Chapter 257 Negotiations also need to be reciprocal(2/3)

After the little guys were eating there one by one, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took a few more cotton candies to meet the people from Tubo.

The person sent by Tubo was a person from the Kemu Kehu tribe who was relatively familiar with the economy. He was called Kemu Jiji. He was cautious and did not show any signs of mountains or water. He led the team to negotiate. One was talking about war and the other was talking about the use of livestock for food.

However, when he was talking to the outside world, he only talked about exchanges and did not talk about war, which made the Tubo people who followed him unable to understand why he did this.

They arrived in Yizhou the day before yesterday. Since they learned that Juanjuan had returned from climbing over the snow, all Tubo troops outside the pass had retreated, which was really impossible to afford.

Zhang Zhong robbed some of the food and Wang Juan burned some of the food. More food was consumed on the march. In order to catch Wang Juan, the Tubo army mobilized too much, and the food and grass were constantly consumed. If you don’t think of a solution, many people will starve to death this winter, and only in spring can wild vegetables be replenished.

But Mu Jiji was good at speaking the words of the Tang Dynasty and spoke very fluently. He also had a lot of research on the culture of the Tang Dynasty. After arriving here, he was not busy meeting the negotiations, but instead inquired about a lot of news from the local area and only asked for a meeting to negotiate after he was ready.

He thought that the Tang Dynasty would send a large team to negotiate with him, and there were many more experienced people.

But after revealing his identity, the people in Yizhou reacted too coldly and did not take themselves seriously at all. They were representing a country.

After waiting for an hour, someone heard news that the person who negotiated with him was Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who entered Tubo this time.

But the two of them are busy with very important things now, telling stories to their younger brothers and sisters, and letting them wait and talk about it after they are finished.

Some of the people brought by Ke Mu Jiji were unwilling at that time, and shouted and said that they would even threaten to send troops if they didn't come to Tubo again, but Ke Mu Jiji stopped him.

Although he was also very angry, he did not dare to let his subordinates say the words to send troops. If they were unhappy and stopped talking, it would be in vain this time. This time it was not just about exchanging the food, but also a plan.

After waiting for another hour and a half, lunch time passed. After telling the story to the little guys, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who had prepared marshmallows, came over with the marshmallows.

When the two of them came over, there were only the two maids who were accompanying each other, as well as Old Man Bi who was already sitting here but didn't speak, and there was no extra guard.

There were seven people from Tubo, led by Kemu Jiji. When they saw two kids who had been fighting their country in a mess, some people wanted to kill the little girl now.

But as soon as this man's murderous gaze was seen, he immediately shrank back when he touched Juanjuan's eyes.

At this time, Juanjuan had long lost the doting expression she had when she was playing with her younger brothers and sisters. There was a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth, her pupils contracted, and her cute face revealed a coldness, which was even more gloomy than a rainy day.

Zhang Xiaobao was facing the Tubo people sideways, standing in front of Wang Juan's left, narrowing his eyes. Seeing the unkind gaze of someone looking over by the other party, he chuckled and said, "Ha! Why? Want to kill me here? I warn you, and show that look again, and I will let you bury your bones in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Just you? I don’t look down on you. You are really not worthy of my attention. Killing you now is like killing an ant. If you don’t agree, look at it again.”

"Xiaobao, don't scare others. We'll beat them like that. If you scare them, you can't be right. Give them some face. Grandpa Bi, Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Yao, you are here too. It's great. I'll give you marshmallows. I made it specifically for Xiaobei and the others just now."

Wang Juan also defeated the confidence of the Tubo people. This attitude clearly did not take the seven people from Tubo seriously, walked to Old Man Bi and the other two, and sent the marshmallows.

Old Man Bi also cooperated to take it and asked, "Is Xiaobei and the others sleeping?"

"Go to bed right away, otherwise Xiaobao and I wouldn't have time to deal with other trivial matters. It's just that Tubo died. How can we be more happy than Xiaobei and the others?"

