Chapter 263 Forbearance
Mang Xueyue asked: "We can get 174 carts of supplies, the real murderer..."
"Wei Chen should be responsible for tracking down the real culprit!" Lu Kuanyi said sternly, "Wei Chen promises to find out the identity of the real culprit within 7 days and give an explanation to the state leader!"
"Okay!" Mang Xueyue was overjoyed when he heard this, "Since Mr. Lu is so confident, let's go ahead and do it. You only need to find out the identity of the murderer and find evidence that they robbed supplies. We don't need to do anything. Just ask Qin Xuan to send troops to deal with it!"
"They dare to rob His Highness the West King's supplies, and they deserve death!"
"Sir, we must not surrender!" A tall, fat man came up and said, "Qianzhou City is one of the 18 states in the world appointed by Taizu. Qin Xuan openly leading troops to siege the city is tantamount to rebellion. If we If we welcome him in Kaicheng, wouldn’t he become the laughing stock of the world?”
Mang Xueyue asked: "What if the 5 million troops outside attack Qianzhou City without opening the city gate?"
"Just repel them!" the fat man said righteously, "With the strength of our Qianzhou City, it is no longer a problem to deal with Qin Xuan's gang!"
Lu Kuan asked: "Mr. Yang said it easily, do you think Qin Xuan's 500 troops are all made of paper? They are all elite men. Compared with the power of our Qianzhou City, they still lack the firepower, but they are definitely not The power of a battle!”
"If we send troops to fight with them now, it will be unfair and unjust, and we will suffer huge losses. Even if we win, the losses will not be worth the losses!"
Speaking of this, Lu Kuan added a few words in a clear-eyed manner: "According to the inference of my subordinates, if we want to destroy Qin Xuan's 2 million army, we will have to pay at least 2.5 million troops. Just for 174 trucks of supplies, we have to It is simply stupid to pay such a heavy loss!"
Yang Jun sternly scolded: "Lu Kuan, what do you know? This battle is related to the prestige of our Qianzhou City. How can we be timid and fight?"
"Okay, okay, please stop arguing!" Mang Xueyue indeed shouted to stop the two counselors from the quarrel.
Then she said to the representatives of other families below: "What do you think, war or peace?"
"I think that since Qin Xuan is the patrol envoy sent by Lord Luo Yuexian, the King of the West, we should take the initiative to open the city gate to welcome him into the city. Although his way of doing things is a bit reckless, he represents the King of the West!"
"Yes, it is unjust and unjust for us to close the city gates and refuse His Highness the Western King's envoys to enter the city for inspection!"
"Let's open the city to welcome Qin Xuan into the city. We will take care of the supplies lost by Lord Xi Wang first. We also ask Lord Lu to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible!"
"Yes, let's open the city to welcome Lord Xiwang's inspection team into the city!"
Yang Jun's point of view is to maintain the dignity of Qianzhou City, but his point of view is not recognized by most family forces.
When family forces think about a problem, the first thing they consider is not the issue of shame, but whether this matter is beneficial to them?
If something is of benefit to me, I have to do it even if it means sacrificing some face. If something is detrimental to my interest, whoever wants to do it can do it. I will never do it!
Lu Kuan calculated that to defeat Qin Xuan's 5 million army, Qianzhou City would have to pay at least 2.5 million casualties.
Even if his conclusion is accurate, then who will be responsible for the 2.5 million troops lost in this battle? If Mang Xueyue were to bear all of it, Mang Xueyue's armed forces would be close to being wiped out.
Mang Xueyue would definitely not do such a stupid thing. Even if there was a war, she would have to let the family armed forces below send troops to the battlefield to act as cannon fodder.
In the end, the one who suffered the biggest loss was definitely not Mang Xueyue, but those family armed forces.
If we go to war, we will suffer losses, but if we negotiate for peace, we will only lose a small amount of silver coins, which is quite cost-effective.
Since everyone supported the peace negotiation, Mang Xueyue accepted the peace proposal and planned to go out of the city to negotiate with Qin Xuan.
Try to reach an agreement with Qin Xuan before the ultimatum arrives and resolve this dispute peacefully.
Half an hour later, Mang Xueyue led a group of officials from the city lord's palace to the city head.
Mang Xueyue sent a signal soldier to the opposite military formation to summon Qin Xuan to come to Qianzhou City for negotiation, but Qin Xuan told him: If there was to be a negotiation, let Mang Xueyue personally take the supplies out of the city to find him, because Qin Xuan had already He had been waiting for the blood moon outside the city for three days, and he was already very tired.
After learning the news, Mang Xueyue was immediately annoyed: "This is simply unreasonable. How can I say that I am also the lord of Qianzhou City appointed by Taizu, and his status is much more noble than his status as Qinxuan's inspector? He doesn't Even if you come to worship me, how dare you make such a big deal?"
Yang Jun immediately started to fan the flames: "I've told you a long time ago that Qin Xuan, a little thief with arrogant ambitions, can't give him a good look at all!"
At the same time, Lu Kuan cautiously advised: "Master, please don't be impulsive. Qin Xuan's current status is the inspector of the Western King. He is here to inspect on behalf of the Western King. We welcome the Western King in accordance with the rules." It is normal for His Royal Highness to greet him with the same standard!"
"Let's go!" Mang Xueyue said with extreme indignation, "I want to see how powerful this Qin Xuan is!"
A few minutes later, Mang Xueyue and others arrived at the gate of Qin Xuan's military camp. At this time, Qin Xuan had already sent Qin Fang to greet Mang Xueyue at the gate of the military camp.
Although Qin Fang has a biological body, her mind is still that of a robot.
She will only respect people who are stronger than herself, or friends who can benefit her, but will not respect weak people who are of no use to her.
After the meeting, Qin Fang did not have any interests and said coldly: "Our general has been waiting in the camp for a long time. Come in with me immediately. Everyone must put away their weapons before entering!"
"Arrogant!" Yang Jun sternly retorted, "Do you know who this person is standing in front of you? She is our state leader!"
"Forget it, let's put away our weapons and go in!" Mang Xueyue has now decided to have peace talks, so of course there is no need to put on airs.
After everyone put away their weapons, they entered Qin Xuan's military tent under the leadership of Qin Fang.
At this time, Qin Xuan was sitting steadily on a long bench, holding an exquisite glass in his hand!
Seeing Mang Xueyue stop vomiting, Qin Xuan asked casually: "Are you Mang Xueyue?"
Mang Xueyue looked around and found that there was not even a place to sit in the military tent. She and a group of her subordinates could only stand and talk. Qin Xuan's move was a complete humiliation for her.
