Chapter 1153 Negotiation Conditions
During the three meetings, Li Yuanji sent a new general named Sun Liu, and Li Shimin did not personally send Ma Sanbao, the general around him.
Xue Yantuo didn't pay so much attention to it because no matter what it would be beneficial to them, I didn't worry about what would happen.
It is still Li Yuanji and Li Shimin who don’t think so.
The more critical the moment, the less we cannot take it lightly. Li Shimin suddenly realized that his third brother did not seem as arrogant as he seemed on the surface.
And what happened to those cavalrymen? Could it be that his father still retained his strength? If that was true, it would be really terrible. Perhaps all the things he did were under the other party's calculations.
Things were a little beyond his expectations, and he was also a little bit more respectful to Li Yuanji's cavalry. It was precisely because his third brother had a bad relationship with him, but he could not deny that he was really capable of training troops.
"I am Chatujie, the representative of Xueyantuo's tribe."
Everyone introduced themselves. The three of them began to explain the conditions for the negotiation. Sun Liu, who represented His Highness of the King of Qi, directly stated that the condition for letting them be hostages in exchange for freedom was to notify the Xueyantuo royal court to pay money and supplies for freedom.
Li Yuanji did not want these people to leave, but if they needed to stabilize them, they had to be unable to make them have the belief that they would die, so they gave the conditions for freedom.
Xue Yantuo's representative, Chatujie, could only listen, because as the weaker party, they need to compromise on certain things.
Li Yuanji didn't put forward much content, just to ask for benefits from Xueyantuo's tribe. The current situation must be that the lion would speak loudly.
Ma Sanbao was a little surprised by Sun Liu's condition. It would be good if the other party could really agree to this condition.
After Sun Liu finished speaking, Ma Sanbao also began to express their conditions.
"I ask to leave all the war horses and protect the remaining weapons for you. Within a limited period, you must leave the Tang State under the escort of the Tang State's troops. In addition, you need to go out for corresponding compensation, with a compensation amount of 3 million jin."
Chatujie's face changed. Not to mention the horse's problem, it would be impossible to agree to the compensation of three million yuan. Xue Yantuo didn't have that much money to get any compensation.
Even when he was angry, he knew his responsibilities. He wrote down the conditions offered by both parties and said, "I will convey the matter, so please come here in two hours."
Chatujie told the situation and the generals were completely angry. This was no longer a matter of lions speaking out, but to affect the development of their tribe.
The value of 100,000 cavalry is very great. After thinking about it, the general decided that he could not agree. The other party clearly had to discuss it.
Notify the royal court that they will pay the ransom and will not let them carry their horses when they go back. No matter what, they have become fish on the chopping board.
The conditions of both sides were similar, and they all came based on their war horses, which made the general feel a little strange.
Judging from the situation where both sides sent envoys, both sides did not seem to be in the same group. What is the reason for this? Perhaps this can be used to reduce their losses for them.
After two hours, the meaning of procrastination was very obvious, and all three parties needed to repair it, but there was no real disturbance.
Each has his own plans.
The three representatives gathered together again to discuss the matter.
Xue Yantuo's search for the picture has already shown his attitude, and they cannot agree to the conditions proposed by both sides, so they directly said what they could agree to.
"Leaving 20,000 war horses for them to leave, the conditions are so simple."
Xue Yantuo made such a decision to sacrifice great interests. Twenty thousand war horses could increase the combat effectiveness of the Tang cavalry, but the price was really great.
Besides, they are passive now, which does not mean they really can't break through. If they fight to the death, even if they can't get out, they may end up losing both sides.
No one wants to see such a result.
The three parties met for a short time, and they were all sent out to pass the message. Whether the decision was really depends on whether the respective commander agreed.
Li Yuanji could agree to leave behind 30,000 war horses. Although the conditions were worse than what he expected, they were undoubtedly acceptable.
Although they had the advantage, he was really unwilling to fight to the death. After all, it was his own family. If he had lost all his efforts, how could he realize his ambitions?
Li Shimin's idea was the same, but the question was how to allocate 30,000 war horses at that time. Suddenly, he felt that the other party did it on purpose.
The performance of both sides was too obvious. Xue Yantuo's people also had smart people. They saw that they wanted to use the distribution of interests to cause conflicts in actual combat.
None of them are fuel-efficient lamps.
General Xue Yantuo was not sure, after all, he was blocked from retreat. If they were really driven out of the army and would have a huge loss to them.
Besides, the supplies and horses carried by the 100,000 cavalry are too valuable. Now it depends on what the other party wants to say.
If they are really too greedy then they will try their final breakthrough.
At that time, all the fighting will have a greater impact on the Tang State. When the royal court sends troops, it may be able to conquer the entire Tang State's forces.
General Xue Yantuo still had some ideas. If all the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom were used up, they would make the greatest contribution to their tribe members.
Thinking of this, Xue Yantuo's generals were all ready.
When Li Yuanji heard about 30,000 war horses, his eyes lit up. So many war horses were equivalent to giving 30,000 cavalrymen.
In fact, it is not impossible to let them go like this.
There are many problems in the distribution of interests. Both sides are coming for war, so it is not easy to determine how to divide them.
It is obviously suspected of causing conflict, but no one cares about it at this time. Anyway, what they want is to maximize their interests.
If all these people could be kept, Li Yuanji would definitely spare no effort.
However, the situation did not allow it. With this little bit of his family's wealth, Shuofang's development seemed to be very fast, but he really had no foundation for making a comeback after all his troops.
If the troops in Wagang are fighting all over Li Shimin, they can do it again. This is the biggest difference between the two sides.
Therefore, when making decisions, you must be very cautious.
After the third meeting of the three parties is when the result is finalized, it is impossible for them to take too long to negotiate.
Surprisingly, the conditions for both sides of the Tang Dynasty were that Xue Yantuo needed to leave 40,000 war horses, which was the bottom line conditions that had been locked and there was no room for negotiation.
Li Shimin and Li Yuanji are surprisingly consistent with this matter, and for those who have their own thoughts, they both have their own thoughts.
But internal strife is different from external strife.
At least they will not have any irrational things in front of outsiders at this moment.
As for how to divide the 40,000 war horses, it is clear from the time the conditions are proposed.
