Chapter 268: Qin Guan, pay back the money

Hearing the conditions put forward by Zhao State, the faces of many Liao officials became ugly, they knew that if the mutual market was opened and completely free trade, it would definitely be more beneficial to Zhao State, and the restriction on the export of horses was originally a national policy formulated to restrict Zhao State from developing cavalry, and this article could not be easily agreed.

But this is not over, Lu Sheng continued to read:

"Fifth, ask Liao to pay 10 million yuan in compensation."

"Sixth, return the sixteen states of Yanyun to Zhao State, and in the future, Zhao and Liao will be bounded by the Great Wall, and the Great Wall will be owned by Zhao State."

"Smack!"

Yelu Weizhen's face was full of anger, he slapped the table and stood up, and said angrily: "Impossible, it is impossible for Liao to agree to such conditions, it seems that Zhao Guo has no sincerity for peace talks, if so, we might as well continue to fight, you know, my 400,000 army of Da Liao is still in Zhao State at this moment." ”

The other Liao people were also full of anger.

Yelu Weizhen threw a document in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "This is the condition of our Liao State, Zhao Envoy take it back and take a look, and this is the end of today." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, and the other Liao officials also got up and left.

Yelu Qingri got up, glared at Qin Guan fiercely, and turned to leave with a cold snort.

Seeing that the people of the Liao State Peace Negotiation Group were gone, Lu Sheng put down the paperwork in his hand with some embarrassment, and said to Qin Guan with a bitter face: "Scholar Qin, I said that it would anger the people of Liao, you see what to do now." ”

"In case the other side is provoked to negotiate and the two sides start a war again, this is our responsibility."

Qin Guan smiled faintly and said: "The Liao people are angry, and those words are just scareless, if they really want to continue the war, they will not leave their peace talks document before leaving." ”

Qin Guan took the document left by the Liao people, on which were written the conditions for peace talks, the conditions on it were not much, and the initial conditions of the previous Zhao State were almost the same, it was good to become brothers, the two sides returned to the original national border, continued to maintain the original situation, as if nothing had happened, and continued to open border trade and other clouds.

The only extra condition was to ask Qin Guan to return the robbed money.

Seeing that the Liao State solemnly wrote this article, Lu Sheng asked curiously: "Scholar Qin, how much money have you robbed the Liao people of the Liao State to make them so obsessed." ”

Qin Guan said very calmly: "Hehe, it's not much, it's just that the people of Liao are too small." ”

Everyone said, it's strange to believe you, if there is less, the Liao people will attach so much importance to it.

Lu Sheng didn't dwell on this issue, and asked Qin Guandao: "Then you see what we do next, we can't really talk about it." ”

"If the talk doesn't collapse, just ask the Liao people to continue the talk tomorrow." Qin Guan said.

Negotiation is a process of psychological warfare, and if they can really defeat the other side on the battlefield and obtain greater benefits, they will not choose to sit down and negotiate.

Back at the residence, Yeluwei's face was no longer as ugly as it had just been at the negotiation table, but had become very calm.

"What do you think?"

Yelu Weizhen asked Yelu Longyun.

Yelu Longyun said: "I am afraid that these conditions were put forward by Qin Guan, and other officials of the Zhao State did not dare to mention such exaggerated conditions, Qin Guan is cunning and wise, and very greedy, as long as he is given a chance, he will definitely ask us for conditions." ”

"How should we respond?"

Yelu Longyun said: "Isn't this the case for negotiations, first show their respective conditions, and then talk, our Liao State is not without a little confidence, and we will not let the people of Zhao State handle it at will." ”

"Where do you think our bottom line should be?" The second prince asked.

Yelu Longyun thought for a while and said: "At most, it is agreed to eliminate the previous agreement, remove the New Year's coin, and the two sides will trade with each other, as for the two states of Yi and Dai, they cannot be easily returned, and other conditions cannot be agreed." ”

The next day, the two sides sat down at the negotiating table again.

And then there's the non-stop tug-of-war.

This is a war without the smoke of gunpowder, exchanging ideas and feelings, starting fires, slapping the table in the same way, and even threatening and intimidating, and both sides have used all means.

Qin Guan participated in the negotiations, feeling more tiring than fighting.

The first truce and war, reconciliation between the two sides, and the establishment of a fraternal country, this article can be regarded as passed, and there is no meaning for both sides.

Article 2: After the boundary is demarcated, the two sides do not interfere with each other, and there is no problem with the repatriation of those who have fled across the border.

From the third point onwards, the two sides began to tear apart.

Open the mutual market, the Liao people agreed, but they did not agree to allow free trade in goods, the Liao people are not stupid, they know that the people of the Liao State have no resistance to those luxury goods and high-end goods of the Zhao State, if they agree to free trade, maybe it will not be long before the entire Liao economy will be hollowed out by the Zhao State.

The last article is tentatively set for the opening of the mutual market, and the details of the rest can wait for the conclusion of the peace talks, and the special departments will discuss them again.

Article 4 The 'Yizhou Treaty' was annulled, and Zhao no longer paid "annual coins" to Liao, and Liao agreed to this article, but the Liao people did not agree to the return of Yizhou and Daizhou.

This article is half talked about again, but this has already made Lu Sheng and others very happy, and removing the New Year's coins is an extra credit.

It seems that it is still useful to pay back the money at a sky-high price.

In the fifth article, Zhao Guo proposed that Zhao Guo should not be restricted from buying horses in Liao State, and Liao State resolutely opposed this article, Yelu Qingri stared at Qin Guan angrily, and said: "If we ask Zhao State to open up iron weapons, explosives, and the kind of black stick mechanism that can shoot projectiles to us infinitely, will you also agree?" ”

Both sides knew that this was their own country's strategic material and would not be given easily, and in the end, the envoys of Zhao could only give it up temporarily.

As for Article 6, Liao even refused to make it a condition for negotiations.

Yelu Weizhen said: "Lu Shangshu, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, we didn't get it from your Zhao State, Shi Jingjiao was anti-Tang and self-reliant, worshiped my Great Liao Emperor Taizong as his father, I sent troops to help him establish the Later Jin Dynasty, Tianfu three years, Shi Jingjiao according to the agreement, gave me the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to my Great Liao State, at that time, the Zhao State had not yet been established, and now the Great Zhao State requires us to return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, there is no reason at all. ”

Lu Sheng was speechless.

After Zhao Guo finished talking about his own conditions, Liao Guo also elaborated on his own requirements, and several other things were good to say, it was good to be brothers, the two sides would truce and stop fighting, withdraw their troops, return to the original national border, continue to maintain the original situation, and continue to open border trade, which can be said to be the unanimous will of both sides, but the last one is specifically for Qin Guan.

Yelu Weizhen looked at Qin Guan and said: "Lord Qin, you broke through the Dading Mansion and the Imperial Palace, and actually ransacked the Imperial Palace of the Liao Kingdom, and now the palace is empty, even some exquisite screens and gems that decorate the walls have been taken away by you, is it a bit excessive, and you have also extorted eighty percent of the property of all the officials of the Dading Mansion, this money, Lord Qin must return it." ”
