C2318 Beyond Authority

The Great Lu Dynasty couldn't be severely injured right now. If that happened, the other major powers wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

One should know that the current Great Lu Dynasty wasn't just facing an enemy like the Fengjue Country. Whether it was the Rebellion Force in the country or the other smaller powers in the surrounding countries... They were all eyeing the Great Lu Dynasty covetously. Once the Great Lu Dynasty was severely injured... They would never let go of this opportunity to loot the burning house.

Therefore, the current situation of the Great Lu Dynasty was very bad. This was also the reason why the Emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty was so anxious.

And because of this, Minister Wu actually didn't have much confidence when facing the emissary of the Fengjue Country. His own lack of strength naturally made him lack confidence.

"The envoy just said that you are here for peace talks. However, judging from the envoy's current attitude, it doesn't seem like he is here for peace talks." Minister Wu said, "Our Great Lu Dynasty is absolutely sincere, if the Fengjue Country is sincere as well. Then there is no need to go around in circles anymore. Our emperor has already said so. It's not like you can't agree to the conditions you proposed earlier. "

"The previous conditions? No, no, no. " The middle-aged envoy shook his head and said, "The previous conditions have been voided. When our army entered your city, those conditions have been abolished. If your Great Lu Dynasty is really sincere, then... You should understand this point. "

The words of the envoy didn't exceed Minister Wu's expectations. In fact, it didn't even exceed the expectations of the Great Lu Dynasty Emperor. When the Fengjue Country obtained a complete victory, naturally, they would make an even more excessive request. This situation was also within everyone's expectations.

In fact, the condition that the Fengjue Country proposed earlier had already caused the people of the Great Lu Dynasty to find it hard to accept. Otherwise, they wouldn't have placed their hopes on the war at the front line. It was all for the sake of winning a battle. And then... To gain more initiative at the negotiation table?

Unfortunately, they lost the bet, and not only did they not win at the front line, but also at the front line. In this way, they could only accept more harsh conditions from the people who accepted the Fengjue Country. Although the people of the Great Lu Dynasty were unwilling to accept it, they had no choice but to accept it.

"Although we, the Great Lu Dynasty, have lost, we still have the strength to fight back. Therefore, we hope that your country won't go too far with the conditions. If that happens, it won't do any good to both sides." Wu Yan said.

Wu Yan's meaning was very obvious. Their Great Lu Dynasty had tacitly agreed that the Fengjue Country could put forward even more excessive conditions. However, this' excessive 'condition also had a limit. Although the Great Lu Dynasty had lost, however, it wasn't as if they would agree to any of the conditions.

"That is only natural." The Fengjue Country's envoy said, "Our two countries have always had a friendly relationship. Why would I ask for too many conditions? The conditions we propose are all very normal. "

Although the Fengjue Country's envoy seemed to be easy to negotiate with, his words made Wu Yan frown. Because, he could tell that the other party was playing a word game. The conditions that the other party proposed, in their point of view... That was too much... However... In the other party's opinion... It must be very normal. In that case, the conditions they proposed... Naturally, it was within the normal range. The only difference was... It was just looking at this matter from the perspective of who.

"I wonder what conditions your country wants to use to withdraw its troops?" Wu Yan said, "Moreover, once the peace talks are successful, our king hopes that... At least for a period of time in the future, no conflict will break out between the two sides."

His Majesty, the emperor of Great Lu Dynasty, wanted to fight for a few years of peaceful development. Therefore, the reason he sent Wu Yan this time is not as simple as asking the army of Great Lu Dynasty to withdraw. They also wanted to make the other party promise not to invade their Great Lu Dynasty for a few years. As for the Great Lu Dynasty attacking the Fengjue Country, in both sides' point of view... At least, it was impossible for them to do so within a short period of time. Because of this, although both sides said that they didn't want to offend each other, in reality, they only asked the Fengjue Country not to attack the Great Lu Dynasty.

"Withdraw? This is naturally not a problem. It is also possible for both sides to maintain restraint." The middle-aged envoy said, "Of course, the prerequisite is that you agree to our conditions."

"What do you want?" Wu Yan said.

Didn't he come here to negotiate? Now that the other party was willing to propose a condition, he really wanted to hear about it. Furthermore, His Majesty the Emperor had given him a lot of authority. As long as the conditions of the Fengjue Country did not exceed the bottom line of the Emperor, then... Wu Yan could agree. He also believed that the bottom line of the Emperor was already low enough. Both sides would definitely be able to reach an agreement.

However, the middle-aged envoy seemed to have seen through Wu Yan's thoughts. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. However, in the hands of the attendant beside him... He took a scroll and said to Wu Yan, "The things we want are all inside. You can take a look for yourself."