Wang Juan replied with a smile, her face changed, and then she turned around and handed the excess marshmallow in her hand to Ke Muji, "I'll give you this a reward, taste the good things from the Tang Dynasty, go back and talk, so that you can see the Tubo people well."

Ke Mu Jiji looked at Wang Juan, held back the anger in his heart, took the marshmallow, squeezed out a smile and said, "When I greeted General Juanjuan's family, I will definitely taste the things from the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, my attitude is very satisfied. You can tell me what you are doing here." Wang Juan sat firmly on the chair that Zhang Xiaobao pulled away, *** the marshmallow in his hand, and then twitched his mouth twice, saying to Kemuji.

If Mu Ji and the six people behind him had not been warned by Zhang Xiaobao's words just now, they really wanted to rush up and use force to regain their dignity.

Ke Mu Jiji took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "This time I come here, there are two things to say, the first one is..."

"Wait, you haven't said what your name is yet. Let's talk about it first. Tubo wouldn't send someone without a name or a surname to come over, right?" Before Kemu Jiji finished speaking, Wang Juan interrupted him and asked.

"I am a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is

"Oh, it's you, are you and Kemu Kehu together? Your names are similar. He is my defeated general. Thanks to him not coming, otherwise I would ask him if he dares." Wang Juan continued.

Ke Mu Jiji's hand clenched into a fist, let go, and nodded, "It's a part of the same person, but the name has nothing to do with it. The war has ended, so don't talk about the things on the battlefield anymore. I have two things to talk about. The first is the situation in the war. I want to ask whether the Tang Dynasty is willing to maintain the two countries..."

"Wait a minute, you are really contradictory. I just said that the war is over. If you don't talk about the matter on the battlefield, then you still ask about the situation in the war. By the way, what are your names? I just thought about how to make marshmallows taste better. I forgot, you are saying it again, sorry."

Wang Juan said to Ke Mujiji with an apology.

"My name is Kemu Jiji. The situation of the war I mentioned is because we are not on the battlefield now. I want to know the Tang Dynasty court you represent..."

"You and Kemu Kehu are not brothers, are you? They look very similar, didn't you lie to me?" Wang Juan interrupted Kemu Jiji again.

"Can you continue the negotiation? If you don't have a talk, we will go back and lead the troops to discuss it." Ke Mu and the person next to him could not help it and asked with their eyes wide open.

Wang Juan looked over with contempt and nodded, "Okay, welcome Tubo to lead troops to talk. I am going to go out again to discuss the war with you famous Tubo generals. But this time I will not bring less than 10,000 light cavalry to fight you. I will mobilize the troops of various guards in Jiannan Road. I will meet you Tubo, please, don't send me."

But Mu Jiji knew it was going to be troublesome as soon as he heard his own people. Sure enough, Wang Juan's reaction was too intense.

He quickly scolded the people around him, "Shut up, otherwise I will tell the superiors about this when I go back."

But Mu Jiji was so angry that he couldn't help but the people he brought him? What did he say to Mosha to send troops? Are they afraid of this?

The people next to him also knew that they had made a mistake, so they panted, lowered their heads and stopped making any more noise.

Ke Mu Jiji turned back and said to Wang Juan: "Don't take what you said just now. To be honest, Tubo no longer wants to fight again. After all, this year is not so easy. What I want to say is, can the Tang Dynasty truce with me, Tubo? And compensate me for the losses of Tubo."

"Do you still have some shame? Why should you compensate you for Tubo? You don't want to fight anymore, I still want to fight. I'm not satisfied with killing people. In the past, you often insisted on speaking in a tone of a victorious country. I still want to do this this year? Then I will fight until you are convinced by Tubo. If you don't believe me, let's try it.

I will immediately send someone to mobilize the army. I am going to send 100,000 troops. It depends on how many people you use to encircle and suppress? Want to fight? Yes, admit your mistake first, and you shouldn't harm the people of Wangjiang, and compensate for the losses in Wangjiang, Shuzhou. The specific compensation will be discussed after Xiaobao has calculated it.

