Chapter 726 Sunken Capital
Hancheng Plain, Dali Station
The fact that Emperor Song Mo fainted and vomited blood due to anger was something that Dali wanted to keep secret, but because they were too close, they failed to hide it from Pingzhou, who was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared.
Pingzhou sent an envoy to visit.
This person was none other than Jiang Shaoyan, a well-known stubborn person in the Pingzhou government office.
"Emperor Dali, can you do it?" Jiang Shaoyan had an expression that said, "If you can't do it, the peace talks will end here, so that you don't have to blame us if something happens to you."
Song Mo said expressionlessly, "I'm fine."
Seeing that he would not die for a while, Jiang Shaoyan politely said goodbye.
Next, Dali, Pingzhou and Xianbei had several more negotiations.
In the end, Dali and Xianbei lowered their bottom line again and again, and were forced to come up with the following conditions: Xianbei ceded a large area bordering Pingzhou Liaodong County and Fuyu County to Pingzhou, that is, Xianbei did not exchange the northern border and Liangzhou with Pingzhou, but gave Liangzhou to Dali.
Dali, on the other hand, took out Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and together with Qingzhou taken out by Pingzhou, formed a free trade zone.
Because the area ceded by the Xianbei royal court was the place where the eastern Xianbei were located, the area was about the size of a state, and Murong Jie was furious when he learned about it.
At this point, the negotiation teams of Dali and Xianbei lost their temper.
They thought they had already given in to the bottom line and were unwilling to give in anymore.
Originally, they thought that Pingzhou should be willing to accept such conditions.
Therefore, the leaders of the three parties met again.
Song Mo's face was very pale and he became thinner.
Lu Songli estimated that he was only 1.72 meters tall and probably weighed less than 100 kilograms. She kept shaking her head in her heart, thinking that Wushisan was harmful.
When Tuoba Duoji saw Lu Songli, he couldn't wait to say, "This time, our three-party peace talks will be signed according to the above conditions, and a five-year peace agreement will be made from now on! Emperor Song and Governor Lu, let us join in this grand event!"
Lu Songli chuckled, "You Xianbei have repeatedly broken the agreement and have no credibility with me."
Tuoba Khan choked.
"Then what do you want?"
At this time, Song Mo also looked at her.
Lu Songli said such words at this time, which was very tough and made people very uncomfortable.
If you have this attitude from the beginning, what is the point of their negotiations for a few days? Are you playing tricks on people?
"You Xianbei must sign this treaty before I can trust you."
After Lu Songli finished speaking, Chen Yue next to him immediately handed over a document.
Tuoba Jin stepped forward, grabbed it and pulled it over, respectfully handing it to his father Khan.
Tuoba Khan's face was dark, and when he took it and looked at it, his face became darker.
After reading it, he stuffed it to Tuoba Jin with a swish.
Tuoba Jin looked down and his face suddenly became ugly.
It was written on the paper that if the Xianbei broke the contract within five years, they would have to cede Yanzhou to them Pingzhou as compensation.
Yanzhou and Xuzhou were considered to be the members of Dali and Xianbei to form a free trade zone. After all, on the surface, the relationship between Dali and Xianbei was like that, so of course this matter had to be handled vaguely.
But this official document from Pingzhou was equivalent to confirming their rights.
The members of the Xianbei royal court behind Tuoba Khan looked at each other, and they were all communicating with their eyes. Do you want to sign this document?
They took another look, and the members of Pingzhou headed by Lu Songli were not in a hurry at all!
Tuoba Doji pinched his brows. It seemed that he had to sign the document. Because Pingzhou would not agree to the peace talks if he did not sign, it was equivalent to wasting all the efforts of these days.
After figuring out the key, Tuoba Doji agreed.
As he signed his name, someone below presented the signed document to Lu Songli.
Lu Songli was also very satisfied with the result. She looked at Tuoba Doji, "Tuoba Khan is straightforward enough."
"As long as Governor Lu is satisfied." Tuoba Doji said with a smile.
He thought to himself, this contract is just to fool you. If it really comes to the time to break the contract, he will not recognize this contract. What can Pingzhou do with them Xianbei?
Lu Songli also smiled meaningfully, thinking, if you don't give it to us, won't we take it ourselves?
Seeing this scene, Qin Sheng next to him felt like he had seen it before.
"Tuoba Khan, wait a minute." After Lu Songli gestured to him, he turned to Song Mo, but did not speak immediately, as if he was considering what to say.
Song Mo said coldly, "I, Dali, have always kept my promise. Governor Lu will not ask me to sign such a document, right?"
Lv Songli smiled slightly, "Song Emperor is joking, but to be honest, the parties seeking peace are originally you, Dali and Xianbei, so shouldn't you show some sincerity?"
"We, Dali, have already offered Yanzhou and Xuzhou, isn't that sincerity?"
"If Yanzhou and Xuzhou were only the share of you, Dali, it would be enough, but you know very well that you helped Xianbei bring their share out."
"So what?" Song Mo asked back.
Lv Songli didn't waste words, "You, Dali, have to add some chips." Layer by layer, with the sunken capital in front, she believed that Song Mo would agree, not to mention that Dali wanted to promote the free trade zone of the three states.
"What do you want?" Song Mo asked simply, "As long as it's not excessive, I agree." Meaning, don't mention anything excessive.
Lu Songli smiled lightly, "Emperor Song doesn't need to be so wary of me. I just want to ask you for a few people who are useless to you."
"Who?"
"Yao Songwen and the Yao family."
Hearing this answer, Song Mo agreed with a gloomy face, "Okay."
"Also, Wei Kuang's family members."
This time, Song Mo was silent for a long time and still agreed, "Okay."
"Finally, the wives, concubines, and children of the former prince."
When Song Mo heard this, he stood up and said, "Lu Songli, don't go too far!"
The officials in Dali also looked horrified!
What does Lu Songli want to do?
She wants Yao Songwen's family, which is understandable. The emperor doesn't care much about the exile of this family.
It is understandable that she wants Wei Kuang's family members to be her relatives. After all, Wei Kuang was captured by Pingzhou. She probably wanted to use Wei Kuang, so she wanted to rescue his family so that they would no longer be under the control of Dali.
But why does Lu Songli want the former prince’s wives, concubines, and children? Doesn't she know that the former prince's wives, concubines and children can be imprisoned and die, but they cannot be traded?
How could the emperor agree?
If the emperor agrees to such conditions, then does the emperor still need his reputation?
Facing the anger of Song Mo's emperor, Lu Songli remained unmoved.
"Emperor Song, think about it yourself." After saying that, Lu Songli planned to get up.
This is her promise to King Jin to Bai Xingzhi. Moreover, the former prince's wives, concubines, and children were not living well in Chang'an. It's better to let Bai Xingzhi take him to Fusang. After all, if he goes to Fusang, Prince Jin, his uncle, will take care of him.
"Wait, let's make another request."
"Can't change it."
As soon as Lu Songli left with the officials from Pingzhou, only people from Dali and Xianbei were left on the scene.
But when Song Mo saw Lu Songli and his party leaving, he also threw up his sleeves and left.
The members of the Xianbei Royal Court, who thought they could resolve the matter today, looked helpless at this scene. To be honest, they all want to persuade the emperor Dali. There are only a few of them, why can't they agree to her?
