He ceded Henan and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

All the generals in the tent looked at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming touched the short beard under the Hubei and suddenly laughed: "The lives of King Zhou and more than 100,000 Zhou soldiers are hard to come by, so it is only worth Henan?"

The Ming generals in the tent burst into laughter.

Wu Sanfu looked at the ridicule of everyone, but was not angry, but lowered his posture, "I wonder how the Regent can let my lord go?"

He was so stumped by Zhao Ming.

It is impossible to let Wu Sangui go, it is definitely impossible. Even if it is released, it will be arrested in the future.

Zhao Ming originally wanted to encircle Wu Sangui at Guangwu Mountain, and then send troops to attack and destroy Zhou State.

Now Wu Sangui wants to cede land for peace. If the conditions are right, he will cut him a few good land and then take the opportunity to provoke the battle. It is not impossible to annex the Zhou State.

Which method to choose depends on which one is more beneficial to Zhao Ming and consumes the least.

That is, negotiations are asking for a lot of money to be paid locally.

Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, and said sharply: "The Gu King's Northern Expedition and Destroyed the Qing Dynasty. A place in Henan should have belonged to Gu, but Wu Sangui took the opportunity to occupy it. This matter is very shameless. A place in Henan should have been handed over to Gu, and Wu Sangui also has the nerve to treat it as a condition."

Seeing that Wu Sanfu did not refute, Zhao Ming lowered his head and said in a slower tone: "But it is not impossible for Wu Sangui to let him go alone."

"Please ask the Regent to say it clearly." Wu Sanfu said in surprise.

Zhao Ming stood up and walked to the map, "Unless Wu Sangui is willing to return to Henan and cede Sichuan and Shanxi, he will be killed!"

If Zhou State could give up Henan, Shanxi, and Sichuan, it wouldn't matter if Wu Sangui was let go back.

Because after the Zhou State lost these three places, only Guanlong was left, how could it compete with the Ming Dynasty? At that time, Zhao Ming would go to Guanlong, and Wu Sangui would not have the power to fight at all.

Compared with Wu Sangui and 100,000 remaining soldiers, Zhao Ming was willing to make this deal, but Wu Sangui obviously would not agree to such conditions.

"Working with Qin is still holding firewood to put out fires. The fire cannot be exhausted, and the fire cannot be extinguished." Everyone knows the lessons of the six kingdoms, and Wu Sangui naturally understands them.

For thousands of years, everything is good, and even the strategies that can be used by predecessors have been used almost by their predecessors, so that when later generations spoke, they knew what the other party wanted to mess with.

This made Zhao Ming not have any hope for his proposal.

Who knew that Wu Sanfu said, "If you ceded the land of the three provinces, you can't make the decision. You need to go back and ask the emperor for advice."

Zhao Ming originally thought that Wu Sanfu would directly reject such harsh conditions, but he didn't expect that he didn't refuse, but asked for instructions, which means that it is not impossible to talk about.

Zhao Ming frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and waved his hand, "Okay, go back and ask Wu Sangui first, the Lone King will only give him one day to consider."

Wu Sanfu bowed to Zhao Ming and hurriedly left the tent.

Zhao Ming looked at the people in the tent and couldn't help asking, "What do you think?"

Everyone was talking for a while, and Zhang Jiayu said, "In order to survive, Wu Sangui might ask for peace from His Highness, but it is unlikely that the cedes of the three provinces. After all, although the Zhou army was defeated, it was not without the power of a battle. Now Wu Sangui defended Guangwu Mountain, as long as Jiang Xiang and Sun Kewang lead troops, there is still hope to break through the siege. In contrast, if the cedes of the three provinces, the Zhou Kingdom will completely lose the power of a battle and become a fish."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly when he heard the words, recognizing Zhang Jiayu's judgment.

Now for Zhao Ming, if the conditions given by Wu Sangui satisfy him, he could consider letting him go temporarily, but according to common sense, Wu Sangui would definitely not agree to the conditions that Zhao Ming wanted.

