Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 84 Discuss peace talks?

Turkic envoy Ashina Barkan has been living comfortably these days.

Since arriving in Chang'an, he has been sensual and sensual every day, enjoying himself to his will.

Nahonglu Siqing just seemed to regard him as an ancestor, serving him with good wine and good food every day, and would come to greet him personally from time to time, fearing that he would be dissatisfied.

Even Dou Lukuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and other big figures in the court are soft-spoken and courteous in front of him.

Recalling that day in the court, the officials of the Tang Dynasty treated him coldly and had a tough attitude. At that time, he also said that this mission might not be able to get what he wanted.

But in the past few days, Ashina Barkan has already figured it out after seeing the reception officials take such good care of him.

This Tang Dynasty is not confident enough and must not dare to challenge.

This was naturally in line with Ashina Bakan's wishes. The most important purpose of his mission to the Tang Dynasty was to subdue the enemy without fighting, and he used his dexterous lips to force a large area of ​​the Tang Dynasty over.

Isn't war still about money, food and land?Why not do it with less effort?

As far as he is concerned, the achievements of the war are the credit of the soldiers of the three armies, but once the two sides reach a peace negotiation, it will be his contribution to Ashina Bakan's mission.

Although time passed day by day, Ashina Barkan was still very confident in reaching a peace talk.

You have to let that old boy Li Shimin hold back for a few days, right?

Otherwise, how could he hold on to his face?How did he explain to the people of Datang?

Ashina Bakhan firmly believed that the other party would definitely come to discuss the details of the peace within five days.

If not, why would Dou Lukuan serve him so wholeheartedly?
Besides, he also knew in his heart that he was in Chang'an these few days, he was eating and drinking, and he was not lenient in everything, and he not only ate other people's food, but also drank other people's food, and his attitude was very arrogant, ordinary people can't stand it long ago.

But the officials of the Tang Dynasty still serve them so respectfully. Doesn't this explain the problem?
Today is the last day of the peace talks. Ashina Bakan is already looking forward to it. It's time for Dou Lukuan to come over and deliver Datang's petition for peace talks!

Youyou leaned back on the Hu bed in the hall, Ashina Bakan took another sip of tea, hummed a little tune, and waited for Dou Lukuan to arrive.

The tea was sour and sour, not that good to drink. The glutton in his stomach became active again, and he searched for any good wine in the hall.

A few days ago, in this lobby, good wine and meat were displayed every day, and beauties were dancing beside, that was really beautiful!

Thinking of the good days these past few days, Ashina Barkan couldn't help sucking his lips again.

But he finally held back and swallowed another sip of tea, giving up the idea of ​​having fun again.

After all, today is the day to negotiate a peace agreement, so he can't be fooled by wine and sex.

"Hey! It's better to wait until we finish talking about the business, and then call that little beauty over for entertainment, hehe!"

Just sighing to himself, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

There was a knock on the door, followed by Dou Lukuan's voice.

"Master Special Envoy...Master Special Envoy?"

This is the voice of Dou Lukuan greeting outside the house.

Ashina Bakan cleared his throat, then dragged his voice, and hummed in a lazy and indifferent tone: "Who is it? Come in..."

Negotiations between the two parties have to be set up.You have to make an attitude of indifference, and people will coax you...

If you appear to be too aggressive, you may not be confident enough when negotiating.

Ashina Bakhan thought he had done it just right, so he couldn't help smiling smugly.

"Squeak~"

The door opened in response, and Dou Lukuan strode in.

This Dou Lukuan was wearing a purple official robe today, looking extraordinarily formal and dignified.

This is natural, come to discuss peace talks, it is natural to be more solemn... Ashina Bakan smiled inwardly.

Putting his feet on the bed, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Then Ashina Bakan said leisurely: "Master Dou, why are you here today?"

Dou Lukuan coughed twice, and said: "I am here today to have a talk with your envoy. You have committed crimes against the Tang Dynasty by the three northern kingdoms."

Ashina Bakan felt happy, this old boy finally couldn't hold his breath anymore...

We have to play some tricks, but we can't let you, Datang, pass our level easily!
Thinking this way in his heart, Ashina Bakan turned his head to one side, stretched out his hand and scratched his ears, and put on a leisurely look.

"Since Master Dou wants to talk, let's talk~"

The drawn-out voice responded, but Ashina Bakan still didn't get up, keeping a slanted posture.

His attitude really didn't mean to talk at all.

"Ahem, Mr. Special Envoy..."

Dou Lukuan frowned slightly, looked at Ashina Bakan and said, "Since we are discussing business matters, please sit up straight!"

Ashina Bakam had done enough. He thought that the peace talks were the key point, so he shook his legs, put them down, and sat up straight.

"Let's talk..."

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the guests in the hall.

Dou Lukuan lifted his official robe and sat down upright. He said solemnly, "Master Special Envoy, you have gathered soldiers from the Three Kingdoms to violate our border and harass the people of Tang Dynasty. Tolerant!"

At the beginning of the chapter, Dou Lukuan began to condemn the three northern countries, and refuted their aggression.

These words were sonorous and forceful, but in Ashina Bakan's heart, they all turned into words to gain the initiative for the peace talks.

This Tang Dynasty can't beat it again and again, so he knows that the purpose of fixing these high-sounding things is naturally to strive for the highest morality, and find a way to lose less money and land!

Dou Lukuan has studied the customs of the Han people all the year round, and has long studied this negotiation technique thoroughly and clearly.

He didn't panic in the slightest, and let Dou Lukuan output first. Anyway, he, a Turkic, never cared about being famous as a teacher. How could money, food and land be so important for these high-sounding things?
Let you, Datang, take advantage of morality!

Ashina Bakan remained silent, and when Dou Lukuan was tired of speaking, he scratched his ears to clear up the nonsense.

"Okay, Mr. Dou, after talking so much, you are also tired."

"Let's be direct! How much food are you prepared to pay for in the Tang Dynasty?"

Before Dou Lukuan could speak, he added: "I will say the ugly words first. The land north of the Yellow River belongs to the three northern countries. This point has been agreed by the three countries, and you are not allowed to bargain!"

After saying this, Ashina Bakan leaned back on Hu's bed, waiting for Dou Lukuan to come to discuss the matter of money and food.

He already had a plan in mind, and land was the most important thing. As for money and food, the Triple Kingdom Alliance did not have rigid requirements.

But if he can take more and occupy more, of course he will fight for it.

The specific amount depends on the bargaining between the two parties.
