After noon, the negotiations for the pleasing of Andong in a tent in Gubeikoubian City officially kicked off.

The primary content of negotiation is the redistribution of Anton's power and interests. How to divide responsibilities and rights related to Anton is the basis for negotiations between the two parties. Without this foundation, negotiations cannot continue.

The conditions proposed by Zhongtu were that after Andong was surrendered, the military, government and financial power would be handed over. Military and Andong's current army was under the Twelve Guards, and they would undertake the task of garrisoning Andong. Administratively, they would divide the county and county levels into administrative divisions. The county and county accepted the central leadership, and as for the financial power, they would be divided by the central government and local counties.

The condition proposed by Andong was that Andong called the vassal autonomy. Since it was a vassal, of course it had complete autonomy, and the military, political and financial powers were all in its own hands, and it was responsible for the important task of garrisoning the country and territories. In contrast, the central government must also bear the important task of supporting and protecting the vassal while recognizing and accepting the new vassal of Andong.

The conditions of the two sides are very different, and the differences are too great, so there is no agreement at all.

However, due to the severe domestic situation and heavy pressure from the palace, Duan Da had to lower his arrogant head and first give in. Based on the administrative divisions at the county and county levels, the Donghu species can be autonomous in their residential areas.

Anton sneered. Li Zixiong solemnly reminded Duan Da that Anton was outside the Great Wall and the habitat of the Donghu species. For example, Anzhou was the residence of the Xi people, south of the Ruoluo River was the residence of the Khitan tribes, and north of the Ruoluo River was the residence of the Wu tribes. The Han surname, the Han surname and the Turkic people were the real minority groups of Andong.

"If you don't know Anton, we can introduce you in detail and give you plenty of time to go to Anton to conduct field inspections and verifications. Then, when you have agreed and come up with new negotiation conditions, you and I will sit down and negotiate, what about?" Li Zixiong sneered, "On the contrary, if you clearly understand Anton but ignore the facts and come up with this unrealistic negotiation condition, it only means that you have no sincerity in advising, and you and I have no need to negotiate."

Duan Da retorted, "If you don't know the specific meaning of the pleading, we can explain it in detail. The so-called pleading means that Anton surrenders to Middle-earth, loyal to Middle-earth, loyal to the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, rather than a vassal named as a minister and a prince. You are weak, but arrogant, overestimated, and attempt to dominate the world. How can you be sincere in your sincerity?"

Both sides were verbally quarreled, and the dispute was extremely fierce.

Cui Hongsheng decisively dissuaded and then questioned Andong, "Since Andong is a habitat for all kinds of Donghu, and you and the Turks are both minorities, how do you call the vassal autonomy in Andong? How can you ensure the stability of Andong?"

"The so-called autonomy of Andong is the autonomy of all ethnic groups." Yuan An immediately explained, "We have an idea, that is, to establish an Anzhou General Administration in Andong, which will be autonomous from the Han surname and the Han-Shenized Lu surname, and three other governors' offices, namely the Songshan Governor's Office, which is autonomous from the Xi tribe, the Raole Governor's Office, which is autonomous from the Khitan, and the Songmo Governor's Office, which is autonomous from the Turks and the Jun tribe. Judging from the actual situation of Andong and the long-term stability of Andong, the decentralization of autonomy and the autonomy of all ethnic groups is the most realistic and in line with the interests of all parties."

As soon as this statement was made, it was immediately fiercely criticized by Duan Dayi's side.

According to historical experience, Anton's idea has considerable limitations. If this idea wants to achieve the goal of stabilizing Anton, it first requires a powerful Middle Earth, an unrivalled Middle Earth that swept across all directions. There is no opponent in the world. Only powerful can shock the enemy. Otherwise, the autonomy of each ethnic group is equivalent to fighting on its own, a scattered sand, exactly the same as before the Turks' previous efforts to control the Donghu. As long as there is a mutation, this barely control will collapse immediately, and the enemy will run wild and be defeated.

Li Zixiong did not show any weakness and refuted fiercely. If the autonomy of each ethnic group cannot solve the problem of Anton's stability, then it would be even more unimaginable to divide the counties and counties. It is purely a paper talk and there is no possibility of practical operation.

At dusk, the two sides parted in disagreement and agreed to talk tomorrow.

Duan Da and others returned to Gubeikou, rushed to Yanle City with a horse and reported to Yuwen Shu about the negotiations.

After hearing this, Yuwen Shu refused to comment, but just waved her hand and asked them to go back and rest.

Duan Da and Cui Hongsheng were eating and washing up, and were about to go to bed, when they suddenly received a message from Yuwen Shu, asking them to discuss tomorrow's negotiations.

The three of them gathered together, and Yuwen Shu took out the Holy Lord's edict, "I just received it this afternoon, so you can take a look first."

The imperial edict is concise and flexible. In Anton's autonomy, it is necessary to achieve the goal of recruiting and retrieval within the scheduled time. This is also very obvious. It is to agree to Anton's autonomy requirements with no choice, first obtain the martial arts of expanding territory, first help the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to alleviate the current internal and external difficulties. Next, the specific negotiations can be delayed. Until the third Eastern Expedition begins, the main force of Anton's army will expedition to Liaodong and step into the trap set by the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. Then wait for the goal to be achieved, and Anton's strength will be greatly reduced. The Holy Lord and the Central Committee will completely control Anton without any effort, and then they can kill and seize it, doing whatever they want.

