Chapter 370: Negotiation

"Xiaomin Huang Yi, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling bring it!" The door official sang, and the three of them followed Li Jing to the stone steps where Li Yuan's dragon seat was located. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I've seen Tang Wang Bixia!" the three of them bowed and bowed.

"Flat!" Li Yuan smiled: "Haha! I finally saw the three of them, and they were really young and promising!"

"King Xie Tang praises!" the three of them saluted again. But there was something strange in my heart.

"Shimin said that it was a great contribution to be able to obtain the 'Yang Gong Treasure Treasury' this time. What reward do you want?" asked Li Yuan.

It turned out to be this matter, and it seems that Li Shimin has dug up Yang Gong's treasure house. But Li Shimin pushed the credit to the three of them, and he couldn't help but feel a little more good in his heart.

"It's not a secret, I do ask for something!" Kou Zhong stepped forward.

"Oh, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Li Yuan had an in-depth understanding of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. After all, the two of them are also fierce rivals who compete with themselves for the world. Especially even Li Shimin once said that in the Central Plains, except for Kou Zhong, he didn't care about other forces at all.

But later, Li Yuan learned that the two had given up fighting for the world, so he handed over Yang Gong's treasure house and changed the angle. Li Yuan couldn't help but cherish his talents. On the contrary, he is more and more cautious about Li Shimin's wariness.

Since the establishment of Tiance Mansion, Li Shimin can be described as a dominant family. Even he, Li Yuan, is becoming less and less concerned. Doing something from time to time is a prelude to him, which makes him extremely unhappy. And because when Taiyuan raised troops, it was Li Shimin's strategy, Li Yuan promised him to make him the prince after the matter was completed, but after Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, he made Li Jiancheng the prince. It always made him feel that Li Shimin was resentful.

Kou Zhong replied: "The world will be unified, and the main reason why the three of them came to Chang'an this time was to come to surrender for the 'Lingnan Song Valve'. ”

"Song Valve is willing to surrender?" Li Yuan stood up and said, "Is this true?"

In his early years, Song Que ascended to the position of lord of the valve, rectified Lingnan, pacified the chaos, and united the southern bureaucrats. When Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty swept the south, with an army of 100,000 to conquer Lingnan, Song Que led 10,000 elite soldiers to fight, the two sides fought a decisive battle in Cangwu, Song Que won ten battles, Yang Jian then adopted the Huairou policy to seal Song Que as the Duke of Zhennan, although Song Que accepted the title but never went to the court, Yang Jian regretted that he failed to subdue Lingnan in his life.

Song Que's ability, Li Yuan couldn't be clearer. The Central Plains is basically pacified, and south of Chang'an is the chassis of Song Que. Although Li Yuan didn't take Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Xiao Miao, and Lin Shihong in his eyes, he only had a headache for Song Que.

Li Yuan once bowed to Yue Shan, the 'Badao'. And Yue Shan lost to Song Que in twenty years. Now that twenty years have passed, no one can imagine the extent of the current Song Que.

In that year, after the death of 'Emperor Yang' Yang Guang, the Song Valve showed extremely terrifying financial resources and hoarded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. It was really jaw-dropping. It's just that Song Valve has never shown his intention to dominate the world, and no one knows what he thinks. But if it is as before, 10,000 elite soldiers can defeat 100,000 Sui soldiers. With the addition of the young marshal's army, with nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, wouldn't the Tang soldiers have to send 2 million troops to suppress them? Not to mention other things, it is impossible to achieve this in terms of troops alone.

"Lord Song does have this intention, but there is one condition!" Kou Zhong said.

"Sure enough!" Li Yuan didn't show his expression, and asked lightly, "What conditions?"

"Everything is the same as in the Sui Dynasty. In the Lingnan region, the Song valve wanted 'autonomy'. Kou Zhong replied.

Li Yuan frowned, he had been in the military for decades, but he had never heard of what 'autonomy' was.

