Chapter 401: Post-War Deliberations
Shan Yufei then said with an unchanged face: "The second condition is that Qianguo can withdraw from the jurisdiction of Tuhe City, and we will still be a barrier for Qianguo to resist Yanying, but Your Majesty cannot interfere in the affairs of Tuhe City, let our barbarians manage themselves, and we will pay taxes and silver to Qianguo every year as usual, just let us govern ourselves." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Hao's face changed instantly, and he said in a slightly angry tone: "Sir, it's a bit excessive, have you ever thought about the consequences of saying this? Sir, this is to make Tuhe City a vassal state of my Qianguo." ”
The other people in the hall also looked solemn, this condition is related to the national body, in this case, Shan Yufei is simply nonsense to put forward this condition.
Qi Zu stood up and pointed at Shan Yufei angrily and said, "Isn't this condition equivalent to Tuhe City being your barbarian territory? ”
Shan Yufei faced the accusations of everyone in the hall, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, please listen to me calculate an account for you, in the former Tuhe City, although the guards were mainly my barbarian children, but the national capital also sent a lot of soldiers to prevent trouble, these people, not ten thousand, but also eight thousand, at this time, a sum of money." ”
"Secondly, in order to consolidate the defense of Tuhe City every year, Qianguo will allocate funds to repair Tuhe City, which is another expense, and Tuhe City is a pass, and there is very little land that can be cultivated, and the tax and silver that Tuhe City can pay every year is less than half of that of other cities. ”
Lin Hao said coldly: "So what, this shows the importance of Tuhe City to my country!"
Shan Yufei continued: "Your Majesty, please listen to the next first, if Your Majesty can agree to my conditions, Qianguo will not have to give Tuhe City a penny from now on, and Tuhe City will still become a solid fortress for Your Majesty to defend Yanying Kingdom, and Tuhe City's annual tribute will be the same as other cities, why not do such a deal?"
After listening to this, Lin Hao pondered for a while, what Shan Yufei said was not unreasonable, Qianguo does have a lot of budget for Tuhe City every year, and it also has to increase troops and fortifications, if these are all handed over to the barbarians in the future, then the financial pressure of Qianguo will be much smaller, and it can also draw troops to defend other places.
"How can I trust you barbarians, how can I guarantee that you won't have a second Shan Yuxu. Lin Hao said after thinking about it.
Shan Yufei said: "If Your Majesty has any concerns, you can choose the children of the barbarian tribe to take to the national capital as hostages. ”
After Lin Hao thought about it for a while, an idea came to mind.
Then he said slowly: "Okay, I have agreed to both of your conditions, and the barbarians can return to Tuhe City, but I also have one condition." ”
Shan Yufei's face finally overflowed with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"I want Shan Yuxu to return to the capital with me. Lin Hao stared at Shan Yufei and said with the same smile.
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Shan Yufei's face instantly froze, but he weighed the pros and cons as quickly as possible.
"Yes, I agreed for the patriarch today, but there is a question, why does Your Majesty want to bring Shan Yu Xu by his side, so he is not afraid that he will be opposed?"
Shan Yufei asked vigilantly.
Lin Hao stood up, slowly walked out of the hall, turned his back to Shan Yufei and said: "His nature is not bad, your conditions are also what he wants, I think he will not have any more objections after learning that the barbarians have obtained such generous conditions, and he is indeed very strong, I want to use it elsewhere, you will be the city lord of Tuhe City in the future, you should retreat first." ”
Then he disappeared into the council hall.
After Lin Hao came out of the meeting hall, he went straight to the dungeon where Shan Yuxu was, and at this time, there was only one ice sculpture left here.
It has been a day and a night since that battle, and the ice that froze Shan Yuxu still has no trace of thawing.
Lin Hao stared at Shan Yuxu, seeing that he still maintained a posture of not flinching when he was frozen, he couldn't help but admire Lin Hao, but it was a pity that the way was different that day.
But now that the old grudge has been eliminated, Lin Hao thinks that he can be unfrozen.
Thinking of this, he summoned the cold crystal of the hidden spring and began to thaw for Shan Yuxu.
Since Shan Yuxu was the center of the ice dragon's attack, Shan Yuxu was invaded by the most cold air, and it was more difficult to thaw, and this thaw lasted for nearly three hours.
By the time Shan Yuxu came out of the ice completely, it was already late at night.
After the thaw, Lin Hao called Situ Ge and others to heal Shan Yuxu and wake him up.
instructed Situ Ge to let him rest well, and he would return to the capital with him in a few days.
Then he returned to his residence to rest, and when he returned to the place, he found that Qi Zu had not rested, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
Qi Zu saw the little emperor coming back from a distance, stepped forward to greet him, and said to Lin Hao respectfully: "Your Majesty is back, just now I went to thaw Shan Yuxu." ”
Lin Hao said as he entered the room and said, "Yes, you want to ask me why I took Shan Yuxu back to the capital." ”
"Your Majesty Shengming, even if Shan Yuxu has some strength, but in the eyes of this son, there are only barbarians and no Qianguo, and it may become an unstable factor to bring with him. Qi Zu said with a solemn face.
Lin Hao sat on the chair and said casually: "Qi Zu, do you remember that I said that I want to open an academy in Qianguo, I hope he can teach, so that the barbarian secret art can become the secret art of the Qianguo, if you can, I hope that the soldiers can also learn it, after fighting with him, I deeply feel the power of the barbarian secret art, so I want more people to learn it." ”
Qi Zu suddenly realized, only then did he know the real purpose of the little emperor, he was really thoughtful, and he thought much farther than him.
"The minister understood, His Majesty was really far-sighted, and the minister admired it. Qi Zu shook his head and smiled.
Lin Hao waved his hand and said, "After the polite words, let's get rid of it, rest early, stay in Tuhe City for another day tomorrow, and leave for the capital the day after tomorrow, there is no news from Chengzhou for so long, I don't know what happened to the Wang brothers." ”
After dealing with the Wang clan and recuperating for a period of time, it is time to start preparing for war with Yan Yingguo, before that, we must first talk to Wujiang, after all, we must be famous in the division, and we can't attack other people's Hou State at will, and blatant usurpulation.
After dealing with Yan Yingguo, you can go to find the Hanhai Canglong Seal, thinking of this, Lin Hao couldn't help but sigh again, the road to becoming stronger is still very long and endless, but for revenge, he can't stop, this may be the pain of being an emperor.
