Chapter 724 Persuasion

The wind and wine were spicy, Will and Shangguan Xiu pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and after a short time, both of them were already drunk, their faces turned red, and they talked more and more. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shangguan Xiu borrowed a little drunkenness and said with a smile: "Duke Pross!"

"Duke Shangguan is my friend, just call me Will. ”

"Haha! Okay!" Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, and said: "Will, the two countries have been at war for so long, you are tired, we are tired, if we can negotiate peace, I don't want to continue to fight this battle." ”

"Yes, this battle has indeed been fought for too long!" Will felt the same way, and couldn't help but sigh.

Shangguan Xiu said slowly: "As long as Will can facilitate peace between the two countries, I can make a promise here, and twenty percent of the tax revenue in the Naxikeya region in the next ten years can be divided into Will." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Tang Ling again, and asked inquiringly, "Your Majesty can approve of my decision?"

The territory of Nasikeya is rich in minerals, and the tax revenue of the entire region is not a small amount, even if it is 20% of it, it is a huge amount of money, not to mention 20% of the tax revenue for ten consecutive years.

When Will heard this, his mouth was wide open, he first looked at Shangguan Xiu with a dull gaze, he was stunned for a long time, and then quickly turned his eyes to Tang Ling.

Tang Ling let out a laugh like a silver bell, and said slowly: "The matter of Naxikeya, Shangguan Aiqing will decide!"

Shangguan Xiu took a picture of the table, and said, "Then, this matter is so decided, what does Will think?"

Will was moved to tears and almost fell, picked up the wine glass, staggered to his feet, and said movingly: "Duke Shangguan's deep affection for me, I, I can't repay it, in the future, if Duke Shangguan needs my help, just give orders." This glass of wine, I will do it first as a respect, and talk about the heart!" As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the full wine in the cup.

Relying on the emotions of personal relationships alone can't win over people like Will, and if you want him to really stand on your side, you have to be willing to cut the meat and share real benefits with him.

Shangguan Xiu never relented when he asked people for money, and when he decided to give people benefits, he was also generous, the kind that took money to smash the other party directly.

Will arrived at the wind camp in the afternoon, and when he left, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night. Sitting in the carriage back to the city, he was full of joy and pride, who said that the Feng army was unwilling to negotiate peace, who said that the Feng army had to attack Goro, as soon as he got out of the horse, he negotiated the matter of peace, and he also became the emperor of the Feng Kingdom and Shangguan Xiu's guests, not only by the courtesy, but even more commendable is that Shangguan Xiu also promised to give him 20% of Naxikya's ten years of taxes, how much money does it have to be?

Looking at the two young and beautiful Besa girls sitting next to him and given to him by Shangguan Xiu, Will was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, hugged him left and right, and laughed from time to time.

Returning to the city of Goro, Will did not delay and went directly to the palace to see Peter. This time Peter was willing to see him, and as soon as he reached the gate of the palace, he was invited in by the guards.

After the meeting, King Peter couldn't wait to ask, "Will, you can see Shangguan Xiu on this envoy to the wind camp, and what did the wind man say?"

"Brother Wang, when I visited Fengying this time, I not only met Shangguan Xiu, but also met the Emperor of the Wind Country!"

"What?Emperor of the Wind Country?The Wind Emperor is also in the Wind Army camp?" Peter involuntarily stood up from his throne and looked at Will intently.

"Yes, Brother Wang, the Empress of the Wind Country is in the camp of the Wind Army, I saw it with my own eyes!" and they drank together, and wanted to have a good conversation! Will shook his head in response, and staggered to the side of the chair, and the old god sat down on the ground.

The Wind Emperor is also in the camp of the Wind Army, what does this mean? Could it be that the Wind Army is determined to capture Goro? Thinking of this, Peter sat down back on the throne as if he had been drained of his strength.

Seeing this, Will sneered, waved his hand and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, this time I will go out in person, how can I return in vain?"

Peter's heart moved, and he asked urgently, "Will, what did the Wind Emperor say?"

"Accept the peace!"

"Really?"

"Tsk, Brother Wang, can I still lie to you about such a big thing?"

"Then, the Wind Emperor's condition for accepting the peace proposal is ......"

Will cleared his throat and explained the three conditions prescribed by Shangguan Xiu to Peter.

When Peter heard this, he sat down on his throne like a deflated ball, and he could not recover for a long time. Such harsh conditions are simply unacceptable.

Seeing Peter's face as earthy, his eyes glazed as he was, and he was speechless for a long time, Will smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I think these three conditions are completely acceptable to us!"

"Acceptable?" Peter frowned as he looked at Will with a 'Are you crazy' look.

"It sounds like these three conditions are very harsh, and they are a great shame for our country, but in other words, it is different, for example, to cede Nashikia to sell Nashikaya to the Wind Country, and for example, to let the Wind Army garrison Mulun City, so that the Wind Army can help our country defend against the Ningnan people of Duki. ”

When Peter heard this, his heart shook. Will sighed and said, " Brother Wang, for the sake of our Pros family, for the sake of the Besa city-state, no matter what, we can't let the Wind Country capture Goro, even if we pay a big price for this, we have to accept it, what's more, now the wind people are just asking for Nashikya, my Besa's territory is so big, just a Nashikya, what is it, as for the wind people to garrison in Mulun City, it is even less worth mentioning, Mulun City is the city of the Sail city-state, and the Sail city-state has always been ignorant of lifting, and there are many disagreements with my Besa city-state, so it is appropriate for them to deal with the wind people！”

When Will said this, he may have forgotten that it was the whole army of the Sayre City-State that fought to the death to drag the Wind Army in the Gabul area, and finally caused the main force of the Wind Army led by Tang Ling to be trapped in the Sail City, almost annihilating the whole army, and turning the entire tide of the war.