"What is 'autonomy'?" asked a very clever eunuch for Li Yuan.

"The so-called 'autonomy' mainly includes the personal liberty of the people in the region, the freedom of land tenure, the freedom to form autonomous governments, the freedom to elect and establish merchants' guilds, and the right to be exempt from taxes such as toll taxes and bridge taxes. The Song Valve enjoyed independent administrative, judicial, financial, coinage, military defense, and the right to declare war and make peace with foreign countries...... "Huang Yi said a lot of scattered things. Even the civil and military officials couldn't understand what he was saying.

However, they are keenly grasping a key point. 'The Song Valve enjoyed independent administrative, judicial, financial, coinage, military defense, and foreign war, peace, and other rights...... Isn't these rights equivalent to giving all the territory south of the Central Plains to the Song Valve to open the country?

"This is absolutely impossible!" Li Jiancheng shouted: "If no one is like this, then there is no need for war in the world." Baling is still Xiao Milling, and Lin Shihong occupies the southeast area. Where do we still have a territory in Datang?"

"The prince was surprised!" Huang Yi explained: "Lingnan and other regions are naturally classified into the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the Song valve will offer tribute every year to show the meaning of the monarch and ministers. Song Que is still the Duke of Zhennan, but he only listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement. It is forbidden for the imperial court or the army to interfere with freedom! or if Li Tang is in danger, the Song Lords can send troops to help!"

Li Yuan's brows furrowed. If Li Shimin and Kou Zhong are born outstanding commanders, Song Que is the most far-sighted military strategist of Botong's ancient and modern decay and Middle Earth. If you fight against it, even if you win, it will definitely make Datang decline and step into the footsteps of Yu Culture and Wang Shichong. However, if the Lingnan region were to be handed over to him, it would not be the desire of any ruler. After all, the territory of Lingnan belongs to the Jiangnan region, and the economy is much better than that of other regions.

"Do you know that my Datang can wield a million elite soldiers at will. You Lingnan, Song Valve, how can you resist it? Why do you want me to give Lingnan to you 'autonomy'?" Li Yuan said lightly without revealing any emotion. Anyone can hear the threat.

Kou Zhong looked up to the sky and laughed, "If the Lord of Song doesn't have the confidence to resist your so-called million elite soldiers, there is no need to call me to negotiate!"

"What a big breath!" said one of the people below Li Jiancheng.

This person is the prince Zuo Wei rate, Doctor Zuo Guanglu, Shangzhu Guo, General Yunqi, and the 'Pei Longqian' of Xiangzhou Thorn History.

Shangzhu was the highest general at that time. Li Jiancheng can become the crown prince, and there is a reason for him. Because of his merits, Li Shimin really doesn't have to be worse.

"You can try!" Although Xu Ziling doesn't like to talk to outsiders, he never likes others to yell at him and others. Just this sentence has already shown his determination.

Li Yuan, either agree. Or, you just go to war and try it!

"Hahaha......" Li Yuan suddenly laughed wildly: "A good newborn calf is not afraid of tigers." It is impossible for me to send Lingnan out for nothing. You go back and tell Song Que that the negotiation is only effective when both sides have the same strength. Unless he can let me see his strength, enough to resist my Li Tang's pace. Otherwise, don't think about what works and what doesn't. ”

"How do you prove it?" asked Huang Yi.

"First of all, he can resist my Tang army. Secondly, unless he can beat Ning Daoqi!" Li Yuan said.

"What!" the three of them were shocked. It seems that what is said is true. Because of Cihang Jingzhai, even Ning Daoqi, a master in the world, stood on Li Tang's side. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Yuan to say such a thing.

"What's so difficult about resisting Tang Bing? I can alone resist you 100,000!" Kou Zhong said.

"How can this be reasonable, I don't see my Datang in my eyes. I beg the Tang King to give me an order, let me teach this boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, and see what he is capable of speaking out of his mouth here!" Pei Longqian shouted again. (To be continued.) )
