Xiao Wuxin was already mentally prepared, but he was still frightened by Tuoba Yuan's lion mouth.

500,000 taels of gold!

Two million taels of silver!

30,000 pieces of silk!

"Tuoba Yuan, what are you doing as a big Zhou? Is it a money bag that can make money? Xiao Wuxin scolded angrily.

Even at the peak of Da Zhou's wealth, it would still feel distressing to take out so much money at once, let alone the moment when everything is waiting to be revived.

"Your Zhou Dynasty is known as the rich and the best in the world, how can you not take out all this money?" Tuoba Yuan asked with a smile.

"You don't have to pretend to be confused, the treasury can't come up with so much money at once, if you think I'm worth so much money, take me away." Xiao Wuxin said.

Of course, Tuoba Yuan knew that they couldn't come up with so much money, so they deliberately put forward such conditions, and the current Zhou Dynasty was just a huge shell.

"Humph! The widow said, this is the bottom line, if you can't take it, then don't blame us for stepping on Jinling City. Tuoba Yuan said deliberately.

In the face of the other party's strength, Xiao Wuxin did not show weakness, Zhao Juzheng asked him to "endure", but it did not mean that he would be humiliated and endure the pain of land reparations, but he could not lose in momentum.

Xiao Wuxin suddenly released a huge aura and said, "You dare!" Don't think I'm unprepared. ”

With a wave of his arms, flags fluttered in the mountains not far away, dust flew, and the shouts of thousands of soldiers came from the mountains.

At this time, Tuoba Yuan's face changed sharply, and he was not calm for a moment: "No...... Probably, where did you get so many soldiers? Fake, it must be fake!! ”

"Humph! You think you've planted spies who know the full strength of the army, but these are the Empire's reserves, known only to a handful of cabinet members. Xiao Wuxin was imposing, "Although these reserve troops are not your opponents, it is no problem to drag you for two months. ”

After all, this is another country, Tuoba Yuan definitely did not dare to live for a long time, although he cut off the official road of all parties to support Jinling, but it was really delayed for two or three months, once the reinforcements arrived, it was really a loss to the wife and the army.

"I advise you to accept it when you see it! At least you can get something, otherwise, you will have a fish die and see if the last person to die is you or me. Xiao Wuxin said again.

This time it was Tuoba Yuan's turn to be in a dilemma, he wasn't sure if this was Xiao Wuxin's suspicious plan, the other party could bet, but he couldn't bet.

If you win the bet, you will have a lot of money; The bet is lost, and the abyss is endless.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold! 500,000 pieces of silver, 5,000 horses of silk, and cede the land of the two counties. Tuoba Yuan said unwillingly.

"Money can be given, no land can be caught, and no more attacks on the frontier are allowed within three years, this is for the sake of you and me, and it is also my final bottom line. If you don't agree, then prepare for war. ”

After that, Xiao Wuxin turned around and was about to ride away.

Tuoba Yuan had a low face: "Wait! Wait a minute. ”

With his back to Tuoba Yuan, Xiao Wuxin breathed a sigh of relief, he had been gambling since just now, if Tuoba Yuan was really not fooled, then he would be finished.

Those so-called reserve troops are all fake, he sent people to hold banners high in the back mountains to disguise themselves as a large number of people, and the so-called dust is nothing more than running around with dead trees tied to horses, everything is fake.

It turns out that this time God is on his side, and Tuoba Yuan has been fooled.

Xiao Wuxin retracted his mind and looked back: "Agreed?" ”

"The widow promised you only reparations, not land." This is much lower than Tuoba Yuan's expectations before he came here, and it is inevitable that Tuoba Yuan will not be happy.

"And it's not allowed to attack the frontier." Xiao Wuxin added.

"The widow knows, and will not disturb you." Tuoba Yuan was reluctant.

Similarly, even if Xiao Wuxin suppressed the lowest negotiation price, he was still unhappy, after all, this kind of insulting negotiation was a violation of the dignity of the empire.

In order to express the alliance between the two, the two swore on the Huai River Bridge on the white horse!

"I hope you'll keep your promise." Tuoba Yuan instructed again.

"I won't break my oath, but you!!" Xiao Wuxin said coldly, "The money and silk will be sent to the outside of the Yumen Pass as scheduled." ”

Since Xiao Wuxin said that he would send someone to send it, Tuoba Yuan still had this trust in him, and said, "Master! Then we'll have a meeting later. ”

"Hopefully, it will be indefinite." Xiao Wuxin said very unhappily.

Tuoba Yuan gave the order to withdraw the army, and the 50,000 Northern Liang cavalry returned the way they came, and they didn't dare to do anything, so they arrived at the gold and silver money of the Zhou Dynasty, and I have to say that this "trip" was worth it.

Tuoba Yuan walked out of a distance, Xiao Wuxin suddenly turned around and asked, "Princess Hexiao, is she okay?" ”

"She's so nice! She's married, so don't bother you to worry about it. ”

Tuoba Yuan left with the large army, and the crisis in Jinling was temporarily lifted.

......

Prime Minister Wei Zheng came behind Xiao Wuxin and said, "Your Majesty! Is the gold and silver really delivered?! ”

"Send! Must send!! Xiao Wuxin was furious, "I want to let Tuoba Yuan know that the money sent by your grandfather Xiao is scattered with seven steps, and in the future, Beiliang will definitely return it ten times as much." ”

On this day, the unequal covenant signed by the Great Zhou Emperor Xiao Wuxin and the Northern Liang Emperor Tuoba Yuan was called the "Huaishui Alliance" by later generations.

Of course, for the Great Zhou Empire, this was humiliation.

Xiao Wuxin will never forget this day.

After relieving the crisis in Northern Liang, Xiao Wuxin's next step was to start eradicating the spies lurking within the empire.
