Chapter 709 You Should Be Grateful
Zheng Zhanzhou was so angry that he was shaking all over.
The minor official of Pingzhou government handed him a clean cloth towel, but was pushed away, so he had to hand it to Wang Heyu.
Wang Heyu handed the cloth towel to Zheng Zhanzhou with a sullen face, "Wipe it."
The minor official next to him wiped the water on the table neatly, destroying the body.
Zheng Zhanzhou wiped it twice randomly, threw the cloth towel on the table, and said sternly, "Don't you have anyone in Pingzhou?"
Then he pointed at Lu Desheng, "Such a vulgar person is actually the person in charge of your Pingzhou peace talks?! A gentleman uses words instead of hands, does he know?"
The negotiating team members of Pingzhou across from him thought, what is his identity, do you know it?
Lu Desheng rolled his eyes, "Do you have someone in Dali? People like you who don't know what they are can become the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. I am the person in charge of Pingzhou peace talks, what's the problem?"
He thought, little guy, I don't like you for a long time. You were talking nonsense from the beginning. I know you are the good guy in the negotiation team, but you didn't play it well. What's wrong with a slap in the face?
Zhou Chengzhong said: When he was valued by the previous emperor, you didn't even know where you were!
Wang Heyu frowned, "Lv Desheng, you are too much!"
"Am I too much? The dog you brought out is not tied up properly, it is easy to be beaten to death." Lv Desheng said seriously.
Zheng Zhanzhou couldn't stand being called a dog, "You——"
Lv Desheng interrupted him directly, "What do you mean by me? By the way, do you still want to talk properly? If you don't want to talk, just say it directly, and go home early!"
He looked disgusted, and after saying that, he muttered again, "Really, why are there so many trivial matters? It's really a waste of time!"
His muttering was so loud! Everyone present could hear it.
Dali Negotiation Team Members: Too arrogant!
Lu Wei and Chen Yue, who were sitting on both sides of Lv Desheng, could not help but look at each other. If Lord Lv did not have the support of the governor, he would be beaten to death if he went out.
Zheng Zhanzhou felt that his breath was stuck in his chest, neither up nor down. He was glad that he was still young. If he was older, he would probably be angry to death by the other party.
Wang Heyu looked at Zhou Chengzhong and motioned him to smooth things over.
Zhou Chengzhong: ... No, who did he offend?
"Lord Lv, Lord Zheng, everyone calm down, calm down, don't get angry, don't get angry." He wanted to say don't fight, but when the words came to his lips, he changed them abruptly.
Lv Desheng agreed very straightforwardly, "Okay, since Lord Zhou said this, I, Old Lv, will give you face."
"Lord Lv, drink a cup of cold tea to calm down."
The people below served tea to everyone again at the right time, but considering the situation just now, they didn't dare to serve hot tea this time, but warm tea.
Lv Desheng picked it up.
Seeing this, everyone was tense, fearing that he would do it again.
He took a sip of tea, and then everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Wei next to him asked Wang Heyu, "Sir Wang, shall we continue the conversation?"
Wang Heyu nodded solemnly.
According to his previous estimate, the new regime of Pingzhou was equivalent to a poor man who had just become rich. It must hope to be recognized and must be magnanimous in its actions.
He arranged Zheng Zhanzhou, a young man, to play the role of the good guy so that the negotiations could go in the direction he wanted and he could vent his anger. However, Pingzhou was even more shameless and had no magnanimity at all.
When the members of the Dali negotiation team saw that Wang Heyu, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, had sat down, they also sat back with a breath held.
Wang Heyu felt the anger of his subordinates, but he was helpless. He wanted to turn around and leave, but now the advantage was in Pingzhou, and peace talks were the most urgent need of Dali at present.
Lu Desheng glanced at Lu Wei and gave him a look, "You come next."
Lu Wei nodded, and then confirmed the conditions just agreed upon again, "Lord Wang, I just said that the first condition for the peace talks is that we in Pingzhou can cease fire, but Xie Zhan must die."
Wang Heyu: "We agree."
Lu Wei continued, "The second condition for the ceasefire is that Dali must cede Yanzhou to us in Pingzhou."
Lv Desheng added leisurely, "Although Yanzhou is not big, it only has five counties, but we don't mind."
Wang Heyu heard this condition and flatly refused, "Impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible. It's okay if you Dali don't want to. At most, we will work harder and take it ourselves!" Lu Desheng said coldly.
Wang Heyu stood up and said angrily but restrainedly, "You Pingzhou has made such an excessive request. Is this the attitude of wanting to have a good peace talk? Don't think that you Pingzhou have explosives, and we Dali will let you bully us!"
Lu Wei comforted, "Lord Wang, don't get excited. I can understand your feelings, but you should calm down first."
Zhou Chengzhong: Are these officials in Pingzhou devils? It makes people angry to death, but they still want to calm down.
Wang Heyu took a few deep breaths to calm down the anger in his chest.
Lu Wei then said, "Lord Wang, ask yourself, is it really too much for us Pingzhou to make such a request?"
Before Wang Heyu answered, Lu Desheng beside him answered for him, "Not too much at all. Now we agree to it, and we will keep it safe. Otherwise, if our Pingzhou army takes it by itself, Xuzhou and Yuzhou will probably not be able to be saved."
"Our Lord Lu's words are rough but true. So, you should think about it. In fact, from another angle, even if Yanzhou is ceded, the territory of Dali is still two or three times that of Pingzhou, which is enough for your emperor to govern."
Zhou Chengzhong: I always feel that this statement is full of connotation.
Wang Heyu did not speak, and neither did the other members of the Dali envoys. In short, they protested silently.
Lu Desheng said, "Don't think that if you agree to such a request, you Dali will suffer a great loss. Let me tell you this, Xianbei wants to negotiate, but we in Pingzhou have not agreed."
The news revealed by Lu Desheng made Wang Heyu and others look at each other in bewilderment.
Looking at the expressions of the leaders on the opposite side, it seems that they are not false?
Lu Wei and Chen Yue smiled but did not speak. Lord Lu's words were indeed not lies.
It was not a secret that Dali sent an envoy group to Pingzhou for peace talks. After the Xianbei learned about it, they also wanted to send people to negotiate.
But it was rejected by the governor.
The governor said, 'There is no negotiation for territorial disputes, only war. When Pingzhou takes back all the territories occupied by Xianbei, we can talk about peace talks'.
Lu Desheng picked up the teacup, blew on it, and said slowly, "So, you should cherish this opportunity and learn to be grateful."
Zhou Chengzhong was stunned. What to cherish? Cherish this opportunity for their emperor to kill the ministers personally? What to be grateful for? Be grateful that Pingzhou gave Dali the opportunity to cede land?
Fuck gratitude!
Wang Heyu held back his anger and said, "This matter is serious. We need time to consider and ask our emperor for instructions."
Lu Wei: "Okay, you think about it carefully."
The progress of the peace talks is slow. Anyway, it's not Pingzhou that is anxious.
Lu Wei arranged for someone to send Wang Heyu and his party back to their place of stay.
As soon as they returned, the entourage in the courtyard came forward and said, "My lords, lunch is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
"Get lost!" I'm so angry, what else can I eat?
