Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2270 Qin Tang Luoyang Treaty

Chapter 2266: Treaty of Qin and Tang Luoyang

"Mr. Zhang Yi, my capital has already agreed to surrender and relinquish the throne, but you still want to cede the entire Zuo Fengling and the three counties of You Fufeng. This is too much appetite." Li Shangyin said angrily.

There are a total of 38 counties in three counties in Guanzhong, and 14 counties have been occupied by the Qin army so far.

Zuo Fengling has 13 counties, of which 7 counties have been surrendered to Qin, and only 5 counties are still under the control of the Tang army.

There are 15 counties in Youfufeng, and 4 counties are in the hands of Qin.

Once the eight counties requested by the Qin State fall into the hands of the Qin Army, the originally scattered territories of the Qin Army will be connected into a whole, and they will completely gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong.

At that time, Guanzhong will be divided into two, showing the trend of splitting from north to south.

The northern part of Guanzhong, as well as the eastern part, belonged to the Qin army, while the southern and western parts belonged to Li Tang.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to expel the Qin army from Guanzhong, which Li Shangyin would not want to see anyway.

"It is absolutely impossible to cede the eight counties of Zuo Fengling and You Fufeng." Li Shangyin resolutely refused.

Regarding Li Shangyin's reaction, Zhang Yi seemed not surprised at all, and said with a light smile, "Dare to ask the envoy Tang, can the defense power of these 8 counties be compared with that of Xiaoguan and Wuguan?"

Li Shangyin was silent for a while and then replied: "Of course I can't."

"Even Xiaoguan and Wuguan were breached by our army, and now Chang'an is also in danger. Does your envoy think that our army has no ability to break through these five counties?"

Hearing this, Li Shangyi dared not speak.

Zhang Yi's attitude is already very obvious. If you don't take the five counties of Zuo Fengling and don't connect the acquired lands into a whole, the Qin army's foundation in Guanzhong will be unstable after all. Therefore, whether Li Tangtong agrees or not, the five counties of Zuo Fengling The state of Qin in the county will be settled.

Li Shangyin only felt powerless in his heart for a while, and now he really realized how correct and cruel the sentence Ying Hao said: weak countries have no diplomacy.

Li Shangyin finally understood that the choice given by Qin Guo was actually to either give up Chang'an or leave the five counties of Fengling.

Abandoning Chang'an is tantamount to giving up the entire Guanzhong.

Give up the 5 counties of Zuo Fengling and the 3 counties of You Fufeng, and still have half of Guanzhong.

Therefore, he had no choice but to choose the latter.

"Datang can cede land, but there are too many 8 counties, and Daqin must also guarantee that after Datang surrenders, the Qin army will not be the first to use troops against Datang." Li Shangyin said seriously.

"Of course, but the premise is that Tang cannot betray Daqin." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Li Shangyin nodded, began to discuss the number of ceded counties, and proposed that only 3 counties could be ceded at most.

Naturally, it was impossible for Zhang Yi to agree, but after talking for a long time, even when four counties were mentioned, the discussion could no longer continue.

In this regard, both Zhang Yi and Li Shangyin chose to keep the same differences while reserving differences, and began to continue to discuss the following regulations.

"Mr. Zhang Yi, you claim that Qin Hai, Sima Yi, and Kong Peng are traitors of the Qin State, but as far as I know, neither Sima Yi nor Kong Peng served in the Qin State."

The implication is that if you want to pay, you can only pay Hu Hai alone, and it is impossible for the other two times.

For such a morally corrupt and useless waste like Hu Hai, Li Tang might have protected him when he was strong, but now that the Tang State itself is hard to protect, it is naturally impossible to protect him.

As for Sima Yi and Kong Peng, they are both the top civil and military talents, so it is naturally impossible to give up.

"But Sima Yi betrayed the Sima family, planned a coup d'etat, participated in the rebellion, and caused great losses to Daqin..."

Zhang Yi put pressure on Li Shangyin from various aspects, saying that Li Shangyin was sweating on his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

The two sides talked for an afternoon, but there were still many differences. No one could say who was who. We could only continue the discussion tomorrow.

Before leaving, Zhang Yi threatened: "Mr. Li, let me remind you that negotiations are negotiations, and wars are wars. If Chang'an City is breached by our army during our negotiations, you will have to pay far more than that." gone."

"you……"

Li Shangyin was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he had no choice. He couldn't make decisions about some things, so he could only fly pigeons to send letters back, wait for the order from the king of Tang, and at the same time contact envoys from various countries to put pressure on Qin.

The next day, Li Shangyin brought the envoys of Shu, Chu, Song, Wu, Ming, and Sui to negotiate with Zhang Yi, and together with the power of seven, he tried to force Zhang Yi to back down.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi called envoys from the Wei State and the Southern and Barbarian countries to build momentum for him, and asked them to watch from the sidelines.

Facing the pressure from the Seven Kingdoms, Zhang Yi still stood firmly on the bottom line, and fought against the envoys with his own strength, bringing the art of negotiation to the extreme.

The two sides have been debating for a whole day, advancing and retreating from each other, but there are still a lot of differences.

The Seven Kingdoms were shocked by Zhang Yi's toughness, especially the attitudes of Song and Wu became more ambiguous.

In this regard, the Qin-Tang negotiations initially reached a deadlock, and it was not until the arrival of Sun Jian and Zhao Kuangyin and the return of Chang'an's Feige that the deadlock was broken again.

After Sun Jian and Zhao Kuangyin arrived, they did not directly express their opinions on the negotiations between Qin and Tang, but during the meeting with King Qin, they said a few words for Tang Guo. This attitude also made Ying Hao vigilant.

Although Qin State doesn't care about the opinions of these hostile countries such as Shu and Chu, the three allies of Wei, Song and Wu have to care.

Once they all turn against Qin State, then Qin State will really be the enemy of the whole world, and Qin State still needs the existence of these allies before it can completely digest the land of Hebei and restore its national strength.

In order to save face for Song and Wu, Ying Hao gave Zhang Yi an order to take a step back on the issue of land cession, and finally talked about only ceding 5 counties of Zuo Fengling.

With 5 counties in hand, Qin's territory in Guanzhong can still be connected into a whole piece.

As for Li Shimin's flying pigeon letter, while giving Li Shangyin greater negotiating authority, he also told Li Shangyin to let him end the negotiation as soon as possible.

In the end, Zhang Yi proposed to halve the war allocation, and Li Shangyin accepted all Qin's conditions.

Witnessed by many countries such as Chu, Shu, Sui, Wei, Song and Wu, Li Shangyin represented the Tang State, and Zhang Yi represented the Qin State, and jointly signed the famous "Treaty of Qin, Tang and Luoyang".

The "Treaty of Luoyang in the Qin and Tang Dynasties" has eighteen large and small regulations:

Article [-]: From now on, the Tang State broke away from the Puppet Han Dynasty, professed its vassal to the Great Qin, and voluntarily became a subordinate state of the Great Qin.

The second article, Li Shimin, the king of Tang Dynasty, resigned from the throne and lowered his title to Duke.

Third, Qin and Tang took the current occupied land as the dividing line, and Tang State was ceding the 5 counties of Zuo Fengling to Qin State.

……

No.11, Li Shimin wants to accept the mistake of besieging Luoyang, and personally apologize to the soldiers who died in the battle of Qin...

……

No.15, the Tang State returned Qin Hai, the traitor of the Qin State...

……

No.18, after the armistice, the Qin and Tang Dynasties jointly disarmed, and the total strength of the two countries in Guanzhong should not exceed [-].
