Li Yuanqing was most annoyed by this kind of compromise attitude, and directly refuted it, leaving no room for it, "Lord Wu, is it useful to compromise for a while and exchange for peace?" Within three years, Xiyun Kingdom will tear up the surrender document as before and continue to commit crimes. In that case, I might as well have beaten them once. ”

"First of all, among these captives, more than half of the noble children of the Xiyun Kingdom are inside. For the safety of these people, the Xiyun Kingdom will not go to war easily. We are in the northwest region, deploying a large number of troops, even if the Xiyun Kingdom is raising troops and there is General Zhao in charge, there is no need to worry. Since we occupy the right time and place, we must make good use of it. ”

"Even if the Xiyun Kingdom doesn't have enough silver to redeem all the prisoners of war, then redeem some of them. The redemption of the nobles at the top will inevitably disappoint the soldiers and common people at the bottom. To redeem the soldiers of the lower ranks, those noble families are not happy, and the Xiyun Kingdom will inevitably be unstable and fight with each other. In this way, we can just use this high-priced negotiation condition to shake the Xiyun Kingdom up and down, so why not? ”

Gu Shao was shocked, stood up, and saluted Li Yuanqing, "General Li is talented!" ”

Lord Wu, who was able to sit on the Ministry of Rites, was naturally not an ordinary person, and he quickly figured out the trick.

Whether Xiyun Kingdom redeems these prisoners of war, or there is no money to redeem these prisoners of war, it will have an important impact on Xiyun Kingdom.

Lord Wu was also quite excited, "General Li is talented!" ”

Li Yuanqing arched his hand and said modestly: "You're welcome!" This is just a little foolish opinion of Li. When Tuozan comes, we will go all out to negotiate with him. ”

The three of them reached an agreement to work together with the outside world.

Tozan sat in the carriage with the surrender document in his hand, his heart up and down, and he was uneasy.

He comforted himself that at least now Da Zhou was willing to talk, it was better than not talking about it before.

Quickly rushed to the Li Fan Yuan, got out of the carriage and walked inside, and met acquaintances along the way to say hello.

But acquaintances are like seeing a plague, they don't return the courtesy, and just bow their heads to avoid it.

Tuozan's heart was even more anxious, but he didn't dare to show it.

After a while, when I was about to get inside, I was stopped by the guards outside.

After the transmission, Tuozan was allowed in.

After coming in, Tuozan bowed with a smile on his face, "Lord Wu, Lord Gu, General Li, you are polite!" ”

Lord Wu was in charge of entertaining, "Don't be polite, Your Majesty knows that Lord Tozan is anxious, so he specially ordered me to negotiate with Lord Tuozan before the year." ”

Lord Tuozan complimented, "Your Majesty is merciful. ”

Sitting down at the negotiation table together, Tuozan looked at the three people opposite, and felt uneasy in his heart.

Li Yuanqing took out a few more pieces of paper from the bookcase, put them on the table and pushed them in front of Tuozan, "Lord Tuozan, can you explain why Xiyun Kingdom has repeatedly and unilaterally torn up the surrender document and robbed the people on the border of my Great Zhou?" ”

When Lord Tuozan heard this, his face was bitter, "Back to General Li, the northwest is bitter and cold, affected by the weather, and often freezes cattle and sheep to death, and the people have no choice but to do it." The Great Zhou is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, rich in materials, and good at farming, which is richer than my Xiyun Kingdom. ”

Saying this, Li Yuanqing felt that this person was really shameless. Burning, killing and looting can be said to be so high-sounding.

Li Yuanqing's face was slightly cold, and he looked at Gu Shao.

Gu Shao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the purpose is, you don't talk about credit first, and the people of Dazhou come second. All along, our Great Zhou has treated Xiyun Kingdom with a generous heart. It's a pity that Yun Guo has committed the border again and again, and this time he committed the side, only three years after the last time he committed the side. His Majesty and the entire court felt that they could not treat the Nigumo Kingdom with the magnanimity they had before, so we set new terms for negotiation. Please take a look at it! ”

Lord Tuozan chuckled in his heart when he heard this, Da Zhou's attitude changed, and he had already noticed it.

It's just that I didn't expect that the whole court of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be able to reach an agreement.

Lord Tuozan didn't dare to be careless, and took over the negotiation conditions.

He is the best at negotiation, the other party asks for a price, and he sits on the ground to pay back.

When Tuozan saw the first article of the negotiation, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

This Great Zhou courtier really dared to think that he actually wanted to return the Xiyun Kingdom and occupy the two states of the Central Plains hundreds of years ago.

Despite the sneer in his heart and his disdain, Tuozan did not dare to raise his head, and kept his eyes on the negotiation conditions.

The next conditions are even more shameless and absurd, not only to Xiyun Kingdom's apology and surrender, but also to Xiyun Kingdom's money to redeem prisoners of war.

A prince is 200,000 taels of silver, a county king is 150,000 taels of silver, and even the most ordinary manu needs 50,000 taels of silver.

There were tens of thousands of captives, including hundreds of royal nobles and sons of officials, and a total of six or seven million taels of silver were needed.

The annual tax payment of the entire Xiyun Kingdom is only more than 9 million taels of silver.

This silver was fixed every year, and was used for various expenses, and there was no spare money to redeem the captives.

It's okay to apologize, but it's definitely not going to cost money.

After reading it, Tuozan raised his head and replied: "Three adults, this negotiation condition is too ridiculous!" The land of those two states is more than 100 years ago, when the Great Qi Emperor collapsed and the people were struggling to make a living. I, the lord of Xiyun Kingdom, saw that the people were displaced, and I couldn't bear it, so I went south, collected the people, and recuperated. Now the people of the land of those two states have recognized me as the lord of the kingdom of Xiyun. It is also possible to convey to His Majesty the Great Zhou, don't be embarrassed and force these people. ”

Lord Wu nodded, "Naturally, I will convey it, but it is naturally the land of the Central Plains, in fact, the people above are deceived by the Xiyun Kingdom, but their roots are still in the Central Plains." ”

Tuozan sneered in his heart, how could they spit it out if they had already eaten the fat in their stomachs?

Tuozan continued: "Apologize for the surrender of the city, our Xiyun Kingdom is naturally willing. It's just that this money is spent to redeem prisoners of war, which is really insulting! We in the Great Zhou Dynasty talk about courtesy, righteousness and shame all day long, but we are doing such unrighteous things, are we not afraid of insulting the majesty of the Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty? Aren't you afraid that our vassal kingdoms will laugh at you? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's not for benefits, it's not for silver, why did you Xiyun Kingdom go south to fight and invade the people of my Great Zhou Land in the cold weather?" It's all for profit, so why keep your mouth shut? As the Celestial Empire, it is even more important to talk about. It is precisely because he was so kind to you before that he made your Xiyun Kingdom so presumptuous, and he had to go back on his word. ”

"You have repeatedly launched wars against our Great Zhou, because of the face of the Heavenly Empire, and because of the mercy of my Great Zhou Majesty, so you don't care about these barbarian countries. But you are good, and you never remember kindness. ”

"Since this is the case, then my Great Zhou naturally wants to use the means of dealing with despicable villains to entertain Xiyun Kingdom. Since the battle is lost, there must be the consciousness that the loser is the loser. This time, without taking the money, none of these captives will be released, including your lord's own son, Anturu, who must also go to the logging. ”

When Tuozan heard this, he panicked even more, "You deceive people too much, you ······ You are insulting to Sven ......"
