Before Guan Ning could speak, Ji Chuan continued: "Although Daning won the victory, it is still difficult to support the country. Daning's army suffered heavy casualties. The best choice at this time is to get compensation and cede territory and end the war!"

"It won't do any good if we continue to fight."

"You are right."

Guan Ning did not deny what Ji Chuan said.

What is fought for in a war is national strength, grain and grass reserves, weapons and equipment, logistical supplies, and military strength... These constitute national strength.

Daning has won, but it has also been exhausted, and even overdrafted. If it continues to fight, it is likely to be dragged down...

"However, Wei and Liang should be worse, right?"

Guan Ning said calmly: "Otherwise, why would you two emperors travel thousands of miles to Beijing to seek peace?"

"What if we join forces?"

Ji Chuan gritted his teeth and said: "Zhu Zhen is not as scrupulous about reputation as his father Zhu Wen, nor is he as stubborn as Zhu Zhen. The alliance between us must be stable..."

"The two countries of Wei and Liang have suffered great losses in national power, but as long as we are in alliance, the current Daning cannot be shaken!"

"You are right."

Guan Ning said calmly: "But I have nothing to fear!"

Such a strong stance made Himekawa unbelievable.

At this time, he only needs to relax a little to get compensation for ceding territory. Both he and Zhu Zhen can come to Beijing in person, which shows that the bottom line is also set very low.

But Guan Ning directly refused to negotiate with Liang Guohe...

It's like he knows what Himekawa is thinking.

Guan Ning said: "Since the establishment of Daning's new dynasty, you have been eyeing it with intent to annex Daning."

"Before this war, a declaration of war was issued. The alliance has more than one million soldiers... We, Daning, are facing the crisis of national collapse. Now that we have failed, we have come to seek peace. What if we win?"

"Will you let Daning go? At this time, you are probably discussing how to carve up Daning, right?"

Guan Ning stood up and said in a deep voice: "The struggle for hegemony on the mainland is like this. I can accept it calmly, but I will not accept peace easily."

"I want land, and Daning's army will personally go get it... This is just the beginning!"

Himekawa was shocked inside.

It wasn't until this moment that he understood what the Emperor Yuanwu in front of him was thinking.

He already had thoughts of annexing the two kingdoms of Wei and Liang, so he did not want to end it by suing for peace...

Himekawa took a deep breath.

"If you agree to cease the war and withdraw your troops, the Wei State can pay compensation and cede territory, including several small islands in the waters of the East China Sea..."

"I only have one condition."

"Then I can only refuse."

Ji Chuan said in a deep voice: "If I agree to your conditions, the Wei State will be a vassal state of Daning and will be under direct control... How is the Wei State different from a subjugated country?"

"If you don't agree, your country will be destroyed. It may be even more tragic than this."

"Are you... just confident that you can destroy our country, Wei?"

"yes!"

Every word and word made the atmosphere in Fengtian Hall become extremely depressing.

Behind Ji Chuan, Song Wei's heart sank to the bottom of his heart. He thought that His Majesty would be able to come to a conclusion in person, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

The conditions proposed by Emperor Daning were too harsh.

Having experienced the collapse of the Great Wei Baoguan, they all knew the pros and cons involved.

Different from gold and silver, Daning Baobao is Daning's unique currency and once it becomes the currency of Wei State.

Daning indirectly controlled Wei.

This is indeed no different than the subjugation of the country.

"No need to discuss?"

Guan Ning said: "I didn't even give Zhu Zhen a chance."

Himekawa understood.

Being able to talk to him is already a great privilege.

His heart was heavy, and after a while he calmly said: "I cannot accept your conditions, I can only leave with Zhu Zhen...!"

Himekawa made a decision.

Before coming, he never imagined that this would be the result.

He brought his royal family members with him, and even lowered his status in the name of visiting relatives. He came to seek peace...

The devastated Wei State needs time to recover. It must get out of the chaos of war before the courtiers and people's hearts can regain stability.

So here he is.

He was already prepared to pay reparations and cede territory. This was the price a defeated country should pay.

It's just that the conditions proposed by Guan Ning are really unacceptable to him. He didn't understand it before, but now he understands.

After paying indemnity and ceding territory, the State of Wei was still the State of Wei.

If Guan Ning's conditions are agreed to, Wei will no longer be Wei.

Himekawa thought he would be panicked, but at this moment, he felt very calm inside...

He has been imitating Emperor Yuanwu, but he has not learned the most important thing.

His composure when faced with difficulties, his momentum that never fades, and his unparalleled domineering attitude!

This is what he should learn,

"Feel sorry."

Guan Ning looked at Ji Chuan, this was a bit beyond his expectation, but he was also a bit surprised.

If Himekawa really agreed, he might think that this uncle is just like that and not worth mentioning.

Now he truly regards Himekawa as his opponent, a respectable opponent.

"It's nothing."

Ji Chuan said: "As you said, if the Wei-Liang Alliance wins, then I won't come to this Chui Gong Palace in this way. Maybe I will be the master here."

"There is another possibility."

"What?"

Guan Ning said: "Wei and Liang did not share the spoils evenly, and they broke into trouble before they even reached the capital."

"Well, it's possible."

Himekawa's desire to complain came back.

"You don't know Emperor Wu of Liang Zhu Wen. He has been burdened by the reputation of Emperor Wu all his life. He can't bear any failure. It's like he has been on the altar and can't get down. By the time he gets down, it's already too late."

"There is also Zhu Zhen, the war god of Daliang, who is a big parallel import with nothing but appearances... In short, these two father and son are cheaters. The savings of the late Emperor Jianwen have been exhausted, and it is too late to regret!

"

Guan Ning wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate.

Those who know each other best are not only opponents, but also allies.

"but....."

Ji Chuan suddenly said seriously: "Zhu Zhenhui is a reliable ally. He wears commoners, walks on foot, and humbles himself for peace all the way. It is not easy to do this. He can also take the throne from Zhu Zhen. This person

Very cool!"

He scolded and scolded, but he also did not hesitate to praise.

Guan Ning didn't deny it either.

Zhu Zhen's performance is indeed very high-level, and the moral kidnapping is clear. Although he does not accept this trick, it does not mean that it has no effect.

Because Zhu Wen and Zhu Zhen lost the people's support through aggressive military activities, many Liang people turned to Daning. Now the lost people's support has been regained by Zhu Zhen. This is his skill.

Guan Ning recalled the scene when Zhu Zhen came to Beijing as the chief envoy. After so many years, the prince who was still very young at the time had become the king of a country and even his opponent...

"A new Wei-Liang alliance is about to begin. Emperor Yuanwu, just wait."

"I'm waiting."

Ji Chuan asked again: "You can actually leave me and Zhu Zhen in Shangjing, so that you can easily seize the Wei and Liang kingdoms."

"I conquer the world with the royal method."

"Well, he is indeed Emperor Yuanwu."

"Say goodbye to Xiao Ran and Qimei for me."

Himekawa said something and walked out without looking back. When he reached the door, he stopped again.

"It's not bad for Seventh Sister to marry in Daning. You are a good brother-in-law."
