This sentence almost choked Zhang Zongchang, and he said in a little anxious: "Didn't we come in a friendly spirit?

"The first time you sent an army of 300,000, didn't you think so?" Luo Ming attacked the opponent's weakness everywhere. "What's wrong? I don't have an advantage on the battlefield now, and I want to get it at the negotiating table?"

"How can you do this, kid?" Zhang Zongchang said: "You have to think clearly, if you hurt His Royal Highness Gu Yinqi. Then you'll be in big trouble, and there will be nothing more to talk about between us. Our Northern Alliance will definitely send an army of 500,000 to kill everything you have here. ”

Luo Ming grinned to both sides, made a smiling look and said, "Lord Zhang, you need to think clearly, hurt Gu Yinqi, you are not me." Otherwise, why are you here today? Aren't you afraid that the king's precious son, the crown prince of the Northern Alliance, will be injured? If he is really injured during the negotiations, I will see how you explain after you go back, Lord Zhang, I am afraid that you will not even be able to save your head? In addition, I would like to tell you: I will definitely do what hurts His Royal Highness Gu Yinqi, if it were not for him, otherwise there would be no war today, don't you say?"

Luo Ming concisely clarified the situation between the two sides, Zhang Zongchang had nothing to say, paused for a while, and had to spread his hands and ask, "Okay, what do you want?"

Luo Ming struck for a long time that the other party wanted to occupy a psychological advantage at the negotiation table and strive for the initiative, and at this time he was not polite, and replied: "Cedion Fuhua Prefecture to us, and compensate our country with 3 million gold coins, 10 million stones of grain, plus 200,000 catties of refined iron." ”

"Shhh Not only that, but once this reparation is agreed, the rearmament plan of the Northern Union will be greatly affected. This kid is so deep and vicious, he is really a demon!

"Two hundred thousand troops and two generals, we take the principle of voluntariness. The Northern Alliance continued to say casually: "If they want to go back to Xuanwu Kingdom, I will let them go back." If they don't want to go back, I'll take them in for you. As for His Royal Highness Gu Yinqi, when will your war compensation be paid, and when will we send him back. If the king is anxious to see his son, ask him to hurry up the collection of compensation funds and supplies. ”

"You are blackmailing!" Zhang Zongchang slapped the table and shouted: "You little child, how can you open your mouth so loudly? Do you know how much money and supplies this is?"

Luo Ming spread his hands, glared at innocent eyes, and said, "You just asked me what I wanted!

He then slapped his right palm in the air and said, "You don't have to be so excited, can you?" You see, if you don't feel the need to talk about it, then please go back, right? If you don't want to talk, why are you going to come so far? Listen to my little boy's nonsense? No, I can see that you don't have much love and don't like children. So you won't have the patience to listen to my here. ”

He jumped off the table and said, "Think about it, Lord Zhang." Your fat, pink prince is in my hands, and I will kill anyone who forces me. Moreover, I personally think that it is quite cost-effective to exchange the little things and money I just said for a healthy prince. Not too much at all!" he made a send-off gesture.

After Zhang Zongchang heard Luo Ming's conditions, before he could say anything, he was sent out by Qin Tianzhu. He thought about it and was very helpless, so he had to write a detailed report and send his men back on fast horses to send it to the king, so that Gu Zhongxun would have a headache.

The report was delivered to Gu Zhongxun at midnight that day, and after he read it from beginning to end, he angrily tore the piece to pieces and scolded: "Zong Chang is incompetent, losing power and humiliating the country!"

But after scolding, he paced the room all night, drafting page after page of will, and did not come up with any good idea. At dawn, he finally wrote on the paper: "Please ask Zongchang to bargain as much as possible, and if the other party really does not allow it, he is allowed to sign." General Gu tried his best to raise the necessary materials and money, and Wanwang Zongchang put the most important thing about protecting my Xuanwu crown prince. "Tell the messenger to send it to Zhang Zongchang quickly.

After Zhang Zongchang received the order, he immediately asked Qin Tianzhu to continue negotiations. But Luo Ming didn't want to see him, so he only sent a message and said: "There's nothing to talk about, just sign and do it if you agree to those conditions." If you don't agree, go back and recruit troops to fight again. As for His Royal Highness Gu Yinqi, you should be ready to collect the corpse. ”

After saying this, Luo Ming went to the prisoner camp. The 200,000 prisoners of war of the Northern Alliance were held in a makeshift prisoner camp in the south of Black Cloud City, guarded by the Flying Tigers and the Qilin Tiger Army.

Luo Ming first found the generals Jiang Yunhui and Wang Jingxuan, and said: "You are the generals of the defeated army, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the severe punishment after you go back." The kid admires the talents of the two generals, so it's better to stay in my Black Cloud City. As for the family, we don't dare to pack tickets, but we will try our best to help you reunite. ”

The two generals were quite moved when they heard this. After thinking for a while, Wang Jingxuan agreed to stay and serve, and Luo Ming immediately promised to protect him as a guerrilla, as the deputy general of the Qilin Tiger Army, to assist Quan Zhonghan's work. Although Jiang Yunhui knew that he might not have a good time after going back, he had no choice but to miss his family and give up his homeland, so he was unwilling to stay. Luo Ming's several persuasions were ineffective, so he went with him.

Subsequently, Luo Ming summoned the prisoners of war to give a lecture and encouraged everyone to stay. said that as long as he was willing to stay, he was willing to help everyone find a way to move their families to live in Black Cloud City. For the Qinglong Kingdom, what is currently lacking the most is people. Just as Zhang Zongchang said, this war has exhausted the human resources of Black Cloud City. If there is another fight, Luo Ming will indeed fall into a situation where there are no soldiers available.

The human toll of this war is difficult to make up for for a small country with only 500,000 people, of whom more than 100,000 are not under its control.

However, no matter how Luo Ming lobbied, most of the officers and soldiers of the Northern Alliance were unwilling to stay in a foreign land. If given the choice, they would certainly be willing to return to their homeland.

"What should I do? or forcibly detain them?" suggested the thin man and the others.

"No!" Luo Ming shook his head: "The twisted melon is not sweet, and the forcibly recruited soldiers have no morale." Once a fight starts, you can't expect them to do their best for you. You think: You usually spend a lot of money to support them, but once the war with the Northern Alliance starts, they all turn against and run to the enemy, wouldn't it be worse?"
