My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 683 Negotiations reached a deadlock
"Your Highness, we have made concessions several times. The main city of Kabul can be given to you, but the two corner cities ten miles away cannot be given to us. For this, we are willing to pay an extra 50 gold coins. Isn't this enough to show our sincerity? ?"

In Zhan Shi's house, Timur's deputy envoy, Fireman, argued with Zhu Zhanhe with a solemn face. Beisun, who was sitting next to him, suddenly turned red with anger, but gritted his teeth and did not dare to speak, because before he came, his father Shaharul He is strictly prohibited from participating in negotiations, and everything is left to the Fire Man to negotiate with the Han people.

"No, we big men don't lack this kind of money. The main city of Kabul and the two corner cities are integrated. If we only give it to the main city, what's the difference between not giving it to us?"

Zhu Zhanhe said without giving in.

In addition to the main city, Kabul also has two corner cities, and the locations of these two corner cities are very important. Not only can they station heavy troops, but they can also form a pincer attack on Kabul. If the Han only gets the main city, Timur will Er's army may attack the main city from the corner city at any time, and Kabul may be recaptured by the other party.

"The most valuable thing in Kabul is the main city. You have already captured the main city, why are you still struggling with two small corner cities?"

The fireman also argued without giving in.

The fireman is probably in his 50s, his hair and beard are half gray, and he looks very resolute. It is said that he was also a fierce general when he was young. He followed Shaharul in the north and south, and helped him unify the divided Timurid Empire. Shaharul was One of his most trusted ministers.

"Deputy envoy, you are also a man who knows soldiers, so don't play tricks on this kind of thing. Since I want Kabul, I won't let these guys leave anything behind. Either give them all to us, or... hehe!"

When Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, he showed a threatening smile. After all, the initiative was in their hands, and the Timur mission had no capital to bargain with him.

"Your Highness, your request is too much. We need time to think about it!"

The fireman took a deep breath and did not agree immediately, but used delaying tactics.

"Okay, I will be hosting a banquet for envoys from various countries here tomorrow. I hope you can be there too!"

Zhu Zhanhe stopped pretending and directly moved out the Black Sheep Mission and the Ottoman Mission to threaten each other.

"you……"

Beisun suddenly couldn't sit still anymore and stood up immediately to get angry.

But the guards around Zhu Zhanhe were not vegetarians. As soon as Besunhu stood up, the guards had already put their hands on the sabers. If Besunhu dared to be disrespectful in any way, his blood would immediately be splashed on the spot.

Fortunately, Huo Zhe had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed Bei Sunhu, and then smiled at Zhu Zhanhe and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince is hosting a banquet, of course we have to come, and we can also taste the Han Dynasty's palace delicacies!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting here tomorrow!"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled faintly and then waved to see the guests off.

Bei Sunhu was still a little unconvinced, but when he saw the murderous guards behind Zhu Zhanhe and thought that he was in a foreign country, he could only suppress the anger in his chest and left the hall under the pull of the fireman.After Besunhu and the two left, Li Qi next to him finally said with a smile: "Your Highness, this fireman is really difficult to deal with. Even at this time, he still refuses to let go. On the contrary, Besunhu is really difficult to deal with." If you can’t keep calm, no wonder you will be defeated by Your Majesty on the battlefield!”

"The Fire Man is an important minister next to Shaharu. When the Timur Empire split, he followed Shaharu in the north and south, and finally unified the territory of the Timur Empire. Now asking him to agree to cede Kabul is no different. I want to cut flesh from him, that’s why he is so difficult to deal with!”

When Zhu Zhanhe mentioned the Fire Man, there was an expression of respect on his face. Such a minister would still be admired even if he was in an enemy country.

In fact, this was not their first negotiation. They had held three previous negotiations, each time more difficult than the last. The two sides had a lot of arguments and compromises over the details of the hostage exchange for land. In the end, the conflict was concentrated in the two corner cities. Up to now, there has been no progress.

It was because of the deadlock in the negotiations that Zhu Zhanhe decided to hold a banquet tomorrow and invite both the Black Sheep Mission and the Ottoman Mission. If the Timur Mission still refused to agree, he would discuss the sale with the two missions. It's a matter of population.

At the same time, Bei Sunhu, who had left Zhan Shi's Mansion, finally threw the shooter away and said angrily: "That's so bullying. That burly prince is simply a devil. He threatens us with his eldest brother's life at every turn. Just now I really want to chop him with a knife!"

"Beisunhu, if you do this again, don't come here next time. Just stay in the post and rest, and I will be responsible for the negotiations!"

When Huo Zhe heard Bei Sunhu's words, he was also very angry.

In these negotiations, Besunhu often couldn't control his temper, which had aroused the dissatisfaction of the big man, so the fireman was full of complaints against Besunhu. Even though the other party was the son of the Sultan, the fireman was not afraid of him.

"I……"

Beisun suddenly saw that even the Fire Man was not on his side, and was so angry that he wanted to get angry again. However, seeing that the Fire Man was exhausted mentally and physically due to the negotiations during this period, he suddenly softened, and the fire in his chest suddenly disappeared. Dissipated.

If we say who is under the greatest pressure in the entire mission, it is undoubtedly Huo Zhe. Not only does he have to negotiate with the difficult Han prince, but when he returns to Timur in the future, he may also have to bear the compensation for the ceded territory. His infamy was nothing compared to the grievances he suffered?
Seeing that Besunhu finally calmed down, Huo Zhe sighed and said again: "The current situation is very unfavorable to us. The Black Sheep Mission and the Ottoman Mission are both here. Tomorrow the Han Prince will entertain three more missions. , must be trying to use them to put pressure on us, I’m worried that if we don’t agree to their conditions, the big man will probably hand Ulugh Beg over to them!”

"We must not let the eldest brother fall into the hands of the Black Sheep Dynasty or the Ottomans. Otherwise, not only will the eldest brother die, but our Timur family will also be completely disgraced!"

Bei Sun suddenly said categorically. Although he was impulsive, he could distinguish the serious from the serious.

"Whether it is the Black Sheep Dynasty or the Ottomans, it is not easy to exchange Ulugh Beg from the big Han. What they can give is nothing more than some wealth and beautiful women. In comparison, the big Han will definitely want Kabul. A strategic location!"

The Fire Man analyzed it very calmly. It must be said that he was indeed powerful. He could see the biggest weaknesses of the Black Sheep Dynasty and the Ottomans at a glance.

"But we can't underestimate them. If they come up with enough wealth to make the big man's heart beat, my eldest brother will be in danger. It seems that we have to come up with something for the big man to see!"

Beisun suddenly nodded, and then said with burning eyes.