Wu Yan took the scroll and wanted to see what their conditions were. However, he had only read half of it when he loudly said, "This is impossible!"

Although Wu Yan also hoped that this negotiation could be completed smoothly, he would also obtain a lot of benefits because of this. Moreover, his power would be further strengthened. At the same time, the Emperor also hoped that the negotiation would be successful.

However, the conditions proposed by the other party were too much. Not only did it increase by about ten times on the original basis. Furthermore... He also put forward some new conditions, which could be said to be... If these peace agreements were to be reached, the Great Lu Dynasty would definitely have to pay a painful price. That was something that Wu Yan and the Emperor were unwilling to agree to.

"Impossible?" The middle-aged messenger looked at the furious Wu Yan and maintained his smile. He said, "How can it be impossible? It's better for Minister Wu not to come to a conclusion so quickly. If you can't make a decision... You can go back and discuss it with your king. However... We can't take too long. The soldiers at the front line... But we can't wait too long. "

Threatening! Red Guo Guo's threat!

"No! Your conditions are too much. Our emperor will not agree to it." Wu Yan shook his head and said.

At this time, Lu Yizha who was standing next to him also said, "If you don't agree, we can use our own methods to get it. We can use men's methods!"

It was another threat!

Obviously, Lu Yizha and the middle-aged envoy's intentions were very obvious. If the Great Lu Dynasty did not agree, they would continue fighting. If he came here to snatch back what they wanted, he wouldn't need to care about whether the Great Lu Dynasty agreed or not.

After hearing Lu Yizha's words, Wu Yan was slightly silent. Right now, he was truly regretting it. Previously, he had asked someone to open the city gates and let the people of the Fengjue Country win so easily. At that time, he had never thought that Li Yuangu wouldn't even defend the city. He had abandoned the city and fled, which led to the defeat of the Great Lu Dynasty army. If Li Yuangu could hold on for a while, even if he lost in the end... He would make the people of the Fengjue Country pay the price. It wouldn't be easy for them to win. During the negotiations, they wouldn't be as arrogant as they were now. This was what Wu Yan had expected.

However, Wu Yan had clearly made a wrong judgment. He had overestimated Li Yuangu and the Great Lu Dynasty army. This had caused the situation to become passive. He wanted to get rid of Li Yuangu. He wanted to further consolidate his power, not destroy the Great Lu Dynasty. It wouldn't do him any good. The Great Lu Dynasty was gone. How could he still be an influential official?

Therefore, when faced with such an excessive condition like the Fengjue Country, he did not want to agree no matter what. Because, if that was the case, the Great Lu Dynasty would definitely bleed profusely. He did not know how long it would take to recover his Yuan Qi. Not to mention restoring it to its previous peak state, it would be extremely difficult.2

The people from the Fengjue Country also clearly saw this point. Hence... That was why they had raised such a condition in order to suppress the Great Lu Dynasty. It would cause the Great Lu Dynasty to be unable to recover from this setback. If that was the case, he would wait for a few years. When they attacked the Great Lu Dynasty again, it would be much easier.

However, if they didn't agree, the army of the Fengjue Country would continue to attack. In that case, the Great Lu Dynasty would be destroyed even faster.

Therefore, Wu Yan was now in a dilemma. He believed that after the Emperor knew about the condition of the Fengjue Country, he would have the same thoughts as him. Apart from being angry, he was also troubled and didn't know what to choose.

"How is it? Should Minister Wu go back and discuss with the king of your country?" The middle-aged envoy also knew about the conditions he had proposed. It's not something that can be decided by a minister. Therefore... In the end, the other party still had to nod his head in agreement.

The middle-aged envoy was also firm in his decision. Although these conditions were a little too much, however, the other party would still accept them in the end. As for the reason... Naturally, it was the army of 200,000 Fengjue Country soldiers that were still in the border cities. As long as they had them, here... The Fengjue Country army did not dare to refuse.

"Don't forget, there's still the matter of marriage." Lu Yizha reminded, "I want your Princess Qi! Ask your king to send her to me!"

Ever since he saw Princess Qi, Lu Yizha could not forget her. If it wasn't for the other two envoys feeling that they should dry the Great Lu Dynasty, Lu Yizha would have long wanted to negotiate with the people of the Great Lu Dynasty. He wanted them to agree to the marriage so that he could get Princess Qi involved sooner.

"I really need to go back and report this matter to the Emperor." Wu Yan said with an ugly expression. The other party's conditions... It had already far exceeded the authority given to him by His Majesty. He had no way to make a decision. Therefore, he had to go back and report this to the Emperor.

"As for the marriage, don't worry. The Emperor has already nodded. This is not a problem." Wu Yan continued.
