The uneasy mood of the envoys of the Western Regions countries did not last for a few days, and Su Qin and Wang Yi, who had received Wufeng's instructions, soon started arduous and meticulous negotiations with the envoys from the five countries. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At the same time, the large armies stationed in the north and south of the Western Regions also accelerated their build-up, and even the first batch of 20,000 Mott cavalry, which was being reorganized, also marched into the border with Loulan to strengthen the deterrence of Loulan.

On March 30, 697 in the Gregorian calendar, the first phase of negotiations between the Northwest and the Western Regions was concluded. The envoys of various countries sent urgent notices to their own countries when they learned of the sensitive and complex content involved and the large number of interests involved, requesting that a larger delegation be sent to participate in this negotiation involving the future direction of various countries, and after receiving the notice, the countries also organized a delegation representing the interests of all parties in the country to rush to Qingyang in the shortest possible time, and for a time the high-end inns and hotels in Qingyang City were overcrowded, and in this first stage of the negotiations they felt the firm determination of the northwest, and also knew that the other side was unlikely to make concessions on this point, and the Wusun State first signed a treaty, followed by Gaochang State and Baijia State also signed a treaty, but the envoys of Kuqa and Loulan have never been able to sign the agreement because they have not been authorized by their own countries.

On March 27, the three divisions of the Northern Luzon Army marched into the territory of Kuqa State, and the 100,000 troops stationed on the border of Loulan in the north marched southward to defeat many forces of Loulan army that came to block it, and completed the siege of Loulan City.

In fact, the content of the first phase of negotiations only involved two aspects, one was related to the issue of each [***] team, and the other was related to the future framework of the alliance of countries in the Western Regions. On the issue of the armed forces, according to the insistence of the northwest, all the countries in the Western Regions will retain only 5,000 self-defense forces as the security guard forces of each country, and the rest of the troops will select their elite to form a Western Regions United Army, the number of which will be formed in the proportion of 10,000 in Wusun, 5,000 in Loulan, 5,000 in Beijia, 5,000 in Kucha, and 5,000 in Gaochang.

The issue of the structure of the alliance is also a more sensitive issue, the countries of the Western Regions used to have a loose political organization, that is, the Western Regions Alliance, but this organization only stayed in the form, it was a name for the countries of the Western Regions to communicate with each other, and it did not become a substantive institution, let alone an executive organ, and Wu Feng's idea was to continue the name of this organization, substantialize it, greatly expand its power, and establish the executive body of the alliance. - The Administrative Affairs Office of the Alliance, with a director and a deputy director, consists of the Administrative Affairs Office, the Finance Office, the Interior Office, and the Trade Office, which are responsible for the specific administrative work of the Alliance. This point also caused some controversy among the countries, but after the northwest side said that there was no room for negotiation on this point, and also asked the countries to follow the political axe structure of the northwest provinces within the existing framework and gradually implement reforms, so that it could better reflect the development of the Ming Cook, the focus of the debate among the representatives of the countries was more focused on the distribution of the positions in the government affairs office of the alliance.

The figure of Wu Feng Wei'an was pulled into a long shadow under the afterglow of the fall, and several people followed him silently strolling in the Qingyang Central Garden, which is a municipal building built by Qingyang to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the victory of the Qingyang Defense War, a row of marble reliefs depicting the tragic situation of the war were placed in the center of the garden, and behind the relief is a bronze statue, the image of a soldier with a gun and a shield in his body with two arrows is still fighting bravely is fully displayed, especially the vivid expression on the soldier's face is more exciting, and the whole statue is set off vividly, let a cadre of military generals, especially the old men of the Northwest Army who followed Wu Feng to participate in the bloody battle a few years ago, make an exception to applaud Molun's measure.

"Su Qin, since the treaty of the first phase has been signed, I think the second stage should also follow up immediately, strike while the iron is hot, now almost all the representatives of the aristocratic forces of the Western Regions countries have accompanied the delegation to Qingyang, they are actually not too interested in the content of our first phase of negotiations, they should be most interested in the details to be involved in the second stage, during this period of time, you and Wang Yi should contact more representatives of various forces, and find more supporters for our northwest, Xiao Tang, you can also participate in more liaison banquets or cocktail parties, I think Su Qin and Wang Yi may not be busy。 While staring at the relief, Wu Feng did not look back, and said straight down.

