The Rebirth of a Daughter: My Lord, I Will Never Be a Concubine

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a figure in the distance. The figure seemed to have discovered something and turned away.

"What's wrong?" Mo Cerong asked when he saw that she didn't move.

"Nothing!" Su Yanhua said with a raised lip.

For some reason, that figure felt familiar.

The lobbyists sent by Yan State were two robed military advisors. Both men also held a place in the world's disputes, and their faces were full of arrogance. One of the military advisors said, "General Su, I will speak frankly. During the past few days of fighting, your heroic deeds are always remembered by our Yan army, and I admire you deeply. However, the war between our two countries only affects the people. I have come here to discuss countermeasures with you, General, and the prince. For the safety of the people in the city, Yan surrenders!"

After he finished speaking, Su Yanhua sneered in his heart, look, how artistic he is in speaking, first he affirmed her strength and praised her, then he pointed out the core of the problem again, that it was the people who suffered in the war, and finally he said that he wanted to withdraw his troops for the good of the people.

If they win, you pursue them relentlessly. If they lose, your moral composure soars, and you withdraw your troops for the sake of the people. So, every victory Su Yanhua achieves on the battlefield comes at the expense of the people? This conversation puts Su Yanhua on a pedestal. Even a loser can consider the people, so how dare you, a winner, disagree with withdrawing your troops?

It was clearly the State of Yan that started the war first, and they were the ones who started bullying the civilians. Now Yun Qin has been ordered to resist, but after only winning a few times, he came forward to play the victim. What an old fox!

"General Ji, what you said is appropriate. After all, it is worthwhile to put down the war for the safety of the people. However, the saying "the victor is the king and the loser is the bandit" is a common occurrence on the battlefield. Since Yan State wants to stop the war first, it must show sincerity. After all, it was Yan State that started the war!" Su Yanhua smiled, but the smile did not show in his eyes.

How can we try to smooth things over and casually negotiate a ceasefire?

The two military advisors were stunned. They didn't expect Su Yanhua to be so calm. A hint of contemplation flashed in their eyes.

Military Advisor Ji laughed and said, "I wonder what sincerity General Su wants?"

She should talk about this matter first, and then we can deal with it appropriately!

A gleam of light flashed in Su Yanhua's eyes. She and Mo Cerong looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

Mo Cerong put down his teacup and said slowly, "Yan State has a large population and is a land of abundant resources. It also has a very friendly relationship with Yun Qin. Yun Qin does not force Yan State to produce..."

There was a hint of pride in the eyes of the two military advisors, and their bodies relaxed.

"Only one hundred boxes of goods must be paid as tribute each year, which is equivalent to no less than ten thousand taels of gold. In addition, a princess and a prince must be sent as a hostage each year. Furthermore, the Emperor of Yan must personally apologize to the monarch of Yunqin..."

A smile flashed in Su Yanhua's eyes. It seemed that Mo Cerong was as irritating as these two old foxes.

Before Mo Cerong could finish his words, another military advisor, with a hint of anger in his eyes, stood up and shouted, "How dare you—"

When the first sentence came out, the expressions of the two military advisors had already darkened. They had never expected that Mo Cerong's conditions would become more and more outrageous. They were immediately furious.

The military advisor, who was so angry that he stood up, pointed at Su Yanhua and Mo Cerong and shouted, "Who do you think you are? How dare you be so arrogant? Do you think Yan State can't defeat you? I tell you..."

Seeing him acting so excitedly, Ji Junshi also stood up hurriedly, trying to stop him: "Cheng Zheng, stop talking!"

Chengli pushed Ji Junshi away and said, "Why can't I say it? If it weren't for your stupid idea, would we have been toyed with like this?"

Military Advisor Ji didn't expect that he would suddenly push him away. He couldn't stand and was about to fall. Mo Celong was quick to hold him firmly.

"Be careful—"

Chengli said angrily, "No need to talk anymore. We won't agree to any of your conditions—"

After saying this, he left in anger.

Military Advisor Ji smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."

Su Yanhua smiled and said with an ambiguous tone, "Military Advisor Ji, you're joking. You'd better go back first. Otherwise, Military Advisor Cheng will definitely speak ill of you in front of your general. I hope Military Advisor Ji will say good things for us."

"Of course." A trace of panic flashed in Ji Junshi's eyes.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Su Yanhua fell into deep thought.

"After you finished speaking, why is Military Advisor Ji even more hurried than before?" Mo Cerong asked beside him.

"Because I said on the surface that Military Advisor Cheng would say bad things about us in front of their general, but as far as I know, Military Advisor Cheng will definitely express his dissatisfaction with Military Advisor Ji. The villain complains first, so of course Military Advisor Ji will panic." Su Yanhua said.

"From the moment I saw them, I realized neither of them was willing to submit to the other. Yan State is rich in talent, but places with abundant talent are prone to conflict. A military advisor is the most important person in the army, and there are two of them. If they start arguing, only one person's opinion will be adopted, and the other person will definitely feel uncomfortable. Naturally, they will become dissatisfied with each other over the years."

After hearing Su Yanhua's words, Mo Cerong immediately understood what Su Yanhua meant.

"You mean starting with these two?"

Su Yanhua nodded, her eyes filled with determination.

Su Yanhua asked Liu Li to investigate and found out that Cheng Li and Ji Junshi were classmates. They passed the examination to become scholars of Yan State and were both highly valued by Yan State. Cheng Li was impatient and had a strong sense of jealousy. He was also quite dissatisfied with Ji Junshi and said a lot of bad things about Ji Junshi in front of the general of Yan State. At the beginning, the general still valued Ji Junshi, but as he talked more and more, Ji Junshi's position in the army was increasingly disrespected. Su Yanhua smiled and decided to start with Ji Junshi.

It just so happened that one of the people in Huainan was an old acquaintance of Military Advisor Ji. Su Yanhua asked Liu Li to send this person to maintain a good relationship with Military Advisor Ji, send more care and supplies, and poach him when necessary.

Liu Li was immediately confused: "General, Military Advisor Ji has been in Yan State for several years. How could he be easily persuaded and used by us?"

"I didn't ask Military Advisor Ji to join us voluntarily; I forced him!" Su Yanhua said slowly, "Military Advisor Ji values ​​relationships, so it's unlikely he would join us for a small favor. But because he values ​​relationships, the better his relationship with old acquaintances, the more likely he will be able to find evidence against him. This will cause the Yan generals to become suspicious of Military Advisor Ji. Once the seeds of suspicion have sprouted, think about it, with a knife hanging over his head, will Military Advisor Ji still serve the Yan State?"

Liu Li's eyes lit up and he exclaimed in admiration: "General, this is a brilliant plan!"

Su Yanhua smiled and said, "Now we just have to wait for the opportunity."
