After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Qi Minsong didn't want to redeem this idiot at all, because of this idiot's selfish desires, not only did the good alliance fall apart, but he also attempted to challenge Chu Jiang and wanted to capture him to gain merit.

It would have been fine if the person wasn't caught, but he was caught by the other party instead and used as a handle to blackmail them.

Qi Jianshu was originally a man of deep thoughts, and was quite good at both literary and military strategies.

He was somewhat confident about challenging Xi'an City this time. With the support of the Eighth Prince of the Great Zhou, Western Chu was still certain to win.

It was precisely because he was confident that Qi Jianshu asked for a fight, but not only did he fail to win, he was also restrained everywhere.

He accepted his defeat to Chu Jiang sincerely and had nothing to say, but he felt insulted to obey the orders of such an idiot.

The Fifth Prince is such a fool. He actually sent such a person who would only be a hindrance to the battlefield. Is he afraid that they will take over the city of Xi'an?

After several rounds of negotiations, the two parties were pulling each other, just like in a tug-of-war, you pull and I pull.

Based on Chu Xi's analysis, Tang Yuhuai asked for 30 million taels of silver, 800 war horses, and 500 dan of grain, and asked them to retreat to the river.

The first few of these requests could be barely agreed to, but the last one was the most difficult.

Even if the Fifth Prince were here, he would not dare to agree to this request easily.

In this battle, not only did the Great Zhou suffer heavy losses, but many soldiers of the Western Chu also died.

As a result, not only did they fail to capture the city of Xi'an, but they also lost gold, silver, treasures, and food.

Upon returning to Xijing, the Fifth Prince and his party would certainly be reprimanded and punished by the Emperor of Western Chu.

Generals such as Qi Minsong would be used as targets to take the blame.

Even for his own sake, Qi Minsong would never easily agree to the latter condition.

Tang Yuhuai was not surprised at this result at all, because Qi Bai and Rong Qingzhu had both analyzed it before.

They might be able to reluctantly agree to the first two, but they would definitely not agree to the last one.

What they need most now is not the withdrawal of troops, but silver and food.

The national treasury was empty. Even if Zhou Yichen was willing to support them and fight to the end with the coalition forces of the three countries of Western Chu, he could not come up with so much gold, silver and food.

In this situation, they could only find ways to get some money and food to reduce Zhou Yichen's burden.

Although the last one really embarrassed Qi Minsong, so they refused without thinking.

But in the next few negotiations, Tang Yuhuai pretended to be helpless and gave in, changing the last condition to a three-day truce.

Even if this condition is changed, it will still be a big problem for Xichu.

The most difficult items to raise were 500 dan of grain and war horses, both of which were precious strategic materials in wartime.

Among them, war horses are banned items that cannot be traded, and all countries have the strictest control over war horses.

Once war horses can be bought and sold freely, wouldn't it be easy for some uncontrollable chaos to arise?

Five hundred dan of grain, they could also send a message back to Xijing to tell the Fifth Prince to find a way to raise it...

But the number of war horses was neither too many nor too few, so they did not dare to make a deal easily and had to ask for the opinion of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince.

It took time for the message to be sent back and forth, and it was already the third day after their negotiations when Qi Minsong received the letter from the fifth prince.

In the letter, the Fifth Prince meant that it could be done and that people would be sent to escort the food over in the next few days. However, it was not easy to raise war horses, so Qi Minsong was asked to negotiate with the Great Zhou again to reduce the quantity to the lowest level.

Eight hundred is not a lot, but not a little either. For the Fifth Prince, this number is simply a huge loss!

Naturally, the Fifth Prince would not report these exchange conditions to the King of Western Chu.

Not only did the people he sent fail to achieve any merit, they were also captured alive by the enemy right after they arrived. He also had to endure a bunch of conditions such as "ceding land and paying compensation" before he could get them back.

Even if it was to redeem the Fifth Prince himself, the King of Western Chu could not help but feel distressed!

What's more, the one he got in return was a dandy young man who had no ability and only knew how to cause trouble, and this person was recommended by the Fifth Prince himself.

The Fifth Prince has to clean up this mess by himself, and he can't do it cleanly. If anyone from the Fourth Prince's party uses this as a handle to report him, the Fifth Prince's impression in the eyes of the King of Western Chu will only continue to drop.

The Fifth Prince agreed to the conditions, on the one hand because he did not want to give the Fourth Prince's party any handle on him, and on the other hand because he could not resist the pleas of his grandfather's family.

Although his cousin did cause him a lot of trouble this time, the reason why he was able to gain a foothold in Xijing and become more powerful than the fourth brother was because of the support of his grandfather.

If my cousin is just a complete idiot and a waste, just abandon him!

But his cousin has his uncle and grandfather behind him. If he dares to abandon his cousin, his grandfather's family will definitely be resentful of him.

By then, before he can take the throne, his own internal affairs will be in chaos.

The negotiations lasted nearly ten days before an agreement was finally reached, with 500 dan of grain, 700 war horses, and 10,000 taels of gold.

Based on the proportion of currency circulation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, ten thousand taels of gold today would be equivalent to hundreds of millions in modern times.

On the day of exchanging things and people, Tang Yuhuai and Chu Xi were in charge, and Qi Minsong and Qi Jianshu from the opposite side did not dare to play any tricks.

They had all been defeated by Chu Jiang before, and knew that even if they joined forces, they could not defeat Chu Jiang alone.

If that's the case, there's nothing to do.

This will prevent Chu Jiang and his men from using you as an excuse to rob you and then ask for a higher price.

Tang Yuhuai specially checked the condition of the war horses to prevent Qi Minsong and others from using some old horses as war horses.

People were also sent to look at the gold, and the grain was checked even more carefully.

Only Chu Xi sat high on the horse's back without moving, his fingers placed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, the smile on the corner of his lips unchanged.

There was only one purpose for her action, which was to intimidate Qi Minsong and others on the opposite side and tell them not to try to play any tricks.

As long as they dare to move, she will never show mercy and will definitely draw the sword.

After checking everything one by one, Tang Yuhuai turned around and nodded slightly to Chu Xi.

This action has only one meaning - there is nothing wrong with the item.

Chu Xi, "Let him go."

Qi Jianshu looked at the person who was released with extremely hot eyes. If you didn't know, you would think that this person was their enemy.

The man who was released rolled and crawled, looking terrified that Chu Xi and the others would go back on their word and capture him again.

Qi Jianshu moved his fingers slightly, and the Western Chu soldiers standing on both sides seemed to have received some instructions. They gripped the gun barrels tightly with their fingers, looking ready to take action.

Tang Yuhuai raised his eyebrows, and there was an ability to make people angry to death when he spoke, and there was a vigorous and optimistic look between his eyebrows.

"Are you planning to kill yourself?"

Chu Xi chuckled, "General Qi, the money and goods are settled. I hope your people don't try to commit suicide, otherwise I don't mind arresting a few more people! I don't think the Fifth Prince has that much wealth to lose, right?"

Qi Minsong, "......"
