Chapter 484 Taking over Youzhou

Before Tuoba Yu could say anything, he was interrupted by Lu Desheng, "You don't have to persuade me any more. I don't believe in the promise of your Xianbei Royal Court. You also signed a three-year peace agreement last year. What's the result?"

Lu Desheng's words were like a slap in Tuoba Yu's face, almost saying that their promise was worthless.

The Pingzhou officials beside Lu Desheng nodded frequently in their hearts and agreed with their Master Lu's words, that is, if the Xianbei Royal Court wants to negotiate, they should bring out real benefits.

Tuoba Yu forcibly redeemed himself, "There is a reason why we from Xianbei went south this time——"

Lu Desheng didn't want to hear this, "Okay, okay, Prince Tuoba, you have expressed your 'sincerity' on behalf of your Xianbei Royal Court. Do you want to listen to my request?"

"Master Lu, please speak."

"We want Youzhou! Also, our Pingzhou was robbed of 120 million stones of tax grain by your second prince. You Xianbei must return this batch of tax grain to us."

What? !When Tuoba Yu heard this condition, he almost jumped up. The lion opened his mouth, really the lion opened his mouth!

"Master Lu, your conditions are too excessive!"

A Youzhou and 120 million shi of grain are too expensive. The Seventh Prince is too expensive.

Does Lu Desheng know how expensive food is now?

"Isn't your noble seventh prince worth the price?" Lu Desheng looked surprised.

Can Tuoba Yu be said to be unworthy?He now inexplicably realized that Prince Gong of the Dali Dynasty must have felt the same way when he faced him just now.

"Besides, we just want to get back what originally belongs to us. This is not too much to ask for."

shit!

Tuoba Jin on the side said angrily, "But we didn't get much food! Most of the tax food was burned by you! Some of it was robbed by bandits from Youbeiping County!"

He has the most say in this matter.Why should Lu Desheng put all the blame on Xianbei now?

Lu Desheng spread his hands and said, "We don't know this. Anyway, our Pingzhou lost 120 million in taxes and grain, and you have to compensate."

What Lu Desheng said is that it is true that they lost 120 million shi of food in Pingzhou. You said that you did not grab much food. Who can prove it?

All members of the Xianbei negotiating team were choked by Lu Desheng's words.

Prince Gong, who was blocked outside, also saw that Tuoba Yu and others had very bad expressions. He was very curious about what Lu Desheng talked to them.In fact, he hoped in his heart that the two sides would break down the talks. If the talks broke down, they would start fighting and fight each other, right?

Unfortunately, the reaction of Tuoba Yu and others was not as expected by Prince Gong. Although Lu Desheng was so angry that he vomited blood, Tuoba Yu and others still endured it.

"Lu Desheng, please be reasonable!"

Lu Desheng said seriously, "I am a very reasonable person." His strength is convincing people with reason.

"Tuoba Jin, just tell me whether your Xianbei people have gone to steal taxes and grain, right?"

"I went to grab it——"

"Isn't that enough?"

Tuoba Jin jumped to his feet, "But before us, part of your tax grains were stolen by bandits, and most of them were burned by you. In the end, we only got less than [-] kilograms of tax grains!"

"Are you lying? The subordinates who transported the grain said that there was a small river next to the place where the grain transportation team was involved in the accident. When you saw the grain on fire, why didn't you save it? Most of the grain must have been saved by you."

"If you dare to do something, don't act like it, you are not a man!"

Lu Desheng looked like, "Don't even think about lying to me."

It doesn't make sense. Tuoba Jin is really about to vomit blood. Can he say that they didn't put out the fire?But after putting out the fire, we really didn't save much food.

"The bandits stole some of it and burned some of it, but you Xianbei must have snatched the bulk." Lu Desheng said as if that was what happened.

"Besides, who is to blame for this? That is also your Xianbei's responsibility, and that is also your fault. If you didn't come to steal our tax rations, our tax rations would be fine."

Tuoba Jin found that he could not explain clearly even if he had a long mouth.

Tuo Bajin still wanted to speak, but Tuo Ba Yu stopped him, "Master Lu, the compensation of 120 million shi of food is too much, can we waive it? We trade Youzhou with you for the Seventh Prince, and we treat it like making friends with our Xianbei. "

They Xianbei invaded Dali from the south and plundered several places. Because it was after the autumn harvest, they did get back a lot of food, but they would feel bad if they were given more than 100 million shi of food.

"Okay, just treat the 20 stones as the part that was robbed and burned by the bandits. One million stones can't be less." Lu Desheng felt that he was easy to talk to, so he gave them less at once. 100 stones, good guy.

Tuo Tuoyu was tired, he said he was exempted from it, what did Lu Desheng get in return?

Facing Lu Desheng's lion's big mouth, Tuo Bayu really wanted to...

But the seventh prince has to save him!

