His voice was plain, but it was powerful, with a touch of natural majesty.

When Gen heard this, he quickly said: "General Xiao has misunderstood. If this war continues, both sides will undoubtedly suffer losses."

"Hmm!?" Xiao Yuan's expression turned cold: "Does the envoy mean that our Qin army is afraid of war?"

"No, no, no." Genn waved his hands repeatedly, for fear of irritating Xiao Yuan: "What I mean is that a truce will be beneficial to both your and our armies, and it is also the best result."

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan's expression softened a bit, and then he said lukewarmly: "Then the envoy, let's talk about it."

Seeing this, Gen's heart finally dropped from his throat. He stabilized his mind first, and then said: "That's it, what does my king mean? As long as the general is willing to retreat, from now on, I, Xirong, will never

If you do it again, I would like to be forever friendly with the general."

"Is it that simple?" Xiao Yuan almost laughed out of anger.

"Then...what does the general mean?" Genn asked tentatively.

"What a joke!" Xiao Yuan sneered: "Listening to what the envoy said, do you really think that our Qin army is afraid of Xirong! If you want to fight, then fight! There is no sincerity in making peace like this!"

"This, this, general, I really mean it, why do you say this?" Genn became a little anxious.

"Let me ask you! Do you, Xirong, want to fight this battle?"

"This..." Genn didn't know how to answer.

Xiao Yuan continued: "Since you, Xirong, want to invade my Qin territory and start a war, and now that you can't win, you don't want to fight? Have you ever asked me about the Qin army officers?"

"Then...what does the general mean?" Genn's face became even more anxious.

"If you want to stop this battle, you can, but you must comply with my three conditions."

"Which, which three?"

Xiao Yuan said directly: "First, it is the invasion war launched by you. Xirong must pay the due price for this war and make certain post-war compensation."

This point has actually been discussed in Xirong. Xirong also knew that this matter would happen. The reason why Gen didn't mention it before was because he wanted to maximize his interests.

Now that Xiao Yuan brought it up, he expected it, so he didn't say much, but asked: "What about the second item?"

"Second, during his tenure as governor, Xirong occupied twelve cities in Qin for two years. All the gold and silver collected in these twelve cities, as well as all kinds of losses, must be repaid!" Xiao Yuan said directly

.

"This, General Xiao..."

Gen wanted to say something, but Xiao Yuan didn't give him a chance and said again: "Third, from now on, within a hundred miles north of Qingshan, the Xirong are not allowed to go south to herd horses, otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation to war!"

When he finished speaking, Genn was very anxious: "This! General Xiao, these conditions are too much!"

As he spoke, he continued: "Post-war compensation, these can be discussed, but we have already given up the twelve cities. If we add conditions, it will be too hard!"

"Haha, did you give up the twelve cities?" Xiao Yuan smiled and said unceremoniously: "Those were fought back by our soldiers of the Qin Army after a bloody battle!"

"In addition, I have also considered the post-war compensation just now. Xirong must pay 10,000 war horses and 1,000 cattle and sheep. This condition is not excessive."

The most valuable thing in Xirong is, of course, the war horses!

Their war horses are tall and fat, and they gallop with lightning speed. They are different from the war horses of the Central Plains and are more suitable for cavalry combat.

Xirong is a foreign tribe from a foreign country with a small population. They don't have any silk and satin at all. If they were asked to pay a huge amount of gold and silver, they probably wouldn't be able to afford it. It would be more practical to ask for war horses, because what Xiao Yuan lacks now is cavalry.

, and during times of war, it was very difficult to purchase horses in the Central Plains.

After listening to what he said, Genn said anxiously: "We can accept the conditions proposed by General Xiao for post-war compensation, but the matter of the twelve cities..."

"All the gold and silver looted by Xirong must be repaid in full, without negotiation." Xiao Yuan interrupted him.

"This, this, General Xiao!" Gen's face turned red, and even his tone changed a bit.

Xiao Yuan glanced at him and said in a cold voice: "The messenger doesn't need to say anything. If you don't agree, then please go back and tell King Xirong that I'll see you on the battlefield!"

After saying that, he immediately signaled to Shangguan Wenruo: "See you off."

"Yes." Shangguan Wenruo responded, stood up and was about to extend his hand as an invitation. In fact, these conditions were discussed in advance between him and Xiao Yuan.

But now Xirong just wants to sue for peace and can't fight anymore. When Genn saw this, he could not be impatient. He quickly said: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute, I don't have the right to agree to these conditions now. I hope General Xiao can wait for a few days."

, allow me to report back to my king."

"That's it..." Xiao Yuan was not in a hurry and said after a while: "That's okay, I will be waiting for you here for a few days."

Hey! Genn sighed secretly. He had no choice. As a peace envoy, he said he was asking for peace, but it sounded better than surrender.

Before meeting Xiao Yuan, he had already thought that this trip might not be easy. Now that they actually met, Xiao Yuan's strength also made him feel tremendous pressure.

At the negotiation table, the party with strength always has the right to speak, let alone the victory or defeat of a war.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Yuan with great worry, Genn rushed back to the country without stopping for a moment.

When he came back, he met the King of Xirong and told him the result of his trip. When the latter heard this, he became furious and couldn't help but stare and said:

"This Xiao Yuan is going too far! I really think this king is afraid of him!"

"Oh, Your Majesty, calm down, calm down." Genn repeatedly advised: "Now that Xiao Yuan's war has been won, it is inevitable for the lion to open his mouth, but our country cannot continue to fight."

"Huh!" After hearing what he said, King Xirong said angrily: "Of these three conditions, the first one is acceptable to me, but the other two conditions are extremely difficult. Xiao Yuan is completely treating the winner of the war with

This attitude despises this king!"

He said this, and Gen swallowed, not knowing how to answer, but in fact, Xiao Yuan did win the battle.

It wasn't until after a while that King Xirong was less angry that he tentatively said: "King, although Xiao Yuan has set harsh conditions for the twelve cities, it is not up to us to decide how much compensation we will pay him.

How does he know how much gold and silver we have plundered?"

"Hiss...that makes sense." After hearing this, King Xirong couldn't help but take a breath, and then asked: "In your opinion, how much gold and silver should be compensated?"

"One hundred thousand taels of gold and one million taels of silver. If Xiao Yuan doesn't agree, we can try again." Gen said directly.
