South Vietnam would not exist!

What kind of child's play is it to rise and fall the family and the country, and exist on a contract that cannot bind the other party at all? The messenger did not dare to sign the peace treaty. Although it is said that the king's bottom line has included the demand for unconditional withdrawal from Yangshan Pass.

The envoy was quite familiar with the history of the Central Plains, he quoted scriptures, argued with reason, and quoted the vassal states including the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, saying that there had never been such a barbaric practice as Chen Sheng. Trying to persuade Chen Sheng to postpone the implementation of this most demanding clause. But Chen Sheng didn't want to reason with the envoy at all, but smiled lightly: "The envoy is very eloquent, and General Ben also wants to continue to listen to you." However, due to the limited time, the envoys of King Meng Qingshan have been waiting for me outside for a long time, and they want the Qin army to send troops and fight together. said that after defeating his father, he not only ceded Yangshan Pass and even Hengpu Pass, but also ceded the Qin State. ”

The messenger shuddered. Seeing the peace conditions that Meng Qingshan gave to the Qin State, he knew that there was no lower limit to this person's discipline. In order to win the war, he led the Qin army to attack his father, and he did it!

"General, wait!" The envoy let out a long sigh and said, "Hengpu Pass! The peace treaty is certain, and the Qin army does not move. My South Vietnam will immediately be a vassal, and all the defenders of Hengpu Pass will immediately retreat, how about it? At this point, the messenger's voice trembled. Whether it was in the vassal states of the Central Plains or South Vietnam, the envoys could not be happy when they lost their power and humiliated the country.

Chen Sheng smiled faintly. "Hengpu Pass is Hengpu Pass!" Chen Sheng agreed very happily. "This messenger is a talent!" Chen Sheng secretly praised in his heart. Outside Yangshan Pass, the Qin army is the commander of General Ren Huan, the elite of the Qin army, once the Yangshan Pass is occupied, 100,000 Qin troops will pour into South Vietnam like a tide at any time. Although Hengpu Pass is also a natural risk. But the main general is Zhao Tuo, who is not a few years older than Chen Sheng. The envoy believed that although South Vietnam would still suffer a loss by ceding Hengpu Pass, it would be the lesser of two evils.

But when Chen Sheng knew the envoy's good intentions, he also secretly ridiculed, the envoy must not know Zhao Tuo. When Chen Sheng was still unknown, Zhao Tuo had already led the Qin army all the way to attack Dongou fiercely, and Minzhong County was actually defeated by Zhao Tuo. It's just that Chen Sheng's performance was too violent, and he led hundreds of people to shake the king of Minyue to death, covering up Zhao Tuo's brilliance a lot. With the command of tens of thousands of people, Chen Sheng can still command and deploy properly if he is barely able to command it now, but if there is an army of more than 100,000 people, Chen Sheng's command may not be as skilled as Zhao Tuo's side. Chen Sheng believed that if Zhao Tuo took over Hengpu Pass, it would not be long before the 100,000 Qin troops guarding the pass would rush into the land of Lingnan like a flood!

"Then the envoy from Meng Qingshan's side...... "The envoy is also very cunning. He never wanted to see Chen Sheng still have dealings with his enemies when he signed a peace treaty with him.

Chen Sheng smiled faintly: "Well, I'll arrest him and let you take him back to the King of Nanyue to deal with, what do you think?" Meng Qingshan is a rebel of your South Vietnam, and it is most appropriate for his envoy to be dealt with by you. ”

"General Xie!" Feeling the change in Chen Sheng's title, and also feeling Chen Sheng's sincerity, the messenger with a grateful face.
