Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 519 Wrangling is time-consuming

Liu Xieguang thought that this negotiation would be very intense, but he did not expect that it would be so intense.

Although both parties are very familiar with the situation at hand, they also know that negotiation is a nonsense without a teacher.But Liu Xie never imagined that the negotiating table would be filled with a strong smell of gunpowder just after a stick of incense.

The negotiator sent by Liu Xie this time was naturally Anyuan General Xun You, while his deputy was Sima Yi, the servant of Huangmen and Liu Xie's attendant.Xun You is undoubtedly a representative of maturity and prudence, mediating in the middle.And Sima Yi understood Liu Xie's intention for him to play better, so he showed his sharpness from the beginning, with the appearance of "the boss of the sky, Liu Xie's second child, and my third child", arrogant.

Cao Cao sent out this time his other minister Sima Xunyu, corresponding to Xunyou on Liu Xie's side.But it was Cheng Yu, who had a violent temper, who faced Sima Yi tit for tat.

Here, the two uncles and nephews hardly said anything in the negotiation field, and they were quite restrained, even polite.But for Sima Yi and Cheng Yu, it's you coming and going, spitting all over the place.Cheng Yu originally lied to Sima Yi when he was young, and wanted to impress him with the majestic knowledge of various schools of thought, but he never thought that Sima Yi's family education was very good, and he himself was very human. Did not lose the wind.Even, in terms of wit and quick thinking, Sima Yi's occasional unconventional insight can make Cheng Yu pause for a while.

Wrangling to such an extent, it is estimated that there will be no results when the universe destroys the heart is still there.So the next two people gave up such meaningless wrangling very tacitly, and entered the substantive negotiation stage.

The so-called substantive stage is that both sides of the negotiation put their demands on the table.But after listening to Cao Cao's request, Liu Xie seemed to feel that Cao Cao was a mentally handicapped child.

First, Cao Cao asked the Han army to withdraw from Yanzhou.This point is acceptable to Liu Xie. After all, after Cao Cao's two tricks were used, he obediently ran to Guanxi to quell the rebellion without Cao Cao's push.

Secondly, Cao Cao asked the Han Dynasty to restore his status as Yanzhou Mu, and made it known to the world.This request made Liu Xie feel that Cao Cao was starting to feel a little abnormal.He committed such a crime in Xuzhou that devastated the laws of nature. Liu Xie didn't want to retaliate when he had time, so he should burn incense. He still wanted to continue to be a member of the border under the banner of the Han Dynasty?
Then, Cao Cao asked Liu Xie to hand over Chen Gong and Zang Ba, because they almost burned Cao Cao to death when they were in Taishan County.When this request was made, Liu Xie immediately felt that Cao Cao was going crazy.After all, in Liu Xie's view, if Mount Tai didn't burn Cao Cao to death, he was considered blind...

The last point, Cao Cao is still wishful thinking, to be Liu Xie's father-in-law!This is simply too much!After Liu Xie heard this condition, he didn't even need Sima Yi and Xun You to refute, he wanted to stand up and say: That depends on whether your daughter is Bai Fumei!

Of course, this is purely a joke, even if Cao Cao's daughter is another Diao Chan, it is impossible for Liu Xie to have any relationship with Cao Cao at this time.Although he did marry Cao Cao's daughter in history, it is said that the young couple is still very affectionate, and Cao Cao's daughter is still very fond of Liu Xie... But the problem is that under the current situation, it is impossible for Liu Xie to agree to Cao Cao. unreasonable request.

From Cao Fang's four requirements, Liu Xie can basically judge that the first one is completely nonsense, and the third and fourth ones, it is estimated that Cao Cao himself knows that they are also nonsense.Only the second point is the focus of the dispute between the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao.

Sure enough, after half an hour, the three requirements were successfully negotiated.When it comes to the second negotiation, both parties are constantly testing each other's bottom line, striving for the greatest benefit for themselves.Another half an hour later, even though Liu Xie and Cao Cao were sitting at the negotiating table, and Xun Yu and Xun You were two envoys mediating with each other, Cheng Yu and Sima Yi still stared and slapped the table.

"You massacred Xuzhou, heaven and earth are outraged! Hundreds of thousands of wronged souls cry every night in the Sishui River. The corpses are stagnant and no one can bury them. They can only rot in the water, bait for fish and shrimp, and turn into pieces of bones. Your eyes! You are also raised by your own parents. If you do such a wicked thing, you still don’t know how to repent, and you still want to force the Han family to admit your crimes. Isn’t it ridiculous!”

