"What!? 200,000 taels of gold!? Ten million taels of silver!? ”

When the Tusi envoy brought Lu Chen's conditions back to the national capital, in the court, the Tusi king roared angrily:

"Lu Chen, he really dares to ask for it! Such a huge amount of compensation! How could this king agree! ”

The anger of the king of Tus was directed at the messenger, who wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied cautiously:

"Your Majesty, Weichen has also mentioned to Lu Chen that the amount of compensation is too large, but ...... But Lu Chen had a tough attitude and said...... said that the two conditions he put forward were indispensable, and if our country did not agree, he would lead the army to continue to break the city, and ...... And ......"

At last the messenger did not dare to continue, and when the king saw this, he pointed at him and shouted:

"And what!? Say! ”

"And every time you go down a city, there will be rivers of blood, and your bones will be like mountains...... "The Tus messenger said with courage.

Ah! When the Tus King heard this, his eyes were split, and he gritted his teeth and scolded angrily:

"How can this be true? Lu Chen! It's so arrogant! How dare you blackmail this king like this! Did he really think that this king was afraid of him!? ”

As he spoke, he clapped his case, pointed to one of the ministers below, and said sharply, "Briss! This king orders you to immediately mobilize warriors from all over the country to return to the capital! After gathering the army, it will be a showdown with Lu Chen! ”

The current Tusi, after the last battle of Wuguan and Hulukou, lost more than 100,000 horses and horses, and has been greatly damaged, although the total strength of the country, although there are still two or three hundred thousand, but its troop deployment is scattered in various towns, and there is no defense against the invasion of the army of the Feng Dynasty. This is also the main reason why Lu Chen led the army all the way.

Seeing that the king was about to fight, Bliss hurriedly came out of the ranks, and after giving the salute, he calmly analyzed:

"Your Majesty, the current Lu Chen has 100,000 troops, and he must be ready for everything, so he dares to lead the army deep into the barbarian land. And our country was caught off guard at the beginning, if we only start to gather troops now, then at this time when our army is assembled, I am afraid that Lu Chen has already broken several cities again! ”

Hearing this, King Tus asked angrily, "You mean that our country can't fight with Lu Chen?" ”

"No, of course it can be warned, what I am going to say at the end is that our country does not allow war in terms of time, because even if Lu Chen retreats from the war by then, then before this big war, many tragic things will happen in my country."

Hearing this, King Tus calmed down a little and asked again, "Now Lu Chen's army should be in Giant Stone City, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bliss returned.

"If this king remembers correctly, in the Boulder City, there are tens of thousands of warriors from my Tus, Briss, can't these warriors buy us enough time?" King Tus asked again.

Ay! The city defense of Megalith City is dilapidated, how long can it hold in front of the wolf-like wind army! Bliss sighed secretly, although he was very reluctant to accept it, but the truth made him unable to admit it. He didn't answer directly, but looked at King Tus and said:

"First, in this battle, Lu Chen personally commanded it, and the officers and men in his army must move forward bravely!"

"Second, the wind army's grain, grass and ordnance are all well prepared, and they have the posture of fighting in our country for a long time! And the siege equipment such as the stone throwing machine it carries, there are dozens of them, and the stone bullets required are very easy to collect, and they are available anywhere, which can be said to be inexhaustible, which is also the biggest blow to our side. ”

"Third, the wind army arrow array, alone in the world, and this battle wind army with countless arrows, in the previous attack, its next city, must first be the arrow array to wreak havoc, often to the wind army really attack the city, our city, is already full of devastation! The soldiers defending the battle are also five or six out of ten......"

Where does Bliss want to make peace with Lu Chen, in his heart, he actually wants to really defeat Lu Chen on the battlefield once! But as the commander-in-chief of the national army, he has to consider his current situation!

And after listening to his three-point analysis, the anger on King Tus's face disappeared, and in its place was a tired feeling of powerlessness, and he sat down on the king's chair as if his strength had been drained, and muttered:

"Could it be...... Does this king really have to accept such harsh conditions......"

Bliss bowed his head and did not dare to speak, and at this moment another of Tus's ministers stood up, and as soon as he came out of the ranks, he said in an astonishing voice:

"Your Majesty, making peace with Lu Chen, in fact, is not necessarily a bad thing."

Now, Lu Chen led 100,000 wind troops to take down several cities on his side, and he was really forced to do so, if there was a second land, who would ask for peace! But this man actually said that this is a good thing! When the ministers of Tusi heard this, they all glared at him angrily, and even worse, they snorted coldly.

The Tus Minister was a typical civil official, the kind of person who could speak well. Seeing this, he did not care, but smiled slightly, and said to his king:

"Your Majesty, in the past, our country only knew about plundering the Wind Country in exchange for benefits, but we didn't know that in the long run, it would definitely lead to a real war between the two countries, and it would definitely not be a long-term way!"

"Now, although Lu Chen's conditions are harsh, if the two sides reach a peace agreement, then our country's current losses can be said to be nothing at all! In the future, it will be easy to make up for it! ”

He talked for a long time, and he didn't get to the point, but he just said that there were benefits to peace, and when King Tus saw this, he couldn't help but ask, "These losses are nothing?" What do you mean by that? ”

"Your Majesty the King." Minister Tus explained: "You can imagine that if our border towns in Tuth and the border cities in the Windy Country are friendly and open to both sides, then our Tuth merchants can take their local products and sell them in the Windy Country, and vice versa, the same can ......be said for the merchants of the Windy Country."

Yo! Hearing this, King Tusi's eyes lit up and he urged, "You mean, the two countries trade with each other?" ”

"That's right!" The Minister of Tus replied:

"Your Majesty! You know, business exchanges, it's every day, every hour, every moment, it's going on! If trade is carried out, the price difference of its goods, the high commercial tax, and the wide range of various interests, once the scale is formed, it is very terrible! And in the face of these, what is this little loss at the moment!? ”

His analysis was not wrong, and after he said this, the other people in the palace also began to talk to each other, and King Tusi was even more overjoyed. Subsequently, under the discussion of the ministers, the Tusi envoy was sent to the camp of the Feng Army again to negotiate with Lu Chen.

When he arrived, it happened to be the fifth day of departure, and after Lu Chen invited him into the account, the Tusi envoy went straight to the point, saying that he accepted Lu Chen's condition, and also mentioned to Lu Chen the matter of mutual trade between the two countries.

The border towns of the two countries will be opened up for mutual commerce and trade. Unexpectedly, Tus made such a request, and while Lu Chen was quite surprised, he immediately realized that this was definitely a good thing!

However, this kind of thing, I'm afraid I have to report it to the Wind Country Imperial Court. After thinking about it, Lu Chen did not rush to agree to the Tusi envoy, but said ambiguously:

"What the envoy has just said is indeed beneficial and harmless to both you and me, so that as soon as the matter of peace is settled, the commander will immediately lead the army to retreat, and ten days later, the envoy will go to the windy land, and at that time, the two sides will completely finalize the matter of trade......
