Without any explanation, Guo Wei immediately understood the identity of the young man in front of him.

Wu Xinjun of Zhao State, the famous No. 1 general in the world - Zhao Kuo! Although he had known Zhao Kuo's age for a long time, Guo Wei still felt a little emotion in his heart at this moment.

This Wu Xinjun... is really too young! He has become the number one general in the world at such a young age, and it is simply not a way out for other generals of this era to survive.

Guo Wei took a deep breath and saluted Zhao Kuo solemnly: "Old Guo Wei, I have met Wu Xinjun."

Zhao Kuo stood up with a smile and bowed to Guo Wei: "Why should you be so polite to Guo?

Please sit down.”

At this moment, Guo Wei suddenly noticed a detail.

Zhao Kuo did not sit in the main seat of the lobby, but sat in the most honorable guest seat on the right side of the main seat.

Guo Wei hesitated for a moment, but did not sit in the main seat that originally belonged to him, but sat directly opposite Zhao Kuo, that is, the guest seat on the left side of the main seat.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Kuo showed a smile on his face and waved: "Come on, come to the banquet and cleanse Guo Xiang!"

Zhao Kuo gave the order, and a maid immediately served delicious food.

What surprised Guo Wei a little, or was speechless was that these maids were from the Guo Mansion itself, and even the dishes could be seen as being made by the chef of the Guo Mansion in Wuyang City.

Zhao Kuo raised his wine name and smiled and said, "It's actually Guo Xiang's territory. This marquis is also considered to be a gift for Buddha by borrowing flowers. Please don't blame Guo Xiang."

Guo Wei smiled bitterly and raised his wine name: "I will not hide it from Wu Xinjun. The reason why I am surprised is mainly because... this mansion can be preserved so well."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "What, does Guo Xiang think this marquis is a robber?"

Guo Wei smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, are you Zhao State not a robber?

If it is really not true, why has Zhao been invading other countries everywhere during this period?

But on the surface, what Guo Wei said was: "Wu Xinjun misunderstood. This marquis and the king have always admired Wu Xinjun very much, and they absolutely have no such view."

The two of them chatted while having a drink. Although the atmosphere was a little weird, overall it was quite harmonious.

After a while, Zhao Kuo put down his wine glass with a bang and his face began to become serious.

"Suang Guo, as the saying goes, first be polite and then army.

You came here as a guest, and I have also been entertained. So next we should have a good discussion on the conditions between you and me, right?"

Guo Wei's heart was shocked and he thought that what was coming was indeed coming.

Guo Wei also put down his wine glass and bowed his hands and said seriously: "Your Majesty Wu Xin said it's okay. I will listen with great attention on behalf of the King and Da Yan."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "This time, the Empress Dowager has fully entrusts the power of the entire negotiation to this marquis, so the conditions proposed by this marquis are the final conditions of the Great Zhao. Should Guo Xiang understand this?"

Guo Wei nodded to express his understanding.

Zhao Kuo continued: "Then let's talk about the conditions of the Great Zhao."

"First of all, Yan State must stop any foreign sale of ginseng."

"Secondly, Yan State must pay 50 million yuan to Da Zhao every year. As Yan State sells ginseng in China, it will lead to compensation for the loss of sales of Da Zhao ginseng in Yan State."

"Then, Yan State must ced all the territory south of Yishui, including Wuyang City, to Da Zhao."

"If all these conditions are met, then Da Zhao can have a ceasefire with your Yan State."

Every time Zhao Kuo said something, Guo Wei's face turned pale. When Zhao Kuo finished all the conditions, there was no trace of blood on Guo Wei's face.

The lobby was quiet for a long time.

Finally, Guo Wei spoke again: "Wu Xinjun, these conditions of your country... are too harsh, right?"

Of course, each has its own bottom line when negotiating.

Before coming, the monarch and ministers of Yan had already discussed the bottom line of Yan's country.

The bottom line that King Yan gave to Guo Wei was very simple. It would be okay to not have the ginseng industry. Anyway, after the Yan State recovered its national strength in a few years, it would be secretly done. No one can keep the contracts these days for the rest of his life.

Losing money is not a problem. Although Yan State is not a very wealthy country, it is still possible to lose some money.

Only in terms of cede territory, the King of Yan was the most unacceptable.

In the view of the King of Yan, the less territory ceded by Yan State, the better, especially Wuyang City, the lower capital of Yan State, must be taken back from Zhao State.

Without Wuyang City, the entire southern part of Yan State not only saw a sharp decline in population, but also the defense line against Zhao State in the south will also fall into a completely unsustainable situation.

Once Wuyang falls into the hands of Zhao, Zhao will be able to use Wuyang City as a base to attack Yan State in the future, and threaten the Jidu of Yan State in minutes! This is obviously something that the king of Yan, and even the entire king and minister of Yan State cannot accept.

Listening to Guo Wei's objection, Zhao Kuo did not get angry, but instead laughed happily.

"Secret Guo, of course, I know that your Yan State cannot accept this plan."

Hearing Zhao Kuo's words and such statements, Guo Wei felt relieved and felt that Zhao Kuo should be giving a step.

Think about it, isn’t negotiations just like bargaining and asking for a lot of money?

Guo Wei hurriedly said: "What Wu Xinjun said is very true. Of course, our Dayan did not say that we did not admit defeat, nor did we say that we could not cede land and pay compensation. But these must be a reasonable number. Is Wu Xinjun right?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "My husband said--No."

Guo Wei was stunned and his smile froze on his face.

Zhao Kuo sighed and looked at Guo Wei with a helpless expression: "Secret Guo, Guo, it seems that the king of your Yan State really hasn't figured out the situation! This marquis asks you, if this marquis directly leads his army to the hinterland of Yan State and threatens the Jidu of Yan State, do you think the King of Yan State has any solution?"

Guo Wei took a deep breath and said, "What does Wu Xinjun mean?"

The smile on Zhao Kuo's face completely disappeared, and he looked at Guo Wei in front of him and said coldly: "The meaning of this marquis is very simple, that is, your Yan State is not qualified to bargain with me now! Do you understand?

If you go down here with this Hou, I will send troops to take Jidu tomorrow. Then I will see if your King Yan is really so stubborn!"

Guo Wei looked at Zhao Kuo, and the shock in his heart was unspeakable.

Although he had already made mental preparations, Guo Wei discovered that Wu Xinjun's toughness was really beyond Guo Wei's expectations! What should I do?
Chapter completed!
