There is hope of rising, so at this time, we should just accept it when things are good. You see, how peaceful it is now. The one who is suffering now is the Southern Empire. They will definitely offer a price that satisfies us, and

We all need to rest too." Li Cong looked at Tuoba Yuanye and said. Tuoba Yuanye didn't say a word. Li Cong knew what this guy wanted to say. It can be said that this is what he is thinking now.

these.

"Hmph, I don't know how many times Old Wu has told me these things you said. When I ordered to stop the attack, the generals who came to me were either 100 or 80. I told them the same thing, but to be honest,

Although I explained it to them, I still couldn't wrap my head around it. Now we have the advantage. Although there are more than a billion Southern Empire troops in front of us, you can tell by looking at their appearance.

, they don’t even have any backbone at all, they are not soldiers at all. Not to mention our powerful soldiers, even some ordinary people with weapons can easily kill them. Look at what they look like.

, they will choose to throw down their weapons when they escape. The army of the Southern Empire is what it is today. If we can work harder, I guarantee that you will be able to speak in the palace of the Southern Empire in the second half of the year.

, Yes, what you are talking about is the pressure of the four empires, but what if they can't unite together? Didn't our intelligence department say that the conflicts between them are very serious, I don't think they will do it for these things.

They are united together. As long as there are conflicts among them, can't we all take advantage of it?" Tuoba Yuanye still said what was in his heart. Seven of his fifteen guards died, and all of them died.

He died in battle. The situation at that time was really too critical. The tide of the Southern Empire had already reached the headquarters. He sent all his guards up. At that time, he said that he would attack the capital of the Southern Empire.

Go, now he's going to break his promise.

"You are right, but you should also know. It is possible that these things are just superficial phenomena. What if the Southern Empire has not weakened to this point? We have already rushed forward. What should we do? What should we do?

How many soldiers can attack? I don’t know if you have seen this terrain. 3,000 miles constitutes the second line of defense. If the Southern Empire can establish a third line of defense, their defense line will be 10,000 miles, or even more.

Commander. At that time we will divide our forces even more fiercely. Look at the area we occupied. Although the encirclement and suppression is still going on, those people have also caused us a lot of casualties. We don't have that big.

The stomach can eat all of this, we can only do it slowly. Let all this come slowly. We must first digest what we eat into the stomach before we can do other things.

Otherwise, we may all be killed. We cannot lose ourselves. This is what a senior commander fears most. I thought you would understand me. Watching you explain to those generals, I thought you

I really understand. It really disappoints me. Go back and talk to Lao Wu, he will make you understand better." Li Cong did not forgive Tuoba Yuanye at all. He really

He was a little angry. He originally felt that Tuoba Yuanye should really understand him, but he didn't expect that this guy really didn't understand him. What this guy was thinking in his mind was the same as those ordinary generals.

It's about continuing the attack.

Things within the army still have to be digested by themselves. Li Cong came out and walked around. Each of these people was a little depressed. They all hoped to end the war quickly, but it is impossible to end it now because

The Southern Empire has already begun to hold an imperial meeting to discuss the issue of peace. They are not all fools. Naturally, they know that the people in the Cao Family Trading Company must have their own ideas, and they will not start this randomly.

As for the matter, they will definitely get enough benefits in the end, and the Cao Family Trading Company will also send its own representative there. This person must be Wu Zuoxi, but Wu Zuoxi is not clear about Li Cong's bottom line, so he has to talk to Li Cong.

It is only possible to communicate. Of course, the so-called negotiations are naturally about two aspects. One is compensation, and the other is naturally the cession of territory. The compensation must be a large figure, so that Nan

People in the empire will not have any ability to resist in a short time. It is a question of how much territory can be obtained by ceding the territory. Now Li Cong must have his own ideas. Next, we will see when Wu Zuoxi arrives in the capital of the Southern Empire.

How the price was proposed and how it was discussed with the other side is also a continuation. Moreover, during the negotiation process, Li Cong had to cooperate militarily. He must make the people of the Southern Empire feel

It's all about pressure, otherwise how could this matter be handled so easily? It wasn't that simple when the Eastern Empire signed the agreement, and they were also in a mood for a long time.

"Boss, the people from the Southern Empire have already come here to get the news. They can no longer hold on to the truce for two days. They want to have peace talks with us. Their people have already talked to us about their general intentions.

Like the Eastern Empire, they hope that the war can be ended with dignity. Another thing is that the land ceded to us will never appear in the treaty. They hope that they can use a secret contract to keep everything the same as what we did last time.

The Eastern Empire does the same thing, and there is also the matter of reparations. They hope to use our tax cuts or other things to do this. In general, they are telling their people that they are not the ones who failed in this war, but

It's us who have to leave enough face for them." Wu Zuoxi has already talked with people from the Southern Empire, and he finds this matter a bit funny. It's like we have been defeated.

How could the people of the Empire make such a request? The reason why they signed such a contract with the Eastern Empire was because they were not the Eastern Empire's opponent and no all-out war broke out. Moreover, the Eastern Empire was much stronger than the Southern Empire.