Several people behind him nodded yes, the first phase of the agreement has been signed, after countless negotiations, arguments, After quarrels and even threats and intimidation, accompanied by a series of compromises and concessions, the task of the first stage was finally basically completed, which had made Su Qin and Wang Yi feel exhausted, but as the boss said, the arduous work has just begun, the second stage of negotiation is the top priority, the first stage of negotiation is just a prelude, many people in the first stage of concessions are in order to obtain more benefits in the second stage of negotiations, and Su Qin and Wang Yi in order to promote the other party in the first stage of negotiation conditions, but also have to make various wishes and promises to those people against their will。

"Tianfang, I'm afraid you will have to make a hard trip, go to the countries of the Western Regions, inspect and supervise the implementation of our garrisons in the countries, and the formation of the United Army of the Western Regions, I am afraid you will have to discuss more with Helian Bo and them, be sure to pull up the framework in a short period of time, don't give the countries too much time to prepare, if it is not possible, you can directly transfer from the existing armies of the countries, but be careful not to concentrate too much in one establishment, and strictly supervise them to disband the army according to the schedule, this point can not be ambiguous, lest some people have to be whimsical。 ”

"My lord, the Wusun army is easy to handle, and it can be directly drawn from Huyanqiu's guards, but the armies of other countries may still need more and more detailed information from the intelligence department, as well as Lord Su and Lord Wang, the combined army is our military foundation in the Western Regions in the future, and we can't let those with ulterior motives take advantage of the loopholes. While Ling Tianfang agreed, he also put forward his own opinions.

"Well, you go and ask Ling Fox Yi to provide you with some information, he has been preparing for a while, I believe he should also gain something, Su Qin and Wang Yi can also provide you with some information that you have mastered. Wu Feng turned his head and said, "Now that the situation in the Western Regions has reached the most critical step, we must be cautious in the next stage of negotiations, which is related to the interests of our northwest in the Western Regions in the future. Fortunately, the first stage has laid a good foundation for us, and the interests of the nobles of all ethnic groups are not the same, so we only need to hold on to this principle, that is, to let those nobles taste the sweetness as much as possible in terms of economic interests, even if there are some losses in front of them, but in matters related to the power of the state, we cannot make any concessions in principle, and we must determine it according to our intentions. As long as we firmly grasp this point, I think even if there are some unwilling to lose, they will not be able to set off any waves. ”

While Wu Feng and his party were talking about the second phase of the idea, two men on the outskirts of the city also drove their horses along the path next to the trade road to the west.

"Lord Saibo, we haven't seen each other for a while, have we?" The slightly older middle-aged man wrapped his head in a white scarf, and his neat gray-white robe rippled with the undulating footsteps of the healthy horse under his crotch.

"Well, Lord Abushimev, the last time we met was at the Loulan Palace, was it four years ago? thanks to your hospitality, the hand-caught lamb meat of the royal chef of your royal palace is indeed worthy of its name, and I will never taste it in many years. The man who replied was thin, but he was in good spirits.

"I'm sorry about the matter between Your Highness Sethna and Your Highness Said, although I didn't agree with my lord's idea at the time, I didn't firmly oppose it, but fortunately, there were no big twists and turns in the end. "The older middle-aged man is naturally the Minister of State of the Kingdom of Loulan Abu Xiev, the Matrilineal Family of the Minister of State of Wusun Saibo was originally the Loulan noble, and Tuo himself has always been good friends with important figures in the other family, so after the negotiation was signed today, he took the initiative to invite Saibo to go out of the city for a visit, and the other party also accepted the invitation happily.

"Oh, the past is over, and you and I are just in our own places, and we can't blame you. Saibo smiled and met the other party's apologetic eyes, quite a bit of a smile and hatred.

"If you don't mind, if it weren't for those things at the beginning, how could you have made the covenant today?" Abushiev looked at the red and said with some emotion, "Everything is like a passing cloud, a white horse passing through a gap, fleeting." ”

Saibo felt the other party's sadness, he understood a little, but he didn't fully understand, so he had to ask vaguely: "Lord Abshiyev, you seem to have something on your mind?" Now that the first stage of negotiations has ended, and the Northwest Army and your country have avoided a bloody battle, you should breathe a sigh of relief and take a rest, your body still needs to pay attention. ”

"Hehe, negotiations?" Abshiyev smiled bitterly, "Lord Saibo, the first phase of the negotiations is so difficult, don't you notice that the representatives of various countries, including you and me, are already fighting for the interests of their respective groups? ”
