    Guo Tu said angrily: "Your country has a good plan. If you plan like this, there is no need to continue this negotiation. The land that the soldiers of Great Qin bought with their blood will never be given away. If  If you really want to return those lands, let¡¯s meet on the battlefield!¡± Seeing the Qin people being so determined, Tago was also surprised. He originally thought that the Qin people proposed peace talks because they had difficulties in having to negotiate.  But at this time, it seems that the Qin people are not very unified.  At the very least, some people want the war to continue.  And the senior officials of Da Qin are not afraid of war.  It's a pity that until now, he still can't figure out the real purpose of the Qin people. Why did the Qin people, who had the advantage on the battlefield, choose peace talks?  Is it true, as they say, that they can't bear the blood of the soldiers anymore?  Although Tai Ge was not sure of the Qin people's plans, he still said: "You invaded our country for no reason, occupied our land, and massacred our people. Can we tolerate such a thing? Kushan's land  , It belongs to the Kushan people. What right do you have to take him away? " Jiang Gan sneered: "I remember that the ancestors of the Kushan people were defeated by the Xiongnu and moved westward.  It was not yours originally. It was just occupied by you." Gola Khan said coldly: "In this case, how should we explain the Nanman people in your country and how should we argue about this issue?  , It seems to have no practical significance for the negotiation. It is our general's responsibility to lose the land. But your country should also make certain concessions if the war continues.  It will perish, but before it perishes, I believe that your country will pay a heavy price, and your occupied area will no longer be peaceful." Lu Zhi and Lu Cheng's expressions changed. This is a threat, and it is red.  A naked threat.  They both knew it too.  The defense in the area occupied by Da Qin was too weak.  And the vast majority of defensive soldiers.  They are all new recruits.  The last time Kuishang's army went deep into the country, covering thousands of miles, it was like entering an uninhabited country.  Even though Da Qin sent four generals including Zhao Yun, they still could not completely wipe out this army in the end.  The commander of Kushan probably also summed up a lot of experience from that war.  If they want to do it again next time.  If you want to destroy them, I'm afraid it won't be easy.  Once the bloodline is cut off, Da Qin will inevitably be in trouble, and the outcome of this war will be difficult to say.  Thinking of this, the Lu brothers were about to have a fit when they saw Jiang Gan chuckle and said: "What is negotiation? Talk and bargain. We can also make some concessions. But this concession will never be too big. I, Da Qin,  Soldiers, everything we have gained with our blood and lives, we will never give up easily. This is our bottom line, a bottom line that cannot be shaken. At least Da Qin now has an absolute advantage, and I think Da Qin's soldiers will not mind losing more.  Some blood. I heard that Balihei is very prosperous, which can be described as magnificent. I think the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty would be very willing to go there, herd horses in the prosperous palace, and enjoy the life of the Kushan nobles.  " Tai Ge's face was ugly. He was so shrewd that he couldn't hear the threat in Qin Ren's words.  I just hate that the soldiers on the front line are so unsatisfactory. Even if they can hit the Qin people hard, it will be good.  At the very least, I don't have to be so passive at the negotiating table.  He pondered for a moment and said: "Let's not argue about this issue for now. I want to know your conditions." Jiang Gan glanced at Guo Tu.  Seeing the other party nodding, he took out a silk book from his arms.  He read: "The conditions for Da Qin's withdrawal of troops are: first, Guishan must compensate Da Qin for military expenses of 10 million taels of silver, or pay with corresponding gold according to Da Qin's gold and silver exchange ratio. Second, the two sides must sign a non-aggression agreement.  The agreement should specify the number of people on the border between the two sides to avoid further disputes. Third, Guishang must open the border to allow Daqin merchants to do business; similarly, based on the principle of fairness, Daqin border will also be opened to allow Kushan merchants to enter.  Fourth, allow Da Qin merchants to build factories in Guishang and recruit Kushan people. At the same time, the two countries will establish embassies and send officials to stay. Fifth, on the issue of prisoners of war, Da Qin will release 30,000 Guishang prisoners of war. I hope your country will do a good job.  Prepare to receive." At this point, Jiang Gan glanced at the Kushan people across from him with different expressions and nodded to Guo Tu.  Guo Tu pondered for a moment and said: "As for the territorial issue, in order to show our sincerity, we can retreat five hundred miles. This is our country's bottom line. If your country is still not satisfied, then let's talk about it on the battlefield."  His face was ugly. Da Qin's armistice conditions were not too outrageous, but from a long-term perspective, they were not very beneficial to Kuishang's development, especially the establishment of a factory.  The people of Great Qin are mainly engaged in industry and commerce, but Guishang is an out-and-out agricultural country.  