Chapter 47 Negotiations

Yu Zhi was a little nervous. After all, this was the first time Yu Zhi had seen such a scene.

"Qiuqiu, do you think I can not sit on it later?" Yu Zhi pointed to the long table and stools in the front row.

This is the living room of Honglu Temple, and there is a long table in the middle, and the table is very long, and it can seat as many as ten people on one side alone. And Yu Zhi and the others are waiting here for the arrival of those people from the mission.

Since Xiang Jinghao, the son of the king of Chu, returned to Beijing, he went to Honglu Temple that afternoon. It was the next day, and Xiang Jinghao was already in a hurry to negotiate with the mission. There is a will in the palace, and this is a very good thing. It is not difficult to do what is intended, and the purpose of the will is not difficult.

There is only a lack of a person in charge to move the negotiations forward.

Qiu Ruoruo shook her head, "Naturally not, if you don't play, how can you show your merits to Your Majesty at that time?" There is no such thing as a free lunch. ”

It didn't take long for Nomin to arrive with the mission.

The officials of the two sides had a tacit understanding and took their seats one after another.

Sitting in the center of the Great Chu Dynasty were Qiu Ruoruo and Xiang Jinghao, and the officials of Honglu Temple were on both sides. Seeing this, Yu Zhi sat in the corner position. The fact of negotiation is not Yu Zhi's strength, Yu Zhi just wants to sit behind him obediently, not speak, not move, and less pain involving flesh and skin.

Yu Zhi just glanced at the young prince of Chu, thinking that reincarnation was also a technical job. Often birth determines a person's starting point.

Among the missions, there were many "friends" who knew that they had several faces, and there were even Meng Si who did not know each other. In this negotiation, Nomin did not sit down at the negotiating table, and the other party sat in the main seat with Dolan and the beaten Month.

The so-called enemies are very red when they meet.

Meng Si first stared at Yu Zhi in the corner, and this culprit Meng Si didn't want to fight Yu Zhi to the death all the time. These days, Meng Si has already found out the details of Yu Zhi. A weak scholar who is laughed at by everyone dares to bully himself like this.

Yu Zhi closed his eyes and pretended not to see Meng Si, leaving Meng Si alone to secretly hate. Instead, Meng Si looked at Qiu Ruoruo again, and his affectionate eyes were still immortal.

Seeing this, Qiu Ruoruo's lips moved lightly and made a few lip shapes. Meng Si didn't understand, their language was different from the language of Da Chu, and there were no obstacles to communication, but there were difficulties at a deeper level.

The request made by the steppe wolf court was very straightforward, and the land was returned. After more than ten years of conquest, the territory of Great Chu in the north has opened up three hundred miles to the depths of the grassland, which can be seen in the territory included.

It is understandable that the new king wants to take this opportunity to reclaim his territory. However, His Majesty Da Chu is not a fool, and it is absolutely impossible to agree to this condition.

Negotiation and negotiation are naturally negotiated first and then judged.

However, the situation at the negotiating table seems to have skipped the first link.

Talk? Nothing to talk about. Our boss said your conditions, but I can't agree to them.

That's what the adults of Honglu Temple meant, and of course that's what their boss, His Majesty the Emperor, meant. The swords and swords and shadows were intertwined in the eyes of both sides, and it seemed that the two armies were about to break out into an incomparably tragic war in the next moment.

The spit was flying, and the only ones who stood still in the field were Xiang Jinghao, Qiu Ruoruo and Cui Wenqi. Month and Dolan on the other side also sat down unconcerned, as if the argument at the table had nothing to do with them.

"How is it possible to return the land? That's what my countless big Chu men got by throwing their heads and spilling their blood, and your fluttering words of return are for us to return. Where is the face of the majestic Chu? ”

"Those territories are originally owned by our Wolf Court, and you are brazen and send troops to rob them. It's been occupied for more than 10 years now, don't you want to return it? Is this looking down on our wolf court and bullying me that the wolf court has no warriors? ”

"I'm bullying you, what's wrong? I have the ability to send troops to fight back. ”

“……”

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

In fact, the steppe wolf court is not weak, but it is very passive at this time. Restrained by the incomparable strength of the Northern Army.

The wind and snow in the north are great enemies for both sides. The steppe wolf court can't hide, and neither can the northern army. Both sides did not want these elite soldiers to die in vain because of the wind and snow.

Yu Zhi was completely sleepy, and watched with interest as both sides punched their mouths. There are even some people whose butts have left the stool and are faintly about to fight.

After seeing it, Yu Zhi felt that there was no difference between state negotiations and bargaining between those aunt vendors in the streets.

After you came and went, I heard Qiu Ruoruo say: "I have never made concessions since the founding of the country. Every inch of land in the north was bought by the soldiers of the northern army with their lives, how can it be returned with a word? ”

Qiu Ruoruo's voice was particularly clear in the chaotic debate, and there was a very decisive attitude in her tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

The crowd stopped arguing, thinking that the master was about to speak. Dolan and Month, who were sitting on the main seat, also looked at Qiu Ruoruo.

"Now that the north is covered with snow for thousands of miles, and it is cold for thousands of miles, I am sympathetic to the soldiers to Your Majesty, and I can't bear to kill in vain, and the war in the north has been going on for many years, and I am willing to stop." Qiu Ruoruo said, "It's just that it's impossible to return the land. I am willing to retreat fifty miles to avoid any further conflict between the two sides. ”

Dolan was able to follow Nomin's side, so he was naturally a capable person. There is no reason for things in the world to be obtained for nothing, and the emperor of Great Chu will not back down for no reason.

