Lu Desheng took a sip and then said slowly, "Seventh Prince, you are not nervous at all after hearing this news."

Tuoba didn't even say a word, mainly talking was a waste of words.

Lu Desheng looked surprised, "You can still be so relaxed. I don't know where you get your confidence. Do you think nothing will happen to you?"

"You have never thought that the conditions proposed by your father are so outrageous. If we can't reach an agreement, you will be in danger. It could range from missing an arm or a leg, or even losing your life."

Hearing this, Tuobalian, who had always been indifferent, felt his heart tighten.

Lu Desheng looked at his expression and said, "You don't have any illusions about your father, do you? Do you think he will never let anything happen to you?"

Tuobalian was shaken in his heart. Father Khan wouldn't let anything happen to him, right?After all, he is his youngest son.

"Or do you think you can compare with his grand ambition and dominance?" Lu Desheng asked soul torture.

Tuobalian: No.

"Besides, Tuoba Khan has seven sons, and you are not the only one. Without you, he still has six. Well, at his age, he should be able to have another son. It's a bit difficult to make a series, but It should be no problem to add a few younger brothers to you later." Lu Desheng's words have one meaning, that is, Tuoba Khan has no shortage of sons.

By this time, Tuobalian's confidence was gone.

At this time, Lu Desheng said slowly, "Seventh Prince Tuoba, don't say we didn't give you a chance. You should have your own power in the Xianbei Royal Court, right? Why don't you take the initiative to contact them?"

"Your life is your own. If you don't save yourself, don't blame us."

"We have a saying here that power becomes useless when it is not used. The same goes for power. If you lose your life, you will lose nothing. The power in your hands will also be taken over by one of your brothers, right?" Lu Desheng said, shaking his head. ,"Pitiful."

At this time, Tuobalian stared at his tea, "I want tea!"

Lu Desheng:? ? ?

Lao Cao on the side quickly expressed his position, "Master Lu, according to regulations, prisoners should be given water every two hours." He did not abuse the prisoners.

No wonder Lao Cao was nervous. The main reason was that Pingzhou had clearly stipulated that they were not allowed to abuse prisoners at will without permission.

Tuobalian reiterated his request.

Lu Desheng was surprised, "Okay, give him a cup of tea."

"Three cups!" Tuoba emphasized.

"Okay, three cups!" Satisfy him!poor child.

After drinking three cups of tea, Tuobalian finally couldn't drink anymore and said, "Get me some paper and pen."

He wants to work hard for himself.

What Lu Desheng said just now is right: his life is his own, and if it's gone, it's gone.

Lu Desheng: "When someone comes, I will serve you with paper and pen."

Tuo Balian wrote the letter and gave it to Lu Desheng, telling him to pass it on to his confidants.

"Don't worry, the letter will definitely be delivered. No matter what, we won't let you fall into our hands." These words are sincere. Xiao Lianzi is such a good person, and I really can't bear to have no choice but to snap him up if the conversation breaks down.

After getting the secret letter, Lu Desheng was satisfied and left without acknowledging his relatives.How should I discuss with my daughter and how to make good use of this secret message?

After Lu Desheng left, Tuobalian told Lao Cao, who was guarding him, that he was going to the latrine.

"Let's go. Lazy donkeys pee a lot." Lao Cao muttered.

Tuobalian:...I can bear it!

Tuobalian didn't yell anything, because the people here didn't tolerate him at all.

The guard on the side asked curiously, "Old Cao, you said that to him and he didn't even scold you?"

"Swear, let him scold you." Lao Cao Hun said nonchalantly, he was not afraid of wasting words.

The guards gave him a thumbs up.

Anyway, if you give him water every two hours, he can scold him if he wants.He deserved the dry mouth.

"Don't be upset, we didn't abuse you."

"After drinking water, do you have to go to the latrine? It's enough for me to just serve you every day. There's no need to do anything else."

Lao Cao muttered, "Because of your Xianbei invasion, everyone is busy, and I don't have to help occasionally."

Tuobalian now wants them to come to a conclusion quickly and let him go back. It’s too painful!

……

As if to prove that what they said was true, the Xianbei Royal Court captured Daijun next door that day.

Song Mo was shocked and angry.

Facing Xianbei's lion, everyone in the court was speechless.

It is impossible to say yes.Because of this promise, the five states of Dali had to be cut off, which was almost like gouging out the heart.

But if they don't agree, now the foreign army headed by Xianbei has gathered in Yanmen and marched south, which is not just talk.

This problem is too difficult. How to choose?

"It is impossible to cede five states!" These were Song Mo's words.

Facing the rude demands of the Xianbei royal court, Song Mo's attitude was rare and tough.

At this time, the Xianbei envoy said, "Don't you have a saying in Dali that you ask for a price and pay it back? No matter what, you can talk about it."

After the Xianbei court proposed negotiations between the two parties, the Dali court agreed.

We should indeed talk. If we don't talk, we can only go to war.

The location of the negotiations, under Zhang Xian's strong suggestion, was set in Youzhou Youbeiping County.The reason is that it is convenient to escort the hostages. Otherwise, the negotiation location is set elsewhere. What if the hostages are robbed on the way to the negotiation location?

Zhang Xian's words made sense, and Song Mo agreed.

The north side of Youbeiping County is connected to the grassland, and Xianbei can also deploy their troops here, and the Xianbei Royal Court naturally has no objection.

The negotiation place was finally chosen in Youzhou Youbeiping County.

After Lu Songli learned about it, she smiled slightly.

Youbeiping County currently has no political power and is considered a power-challenged area.

Right Beiping County connects Liaoxi County to the southeast, Xianbei Grassland to the north, and Yuyang County of Youzhou to the west.No one can take advantage.

For the imperial court, now that the negotiation venue has been chosen, what should be done next?Who is responsible for negotiating? What is the bottom line of the court in this negotiation?

There was a lot of noise in the court.

This was obviously a thankless job, and no minister wanted to do it.

In addition, no minister dared to express his position easily.

Yes, that’s five states. Who dares to advocate yes?The minister who advocated the agreement was afraid that the world would scold him as a traitor and a lackey.

If you don't agree, if the Xianbei army goes south, you will be guilty.

Difficult, too difficult!

Finally, as a last resort, they came up with a compromise.
