Not to mention Li Tai's complaints, when Lu Tong presented this jade book, he was also very worried.

The situation has evolved into what it is today, and it will be very difficult for the Chinese and foreign governments to properly resolve their contradictions without making any concessions. And this time he led a team to the south to negotiate, and the task was to resolve this contradiction on the premise of paying as little as possible.

Originally, according to the plan they had discussed before, this order would not be handed over until at least the ownership of the 60,000 army was discussed, so as not to make Li Tai ask for more.

However, after Lu Tong and the others came to Gangneung to get to know each other, they found that the situation in Gangneung was much better than they imagined, and Li Tai's attitude towards them was even tougher than expected.

Of course, Lu Tong handed over the important chips of their side in advance, and he also had his own considerations. It is obvious that Li Tai has absolute control over the situation here in Gangneung at the moment, which means that how the situation will develop next depends largely on Li Tai's thoughts.

In such a situation, if you weigh in on the pros and cons in detail, it will only make the relationship between the two sides more blunt and the dialogue more confrontational. It is better to simply give up these overly rational entanglements, but to start from the kindness between each other, and negotiate from a perceptual perspective that does not lose temperature.

Although Lu Tong made such a choice, the final effect still depends on Li Tai's reaction, so after handing over the book, Lu Tong stared at Li Tai's expression with wide eyes and carefully observed.

Li Tai raised his hand and closed the brocade silk wrapped in the book again, and then casually put the thing aside. After Lu Tong saw this scene, his heart sank, and asking for the title of prince for Li Tai was already the most conciliatory and sincere statement that the Chinese and foreign governments could make, if Li Tai still refused to accept it, it meant that his people would inevitably be bigger, and there would be no possibility of reconciliation between them, and a civil war would no longer be inevitable!

Li Tai quickly withdrew his thoughts from this jade book, turned to look at Lu Tong and said, "Since Duke Suide is honest with each other, then I will also talk freely to the Duke of Suide, and there may be a transgression in my words, and I also ask Duke Suide to tolerate my informity."

"Humble and respectful to the king!"

After hearing this, Lu Tong hurriedly lowered his head and said.

Hearing this new title, the corners of Li Tai's mouth trembled imperceptibly, and he said with a straight face: "This time the government orders before and after are out of harmony, although I have not been greatly disturbed, but I have been thinking about it recently, it has always been harmonious inside and outside, why is there a dispute this time?

After entering the country, Duke Zhongshan and Wei Angong had many outrageous words and deeds, and each of them was punished, or it was said that I took revenge for personal grudges, which is of course biased, but it also makes people wonder, who is the person who harms the public and confuses the public with private interests?

The giant girl is in the world, and my country is divided into things, and now the thieves in the east are even more powerful, and they actually deceive the sky and steal their lives, which will inevitably make the spectators in the world secretly think wildly. Fortunately, King Yuwen's concentration is extraordinary, and he is not bewitched by evil words, and he still calmly calculates.

However, the towering wood will inevitably grow with rotten branches, and it will override the national plan with private plans and interfere with the world's conditions with selfish desires, so it will be unstable and chaotic. I am by no means the only one who has been disturbed, but I also know that King Yuwen is wise and will soon come to his senses, so he is not in a hurry to admonish himself, but is still devoted to his affairs in order to repay later."

When Lu Tong heard this, although they had different positions, they couldn't help but agree in their hearts. As Yu Wentai's confidant, he also has a lot of feelings about his recent change in attitude towards people and things, but he doesn't dare to express it as directly as Li Tai expressed.

In short, after the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into two schools, the East and the West, although the Western Wei Dynasty was weak and weak, it was still able to overcome the strong with the weak and withstand the coercive pressure from the east. Yuwentai, as the actual head of the Western Wei Dynasty, naturally also benchmarked Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in his heart.

Now that Gao Huan has passed away, even his son has been replaced by the second crop, and he has successfully become self-reliant on behalf of Wei. Of course, Yuwentai is also secretly anxious in his heart, and his purpose and appeal have become stronger, and some behaviors will naturally change compared to before. The outbreak of contradictions with the Jingzhou military government and Li Tai is the most direct and violent embodiment of this change.

Compared with Yu Wentai, who is anxious for the world, there is no doubt that Li Tai's approach is more catered to the public

Sincere. His people are not in a hurry to raise troops and start infighting, but still give priority to pioneering, and continue to work hard to make their piece of cake bigger, rather than rushing to kick people off the table.

But when his thoughts flowed to this point, Lu Tong hurriedly secretly warned himself in his heart that he didn't dare to continue to think about it.

