Chapter 251 Peace Treaty

Lu Desheng was straightforward, "You can let us release Tuobalian, but we can't let him go in vain!"

Tuoba Xun: Does that mean there are conditions?

"How are you doing?"

Dugu Zhong shouted directly, "If you want golden cattle and sheep to redeem the little prince, there is no need to talk, just start a fight!"

The members of the Xianbei negotiation team stared at Lu Desheng and the others eagerly, as if they were about to start a fight if they disagreed.

When the members of the Houcheng negotiation team heard this, they looked at them with disdain, either openly or covertly.

Chen Ping and Li Dan whispered, "These Xianbei barbarians really think too much. We in Dali are much richer than their grasslands. As long as they don't come to rob us, who cares about their golden cattle and sheep." While chatting, they noticed that Lu Desheng After glancing at them, he quickly pulled them over and said, "Master Lu, do you think so?"

Lu Desheng: "I don't like it!"

Chen Ping:......

Lu Desheng looked at the members of the Xianbei negotiation team who were shouting that they would not use gold, horses and sheep to redeem their people, and sneered in his heart, "Boy, if I had known you would think so, I would deal with you later!"

Lu Desheng spoke, "We don't want your golden cattle, horses and sheep——"

Hearing this, Tuoba Xun and others were stunned. If you don't want these, what do you want?

"Listen up, our only request is that you, Xianbei, are not allowed to go south to plunder Dali in the next five years!"

One word can cause thousands of waves!

Five years? ! "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Except for the eldest prince Tuoba Xun, the other four people stood up.

In fact, Tuoba Xun himself was shocked by these words.

Yuchi Rui immediately stepped forward, and Le Guicai was not to be outdone. The whole atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out.

Lu Desheng's eyes widened and he was full of energy. He scolded them like his grandchildren, "Sit down, sit down! What are you so excited about?"

Dugu Zhong, He Lanyan, He Ximing and others stared wide-eyed. You made such an excessive request, and now you ask them what are they excited about? Can they not be excited? If they don't capture Dali for five years, how will they survive the winter in Xianbei? Starve to death and freeze to death?

Lu Desheng continued to train people, "Have you ever heard of a saying? Ask for a high price, and pay back the money! The conditions are all negotiable."

Very good, they understand that this matter can be negotiated!

Tuoba Xun spoke, "One year! I can decide this. If you insist on five years, there will be no discussion. He, Tuoba Lian, is not worth the price!"

"The eldest prince!" He Lanyan and He Ximing both exclaimed. Is the eldest prince forcing the other party to beat the little prince?

Tuoba Xun raised his hand to stop them.

Lu Desheng calmly shouted, "Four years!"

"Two years! No more!"

"Both of us will take a step back, three years! For three years, you agree, and after signing the negotiation agreement, you can take the person away." After Lu Desheng said this, he looked like there was no discussion at all and he didn't want to talk anymore. appearance.

Tuoba Xun didn't speak, as if he was evaluating the truth or falsehood of the other person's words.

Others were already making a fuss.

"Eldest Prince, I can't agree to this!"

"You said it lightly. If you don't agree, will you just watch the little prince being trapped like a hornet's nest?"

"You're talking nonsense..."

In contrast, the Houcheng negotiating team seemed harmonious and peaceful.

In fact, Le Guicai, Chen Ping, Liu Heshan and others were not at peace in their hearts. This was the first time they heard the specific content of the negotiations. Lu Desheng had always said that it should be kept confidential and had never disclosed it.

Can Xianbei agree to this condition?

Lu Desheng took a sip of tea, looked at the Xianbei generals who were already quarreling, and spoke slowly, "Prince Tuoba, it's getting late, let's just talk about this for now? Under the current conditions, you can also Let’s go back and discuss it. We’ll continue talking tomorrow, as long as we can get results tomorrow.”

Under Lu Desheng's kind reminder, Dugu Zhong, He Lanyan and others were suddenly surprised. Yes, they wanted to go back to discuss it.

