One of the regional Kings shouted, "
"Then I'll kill you first as a sacrifice to the flag!"
Ji Yuan sneered, "
"If I was afraid of death, I would not have entered the capital."
In fact, the real purpose of the peace talks was to force Da Feng to cede land and ask for peace without shedding a drop of blood. The core goal of Yunzhou was to fight for territory.
&Nbsp; the more territories he obtained, the more fate he would be able to condense, and the closer he would be to becoming a divinator.
Ji Yuan bit on the second condition and refused to let it go. At first glance, it looked like he was neglecting the essentials and pursuing the minor details, but in fact, he was sure that Emperor Yongxing would agree.
Compared to practical benefits and the survival of the clan, the reputation of the clan was secondary.
This matter was more of a dispute between the two branches of the imperial family of Da Feng. It did not touch the core interests, so the opposition was not high.
In that case, no matter how the few imperial family mbers clamored, they were just incapable and furious.
Emperor Yongxing stared at Ji Yuan for a mont and said word by word,
"Alright, I agree!"
As soon as these words ca out, the faces of the mbers of the Imperial clan in the hall changed and they shouted, "
"Your Majesty …"
Emperor Yongxing raised his hand and used his sharp gaze to force back the princes and Junwang,
"This one's decision is made!"
Including King Yu, all the mbers of the Imperial clan looked at Emperor Yongxing with eyes full of disappointnt.
Emperor Yongxing turned to Ji Yuan and asked, "
"What's the third condition?"
Ji Yuan reached out his palm, opened his fingers, and said loudly, "
"Cede the land. Great Feng wants to give us Yongzhou, Yuzhou, and Zhang Zhou."
The throne room fell into a dead silence for a mont, and then a clamor of discussion broke out in the next mont.
Although the officials and Emperor Yongxing had guessed in advance that Yunzhou might ask for compensation and ceding land, they really did not expect such a big appetite.
The two sides had been fighting for so long, and great Feng had only lost one Qingzhou.
Then, he wanted to take away the three provinces without shedding a single drop of blood through tan?
The first assistant, Qian Qingshu, stepped out and glanced coldly at Ji Yuan and the others.
"Although Qingzhou has fallen, Da Feng still has 11 provinces and many soldiers and generals. Do you really think that you're afraid of a small place like Yunzhou?
"His Majesty is willing to negotiate peace with you all because he can not bear to see the people being poisoned by the flas of war again. It is not because he is afraid of Yunzhou."
Ji Yuan laughed and said, "
"If I rember correctly, before the autumn harvest, Wei Yuan led 100000 elite troops to attack the witch God religion and almost got wiped out.
"After winter, the Imperial court once again gathered 90000 troops and fought with the soldiers of Yunzhou in Qingzhou. More than half of them were killed.
"The troops of the three northwestern provinces will be used to resist the harassnt of the Western Region's coalition forces. They can't transfer troops to assist the war in the South.
many soldiers and generals, what a good 'many soldiers and generals'. May I ask chief advisor Qian, does the Imperial court still have enough soldiers to fight with Yunzhou? "
With every sentence Ji Yuan said, the faces of the Lords in the hall turned uglier.
They wouldn't admit it verbally, but they knew in their hearts that everything Ji Yuan said was true, and every sentence hit the nail on the head.
The war in Leizhou in the West was not serious. The coalition forces of the Western regions mainly harassed them. There were small battles but no big battles. After all, the Buddhist League was restrained by the demon race in the southern border.
However, just in case, they really couldn't mobilize troops on a large scale.
Qian Qingshu was at a loss for words, but he was disdainful of quibbling, so he flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.
Seeing that the chief advisor was so angry that he didn't say anything, the Dukes looked at each other and thought about how to refute.
At this mont, the assistant Minister of Revenue walked out and slowly said, "
"If I rember correctly, in the 30th year of the yuanjing era, there were 830000 households recorded in Yunzhou. May I ask, envoy Ji, does Yunzhou have ten households or twenty households supporting a soldier? How could one hundred thousand cavalry be obtained?
"We have a good idea of how many elites there are in Yunzhou. A starving cal is still bigger than a horse. No matter how weak Da Feng is, it should not be a problem for you to wipe out all the elites of Yunzhou."
The assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was the most sensitive to data such as money and grain, household registration, and population.
The Imperial censor of the left, Liu Hong, imdiately stepped forward and echoed, "
in the end, both sides will suffer heavy losses. Don't forget that the witch God sect is eyeing you covetously. The Buddhist league's allies are not really devoted to Yunzhou.
He was trying to explain the situation and persuade the young man from Yunzhou.
However, he was interrupted by laughter. Ji Yuan said with a mocking expression, "
"Lord Liu, it's enough to fool a three-year-old child with these words. Don't you think it's too laughable to play around with your tongue in front of this official and secretly change the concept?"
He looked at the assistant Minister of Revenue.
"This Lord is right, but so what? Now that Qingzhou is under our control, the refugees can all beco soldiers. If you want to wipe out all the elites of Yunzhou, then co and try.
in addition, the supervisor has already been killed by our Imperial advisor in Qingzhou. Without this Guardian, where do you get the confidence to say that you will fight with all the elites of Yunzhou? "
Finally, it was inevitable to bring up this topic.
It was precisely because they had lost the supervisor that Emperor Yongxing and the other Dukes were scared out of their wits. A while ago, they did not dare to sleep at night for fear that the group of terrifying extraordinary experts would kill their way into the capital and the palace and take their heads in their dreams.
Minister sun from the Ministry of Justice retorted, "
"Although the supervisor is dead, it's not as if great Feng doesn't have any transcendent experts. The Directorate of Celestials 'sun Xuanji, the Imperial Preceptor Luo Yuheng, as well as the Yunlu Institute's principal Zhao Shou and … Xu Qian!"
"That's right, we still have Xu yinluo." Soone chid in, as if to encourage himself.
Ji Yuan smiled and said nothing. An official in a red robe behind him sneered and said, "
"Even the supervisor died at the hands of our state preceptor. Xu Qi 'an is only a rank-3. It seems that the ninth young lord is too humble, making you think that Yunzhou is afraid of Da Feng.
"If you want to make peace, then agree to our conditions. If you don't want to negotiate, then naturally there will be experts from Yunzhou who will co to the capital and destroy you. After that, the Army of Yunzhou arrived at the city and entered the Central Plains.
