Chapter 701 Looks more and more like a person

Ghost side.

Although the Guifang territory is now covered with snow, Gayao still did not stop marching.

Thanks to the captures they made along the way, their army was not frozen.

However, the cold weather still brought them a lot of inconvenience.

Tuohuan and Zulu have suggested several times that Gayao accept Chiyan's request for negotiation, but Gayao remains unmoved.

Now, their army is less than a hundred miles away from Guifang's royal city!

Facing their large army, Chiyan once again sent people to sue for peace.

This time, Gayao finally did not expel the people sent by Chiyan.

Gayao met Aktu in the big tent.

When Aktu was brought in, Gayao was cutting a steaming piece of mutton from the lamb leg with a knife and putting it in his mouth.

Next to her, He Asu stood holding a knife.

Aktu didn't know whether the mutton was delicious, but Gayao looked like he was enjoying it.

"I've seen Princess Gayao!"

Aktu knelt down on one knee and saluted Gayao.

Gayao raised his eyes slightly and looked at Aktu calmly, "You should call me Mrs. Gayao! And salute me with Daqian etiquette!"

As Jia Yao's words fell, Lian He Asu's heart was full of doubts, let alone Aktu.

Princess what does this mean?

Why would the princess take the initiative to talk to Aktu as Yunzheng's concubine?

Aktu glanced at Gayao suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, then knelt down on his knees and said loudly: "Little man Aktu, please see Mrs. Gayao!"

"Get up!"

Jia Yao put down the knife in his hand for cutting flesh, "The weather is getting colder and colder now. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly so that I can decide whether to spend the winter in your royal city."

Ga Yao's simple words put great pressure on Aktu.

He understood what Gaoyao meant.

If the benefits offered by Gui Fang are not satisfactory to Jia Yao, Jia Yao will lead his army to attack Gui Fang's royal city!

Aktu did not dare to be negligent, and did not make any detours with Ga Yao, and directly told the ghost side's peace talks plan.

First, the ghost will surrender to the great officials.

Second, the ghosts pay tribute to Daqian every year with two thousand fine war horses and two thousand taels of gold.

Third, the ghost ceded five hundred miles of land.

Fourth, the ghosts exchange gold, silver or other materials for the captives from Daqian. The specific price can be negotiated later.

fifth……

Aktu talked a lot eloquently.

But Gayao became less and less interested the more he listened.

Before Aktu could finish speaking, Ga Yao stopped him.

"Is this Guifang's sincerity?"

Jia Yao looked at Aktu coldly, "I think you should go back and prepare for war! To tell you the truth, I only have 50,000 soldiers and horses in my hands! There should be another 20,000 to 30,000 troops in your royal city, and the weather is... It’s getting colder and colder, and with just a few of us, we may not be able to capture your royal city!”

Listening to Gayao's words, Aktu couldn't help but groan secretly in his heart.

Now it's not a question of whether Gaiyao attacks or not!

But the inside of Guifang is in chaos!

If they work together to defend, the few men and horses in Jia Yao's hands will definitely not be able to attack Guifang's royal city.

But what Chi Yan was afraid of was that the royal city would be in chaos before Ga Yao and the others could attack.

Chi Yan may die in the rebellion at any time.

Moreover, all of them know that if they don't negotiate now, when spring comes next year, they won't be facing the men in Ga Yao's hands!

By then, the Beifu Army will definitely join in!

Once the Beifu Army comes over, they may not even have a chance to negotiate peace!

Qiu Chi is the best example!

Aktu tried hard to steady his mind and said with a smile: "Mrs. Gayao can also tell you your conditions. As long as I can satisfy them, we will try our best to satisfy them..."

"Okay, then I'll give you another chance!"

Jia Yao said and slowly stood up.

It is definitely necessary for the ghosts to surrender and pay tribute.

However, the amount of tribute must be increased by 50%.

At the same time, the ghosts wanted to open trade to Daqian and Beihuan.

In addition, the ghosts need to compensate Beihuan and Daqian for their losses in this battle, with a one-time compensation of 100,000 taels of gold, 100,000 sheep, 30,000 cattle, 10,000 horses, and 4 million dans of grain.

In return, Jiayao does not need Guifang to cede five hundred miles of land, just three hundred miles!

There was also the case of Guifang offering hundreds of beauties to Daqian, but Jia Yao also directly exempted Guifang.

As for the other bits and pieces of conditions, Jia Yao basically followed Gui Fang.

After listening to Gayao's conditions, Aktu only felt a "buzzing" in his head.

Forget it by paying tribute and improving your achievements by five points, but Jiayao actually wants Guifang to pay so much compensation at once?

Let’s not talk about livestock and grain. Just one hundred thousand taels of gold would drain Guifang dry.

One hundred thousand taels of gold, I don’t know how many noble houses I have to plunder!

"Mrs. Gayao's conditions are too harsh, and we really can't afford so many things!"

Aktu suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at it with a troubled face.

"You have to know that I have already given up two hundred miles of land to you!"

Ga Yao stared at Aktu with a calm expression, "You can completely exchange these things for two hundred miles of land! If you really can't get it, then we will get it ourselves!"

Speaking of the latter part, Ga Yao's momentum suddenly increased.

Her tone gradually became colder.

Feeling the chill emanating from Ga Yao's body, Aktu couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.

After a long time, Aktu said bravely: "Please give Mrs. Gayao a few days. I need to return to the royal city and inform the king of my wife's conditions..."

"can."

Jia Yao nodded and suddenly changed the subject, "My patience is limited, don't make me wait too long!"

"Yes Yes!"

Aktu nodded repeatedly and excused himself to Gayao.

Soon, Aktu exited the big tent and hurried back.

"Princess, why do you use your identity as Yunzheng's concubine to negotiate with Aktu?"

It was only then that He Asu asked Jia Yao.

"Do you think it is the identity of the concubine of King Jingbei that matters, or the identity of the princess of Beihuan Supervisor?"

Jiayao sat down again and invited He Asu to come over and eat mutton together, "They are afraid of Daqian, not Beihuan! If I want to gain more benefits, I must take advantage of Yun Zheng's power!"

Of course, it is impossible for them to attack Guifang's royal city with this small force.

Only by leveraging Yunzheng's momentum can we put the greatest pressure on Guifang.

He Asu suddenly understood and asked excitedly: "Princess, do you think the ghost side might agree to your conditions?"

"Of course it's impossible to agree."

Jia Yao smiled and said, "If the price is high, why don't you just sit down and pay back! If the ghost can agree to half of the compensation I want, that's pretty good!"

Why is he a wealthy and powerful person when he is a ghost?

The compensation she wants can only be paid if the devil can get it all!

She was even prepared for the ghost to only accept 30% of the price she offered!

Looking at Jia Yao with a smile on his face, He Asu couldn't help but feel a little lost.

He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he'd seen Ga Yao smile so happily.

After coming back to his senses, He Asu couldn't help but smile and asked: "Princess, have you noticed that you are becoming more and more like a person?"

"Yunzheng?"

Gayao guessed the answer immediately.

"Ah."

He Asu nodded.

Jia Yao smiled, shook his head and said: "It's not that I am becoming more and more like Yunzheng, but that he and I are the same kind of person..."