The plan is a good plan, and the risk does not seem to be great. You are basically sure to win, but you are not afraid of 10,000, but you are afraid that if you fail, Anton will create another miracle. With the rapid development of the third Eastern Expedition, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee will not lose the rice. Instead, it will help Anton to form a separatist situation. It will inevitably severely attack the authority of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee and cause bad political influence. At that time, people will come out to take responsibility. Duan Da, who is in charge of the negotiations, is the first to be the brunt of the negotiations and cannot escape the misfortune. As for Yuwen Shu, as long as the Holy Lord is in power, he will be a political "tumbler". Just imagine what the blame is for the defeat of the First Eastern Expedition? What is the result? Yuwen Shu is still the most powerful military leader in the military, still the absolute confidant of the Holy Lord, and still the core member of the highest decision-making level in China. This is enough to illustrate the problem.

Duan Da had no expression on his face and said nothing.

Cui Hongsheng looked grim. The more he thought deeply, the stronger the ominous feeling in his heart.

Cui Hongsheng keenly realized from this edict that the palace had made a new assessment of the situation in Anzhou and Northeast China, which should be due to the latest report from Gubeikou. The news that the victory of the Anzhou Northern Expedition had definitely shocked the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, making them realize that Anton's strength was developing rapidly, and the variables of the pleading were greatly increased. The only countermeasure was to speed up the pleading speed, and the only way was to make greater compromises and concessions. However, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee could not make concessions on the issue of principle, and it was impossible to grant Andong's autonomy, so this edict that was "ambiguous" at the key points but was very clear in the goal.

Why is the key point "ambiguity"? What is the upper and lower limit of flexibility? It is very clear? This is a means by which the Holy Lord and the Central Committee intentionally shirk responsibility. If the executor does it well, they will be happy if they have good results. On the contrary, as long as the result is not good, no matter how hard the executor makes, they will bear all the responsibilities caused by this.

Why did the Holy Lord and the Central Committee shirk responsibility? Obviously there was no good result. Why were there pessimistic predictions? From the standpoint of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, it is impossible to grant Andong the autonomy. In other words, even if Yuwen Shu, Duan Da and Cui Hongsheng succeeded in recruiting and exchanging their autonomy for Andong's surrender, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee would not recognize this promise of responsibility. It is not difficult to infer that the Holy Lord and the Central Committee should go back on their word on autonomy, so they used negotiations to deliberately deceive Andong and used negotiation results to induce

Anton jumped into a trap and planned to kill two birds with one stone. In this way, everyone will make a contribution if they succeed, and all the people will have the motivation to plot against Anton. On the contrary, if they fail, the scapegoat will be Yuwen Shu, Duan Da and Cui Hongsheng, and Yuwen Shu and Duan Da are both confidants of the Holy Lord. Cui Hongsheng was the one who suffered a lot in the end. Therefore, the situation is very obvious. The pressure of this plea bargaining negotiation actually fell on Cui Hongsheng alone. Success was Cui Hongsheng, and Cui Hongsheng was defeated, which forced Cui Hongsheng to a dead end.

Cui Hongsheng was so angry that he was also very impressed by Li Fengyun's "foresight". Thinking of the many extraordinary foresights since Li Fengyun and Cui's secret cooperation, Cui Hongsheng couldn't help but sigh that the tiger father had no dog son, Li Delin was a wise man of a generation, and his descendants, whether Li Baiyao or Li Pingyuan, were all contemporary heroes and would have great achievements in the future.

Cui Yu and Cui Jiu traveled thousands of miles to Chifeng, and personally visited Li Fengyun. The biggest achievement of visiting Li Fengyun was to win Cui Hongsheng an opportunity to reverse the crisis. Although the risk was very high, there was no other way to go. Cui Hongsheng was a little hesitant at first, deeply doubting Li Fengyun's prediction, and very cautious about cooperation between the two sides. But now seeing this edict, looking at the attitudes of Yuwen Shu and Duan Da, Cui Hongsheng had to admit that Li Fengyun's prediction was correct. He really jumped into the trap of the Holy Lord and the Reformers and became a slaughtering lamb. Now, in order to save himself, he has to take risks.

Yuwen Shu did not give Duan Da and Cui Hongsheng too long to think, "Time is tight and the task is heavy. We must discuss the result tonight and we must finalize the bottom line of this negotiation."

Duan Da said without hesitation, "The autonomy cannot be compromised. Once it is compromised, it will have a great blow to centralization, with extremely bad impact and extremely serious consequences."

Cui Hongsheng stroked his long beard with his hand and pondered without saying a word.

Yuwen Shu and Duan Da both looked at him and waited for him to speak.

"The so-called flexibility and flexibility, to put it bluntly, is to use any means to achieve the goal." Cui Hongsheng looked disdainful, "Since he has used all means, what else should he care about? Of course, if he can cheat, he will cheat. He will first trick Anton into getting the martial arts of the Xinjiang master first, first solve the urgent needs of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, and then try every means to continue cheating, delay the responsibility and use all means. As long as he tricks Anton's army into the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, the overall situation can be determined, and Anton can be considered as a guaranteed one."

"Where will the plan come out?" Yuwen Shu asked immediately.

"The key is flexibility and flexibility." Cui Hongsheng said in a pretentious manner, "If we can't bear to leave our children and can't trap the wolf. If we don't give Anton's autonomy, we will not be able to trick Anton's army into the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition. Therefore, the autonomy must be given to Anton. Just how to give it, we must be adapted."

"How to adapt?" Yuwen Shu asked.
