God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Hu Yanji said quickly: "Don't blame me, County Lady. General Chahar is also anxious. However, this 200,000 taels of silver is really a huge sum of money. It is difficult for our country to come up with it at once."

Jun Moyuan said slowly: "Then according to the Second Prince's opinion, what should we do?"

Hu Yanji pondered for a moment and said, "Can you lower the ransom? Or we can replace part of it with other supplies."

Lu Tianhao said: "No, two hundred thousand taels of silver, not a cent less."

The two sides were at a stalemate and the atmosphere became tense again.

Mu Yanyu looked serious, looked directly at Hu Yanji and said, "Second Prince, your country is the defeated party and the loser. Our Crown Prince did not ask you to cede the city, which is already a great concession."

Chahar glared at him and was about to speak when he was interrupted.

Jun Moyuan looked cold and said, "Since we can't reach an agreement through negotiation, let's see who is the winner on the battlefield. I don't intend to force the Second Prince, but this matter is of great importance and needs a clear result."

Hu Yanji said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please calm down. Please give me some time. I will write back to my father and then give you a reply. How about that?"

Jun Moyuan nodded slightly and said, "I will wait for your news."

Huyanji and Chahar left in a hurry and returned to Liang Guo's camp.

Chahar said angrily: "Second Prince, the Chu State is clearly bullying us too much. How can we surrender so easily?"

Hu Yanji frowned and said, "The situation is not favorable to us now. If we fight again, I am afraid the losses will be even greater."

Hu Yanji's face was solemn. After he finished speaking hurriedly, he immediately started writing and finished the letter in a short time.

He folded the letter carefully, handed it to Aba, and said seriously: "Aba, you must send this letter quickly, without delay, quickly!"

Aba took the letter with both hands, nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will arrange it right away."

On the other side, inside the Chu camp.

Lu Tianhao said: "Your Highness, how do you think Hu Yanji will respond?"

Jun Moyuan pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, but no matter what, we must be prepared for both situations."

Mu Yanyu frowned slightly and said seriously: "This general believes that the Emperor of Liang is very likely to choose to go to war."

Jun Moyuan looked at him and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Mu Yanyu analyzed: "In recent years, Liang State has been violating our borders. Its ambitions are obvious, and the voices of the war faction in Liang State have never stopped."

Jun Moyuan pondered for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but once the war begins, the people will suffer in the end."

Mu Yanyu clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince cares about the people, which is admirable. But we must also be fully prepared in case the Liang Kingdom invades."

Lu Tingyan looked determined and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. We have a powerful fortification called the artillery platform. Even if Liang State increases its troops, it may not be our opponent."

Lu Tianhao nodded in agreement and said, "Sister, you are absolutely right. We have the artillery battery to rely on, so there is no need to be afraid."

Lu Tingyan continued, "Your Highness, during this period of time, I will try my best to prepare two more artillery batteries to strengthen our defense."

Jun Moyuan showed gratitude on his face and said, "Thank you for your hard work, County Lord."

Lu Tingyan bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. It is Tingyan's honor to contribute to the safety of the Chu State."

Jun Moyuan looked at her and said, "The county lady is as brave as any man. With you here, I feel much more at ease."

The day after Hu Yanji sent the message, the third prince Hu Yanzhuo rushed to the Liang camp with the imperial edict of the Liang emperor.

It turned out that the Emperor of Liang was worried that the second prince Huyanji would seek peace wholeheartedly, so not long after Huyanji set out, he sent Huyanzhuo with his imperial edict to announce the decree.

The imperial edict clearly stated that if the second prince Huyanji no longer continued to fight, he would be captured immediately. At the same time, Huyan Zhuo would be appointed as the general and lead the army to fight against the State of Chu.

Hu Yanzhuo rushed to Liang State's camp. Hu Yanji was puzzled and asked, "Third brother, why are you here?"

Hu Yanzhuo raised his head and said, "Second brother, it was my father who asked me to come here."

Hu Yanji's expression tensed, and he asked, "But what does the emperor want to tell you?"

Hu Yanzhuo curled his lips and said, "Second brother, I'm tired from traveling all the way."

Chahar hurriedly said, "Third Prince, I will take you to rest."

After the two entered the tent, Hu Yanzhuo sat down and said, "Tell me about the situation in the army."

Chahar said: "Third Prince, you don't know that since the capture of the eldest prince and General Nurgu, the morale of the army has been low and the army has been demoralized."

Hu Yanzhuo frowned and said, "Well, then tell me what the second prince did after arriving at the border?"

Chahar looked angry and said, "Third Prince, I am so angry when I talk about this. The Second Prince came to the army with 300,000 troops, but he asked for peace with the enemy before the battle even started."

Hu Yanzhuo's eyes widened and he asked, "Are you serious?"

Chahar swore solemnly: "Third Prince, it is absolutely true! If you don't believe it, you can ask other people in the army."

Hu Yanzhuo slammed the table, stood up, and shouted angrily: "How can Second Brother be so cowardly!"

Chahar said cautiously: "Third Prince, calm down. Second Prince is also trying to avoid more casualties."

Hu Yanzhuo snorted coldly and said, "Avoid casualties? I think he was scared by the Chu State! Fortunately, my father asked me to come here."

Chahar looked puzzled and said, "Third Prince, I wonder what the emperor wants?"

Hu Yanzhuo looked solemn, took out the secret letter from his bosom, and said, "This is the secret letter my father gave me, take a look."

Chahar took the imperial edict with both hands, and after reading it carefully, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Third Prince, since the emperor has no intention of seeking peace, what are we waiting for? Let's start the war! Our army has 800,000 troops, half as many as theirs, and we will definitely win."

Hu Yanzhuo looked determined and said, "General Chahar, follow me to capture the second prince."

Chahar clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, Your Highness the Third Prince."

The two men, accompanied by a team of elite soldiers, marched aggressively towards Huyanji's tent.

At this time, Huyan Ji was in the tent thinking about whether his father would agree to a truce and peace.

Suddenly, the tent was opened and Hu Yanzhuo and Chahar rushed in with their men.

Hu Yanji stood up and said, "Third brother, what do you mean?"
