Chapter One Thousand and Fifty-Two

"Everyone, we must remember that every word we say casually may be seized by our negotiators, which will have a fatal impact on our next negotiations and damage the interests of our Tang Empire......

"So, watch more, listen more, and talk less, this is what any person who wants to become a good negotiator should do at the beginning......" Duan Dagongzi spat and star-studded for a long time, instead of making everyone have an epiphany as if they had been enlightened, everyone stared at Duan Dagongzi with a black line.

"Brother Shaojun, aren't you sick? Our brothers are here to support you, and things like negotiation should be done by yourself, so let's just stay and watch the excitement, can you be guilty of talking to us? Huda took out a small flask from his bosom reverently, took a sip of the wine, and stuffed it back again, and then said with a dissatisfied face.

“…… I said brother, having said that, you have to understand some basic things anyway. What's more...... Qi Da, bring a jar of wine, let's talk without drinking......" Duan Shaojun saw Hu Da's ghost Chong who was secretly drinking, and Li Zhonglang was going to fight with Zhang Heng for wine and drinking with this product there, so he simply asked Qi Da to bring the wine, so that these shameless people were busy grabbing wine and couldn't listen to their own words at all.

"Oh, you know me, brother Xian, hurry up and bring it over, by the way, do you have any appetizers? Brother Xian, don't you know, during this period of time, as a brother, I didn't even have the skill to drink, and every day I was either killing the enemy or hurrying......" Hu Da snatched the wine jar handed over by Qi Da and began to pour wine.

"Go out and watch, and let others come near the tent." Duan Shaojun waved his hand helplessly, let Qi Da and the others go out, and he didn't continue to jump up and down, squatted down, took the wine cup handed over by Hu Da, and poured it deliciously. "Don't give me nonsense, drink it as soon as you want, save it a while, someone will come, and everyone will have to be locked up at that time, this is a military camp."

"By the way, Duan Gongzi, for tomorrow's negotiation, you must already be confident, why don't you talk about your calculations with everyone now......

"Actually, the conditions are not too complicated, first, you must compensate for the losses caused by the attack on my Datang Yunzhou, the destruction of my Datang border town, and the loss caused to the people of Datang......"

"Second, it's not impossible for us to release prisoners of war, but please exchange them for something, cattle and sheep? Sorry, we don't need it, what we need is a war horse, no? Well, even if there isn't, then slaves always have, right? Over the years, you have taken many people from my Tang Dynasty as slaves of your Qihu. And now, it's time for them to go home. ”

At the beginning of the negotiations, the negotiation team of the Qihu was directly blown up by the conditions of Duan Dagongzi, and his side was simply unable to parry, and the important thing was that these things made these Qihu ministers find that they seemed to have no way to make decisions about these things.

"Why, can't you all be this master? Since you can't be the master, then don't be reluctant, hurry back and talk to your khan, anyway, we are not in a hurry, I believe you are not too anxious. Duan Shaojun looked at these Qihu barbarians who were confused by their own conditions with satisfaction, very good, this is the effect we want.

Sure enough, the next day, Moli Khan, the supreme leader of the Khu, still did not come, but he also gave the negotiating team some rights, so the two sides finally began to confront each other head-to-head.

Compared with the Khithu people who wanted to end the negotiations as soon as possible and return to the Khithu steppe as soon as possible, Duan Dagongzi was not in a hurry at all, so those Khithu people had to start to make concessions little by little.

And in the early morning of the next day, the Khithu people exchanged two hundred war horses for Hassan, His Royal Highness the Great Prince of Chihu, of course, the value of a big prince is naturally more than this price, but, for long-term consideration, Duan Dagongzi can also be regarded as a show of favor to the Khithu people, so His Royal Highness Hassan was redeemed by the Khithu camp at a low price.

And Mo Li Khan picked up the horse whip on the spot and whipped his own son, and was finally persuaded by a vote of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, but Rao is like this, Hassan's body has also been whipped by Mo Li Khan more than ten times.