The Qin people can build large factories in Guishang, but Guishang may not be able to build factories on the Qin people's chassis.  What seemed like an equal agreement was actually a big advantage for the Qin people.  What's even more despicable is that Qin Rendi's factory is likely to directly use Guishang's handicrafts.As a result, Guishang will become a dumping ground for Da Qin's products. Over time, it will inevitably become a vassal of Da Qin.  As for the compensation of 10 million taels of silver, this is secondary. It may have a certain impact on Kushan at present, but from a long-term perspective, it does not matter much.  Thinking of this, he glanced at the people around him and prepared to speak.  There are not many people as smart as Tago, otherwise Kushan would not be where it is today.  These people paid more attention to the compensation of 10 million taels of silver. As for things like opening a factory, they didn't care too much.  In their opinion, opening a factory is a good thing. It will make it easier for them to buy luxury goods from Daqin, and the price should be much cheaper. At the same time, it can also increase a lot of tax revenue. Why not?  Gola Khan spoke before Tago: "Such an issue is not something we can decide. We need to report it to Your Majesty. In addition, your country's appetite is too big. Ten million taels of silver is not what you want."  Is it possible to empty out our country¡¯s treasury? In addition, it seems that the issue of opening factories in our country should not be included in the negotiations. This is not directly related to this war and should be discussed in future negotiations.¡±  At these words, Tago nodded slightly and thought to himself: This is a good statement.  This is exactly the truth.  Not only does it harm the peace, but it also delays the construction of the factory.  As for how long it will be delayed, it's hard to say.  Thinking of this section, a smile appeared on his lips.  He didn't realize that in addition to his extraordinary talent in the military, Gora Khan also performed well in politics. After this negotiation, he must transfer him to the center to participate in national affairs. Such a talent  , how can we let him bury it?  Guo Tu's expression changed. He did not expect that the other party would be so shrewd. In fact, those ten million taels of silver were dispensable to Da Qin.  The real key is to build factories.  Once a factory can be built in Kushan, the price of Daqin's products will be greatly reduced.  In this way, it won't take long to completely defeat Kushan's small-scale handicraft workshops, and then carry out economic aggression against Kushan and control Kushan's economic lifeline.  But the other party seems to have discovered their purpose. If it continues to be delayed, I don't know when this problem will be completely solved.  This is not a good thing for Da Qin.  Jiang Qian was also very anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the other party was unable to make a decision. It seemed that in order to achieve his goal, he still had to rely on military power.  Thinking of this, he nodded to Guo Tu and ended the negotiation.  Just when Tiger reported to Vesuthiva I, Lu Bu commanded the troops and launched a new round of offensive.  The Qin army was extremely powerful and completely occupied the second line of defense. At the same time, it attacked the only remaining third line of defense of the Kushan army to pieces, and it was possible to collapse at any time.  Faced with this situation, almost everyone in the Kushan Dynasty changed their faces.  The strength of the Qin people is too terrifying. Once the third line of defense collapses, Guishang may not be able to negotiate peace even if he wants to.  Since you can get more by using force than negotiating, why waste your words?  Vesudeva I, who had been frightened by the powerful Qin offensive, did not hesitate to order Taigo to agree to all the conditions proposed by the Qin people.  At the same time, Kadelfi was ordered to hold the third line of defense as much as possible and buy as much time as possible for negotiations.  At the same time, do not make extreme moves to anger the people of Qin and avoid intensifying conflicts between the two sides.  Tago was helpless. He was completely disappointed with Vesuthiva I.  First he is arrogant and arrogant, and then he is as fearful of his enemies as a rat.  He originally planned to let the Kushan army fight several beautiful counterattacks to increase Kushan's bargaining chips at the negotiation table.  But Vesudeva I's decision undoubtedly ruined Kushan's bargaining room at the negotiation table.  He also knew that Kushan was finished.  If Guishang cannot defeat Da Qin within fifty years, or can compete with Da Qin economically, then what awaits them is continuous encroachment and eventual annexation.  Lu Bu was not surprised at all by Guishang's compromise.  In fact, even if his troops did not retreat five hundred miles, Kushan would still sign an armistice agreement.  But the reason why he did this was also to ease the situation with Kushan.  In fact, he was really unwilling to do so. He wanted to establish martial arts even more glorious than Genghis Khan's, but he obviously couldn't compare to Genghis Khan.  But he is not in a hurry, Guishang will be included in the territory of Great Qin sooner or later.  What he has to do now is to appease the ministers who have been complaining about his militarism all day long, and to ease the domestic conflicts intensified by the war.  No matter what, no matter what the outcome, the war is finally over.