"What do we need to give?" Dolan asked.

Qiu Ruoruo glanced at Dolan appreciatively, and continued to speak: "The sincerity given by my dynasty has been placed here, and we hope that the area of these fifty miles is not owned by the Wolf Court, but is used to open up horse farms and raise horses."

Nomin, who was sitting in the back, lit up and immediately suppressed the light in his eyes again. The Steppe Wolves were also exhausted by years of war, and they wanted to go south, but they were stopped by elite soldiers and strong generals for generations. She was silent, just waiting for Qiu Ruoruo to continue speaking.

Qiu Ruoruo glanced at Nomin, and the principal of the mission was still Nomin. He was silent for a while, leaving enough time for the other party to think, and then slowly spoke: "The horses in the horse farm are jointly supervised by both parties, Da Chu invests capital, and the wolf court sends people to jointly operate, and the combination will benefit both parties and avoid a hundred years of war."

After Qiu Ruoruo finished speaking, the two sides fell silent. I have to say that there are only benefits and no harm to the steppe wolf court.

"It takes a lot of manpower for me to wait for people, and this loss ......" Before Dolan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qiu Ruoruo: "The business income in the horse farm is divided by both parties through negotiation, how about it?"

Da Chu's request can be described as perfect. The Steppe Wolf Court now needs to recuperate, and the royal brother of Nomin needs to stabilize the power of the Wolf Court. The so-called outside must first be inside.

Nomin felt that this was an excellent buffer period to secure the throne of the Wolf Court.

Xiang Jinghao was very satisfied with the reaction of the opposite delegation, put his right hand on the table, and his fingertips tapped gently and regularly on the table, making a regular sound.

"Fifty miles is less. Da Chu gave up a hundred miles, and I can report to the Khan and then discuss. Dolan said. Negotiations are like this, there are back-and-forths, and no one is going to be satisfied with the conditions in front of them. It's like squeezing oil, squeezing out the last drop.

As soon as the words fell, Dolan himself was stared at. Like the wild beasts further north of the steppe, there is only the interest of cannibalism. She finally turned her head to the dark-skinned teenager sitting across from her.

When he came, Dolan had already heard the introduction of the next principal of Da Chu - Xiang Jinghao, the son of Da Chu and the king. Dolan didn't take it to heart. However, she seemed to have forgotten that Qiu Ruoruo was only fifteen years old and could still sit on the seat of the mission's reception.

"What does the prince think?"

Although frightened, Dolan still said the same. She felt that fifty miles was too little. The Great Chu Dynasty occupies more than 300 miles long, how can only 50 miles satisfy the appetite of the steppe wolf court.

The two sides fell into a silent standoff again.

"Not how. My Great Chu soldiers are strong and strong, and Marshal Xu Qing of the Northern Border Army is the first marshal of the Great Chu Dynasty. After all these years, I can suppress your wolf court, even if there is another war. Can we still be afraid? Xiang Jinghao was majestic and high-spirited, and he was not afraid of Dolan's bargaining.

Qiu Ruoruo and Cui Wenqi looked at Xiang Jinghao at the same time. These words are tantamount to provoking the other side and making the negotiations go in the direction of breaking down.

And that's not all.

And I heard Xiang Jinghao continue: "The Steppe Wolf Court, the new king is on the throne, and the dynasty is unstable. The Northern Frontier Army sent troops to destroy your wolf court in one fell swoop, and you are all prisoners of my steps, how can there be any negotiation? ”

At this moment, the officials who are not negotiating with the mission feel ridiculous, and even Yu Zhi, who is just making up people's heads, feels that Xiang Jinghao must have entered the water in his brain.

Yu Zhi didn't feel that it was none of his business, this time he was thinking about taking over the mission to wash his reputation, how could he let Xiang Jinghao spoil a good thing. And Yu Zhi also knew that the bottom line in the emperor's decree was Baili, and Qiu Ruoruo made it clear that he would raise the price. This is a commonly used method in street trading, I don't know if Xiang Jinghao is pretending to be confused.

No matter what, Yu Zhi would not let this prince of Chu who felt hateful when they met for the first time do bad things.

Yu Zhi leaned back and looked at Qiu Ruoruo. It just so happened that Qiu Ruoruo also looked at Yu Zhi with a tacit understanding. Yu Zhi squeezed his eyebrows and tried his best to make his eyes, and Qiu Ruoruo also understood Yu Zhi's eyes.

"That's not what the son meant." Without waiting for Qiu Ruoruo to respond, Yu Zhi opened his mouth to defend, "The grassland is vast, and the horse farm is just for the relationship between Da Chu and the Wolf Court to be repaired and mutually beneficial and win-win." I couldn't show my sincerity in vain, but I didn't get anything in return. In this case, His Majesty the Emperor has a reason to use troops. ”

The sound coming from the corners is exceptionally clear.

Yu Zhi saw that everyone was looking at him, and continued to speak: "As Ruoruo said, Your Majesty is unwilling to fight anymore and intends to repair it. As a courtier, he is responsible for the king's worries, so he naturally has to do this errand for His Majesty. ”

Yu Zhi stretched out five fingers, "Fifty miles is enough to build a horse farm, and it is enough for the new khan to give an explanation to the tribes." What does the county lord think? ”

Yu Zhi looked at Nuo Min who was drinking tea slowly, and Nuo Min always had to decide this matter.
