The crossing starts from the Datang Shuanglong

Chapter 309 Bargaining
bargain!

As Chu Tianxiu expected, under the situation he created, Gao Kaidao's only choice was to raise his hands and surrender, because of his current strength and the current situation in the world, not only did he not have the capital to dominate the world, he even Even the qualifications to occupy one side and become a regional overlord do not exist.

During this process, the only question was whether Chu Tianxiu's price could satisfy Gao Kaidao's taste.

Even in Chu Tianxiu's eyes, Gao Kaidao and the Great Yan Kingdom he established can almost be regarded as the last power among the world's princes.But no matter what, Gao Kaidao is also a self-made vassal of the righteous army. He naturally knows the truth that a man who stands between heaven and earth cannot live in depression for a long time.

If the price offered by Chu Tianxiu is too small to satisfy his appetite, then with the temperament of a person like Gao Kaidao, I am afraid that if he knows he will die, he will fight to the end.

The general manager of Weizhou, the king of Shangzhu Kingdom and Beiping County.

Gao Kaidao said that this was the condition put forward by the Guanlong Li Clan, and Chu Tianxiu believed it.

Don't look at Li Yuan, the lord of the Li Clan, who looks stupid, mediocre and incompetent, but since he was able to unify the world and become Tang Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally has a few brushes in his hands. bear his identity.

The Yuyang County occupied by Gao Kaidao is located in the Youzhou area, thousands of miles away from the control area of ​​the Li Clan, and it is truly beyond the reach of the whip.Under such circumstances, Li Yuan casually took out the emperor's seal, stamped a seal on a piece of imperial decree, and used a favorable and cost-effective official title to win over and stabilize Gao Kaidao, which was the proper meaning.

In fact, this method is not original to Li Clan. When Chu Tianxiu was in Jiangdu, he played it more easily than Li Clan.

If Chu Tianxiu hadn't taken advantage of the civil strife in Jiangdu and the opportunity of Yang Guang being killed, he had directly moved into Jiangdu and taken down the small court in Jiangdu, and then used the last bit of prestige of the Sui Dynasty to issue imperial edicts and canonize randomly, so as to make a fool of himself Otherwise, he would not be able to move into the Central Plains so easily and win half of the world.

However, in the past, Chu Tianxiu could make arbitrary conditions, just to be able to stabilize a prince like Gao Kaidao, but now that Chu Tianxiu's power has expanded to the Youzhou area, it is already bordering on Gao Kaidao, so it is naturally impossible Let him completely form his own system, independent of Da Zhou.

"General Zhang, there's no need to talk nonsense! Li Clan's conditions are indeed good, but I'm afraid you all know whether such conditions can be counted. However, General Gao is willing to help me protect the environment and the people, so I can give him I don't know what you want to do with the position of the governor of Weizhou and the Duke of Beiping." Chu Tianxiu said in a deep voice.

Chu Tianxiu's price is already very high, at least higher than the value of Gao Kaidao himself. If Chu Tianxiu is not in a bad situation at this time, Gao Kaidao needs to protect the environment and the people by himself, and send troops to defend the "" Shanhaiguan", otherwise he would never have given such excellent conditions.

But what Chu Tianxiu didn't expect was that his own sincerity was enough, but Zhang Jinshu showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said with a wry smile:
"His Majesty Zhou, before I left the city, my lord told me that other conditions may not be discussed, but he must have a title of prince to honor his ancestors. If your majesty cannot agree to this condition, then I am afraid that it will be difficult for my lord to return to you!"

Gao Kaidao's condition made Chu Tianxiu slightly taken aback, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed in his heart, because since he established the country, he has conferred the titles of overseas princes and domestic dukes, but he has never granted the title of county in the kingdom. king.

If he agreed to Gao Kaidao's conditions, then from today onwards, Gao Kaidao would become the first county king of the newly born Great Zhou Dynasty, and he could be regarded as a super prince just below Chu Tianxiu's status!
If Chu Tianxiu hadn't captured Wang Shichong, Li Mi might have agreed to his condition and used a favorable and costless extension to win over him, a northern prince, but today, it is absolutely impossible for him Yes!

"General Zhang, you have no control over this matter! So go back and tell Gao Kaidao about this condition, see if he agrees, and then come back and report to me."

Chu Tianxiu narrowed her eyes slightly, with neither joy nor anger on her face, she just said that.

Zhang Jinshu wanted to say a few more words at first, but when he saw Chu Tianxiu's knife-like eyes, he couldn't help but shuddered, and said hastily:

"Obey! I'll go back and report to the King!"

When Zhang Jinshu left the city, he went out alone. Naturally, when he went back, he also went back alone, and because he seemed to have felt the annoyance under Chu Tianxiu's calm expression, he went quickly and came back. It was also fast, but after walking for an hour, he hurried over, sweating profusely and said:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that the Turkic people will soon invade Shanhaiguan and approach the city with soldiers. Since ancient times, emperors have not sent hungry soldiers. If you don't give him a title, why should he send troops outside the Great Wall to fight the Turkic people to death? "

In this world, no one is a fool.Before Chu Tianxiu came here, he first stayed in Shanhaiguan for ten days and took a rest for a day. Such a long time was enough for Chu Tianxiu to kill Bi Xuan and win the news of Shanhaiguan, which spread all over the sky. That's right, and the reason why Gao Kaidao dared to bargain with Chu Tianxiu and insisted on asking for the title of prince with only a corner of the land was because he knew that after Bi Xuan's death, the Turks would definitely invade Shanhaiguan.

If Gao Kaidao is willing to lower his family's conditions at this time and bargain with Chu Tianxiu, then it will only make him feel a little unhappy, but Gao Kaidao's attitude really aroused Chu Tian With a hint of anger in Xiu's heart, he said bluntly:

"Gao Kaidao is a good idea! However, after the Turks invaded Shanhaiguan, he should be clear about whether they would plunder Yuyang County and insult the people under his rule. He would be ashamed to use this as a condition. Tell him that he can be given the position of the governor of Weizhou, but he can only be given the title of Marquis of Beiping! See what he wants?"

Even if Zhang Jinshu knew that Gao Kaidao would never be satisfied with Chu Tianxiu's conditions, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush back to the city to pass the news back.

This time, his speed was even faster, and within a quarter of an hour, he hurried back from the city carefully, and whispered:
"Your Majesty, the king still disagrees. He said that even Duke Beiping doesn't like him. That is a mere marquis. Is that sending a beggar? If His Majesty still disagrees with his request, he will—"

Before Zhang Jinshu finished speaking, the frowning Chu Tianxiu interrupted him and said coldly:
"Director of Weizhou, the Marquis of Beiping is not allowed! How about the prefect of Yuyang?"

After Chu Tianxiu spoke in general, there was a gleam in his eyes, and he continued,

"General Zhang, since Gao Kaidao disagrees, then you can help me settle this matter! After the matter is completed, I will make you the prefect of Yuyang today!"
