"Let's negotiate peace!" Following Han Wangan's helpless lament, Kaifangchi, as the prime minister, could only shoulder this important task and appeared in the Qin army's camp.
"Wang Wangan of Han wants to negotiate for peace? The war has already reached this point. Is it too late to think about negotiating for peace?" Meng Ao looked at the open land in front of him and said gently, without any arrogance.
Although Kaifangdi is the Prime Minister of South Korea, Meng Ao is no stranger to Kaidai. This world may sound big, but it is actually very small.
After all, there are only a few people who can stand at the top of the Qin and Korean ministers. In the past few decades, it is not that Meng Ao and Kaifang have no intersection, they know each other.
"General Meng, you should also know how to give in when things are good. Even if you can capture Xinzheng, you will really be able to destroy our country, South Korea." Zhang Kai said in a deep voice.
The Prime Minister of South Korea, who is over sixty years old, is in a very bad mood at this time. Under such circumstances, negotiating peace with Qin will undoubtedly cost a huge price. Even if it succeeds, he will still have to live in the saliva of the Korean people.
, the reputation of his open land.
Thinking of this, Zhang Kai felt a pain in his heart. For South Korea, at this time, he could only endure it.
"South Korea's 100,000-strong army was destroyed by 50,000. Now Xinzheng is also in danger and is about to fall. Why can't our Qin army destroy South Korea?" Meng Ao said with a half-smile.
"General Meng, don't forget that the garrison in Nanyang, the western border of South Korea, is still there." Zhang Zhang opened the tunnel.
"But do they dare to move?" Meng Ao asked nonchalantly.
"There are still two countries, Zhao and Wei. Qin's defeat of South Korea and occupation of the city is nothing, but if South Korea is to be destroyed, can Zhao and Wei sit idly by and do nothing? Does Qin want to go to war with Zhao and Wei at the same time? Really?
When that time comes, is the Chu State willing to just sit back and watch?" Zhang Kai said.
"We are not Zhao Wei, nor Chu State. No one knows what they will do." Meng Ao said.
"General Meng, we are not stupid people. The Qin army has no intention of destroying our country this time, so don't make false threats here. We, South Korea, are willing to negotiate peace, and Qin should go with the flow. You have already gained in this war
Get what you want." Zhang Kai said.
"You and I have known each other for more than thirty years. I won't hide this from you. We really have no intention of destroying South Korea, but this has nothing to do with whether we need to capture Xinzheng. We want to
You can negotiate peace, show your sincerity." Meng Ao looked at his 'old friend' and said.
"Northern city, three hundred thousand gold." He opened the tunnel.
"The northern city is already in the hands of our Qin army. This bargaining chip is not included. As for the three hundred thousand gold? Less, there are more than three hundred thousand gold in Xinzheng city." Meng Ao shook his head and said.
"What do you mean?" Kaifengdi was not disappointed because of Meng Ao's words. Being able to talk is a good thing in itself.
"Xinzheng has been the capital of the Zheng Kingdom since 500 years ago. It is an important commercial center in the Central Plains. The wealth accumulated over 500 years is worthy of being ranked among the top five in the world. Three hundred thousand gold is just a drop in the bucket.
That’s it, we want three million gold.” Meng Ao said.
"Hiss." Zhang Kai couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Compared with the value of Xinzheng, which is three million gold, Xinzheng is definitely more valuable. However, although King Han is the master of Xinzheng, not everything in Xinzheng belongs to King Han. How can Wang An of Han get three million gold.
"General Meng's appetite is too big. You should know that with the financial resources of the King of Han, he cannot afford three million gold, at most one million, and no more." Kai Zhang said.
"South Korea can't afford three million gold. It's just that it can't afford gold. It can be replaced by other things, such as goods, silk, ordnance, or even people." Meng Ao said.
"That three million is too much." Zhang Kaidi quickly calculated in his heart.
"There is still room for squeezing. When our Qin army attacks the city, we will get more than three million gold." Meng Ao threatened.
"Is there no room for negotiation?" he asked openly.
"No." Meng Ao said firmly.
"Allow me to go back and discuss it with the king," Kaifeng said hesitantly.
"Don't think about delaying time. While you are discussing, we will still attack the city. If we attack before you have reached the conclusion of the discussion, you will not need to discuss it." Meng Ao said.
"Can't we postpone it for one day, even half a day?" Kaifeng said unwillingly.
"I know that Wei's troops have almost been assembled and are heading towards South Korea. Delaying the troops will not work," Meng Ao said.
"Two hours." Zhang Zhang said.
"One hour, I will give you one hour at most." Meng Ao said.
"Yes." He gritted his teeth and said.
"Then I will wait for your news in an hour." Meng Ao said.
······
"Three million gold, hateful, shameful, robbers, why didn't the Qin army go and rob it?" Han Wangan said angrily after receiving the peace terms brought back from Zhang Zhang.
Three million gold? What a huge number that is. South Korea’s annual tax revenue is only one million gold.
"Your Majesty, the Qin army is just trying to rob us." Zhang Kai said in pain.
"Three million, where can I find these three million gold? Now the national treasury plus the palace's contents only add up to half a million gold." Han Wangan said desperately.
"Your Majesty, you can collect gold from nobles and common people, and even use various substances to replace gold." Kai Zhang said.
"Then you go down and do it and raise money as soon as possible so that the Qin army can withdraw." Han Wangan said helplessly and desperately.
For a time, Xinzheng was in a state of panic, and countless people were either forced or voluntarily exposed their secret possessions at home.
after one day.
In the Han Palace, Han Wangan relaxed his frown a little as he listened to Kaifeng's report.
"Have you raised 2.7 million yuan?" Han Wangan asked.
"Yes, it's already 2.7 million, but there's still 300,000 left. I really can't find it." Kai Zhang said.
"Three hundred thousand, three hundred thousand..." Han Wangan thought, thinking about what else could be sold in the palace.
"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a wealthy businessman in Xinzheng named Jade Tiger, who is worth a lot of money. We can start with him." Kai Zhang said.
"Emerald Tiger? He is a businessman. He has spent 100,000 gold worth and is still short of 200,000 gold." Han Wangan said.
"Your Majesty, during the siege of the city by the Qin army, the emerald tigers hoarded and made a fortune. It is said that they made more than 100,000 gold." opened the tunnel.
"Damn it, during the national crisis, these profiteers still wanted to make a fortune, but they were confiscated by Gu Cha." Han Wangan said angrily.
In this war, he only lost less than selling his daughter, but these profiteers actually made a fortune. This disparity made Ben Lei's unhappy Han Wangan even more angry.
