Chapter 251 Peace Treaty

Lu Desheng was straightforward, "You can let us let Tuoba Lian go, but you can't let it go for nothing!"

Tuoba Xun: Does it mean that there are conditions?

"Then how do you stay?"

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

Members of the Xianbei negotiating team stared at Lu Desheng and the others with a fierce look, as if they were about to start a fight if they were disagreeing.

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

Chen Ping and Li Dan whispered, "These Xianbei barbarians are really thinking too much. Our Dali is much richer than their grassland. As long as they don't come to steal us, who cares about their golden cattle and sheep?" When he was talking, he found that Lu Desheng looked at them, and he hurriedly pulled him up, "Mr. Lu, do you think so?"

Lu Desheng: "I like it!"

Chen Ping:...

Lu Desheng looked at the members of the Xianbei negotiating group who shouted that they would not use golden cattle, horses and sheep to redeem people even if they died, and sneered in his heart, Xiao Wang, if you had known you would think so, I'll deal with you later!

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

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Xun and others were stunned. If you don’t want these, what do you want?

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

A word startled a thousand waves!

Five years?! "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

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

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

Yuchi Rui immediately stepped forward, and Le Guicai was not willing to be outdone, and the whole atmosphere was about to break out.

Lu Desheng glared at his tiger's eyes, and his aura was full of momentum. He scolded them like a grandson, "Sit down, sit down! Why are you excited?"

Dugu Zhong, Helanyan, Heximing and others widened their eyes. You made such an excessive request. Now you ask them what they are excited about? How can they not be excited? If they don’t rob Dali for five years, how can they spend the winter in the Xianbei? They starve to death and freeze to death?

Lu Desheng continued to train people, "Have you heard a word? I asked for a price all over the place and paid back the money! As for the conditions, there is room for negotiation."

Very good, they understood that this matter could be bargained!

Tuoba Xun spoke, "One year! I can make the decision. If you persist for five years, there is no need to talk about it. Tuoba Lian is not worth the price!"

"Big Prince!" Helanyan and Heximing exclaimed, is the big prince forcing the other party to slap the little prince?

Tuoba Xun raised his hand to stop them.

Lu Desheng shouted lightly, "Four years!"

"Two years! No more!"

"We both take a step back, three years! There will be a three-year period. You agree and after signing the negotiation agreement, you will be able to take away the people."

Tuoba Xun did not speak, as if he was evaluating the authenticity of the other party's words.

And the others have already had a quarrel.

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

"You said lightly and didn't agree. Do you watch the little prince get tied into a hornet's nest?"

"You're talking nonsense..."

In contrast, the Houcheng Negotiation Team seems harmonious and quiet.

In fact, Le Guicai, Chen Ping, Liu Heshan and others were not calm. This was the first time they had heard the content of the specific negotiations. Lu Desheng had always said that he would keep it confidential and had never disclosed it.

Just this condition, can Xianbei agree?

Lu Desheng took a sip of tea and looked at the Xianbei generals who were already quarreling, and slowly spoke, "Prince Tuoba, it's still late, so let's talk about this for the time being? With the current conditions, you can also go back and discuss. We will continue to talk in the afternoon, as long as the results can be obtained in the afternoon."

With Lu Desheng's kind reminder, Dugu Zhong, Helanyan and others were suddenly surprised and said, "Yes, they want to go back and discuss it."

The negotiations entered the intermission phase, and both sides evacuated in an orderly manner.

"Big Prince, should you report this situation to Khan?" Dugu Zhong reminded.

Reporting must be reported. If Tuoba Xun was in a state of trance, would Khan feel that he was useless? Khan would definitely not be satisfied with such conditions. But he had a premonition on Houcheng and would not give in any further.

Wu Weiguang saw the prince's embarrassment, and he was trying hard to find a solution. Then he suddenly remembered the letter Xue Xu gave him, and he told him to take it apart when he encountered difficulties in two days. Does this mean the current time?

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

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

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

Shengle Wangting and Tuoba Khan were also waiting for news from Houcheng.

As soon as he woke up from a nap, he heard from the servants that the eldest prince was back and asked to see him.

He had someone bring his eldest son in, "How about your brother?"

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

When he said this, Tuoba Xun felt regretful. Why is Dali so law-abiding? It's so civilized. It would be great to just let him lose his arms and legs.

"What did Houcheng say? What conditions have been issued?"