"You still have the face to come back alive, 40,000 Qihu warriors, let you lose everything, that's 40,000 ......" Mo Li Khan's face turned blue and red with anger, and he said angrily and anxiously. You'd better explain to me why?! ”

"Erchen knew that he was guilty, he had nothing to say, and asked his father to punish him, but the child couldn't understand why the child had just entered the Yunshui River Valley, and was surrounded by nearly 100,000 Tang troops...... "Hassan is not a brainless person himself, the whip seems to be extremely powerful, but it is all drawn on his leather robe.

These words happened to be corroborated with the previous words of Qigu, which made all the Qihu barbarians have a thought in their hearts, there are spies. However, no one dared to say it easily, after all, the one who could access the entire plan was at least the rank of the commander of the Ten Thousand Commanders.

Mo Li Khan's eyes narrowed, and with a fierce light, he swept over the many ministers present, and finally ordered Hassan to be temporarily imprisoned. Then he ordered those Khithu negotiators to step up the pace of negotiations, and in any case, they must leave Yunzhou as soon as possible, and the longer they stay, the more unfavorable it will be for Khu.

But the problem is that the conditions put forward by Duan Dagongzi made Mo Li's seven knots angry, and he wanted to be angry, but even if he was angry, it was useless, after all, his side was the weaker side, not to mention that there were a large number of prisoners of war in the hands of the other party, and on his side, it could be said that he had no bargaining chips at all.

Therefore, I can only watch the other party sit on the ground and raise the price, but on my side, I can only sell the hope of rolling and rolling to suppress the price. However, Duan Shaojun is really a treacherous and slippery, and the conditions put forward not only make the Qihu people feel uncomfortable, but they are really unwilling to refuse the other party's conditions.

However, time could not be delayed, and in the end, Mo Li Khan could only agree to a considerable part of the conditions with blood in his heart. For example, the exchange of prisoners of war for slaves has been changed from one prisoner of war for ten slaves to one slave for a slave family, or a family of five.

As for the way of exchanging prisoners, it will only start after Moli Khan and others return to the Khu, and before that, the 50,000 prisoners of war will continue to be guarded by the Tang military, of course, the guards also need to be priced, either the Khithu people pay a lot of cattle and sheep for the clothing, food, housing and transportation expenses of the Khithu prisoners of war, or, they can only be made coolies in exchange for the necessities of life.

This made Mo Li Khan have to take out another sum of money with blood in his heart, but this is nothing compared to the large number of slaves that need to be paid. In addition, it is natural that Mo Li Khan and Her Majesty Li Youwen, the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, will make an alliance to kill the white horse under Yunzhou City, and they will not invade each other.

And the Tang Dynasty can agree to open border trade with Qihu, and the place of trade is Yunzhou. Further negotiations will be needed to expand trade in the future. As for the types of goods to be traded, it can be negotiated between the two parties.

It also depends on what the Tang Dynasty traders are willing to sell and what they don't sell, well, this is a must, Duan Dagongzi has already ordered, but all the traders who want to trade with Qihu in Yunzhou must abide by the ban in Yunzhou.

As for the Khihu people who want to obtain iron tools from the Tang Dynasty, it is not impossible, however, they can only be obtained through official trade, and there is a limited amount every year.

A series of conditions, it took nearly three days of effort, almost every day was spent in day and night quarrels and bargaining, compared to those Qihu people, Duan Dagongzi had ulterior motives to stuff countless ill-intentioned things into the trade exchanges.

Eventually, at noon on the last day, Li Youwen and Mo Li Khan both appeared five miles north of Yunzhou City, where they had made an alliance to kill white horses, agreed not to infringe on each other, and would conduct large-scale trade.

Subsequently, just in front of the stone tablet, a large banquet was held, and almost all the high-level officials of both sides attended this banquet to show that the two sides met frankly and sang the song of friendship.

And on the banquet, Duan Dagongzi, the chief negotiator of the Tang Dynasty, and the spokesperson of Her Majesty the Empress, is even more dazzling, and defending Yunzhou City is secondary, the important thing is that in the negotiation process, this guy's mouth can simply destroy the city, even if it is a wheel war, he is not afraid at all, from the beginning of the negotiation to the final success of the negotiation, Duan Dagongzi's reputation is naturally more and more loud.
