But this is just a so-called so-called asking for a price in the general sense. While raising his own price, he also explored the bottom line of Xiangyang. Yueli Huma replied slowly, "Two thousand taels of gold and silver exchange for the lives of a city, which is quite cost-effective. What's more, even if the people in the city hide gold and silver, they will return to the Mongolian army after the city is broken? At that time, people were killed and gold and silver were taken away. Isn't it a situation where people and money are left alone? Now they have abandoned gold, silver and silk to save their lives, which is definitely not a loss-making transaction."

Zheng Yunming smiled slightly and said, "What the Lord said is indeed true, but the negotiation price needs to be obtained through the victory or defeat on the battlefield. The Mongolians thought that only 500,000 troops were placed outside the city and wanted Xiangyang to lose money. Perhaps your Western defenders could do it, but it was not the attitude of my Song Dynasty men. Now our army is in stalemate. The Mongolian army has been siege for many days, but it has not yet captured a single inch of the city. The military strategy of the Central Plains has been said, and it will decline again and then be exhausted. I think the morale of the Mongolian army is no longer enough to support them in capturing the city. I am afraid that your food and grass will be as strong as the morale of the soldiers, right?"

Taituo, in the first step, shouted loudly, "The warriors of the Khan will never retreat. There are still cattle and sheep in our army. They will neither cringe nor hungry. Please do not worry about this. You are unwilling to accept the conditions of King Tasi. When the city is broken, it will be too late to beg for mercy."

Zheng Yunming laughed and shouted, "It's not me who should be afraid of, but him Tasi! He led more than 100,000 Mongolian troops to attack Xiangyang, but instead made the commander Qu Chu shot dead by our army! When he returns, he will wait for the beheading of the Khan who lost his beloved son!"

Taituo Yinbuhua was shocked and shouted angrily: "But yesterday, Is it true that you, the fox, attacked us with the meteor that drew smoke yesterday?"

Zheng Yunming responded with a smile: "That's right, my gunpowder arrow fired five thousand steps, and the sound shook the sky. If Tasi listened to my good words, he would withdraw his troops from now on, and the two countries would settle on the borders without swords and weapons, and enjoy peace. Otherwise, there would be 100,000 gunpowder arrows waiting for him in the city. Is it true that the Mongolian soldiers are really copper-stems and iron bones, or is my explosion arrow more powerful!"

Taituoyinbuhua suddenly sneered and shouted loudly: "Na Yan's words are so full! Your gunpowder arrow is shot far away and the sound is not small, but unfortunately the accuracy is too bad! Let me tell you the truth today, I am not afraid that you will not believe it. Yesterday, your rockets actually killed five small soldiers in our army and injured dozens of people. As for those above the Yan clan leader, no one of them was injured, let alone Qu's king! If Zheng Nayan thought that relying on this kind of rocket could defend Xiangyang, please don't have such daydreams!"

"The central army tent was blown up by our army, so I'm so arrogant!" Zheng Yunming shouted: "Since Qu's safety is safe, why not let him show off and let us see the style of Prince Khan?"

Taituo Yinbuhua widened his eyes and shouted, "Well, Yan really wants to see him?"

The muscles on Zheng Yunming's face twitched for a moment, and then whispered loudly: "Of course I want to see you!"

"Don't say enough to Yan!" Taituoyinbuhua shouted, "Please follow me to the head of Xicheng to see!"

Zheng Yunming looked at Zhao Kui, only seeing how he ordered. Zhao Kui touched her beard and was silent for a moment, then said with a sigh: "Well, but the city defense is important, the two have special identities, and it is quite inconvenient to go up the city, so people come!"

A guard of the government office came in and obeyed the order.

"Go to inform the city inspector and ask the lookout hand to wait on the northwest city tower, and report the movements of the Mongolian camp in the west of the city continuously!" Zhao Kui shouted, "I told him to send someone to report when there is any movement in the opposite camp. No mistakes are allowed!"

The guard responded and turned around and ran away. Yuelihuma and Taituo also sat down. The hall fell into a subtle silence.

The commander Zhao Kui sat upright, as if he was on weekdays. He didn't say a word about Yuelihuma, and Zheng Yunming leaned his body against the back of the chair, pretending to be relaxed, unable to hide the hint of anxiety that flashed between his eyebrows.

Yueli Huma and Taituo were calm but calm. They even talked to Wu Qian and Bai Yijie, such as the style of the Western Regions, the tempers of each person in the Mongolian formation, etc., and they looked as if they were sure that Qu Chu was still alive.

After a while, news came from the city head: "The generals of the Mongolian Central Army gathered together, and it seemed that some ceremony was to be held!"

Zhao Kui and Zheng Yunming looked at each other. The two of them said it was certain, so they were naturally not prepared. The Mongolians wanted to do any tricks, just concentrate and observe quietly.

