Liang Tao brought everyone into the negotiation room, and the two sides sat down opposite each other.
The chief envoy of this Western Region mission is named Yu Peng.
Then a funny scene occurred.
All the envoys of the Western Region Mission glanced at the recorder on the side.
Then I felt relieved.
It seems that last time, Jiang Qiulu and the others disguised themselves as record officers and listened to the negotiations between the two parties, leaving a shadow on the other party.
"Master Liang, I believe your country already knows our intention, so I won't say any more nonsense."
"All conditions are easy to negotiate, as long as your country can release our Crown Prince."
"We are willing to take all responsibility for the impact and losses caused to your country last time."
It has to be said that the quality of the envoys sent by the Western Region Mission this time has improved compared to the previous batch.
The other party didn't say anything rude, so Liang Tao naturally wanted to treat him politely.
"Okay, Sir, please speak quickly, so I will speak directly."
"Our conditions regarding this matter are."
"One hundred million taels of silver in mental damages."
Jiang Qiulu told Liang Tao the term "mental damage compensation".
Although this word often appears in modern legal provisions, it is not difficult to understand its meaning literally.
"How many?"
At first, Yu Peng thought he heard wrongly.
Some people even listened to it.
Yu Peng couldn't believe his ears, so he asked aloud.
"One hundred million taels."
When everyone heard these three words clearly, they suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"It's too much!"
At this time, a military general slammed the table and shouted loudly.
"How can our Western Region Dynasty afford so much silver?"
"Is it true that you are making things difficult for you on purpose?"
Jiang Chunxiao hid among the officials of Honglu Temple and glanced at him secretly.
Jiang Chunxiao recognized this person as his defeated general Bai Qinghai.
Yu Peng stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Master Liang is joking."
"Our Western Region dynasty simply cannot afford so much silver."
"The entire Western Region Dynasty's annual profit is only three million taels."
"With so much silver, our whole country would have to go without food and water for thirty years to get enough."
"Master Liang, can we discuss some reduction or exemption?" Yu Peng said.
"Haha, adults, don't worry."
"We have two options for your country to choose from."
Upon hearing that they had to choose one of the two, everyone in the Western Region Mission breathed a sigh of relief.
"Our Emperor said so."
"If one of the two conditions is met, our Zhenfu Division will release him immediately without delay." Liang Tao said.
Suddenly, Yu Peng felt that things would not be that simple, and couldn't help but worry.
"Master Liang, please tell me, what is the second condition?"
Liang Tao smiled and then spoke slowly.
"Golden Dragon Pass!"
"As long as your country returns the Golden Dragon Pass to us, your prince can also take it away."
At this time, Liang Tao was also very nervous.
If they said that they would give up the prince and let Daxia handle it, they would completely collapse.
The importance of Jinlong Pass must be known to every general in the Western Region Dynasty.
As long as you occupy this level, you will have an absolute advantage.
"That's unreasonable!"
"Jinlong Pass is our territory, I will give it back to you no matter what."
"Are you people from the Great Xia Dynasty so shameless?" Bai Qinghai exploded again, pointed at Liang Tao and shouted.
Facing Bai Qinghai who suddenly went crazy, Liang Tao was neither angry nor annoyed.
"General Bai, how many years have you been in the army?" Liang Tao asked Bai Qinghai with a joking smile on his face.
Bai Qinghai snorted coldly when he heard Liang Tao ask himself this question.
"General, I have been in the army for more than twelve years."
"Why do you ask?"
"Hahaha……"
Suddenly, Liang Tao burst out laughing, and all the envoys from the Western Regions were deceived on the spot.
Even Jiang Chunxiao, who was hiding in the crowd, smiled slightly.
"What General Bai said really makes me a little confused."
After the laughter ended, Liang Tao stood up.
"The Battle of Jinlong Pass happened thirty years ago, when the war between the two countries broke out for the first time."
"And General Bai has been in the military area for more than ten years, and he doesn't seem to have participated in this battle, right?"
Liang Tao paused and then continued.
"And, there's another important reason."
"If Jinlong Pass was originally the territory of the Western Region Dynasty, why didn't this battle spread among your military?"
"Recovering lost ground and defeating the enemy on the battlefield is the glory of your soldiers."
"Then I would like to ask, why doesn't General Bai know about such a classic and glorious battle?"
"Or are you saying that you won without force and erased this piece of history?"
"Or maybe you, the Western Region Dynasty, pretend to be confused and don't want to mention this matter?"
The continuous questions made all the envoys of the Western Regions mission blush.
"enough!"
Liang Tao tore open the fig leaf without mercy, and Bai Qinghai immediately shouted loudly.
"You said that our Western Region dynasty has tampered with history?"
"Then you have evidence to prove that the war thirty years ago was not fabricated by you?" Bai Qinghai said coldly.
"Bai Qinghai, stop quibbling here!"
"The battle of Jinlong Pass is known to the people of both countries."
"You're still a general, so you don't dare to admit the reality?"
"Bai Qinghai, a person has a face, and a tree has a skin."
"You have lived for such a long time, do you still want that old face of yours?"
"..."
Hearing that Bai Qinghai started to act rogue, the officials of Honglu Temple immediately began to accuse Bai Qinghai.
If etiquette had not been taken into consideration, someone might have rushed forward to fight for his life.
"No, I can't bear it anymore."
"This man's face is thicker than the city wall."
Just when Jiang Chunxiao was about to stand up and teach him a lesson, someone suddenly came in from the door.
"I can prove it!"
Everyone fell silent immediately, and then looked towards the door.
I saw Di Yuanzheng standing there, still holding a circled object in his hand.
"General Di, you are here."
When Liang Tao saw Di Yuanzheng coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him.
A group of Honglu Temple officials also followed suit and saluted.
"General Di?" Yu Peng murmured to himself and began to recall it carefully in his heart.
Seeing how much everyone respected this old man, everyone in the Western Region Mission also began to speculate on Di Yuanzheng's identity.
Suddenly, Yu Peng opened his eyes wide.
"General Daxia Protector, Di Yuanzheng!" Yu Peng said as if he was talking in a dream.
After hearing the words "General Protecting the Country", everyone immediately lost their composure.
Because the former general who protected the country died in the battle at Jinlong Pass.
Moreover, the achievements of Di Yuanzheng were well-known in surrounding countries.
That was a figure from the same period as Apocalypse King Jiang Beiming. Who knows?
Di Yuanzheng waved his hand, and then looked at the Western Region envoys.
The anger in Di Yuanzheng's eyes was revealed, and the faces of all the envoys felt as if they were being cut by knives.
That is the murderous aura that can only be possessed by people who have climbed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
