Zhao Shan looked at Yao Guangda's changed expression and understood that Yao Guang regarded Jiang Yuhuang as his forbidden wife.
It's a pity that Jiang Yuhuang is his.
Zhao Shan further said: "Emperor Liang, you and I are brothers and we don't speak the same language. If you want to exchange for your eldest nephew Yao Qian, just give him 18,000 war horses."
Yao Guang's eyes were slightly cold.
Eight thousand war horses opened his mouth. Is Zhao Shan dreaming?
Yao Guang pointed at the tens of thousands of Xiliang troops behind him and said loudly: "Emperor Zhao, have you seen the tens of thousands of Xiliang troops behind me? This is an elite force that I spent twenty years building. Can you stop it? You lion, open your mouth and ask them if they agree?"
Zhao Shan smiled contemptuously and said, "I have a feathered phoenix that can be broken with a snap of my fingers."
Yao Guang's cheeks twitched.
Damn Zhao Shan, always rubbing salt into his wounds.
Yao Guang said again: "There are many conflicts within Daqian, especially the division of kings, and the Daqian court has no rights. Once Daqian and Daliang go to war, I'm afraid you, Zhao Shan, can't bear the consequences."
Zhao Shan said easily: "I have Yuhuang, and I can bring peace to the world! In front of Yuhuang, those who cause trouble are just chickens and dogs."
Yao Guang was so angry that fire spewed out of his eyes.
Zhao Shan did it on purpose.
Jiang Yuhuang opened his mouth and Jiang Yuhuang closed his mouth, deliberately irritating him.
Yao Guang comforted himself in his heart.
He arranged for people to lead troops towards Mount Sigu. When Mount Sigu is captured and the channel connecting Chang'an and Tongguan is cut off, how domineering will Zhao Shan be?
Yao Guang regained his composure and said, "Zhao Shan, where is Yao Gan? I want to see him."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Come here, bring Yao Qian over."
The soldiers went to take action, and after a while Yao Gan came over in embarrassment. During the days of imprisonment, Yao Gan was not given enough food or clothing to keep him warm, and he was threatened from time to time. He was showing signs of going crazy.
Zhao Shan waved and ordered: "Yao Qian's nephew, take two steps to show Emperor Liang. Although you have a few injuries on the battlefield, you have no missing arms or legs. You are still well packed."
Yao Qian walked out with his back bent, saw Yao Guang and said: "Father, save me!"
He looked terrified and almost going crazy.
He was not packed well. Although the ribs he broke on the battlefield were bandaged and treated, he kept coughing and his body did not recover.
Yao Guang glared at Yao Qian with hatred, and asked: "Zhao Shan, what conditions do you want to release Yao Qian?"
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "I was joking when I told you about 8,000 war horses. To be more formal, you can give me 6,000 war horses, 100,000 taels of gold, and 500,000 taels of silver. I will release Yao Qian immediately."
"You think beautifully!"
Yao Guang scolded him directly.
Six thousand war horses, as well as one hundred thousand taels of gold and five hundred thousand taels of silver, it was like a lion's mouth. Yao Guang paid countless money and horses to buy Yongshan Iron Mine. He cannot afford the loss if he pays again.
Yao Guang said angrily: "Zhao Shan, if you can kill Yao Qian, I can't pay such a high price."
Zhao Shan looked at the panicked Yao Qian and joked: "Eldest nephew, did you hear that your father is unwilling to save you?"
Yao Gan looked at Yao Guang longingly and said loudly: "Father, save me!"
"Shut up!"
Yao Guangda scolded: "How can I waste countless money and war horses just because of you? I will not harm Great Liang just because of you."
Yao Gan was about to cry.
He really wanted to go back and didn't want to stay in Zhao Shan's camp.
Zhao Shan looked calm and continued: "Emperor Liang, I have captured more than 14,000 Xiliang soldiers. Don't you want these people anymore? If you don't want them, I will be happy to publicize them."
"I will tell the soldiers of Xiliang that Emperor Liang is unwilling to redeem them. I will also arrange for people to spread the news in Xiliang, saying that Emperor Liang would rather spend money to repair the palace and buy women than redeem them."
Yao Guang clenched his fists and felt even more angry. Zhao Shan was really insidious.
He actually used soldiers to threaten him.
If there is news in Xiliang that he does not want soldiers, public opinion will be in an uproar and the hearts of the Xiliang soldiers will be disturbed. He can ignore Yao Qian, but he cannot ignore the soldiers of Xiliang.
Yao Guang loosened his clenched fists, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Emperor Zhao, everything can be discussed."
Zhao Shandao: "Can we really talk?"
Yao Guang affirmed: "We can talk."
Zhao Shan said: "I am not aggressive in my life, I don't like disputes, and I don't like threatening people. Don't worry, Prince Liang, what you just said is definitely not a threat. In fact, even if you refuse to negotiate, I will not spread the news."
Yao Guang was so angry that his tooth ached, Zhao Shan was so shameless.
How shameless!
He has read countless people and has never seen such a shameless person.
Yao Guang was on the verge of losing control of his rage at any time, but he just thought that Sigu Shan was still taking action and he had to stabilize Zhao Shan first.
Yao Guang said: "Zhao Shan, if you release Yao Qian, Jiang Yuhuang, and all the captured soldiers, I agree to your terms."
Zhao Shan shook his head and said: "Yuhuang is my concubine. They say that one day is a hundred days of kindness. Yuhuang and I have been married for so many days. We are already in love. How can we abandon her? It is impossible to release Jiang Yuhuang."
Yao Guang knew that he would not get any benefit, so he said: "In that case, let me think about it for two days and discuss it with the people below."
Zhao Shan said: "Emperor Liang wants to talk again in two days, of course. Let me remind you that all your delays and thoughts are destined to be in vain. If you don't agree to the conditions today, if you come to negotiate next time, it won't be six thousand war horses." ”
Yao Guang snorted and led the people away.
Yao Guang's army camped in a wide place in the distance. The camp was carefully arranged and heavily guarded.
Yao Guang was resting in the camp. At night, he saw the bright moonlight in the sky and the night was not dark. He suddenly had the idea of sending soldiers to attack Zhao Shan's camp.
If Zhao Shan's camp is broken and Zhao Shan is successfully captured, the decline can be reversed.
But Yao Guang's idea of sending troops arose, and he hesitated for a moment. Zhao Shan is not an ordinary person. Even Jiang Yuhuang was defeated by Zhao Shan. Moreover, Zhao Shan is cunning and must be on guard, making it difficult for him to succeed in a surprise attack.
In the end, Yao Guang suppressed all his thoughts and waited quietly.
Fortunately, Yao Guang came with many young and beautiful singers on his way, so he could drink and watch the singers dance, so his life was not lonely.
A day and a half later, when Yao Guang was drunk, a soldier hurried back and reported: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Our army going to Sigu Mountain was ambushed and almost all of them were wiped out."
brush!
Yao Guang's expression completely changed.
After the Yongshan Iron Mine incident, he had lost money to Jiang Yuhuang, and now he had lost his troops and generals in the defeat at Sigu Mountain. The loss was too great.
Yao Guang suddenly remembered Zhao Shan's words, saying that all his thoughts were in vain. If he did not agree to the conditions of 6,000 war horses, the negotiation would be different. Zhao Shan had obviously expected it.
Yao Guang suddenly felt chills all over his body and his hair stood on end. What kind of monster did he encounter?
