Chapter 484 Taking Over Youzhou

Before Tuoba Yu could say anything, he was interrupted by Lu Desheng, "You don't need to persuade me any more. I don't believe in the promise of your Xianbei Royal Court. You also signed a three-year peace agreement last year. What's the result?"

Lu Desheng's words were like a slap in Tuoba Yu's face, almost saying that their promise was worthless.

The Pingzhou officials beside Lu Desheng nodded in their hearts and agreed with their Master Lu's words, that is, if the Xianbei Royal Court wants to negotiate, they should bring out real benefits.

Tuoba Yu forcibly redeemed himself, "There is a reason why we from Xianbei went south this time——"

Lu Desheng didn't want to hear this, "Okay, okay, Prince Tuoba, you have expressed your 'sincerity' on behalf of your Xianbei Royal Court. Do you want to listen to my request?"

"Master Lu, please speak."

"We want Youzhou! Also, our Pingzhou was robbed of 1.2 million stones of tax grain by your second prince. You Xianbei must return this batch of tax grain to us."

What? ! When Tuoba Yu heard this condition, he almost jumped up. The lion opened his mouth, really the lion opened his mouth!

"Master Lu, your conditions are too excessive!"

A Youzhou and 1.2 million shi of grain are too expensive. The seventh prince is too expensive.

Does Lu Desheng know how expensive food is now?

"Isn't your noble seventh prince worth the price?" Lu Desheng looked surprised.

Can Tuoba Yu be said to be unworthy? He now inexplicably realized that Prince Gong of the Dali Dynasty must have felt the same way when he faced him just now.

"Besides, we just want to get back what originally belongs to us. This is not too much to ask for."

Shit!

Tuoba Jin on the side said angrily, "But we didn't get much food! Most of the tax food was burned by you! Some of it was robbed by bandits from Youbeiping County!"

He has the most say in this matter. Why should Lu Desheng put all the blame on Xianbei now?

Lu Desheng spread his hands and said, "We don't know this. Anyway, our Pingzhou lost 1.2 million in taxes and grain, and you have to compensate."

What Lu Desheng said is that it is true that they lost 1.2 million shi of food in Pingzhou. You said that you did not grab much food. Who can prove it?

All members of the Xianbei negotiating team were choked by Lu Desheng's words.

Prince Gong, who was blocked outside, also saw that Tuoba Yu and others had very bad expressions. He was very curious about what Lu Desheng had talked about with them. In fact, he hoped in his heart that the two sides would break down the talks. If the talks broke down, they would start fighting and fight each other, right?

Unfortunately, the reaction of Tuoba Yu and others was not as expected by Prince Gong. Although Lu Desheng was so angry that he vomited blood, Tuoba Yu and others still endured it.

"Lu Desheng, please be reasonable!"

Lu Desheng said seriously, "I am a very reasonable person." His strength is convincing people with reason.

"Tuoba Jin, just tell me whether your Xianbei people have gone to steal taxes and grain, right?"

"I went to grab it——"

"Isn't this enough?"

Tuoba Jin jumped to his feet, "But before us, part of your tax grains were stolen by bandits, and most of them were burned by you. In the end, we only got less than 20,000 kilograms of tax grains!"

"Are you lying? The subordinates who transported the grain said that there was a small river next to the place where the grain transportation team was involved in the accident. When you saw the grain on fire, why didn't you save it? Most of the grain must have been saved by you."

"If you dare to do something, you are not a man!"

Lu Desheng looked like, "Don't even try to lie to me."

It doesn't make sense. Tuoba Jin is really about to vomit blood. Can he say that they didn't put out the fire? But after putting out the fire, we really didn't save much food.

"The bandits stole some of it and burned some of it, but you Xianbei people must have snatched the bulk." Lu Desheng said as if that was what happened.

"Besides, who is to blame for this? That is also your Xianbei's responsibility, and that is also your fault. If you didn't come to steal our tax rations, our tax rations would be fine."

Tuoba Jin found that he could not explain clearly even if he had a long mouth.

Tuo Bajin still wanted to speak, but Tuo Ba Yu stopped him, "Master Lu, the compensation of 1.2 million shi of food is too much. Can we waive it? We exchange Youzhou for the Seventh Prince, and we treat it as if we were dealing with Xianbei." a friend.”

They Xianbei invaded Dali from the south and plundered several places. Since it was after the autumn harvest, they did get back a lot of food, but they would feel bad if they were given more than one million shi of food.

"Okay, let's just regard the two hundred thousand dan as the part that was robbed and burned by the bandits. One million dan cannot be less." Lu Desheng felt that he was easy to talk to, so he gave it to them at once Two hundred thousand stones are missing, good man.

Tuo Tuoyu was tired, he said he was exempted, what did Lu Desheng get in return?