Now that we have completely defeated you, now you still want to save face, is this possible? Isn't this a bit funny? If you can do whatever you want, isn't it possible for us?

, we have been fighting for so long, so many people have died, and the world is about to become famous. Everything is not that simple, but since you want to keep this secret, we can raise the requirements higher.

.

"Haha. Actually, I knew what they meant when they came. They definitely hope to save their face, but they also have to understand that face is sometimes needed. We are in the Eastern Empire.

It's because we are not capable enough. The three major empires will never confront us just because of a contract. As long as we don't continue the attack, they will definitely not care about the rest, so we

We absolutely cannot agree to this condition of the Southern Empire. In fact, we don’t have that reputation at all. Only if we insist on such things will they give up other things. At that time, we will have the final say.

This is a negotiation skill. I think you will know more about this kind of thing than me. They cannot be left idle on the issue of compensation. Regarding the financial situation of the Southern Empire, what do you think we should propose?

What about the demand for reparations? You can’t let them go berserk, otherwise they may try hard to continue fighting us even if the war doesn’t end. Now we also need peace. We can’t let the war continue. Let’s continue.

It is not in the interest of our Cao Family Trading Company to continue." Li Cong said. As for the economic situation of the Southern Empire, he only knew that apart from the Eastern Empire, the Southern Empire might be stronger. This time, his shops and other things also suffered a lot of losses.

Yes, I definitely want the people of the Southern Empire to compensate me, but I don’t seem to have much confidence in this specific amount. It’s better to let Wu Zuoxi talk about this matter.

"Since you are the boss and you said that reputation is not that important, I understand. It seems that boss you are going to make a fortune in silence this time. Sometimes you have to do something like this. Each of these guys

Everyone understands that they can't mess with us. These people are very measured in doing things. What they value most is their face. There are so many people in the entire empire, and there are a few other important ones.

The empire has not signed such a defeat treaty with us, and they will definitely not sign such a contract. For them, such a thing is more important than dozens of provinces. I will use this matter to talk to them.

Let's talk about it, we have to get the maximum benefit for us no matter what. Our soldiers are all dead and paid such a huge price, so we should get huge benefits." Wu Zuoxi also had a look on his face.

There are some sad things. This can be said to be the war in which the Cao Family Trading Company suffered the most deaths and injuries. Without the efforts of so many people, such a result would not have been possible. The result this time can be said to be

Very good. It all depends on your own negotiations. As for the economic situation of the Southern Empire, their domestic economy is basically on the verge of collapse due to the war. If the war continues, the outcome of the Southern Empire will definitely not be the same.

How good it is, but they are all tough talkers. If this is the case, they will just ask you for more. Wu Zuoxi already had a number in his heart. At this moment, he saw Li Cong asking him,

Naturally, I knew it well.

"The financial situation of the Southern Empire was still very good in the past. In the past, the annual revenue could reach about three trillion to four trillion silver. Of course, this was the total of their central and local finances.

Yes, including some royal property and the like, their income is at least 4 trillion silver per year. If it is more, it can reach about 6 trillion. But I think we will occupy 20% of them in this war.

They are some relatively developed provinces. It is already good that their income can reach 3 trillion yuan this year. What do you think of our offer of 20 trillion yuan in compensation to them? If they still can’t pay it.

, we can also lend to them, just ask them to use some fiscal revenue as a guarantee. They owed us more than one trillion yuan before, and they no longer recognize that, so this will not work, and this account will not work.

We have to make a clear calculation with them. We also have to ask them to compensate us for some of our real estate in various places. If there is some damage, we can calculate it with them according to the pre-war price. This they

They should not default on their debts. My price was 50 trillion silver. They must not be willing to accept this bastard. In the end, they will take their time. There should be no problem with 30 trillion silver. I believe they will not either.

Other ideas." Wu Zuoxi still knows a lot about economic matters, but he didn't expect that the Southern Empire would only have such a huge income. Of course, these are just taxes, and other incomes are

Not counting, their hidden income is much greater than taxes, but outsiders cannot investigate it clearly.

On the surface, the royal family's monthly expenses are hundreds of billions of dollars. If it relies on such a small amount of fiscal revenue, it is estimated that the entire Southern Empire will go bankrupt. This is absolutely impossible. As for the Southern Empire

People from the Cao Family Trading Company have also inquired about some hidden incomes, but there are no results. Although there are some mines and the like, it is impossible for those things to generate much income, and most of the time they are still

There are some things that cannot be noticed. These things may be the most produced by the royal family. However, the royal family will keep these things very tightly and will never let you see them.

"Well, basically what you said is good. I can rest assured if you go to negotiate. The other three empires haven't said anything yet, but I estimate that the negotiations will start in half a month.

They will definitely send people to participate. Losing both sides is the best thing for them. The people from these three empires are the ones who stir things up. They are not easy people. You have to let them know how powerful we are.

"Although we can't compete with them, we still have to let them know that we are not afraid of people from the three empires joining forces. At least one must be so qualified so that they can't underestimate us." Li Cong thought about it.
