In the more than two hundred years since the founding of the Great Li Kingdom, all sorts of things have happened, but there has never been a case of ceding territory to sue for peace.

The people of Dali can die in battle, die for their country, be defeated, or have their land taken away after being massacred.

But asking them to make peace is not an option.

What's the difference between this and offering up land and treasures willingly?

However, after carefully considering Liu Feng's plan, Han Qinghu felt that it made a lot of sense.

However, there is also a huge vulnerability.

He was a general of the Tiger Roar Army, but frankly speaking, he was not a formal general in the imperial court's general ranks. What made him think he could take back the lost cities?

Moreover, this was after he had quelled the rebellion of the Heaven and Earth Society in the north. What made him think he could resolve the Heaven and Earth Society's turmoil?

Could it be that he could completely revive this matter that left the entire court helpless with just the word "peace"?

Who does he think he is?

"This general of the Tiger Roar Army is incredibly arrogant."

Dissatisfaction flashed in Han Qinghu's eyes.

"Sister Huang, are you sure you didn't hear wrong?"

"Or perhaps I've been traveling all this way and misremembered?"

The emperor was no less shocked than his ministers.

He had considered negotiating peace, but he simply couldn't accept this outcome.

"Your Majesty, such a serious matter cannot be taken lightly. Linglong would never dare to be mistaken."

Linglong thought to herself.

I've already said it's inconvenient to say this in public, but you insisted I say it.

Now look what happened, he's made himself look bad.

"Your Majesty, a mere Tiger Roar Army general with only a few officers and a little over a thousand soldiers, how dare you boast so arrogantly, Your Majesty."

"That's alarmist."

"Your Majesty, ceding territory to sue for peace, where does that leave the face of our great nation?"

"Your Majesty, I request that Your Majesty dispatch an imperial envoy to escort Liu Feng back to the capital, behead him and exterminate his entire clan, and completely extinguish any hope of peace negotiations from the court and the public."

"Your Majesty, this old minister reiterates his opinion."

"Your Majesty, I agree."

That's it, the emperor is in deep trouble now, he's being held up by a group of ministers.