The negotiations entered the intermission stage, and both parties evacuated in an orderly manner.

"Eldest Prince, do you need to report this situation to the Khan?" Dugu Zhong reminded.

Reporting is definitely required. Tuoba Xun hesitated, would the Khan think he was useless? Khan would definitely not be satisfied with such conditions. But on Houcheng's side, he had a hunch that they would not give in anymore.

Wu Shaoguang saw the eldest prince's dilemma, and he was also trying hard to think of a solution. Then he suddenly remembered the letter Xue Xu gave him. He told himself to open it two days later when he encountered difficulties. Did he mean now?

He quickly took out the letter from his arms and opened it. After reading the letter, he suddenly understood.

He quickly told the eldest prince the solution mentioned in the letter.

After hearing this, Tuoba Xun's eyes lit up, he glanced at Wu Shaoguang appreciatively, and said, "I will go back to Shengle in person! Just stay here and wait for me to come back!"

In the Shengle Royal Court, Tuoba Khan was also waiting for news from Houcheng.

He had just finished dinner when his servant reported that the eldest prince was back and asked to see him.

He asked someone to bring his eldest son in, "How is your brother?"

Tuoba Xun was stunned for a moment before replying, "It looks okay. The Houcheng County Magistrate did not abuse him."

When he said this, Tuoba Xun felt regretful. Why did Dali follow such rules? Too civilized. It would be nice to just let him lose his arms and legs.

"What did Houcheng say? What conditions were offered?"

Tuoba Xun described the contents of the negotiations one by one to Tuoba Khan.

Tuoba Khan was a little surprised after hearing this, "The other party just put forward such a condition. They don't want gold, silver, cattle, sheep and horses?"

"Yes."

Tuoba Khan frowned, his eyes thoughtful.

Tuoba Xun suppressed the excitement in his heart and said boldly, "My son, I think we might as well promise them to rescue my brother first."

These words made Tuoba Khan raise his eyes and look at him.

"Father, it is true that we have signed an agreement, but we cannot break it. What if some Khans kill our herdsmen next year or the year after that? Are we still not allowed to send troops?"

Tuoba Khan smiled approvingly. If he wanted to send troops, he could always find an excuse.

Their move was equivalent to a white wolf attacking Tuoba with nothing.

"Is this what you thought of?"

"Yes." Tuoba Xun nodded confidently. This idea was thought of by Wu Fuguang, but just because Wu Fu was his second housekeeper, doesn't it mean that he thought of it?

"Just do what you want on this matter, and then save your brother."

"Yes!" Tuoba Xun looked at the sky and said to himself, he still had to rush from Shengle to the border overnight!

Tuoba Khan encouraged him, "Recently, your performance has been very good, keep up the good work. Our Xianbei future lies with outstanding young people like you."

Over in Houcheng, father and daughter Lu Desheng and Lu Songli were also having a meal.

After the meal, the servants served them tea.

The father and daughter were drinking and talking.

"Tuoba Xun has returned to Shengle in person." After Lu Desheng said this, he added, "My daughter, what do you think the outcome will be tomorrow morning?"

Now Mr. Xue and his son-in-law haven't come back yet, and I don't know if things are not going well there.

"Dad, don't worry, things will go smoothly. Xianbei will agree to our conditions." Lu Songli was 90% sure of this when the plan was decided. Now, with the help of many parties, the matter is progressing Now, the outcome was a foregone conclusion in her eyes.

As for Xue Xu, Qin Sheng and their group not coming back yet, she wasn't too worried. Xue Xu is resourceful and cautious. If the situation is not right, he will escape. In addition, Qin Sheng was a bit lucky, so she was very confident about their combination.

Hearing this, Lu Desheng hummed. Under the reminder of their people, this peace treaty was just empty talk for Xianbei. What could they not agree to?

