Chapter 532 Interlocking Diplomatic Victory
Notha Yanshou slapped the Minister of Finance in the face and cursed angrily: "If you guys weren't greedy for money, how could we fall into the current situation of being in a difficult situation?
Now you are still calculating money? Without the big Lu, you will govern the country? Do you think that without the big Lu, how many years can Goguryeo survive under the power of the Tang Dynasty?"
After cursing, Nossa Yanshou turned his head and asked the Khitan and the King of the Marine Kingdom: "You helped to capture Huaiyuan Pass and Liaodong City. What do you think?"
The two looked at each other, and the Khitan general replied: "We wanted to redeem people with money, but the country had no money, so we had no choice but to send troops to fight. If two cities could be exchanged for envoys, we would have no objection.
But if the other party asks us to pay after handing over the city, then we must not. We would rather not envoy than pay them money."
...After hearing the two of them, everyone in Goguryeo recalled what Park Piaole said yesterday, and they all complained in their hearts. Why are we so stupid that we asked Datonglu to go on a mission?
"Okay, since that's the case, Pu Piaole, you go and discuss with the other party. We can exchange Huaiyuan Pass and Liaodong City for Beisha City, and exchange 60,000 prisoners for envoys. Since it is an equal replacement for prisoners, we will naturally not use money to redeem people. Tell them that this is our bottom line."
Park Piaole took the order and went on a mission again. He had no objection to this decision. After all, negotiations were just about going back and forth. He also admired the general's decisiveness and agreed to the other party's statement of changing cities.
When he came to Tangying again, he learned to be smart and went up to ask for a meeting with great humility. He was soon taken in by Du Gou.
"What? Don't you lose money? How can there be such a good thing in the world? Our 40,000 soldiers died in vain? Did you burn our national treasure in vain?" Du Gou was angry.
Park Piaole shook his head and said, "We also have soldiers' losses. Since you and I are equally replacing prisoners, we should not pay any ransoms. Even if we are worth a lot of money than your two generals, if you are not saving the 60,000 army, if this matter is spread, it will probably harm you more. Therefore, we cannot agree to the ransom.
The two kings and generals of Khitan and Martre also said that if they were asked to pay for redeem, they would rather start a war than pay for it.”
Du Gou laughed furiously and said coldly: "Haha, you seem to have forgotten that you are just surrounding our army, not captives, and exchange prisoners equally? Unless you go to the city to capture our general now, you will naturally have an equal relationship between you and me at that time, now!
There is only one situation. We actually don’t care about the life or death of these cities in Liaodong. Anyway, they were stolen from you. But if you don’t agree to our conditions, there will be only one result, which is to kill people and sacrifice flags, and the army starts war. There are only heroes who died in battle in the Tang Dynasty, and no humiliated prisoners.
Tell Notha that he still has one more day, and if he can't make a decision, we can help him."
After saying that, Du Gou turned around and went out, and a quarter of an hour later, he came back with a box and a letter.
"I think I can help him by bringing this gift and letter back to Nossa Yanshou, so I said that we, Dashuai Li, gave it to him."
Park Piaole was curious about what it was, but he knew the rules, so he didn't take it apart and could only go back with the gift obediently. He sighed in his heart that since ancient times, weak countries have no diplomacy. Goguryeo is no less weak than the Tang Dynasty in name, but in fact it is more than one step away. Moreover, the command of the prisoner replacement this time was wrong, so he should not surround and not attack. If the prisoner was in hand, it would definitely not be so unfavorable for diplomacy.
"What is this? Will Li Jing be kind to give me a gift?"
Notha Yanshou opened the box in doubt and looked at it, hiss!
The officials around all took a step back, and there was a finger inside, still bleeding, obviously it was just cut off.
With a gloomy face, Notha Yanshou opened the letter. This was Li Jing's handwritten letter and only said one thing: This is from Yuangaimao. You have repeatedly bargained for too much and ignored me. We are patient. First, we will give a finger as a gift for meeting. If you don't see your sincerity tomorrow, then I will give you Yuangaisuwen. When you still hold on to the future, there is no need to talk about it. I will give you a bunch of heads.
...
"Ah! Li Jing is too bullying..."
Notha's longevity is going crazy. The other party is not a prisoner change, but a threat. Hongguoguo's threat is too shameless.
Park Piaole stepped forward and advised, "General, the official thought we should agree to his conditions. Although we were at a loss, it was important to rescue Da Lu. In fact, we also took back the four cities of Liaodong and gave an explanation to the people. At least one big battle was not futile."
The Minister of Finance was about to go forward and express his dissatisfaction. Notha Yanshou pulled out his waist and put it on his neck and shouted, "That's it. Who dares to oppose me chopping him? I will discuss everything when I save Da Ge Lu. Da Ge Lu will cause any damage to him. I will kill you one by one."
At this time, the Khitan and the Master of the Martial Arts said anxiously: "No, we don't have money to give them. If it's really not possible, we don't want this prisoner."
Nossa Yanshou glared at his eyes and sneered: "Didn't you say you want to sell us Jian'an City, Anshi City and Jili City in your hands?
We will pay your money for you, so we will take it as the cost of you to build a city for me, Goguryeo."
The two kings looked at each other and felt speechless. They thought you were really good at calculating, but when they looked at the look of Nossa Yanshou's eyes, they nodded and agreed. The two countries had betrayed the Tang Dynasty. If they had fallen out with Goguryeo again, they would really not be able to get along in the future.
When Park Piaole arrived at the Tang camp for the third time and signed the documents for the replacement of prisoners with a contract, the Tang Dynasty was almost shocked. What was the matter really settled? Not only did it exchange the soldiers and generals, but even two cities were brought back? The other party also had to pay a ransom. In this way, the Tang Dynasty lost four cities and lost 40,000 soldiers and horses under the joint attack of the Three Kingdoms. The result was much better than His Majesty's expected result.
Li Jing sighed: "In ancient times, Guigu's genres are unique in the world. Today, the Du family's Dalang's diplomatic victory is enough to prove that Zhongnan Academy has restored its glory to Guigu's genres."
All the generals in the camp were convinced by the words of the Great Commander, because the Tang Dynasty was bluffing this time, and everyone only did one thing, that is, all their actions were followed by the command of the two people of Honglu Temple, and everything they did was to do step by step and create diplomatic advantages until they won the negotiation.
Unexpectedly, after five days of agreement, the prisoner was replaced, and Notha Yanshou actually broke the agreement again, and Li Jing was about to get angry and questioned.
In the end, he received a laughing and crying news. Cheng Niu and the others were cautious in protecting themselves and refused to believe it. Unfortunately, Li Jing had to send Tang Jian and Du Gou to Beisha City together.
