King Sangnan almost jumped up and almost failed to maintain his image of an honest person in front of Xie Jue. Sangnan has a total of twenty-three cities, and Shuilan City is the first city on the border between Sangnan and Beining. Generally, small border towns are barren and dilapidated, but Sangnan is on the contrary. The cities on the border between Sangnan and Beining are very wealthy. Beining has to visit six cities at once, which is simply cutting the flesh of King Sangnan.

King Sang Nan felt that his heart was bleeding, but Han Ziqi was expecting such an outrageous figure for gold and silver, and it would be even more outrageous for the city to be ceded.

"Impossible!" King Sangnan was furious, "Beining is really bullying others!"

"King Sangnan, you took the initiative to send troops to the twelve states and suffered a defeat. You should have expected such consequences. When you invaded with hundreds of thousands of troops, you wanted all the cities in our twelve states. We only need you to compensate the border Six cities, that's very polite." Fang Chuning couldn't help but mock.

In fact, it is a bit bullying. Not only are these cities rich, but the city in Beining is larger than that in Sangnan. Originally, Sangnan was the city of Beining and it was a border city, so each city was built relatively small. Although it was later expanded , but there is still no such scale as Xizhou and Yangzhou. Shuilan City is considered a big city.

These cities near the sea and Beining are also liked by the people of Beining. Their commerce is developed. If they want to cede the cities on the border, Sang Nan will definitely be unwilling to do so.

Fang Chuning's strange words made King Sang Nan almost have a heart attack.

Han Ziqi felt that the peace talks would break up on bad terms because both conditions were too harsh.

Xie Jue's mood was too stable. Even if King Sangnan was angry, he did not utter evil words. Therefore, no uncontrollable incidents occurred and the peace talks were not tit-for-tat. The main reason is that there is a huge difference in strength between the two countries. King Sangnan has no say in front of Xie Jue. Unlike when the Yuwen Dynasty had peace talks with the Northern Barbarians, they were restrained everywhere. At that time, the two sides were about the same strength and suffered from internal and external troubles. Now the situation is different. There are differences, and the attitude naturally becomes tougher.

It is impossible for King Sangnan to agree to cede six cities. These are the six most important border cities for Sangnan's farming. If they are ceded to Beining, Sangnan's strength will be greatly damaged. In the future, it can only be a vassal state of Beining, and it is the kind of Beining that has nothing to do with it. A dependent country that is happy to slap you at any time will never be able to turn around. It was because it didn't want to stay in one corner forever, so it fought against the odds. King Sangnan also knew what an embarrassing scene he would face after defeat.

"If the silver and gold are not willing to compensate, and the city is not willing to cede, then there is nothing to talk about. Sangnan has only one way to go, surrender to Beining, and then be placed under the rule of Jiangnan. We will send troops to garrison."

"..."

Xie Jue's intention is obvious. This is Beining's bright card and everyone knows it.

King Sangnan and Han Ziqi also knew.

So I didn't get furious when I heard this. The high priest asked, "If Sangnan surrenders, how will Beining treat the people of Sangnan and the royal family?"

Xie Jue said, "We treat the surrendered Northern Barbarians equally, and we treat Sang Nan the same way. What's more, Sang Nan and Beining are compatriots connected by blood and are closer. I guarantee that there will be no change in the lives of the people. Beining and Beining are After all, Sangnan's decrees are different and need to be adjusted. No matter what, the changes will not be too big. As for the Sangnan royal family... it is very simple. Like the Northern Barbarian royal family, King Sangnan can retain the title, residence and fiefdom of King Sangnan. The power is only equipped with three thousand personal soldiers. All Sangnan's army was broken into pieces, disarmed and returned to the fields, and the Jiangnan garrison took over the military affairs."

This is equivalent to removing the military power of King Sangnan. The Jiangnan garrison will not only take over military affairs, but may also take over the entire Sangnan. What good treatment can the royal family get?

After the fall, no one can escape!

Xie Jue said, "If the high priest and King Sangnan want to know the details, the details are more flexible. We can all discuss it. Beining's purpose is to refine the terms without departing from the principles. If you have any requirements, you can You can mention it. If King Sangnan doesn't want to settle in Peony City, you can come to Kyoto. Kyoto welcomes you. Now King Jingbei and his family are all in Kyoto and have never suffered any persecution. The noble girls of the Northern Barbarians are as loved by the queen as the noble girls of our clan. , frequently in and out of the palace, Wu'an Hou Dugujing has also become a celebrity of the emperor. In the future, he may marry the Fang family and become the brother-in-law of General Fang. You can rest assured that we in Beining will not do anything to kill the donkey. Even if you are worried, since you all recognize my bloodline, I will keep you safe throughout your life."

Xie Jue has always given people the impression of being cold and ruthless. He even speaks coldly and without any emotion. Even if he says he wants to keep anyone safe, even if he means it sincerely, others will think that he is cold and heartless. Not credible.

"So, there is no third way for us Sangnan to go?" King Sangnan asked.

"Yes!" Xie Jue evoked a smile, but for some reason everyone felt a chill down their spines, "Sang Nan can also reject our suggestion, kill us all in Peony City, and then declare war on Beining, with all odds lost! "

Everyone, "..."

This is basically a dead end, and it is a dead end that drags countless people to die together. However, Xie Jue said it so lightly, and King Sangnan felt cold all over the place.

Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, Mr. Gu hurriedly said, "King Sangnan, actually surrendering is not as unbearable as you imagined. Although your treatment will be a little worse than it is now, it should be no worse than Prince Beining, and so will your descendants." Live a stable life and no longer worry about it. The original King of Northern Barbarians and now the King of Jingbei surrendered to Beining just to stop the war. He hopes that his descendants and the people can live in peace, and there will be no more wars and no more wars. A life that died in vain. He and his family were treated politely in Kyoto. The emperor is kind and does not care about the past. As long as you put down your guard and surrender sincerely, you will receive the same courtesy as them. Why bother to raise an army to cause chaos? If you really want to raise an army, it will be There are countless casualties. We have millions of elite soldiers in Beining. The Ningzhou cavalry is invincible. Sangnan is no match at all. Thousands of Sangnan people will die under the cavalry. This is a war with no suspense, and there are What's the meaning? In the future, when the descendants of these undead people discuss it, they will only say, King Sangnan, you are selfish and only care about your own power and status, regardless of the life and death of the soldiers. The Northern Barbarian King endured humiliation and heavy burdens for the sake of the people. He would rather live in Kyoto forever and let go. Hatred, but what about our king? He killed his soldiers, how can you feel so embarrassed?"

As expected of Beining's diplomatic leader, he directly poked King Sangnan in the lungs. Comparing one person to another can make people angry to death.

Fang Chuning raised his eyebrows, and finally understood why Xie Xun insisted on inserting Honglu Temple Qing into the mission. Xie Jue couldn't say what he had done just now, and the effect was very good.

King Sang Nan's face turned blue and red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed. (End of chapter)
