Chapter 483 You Can Give It a Try
Tuoba Yu:...Good boy, he doesn’t want them to have a fight and give him the benefits they negotiated for, right?
Lu Desheng will soon realize what he is thinking!
Tuoba Yu looked at Prince Gong and asked, "Shall we talk first?"
Prince Gong nodded and said, "Let's go over there and talk."
The officials of Dali cleared out another place, which was far away from the location of Pingzhou's power.
Lu Desheng raised his eyebrows. Is he on guard against him? That's rare.
The Dali officials, led by Prince Gong, and the Xianbei negotiation team went aside to renegotiate, while Pingzhou was concentrating on treating the wounded.
Lu Desheng took a cup of hot water and drank it slowly to calm himself.
The negotiation site between Dali and Xianbei was far away from them, so they couldn't hear what they were saying. However, because it was a temporary structure, there was no obstruction. Those with good eyesight could see their expressions.
Lu Desheng noticed that Prince Gong's brows were tightly furrowed, his entire face wrinkled into a ball, and he looked extremely miserable.
He drank hot water and shook his head. Song Mo was committing a sin. He made such a good man so difficult. Tsk tsk.
At this time, Prince Gong was indeed heartbroken.
"Prince Gong, you Dali need to cede the northern border, Liangzhou, and Youzhou to us. Then we Xianbei will withdraw our troops, return Yanmen and Daijun in Bingzhou, and sign a ten-year armistice."
To be honest, Prince Gong had no objection to ceding Youzhou.
Now that Lu Desheng has rebelled, they want to expand their territory and will inevitably fight with the Xianbei.
At this time, Prince Gong did not think that Tuoba Lian was worth much. During the negotiation just now, Tuoba Yu had said that Tuoba Lian's value was to create a negotiation opportunity for Dali.
"Prince Yu, didn't we already agree to cede two states?" Prince Gong said hurriedly.
"There's a prerequisite for us to discuss this condition, which is that our Seventh Prince is in the hands of your Dali. We still have to go talk to Lu Desheng later, and we don't know what conditions Lu Desheng will propose. Is asking for one more state not too much?"
Tuoba Yu easily agreed to return the two places that Dali valued most to them.
Yanmen and Daijun, if the Xianbei could take it the first time, they can take it the second time.
"If Dali doesn't agree, we can take it ourselves."
Prince Gong was heartbroken. The Xianbei army marched south from five directions, winning four and losing one, so he was indeed qualified to say such things. Moreover, Tuoba Yu said such things, which clearly showed that he thought Pingzhou was stronger than them.
Before he set off, the emperor emphasized to him that Bingzhou must not be lost and must not be occupied by the Xianbei.
Now Yanmen and Daijun of Bingzhou are going to be returned, but they have to give up three states. In addition, Lu Desheng and Pingzhou rebelled against Dali, so this round means that Dali has lost four states!
The territory of Dali was equivalent to having both ears cut off, and Prince Gong's heart was bleeding.
"I can't make the decision on this matter." Prince Gong wanted to use the tactic of procrastination.
Tuoba Yu's expression changed instantly. "We've talked about it once or twice, and you think we're here to play house with you?"
Prince Gong quickly explained, "I need to consult our emperor."
Tuoba Yu was not convinced and said in a bad tone, "For such a big negotiation, the people sent by the Emperor of Dali can't make the decision? Are you, Dali, playing tricks on us?"
As he said this, he stood up, looking like he was ready to start a fight if they had a disagreement.
Prince Gong knew very well that Tuoba Yu was forcing him to make a decision.
Prince Gong really wanted to start a war, but Sun Ming just said that he didn't have the ability to fight two enemies at once. If they fought the Xianbei, they could eventually retreat to Yuyang County. With the strategic location of the city, they should be able to withstand the attacks of the two Xianbei armies.
But if this happens, the other two places will be in danger.
Lu Desheng, the sinner!
If he did not rebel, the Sun family army and the Pingzhou soldiers could have counterattacked the Xianbei.
Now that Prince Gong knew the strength of the Pingzhou soldiers, his heart was filled with bitterness and torment.
"I, Prince Gong, agree on behalf of Dali to cede the northern border, Liangzhou, and Youzhou to the Xianbei royal court." After saying this, Prince Gong staggered. He knew very well that after this Pinggang negotiation, he would definitely become a sinner of Dali.
Tuoba Yu patted his shoulder and said, "That's right."
Lu Desheng looked towards the negotiation site frequently. He was really curious about what kind of demands the Xianbei side had put forward that would make Prince Gong look like the sky had fallen?
Chen Yue, who was standing nearby, realized that Lord Lu seemed very interested in the negotiations between Dali and Xianbei, so he said, "Lord Lu, I probably know what they discussed."
Chen Yue, as a county official, had also come to the negotiations, primarily to organize negotiation materials and assist Lord Lu. He hadn't anticipated such a thrilling event during the negotiations, and it should be said that none of the Pingzhou officials who had accompanied him had anticipated such a turn of events.
To be honest, he is still confused now, but it does not stop him from working.
Lu Desheng looked at Chen Yue, curious about how he knew what Prince Gong and the others had talked about.
"I can tell what the other person is saying by the shape of his lips when he speaks." Chen Yue said reservedly.
Lv Desheng: That sounds impressive. I never thought there were such talented people in Pingzhou.
"Tell me quickly, what did they talk about?"
Chen Yue told him what he knew, but unfortunately Tuoba Yu was facing sideways to him, so he could only see three-quarters of his face and could not hear what he said.
Lu Desheng felt that this was enough.
Tuoba Yu led the other members of the Xianbei negotiation team over.
Lu Desheng: "Have you reached an agreement with the imperial court?"
"Um."
"Then come on." Lu Desheng stood up. They had also set up a new negotiation location.
Prince Gong thought about it and followed, but was stopped by the people from Pingzhou.
He looked at Lu Desheng, but Lu Desheng ignored him.
After both parties sat down, Lü Desheng asked, "What conditions did you Xianbei and Dali negotiate?"
Tuoba Yu: ...Is this something I can ask?
They all avoided him and talked just now. Does he understand?
Tuoba Yu first experienced Lu Desheng's shamelessness and said, "This is confidential."
Lu Desheng curled his lips and said nothing.
"What price are you Xianbei going to pay to redeem your seven princes?"
What Lu Desheng meant was, name a price, let me hear it.
Tuoba Lian was hanging not far away. Hearing this, he almost burst into tears. Finally, finally, he was going to be rescued.
He looked at his uncle eagerly.
Tuoba Yu didn't look at him, but said, "If you give Longcheng to us Xianbei and release Tuoba Lian, we, the Xianbei royal court, promise not to attack your Pingzhou in the next ten years."
Lu Desheng dug his ears, unable to believe what he heard. "Tuoba Yu, do I look like a fool to you?"
"Lord Lu, you have rebelled against Dali. The Emperor of Dali will not let you and your Pingzhou go. If we, the Xianbei, attack your Pingzhou again, are you sure you can withstand it?"
"You can try it." Lu Desheng said proudly.
No matter how panicked you are inside, you can't show cowardice on the surface.