Unless Wu Sangui would naively think that Zhao Ming would let him go after Zhou State ceded land, but Wu Sangui would definitely know that this was impossible.

Seeing that Zhao Ming did not speak, Zhang Jiayu couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Your Highness, will the resolution just now continue to be implemented?"

Zhao Ming came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Continue to implement it! Send people to meet Jiang Xiang and Sun Kewang, and the preparations for attacking the mountain cannot be stopped."

Zhang Jiayu and others immediately bowed and stepped back out of the tent, leaving Zhao Ming to ponder in the tent.

The next day, the Ming army continued to dig trenches at the foot of the mountain and prepared to attack the mountain, while the Zhou army on the mountain had no movement.

When it was dark, Zhao Ming, Zhang Jiayu and others stood by the camp and looked up at Guangwu Mountain.

Zhao Ming smiled self-deprecatingly: "It seems that Wu Sangui is unacceptable to the conditions of the Lone King."

Zhang Jiayu said: "If Wu Sangui is willing to accept the cedes of the three provinces, I will doubt it."

"Oh?" Zhao Ming responded in confusion.

At this time, Wang Shuang walked over quickly, "Your Highness, Wu Sanfu has gone down the mountain."

Zhao Ming and Zhang Jiayu were both quite surprised. He originally thought that Wu Sangui would not talk about it after hearing Zhao Ming's conditions.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Wu Sangui had not sent anyone down yet. It was estimated that Wu Sangui had already been prepared to stand firm and wait for help. Unexpectedly, Wu Sanfu actually went down the mountain.

When Zhao Ming heard the words, he walked towards the big tent and ordered: "Take him to see the orphan!"

Soon, Zhao Ming returned to the tent and sat upright on the throne. Wu Sanfu came in and paid a visit.

Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Let's get straight to the point! How do Wu Sangui reply?"

Wu Sanfu whispered: "Regent, after my lord considered it, I only agreed to return the land of Henan and Shanxi. As for Sichuan, I hope to return it to the court after Guanlong is restored."

Zhao Ming raised his brow and frowned, "Wu Sangui is so generous to others!"

Wu Sanfu explained: "Regent, Guanlong has been war-torn for a long time and the local area has not yet been restored. If you cede the three provinces at once, there will definitely be a famine in Guanzhong. So I hope the Regent can allow us to keep Sichuan for the time being and will definitely return it to the court in three years."

Zhao Ming naturally refused and snorted coldly, "Why didn't he return Sichuan and Henan and keep Shanxi for the time being?"

Wu Sanfu said: "It's because Sichuan produces grain!"

Zhao Ming said, "Shanxi doesn't have much food, but if you have money, you can buy food. I think it's because Shanxi is Jiang Xiang's territory!"

Wu Sanfu was speechless for a moment, "This~" but then he immediately bowed and said, "This one cannot make the decision, but he will go back and report to the emperor immediately."

"You can't make the decision!" Zhao Ming frowned, feeling like he was being fooled, and said angrily: "Don't come next time, ask someone who can make the decision to talk. I don't have that much time to waste."

Wu Sanfu hurriedly accused him of the crime and said, "Your Majesty originally wanted to send the right prime minister, but the right prime minister did not dare to come, so he asked someone to come."

"Hong Chengchou?" Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "He is self-aware."

After saying that, Zhao Ming looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Wu Sangui that Henan and Sichuan will return it immediately, and Shanxi will return it in two years. This is the final condition. If you don't agree, you don't have to go down the mountain."

The next day, it was getting dark, and Zhao Ming stood outside the camp, waiting for Wu Sanfu to go down the mountain.

But after standing for a long time, Wu Sanfu did not come down.

This made Zhao Ming frown. Could it be that Wu Sangui refused the conditions, but he always felt something was wrong?

At this moment, Zhao Ming's face turned cold and he couldn't help but raise his head. Snowflakes floated in the sky. Zhao Ming's expression changed and he was furious, "No, come here!"
