Du Qi flicked his sleeves, shook his head and said: "Wei Xiang, I will not agree to your conditions. If you just put forward such conditions, there is no need to proceed with this negotiation. What a mere Liangzhou." Don't worry. I don't need the Liangzhou given by the Tang Dynasty, I can take it back myself."
Wei Zheng's eyes were already wide open, and he looked a little angry. He took a deep breath and said, "Emperor Xia, I, Tang Dynasty, have already offered the most sincere terms, and you are clearly trying to find fault with your refusal now. If this is the case, it will be really difficult for this negotiation to proceed." Emperor Xia, what are your conditions? If Emperor Xia is willing to negotiate peace, please give the conditions. If Emperor Xia is unwilling to negotiate peace, you can simply refuse. We will immediately return to Chang'an and inform His Majesty to prepare for war and fight Xia Guo to the death. in the end."
Du Qi saw that Wei Zheng was a little angry, but he smiled lightly. This is the most normal situation in the negotiation, and he could even judge that Wei Zheng's anger was just a feign.
Just confuse him.
? I hope Du Qi will give the bottom line.
However, Du Qi's bottom line was already thought out, so he didn't care about Wei Zheng's words, and said: "Wei Xiang, since you are talking about this, I don't bother to go around with you anymore, and I will give you a summer." The bottom line of the country. Datang asked for peace, and I can agree to it for your sake. Xia Guo¡¯s conditions are very simple, Datang cedes the entire Longyou Dao, and I will cease the war.¡±
"No, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Shangguanyi stood up, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, our Great Xia Kingdom now has all the advantages, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and everyone is full of fighting spirit, and they are all looking forward to the first battle. At this time, a mere Longyou Dao is nothing to worry about. To reassure the soldiers and stop the fighting, at least it should take out the Longyou Dao, Gyeonggi Dao, and Guannei Dao of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty should move the capital. Leaving the pass, the entire pass must be handed over to Xia Guo."
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Ma Zhou also stood up and spoke.
The rest of the people echoed.
All of them were aggressive, and they looked like they would never give up.
Du Qi smiled heartily.
Shangguanyi and others really seized the opportunity. To be honest, it is definitely impossible for Li Shimin to hand over Gyeonggi Province, or even Guannei Province, and to move the capital to leave Chang'an. But right now they are negotiating, saying such a condition can just force Wei Zheng, and it also shows the attitude of the entire Xia Kingdom.
Wei Zheng scolded the old fox in his heart.
A group of old foxes.
All are taking this opportunity to force them to submit.
Du Qi looked at Wei Zheng, with a helpless look, and said: "Wei Xiang, you have seen the appearance of everyone in our Xia Kingdom. Today, everyone in the Xia Kingdom is the main fighter, and they all want to fight to the end. No People are willing to truce, but no one is willing to stop fighting, in fact, it is difficult to satisfy everyone if I ask Datang to come up with the Longyou Dao."
Du Qi said: "But for the sake of your Prime Minister Wei, I will not change what I said. I still agree with the previous conditions. As long as the Tang Dynasty cedes the entire Longyou Dao, my Xia Kingdom can no longer Attack. If Datang is not even willing to agree to this condition, then Xia Guo will definitely fight to the death."
Wei Zheng frowned, because Xia Guojun and his ministers played the double reed, and it was clear that they deliberately set up a scheme to plot against them.
The situation is not easy!
After all, the entire Longyou Dao is also extremely critical to the Tang Dynasty, especially the Longyou Dao is the barrier to the west of the Tang Dynasty. Once Du Qi obtained the entire Longyou Dao, then Du Qi could attack, retreat or defend, and could threaten the safety of Datang at any time.
This is an extremely unfavorable condition.
Wei Zheng looked at Kong Yingda, hoping that Kong Yingda would express his opinion, but now Kong Yingda shook his head, looking embarrassed. Because at the moment, this situation is very unfavorable.
