The joy on Manchao Wenwu's face gradually solidified and turned into anger.
Especially the martial arts heroes looked at Princess Changping as if they wanted to choose someone to devour!
Even Emperor Zhaowu Liu Yu's face turned cold instantly.
Li Changkong sighed deeply when he saw this.
He knew it wouldn't be that easy.
Why are people so angry? The main reason is that the land west of Hexi is too important to Daqian!
In other words, it is very important to any country among the four countries!
Because this is a place where horses are raised!
To be precise, it was the horse breeding land that originally belonged to Beiyuan!
Later, during the Northern Expedition of Emperor Xiaowu of Daqian, he directly attacked Shanhaiguan and turned the territory south of Shanhaiguan into the possession of Daqian!
And this also includes the land of Hexi!
Before the land in Hexi was recovered by Emperor Xiaowu, it was the third largest horse breeding farm in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
After the recovery, it was developed by the ancestors of Daqian Dynasty and became even larger in scale.
Now it can be regarded as one of the top three horse breeding places in the world.
So Daqian actually has no shortage of war horses.
During the period of Emperor Xiaowu, he even trained Qianwu soldiers who were comparable to Beiyuan Langqi, Xiqin Iron Cavalry and Dachu Wangqi.
It's a pity that the successive kings after Emperor Xiaowu were not very virtuous.
Including the late emperor Jing Xingdi, he was more than capable of maintaining his status and not enough of pioneering.
Over time, the Qianwu soldiers fell into disuse and disappeared.
But this cannot deny the importance of Hexi to Daqian!
In this era when cavalry is king, with the land west of Hexi, Daqian can form an elite cavalry at any time as long as he is willing to spend money!
But if it is handed over, haha, in the future, it will be difficult to compete with the top powers in terms of cavalry.
"Are all the people from the Western Jin Dynasty so arrogant?" Zhu Wen stood up directly and scolded: "We only have 100,000 soldiers, but they want to exchange the land of Hexi that I have fought for!"
"Wishful thinking!"
"Yes, it's just a dream!"
"In my opinion, you have no intention of negotiating at all, and you have no sincerity at all!"
"This animal should be forked out quickly!"
In just an instant, the scene in the Zhengde Hall changed from the joy and joy just now to the tense situation now.
The warriors all glared angrily, wishing they could eat Princess Changping.
Although the civil servants didn't say anything, they showed dissatisfaction, apparently feeling that this deal was a huge loss.
When Princess Changping saw this, even though she had been prepared in her heart, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "If your country is willing to give up the land west of Hexi, all the conditions mentioned by me before will be invalid!"
"I, the Western Jin Dynasty, only want the land west of Hexi!"
As soon as these words are said, it is tantamount to trying to make a fool of yourself.
The atmosphere in the hall became solemn in an instant, and all the civil and military officials in the court looked at Emperor Zhaowu, waiting for his answer.
"For this reason, I, the Western Jin Dynasty, can even offer a piece of land that is as fertile and the same size as the land in Hexi in exchange!"
"This is all my sincerity in the Western Jin Dynasty."
"Please ask His Majesty the Emperor Daqian to make a decision."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention focused on Emperor Zhaowu Liu Yu again.
A piece of equally fertile land of the same size was exchanged for the land west of Hexi, plus a hundred thousand elite troops.
If you really want to say it, it is actually sincere.
But the land west of Hexi is a strategic location for Daqian, how can it be given up to others?
How to make a decision is really a difficult problem!
Hearing this, Liu Yu pondered for a moment, then finally shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please come back."
"In the battle with Beiyuan, everyone will work together and work together, so you won't have to worry about it."
This is rejection.
The ministers breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
But then, he became worried again.
The land in Hexi has been saved, but what about Shanhaiguan?
If that didn't work, he sent someone to Da Chu to ask the titular emperor for help.
But...if we really want to get to this point, I'm afraid there is little hope.
The status of the Great Chu Emperor's Kingdom exists in name only, and it hardly enjoys any power, but now it requires the other party to fulfill corresponding obligations. Isn't this nonsense?
If the Western Jin Dynasty was attacked, the other party would definitely send troops to help in order to protect its eastern territory.
But by chance, the person who was suppressed and beaten by Bei Yuan was Dagan from the Western Jin Dynasty, who was separated from him.
In this way, even if Da Qian is destroyed, it will not have much impact on Da Chu.
In this way, even if Dachu sends troops, it will probably be just a thought.
In the main hall, Princess Changping heard this, but she was not discouraged. Instead, she showed an expected expression.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Daqian, the land west of Hexi is a strategically important place. It is expected that your country does not want to give up."
"However, if your country can provide other rewards, my promise just now will still be valid."
As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials in the court were overjoyed.
Only Emperor Zhaowu and Li Changkong frowned, and an ominous premonition filled their hearts.
"Other rewards? What else do you want?" Zhang Xun stood up and asked.
"Your country's general who conquers the west, An Beibo, the prince of Wulinghou, is Li Changkong!"
boom!
As soon as these words came out, an uproar instantly broke out in the entire hall.
The attention of the civil and military officials in the court also shifted from Emperor Zhaowu to Li Changkong.
"Can one Li Changkong be worth the land of Hexi and an army of 100,000 people?" Someone clicked his tongue and whispered.
But unexpectedly, Princess Changping heard it. The latter nodded and solemnly said: "It's worth it!"
"We in the Western Jin Dynasty are always thirsty for talents, and your country's General Zhengxi is a talented general who is rare to see in a century!"
"It's really hard to bear to see it."
"If your country is willing to allow General Li and the Wuling Marquis Mansion to move westward and become Jin people, there will still be a lot of troops of one hundred thousand tigers and wolves, and they will immediately go north to Shanhaiguan to fight against the Yuan Dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials couldn't help but look at each other.
There have been rumors among the people and the court recently that Li Changkong was having an affair with Princess Changping of the Western Jin Dynasty, and that he even had the idea of migrating westward.
But there aren’t many who really believe it.
But now...the facts are before our eyes! There is no room for them not to believe it!
But then I thought about it, if I only paid one Li Changkong, I could get a hundred thousand troops to help. It didn't seem impossible.
Even...earn money with blood!
After all, no matter how powerful Li Changkong is, he is just one person, how can he compare to the land of Hexi?
Besides, they already have famous generals such as Zhang Xun and King Zhongshan in their army.
Especially the King of Zhongshan, although he was a little frightened in front of Tuobatian Khan this time, he suffered repeated setbacks.
But except for the pioneering Badian Khan, looking at the countries in the four directions, there are probably no more than five fingers that can surpass him in Tao strategy!
Such a famous general in this world is also an outstanding person!
If Li Changkong wants to reach this level, it will take at least seven or eight years of practice.
By then, it’s hard to say whether Daqian will be there or not.
In comparison, exchanging Li Changkong for an army of 100,000 is really a good deal.
As a result, the attention of the civil and military officials in the court once again turned to Emperor Zhaowu, wanting to see how his majesty would choose.