After a moment, another envoy came to report: "A man in the central army tent was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor. He walked out of the central army tent surrounded by the Qinxue guards! The generals in the Mongolian camp seemed to be visiting him!"

Zheng Yunming's expression changed slightly, and he opened his mouth but said nothing.

Yueli said proudly: "The Mongolian camp is far away from here. You have to look at the lookout post of your army carefully to see if this nobleman is the king himself."

He was sure that at such a long distance, even the Mongolian army had a very good eye could not see the face of the people on the city wall clearly, and naturally, the lookouts on the city wall could not really see the face of the Mongolian Central Army camp.

The most important thing is that you don’t have to make Zheng Yunming really believe that Qu Chu is not dead, but that he has doubts, and the purpose has been achieved.

After a while, the city patrol officer sent someone to report: "The golden-armored general was patrolling the battalions under the escort of the generals and the guards of etiquette. Wherever they went, the Mongolian army was cheering, and people kept coming to kneel down and worshiping!"

"It's enough here?" Yuelihuma smiled and said, "Just like this, Zheng Yehu still doesn't believe that King Qu'er is really alive?"

Zheng Yunming snorted and said, "Even if Qu Chu is not dead and has not made any contribution to attack Xiangyang City for a long time, it is absolutely impossible to blackmail our army!"

Zhao Kui coughed, and Zheng Yunming shut his mouth consciously. After all, the last decision in Xiangyang City was the control envoy himself.

"The government has known the conditions of your envoy. Please go down and rest for a while. When our government and civil and military officials discuss the results, we will inform you personally."

He made a gesture of invitation, and Yuelihuma and Taituo stood up and bowed and said goodbye.

The personal soldiers led the two to a side hall in the east wing to rest. As soon as they entered the door, the door and window immediately stood full of guarded personal soldiers. Obviously, the Song people were quite worried about the safety of these two envoys, or the behavior of these two envoys.

There were ears in the wall. Yueli Huma and Taituo had a lot of conversation because they didn't have flowers. The two sat in the side hall for a whole hour before they saw the Zhao General, the deputy commander Zheng Yunming, the staff officer Ma Guangzu, and the senator Bai Yijie walked into the side hall.

After everyone had finished their seats, Zhao Kui went straight to the topic, "I heard that the Mongols are all straight-minded people, so there is no need to say more clever words. There is no way to take out 200,000 silk and 2,000 taels of gold in Xiangyang. Even if Qu Chu really breaks through Xiangyang, he will definitely not be able to search so many property. At present, the treasury is counted, and there is only about 300 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and 20,000 pieces of silk. This is the maximum amount that Xiangyang can get. Please report to Qu Chu and agree. If not, Zhao can only fight the army with Xiangyang City until the last one."

"This is impossible!" Taituo Yinbuhua slapped and shouted: "There is so much shortage of contributions, how can the prince of Quhu be satisfied? If Xiangyang could only give out such a little money, wait for the city to be destroyed after it was destroyed!"

Zheng Yunming raised his eyebrows and said, "I am just thinking about this. If I am not satisfied, I will send troops to try it out by myself. Look at the 20,000 pieces of silk, he can take one inch by force! "

Yueli Huma frowned and said, "These finances are too few, and it is really hard to explain when they are brought to the king."

Zhao Kui said: "Xiangyang's wealth was originally the best in Jinghu Lake, but last year your country went south. In order to avoid the treasures being taken away, the government transferred most of the gold, silver and silk to the south of the Yangtze River. Last year, Xiangyang was provoked by your country and a lot of chaos were burned. This year, the war continued, and a lot of it was consumed. Whether it was a letter to the envoy or not, the things that Xiangyang could take out were already on the list. Please go back and mediate more, so that the peace talks must be successful."

Yue Lima had a bitter face, as if she had encountered such a huge difficulty, and said, "I won't talk about gold, silver, silk, and silk, why don't I see boys and girls?"

Zheng Yunming said, "The Central Plains is clear, God has the virtue of being alive. I heard that the Turks believe in Allah and the Mongols believe in immortality. Both advocate filial piety and kindness to their parents, take the children away from their parents, and send them to the north to be slaves. This is not the way of a gentleman or a saint. I would rather fight to the last person in Xiangyang to the end, and I will never agree to such conditions."

It is a common law in the world to buy and sell people as wealth or even as tribute. In the eyes of Mongolian tribes with underdeveloped civilization, it is even more natural to ask for slaves as property. However, for slaves, their value may not be as high as a sheep or a horse. Zheng Yunming didn't even want to hand over a slave. Yuelihuma could only guess that Lord Ye Hu was particularly stingy with goods like slaves.

But he came here this time not to quarrel. If the negotiations break down, the Song army would last for a few more days, and the Mongolian army would have to set off and return to the north. In addition to getting as much benefits as possible in peace talks, his mission is also the most important thing, which is to ensure the safety of the Mongolian army when retreating.
