Obviously, Yuan Gaisu also had this consideration, and he actually fell into that kid's place step by step, and nodded in recognition of the small accounts before, but now it's a huge amount of money."
This method doesn't work, my Goguryeo people also need to live, and paying every year will make the already poor people even worse, please say the second plan."
Du Shaoqing smiled knowingly, knowing that he would not agree, the person opposite was a smart man, "The second one is simple, if Goguryeo can't come up with money and grain, you can also use the land to discount, to put it simply, you sell a piece of land to Datang as compensation for the price."
It's almost half of Yingzhou's size, and the price I offer is absolutely fair. ”"How is this possible for you?"
Yuan Gaisu pointed at Du Shaoqing and asked."
Huh?
How?
Think the site is too big?
Then you can also give a part of the money and cut a part of the land, so that it is easy to talk about and discuss, and the business is a fair deal. ”Du Shaoqing said with a smile.Yuan Gaisu's face changed, "Okay, well, it turns out that you are fighting for this purpose, and if you want to get my Goguryeo land, then even if you lead the troops to attack and fight well, why do you need to detour?"
It is absolutely impossible for us to give it up. ”Wei Zheng stood up, he felt that it was his turn to interject, "Okay, Du Juma, the old man has already said that these Goguryeo barbarians don't know how to be gracious, what to say, they can only solve it by force, don't talk about it, fight over, we can just get it ourselves if we need anything." ”Du Shaoqing hurriedly persuaded him, turned his head and persuaded Yuan Gaisu: "Big Lu, you can't say that, how can you give it up?"
You sent 50,000 elite prisoners, it was not that we went to your country to arrest them, nor did I Datang deliberately bully neighboring countries.These 50,000 are all elite soldiers, if there is really a war, without these 50,000 troops, I'm afraid it will not be difficult for us to take down such a large territory as Yingzhou, so please go back to Lu and discuss with King Rongliu, do you want people or land?
”Then he whispered in the other party's ear: "If the land is gone, you can occupy it in the future, your 50,000 elites can't be increased in a while and a half, killing them is to cut off the 50,000 families of Goguryeo, and you will think about Lu Sansi." ”Although these words were whispered, Du Shaoqing only warned and did not avoid people, and Wei Zheng and Li Ke also heard it.Yuan Gaisu's face was pale, and he also knew in his heart that these 50,000 lives were death, and finally took a deep look at Du Shaoqing, and dropped a sentence: "Give me five days to go back and discuss, and don't kill any more prisoners during this period." ”Du Shaoqing laughed: "Of course, these are all bargaining chips we use in exchange for compensation, and I will take care of it."
Da Xiang Lu also asked him to go back and negotiate it, dismantle the Jingguan, plus compensation, and settle it at one time.You've been here three times, and the patience of the generals on our side has been worn out.Goguryeo can be paid off at once, I believe in your strength, and you don't have to pay for it from the treasury, and you don't have to loot the people.Big pair Lu can know my Weishui Alliance of the Tang Dynasty?
”Wei Zheng opened his mouth to remind: "Donkey, be careful!
”"Afraid of what?
The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and there is no shame in buying his life with money, His Majesty scavenged all the money of the nobles of Chang'an in exchange for the peace of the Eastern Turks, how is it now?
Jieli's grave grass has been changed several times, so the temporary gain and loss is nothing.It can be seen that Da Zheng Lu is also a heroic person, I think as the prime minister of a country, his courage will not be small. ”Looking at Du Shaoqing's appearance of hiding a knife in his smile, Yuan Gaisu didn't say a word, snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves away, and scolded in his heart, this Tang Dynasty horse is simply a profiteer, this last suggestion is a desperate plan, it is more difficult to do than cutting the land, and he will offend all the Goguryeo nobles, this is not a suggestion, this is a poisonous plan to trap people.Seeing Du Shaoqing break the deadlock alone, and let the other party recognize the amount of compensation in full, Wei Zheng and the others gave Du Shaoqing a thumbs up after Yuan Gaisu left."
I hope that the people sent by the other party next time will not be delayed with us, otherwise in a few days, the envoy of Chang'an will come, and I am afraid that something will happen again."
He didn't know that at this time, the envoy Wang Si was already in the carriage on the road, and he had deduced his wording almost five times, Wang Si thought in his heart that he must admit his mistake with a speechless face full of shame in what Goguryeo Junchen said, and he didn't know what his expression would be when this Ministry of Rites Shangshu got Wei Zheng's conclusion.King Rongliu of Goguryeo has long been hollowed out by his subordinates Lu Yuan Gaisu, and he has been planning since Yuan Gaisu's father Yuan Taizuo served as the Great Emperor Lu, and now Yuan Gaisu, a hero, is on the throne, and the natural means are even more sophisticated, and King Rongliu has existed in name only.When the ministers heard that they were going to cede the land and pay compensation to the Tang Dynasty, they all sternly refused, and blamed Yuan Gaisu, but when the great pair Lu threw the lives of 50,000 elite soldiers and prisoners, no one spoke, and without this 50,000 army, Goguryeo was a tiger with teeth pulled out during this period.The rest of the 150,000 troops were still farming at home and harvesting crops, and the reason why they proposed five days was either to discuss the issue of admitting compensation, or to quickly gather troops to defend against the enemy."
What?
No one is talking?
Is it war or peace?
If there is a war, then the official will order the soldiers and horses to fight to the death, we can block the million army of Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and presumably we can also block the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but after this battle, I am afraid that Goguryeo will need at least five or even ten years of recuperation.If so, then discuss how to compensate the other party, in any case, the 50,000 elite soldiers must be redeemed, and we still have to count on them to expand the territory. ”With Yuan Gaisu's words, the hundred officials below finally moved, and a henchman saw the intention of the big pair of Lu Zhuhe, and took the initiative to stand up and say: "Great pair of Lu, the lives of the soldiers and the people are the most important, it is better to take some silver money out to redeem the soldiers, so that the people will definitely be grateful to our court, and we will not suffer a loss." ”"Yes, big Lu, I'll agree to make peace, and forget about losing some money."
Nodding, Yuan Gaisu said: "Since this is the case, let's discuss how to make up enough for the other party, Datang is a lion with a big mouth, and he threatens the life of a prisoner, we can't help it." ”After some calculations, the financial officials of Goguryeo pointed out that the Tang Dynasty was asking for a sky-high price, and there was definitely not so much, but he couldn't calculate the specific amount, so he had no choice but to stop thinking about the counteroffer, and the other party said that this was the last time to bargain."
Big pair Lu, since the other party said that he wanted a discount on the land, only said the size of the area, and did not specify the city, it is better to give them the Fuyu City in the northwest corner of our northwest corner at the junction with the Khitan, the Yan Ya, and the Murowei, that place does not, and is often beaten by these barbarians, it is really worthless."
Hearing this, Yuan Gaisu's heart moved, it was a good idea, and it was best to discard a useless piece of land.In the end, after the court meeting, the Buyeo City in the northwest of Goguryeo was ceded to the Tang Dynasty, and after the discount, it could be deducted from seventy percent of the indemnity money and grain, and according to the agreement, those piles of Jingguan could be worth one percent of the compensation, and the other two percent of the Goguryeo treasury was taken out to make up for it.