"The princess came with his life today, so that I know that what I plan is correct, and I still know each other with King Yuwen, and I will reward the royal family and never forget my original intention. It's a pleasure to get along with each other! Therefore, I am going to borrow Suide Gong to replay the next thing, and I think I will be able to get it."

Speaking of this, Li Tai patted the jade album on the side again, and then said: "Suide Gong should also know that I am no longer a young man who returned to righteousness in the old years. But how can the merits of the old be accomplished by one person? To this day, the only people who regret it are that the powerful men under his command are still many lonely and nameless, and these disciples have not been paid for their previous deeds, so how can I stand proudly in the front class?"

Since you want to engage in a new prefix, you naturally can't just patronize your own position and strive for it, and the brothers also need to make progress together!

After Lu Tong heard this, he bowed back and said: "This matter has also been discussed by the Chinese and foreign governments before the trip, but because Lu Bujie has not yet entered the palace, and the details of the military aircraft have not yet been known, there is no way to deal with the matter that should be confiscated. Please rest assured, the world will be watching this battle in Gangneung, and as long as the army triumphs, all those who have made meritorious contributions will surely be rewarded!"

Li Tai laughed again when he heard this, this is the problem, as long as Lao Tzu accepts this position, it means that I am in collusion with Yuwentai all the way, but the problem is that I don't have the power that Yuwentai has!

The name of the king is good, but I can no longer be the great Wei Chunchen, but the actual power has not increased by leaps and bounds, will Lao Tzu dare to go out fishing in the future?

"What Suide Gong said, in fact, I am also quite worried. It's just that there is a border between Jiang and Han, and it is difficult to generalize everything with Chinese and foreign government affairs, and it is unclear to distinguish and judge them. If there is a person like Suide Gong who is familiar with the allusions of the Chinese and foreign government formats to come here as my chief, he can still decide everything and play the mansion in detail. But if the current military officials make mistakes, they can ruin the merits of hundreds of soldiers, and they will not hesitate?"

He looked at Lu Tong again and said, while sighing in his mouth: "Although I am in charge of the Rong Brigade, I have also heard about important things in the country. The former Huashan Gong was ruined because of his words, although he was to blame, but it was also embarrassing. I know that the fathers and elders of Kanxi are very important in keeping their jobs, and rashly growing up to the edge of the town will inevitably lead to public resentment. However, this matter has nothing to do with the six squares of Dugi, and the rioters of the six squares must not be tolerated and connived at this crime, if I have a statement, I will punish the murderers severely!"

After Lu Tong heard this, his expression also changed and changed. What is the inside story of Yang Kuan's matter, it really understands everyone who understands. Although the matter itself is too sensitive, no one can go into it.

But if Li Tai put aside the issue of the foreign garrison of the government troops and interrogated him about the murder of the forbidden army in Liufang, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Wei Chigang, as a leading general, to be left alone.

But in addition, another meaning revealed in Li Tai's words also surprised Lu Tong, and he hurriedly asked, "The king also thinks that the soldiers of the Guanxi Prefecture should not be stationed outside for a long time? Don't agree with Huashan Gongqian's progress?"

Li Tai did not hide his attitude after hearing this, and nodded directly.

Yang Kuan's collusion with Sergeant Guan to engage in the stationing of government soldiers abroad was completely his own opinion, and he did not fully communicate with Li Tai, and this was not what Li Tai wanted. This was essentially a speculative act when there were contradictions and poor exchanges between the Chinese and foreign governments and the Jingzhou military government, so that Li Tai could withstand the pressure from the Chinese and foreign governments, and they launched their relations to seize control of the government soldiers.

Even if Yuwentai didn't do this, Li Tai would not have been kidnapped by Yang Kuan. Because he didn't intend to keep these 60,000 soldiers here for a long time, there was no need for this, and the price was relatively high.

These 60,000 government soldiers were pinched in his hands, just as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Yuwentai, and to weaken the military strength of Guanzhong.

As for the Jingzhou Army, which he himself has a very solid organization, if he really wants to keep these 60,000 Ma Qiang, it will have a huge impact on Jingzhou's existing economic order such as military supplies and people's livelihood. At the moment, Li Tai is not stable

to adjust and adapt to these drastic changes.

Li Tai knew in his heart that the confrontation between him and Yuwentai would not last too long, and once Yuwentai was gone, there would be no military leader in Guanzhong to lead the masses against him, and the current Zhongwai government would soon collapse.

In such a situation, he stared at Yu Wentai and entangled endlessly about the belonging of the 60,000 army, which only intensified the internal friction. Therefore, it is natural for these 60,000 government soldiers to withdraw to Guanzhong, but they must be withdrawn to Guanzhong in batches according to the specific military situation. The reward for killing Gao Ao Cao can be paid in batches, and the army has been withdrawn until Yuwentai dies.

