Chapter 478: Okay, I rebelled against him
Lu Songli nodded, confirming his guess, "Well, he probably wants to make the best use of it. It would be best if you can win this negotiation." Dali benefits, the court benefits, and Song Mo benefits.
"What if we can't come to an agreement?" Anger was already evident in Lu Desheng's voice.
"Then he will probably give you trouble."
Lu Desheng cursed, "What a shameless person!" He asked him to be in charge of negotiations and fight for the interests of Dali, but he wanted to kill him later. It is not so realistic to abandon him after he has done his job!
The Qin brothers and Xue Xu thought that this was indeed quite shameless.
"Girl, what do you say we should do?" Lv Desheng now understood that Dali had deliberately set such a harsh negotiation bottom line, and this bottom line would definitely not satisfy the Xianbei royal court. There would be only one outcome for him.
"Dad, what do you think?" Lu Songli smiled meaningfully.
The father and daughter looked at each other.
Lu Desheng tentatively suggested, "Rebellion against him?"
The words of treason made the Qin brothers and Xue Xu's hearts jump!
Apart from this, Lu Desheng really had no other choice.
Just as the Empress Dowager often said, All under heaven is the king’s land; All within the four seas are the king’s subjects.
Now Song Mo wants to kill him, so he definitely can't just sit there and wait for death!
At this time, everyone in the conference room looked at Lu Songli.
Only then did they realize the purpose of Lu Songli calling them to attend this meeting.
"Okay, let's rebel against him!" Lu Songli said firmly.
"My daughter, are you really rebellious?"
"certainly!"
"Dad, don't be afraid. After we rebel, no matter how bad the situation is, it won't be worse than letting Song Mo slaughter us. Besides, our rebellion may not fail."
Lu Desheng was infected by his daughter's optimism and said, "Okay, then let's rebel against him!"
Lü Desheng muttered to himself, "Lü Desheng, my late emperor, this is not my fault. Look at what your good son has done. The world is so vast that there's no place for our Qin and Lü families. Since he's unkind, don't blame him for being unjust."
After deciding on the uprising, Lu Songli looked at Qin Heng and said, "Brother, our Lu family wants to rebel against the Song Dynasty. What do you think?"
Qin Yan, Qin Zhao and Qin Sheng all held their breath and looked at their eldest brother.
Qin Heng looked around and said simply, "Sixth sister-in-law, I agree."
"Second brother, third brother, sixth brother, it is obvious that as long as Song Mo is in power, the possibility of our Qin family being rehabilitated is very slim. I don't want my children to bear the identity of exiles in the future. Besides, what else does our Qin family have to lose? It's just a worthless life." Qin Heng smiled bitterly.
"Brother, since you've made up your mind, we'll follow you to the end! We're military commanders, and the worst that can happen is we'll die in battle!"
Lu Songli looked at Xue Xu and said, "Mr. Xue, this matter concerns your life and property. If you don't want to get involved in this mess, you can leave now."
At this time, everyone in the conference room looked at Xue Xu.
Here, apart from him, everyone has the surname Qin or Lu. The Qin and Lu families are relatives by marriage, so they are like grasshoppers on the same rope.
Xue Xu thought, what a joke, after learning such a secret, how could he just turn around and leave?
Listen carefully to her words. If he took her words seriously, his head would have moved several times.
And this moment was exactly what he had been waiting for. It actually happened, so why should he leave?
He wanted to let the Li people live with dignity, no longer be despised, no longer be called barbarians, and no longer have to hide in the mountains to survive!
Xue Xu took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to her, "If Madam Qin Liu doesn't mind, I'm willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"
Lu Songli stepped forward and gave him a helping hand. "Mr. Xue is too modest. We are truly fortunate to have Mr. Xue's help."
After everyone sat down again, Lu Songli said solemnly, "Then we need to plan carefully what to do next."
…
Pinggang was the seat of government of Youbeiping County.
The negotiations between Dali and the Xianbei royal court were scheduled to take place in Pinggang on November 25th.
The Pinggang negotiations attracted worldwide attention.
As the negotiation time drew closer, Youbeiping County became increasingly lively.
First, the Xianbei royal court transferred the first and third armies from Houcheng and Wencheng counties and stationed them in the north of Youbeiping County.
Afterwards, General Sun Ming led a large army north and stationed in Yuyang County, west of Youbeiping County.
Hou Cheng also secretly mobilized troops and stationed them to the east of Youbeiping County.
For a moment, flags were waving in the sky above Youbeiping County.
Lu Desheng has also been making relevant preparations for the negotiations recently, and he is still ready to go all out in the negotiations.
On November 25th, both negotiating parties were in place.
The negotiation team from Dali was headed by Lu Desheng, with Prince Gong, Lin Ran and Zuo Anmin as deputies.
On the Xianbei royal court side, Tuoba Khan's younger brother Tuoba Yu was the leader, assisted by Tuoba Xun, Dugu Zhong, Yuchi Rui and others.
Lu Desheng took a quick look and found that they were all old acquaintances.
The two sides began negotiations.
This was a very difficult negotiation, as the Xianbei royal court was very powerful due to its military force.
No matter how Dali negotiated, the other party insisted on the original conditions.
Lu Desheng couldn't help but say angrily, "You refuse to give in at all. You must know that of the Five Prefectures, you have only occupied one county each. No, you haven't even captured a single city in Pingzhou. Even under such circumstances, you insist on Dali ceding the Five Prefectures. Is this still negotiation? No need to talk, just start fighting!"
"Do you think we dare not?!" Tuoba Xun said arrogantly.
"Okay, you want to start a fight, right? Then let's kill someone first to sacrifice to the flag." Lu Desheng said lightly.
As soon as Lu Desheng finished speaking, Tuoba Lian, who was hanging, let out a scream.
When everyone looked over, they saw that Tuoba Lian's arm was bleeding profusely.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Tuoba Yu quickly said, "Lord Lu, the negotiations have just begun, and it was just a joke. Why are you so angry?"
Lu Desheng: "I understand what Prince Tuoba said. I was just joking, asking someone to test the knife to see if it's sharp enough."
Everyone: ...Your joke is a bit too bloody.
"We've joked with each other, so can we start now?" Lu Desheng asked calmly.
"Of course, let's get started."