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

After hearing this, Tuoba Khan was a little surprised, "The other party asked for such a condition: "There is nothing to ask for gold, silver, cattle, sheep and horse?"

"Yes."

Tuoba Khan frowned, his eyes filled with thoughts.

Tuoba Xun suppressed the excitement in his heart and said boldly, "My son thinks, you might as well agree to them and save your younger brother first."

This sentence made Tuoba Khan look up at him.

"Father, we signed the agreement, but we are not allowed to break the agreement. If a knight kills our herdsmen next year and next year, will we not be allowed to send troops?"

Tuoba Khan smiled in praise. He could always find excuses if he wanted to send troops.

Their move is equivalent to getting a waste of money and getting Tuoba Lian back.

"Is this what you thought of?"

"Yes." Tuoba Xun nodded shamelessly. This idea was what Wu Yangguang thought of, but Wu Yangguang was his second housekeeper, wasn't it the same as what he thought of?

"Do this matter according to your thoughts and save your brother before you talk about it."

"yes!"

Tuoba Khan encouraged him, "You have performed very well recently, so keep going. The future of our Xianbei is in an excellent young man like you."

On Houcheng, Lu Desheng and Lu Songli were also having a meal.

After the meal, the servants served them tea.

The father and daughter talked while drinking.

"Tuoba Xun returned to Shengle in person." After saying this, Lu Desheng said again, "Daughter, what do you think the result will be in the afternoon?"

"He will agree to our conditions." When the plan was decided, Lu Songli was 90% sure. Now, with the promotion of many parties, the matter has been carried out until now, and in her eyes, it has become a foregone conclusion.

At first, Tuoba Lian was captured alive by Liaodong County. For Liaodong County, Tuoba Lian was indeed a hot potato for Dali.

It’s a pity to throw it away, but it’s hot to hold it, and there are still future problems.

Sure enough, trouble soon emerged - the Xianbei royal court threatened, and Liaodong County refused to let anyone go, so it went south to flatten the entire Liaodong County!

Liaodong County is in crisis.

What others see is a crisis and danger that makes people scalp tingling, while Lu Songli sees the opportunity!

Lu Songli analyzed the three forces involved in the crisis.

First of all, the Xianbei Khan was a very ambitious grassland overlord. He might not be willing to launch troops to move south at this time, but his son had to save him.

Let’s look at the other two parties, Liaodong County and Dali Dynasty. For them, the little prince who captured the Xianbei alive and was threatened? It’s really outrageous! If they just let the people go in vain, would they still have the face?

Under that premise, the two sides are in a stalemate and the war will really be about to break out.

When Lu Songli saw it, everyone might not want to fight, but if no one could give him a step, they would have to fight.

Therefore, the key to solving the crisis in Liaodong is that there is someone who is willing to provide a step for the Xianbei royal court, the Dali emperor, and the Liaodong county.

How can I give this step so that everyone can accept it? This is the question Lu Songli had to consider before.

Not only should we take care of Tuoba Khan's face, but we should also take into account the face of Dali.

The peace treaty was what she thought of.

In fact, Lu Songli felt that there were probably many people who thought of using Tuoba Lian to force the Xianbei to sign a peace treaty, but if they used Tuoba Lian to force the Xianbei to accept it, the other party probably would not accept it. Even if they accepted it, it would take a long negotiation.

Then the opportunities belonging to them, Qin and Lu families will be gone.

So Lu Songli's solution is to openly sign a peace treaty and privately reveal it to the Xianbei royal court. They can find a reason to tear the treaty after signing it.

This is a non-restrained treaty.

In this way, Tuoba Khan took care of his face.

Whether it is not going south for three years or five years, a vain promise to exchange his son back will give him great face, and Tuoba Khan will be satisfied.

For the new emperor Song Mo, a Tuoba Lian was exchanged for Tuoba Khan's promise not to go south for three years, which was very good at demonstrating the emperor's majesty.

For Liaodong County, it is very cost-effective to exchange for three years of peace with a Tuoba Lian.

Look, this is the solution she came up with. She is worthy of being her, she has been professionally solving the pain points of customers for 30 years.

In fact, in this situation, everyone lost only one Tuoba Lian on Dali, and the Xianbei only got one Tuoba Lian.

She planned all the benefits to her.

Don’t blame her for taking power. Without the protection of force, any peace agreement may actually be a piece of nothing.