Therefore, communication is really important, in the eyes of the Chinese and foreign governments, the ownership of the 60,000 troops can be called the core contradiction between the Chinese and foreign governments and the Jingzhou military government, but I didn't expect that the king of Taiyuan, who is important to the overall situation, did not intend to entangle and make things difficult for the Chinese and foreign governments on this issue.

"The king is serious, and he is a countryman! No wonder, no wonder all the governors and generals admired the king, not only because the king was astonishing, but also because of the compassion of the people!"

Lu Tong was depressed for a long time, but found that the problem he was most worried about did not exist at all, and he even cried with joy for a while.

However, Li Tai just smiled slightly and didn't speak, your problem is solved, what about mine?

The backlog in his chest was abruptly eliminated, and this refreshing feeling simply made Lu Tong flutter, and the smile on his face overflowed, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to get carried away at the moment, and the next negotiations needed to be more careful, trying not to anger the king of Taiyuan.

Although Li Tai himself did not have the idea of detaining the 60,000 army, but people's thoughts are changing all the time, if they offended Li Tai because of themselves and others in the negotiation process, which affected the smooth withdrawal of the 60,000 army to Guanzhong, then their sin would be great!

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Tong's eyes when he looked at Li Tai were even more humble and respectful: "The king's preface is different, and this matter is indeed not to be worried. It's just that the lowly post has been neglecting the border affairs for a long time, and it is difficult to have a good plan to offer the king for a while, and I don't know what profound advice the king has?"

Naturally, he wouldn't take what Li Tai said about letting him enter the palace as a chief official seriously, besides, the Jingzhou Military Mansion didn't have a long history Changsun Jian, but now it is directly not a person inside and out, of course Lu Tong doesn't want to repeat the mistake of Changsun Jian, so let's ask Li Tai first what idea is reliable.

After Li Tai heard Lu Tong's question, he also thought seriously, he was already in charge of the military and political power in the southeast, and it was definitely impossible for Yuwentai to send the emperor over to build a Southern Wei Dynasty, so he could only retreat to the second best thing and grasp the personnel power in his hands.

In the future, the appointment and dismissal of officials south of Wuguan, military merit rewards, etc., will no longer trouble your Chinese and foreign governments, and Lao Tzu will do it himself. Brothers want to progress, you can do it with me.

"Guanzhong is a long way away, and if everything needs to be played, it is inevitable that all things will be backlogged, which is not conducive to bridging the human feelings on this side. Therefore, I would like to ask the imperial court to temporarily dedicate this side to worship and depose all things, so that it can reward and punish cheaply, and proclaim prestige and prosperity. Of course, if there is something wrong with the matter, I will also respectfully wait for King Yuwen to send a letter of accountability."

In addition to personnel power, Li Tai also has his own ideas about the administrative structure here, and simply put forward his request: "The former Jingzhou Military Government has become more and more multiplied, and the sanctions imposed by the military government alone have gradually become insufficient. Nowadays, Hefei has been first obtained, Jiangling has been expanded, and all things about people and land are more cumbersome, and they also need to divide and rule. In the near future, I will discuss this matter with my subordinates, and then I will play the court after forming a plan."

After Lu Tong heard this request, his brows furrowed slightly, and when he noticed that Li Tai was looking at him, he quickly stretched out again, nodded and said, "The king's plan is indeed reasonable, and the humble position will definitely tell the palace of this intention as it is. King Yuwen has already intended to pay all the things in the southeast to the king, and the worship of the dethroned is also in the matter, so there must be no problem in this matter."

Immediately he said, "Now that the end of the year is approaching, the people in Guanzhong have only heard of Jiangling's great achievements, but they have not yet been caught. If we can report the victory before the year and make our sergeants and people rejoice, it will be a great good!"

After hearing this, Li Tai nodded and said, "I also have a plan for this matter, and I will use Li Xianqing, the Duke of Wu'an, to lead the Liang family's monarchs and ministers to enter the customs first, and wait until the imperial court orders are issued, and the personnel here can be properly handled

, all the people can triumph one after another!"

He now has a lot of chips in his hand, and the cheapest one is undoubtedly Emperor Liang Xiao Yi.

Even Xiao Jing, the king of Liang, was canonized by the Western Wei Dynasty, and Li Tai could stay here to arbitrarily decide everything in the name of the king of Liang, but Xiao Yi, the king of the dead country, was really of little use, and he used it to surrender with little effect, so he simply sent it to Guanzhong first, so that everyone could be happy first.

As for the repatriation of follow-up personnel, of course, the agreement must be fulfilled step by step. At present, the Zhongwai Mansion and Yuwentai are a little bankrupt in his credit, and the main thing is that he doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle!
