"Very good. Since you are so loyal and willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty again. Then we will be colleagues in the same dynasty in the future. I won't make things difficult for you." Li Yan chuckled, but this smile always reminded Zheng Jiezhi of the weasel, and he became the lonely and pitiful little chicken targeted by the weasel.

"Listen, the following are my formal conditions." Li Guan said loudly: "First, Duli Town will hand over all the Feng clans in Duli Town that you said lobbying to deceive you to me, Shamen Town, and let us deal with it. Secondly, you took on the war first. In response, our Shamen Town suffered huge losses, including many warships, many houses and shops on the dock, and many soldiers and people were killed in battle and seriously injured. In addition, a large number of weapons were consumed and destroyed. These are the losses of my Shamen Town, and you must bear them all. Zhang Bingcao, how much is our loss?"

Li Guan asked Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong immediately stood up from his seat and took out his account book from his body. His face turned red with excitement and his tone was a little trembling. This was a good opportunity to blackmail. When he thought about the money and food he was about to get, he was so excited that he seemed to be old.

"We have suffered a great loss. In this battle, there are as many as 1,378 people who died in battle, 2,356 people who are seriously injured and disabled, and 5,427 people who are slightly injured. General, the loss is too great." Zhang Hong's voice was sad, but his face almost turned pale.

Zheng Jiezhi, who was standing by, almost spit out a mouthful of old blood and fainted in court. Bastards, these bastards from Shamen Town! Although he was ready to be blackmailed, blackmail was not so blackmailed. It is said that Duli Town is a group of businessmen, and he is very smart and cunning in his work and never suffers losses. But now, compared with these shameless guys in Shamen Town, they are simply great people.

There were 1,378 people who died in battle, 2,356 people who were seriously injured, and 5,427 people who were slightly injured. How could there be such a big casualty? According to this calculation, there were about 10,000 people who died in battle and were injured. It is estimated that Shamen Town and Qingnipu participated in the battle this time. Could it be that Shamen Town either died or injured?

There are actually zeros, such as seventy-eight, fifty-six, and twenty-seven. Why didn't they say that they were killed in battle, seriously injured by 5,000, and slightly injured by 10,000? There must be a limit for blackmail. He was angry and estimated that Shamen Town probably increased ten times the number of casualties. One hundred and three were killed in battle, and two hundred and three were seriously injured. This number seemed to have a zinc spectrum.

But even though he knew the other party had blackmailed, what could he do? He came to the door by himself, and it would be a big trouble if the other party refused to blackmail. Now the other party was willing to blackmail, which means that there was still some discussion. Resisting the urge to leave in his heart, Zheng Jiezhi bit his lower lip tightly, and I endured it. He spit out two words, "I am very regretful and sorry for this. We are willing to compensate for it."

"Okay, okay, okay." Zhang Hong almost danced. When Li Yan asked him to extort ten times, he felt that it was a little too much. Unexpectedly, the other party endured it. "The pension in our Shamen Town has always been very high. We are kind-hearted. When we think of the orphans who died in battle, we have no parents, and we have no husbands since then, and we have to stay widows for the rest of our lives. Think of the elderly parents of the soldiers who died in battle, hey, the white-haired man gives away the black-haired man, and the life will be sad in the future."

Zheng Jiezhi now clenched his fists in his sleeves. He kept reminding himself to restrain himself and tolerate him. If the other person spitted on his left face, he would have to send his right face over.

"You know, our Shamen Town has always been a responsible military town. Brothers who died in battle have to be given pensions. Their parents' widows and orphans also have to bear the responsibility of supporting and raising. The elderly have to help die and their children have to help adulthood. This is a huge expense. In addition, those who have heavy responsibilities are not easy. They are broken hands and feet, and even blind and deaf. Not only can they not marry their wives, but they can't live anymore. They have to worry about half of their lives. We have to raise these people and pay allowances until they die. It will take 30 or 50 years, and it is another large amount of money. In addition, those who are slightly injured."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zheng Jiezhi couldn't help it anymore and quickly interrupted Zhang Hong's disc: "Zhang Bingcao, just report the number."

"Ah. Let me take a look!" Zhang Hong pretended to look through the account book and finally reported: "All the pension subsidies are 2.783,654 guan and 754 cents. Look, can you all report this money?"

