Chapter 724 Persuasion The wind and wine were spicy, so Will and Shangguan Xiu exchanged cups.
After a short time, both of them showed their drunken state, their faces turned red, and they talked more and more.
Shangguanxiu took advantage of his drunkenness and said with a smile: "Duke Pros" "Duke Shangguan is my friend, just call me Will."
"Haha, okay."
Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled and said: "Will, the two countries have been fighting for so long.
You are tired of fighting, and we are tired of fighting.
If we can negotiate a peace, I don't want to continue fighting this war. ” "Yes, this battle has indeed lasted too long."
Will felt the same and couldn't help but sigh.
Shangguan Xiu said slowly: "As long as Will can promote peace between the two countries, I can make a promise here.
Twenty percent of the tax revenue in the Nasikya region in the next ten years can be shared with Will."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Tang Ling and asked pleadingly: "Does your Majesty agree with my decision?"
Nasikya is rich in minerals, and the tax revenue of the entire region is not a small amount.
Even 20% of it is a huge sum of money, not to mention 20% of the tax revenue for ten consecutive years.
When Will heard this, his mouth opened wide.
He first looked at Shangguan Xiu with dull eyes, was stunned for a long time, and then quickly turned to look at Tang Ling.
Tang Ling laughed like a silver bell and said slowly: "It is up to Shangguan Aiqing to decide on Nasikya matters."
Baidu Yixia Hey, Yan, Brother, watch the chapters for free without pop-ups.
Shangguan Xiu took a picture of the table and said seriously: "Then, this matter is settled, what do you think of Will?"
Will was so moved that he almost shed tears.
He picked up the wine glass, stood up unsteadily, and said with emotion: "I cannot repay Duke Shangguan's affectionate friendship to me.
In the future, if Duke Shangguan needs me Just do what you are told to do your best.
I will drink this glass of wine first as a token of respect."
As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the full glass of wine in one gulp.
You can't win over a person like Will just by relying on personal relationships.
If you want him to truly stand on your side, you have to be willing to cut your flesh and give him real benefits.
Shangguan Xiu was never soft-hearted when asking for money, and when he decided to give someone a favor, he was also generous, the kind that would knock the person unconscious with money.
Will arrived at Fengying in the afternoon, and when he left, it was already midnight.
Sitting on the carriage returning to the city, he was full of joy and pride.
Who said that the Feng Army was unwilling to negotiate for peace, and who said that the Feng Army was determined to attack Goro?
As soon as he took action, he successfully negotiated the peace, and he also Became the emperor of Feng Kingdom and When Shangguan Xiu sat as a guest, he not only received courtesy from others, but what was even more valuable was that Shangguan Xiu also promised to give him 20% of Nasikya's tax revenue for ten years.
How much money would it cost to have food and clothing for him for the rest of his life?
Looking at the two young and beautiful Besa girls sitting next to him who were given to him by Shangguan Xiu, Will was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, hugging them from left to right, and burst out laughing from time to time.
Returning to Goro City, Will went directly to the palace without delay and asked to see Peter.
This time Peter was willing to see him.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the palace, he was invited in by the guards.
After the meeting, King Peter couldn't wait to ask: "Will, on this mission to Fengying, you can see that Shangguanxiu is gone.
What did Fengren say?"
"Brother Wang, during my visit to Fengying this time, I not only met Shangguan Xiu, but also the Emperor of Feng Kingdom."
"Why is the Emperor of the Feng Kingdom also in the Feng Army camp?"
Peter stood up from the throne involuntarily and looked at Will intently.
"Yes, Brother Wang, the Queen of the Feng Kingdom is in the Feng Army camp.
I saw it with my own eyes."
They also drank wine together and wanted to have a good talk.
Will shook his head and responded, and walked to the side unsteadily.
In front of the seat, the old god sat down on the ground.