Facing Lu Desheng's lion's big mouth, Tuo Bayu really wanted to...

But the seventh prince has to save him!

The biological mother of the seventh prince is the daughter of the chief of the Fuyu tribe. During the period when his nephew was arrested, I heard that the Yan family was crying in the clan, and even the chief of the Fuyu tribe went to find his eldest brother several times.

If his nephew dies, it will not be conducive to the unity of all ethnic groups, nor will it be conducive to the war situation.

The hanging Tuoba Lian looked at this negotiation that could collapse at any time. He couldn't help shouting to the hesitant Tuoba Yu, "Uncle Emperor, I don't want to die. My father is reluctant to spend money and food to save the emperor." I, I understand him. Can’t I just spend my own money to redeem myself?”

"You only need to give Youzhou out, and I will pay for the one million stones of food!" Tuobalian shouted, "Master Lu, I don't have that much food, can you use gold, silver and jewels to compensate?"

Lv Desheng was delighted when he heard this, but he agreed reluctantly, "Okay."

"Uncle, my mother must have put all the gold and silver for my redemption into the grain team. You go and find it, and then redeem me."

Tuoba Yu: This prodigal! When did he secretly put his family's assets into the grain team?

"Prince Tuoba, how about the deal?" Lv Desheng asked.

Tuoba Xun whispered, "Uncle, promise him! Rescue the people first."

"Okay, it's settled. We will take Youzhou and gold and silver worth one million shi of grain to exchange for the seventh prince Tuoba Lian."

Lv Desheng waved his hand, "Okay, then you go and prepare. When you are ready, we will exchange money and goods."

Gold and silver are easy. Tuoba Yu can just ask someone to look for them in the grain they carry. It is more troublesome to hand over Youzhou.

They had to negotiate with Prince Gong and others first, asking them to withdraw the military equipment and officials of several counties in Youzhou from Youzhou and smoothly transfer them to Pingzhou, and then the matter would be considered complete.

Under Tuoba Yu's order, there were plenty of people to handle this matter.

The gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the food and grass were easy to find, and they were transported here soon.

Tuoba Yu asked, "You don't want a truce agreement?"

Aren't they the Xianbei scary? Tuoba Yu couldn't help but doubt.

Lu Desheng curled his lips, "Your truce agreement is like a fart, we don't ask for it."

To sign this agreement, you have to give up some of your interests, whoever signs it is stupid.

Hearing this, Tuoba Yu was very depressed, this Lu Desheng is too smart.

Tuoba Yu: "The gold, silver and jewelry worth one million shi of grain are all here. I have sent someone to negotiate with Youzhou. You can arrange someone to take over later."

Lv Desheng asked people to move boxes of gold, silver and jewelry away, "Okay, after our people take over Youzhou, we will release Prince Tuoba Seven."

At this time, Prince Gong was in a state of panic. Just now, the people from the Xianbei royal court came to ask them to withdraw the military equipment and officials in several counties in Youzhou, and someone would take over Youzhou next.

Youzhou was going to change its owner.

Prince Gong only then realized how painful it was to cede three states. It was also at this time that he knew the conditions negotiated by the Xianbei and Pingzhou.

After learning about it, his eyes lit up and he hurried over, "Wait--"

"Prince Tuoba, you have been fooled--".

Prince Gong wanted to use the truth of the tax grain robbery to talk to Tuoba Yu again and win some benefits for Dali.

An arrow passed through his face, directly shaved a strand of his eyebrow, broke the skin, and blood gushed out.

Prince Gong was startled.

Lu Desheng: "Prince Gong, sometimes you need to be careful about what you say and do, what do you think?"

Zuo Anmin, who was standing by, was also startled, and he even looked around.

Of course, he knew what Prince Gong wanted to say, and he came over to help, but he didn't dare to speak at this time, for fear of being shot to death by the archer hiding in the dark in Pingzhou.

Facing this situation, Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Xun and others exchanged glances with each other. They and Pingzhou both had archers, which was a bit troublesome.

In fact, the Sun family army also had archers who could shoot through the willows at a hundred paces, but after the Sun family's archers arrived in the north, they were a little uncomfortable with the climate, so General Sun didn't assign him any tasks.

"Prince Gong, is Youzhou ready to be handed over?" Tuoba Yu asked.

Prince Gong hadn't come to his senses yet, so Lin Ran answered for him, "I've ordered the officials to evacuate."

Deng Fangyi, who was standing beside him, had a sad face. The order was issued by him, the governor of Youzhou.

Lv Desheng didn't care about them and immediately ordered, "Qin Yan and Qin Zhao, the two of you take 15,000 soldiers and go to take over the counties of Youzhou."

Qin Yan and Qin Zhao stepped out, "Yes!"
