Negotiations continue.

Xianbei forced Dali to cede the five states and return the Tuoba Company before he was willing to withdraw his troops and cease fighting.

On the Dali side, the Xianbei army was required to withdraw unconditionally from Dali and sign a ten-year peace treaty, during which Tuoba Lian needed to be held hostage in Chang'an.

The two sides reiterated their demands and did not budge an inch.

Lu Desheng directly threw away the notebook, looked at the Xianbei negotiation team opposite, and said in an unkind tone, "Say it again?" You really don't want to talk about it anymore, do you? ”

Tuoba Lian, who had just been rudely bandaged, shouted, "Uncle Wang, you guys have a good talk, show sincerity to talk!" ”

Topa Reputation: ......

Lu Desheng's threat, they felt it.

So, the Xianbei royal court hesitated, and finally decided to give way, "Then cede the four states, let's give up Liangzhou, and want the north, the state, Youzhou, and Pingzhou." ”

Suddenly retreating from five states to four states, the Xianbei negotiating team felt that they were full of sincerity.

Lu Desheng looked at Prince Gong, Lin Ran, Zuo Anmin and others, "What about us?" ”

Prince Gong didn't speak.

Lin Ran was obviously here to make up the numbers, and was indifferent to the progress of the negotiations.

Zuo Anmin is obviously watching a good show.

Lu Desheng knocked on the table, these people really didn't feel conscious at all, "If everyone doesn't give in, this negotiation can't be discussed." ”

Damn, this is like two stubborn cows, pressing one and having to press the other, tired.

Prince Gong pondered for a moment and said, "This negotiation is entirely up to you. ”

That's what it means to let him make his own decisions.

Lu Desheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked at Prince Gong, who looked away.

"Four states is too many." Lu Desheng went to talk to the Xianbei negotiation team.

"Don't be in a hurry to refute, I admit that your Xianbei army is very brave and good at fighting. However, you have only occupied three of these four states. Now you're asking Dali to cede more than a dozen cities and counties in advance that may not necessarily be taken by you, isn't it too much? ”

Lu Desheng controlled the whole game.

The Xianbei negotiation team exchanged words for a while, and finished, "Three states, our bottom line is three states, and if there is less, there will be no talks!" ”

Tuoba Yu emphasized.

Lu Desheng was very calm, just when they were farting.

"You Xianbei don't back down at all, dare to ask, where is the value of Tuoba Lian?"

This time it was Tuoba's tour talk, "His value is to create an opportunity for you to negotiate." ”

Lu Desheng smiled and asked, "Are you sure that's the case?" I think this opportunity is given to both sides. ”

"Of course, we don't want to fight. You Xianbei nobles like to fight, but what about the nomadic herdsmen below? What about their parents, wives and children? Do you also like to fight? Are you willing to fight too? You know, fighting a war kills people. Dead, that's nothing. ”

"Now, if you lower your requirements and take the benefits for nothing, it may not be worse than after the death of many people, and the benefits will be a little worse than now."

Lu Desheng's words made the Xianbei negotiation team turn heads and whisper again.

Looking at Lu Desheng, who was trying to negotiate, Prince Gong lowered his eyes, alas, he didn't know anything.

"There is some truth in what Lu Desheng said."

After the Xianbei negotiation team exchanged words for a while, Tuoba Yu spoke again, "Two states, not an inch less land!" ”

Seeing that Lu Desheng was about to speak, Tuoba Yu hurriedly said, "If you don't agree, we can only take it ourselves." ”

Tuoba Yu threatened, "If you take it yourself, you will only take more at that time." ”

"Now, cede two states to us, and we will withdraw from Jinyang, Yanmen and Daijun according to the situation."

In fact, Xianbei's request, from another point of view, they occupied three counties, a smaller state, and now it is equivalent to withdrawing troops if they want one more state.

Their demand was to replace the city they had captured in one place, and give another state as compensation for their withdrawal, and if Dali agreed, they could sign a treaty that would not invade the south for ten years.

As for Da Li's request, during this decade, Tuoba Lian needs to be held hostage in Chang'an.

The Xianbei negotiation team tried to fight for it, but after finding that Da Li's side did not agree, they gave up.

The Xianbei royal court doesn't care about Tuoba Lian's whereabouts, as long as he lives, as for whether he goes to Chang'an as a hostage or releases Xianbei, it doesn't matter.

Lu Desheng knew that this was Xianbei's bottom line, and it was impossible to back down. This was also estimated when they simulated and analyzed it before.

It's a pity, but he did his best.

It is unknown how many years the ten-year covenant will last, and perhaps after Xianbei digests these two states, it will invade the south again.

However, from another point of view, the signing of this treaty has also won Dali a few years of development time, which is already very good.

As far as Dali is concerned, Lu Desheng ceded five states demanded by Xianbei through this negotiation, and when it comes to ceding only two states, no one can say that Lu Desheng did not do his best this time.

If you don't want to go to war, this is already the smallest price that Dali has to pay.

Prince Gong and the others also knew that Lu Desheng talked about the conditions here, which was very powerful.

At this time, Tuoba Yu said, "If you have no opinion on this condition, let's talk about the states that your Dali needs to cede." "Xianbei people are happy and don't like to procrastinate.

Prince Gong asked tentatively, "Which two states do you want in Xianbei?" ”

"We want Pingzhou and Youzhou!" Tuoba Yu is categorical.

They are willing to negotiate in order to hold Pingzhou in their hands.

Deng Fangyi, the assassin of Youzhou who was sitting on the side, heard this, and his eyes darkened.

The history of the state assassin is happy, his two counties are back, Xianbei doesn't want to merge the state, can he continue to be his state assassin?

Xianbei mentioned that the highest governors of the five states ceded to him came, but the governors of the northern border and Liangzhou did not attend the negotiation because they were too far away.

"Impossible!" Lu Desheng was the first to object. Damn, he worked hard to preside over the negotiations, and in the end, he wanted to cede his Pingzhou?

Tuoba Xun slapped the table directly at this time, "This is not good, that is not good, do you Dali want to continue the war?" ”

Prince Gong pressed Lu Desheng, "Prince Tuoba, we have no opinion on the outcome of this negotiation." ”

Lu Desheng: "I don't agree to this condition." ”

Tuoba Yu looked at Prince Gong, "What do you Da Li say?" ”

Pingzhou held the hostage in his hand, and his words still carried weight. And it was always Lu Desheng who presided over the negotiation just now, so Tuoba Yu didn't dare to take Lu Desheng's words seriously.

"Lu Desheng, don't make trouble. The negotiation you presided over was a failure. It's okay if the court doesn't hold you accountable. Moreover, Pingzhou belongs to Dali, and the imperial court has the right to dispose of it. ”

Lu Desheng sneered, he changed Xianbei's request from ceding five states to ceding two states, this is called failure?

As far as Da Li's request is concerned, no one can succeed in negotiating!

What does Dali have? The Xianbei Five-Way Army invaded Dali in the south, Jinyang, Yanmen, Youbeiping County, and Dai County were lost one after another, and the only one who held it was their Daping Prefecture.

In such a situation, what qualifications does Dali have to not give an inch? Is it just one top? Tuoba Khan has no shortage of sons.

"In short, I disagree!"
