The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the heads of the ten special envoys from the Beimang Kingdom were neatly placed in Yan Longyi's military tent.

The generals of Yan State watched this scene and knew that Gao State was afraid.

"Bury them," Yan Longyi said calmly, and then said to his deputy general Yan Wen, "Notify the Gao Kingdom and immediately send a special envoy to hold a meeting with us under the city walls."

"Yes." Yan Wen immediately rode his horse to the city wall of Gao State's capital, shouting for Gao State to send a special envoy to negotiate.

The king and his ministers of Gao State were overjoyed. Being able to negotiate meant that Gao State still had hope of keeping its capital.

They have already killed the special envoy of Beimang State. Now they can only surrender to Yan State.

King Gao immediately sent Prime Minister Gao Qin to negotiate with the Yan envoy at the foot of the city.

Things progressed quite quickly. Yan Longyi, accompanied by Si Yan and a few others, sat opposite Gao Qin at the foot of the city wall.

Si Yan was dressed up today, and she exuded the aura of a queen. Sitting next to the jade-like King Yan, they were a perfect match made in heaven.

The generals of Yan State couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the King of Yan never wanted to marry any woman from Yan State.

The brilliance of a pearl cannot be compared with that of the sun and the moon.

The soldiers on both sides looked down at the city wall, guarding against any unusual actions by the other side.

Gao Qin came to the appointment with a few followers. His face was pale and he looked as frightened as a dog that had lost its home.

"Pour tea for Prime Minister Gao." Yan Longyi smiled slightly and spoke politely.

"I dare not, I dare not." Gao Qin quickly asked someone to take the tea and put it on the table in front of him.

Gao Qin noticed that the woman next to Yan Longyi was extremely beautiful and had an amazing temperament. Could she be the Princess of Yan?

However, the King of Yan had not yet married, and the woman before him looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her in a portrait somewhere...

Gao Qin was suddenly startled and asked without caring about being rude: "Excuse me, who is this girl..."

"My name is Si Yan." The girl smiled and bowed to Gao Qin.

"What?" Gao Qin was shocked and looked at Si Yan in disbelief. "You, is it really you?"

"Prime Minister Gao heard correctly. I am Si Yan, a first-rank female official and general of Daxuan."

Gao Qin was stunned for a moment. This was the number one female general of Daxuan, whom even the people of Beimang were afraid of.

It is not an exaggeration to call her the best female general in the world.

Not to mention the Gao Kingdom’s court, even many of the Gao Kingdom’s ordinary people knew her.

Some merchants even went to Daxuan Shangjing and bought her portrait, painted it into a celestial fairy and sold it.

He had seen the woman in front of him from the portraits of those merchants.

Gao Qin thought of the tens of thousands of elite troops who had gone there and would never return, and asked tremblingly, "Is General Si from Daxuan?"

"Yes, I have already met with the fifty thousand elite troops you sent to our country. Prime Minister Gao, rest assured that they will not be able to return if they dare to enter our Daxuan territory."

Gao Qin couldn't help but burst into tears. His son and nephew were also among the troops they sent to Daxuan.

Now they have all died in Daxuan, and the Gao Kingdom is facing the danger of national destruction.

Gao Qin wiped his tears and choked up, saying, "Great...General, please understand, Prince of Yan, understand. This is all a conspiracy by the people of Beimang. They deceived our king, causing him to be obsessed with money and make the wrong decision, thus ruining so many of Gao's disciples in vain."

The people of Beimang claimed that there was wealth in Boao Mountain of Daxuan that was rich enough to rival a country, and that they could bring back these treasures by simply crossing the ocean and going to Boao Mountain.

King Gao had drunk some kind of magic potion and believed it without a doubt.

He also sent tens of thousands of elite troops from Gao State to the territory of Daxuan.

Si Yan looked at Gao Qin, who was filled with regret, and said calmly: "I happen to have someone on my hand who I can hand over to your Gao Kingdom for disposal."

"Who is it?" Gao Qin's eyes were blurred with tears, and he was confused for a moment.

"General Liang of Beimang State, Liang Junshan."

"It's this man, so despicable!" Gao Qin was filled with hatred when he heard Liang Junshan's name. "It was he who whispered in my king's ear, asking him to send a large army to Daxuan, and killed tens of thousands of my Gao Kingdom's soldiers."

As Gao Qin spoke, he couldn't help but clench his fists, his old eyes filled with hatred.

"Bring General Liang up here."

At Si Yan's command, Sice and others immediately led the Liang army up the mountain.

When Gao Qin saw Liang Junshan, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. When he saw Liang Junshan being captured by Si Yan, he believed what Si Yan said without a doubt.

Liang Junshan was the main person who led them to Daxuan. Even Liang Junshan was arrested, so one can imagine what happened to the rest of the people.

Not only have they made enemies with the State of Yan, but they have also offended Daxuan. It is truly a matter of life and death.

Gao Qin tried his best to calm his mind and soothe himself.

"At this point, my king is deeply regretful. General Si, King Yan, please give me Gaoguo a chance to reform."

Gao Qin also knew that the King of Yan was willing to negotiate with them, which meant he was ready to give them a chance.

"Of course," Yan Longyi said very straightforwardly. "We are meeting here today for the sake of friendship between our two countries. I will not beat around the bush. In order for Yan to withdraw its troops, Gao must agree to several conditions."

"Please speak, King Yan." Gao Qin came here mentally prepared. As long as Yan State did not go too far, they would agree to these conditions.

"First, Gao Nation must completely sever ties with Beimang Nation and no further exchanges are allowed in the future."

"Of course." Gao Qin nodded quickly in response.

All the ministers in the Gao Kingdom hated the Beimang Kingdom so much, who would dare to talk about having dealings with the Beimang Kingdom?

If the people of Beimang had not come to deceive the king and ministers of Gao State, they would not have been defeated by Yan State and had to humiliate themselves and seek peace today.

Moreover, they have killed more than ten special envoys from the Beimang Kingdom, and have forged a feud with the Beimang Kingdom.

"Second, Gao will now become a vassal of Yan and pay an annual tribute of 100,000 taels of gold and 5,000,000 taels of silver to Yan."

This number was calculated by Yan Longyi, and it is just within the tolerable range of Gao State. If it is more, it is hard to say.

Gao Qin was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath: "This, should be fine..."

"Third, King Gao needs to send the prince of Gao to Yanjing, the capital of Yan, as a hostage."

"This..." Gao Qin seemed a little embarrassed. He had no say in this matter.

Yan Longyi said in a gentle tone: "Prime Minister Gao can go back and discuss this with King Gao. If King Gao agrees, the two countries will sign an alliance tomorrow morning, and the Yan army will immediately retreat with the prince of Gao.

"If King Gao doesn't agree, tomorrow morning, our Yan army will immediately attack the city, capture the Gao Kingdom's capital in one fell swoop, and destroy the Gao Kingdom."

Gao Qin couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and said repeatedly: "King Yan, please be patient. I will go back to the city and discuss it with my king.

"Okay." Yan Longyi nodded, stood up suddenly, and left the city with Si Yan.

The Prime Minister of Gao State returned to the capital of Gao State tremblingly and with the help of others.
