After a while, Bawe walked in under the guidance of the sergeant.
The eyes of all the generals in the tent naturally focused on him, and they were all full of hostility.
Many people even put their hands on the hilt of their swords and stared at him coldly.
This scene was undoubtedly very scary. Bawei secretly swallowed his saliva and did not dare to look either way. Instead, he stepped forward nervously, put his hand on Xiao Yuan's chest, and saluted respectfully: "I am the internal affairs officer. Bawei, I have met His Majesty the Qin Emperor."
In terms of the ghost clan's political structure, the rank of its parliamentary internal affairs officer is not low, equivalent to the fifth-ranking figure in the entire country.
Xiao Yuan knew something about it. Based on the current situation, it was not surprising that the ghost clan sent a minister of this level to sue for peace. He said in a calm voice: "Your Excellency is here this time. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Bawe did not bring an interpreter, but he had no problem communicating in the Chinese dialect, and his attitude was very respectful: "Your Majesty, Emperor Qin, it is like this. In view of some previous conflicts between our country and the Central Plains, which led to this war, this point , we have deeply realized our mistakes, and I am here to apologize to you on behalf of His Majesty the King."
"Apologise?" Xiao Yuan smiled and sneered: "As you said, there is no right or wrong in war. Isn't this the philosophy you have always adhered to?"
Wei Qing couldn't help but continued: "Back then, when our emperor had not yet risen and the Central Plains Empire was weak, you entered the border again and again, creating hells on earth in many places. It can be said that you were full of evil deeds! Now, you cannot win my Great Qin Expedition. Now, I want to apologize! What did you do before!"
"This." Bawe said anxiously: "Why did the general say this? What happened in the past was caused by the main war factions such as Mokes and Laisen. They controlled the Congress. His Majesty the King was also forced by them to have those things. Wrong decision, I have always advocated peaceful coexistence with Great Qin, and this time I came here with absolute sincerity."
"Hmph! What a clever word!" Wei Qing sneered.
I am afraid that even a fool would not believe what Bawe said. He quickly looked at Xiao Yuan and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Qin, in order to show his sincerity in apologizing, our country will make due compensation for the war mistakes it made before. I only hope that you will Can we put aside our past grievances and make amends between the two countries so that all lives will not be ruined?"
"Life is in ruins?" Xiao Yuan said: "You demons invaded the Central Plains several times and massacred innocent people, leaving several counties covered with bones. Why didn't you say that life was in ruins!"
"Then, how can His Majesty the Emperor of Qin be willing to stop his troops?" Bawe became more and more anxious.
"Present the Ghost King's head first!" Xiao Yuan said neatly.
"This, how is this possible, His Majesty the Qin Emperor?"
Bawei still wanted to fight for something, but Xiao Yuan interrupted him directly: "Then there is no other way. If you don't offer this head, I will treat him in the same way as a human being, and let you and other demons Taste the horror of killing!"
These words are too intimidating.
Especially coming from Emperor Qin's mouth.
Bawe felt his heart skip a beat and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Emperor Qin, you can't do this. Our country is willing to pay a huge amount of gold and silver. As long as you are willing to withdraw, we can do anything."
"How much of that gold and silver were you plundered from the Central Plains?"
After Xiao Yuan said something lukewarm, he said: "Bawei, you can leave on your own. I don't even bother to kill your messenger. Go back and tell the Ghost King to wash his neck and wait."
Bawei's face had already become extremely ugly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Qin."
Xiao Yuan ignored him and waved directly.
The guard at the door understood, and immediately stepped inside, blocking in front of Bawe, and said in a cold voice: "Messenger please!"
Bawe had no choice but to salute again: "Dear His Majesty the Qin Emperor, I hope you can give our country a chance. I look forward to meeting you next time, so I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he paused unwillingly, and then left here in despair.
After he left, the generals of the Qin army began to speak impatiently.
"Your Majesty, why should we pay attention to this guy? Just kill them all!"
"That's right! How can those ghost tribesmen think of living in peace with us if they can still fight?"
"Why pay huge amounts of gold and silver? Just as His Majesty said, these properties were not stolen from us!"
"And that Bawi, that's nonsense! He said he came to apologize, but in fact he didn't mention a word about the demonic behavior of the ghost clan!"
The generals were all talking, somewhat filled with righteous indignation.
Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly to stop the situation and said: "We will definitely not agree to the ghost clan's request for peace. Our army's expedition is to completely eliminate foreign troubles. How can we give up halfway when the war reaches this level? "
"Generals, there is no need to be angry. This battle does not depend on the attitude of the ghost clan, but on our country."
"Your Majesty is wise——" All the generals raised their hands.
However, Wang Su stood up and said quietly: "Your Majesty, I suddenly have an idea. After the ghost king is eliminated, what should be done with the ghost clan's territory."
"If there is anything difficult to deal with, just burn it to the ground!" General You Qin said.
Wang Su shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
To be honest, there is no point in occupying the ghost tribe, and this place is not suitable for living in the Central Plains.
Xiao Yuandao: "What do you think?"
Wang Su thought for a while and said: "I think it is better to eradicate all the forces of the Ghost King first, and then support an obedient puppet to make this place a vassal state of my Great Qin."
"They still have the resources they should have here. If they can handle them properly, it will be a great benefit."
As soon as he spoke, several generals who only knew how to fight expressed their dissatisfaction.
Zhou Dingyan said succinctly and comprehensively: "The country should be destroyed!"
Wang Su glanced at him: "General Zhou, please be patient. This is the destruction of the country, even more terrible than the destruction of the country. We will clean up all the royal nobles of the ghost clan and support a king again. From now on, everything here will be the same as being destroyed. Our country takes the lead, but if this puppet disobeys, our country can replace it at any time."
"To put it simply, if the ghost clan wants to form an army in the future, it must obtain the consent of our country."
"In this way, all the troubles can be solved."
"And the reason for war is: to gain benefits for the country."
"The resources here cannot be wasted."
Having said this, Wang Su once again raised his hand to Xiao Yuanyi: "I think this is the best strategy to subdue his country. I hope your Majesty will consider it."
He followed Lou He and said, "I think it is feasible. This is the best policy."
Jia You also said: "This is indeed much better than burning, killing and looting. I also agree."
The ideas of the three counselors were obviously different from simple combat.
The generals looked at each other, and someone subconsciously asked: "Then shall we attack Yal City?"
"Of course we will fight!" Xiao Yuan said with a smile: "We will enter Ya'er City tomorrow. This matter can be discussed in this city."