Seeing this, Wei Zheng said, "Emperor Xia, it is definitely impossible to cede Longyou Dao. It involves the entire Longyou Dao, such a huge area, it is absolutely impossible. If I, Tang, agree to this condition , on the contrary, it is better to fight to the death. At least, it is worth it to cut off two taels of flesh from Xia Guo."
Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, let's fight. I want to see how Datang cut two ounces of flesh from Xia Guo's body. It's not easy. Wait and see! I won't make things difficult for you , please go back."
Wei Zheng froze in place immediately.
Du Qi refused to back down, which was not good for them. Especially in today's Tang Dynasty, there are internal and external troubles. If there is no Xia Guo's attack, even if there are internal and external troubles, there is nothing to fear. The problem is that Xia Guo is too powerful. With Xia Guo here, the situation will be very difficult to handle, and it will easily lead to the collapse of the entire Tang Dynasty. It is necessary to stabilize the Tang Dynasty.
Wei Zheng looked at Kong Yingda, but Kong Yingda also shook his head helplessly, looking helpless.
The current situation is very unfavorable.
Wei Zheng's thoughts turned quickly, and he suddenly said: "Xia Huang, I, Tang, sincerely came to seek peace. Now Xia Huang's request is beyond my scope. Right now, it is really difficult for me to make a decision. , I dare not make a decision. However, my Xia Kingdom is really willing to seek peace. So at this time, I ask the Emperor Xia to give me some time, and I will immediately arrange for someone to return to Chang'an to ask His Majesty. During this period, I am willing to stay in Zhangye The county seat. Whether it succeeds or not, Emperor Xia will give an explanation."
Du Qi's mind turned.
It would be best for Xia Guo if he could directly take down the entire Longyou Dao without spending a single soldier. Because Du Qi conquered Longyou Dao, and Li Shimin ceded Longyou Dao, the effect is completely different.
But Du Qi said with a smile: "Wei Xiang, why should I promise you?"
Wei Zheng straightened his neck, and said directly: "If Emperor Xia is not willing, then go to war. I, Wei Zheng, have been loyal to the emperor so far, and I have no regrets. Emperor Xia, everything depends on your decision. It is up to the people to make things happen. God, at least Wei tried his best."
Du Qi said: "Forget it, I grant your request."
"Thank you Emperor Xia!"
Wei Zheng said: "Farewell, I will make arrangements immediately." He looked at Kong Yingda, nodded, then turned around and left with Kong Yingda, leaving only Shangguanyi and others in the camp.
Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty, this may be Wei Zheng's delaying strategy. Because this time, maybe half a month has passed, or even longer. Such a long period of time, Li Shimin is enough to continue Raise soldiers against us."
Du Qi said: "If Li Shimin goes all out to fight us, then he will not be able to stabilize the situation in Tubo, Turkic, Goguryeo, etc., or even the domestic situation. Today's Li Shimin is suffering from internal and external troubles, with many conflicts."
"So right now, we don't need to worry about anything. What's more, if we can seize Longyou Dao without bloodshed, it will be a good deal. Therefore, I hope that Li Shimin can cede the entire Longyou Dao. You must know that Li Shimin ceded Longyou Dao in order to survive. On the right, if the news spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, it would be a fatal blow to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin's prestige would also be hit like never before."
"As for the future war with Datang and when it will start, that is our decision, not Li Shimin's decision."
After a pause, Du Qi continued: "The most important thing is that we can't do anything now. Now you immediately mobilize bad people, and spread the news throughout Longyou Road, saying that Li Shimin has taken the initiative to seek peace, and at the same time consider After the news spreads throughout Longyou Dao, it will inevitably cause great turmoil. For us, this is also an opportunity to attract people's hearts."
Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Ma Zhou also said: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, I admire you."
Everyone agrees with Du Qi's analysis, because at the moment, this is the most cost-effective arrangement, with no harm at all. It is extremely cost-effective to seize the entire Longyou Dao without any effort. As for whether to truce with Datang, that is another matter. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
