Although the Xirong King was very angry at the conditions proposed by Xiao Yuan, the domestic situation left him helpless to agree.

He was afraid that the Qin army would continue to penetrate the Western Rong. If it traveled three hundred miles apart, it would be time to hit his lair.

But in fact, the Qin army is unable to go deeper due to various situations.

A few days later, Gehn went to the Qin army camp again.

This time, after meeting Xiao Yuan, neither of them talked nonsense, and went straight to the point and began to explain the war and peace.

In the big tent, Gehn said: "The three conditions previously issued by the general have been reported to me. Only after domestic consultation can we make certain concessions."

"Very good." Xiao Yuan nodded, not intending to beat around the bush: "Does the gold and silver compensation for the twelve cities have detailed names?"

"This." Geen pondered for a moment and said, "According to the plan, we are willing to compensate the general with 100,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver. This is also the biggest concession in our country."

Hearing this number, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at Shangguan Wenruo.

At that time, the ratio of gold and silver was one to one hundred, that is, one hundred taels of gold could be exchanged for 10 million taels of silver.

But those are the twelve cities, and the twelve counties. Before they were occupied by the Western Rong, not to mention how prosperous it was, at least the population should be placed there.

How could Xiao Yuan be willing to do this with just these gold and silver?

He immediately sneered: "The biggest concession? The messenger is really good at joking. Could it be that he treats me as a three-year-old child to deceive me?"

As he spoke, he said again: "Three hundred thousand taels of gold and five million taels of silver are the biggest concessions that I can make."

What!? Hearing this, Gehn suddenly widened his eyes and said incredibly: "This, this, general, this is too bullying!"

"Bully?" Xiao Yuan sneered and said without hesitation: "When you Xirong invaded my Qin territory and slaughtered my people, why don't you bully me?"

"Yes...but that's war..."

"It's also a war now!" Xiao Yuan interrupted him: "There's nothing to say. I still say the same thing. Whether it's a war or a peace depends on your Xirong himself."

He was too strong and couldn't help but double the pressure of Gehn. After being stunned for a while, he swallowed and said, "General Xiao, I think this matter can be discussed, but you do this..."

Next, the two undoubtedly began to quarrel again. Gehn kept bargaining. After several tests, Xiao Yuan saw that this condition had indeed exceeded the Xirong's tolerance range. He also took advantage of the situation and stopped when he was about to get better.

Finally, both sides took a step back and reached a peace agreement at a price of 200,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver, plus tens of thousands of war horses and thousands of cattle and sheep.

After the matter was settled, Xiao Yuan also asked someone to get the pen and ink, and the two parties began to sign relevant documents.

The content of the document was written by Shangguan Wenruo, which detailed the post-war affairs of this war and the agreement reached between Qin and Xirong.

He was a literati, his handwriting was flowing and very clean and neat. After he finished writing, Xiao Yuan first took it over and looked at it, and then handed it to Geen.

As an official in the diplomatic affairs of the Western Rong, Gehn naturally knew the Chinese characters. He fell down and carefully read the documents, and then said with a bitter face: "General Xiao, I think we can discuss and discuss..."

Xiao Yuan's face sank: "I have made enough concessions. If the envoy does this again, he will have no sincerity! How can he cease to fight!"

His tone was very bad and he almost shouted coldly. When Guen heard this, he had no choice but to smile bitterly, then picked up the brush, representing the Xirong side, and began to sign.

He signed the character Xirong. After Xiao Yuan read it, he also picked up a pen and wrote down his name, and then stamped it with a seal. This matter was calculated.

At this moment, a heavy pen and ink were left in the imperial history books, becoming the famous Treaty of Kuroishihara.

After the matter was completed, Geen left the Qin army camp with a sigh. Then, the Xirong began to escort people and sent huge compensation. After Xiao Yuandian's inspection, the entire army also began to retreat.

This battle was a bit unacceptable to the Xirong, but for Xiao Yuan, he undoubtedly tasted the sweetness of fighting with war.

Qin is very poor, and if you want to develop the economy, you cannot get up in a year or two. There is a time transition between this.

But with this large amount of compensation, he can support the army and recruit soldiers.

After nearly a year of war, a comprehensive victory was finally achieved. The soldiers from all over the Qin army cheered, and the generals of each unit were even more full of spring breeze.

Because after returning to Qinzhou, there was no doubt that Xiao Yuan would reward him according to his merits.

Here we returned triumphantly, with huge teams, flags flying, and soldiers with black armor and red tassels lined up in a long row, and there was no end at a glance.

After several days of marching, the Qin army finally came to Qingshan County.

At present, he was riding a tall horse, walking at the front of the team, with several Qin generals protecting him from behind.

After walking twenty miles forward, Qingshan County was there, but looking at the surrounding terrain, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but tie the reins.

As soon as he stopped, the large troops behind him also stopped one after another.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Yuan did not respond, but observed carefully, then pointed to the surroundings and said, "Look, the terrain here is simply a natural pass, which can be said to have strangled the throat of the northwest of Qin. If a heroic pass can be established here, he can always be outside the pass."

As he spoke, he sighed softly: "It's a pity that we are poor..."

After hearing what he said, the generals couldn't help but look up at the surroundings. The terrain here was indeed very good. If a heroic pass could be established, it would be like adding a door to Qin.

Shangguan Wenruo thought about it and said, "Sir, it is considered feasible to establish a pass here. In terms of gold and silver, you can submit a memorial to the imperial court to report this matter and request the court to allocate funds."

"Haha." Xiao Yuan smiled, shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Shangguan is thinking too much, this memorial will not work."

"The Lord is right." Shangguan Wenruo did not defend himself, but said: "The real intention of this memorial is not to allow the imperial court to allocate funds, but to make the imperial court have no reason to ask for money from Qin again."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at him and signaled him to continue.

Shangguan Wenruo said: "I heard that the emperor has been in the Great Practice Palace recently. It won't take long to ask the local government to force taxes and pay them again. At this time, the master gave a memorial in advance and asked the emperor for money to build the city gate. The imperial court saw that the master was not enough to make money to build the city gate, so he could no longer ask for it."