A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of Zheng Jiezhi's mouth, and this time he really spitted it out. The lion spoke up, and the naked blackmail was too shameless. Even if there were 10,000 people who were seriously injured in battle, they would not be able to have a pension of more than 2.7 million yuan. Not to mention that only more than 1,000 people were killed in battle, even 10,000 yuan was killed. Each person had a pension of ten thousand yuan, but only 10,000 yuan. If it were five times more, it would be only 500,000 yuan. By the way, the family of this 10,000 yuan was subsidized by the average of five people, and each person would have another ten yuan. To calculate, the pension of one hundred yuan per person was only 1 million yuan. This trumpet dared to offer a price of 2.7 million yuan, and it was once again zero and balanced.

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Oh, 500,000 is not enough. Look, they still have old parents, young orphans and widows."

"One million!" Zheng Jiezhi was really angry this time: "Including your weapons damage and the compensation for the damage of shops and houses, we will compensate you for a total of one million yuan." He really didn't want to let Zhang Hong continue to talk. If he opened his mouth, the weapons damage and houses below were likely to be able to say millions. Duli Town has money, but money is not caused by the strong wind. No matter how rich he is, he can't stand the lions like them.

Li Yan coughed twice, stood up from the iron pedestal, and said, "It can be seen that Deputy City Lord Zheng is a cheerful person, so I'll just do it. This way, you can take one million from my soldiers' pensions, and I will divide the two houses of Li Lingfu, and the family will be 500,000. In addition, you will attack my Shamen Town and destroy our wharf, shops, houses, etc., and you will take another 500,000 yuan. As for the weapons we have lost and the warships that have been sunk by you, you will take one million, and my brother Zhongmou and I will take another 500,000 yuan."

"Of course, those are just compensation for losses. In addition, as punishment for you to provoke war for no reason, you will give out another 2.5 million. As compensation for our two companies. Five million is not a diluent price, you can consider it yourself." Li Guan said very directly.

Zheng Jiezhi was awakened by Li Yan's tough words and remembered that the purpose of this time was to be unable to eliminate the war. He immediately said with a bitter face: "General Ji Yu, Zhang Jianjun." He sighed and said, "Five million, this is five million guan. Not five million guan. No matter how rich Duli Town has, even if all the treasures are empty, it will not be able to raise so much money. You have no sincerity to offer this price."

"General Li Lingfu doesn't want to truce with you at all. He and you have been in a century of grudges. He has long wanted to take this opportunity to join forces with me to siege Duli Town. To be honest, I don't plan to truce with you at all. Although I, Li Yan, are young, but I am full of energy. If anyone hits me, I will never be polite and will definitely fight back. This general likes the words of the great man the most: Those who violate the power of the great man will be punished even if they are far away. Although my Shamen Town is not the Han Dynasty, if you dare to choose

If we provoke us, we will never let each other go." Li Guan said in a move, and pulled out a seven-foot long sword and cut down a corner of the old case with one sword. He said enthusiastically: "Go back and tell Wang Pu and your representatives of the family, Song Jieshuai of Ziqing Town and his family teacher Cui Sima, were very angry at the cross-border attack in Duli Town. Song Jieshuai has already ordered that a large army would be mobilized and will advance soon. My teacher will personally lead this army to support me and attack Duli Town together."

"I can also tell you. General Li Lingfu has already mobilized more than a dozen allies in southeastern Liaoning. They have agreed to send troops to form an army with General Li Lingfu, and attack Duli Town from north to south and south. Destroy you in one battle."

As soon as this statement was made, Zheng Jiezhi almost fainted. At this moment, he really didn't know whether Li Yan's words were true or not. Maybe it was just Li Yan's false intimidation, but he didn't dare to take that risk. If it was true, no matter how strong the castle in Duli Town was, it would not be able to stop many forces from uniting and fighting together.

"General, our Duli Town is really determined to truce. General, why bother to fight again? I believe that the generals and others can join forces to destroy my Duli Town, but you have to bear a huge price. This is not worth it. Let's sit down and make a deal here to eliminate the war."

"I have made an exception and offered conditions before, but you are unwilling to accept it."

