Yuan Ruan was shocked by the news.

Chen Guo voted now? !

She watched quietly as the young envoy from the State of Chen walked in step by step, with a firm expression and strong eyes despite his sadness. Then she said that the State of Chen was willing to pay the ransom to redeem the three cities.

She watched as the Minister of War jumped out, glared at the envoy from the State of Chen angrily, spoke rudely, and kept listing how many soldiers and horses the State of Xia had lost on the battlefield, demanding that the State of Chen must increase the compensation.

The Minister of War pressed forward step by step, and the envoy Chen Guolai was defeated step by step, and even retreated and leaned against the pillar next to him.

Then the prince came out and said some words to ease the situation. Although his tone was gentle, his attitude did not soften at all.

This was completely different from the negotiations between the Minister of Rites and the Chen State delegation. At that time, no matter how loudly they shouted, they were just pulling, testing, and weighing the pros and cons. But here, Xia State was strong, strong and neat, leaving Chen State speechless.

Yuanruan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's only been a few months!

Yuanruan: [I didn’t expect to see such a scene. ]

The system also sighed: [Yes, there is also a wall-dong. Those who read the article will come just by smelling it. ]

Courtiers:? ? ?

What is wall-dong?

What's that smell?! There's no smell at all.

Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Ah? Tong'er, why do you say that? ]

System: [Ahahaha, I just thought of something similar. The defeated country sent its young and intelligent official to beg for peace, and then he was humiliated by the enemy's senior officials. Similarly, the enemy's prince also stood up for him and said a word or two, but it was useless. The young official still failed to successfully obtain the book on friendship between the two countries. After a few days, the enemy's senior officials found the young official of the defeated country...]

Many court officials subconsciously looked towards the Minister of War: This prototype is obvious! Is the system trying to give some warning?

The Minister of War, whose mind was only on fighting, thought thoughtfully: I guess it will take threats and benefits.

System continues: [An important official of the enemy country pushed the man into a corner and said, "You don't want your country to be destroyed, come and serve me."]

The courtiers almost stumbled.

The emperor and the prince's eyes twitched slightly: ...

——I knew it, there is nothing serious here in the system.

The Minister of War was almost nauseated and took a big step back.

What on earth are the people who write storybooks for the system thinking? Let's not talk about men and women first, just talk about that aspect. How can two pounds of meat on the body compare to the fun of "eating the flesh of the dead when hungry and drinking the blood of the Huns when thirsty" on the battlefield?

Yuanruan's mouth twitched slightly: [Tong'er, have you read any love-hate stories recently?! Be restrained.]

System: [Okay! ]

At this time, the visitors from the State of Chen asked again when the State of Xia was willing to withdraw its troops.

The emperor directly asked the Minister of War to answer.

The Minister of War seemed to be possessed by the Minister of Revenue.

All mouthful of money.

They almost kept in mind the phrase "When to pay, when to withdraw the troops; the more money you pay, the more troops you will withdraw."

It was also the first time that Yuan Ruan discovered that the Minister of Revenue was not rolling his eyes when the Minister of War was speaking, but nodding in agreement.

The Minister of Revenue would occasionally even add a few words to help the Minister of War. For example, he would say that the Minister of War's compensation was missing a zero.

Yuan Ruan saw that the two men were singing the same tune and making the other side retreat step by step.

The scene is very interesting.

It seemed that the two ministers were about to achieve complete victory in the verbal battle.

Yuanruan retracted his gaze and said to the system: [Tong'er, I am actually a little confused as to why Chen Guo fell to his knees.]

System: [What is sliding and kneeling? ]

Yuan Ruan: [Look, my brother put the blame on the Chen State delegation, but the Chen State just tolerated it? Obediently paid compensation? And ceded land? Isn't this too hasty? Don't they even struggle? ]

System: [Because Xiaguo’s fist is really big! Between countries, the bigger the fist, the more powerful it is! Moreover, with you and your brother here, your combined punches are also the main reason why Chenguo surrendered this time.]

Some people who knew the inside story smiled mysteriously.

Yuanruan looked a little confused: [Ah? What does this have to do with me? ]

System: [Aruan, ancient people were very superstitious! Let me put it this way, the Xia army is powerful, and the generals of the Xia are indeed very luxurious, but if it weren't for the "immortality" miracle displayed by your lucky bag, they would not have been able to defeat the Xiongnu and Chen in a few months. ]

The emperor nodded slightly.

The prince felt proud: She is worthy of being my ninth sister.

The court officials agreed that there were more than just the Xiongnu nomadic people on the grassland. But because of the blessing of the imperial master, very few people dared to cooperate with the Xiongnu to provoke the Xia Kingdom. Even the Xiongnu's own tribal alliance, the pro-Xia Xiongnu second prince, was able to successfully take away a large number of tribes so early, all because of the existence of the little imperial master.

Yuanruan was a little embarrassed: [Ahem, this is just a symbolic meaning. Okay, let's talk about my role. ]

The system wanted to say that it had more than just symbolic meaning! But seeing Yuanruan's face slightly flushed, the system changed the subject.

System: [Your brother never shows his emotions, is full of tricks, and is extremely cunning...]

emperor:……

The court officials' eyes began to blankly turn away.

Yuanruan: [Stop, stop, stop! Tonger, please say something nice. ]

System: [Well, alright. It's just unfathomable. Your brother has done too many tricks, and directly cut off the way for Chen to ask Chu for help. Chen dare not ask Chu for help, and can't beat Xia. What else can it do except slide down and kneel down. ]

Yuanruan was a little curious: [How did you do it, brother? ]

System: [Because your brother is cunning... ahem. For example, your brother asked Prime Minister Li to send a large number of troops into Chu under the pretext of looking for his daughter, so that Chu would misunderstand that Xia was sending troops to Chen. "The real purpose was not to send troops to Chen." In fact, the sword was aimed at the capital of Chu, so Chu was a little nervous and did not want to send troops far away from the capital, so naturally it could not help Chen send troops. ]

Prime Minister Li seemed to be thinking: No wonder His Majesty ordered me to circle around the capital and draw maps after I go to Chu State, and also ordered him to strengthen the letters sent to the Grand Master of Chu State from the palace. It turns out it was for this.

The system continued: [Not only did your brother misunderstand Chu, he also made the Emperor of Chen misunderstand that Xia and Chu had long been secretly together and had formed an alliance. The Emperor of Chen naturally did not dare to ask for help from Chu, fearing that asking for help from the Chu army would be like inviting a wolf into the house, so the Emperor of Chen gave up asking for help.]

Yuan Ruan nodded, but her expression was still confused: [The Emperor of Chen and the Emperor of Chu are so innocent? Don't they doubt it? ]