When Peter heard this, he slowly stood up again, and paced up and down the hall with his hands behind his back. It's not that he is reluctant to give up Nashikya, but he is worried about how the people in the country will criticize him if he cedes Nashikya.

He said faintly: "In order to seek peace, ceding the land will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people, and it will also make those city-states and families who covet the throne wait for an opportunity to make trouble!"

Will said: "Brother Wang, didn't I say it, we can't say it's a cession, we can only say it's a sale, and besides, the wind people also accept this statement!"

"How much does that sell?"

"100,000,000 silver coins!" Will said, "Nashikia is so far away, and now it is in ruins, and it is not cheap to sell it for 100 million silver coins." ”

"Will the Wind Man agree?"

"I have already negotiated with Fengren, and this 100 million silver coins will be deducted from my country's indemnity. "Shangguan Xiu's initiative to put forward the conditions has now become the credit of Will's negotiations.

He was also smiling secretly in his heart, everyone felt that going to the wind camp was a drudgery of nine deaths and a lifetime, who would have thought that this was actually a beautiful difference that was flattered by both sides, on the one hand, he could ask for merit on His Majesty's side, and on the other hand, he could ask for benefits on the side of the wind man.

He got up and walked to Peter's side, and said meaningfully: "Brother Wang, my eldest brother, you are the king, the leader of our GLP family, I am a member of the GLP family, as your younger brother, I and you will always be on the same ship, if this ship sinks, I will also suffer a catastrophe, do you think I can harm you? Anyone can harm you, but I won't!"

"I know that!" Peter gave him a blank look.

"Fengren is willing to accept peace, willing to give up attacking Goro, what a rare opportunity for our GLP family, our GLP family, can also be a royal family, the royal brother can continue to sit on the throne, even if it is ten times more stringent than this, a hundred times more demanding, we have to accept it!"

Peter rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Will continued: "Brother Wang, don't think about it anymore, hurry up and make up your mind, sign a peace treaty with the Wind People, if it is delayed for a long time, once the Wind People repented and attacked Goro, at that time, Brother Wang will not only become a sinner of the family, but also a sinner of the entire Besa country, my Pros family, will never be able to turn over, and will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!"

Hearing this, Peter gasped, and his face changed suddenly. He turned his eyes to Will and asked, "Brother, the wind man put forward these three conditions?"

"Yes, there are only these three conditions!"

"Well, tomorrow, I will consult and discuss with the ministers in the royal court meeting!"

"Brother Wang must stand firm and unshakable. Once Goro is captured, other ministers can surrender to the wind people and avoid death, but the Pros family cannot surrender and cannot avoid death, so other ministers can oppose peace, and they can stand and talk without backache, but my Pros family can't!"

"I understand. Peter nodded slowly, patted Will on the shoulder, and said, "Will, this time I went to the Wind Camp, I have worked hard for you, and you really didn't disappoint me!"

Will smiled bitterly: "My king, my eldest brother, I am your brother, in a critical moment, our brother can not have one heart!"

That's exactly why Peter trusted Will. They are brothers in the same boat, no matter what time it is, Will must be on his side, for this, Peter is convinced, no matter how incompetent Will is, so unsuccessful, at the critical moment, he will still entrust him with important tasks.

The next morning, Peter summoned his ministers to discuss peace between the two countries. At the meeting, it was up to Will to propose the terms of peace in the country of wind. Of course, he changed the cession of Nashikia to the purchase of Nashikia by the Wind Nation for 100 million silver coins.

But even so, after hearing these three conditions, many ministers who accepted the peace proposal expressed extreme dissatisfaction.

Even Foreign Minister Colin Keaton shook his head again and again, saying: "The undeclared war of the Wind Country against our country is an unjust war, and now that we are negotiating peace, how can we put forward the conditions for our country to cede land and pay compensation? This is too deceitful to deceive people!"

The ministers and generals present nodded their heads one after another, thinking that Colin was reasonable. Will sneered and said, "Count Keaton, the wind man used 100 million silver coins to buy Nashikya, not to cede our country in vain!"

"So what's the difference?" a Besa general stood up and said in a deep voice: "The so-called purchase has only turned our country's indemnity of 200 million silver coins into 100 million silver coins!

"Just because the Wind Army has already arrived in the city, and if we don't accept the peace, the Wind People will attack Goro, and at that time, we will all be the main culprits who will destroy the capital!" Will snapped.

When the Besa general heard this, his face changed, he gritted his teeth, and sat down slowly. As soon as he sat down, the Minister of the Interior, Savron Avleck, smiled slightly and said, "We can now accept the peace of the wind people!"

"What?" everyone present looked at Safron.

Sa Fulong has always been an unswerving main battle faction, a diehard who would rather fight to the death with the wind man than negotiate peace with the wind man, but he didn't expect that when the wind man put forward such harsh conditions, he would instead accept the peace with the wind man.