"Your plan is too bold!" Let him take the lead in this negotiation, involving the Xianbei Royal Court, the Emperor of Dali, Liaodong County and others.

Hearing her father's words, Lu Songli smiled, "Dad, these forces are already entangled because of Tuobalian. My plan is just to use Tuobalian as a hot potato."

"And I also built a step for them to save their face. Without me, they would probably have to fight, and their brains would be beaten into dog brains." Of course, the Qin and Lu families will also be dragged in In the midst of war.

She helped them solve such a big problem. Next, getting a small benefit is not too much, right?

Lu Desheng thought to himself that his daughter's words were correct.

Initially, Tuoba Lian was captured alive by Le Guicai. For Liaodong County and Dali, Tuoba Lian was indeed a hot potato. It's a pity to throw away, it's hot to hold, and there are future troubles.

Sure enough, trouble soon appeared - the Xianbei Royal Court issued a threat, and if Liaodong County refused to release the people, they would go south and flatten the entire Liaodong County!

Liaodong County is in crisis.

In this case, others saw a nerve-wracking crisis, but my daughter saw an opportunity!

His daughter analyzed the three parties involved in the crisis with him in private.

First of all, Xianbei Khan is a very ambitious grassland overlord. He may not be willing to raise troops southward at this time, but he has to save his son.

Let’s look at the other two parties, Liaodong County and the Dali Dynasty. For them, they captured Xianbei’s little prince alive and were still threatened? This is really unreasonable! If they let people go in vain, do they still want to lose face?

Under such premise, if the two sides are in a stalemate, the war will really break out.

When my daughter saw this, no one wanted to fight, but if no one could give her a break, they would all have to fight.

Therefore, his daughter told him that the key to solving the crisis in Liaodong lies in having someone willing to provide a platform for the Xianbei Royal Court, the Emperor of Dali, and Liaodong County. This person is him!

It was then that Lu Desheng realized how important he was.

After Lu Songli saw the opportunity, she started to think about it. How to provide this level so that everyone can accept it?

Not only do they have to take care of Tuoba Khan's face, but they also have to take care of Dali's face.

She was the one who came up with the peace treaty.

In fact, Lu Songli felt that there were probably many people who thought of using Tuoba Lian to force Xianbei to sign a peace treaty, but if they wanted to implement the matter and use Tuoba Lian to force Xianbei to accept it, the other party would probably not accept it. Even if it is accepted, it will take a long time to negotiate.

Then the imperial court will definitely send officials with sufficient weight to take charge of this matter, and then the opportunity for the Qin and Lu families will be gone.

So Lu Songli's solution was for both parties to sign a peace treaty on the surface, and then have someone reveal it to the Xianbei Royal Court in private. They could find a reason to tear up the treaty after signing it.

This is an unbounded treaty.

In this way, cooperation can be quickly achieved, and her father can quickly take credit for himself.

This contract took care of Tuoba Khan's face.

Because whether it is three years or five years of not going south, such a heavy price to exchange his son back shows that in the eyes of the Dali official, his son's character is precious, which gives him great face.

And Tuoba Khan knows that this is an empty promise, and Xianbei has no loss. So he will be satisfied.

For the new emperor Song Mo, one Tuoba Lian, in exchange for Tuoba Khan's promise not to go south for three years, can show the majesty of the emperor.

For Liaodong County, one Tuoba Lian in exchange for three years of peace is very cost-effective.

Look, this is the solution she, Lu Songli, came up with.

She is worthy of being her, professionally solving customer pain points for thirty years.

In fact, in this game, everyone on the Dali side really lost only one Tuoba Lian, and Xianbei also got only one Tuoba Lian.

After this game is completed, all the benefits will be planned by her to her side in the future.

Don't blame her for abusing power. Without the protection of force, any peace treaty may actually be empty talk. Whoever believes it is stupid.

Next, she had to plan and make some profit before she could successfully reap the fruits of victory. Her next goal was to protect Houcheng and look to Liaodong!
