After hearing the conditions proposed by Zhao, many Liao officials became ugly. They knew that it would definitely be more beneficial to Zhao if the mutual market was opened to complete free trade, and the restriction on horse exports was originally formulated to restrict Zhao's development of cavalry.

national policy, this cannot be agreed easily.

But this was not over yet, Lu Sheng continued to read:

"Fifth, ask the Liao Kingdom to pay 10 million guan in compensation."

"Sixth, return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the State of Zhao. From now on, the two countries of Zhao and Liao will be bounded by the Great Wall, and the Great Wall will belong to the State of Zhao."

"Snapped!"

Yeluweizhen's face was full of anger, he slapped the table and stood up, saying angrily: "Impossible, the Liao Kingdom will never agree to such conditions. It seems that the Zhao Kingdom has no sincerity in the peace talks. If this is the case, how about we

Keep fighting, you must know that our army of 400,000 from Daliao is still in the territory of Zhao."

Other Liao people also had angry faces.

Yelvweizhen threw a document in his hand on the table and said angrily: "This is the condition of our Liao Kingdom. Envoy Zhao will take it back and have a look. That's it for today."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Other Liao officials also got up and left.

Yelu Qingri stood up, glared at Qin Guan, snorted coldly, and turned away.

Seeing the people from the Liao peace talks leaving, Lu Sheng put down the documents in his hand with some embarrassment and said to Qin Guan with a grimace: "Master Qin, I said it would anger the people of Liao. What should you do now?"

"If the other party is angered and peace talks fail, and the two sides start fighting again, it will be our responsibility."

Qin Guan smiled lightly and said: "The Liao Kingdom is so popular that those words are just to scare people. If they really wanted to continue the war, they would not have left their peace treaty documents before leaving."

Qin Guan took the document left by the Liao people, which contained the conditions for peace talks. There were not many conditions on it. They were similar to the initial conditions of Zhao. It was a good idea to form a brotherhood. The two sides returned to the original national boundaries and continued to maintain the original situation.

Just pretend that nothing happened and continue to open border trade and so on.

The only extra condition is that Qin Guan must pay back the money he robbed.

Seeing that the Liao State solemnly wrote down this article, Lu Sheng asked curiously: "Master Qin, how much property have you robbed the people of the Liao State, so that they will never forget it."

Qin Guan said calmly: "Haha, not much, it's just that the people of Liao are too petty."

Everyone said, "It's strange to believe you. If it were missing, the Liao people would attach so much importance to it."

Lu Sheng did not hesitate on this issue and asked Qin Guandao: "Then what do you think we will do next? We can't really break up the talks."

"If the talks don't break down, just make an appointment with the Liao people tomorrow to continue the talks," Qin Guan said.

Negotiation is a process of mental battle. If they can really defeat the other party on the battlefield and obtain greater benefits, they will not choose to sit down and negotiate.

When he returned to his residence, Yeluweizhen's face no longer looked ugly as he had just at the negotiation table, but became very calm.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Yeluweizhen asked about Yelulong's luck.

Yelu Longyun said: "I am afraid that these conditions were proposed by Qin Guan. Other Zhao officials did not dare to propose such exaggerated conditions. Qin Guan is cunning, wise, and very greedy. As long as he is given a chance, he will definitely impose severe demands on him."

We want conditions."

"How should we respond?"

Yelu Longyun said: "Isn't that what negotiation is all about? First, state your respective conditions, and then just talk. We in the Liao Kingdom are not without any confidence, and we will not let the Zhao people manipulate us at will."

"Where do you think our bottom line should be?" the second prince asked.

Yelu Longyun thought for a while and said: "At most, we agree to cancel the previous agreement, remove the old coins, and trade with each other. As for Yi and Dai, we cannot easily return them, and we cannot agree to other conditions."

The next day, the two sides sat at the negotiating table again.

Then there was a constant tug-of-war.

This is a war without gunpowder. We exchange ideas, exchange feelings, get angry, slap the table, and even threaten and intimidate. Both sides use all their methods.

Qin Guan participated in the negotiation and felt it was more tiring than fighting.

The first article is a truce, a reconciliation between the two sides, and the establishment of a brotherly country. This article is considered passed, and it has no meaning for both sides.

Article 2: After demarcating the boundary, the two sides shall not interfere with each other, and those who flee across the boundary shall be deported to each other. There is no problem with this provision.

Starting from the third article, the two sides began to fight.

The people of the Liao State agreed to open a mutual market, but they disagreed with allowing free trade of goods. The people of the Liao State were not stupid. They knew that the people of the Liao State had no resistance to the luxury goods and high-end goods of the Zhao State. If they agreed to free trade,

, maybe it won’t be long before the entire Liao State’s economy will be hollowed out by Zhao State.

The last item is tentatively scheduled to be the opening of mutual markets. The subsequent details can be discussed by specialized departments after the peace talks are completed.

Article 4: The "Treaty of Yizhou" is invalidated, and Zhao will no longer pay "year coins" to the Liao. The Liao agreed to this, but the Liao people did not agree to the return of Yizhou and Daizhou.

This article was half discussed, but this already made Lu Sheng and others very happy. Apart from the annual coins, it was an extra credit.

It seems that asking for high prices and paying back the money is still useful.

Article 5: Zhao State proposed that Zhao State should not be restricted from purchasing horses in Liao State. This was firmly opposed by Liao State. Yeluqing stared at Qin Guan angrily and said: "If we ask Zhao State to give us unlimited access to iron tools, explosives and

Would you also agree with that kind of black stick machine that can shoot projectiles with a snap?"

Both sides knew that this was their country's strategic material and would not be given easily. In the end, the Zhao delegation had no choice but to give up temporarily.

As for Article 6, the Liao State even refused to use it as a condition for negotiation.

Yelu Wei Zhen said: "Lu Shangshu, we did not get the Sixteen Prefectures from your Zhao State. Back then, Shi Jingtang rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and established himself. He worshiped me, Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, as his father. I, the Liao Dynasty, sent troops to help him establish the Later Jin Dynasty. Tianfu

Three years ago, Shi Jingtang gave us the Sixteen Yanyun Prefectures to the Liao Kingdom in accordance with the agreement. At that time, the Zhao State had not yet been established, and now the Great Zhao Kingdom requires us to return the Sixteen Yanyun Prefectures, which makes no sense."

Lu Sheng was said to be speechless.

After the Zhao State stated its conditions, the Liao State also stated its own requirements. There were several other good points to make. It was good to become brothers. The two sides ceased fighting, each withdrew their troops, returned to the original national boundaries, continued to maintain the original situation, and continued to open the border.

Border trade can be said to be the unanimous wish of both parties, but the last one is specifically for Qin Guan.

Yelvweizhen looked at Qin Guan and said: "Master Qin, you broke through Dading Mansion and the palace, and actually looted the palace of Liao Kingdom. Now the palace is empty. Even some of the exquisite screens and gems decorating the walls have been destroyed by you."
