Chapter 299

Chapter 299

This and every clause in the book were all biased towards Northern Yan, so much that those who don't know may think that their Daqi was not a victor but a loser!

Gu Jing's complexion was even worse, he could naturally see that his imperial father was extremely dissatisfied with this agreement.

However, when he drew up this agreement, he wasn't informed that Gu Zezhi and Yu Fuyun would cooperate in secret, more so, he didn't know that Yu Fuyun would lead the army to take the three cities of Northern Yan!!

Gu Zezhi deliberately and clearly hid it from him on purpose, wanting to see him embarrass himself in front of his imperial father, right?

And...

Gu Jing doesn't really agree with Gu Zezhi's decision and instead blamed him.

In his view, friendship between the two countries was the long-term solution.

But this Gu Zezhi actually wants to start another war again for the sake of momentum, lucky for him this time it went well and Yu Fuyun was able to conquer the Beimeng, Tuli, and Lunta ity, but what if luck wasn't on his side?!

Wouldn't it unnecessarily plunge the people of Daqi into war again!

Gu Jing took two deep breaths to calm down a little and bowed to the emperor as he said solemnly, "Father, the friendship between the two countries is the blessing of the people, and the ministers think that peace is the most important thing. The matter of peace can be discussed again."

Gu Jing felt that both sides could each take a step back, for instance, if the two cities were returned to Northern Yan, then the Northern Yan would definitely remember the kindness of Daqi, and with this, the two countries could coexist peacefully in the future.

The emperor: "..."

The emperor's eyes flickered as he slowly grasped the jade ring on his finger before looking at Gu Zhen once again and asked, "Zhen'er what do you think?"

Gu Jing couldn't believe his ears. His father actually asked Gu Zhen, who was only six years old, how the hell would he even know?!

He felt as if he had been slapped in the face in front of the crowd.

During this period, Gu Zhen often followed Gu Zezhi and watched and listened to some information. And with a serious tone, he said, "Imperial Father, Daqi is the victorious country."

The emperor stroked his beard, and his handsome face became more radiant, and as he touched his ring again, he said, "That's right."

"If you want to talk about peace, that's fine," said the emperor with a smile. "Zezhi, rewrite the peace agreement."

Gu Zezhi stood up, bowed to accept his orders, and then calmly offered his conditions.

"The three cities, Beiming, Tuli, and Lunta City belong to Daqi from now on."

"Draw Lunta River and Lunta Grassland in Daqi."

"Indemnify the Daqi with 500,000 taels of gold, 5 million taels of silver, and 3,000 strong and healthy Turkic horses, including 2,000 mares."

"...."

When Yelu Luan and the two envoys of the Northern Yan heard this, their faces became uglier every second and their hearts were bleeding as if a knife was gouging it out. This was more atrocious than the agreement Gu Zezhi talked with them last time.

It was simply opening a lion's mouth.

Gu Jing's face, on the other hand, turned blue and white, and felt that Gu Zezhi was deliberately stirring up the situation and insisting to let the peace talks between the two countries fail. However, his father seemed to be bewitched by him, and he seemed to appreciate him very much instead.

It was not easy to wait until Gu Zezhi finished, Yelu Luan's complexion by this time has changed several times to blue, purple, and red, alternately.

He said in a stiff voice, "No!"

Absolutely not!

If he accepts such peace terms, when he returns to Northern Yan, what awaits him would be the thunderous wrath of his imperial father and the taunts of his brothers, and the throne of Yan would be completely out of his reach!

"Then let's go to war!" Gu Zezhi smiled calmly and indifferently.

His tone was so casual as if he regarded the war between the two countries as a small fight between two children.

"......" Yelu Luan's complexion was even more uglier.

He didn't dare to answer this question. He was well aware of the situation of their military power at the moment, many and most of their soldiers were seriously injured, and they were unable to go to war again in a few years.

That's why he wanted to take advantage of the horse plague to destroy the war horses in Northern Xinjiang and take down Fufeng City.

When the time comes, even if Daqi suffers a great loss, he would not dare to act recklessly again...

But hearing Gu Zezhi's tone now, does Daqi still have spare manpower?

Yelu Luan's mind was numb for a moment, and become increasingly confused.

He could not help but look at Gu Zezhi again who was standing with his hands down and his body stood tall as rays of sunlight shone through the shade of the trees outside the window and cast a mottled light and shadow on his body as if coating him with a faint layer of halo, looking more elegant.

There was a smile on the corner of Gu Zezhi's lips as he stands there quietly and carried an aura of confidence that made people dare not underestimate him.

Yu Fuyun was not in Northern Xinjiang, and Northern Yan has lost three cities, so does Daqi have any backup...

Just thinking about it made Yelu Luan feel as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, making him gasp for breath.

However, Yelu Luan never showed timidity on his face, and with his head held high he said, "If you want to go to war, I, the warrior of Dayan will not be afraid!"

Gu Zezhi smiled but said nothing, and didn't even raise his eyebrows.