The Feng Emperor was also in the Feng Army camp.
What did this mean?
The Feng Army was determined to capture Goro.
Thinking of this, Peter seemed to have been drained of his strength and fell back on the throne.
Seeing this, Will chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I will go out personally this time, how can I return without success?"
Peter's heart moved and he asked urgently: "Will, what did the Wind Emperor say?"
"Accept peace" "really" "Tsk, Brother Wang, can I still lie to you about such a big thing?"
"Then, the conditions for Feng Huang to accept the peace are" Will cleared his throat and told Peter the three conditions Shangguan Xiu offered in detail.
After hearing this, Peter slumped down on the throne like a deflated rubber ball, unable to recover for a long time.
Such harsh conditions are simply unacceptable to me.
Seeing Peter's pale face, dull eyes, and being speechless for a long time, Will smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I think these three conditions are completely acceptable to us."
"It's acceptable."
Peter frowned and looked at Will with eyes that looked like you were crazy.
"It sounds like these three conditions are very harsh and a great humiliation to our country, but to put it another way, it is different.
For example, the cession of Nasikya becomes the sale of Nasikya to the Feng Kingdom.
Another example is "The reason why the Feng Army is stationed in Mulun City is to help our country resist Du Ji's Ningnan people."
When Peter heard this, his heart suddenly moved.
Will sighed and said: "Brother Wang, for the sake of our Pulos family and the city-state of Bessa, we cannot let the Feng Kingdom capture Goro no matter what.
No matter how high the price is, we have to accept it, let alone , now the wind man just wants Nasikya, my land of Besa It's so big, it's just a Nasikya, it doesn't matter.
As for the wind people wanting to garrison in Mulun City, it's even less worth mentioning.
Mulun City is a city of Saier City State, and Saier City State has always been They don't know how to commend themselves, and they have many disagreements with our city-state of Besa, so it's just right for them to deal with the wind people."
When Will said this, he may have forgotten that it was all the people of the city-state of Sayer who fought desperately to drag the Feng Army into the Gabul area.
In the end, the main force of the Feng Army headed by Tang Ling was trapped in Sayer City. , almost annihilating the entire army and turning the entire war situation around.
After hearing this, Peter slowly stood up again, paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
It was not that he was reluctant to part with Nasikea, but he was worried about how the people in the country would criticize him if he ceded Nasikea.
He said quietly: "To seek peace, ceding territory will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction among the people, and will also cause those city-states and families who covet the throne to wait for opportunities to cause trouble."
Will said: "Brother Wang, didn't I say that we can't say it's a cession, we can only say it's a sale, and everyone in the wind also accepts this statement."
"How much does it cost?"
"One hundred million silver coins," Will said, "Nasikya is so far away, and now it has been reduced to ruins.
It is not cheap to sell it for 100 million silver coins."
"Feng people will agree" "I have already negotiated with Feng Ren.
The 100 million silver coins will be deducted from our country's compensation."
The conditions Shangguan Xiu proposed have now become the credit of Will's negotiation.
He was also laughing secretly in his heart.
Everyone thought that going to Fengying as an envoy was a hard job with a near-death life.
Who would have thought that this was actually a good job that could please both sides.
On the one hand, he could take credit from His Majesty, and on the other hand, he could still be in Fengren.
Ask for benefits over there.
He stood up and walked to Peter's side, and said meaningfully: "Brother Wang, my eldest brother, you are the king and the leader of our Pros family.
As a member of the Pros family, as your younger brother , you and I will always stand on the same ship.
If this ship sinks, I will also suffer disaster.
Do you think I can harm you?
Anyone can harm you, but I can't."
"I know that."
Peter rolled his eyes at him.

"The Feng people are willing to accept the peace negotiation and give up the attack on Goro.
This is a rare opportunity for our Pros family.
Our Pros family can still be a royal family, and the king brother can continue to sit on the throne, even if it is more difficult than this.
We have to accept conditions that are ten times or a hundred times harsher.”
Peter rubbed his chin, thoughtfully.
Will continued: "Brother Wang, don't think about it anymore.
Make up your mind quickly and sign the peace treaty with the Feng people.
If the delay is too long, once the Feng people regret it and attack Goro, Brother Wang will not only become a member of the family.
The sinners will become the sinners of the entire Besa Kingdom.
Our Pros family will never be able to recover and will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever."
Hearing this, Peter took a breath and his expression suddenly changed.
He turned to look at Will and asked: "Brother, Feng Ren proposed these three conditions."
"Yes, only these three conditions"
"Well tomorrow, I will discuss and discuss with the ministers at the royal court meeting."
"Brother Wang, you must stand firm and not waver.
Once Goro is captured, other ministers can surrender to Feng Ren and avoid death.
But the Pulos family cannot surrender and cannot avoid death.
Therefore, other ministers can oppose When negotiating peace, I can stand and talk without backache, but my Pros family cannot."
"I understand."
Peter nodded slowly, patted Will on the shoulder and said, "Will, thank you for your hard work on this trip to Fengying, and you really did not disappoint me."
Will smiled bitterly and said: "My king, my eldest brother, I am your brother.
In times of crisis, how can we brothers not be of the same mind?"
That's why Peter trusts Will.
They are brothers who are on the same ship.
No matter what happens, Will will definitely be on his side.
Peter has no doubt about this.
No matter how incompetent and useless Will is, at the critical moment, he is still there.
He will be entrusted with important tasks.
The next morning, Peter summoned ministers to discuss peace between the two countries.
During the meeting, Will proposed the conditions for Fengguo to negotiate peace.
Of course, he changed the cession of Nasikya to Feng Guo's willingness to purchase Nasikya for 100 million silver coins.
But even so, after hearing these three conditions, many ministers who accepted the peace talks were extremely dissatisfied.
Even Foreign Minister Colin Keaton shook his head repeatedly and said: "Fengguo's undeclared war against our country is an unjust war.
Now that we are negotiating for peace, how can we ask our country to cede territory and pay compensation?
This is too much."
The ministers and generals present nodded their heads, thinking that Colin Duo's words were reasonable.
Will sneered and said: "Earl Keaton, Feng Ren used 100 million silver coins to buy Nasikya, not to cede our country in vain."
"What's the difference?"
A Besa general stood up and said in a deep voice: "The so-called purchase only turned our country's compensation of 200 million silver coins into 100 million silver coins.
Why should our country accept such unreasonable conditions?"
"Just because the Feng army has already reached the city, if we don't accept the peace negotiation, the Feng people will attack Goro.
By then, we will all become the main culprits who caused the capital to be destroyed," Will said sternly.
When the Besa general heard this, his expression changed, he gritted his teeth and slowly sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Interior Minister Savron Affleck smiled slightly and said: "We can now accept Feng Ren's negotiation."
"What?"

Everyone present looked at Savron.
Savron has always been an unswerving militant, a die-hard who would rather fight to the death with Feng Ren than negotiate peace with Feng Ren.
Unexpectedly, when Feng Ren proposed such harsh conditions, he would accept them instead.
