In the magnificent hall, he looked at the crowd of people kneeling in front of him.

Han Lin said it was impossible not to be excited.

Anyone who suddenly sits in this position from an ordinary person cannot maintain a calm mind.

But at least I have a system in hand.

Han Lin didn't lose his composure.

"My dear friends, no courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Han Lin's eyes calmly swept in front of the civil and military officials below.

These people seem to be respectful on the surface, but in fact they all have evil intentions.

Maybe you are planning something in your mind right now.

In the calm hall, Wei Xian shouted loudly: "If there is something going on, we will start, if there is nothing, we will retreat!"

The words fell,

Liu Si, the Minister of Rites, came out and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy from the State of Yan arrived in Linzi yesterday. Do you want to summon him?"

The expressions of all the civil and military officials changed.

In this current situation, Qi's main force is depleted.

At present, there are only 30,000 defeated soldiers left, retreating to Changlin Pass.

At this time, the State of Yan suddenly sent an envoy over, and it must be that the person who came was evil.

Han Lin looked calm and said: "Inform him to come in!"

"The envoy of Xuan Yan State has an audience!"

soon,

The envoys of the State of Yan appeared in the sight of the officials.

The fat body walked with arrogance, as if he didn't recognize his relatives.

Come to the palace,

He looked even more arrogant, showing no respect at all, and just slightly raised his hand: "Wang Fang, envoy of the State of Yan, has met His Majesty the State of Qi."

Seeing the other party's arrogant look, the surrounding military attachés glared angrily.

Han Lin's face was indeed calm, and there was no sign of any mood swings: "I wonder what the reason for Ambassador Yan's visit is?"

Wang Fang, the envoy of the State of Yan, said loudly: "His Majesty the State of Qi must have known about the battle reports of the past few days."

"Now, the Yan State's 200,000 troops are approaching Changlin Pass. As long as the commander of the Yan army gives the order, Changlin Pass can be captured in an instant. By then, the entire Qi State will be defenseless, and Linzi City will also be exposed. Under Dayan’s iron cavalry.”

"But Emperor Yan was kind and could not bear to see the people of Qi in ruins, so he sent a special mission to come down again to negotiate peace with Qi."

"As long as Qi is willing to cede Changlin Pass and add 500,000 stones of grain and grass, the Yan army can retreat."

"And the State of Yan is willing to make peace with the State of Qi, become an ally, and jointly defend against the enemy!"

Wang Fang, the envoy of the State of Yan, had just finished speaking.

After hearing the content, the faces of the civil and military officials changed instantly. They all looked angry and yelled.

"Be bold!"

"presumptuous!"

"You want Daqi to cede Changlin Pass? It's simply a wishful thinking!"

"If you want to fight with Yan State, then fight. Changlin Pass is the throat of Daqi, and there is no way it will be ceded!"

"Go back to your country of Yan. There is no way that we, Da Qi, will agree to such a treaty that is humiliating and humiliating the country!"

Wang Fang ignored it and looked at Han Lin on the dragon chair with a smile.

Han Lin sneered.

After defeat, there is nothing wrong with ceding land.

But the conditions of Yan State are no different than a lion opening its mouth.

Qi State has solid mountains in the west, dangerous rivers in the north, and endless sea in the east, giving it a natural defensive advantage.

Changlin Pass stands at the junction of Zhuohe River and Duanshan Mountain.

It can be said to be the barrier of Qi.

If this place is given to Yan State,

The entire Qi State will be flattened, and there is no danger to defend. Linzi City will also be exposed to the Yan army's cavalry.

To surrender this place is to place one's neck across the enemy's sword.

But it is impossible for anyone with a normal IQ to agree to such a request.

besides,

It also comes with five hundred thousand stones of food and grass.

Qi's food tax revenue last year was only 570,000 shi.

Yan Guo's current mouth is nearly a year's tax revenue.

This food is enough to feed an army of 200,000 for eight months.

Although Qi State can take out so much, if it empties its grain depot at once, if there is a famine or war next year, it is possible that they will starve to death.

Even if Han Lin obtained the Hunjun system,

Hearing the other party's conditions, he couldn't help but laugh angrily.

"Okay, okay, the Yan State is really kind. Are you negotiating terms like this?"

"Do you think I will agree to such ridiculous conditions?" Han Lin said in a serious tone.

Wang Fang, the envoy of the State of Yan, sneered and said proudly: "I advise His Majesty the State of Qi to think carefully before making a decision."

"This is a good thing for both our countries. Otherwise, when the Yan army breaks through Changlin Pass, the conditions will not be so simple."

"presumptuous!"

"How bold are you to threaten His Majesty?"

"Break Changlin Pass? Changlin Pass is surrounded by tigers and dragons. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Since the Yan army is so capable, let's attack it and have a look."

"Hmph, if Yan Jun is really capable, there is no need to come over for peace talks."

The surrounding ministers looked unkind and made sarcastic remarks.

Although Qi State suffered a disastrous defeat a few days ago.

The entire army of 100,000 was wiped out.

However, Changlin Pass, as an important town in the empire, has a dangerous terrain. It can be said that one man can't open the pass without ten thousand people.

Even if the Yan State had millions of troops, it would be impossible to attack it from the outside.

Wang Fang obviously also guessed the reaction of Qi's monarchs and ministers.

He looked around with disdain, then raised his hand again and said: "Your Majesty, Qi State, if Qi State is willing to agree to cede Changlin Pass, it is also willing to pay two hundred thousand taels of silver to show its sincerity, and in addition..."

Before the other party finished speaking,

Han Lin interrupted Wang Fang directly and said in an indifferent tone: "You don't need to say anything, no matter what the conditions are, I will never agree."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is right. No matter what the conditions are, Qi will never agree."

"Qi State, don't give up an inch of land!"

"If Yan has the ability, he will attack. Qi will not be afraid!"

After Han Lin finished speaking, all the officials agreed.

Wang Fang, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, frowned slightly and spoke again: "In addition to 200,000 taels of silver, the Yan Kingdom is also willing to contribute 3,000 war horses, 10,000 taels of gold, fifty pearls, and the most beautiful woman in the Yan Kingdom, Lin Xuerou. To Your Majesty."

"Are your ears hard to use? I just said, no matter what conditions you give..."

Han Lin stood up and was about to yell.

Suddenly a system voice appeared in my mind.

【Ding! 】

[Discover the mission. 】

[The State of Yan wants to use an unequal treaty in exchange for the Changlin Pass, the barrier of the State of Qi, and asks the host to make a choice. 】

[Choice 1: Want beauty rather than country, agree to the conditions of Yan State, reward Qi State for good weather in the next five years, double grain production, and a plague will appear in Yan State's military camp in three months. 】

[Option 2: Reject Yan Guo’s conditions, no reward. 】

A series of reminders,

Han Lin was left stunned.

After reading the tips,

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, it really deserves to be a faint king system.

This kind of mission that humiliates the country can be issued.

But this reward...

Don't tell me, it smells really good.

In the next five years, the weather will be good and the grain harvest will be bumper, so there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass.

And plague will break out in the military camp.

Just right,

I will recuperate for three months first, and then I can recapture Changlin Pass in one fell swoop.
