God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

After the envoys set off for Chu, the people of Liang were anxiously awaiting the result. The Emperor of Liang handled government affairs in the imperial study every day, while paying attention to any news from the front.

In the State of Chu, the Emperor of Chu and his ministers were also having a heated discussion about the arrival of the envoys from the State of Liang.

"The reason why Liang sent an envoy here this time is probably because it is afraid of the military might of Chu." A minister of Chu said proudly.

"But we must not take it lightly. We need to respond with caution to prevent Liang State from making a fraud," another minister reminded.

There were different opinions in the court of Chu State, and the Emperor of Chu was weighing the pros and cons, thinking about how to gain the greatest benefits for Chu State in this game.

After several days of negotiations, the envoy finally returned to Liang with Chu's conditions.

Emperor Liang summoned his ministers again to discuss the matter.

"The conditions proposed by the State of Chu are extremely harsh. Not only does it demand a large amount of financial compensation, but it also demands the cession of several border cities." The envoy said with a heavy face.

The prime minister frowned and said, "This is simply too much. If we agree to these conditions, Liang will suffer a great loss."

The general said angrily: "The Chu State is bullying us too much. We should fight to the death."

The Grand Tutor said, "But if we refuse, war will break out immediately. Given the current situation, we really don't stand much chance of winning."

As everyone argued endlessly, Emperor Liang felt tremendous pressure.

At this time, the Minister of War proposed: "Your Majesty, perhaps we can send another envoy to Chu to try to renegotiate the terms and gain some room for easing the situation."

Emperor Liang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Then try again, but this time you must be fully prepared and find out the bottom line of the country."

Thus, a new round of negotiations began. The fate of Liang State was in turmoil in these rounds of games, and the future was full of unknowns and challenges.

The second envoys, carrying the expectations of Liang, once again set out on a journey to Chu. Along the way, the envoys were nervous, knowing the difficulty and importance of this negotiation.

After arriving in Chu, the Chu court was full of scrutiny and speculation about the Liang envoy's return.

"The Liang State has sent another envoy this time. It must be because they can't bear the previous conditions." A general of the Chu State sneered.

"But we must also be on guard against their other plans." A civil official said cautiously.

At the negotiation table, the envoy of Liang State was neither humble nor arrogant, and argued with reason: "Our country is willing to seek peace with sincerity, but the conditions proposed by Chu State are too harsh. If they insist on doing so, the whole Liang State will have no choice but to fight to the death."

The negotiating minister of Chu looked sharp: "The Liang State must be aware of the consequences of war. Do you really want to fight against the stone with an egg?"

The envoy spoke earnestly: "Although Liang is weak, its people are strong-willed. If we push them too far, they will unite to fight against the enemy. All we ask is for both sides to take a step back and find a mutually acceptable peace solution."

After several days of difficult maneuvering and negotiation, the State of Chu finally made some concessions and reduced the amount of compensation, but it remained firm on the issue of ceding the city.

The envoy hurried back to Liang State with the new conditions.

After hearing this, Emperor Liang's brows were still furrowed. In the court, the ministers once again started a heated discussion.

"Although the financial compensation has been reduced, ceding the city is an act of losing sovereignty and humiliating the country." An old minister was heartbroken.

"But if we don't agree, war will break out immediately and the people will suffer again." Another minister was worried.

The general gnashed his teeth and said, "I am willing to lead my soldiers to fight to the death with the State of Chu. I will never cede an inch of our territory!"

The Minister of Revenue sighed and said, "The general's courage is commendable, but the food and fodder needed for the war are far from sufficient."

Emperor Liang was silent for a long time, and finally said: "The city is the foundation of the country, and it must not be ceded. Send another envoy to inform Chu that Liang is willing to increase the financial compensation, but the cession of land is absolutely impossible."

The fate of Liang State is still undecided, and in this repeated tug of war, the tension between the two countries becomes increasingly intense.