Sima Yi's voice was sharp, with the typical accusation of a young man.But Liu Xie knew that Sima Yi was completely emotional. After all, resuming Cao Cao's position as Yanzhou Shepherd did not mean that the Han Dynasty recognized Cao Cao's atrocities, but Sima Yi deliberately mixed it up, just to make Cao Fang ashamed to continue talking.

But Cheng Yu had already seen through Sima Yi's plot, and he didn't explain the matter at all. He just said stubbornly: "Now that Kansai is in turmoil, Chen Liu has returned to my lord's command. I will not trap the Han army in this foreign land until now." , take the initiative to turn fighting into jade, isn't this the righteousness of a courtier?"

"The righteousness of a courtier, since ancient times, has that courtier forced the emperor to submit like this? Do you want to be like Wang Mang!" Sima Yi was the first to pat the table. After all, one of the advantages of being young is that he can do well. Go too far and not be blamed by others.

But Cheng Yu even dared to eat human flesh, so how could he allow a kid like Sima Yi to act presumptuously in front of him? He couldn't help but also slapped the negotiating table with a murderous look, and said smugly: "Don't know what's good or bad! The current chaotic world is turbulent, and it's Qin who lost his deer." You are like fish on a chopping board, if you don’t want to die in a foreign land, please be smart.”

This is where Cao Fang's advantage lies. After all, they are rebels now, so they can use the gangster spirit of rebels to force the Han Dynasty.Although the result of their persecution is that the Han Dynasty can make them good, it sounds a bit ironic.But I had to admit that what Cheng Yu said was true.

"Okay! I waited for the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and condescended to sit down with you and other rebels to negotiate. I just don't want to be filled with sorrow, and I have to kill you to die. I didn't expect you to be so ambitious. If so, I will see you on the battlefield!" Sima Yi also looked very angry. After saying this, he looked back at the bow case in Liu Xie's hand, meaning that next time you go to the battlefield, you'd better stay away...

This action had to be said to be very deterrent, and Cheng Yu couldn't help but froze: the Han Dynasty could say that they could kill Cao Cao with one arrow, but they didn't dare to say that they could also kill Liu Xie.If Cheng Yu was so stupid as to say this, there would really be no need to talk about this negotiation.

Therefore, it was Xun Yu who spoke this time: "Nephew, how can the matter of swords and soldiers be so trifling? Isn't it just to seek a way of reconciliation when I sit before the case?"

Xun Yu is older than Sima Yi. Although he has no friendship with Sima Fang, he is still qualified to be Sima Yi's uncle.And Sima Yi also knew that what he said just now was a bit too much. He was absolutely incapable of deciding the big event between the two armies. Xun Yu didn't point this out, obviously giving him face as a kid.

"Uncle is right..." Xun You said at this time, his face turned ugly.Because usually he also recognized Sima Yi as his nephew, but when Xun Yu spoke, he was with Sima Yi for the rest of his life.As soon as he thought of this, his next words were much less: "I think it's better to have a long-term plan."

After talking for more than an hour, it basically returned to the original point, and the two main envoys, Xun Yu and Xun You, came on stage, although their tone was much lighter.But going around and around still can't get around this core issue. Cao Cao's side just killed it, "We have spent so much effort, even if we want to return to Xuzhou before the Eastern Expedition, you have to agree to whatever you say."But Xun You, who represents the side of the Han Dynasty, has always had two words in his central meaning: nonsense!

Liu Xie, who was always silent on the sidelines, kept frowning for half an hour.He observed Cao Cao from time to time, and found that Cao Cao was always calm and relaxed, with an expression of victory.

Such an expression made Liu Xie really puzzled: Does Cao Cao still have a second hand, and needs to hold him back with negotiations, and then win with one blow?
Not too possible.

It's really unlikely.

But it's really impossible, why do they still do this?

Thinking of this, Liu Xie's stomach let out a grunt before he knew it.The sound was not loud, but everyone who had reached a deadlock in the negotiation heard it.

As a result, Liu Xie had no choice but to break the deadlock and put forward a very humane suggestion: "Ahem, that, everyone has talked a lot, and I'm hungry now. Why don't we just let it go today, we'll use it each time. Let’s take a rest for dinner, and we’ll continue talking tomorrow, how about it?”

"Very good, Your Majesty is wise!" Cao Cao finally opened his mouth, presumably he is too hungry right now...

Hey, I'm tired of negotiating, and it's still a waste of work.Sure enough, wrangling is a waste of time!