Second, we will compensate for the losses of our Tang Dynasty in this war, including the small actions you made behind the scenes and the unreasonable economic war. We will both have to compensate for the specific amount. After Xiaobao calculates it, we will talk about it.

Third, I will send you more princesses to my Tang Dynasty and marry us to show your sincerity. I will send you three first. Are there three of you? It won’t work if you don’t have them, so I have to find a way.

Fourth, hand over the culprits who support this war. No matter who you put the blame on, I must hand over one of them and let my Tang Dynasty conduct a public trial.

I will say all about the war. I don’t agree. I will send troops immediately. You guys must stay. Don’t think about going back. I am just like this and I dare not do things in a regular manner. Do you have any more to add?"

Wang Juan's attitude is very tough, so tough that it is to bully people.

The seven people who came from Tubo all stared at Wang Juan with wide eyes. They never expected that this girl was so warlike and would have to fight each other whenever she had a disagreement. If she hadn't had a great reputation in Tubo, she would have thought she was joking.

But not now. She really has such ability. When she sends 100,000 troops, how many troops can Tubo get to compete with her?

But Mu Jiji was so worried after hearing Wang Juan's words. The little kid really couldn't speak. He thought of whatever he thought of and didn't say anything at all.

But this little kid is different from other kids. She is really capable of leading troops to fight and can still win.

Thinking of this, Ke Mu Jiji said to Wang Juan: "You can talk slowly, and there is no rush to be a moment. I have no choice but to wait and talk about another thing first."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. Xiao Bei and the others should have already gone to bed. I will not delay telling them stories after talking to you for a while. Today's war is endless. Let's talk tomorrow. If you can't finish it tomorrow, you can continue to postpone it until spring.

I also take a break. If the wild vegetables come out in spring and the talk is not over yet, I will lead the troops to talk to the people you really talk to, and fight to your capital. I think everyone will know how to talk. When the wild vegetables come out, do you think you are okay?"

Wang Juan pinched off a piece of marshmallow and threw it into her mouth. While clattering, she said to Ke Muji, and finally asked Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao is calculating how much money the other party needs to compensate. If he doesn’t make a fortune from the war, wouldn’t that be a loss? It doesn’t fit his style of doing things with Juanjuan.

After hearing Wang Juan’s question, he said, “I’m not in a hurry. I’m not in a hurry at all. On the contrary, we have enough food this year and there is no shortage of livestock. I’ll drag it hard until the beginning of spring next year. It’s a moment when the weather is not enough. Send troops, Juanjuan, you’re hitting you, don’t worry about not having enough food. I’ll prepare for you from other places.

We have a clear division of labor. I am in charge of logistics. You are in charge of murder. As long as you dare to kill, I will guarantee that your logistics will be worry-free. You are my future wife. How can you let your wife suffer a loss? Come and kiss me."

Zhang Xiaobao said something and turned his face over. Wang Juan smiled sweetly and kissed Zhang Xiaobao on the face. "Xiaobao, I know you are the best. I understand me and know that I like to kill people. You should do this too when I want to hit people in the future."

"Okay, I won't help my wife to help anyone, I'll kiss another one." Zhang Xiaobao replied.

Just when Kemu and others were in a bad mood, Old Man Zhang finally couldn't help but laughed. He didn't expect Xiaobao and Juanjuan to be so interesting. The negotiations between the two countries were not usually at home, but even at home, he didn't see two children kissing each other. What did he regard this place as? What did he regard Tubo as?

Ke Mu Jiji had to admit that the two kids on the other side were very compatible, but the problem was that this was not a place for flirting.

So he said, "Juanjuan and Xiaobao are indeed a pair of people. Let's talk about using my Tubo livestock to exchange for food from the Tang Dynasty."