The seventh prince's biological mother is the daughter of the chief of the Fuyu tribe. During the period when his nephew was arrested, I heard that the Yan family was crying in the clan, and even the chief of the Fuyu tribe went to find his eldest brother several times.

If his nephew dies, it will not be conducive to the unity of all ethnic groups, nor will it be conducive to the war situation.

The hanging Tuoba Lian looked at this negotiation that could collapse at any time. He couldn't help shouting to the hesitant Tuoba Yu, "Uncle Emperor, I don't want to die. My father is reluctant to spend money and food to save the emperor." Me, I sympathize with him. Isn’t it okay if I spend my own money to redeem myself?"

"You only need to give Youzhou out, and I will pay for the 100 million stones of food!" Tuobalian shouted, "Master Lu, I don't have that much food, can you use gold, silver and jewels to compensate?"

When Lu Desheng heard this, he felt happy in his heart, but on his face he agreed without any difficulty, "Okay."

"Uncle Emperor, my mother must have stuffed all the gold and silver that was used to redeem me into the grain and fodder team. You go look for it and then redeem me."

Tuoba Yu: This wasteful thing!When did he secretly infiltrate his family wealth into the grain and grass team?

"Prince Tuoba, how are you doing, a deal?" Lu Desheng asked.

Tuoba Xun whispered, "Uncle Emperor, promise him! Rescue the person first and then talk about it."

"Okay, it's settled. We'll exchange Youzhou and gold and silver worth 100 million shi of grain in exchange for the seventh prince Tuobalian."

Lu Desheng waved his hand, "Okay, then you go and prepare. When you are ready, we will pay the money and deliver the goods."

Gold and silver are easy, Tuoba Yu can just ask people to go back and look for them in the grain and grass they carry, but handing them over to Youzhou is more troublesome.

They had to negotiate with Prince Gong and others first, asking them to evacuate the military equipment and officials of several counties in Youzhou, and successfully transfer them to Pingzhou before they were done.

Under Tuoba Yu's instructions, there were many people to handle the matter.

The gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the grain and grass were easy to find, and it didn't take long for them to be delivered.

Tuo Bayu asked, "You don't want an armistice agreement?"

Aren't they Xianbei terrible?Tuoba Yu couldn't help but doubt.

Lu Desheng curled his lips, "Your armistice agreement is just like fart, we don't ask for it."

If you sign this agreement, you have to take the initiative to give up some of your benefits. Whoever signs it will be stupid.

Hearing this, Tuoba Yu was very depressed. This Lu Desheng was too good.

Tuoba Yu: "The gold, silver and jewelry worth 100 million stones of grain are all here. I have already asked someone to negotiate with you over there in Youzhou. You can just arrange for someone to take over later."

Lu Desheng asked people to come forward and transport boxes of gold and silver jewelry away, "Okay, after our people take over Youzhou, we will release the seventh prince Tuoba."

At this time, Prince Gong's heart was burning. The people from the Xianbei Royal Court just came over and asked them to withdraw the military equipment and officials from several counties in Youzhou. Someone will take over Youzhou next.

Youzhou is about to change hands.

Only then did Prince Gong truly realize how heartbreaking it was to cede the three states. It was also at this time that he learned the terms negotiated by Xianbei and Pingzhou.

After learning about it, his eyes lit up and he hurried over, "Wait a minute -"

"Prince Tuoba, you guys -" You were fooled.

Prince Gong wanted to use the truth about the tax and grain robbery to talk to Tuoba Yu to gain some benefits for Dali.

An arrow passed through his facade, directly picking off his eyebrow, breaking the skin, and blood beads gushed out.

Prince Gong was startled.

Lu Desheng: "Prince Gong, sometimes you need to be careful with your words and deeds. What do you think?"

Zuo Anmin on the side was also startled. He even raised his eyes and looked around.

Of course he knew what Prince Gong wanted to say, and he came here to help, but he didn't dare to speak at this moment, for fear of being killed by an arrow from Pingzhou's hidden archer.

Faced with this situation, Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Xun and others exchanged glances with each other. They had archers on both sides of Pingzhou, so they were in a bit of trouble.

In fact, the Sun family's army also has sharp archers who can penetrate the Yangtze with a hundred steps. However, after the Sun family's sharp archers arrived in the north, they were a little acclimatized, so General Sun did not assign tasks to him.

"Prince Gong, are Youzhou ready to be handed over?" Tuoba Yu asked.

Before Prince Gong came to his senses, Lin Ran answered on his behalf, "The officials have been ordered to evacuate."

Deng Fangyi next to him was crying, and the order came from him, the governor of Youzhou.

Lu Desheng didn't care about them and immediately ordered, "Qin Yan and Qin Zhao, the two of you bring fifteen thousand troops and horses to take over the counties in Youzhou."

Qin Yan and Qin Zhao stepped out, "Yes!"
