Soon negotiations between the two countries were taking place in Fengcheng.
Normally, a military general like this would not sit at the negotiation table, but Lu Yun's identity is rather special. He is the general leading the expedition, and coupled with his high position and power, no one would object.
On the contrary, his right to speak is more important!
For the negotiating envoys of the Great Zhou, they didn't care. In the end, they still had to listen to Eunuch Lu.
As for the envoys of Shu, they understood even more clearly that the one who was controlling the outcome of their negotiation was the eunuch in front of them. It was this eunuch who had caused their Shu army to be defeated directly!
It's incredible how a eunuch can have such powerful strength. How did he do it?
In short, his strength forced everyone present to admit that he was really awesome!
"Ahem, today the two countries are negotiating."
"You guys should talk about it nicely too."
"What do you Shu Kingdom want?"
The Shu Kingdom's Shichen asked, shouldn't they be the Great Zhou who raised the issue first? However, since this matter was brought up, they had no choice but to go ahead with it.
"Well, our Shu Kingdom's request is very simple. We just hope that we can live in peace and friendship. To do such a treacherous act is really our Shu Kingdom, except for some treacherous ministers."
"It is our Shu Kingdom that is shortsighted. We hope that your envoy will be magnanimous and let us go, and return our general and our Shu Kingdom's army."
"After all, we all know that your country is tolerant and has not indiscriminately killed our Shu soldiers. We are very grateful for this. We are truly sorry for what happened this time."
"We only have this one request. Our group leader said we are willing to compensate you, whether it's money or people. Feel free to make any requests you may have.
As long as we can accept it, we can talk in a friendly manner. There is no need to hurt the relationship. After all, we are allies."
Lu Yun sneered at this moment and stated his request coldly.
"Actually, your conditions are nothing to me."
"The Great Zhou side is also very simple. The first thing is to give up the counties north of Fengcheng, the land we have already occupied!"
"From now on, it will belong to our Great Zhou. You must do this. After all, you were the ones who betrayed first, so you are in the wrong.
If we hadn't fought to the death, if we hadn't had the utmost courage, I'm afraid we would have been annihilated by your Shu Kingdom by now, you shameful bunch."
"Don't forget that it was your Shu Kingdom that asked us, the Great Zhou, to help you. Although we were the first to approach you, you didn't agree immediately, and we instead sent troops directly!"
"Do you think you can take back the land we have today with just your little money? Tell me!"
"I have another request, which is to find out which minister in the court is the mastermind behind this betrayal.
Bring his head to me, and we will consider the matter."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the negotiating envoys changed drastically. They had originally thought that they could talk slowly and properly.
Unexpectedly, this time, Lu Yun played such a big game, asking them for so many levels directly, and also wanted to kill the person behind the scenes. That means their prime minister would be killed. It was indeed an embarrassing request!
They were afraid that His Majesty would not agree easily, so they had no choice but to plead.
"Eunuch, would you please reconsider this? This request is truly too great. I'm afraid it's difficult for us to accept, not even for His Majesty."
"Our negotiations might collapse by then, and then all our efforts would be in vain. My Lord, you should put the overall situation first. After all, the Miao army is eyeing us covetously."
Lu Yun laughed out loud when he heard this and explained with disdain: "Is that really the case?"
"The Miao army is eyeing us covetously, but we, the Great Zhou, can still make a concession. Anyway, we will just consider our consciences eaten by dogs. From now on, our Great Zhou and your Shu Kingdom will be sworn enemies!"
"We can close the door and not fight you. You will see who the Miao Kingdom will point its spearhead at in the end, your Shu Kingdom or our Great Zhou."
"Do you think your Shu Kingdom can resist the Miao Kingdom?"
"Another thing, on the battlefield, you backstabbed your allies. You are the shameless ones. You are the ones who will suffer the consequences, not me. If you hadn't done so, would I have made such a request?"
"Hurry up and send a message to the King of Shu, asking him to think carefully about what to do about this matter, instead of making me wait so long.
The longer we wait, the more powerful the Miao Kingdom will become. Perhaps your Shu Kingdom will be in even greater danger. Don't think I'm exaggerating!"
"this……"
They hesitated at this moment and felt helpless. What was this?
Forget it, since they have made such a request, they just need to report it truthfully to the court and let His Majesty make the decision.
Anyway, they couldn't say anything, but they had to admit that Eunuch Lu was really powerful.
And he accurately grasped their pain points. The game between the two sides resulted in this result. Let's see who he will choose in the end.
Soon, the ministers and the emperor in the Shu Kingdom's court also received the news after learning about Lu Yun's unreasonable request.
Chen Mu was very emotional, he really had no other options.
I didn't expect their demands to be so excessive, and Prime Minister Zhang He said again.
"Your Majesty, my life is indeed of no importance and can be taken directly, but they actually want so many cities. Do they really think that our Shu Kingdom is a sucker?
Your Majesty, in my opinion, it would be best for us to unite with the Miao Kingdom and jointly attack the Great Zhou."
Chen Mu did hesitate at this moment. He really didn't expect that the Great Zhou would ask for so much. But after thinking carefully, he realized that they were indeed wrong in betraying their allies, and they were indeed angry this time.
The Prime Minister's life is indeed worthless, at least in his opinion, so it doesn't matter if he just offers it up.
To be honest, with such serious consequences this time, he, as the emperor, wanted to kill Zhang He directly. How could he make such a plan? It was simply a shame!
"I simply cannot bear to see you joining forces with a traitor like the Yao Kingdom. If that were the case, the people of Shu would definitely despise me as their king."
"Prime Minister, I know you're doing all this for the good of Shu, but have you ever thought about one thing? What will the people think?"
"What happened today was all because of us, and you can ask the people who they think is right and who is wrong."
"We did betray our allies, and we have already lost some of the people's support."