"Thank you for your praise." Wang Juan smiled and said thanking, "I can't make the decision about changing things. Xiaobao, it's your turn, don't forget it. They are not going to talk about war compensation now."

Zhang Xiaobao pushed the big abacus aside and nodded, "Okay, I'll do that... Ke Mu Jiji, right? How do you change it? In this way, I'll tell you my conditions first and let you take the initiative. What do you think?"

But Mu Jiji patted his forehead with his hands, and he was going crazy. Why did he get these two people involved during the negotiation? He is still proactive. Does he have the time to take the initiative?

When someone asked, let’s talk first, then let’s talk? Ke Mu Ji signaled Zhang Xiaobao to speak.

Zhang Xiaobao looked excited, his hands shining, his eyes shining, and coughed, saying, "Because you Tubo's troubles behind us have almost impacted the economy of Jiannandao, causing great damage to the entire financial system. Therefore, in the spirit of pacifism, we resolutely decided to help our neighboring countries in the face of unstable financial system.

But we really can't produce too much food, such as rice, not at all, and wheat, not at all. We only have corn to provide to you.

I believe you have learned a lot of things before coming, and even if you don’t understand, it’s okay. I will tell you that because you have controlled the food price in Jiannandao, our lives are not easy. In addition, you have taken action against the livestock industry at the same time, so the livestock in Jiannandao has reached the point where we cannot eat enough.

Most of the corn is to be fed to livestock, and the remaining part is exchanged for you. A bucket of corn is fifty cents, and you can exchange it for livestock. How about it?"

Ke Mu Ji and others were stunned. The words were said from a little kid, which made people feel very ridiculous, but the little kid was very unreasonable.

Such excuses and prices are even cursing people. Is it shameless? What kind of corn can be worth fifty dollars per dou? Can the emperor in the capital eat it?

Ke Mujiji's people behind him wanted to refute again, but Ke Mujiji stopped him. He had his own idea and said, "To be honest, it's really expensive, but since it's not easy for you, then according to this price.

Due to the war, I, Tubo, have also lost a lot of food and grass, and it is not easy to raise livestock. A donkey, even if it costs fifteen stakes, or a horse that pulls a cart, is twenty stakes. How about exchanging it with you?"

"So cheap? Donkeys and ordinary horses pulling carts really only need this little money?" Zhang Xiaobao asked in surprise.

"Yes." Ke Mu Jiji responded with a smile.

Zhang Xiaobao looked sad and said, "It's a pity that we were planning to change livestock but not for work. We have a tricycle and wanted to kill and eat meat. If the price is really at this price, it's better to transfer meat from other places. We can't afford it. The livestock eat too much.

In this case, we should use the excess corn to exchange livestock in our country. You can wait for two months. If we still have surplus, then we don’t have money to give it to you for nothing. We can’t let your people starve to death.”

Zhang Xiaobao said helplessly, but he did not feel helpless in his words, that is, he would not change it, and he refused very tactfully.

Thinking that the other party was back to bargaining, Ke Muji, who followed the bargaining, was stunned at this time, and the other party refused directly.

The two maids who were responsible for pouring tea and water to hold back their smiles. Their eyes were filled with pity when they looked at Ke Mu and the seven people, and they thought they couldn't negotiate with anyone, and they had to meet the young master and the young lady. The methods they had thought of at the beginning could not be used, right?

Old Man Bi and the other two were very comfortable on the side. They thought this negotiation would be very difficult, because Tubo had talked with the Tang Dynasty a lot before, and each time he could not achieve better results.

Sometimes when you make a tough stance on your side, the other party doesn't compromise at all. The main reason is that both sides are adults, and they all know that war is not a joke. If you can be harmonious, you can risk using war to threaten unless you are sure. Unexpectedly, if you change to two children, the other party will be helpless.

The little kid is not like an adult. He thinks a lot of things and will do what he thinks is true. If an adult threatens to send troops, the Tubo people will not believe it, but Juanjuan says that he will send troops, there is absolutely nothing to doubt.