"I am willing to accept it, but we really don't have so much money. Can you give in a little bit? We are willing to hand over Feng Changgui, the head of the Feng family in Duli Town, to you for disposal. In addition, at most we can take out one million guan of money, and there is no more."

"No, my conditions cannot be bargained." Li Yan's words made Zheng Jiezhi desperate. "However, you can also make some changes. It may not be rich. You can replace other materials with gold, silver, silk, even linen, silk, even swords, guns, spears, weapons, armor, even slaves, prisoners of war, livestock, cattle, sheep, war horses, mules and donkeys. It is iron ore, copper ore, as well as tin, lead, sulfur, saltpet, etc., as long as it is valuable, it is fine."

Finally, after half a day of negotiations, surrounded by the literary and staff of Zhang Hong, Zhang Chengye, Du Zhongwu, Cui Zhiyuan, Li Chun and other civilians, Lin Wei and Wang Chong, were often interrupted and wanted to stop the negotiations and sent troops to attack Duli Town, and Li Guan mediated several times.

Finally, a ceasefire agreement was negotiated. When Zheng Jiezhi signed his name on behalf of Duli Town, he looked at the black and white words and his bright red handprints, and his chaotic head suddenly woke up. Why did he sign such a contract in a daze? Especially when he looked at the cannibal agreements, it was a treaty that was completely powerless and humiliating. For a moment, blood surged up, and Zheng Jiezhi finally squirted out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground.

Li Guan looked at Zheng Jiezhi who was lying on the ground and sneered: "Let the two of you send him back to the inn."

After picking up the agreement in his hand, Li Yan couldn't help but feel excited and agreed. The final armistice agreement was even better than Li Yan expected. Duli Town compensated Shamen Town with one million guan and Qingnipu with 500,000 guan.

In addition to the compensation for money and silk, there is also a large number of material compensation. The agreement states that in the next month, Duli Town will have to deliver 1,000 war horses, 3,000 horses, 5,000 cows, 3,000 mules, and 5,000 donkeys to Shamen Town, and 100,000 sheep. In addition to these livestock, it will also be compensated for 5,000 strong slaves and 5,000 slaves in Shamen Town, 200,000 jin of iron, copper, lead, and tin. 100,000 grain stones, 300,000 shi of grass, 500,000 silk and 10,000 silk. 100 merchant ships with another 500 stones, and 10,000 spears and knives.

Zhang Hong converted the materials and found that these materials were worth at least 150,600,000 yuan. If calculated based on the market price, they could even be discounted to 2 million yuan. Adding to the previous one million yuan in cash, it was actually the same as the five million yuan that Li Guan had asked for at the beginning. Because of those five million yuan, Li Guan was only 3 million yuan, and the other two million were from Qingnipu.

Li Lingfu from Qingnipu did not come at all today. He said that he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself to kill them after seeing the envoys of Duli Town. So he simply continued to stay in the gentle village of Jianwu Pavilion, and all the negotiations were handed over to Li Guan to handle. Li Guan did not treat him badly. In the end, Li Guan received one million guan of money and nearly two million guan of materials. Qingnipu was also good, and he received five hundred thousand guan of money and more than five hundred million guan of materials.

Total, Li Guan earned three million yuan, and Qingnipu earned one million yuan, which combined four million yuan, which was considered a heavy slaughter of Duli Town. Four million yuan of money, grain and materials are not just about cutting off their flesh, but about cutting off their hands and feet. Even with a wealthy power like Duli Town, this is a considerable blow.

Zhang Hong's face was flushed, and he was still in the excitement of extorting a huge sum of money just now. They had given out more than one million yuan before. Now they have all made up for it all in Duli Town, and they have made a lot of money. However, he was also a little worried that the blackmail was so ruthless. Although Zheng Jiezhi signed the peace agreement, will Duli Town repent in the end?

"Don't worry, the possibility of retaliation is not high. But we can't be happy just now. We have to do a good job, otherwise they will really not pay the full amount of money." Li Yan chuckled. If you want to get this large sum of money, food and supplies, you have to make Duli Town think that Li Yan really wants to retaliate against them. So now Shamen Town has to continue mobilizing troops and make the momentum full, so that the other party can be under the pressure of being attacked at any time, so that the money can be delivered obediently.
