Xu Ren's question made Ye Mingquan speechless. If possible, Ye Mingquan really wanted to yell - Isn't that how everyone treated prisoners in the past! Prisoners are equal to slaves, and the lowest kind of slaves!
If we hadn't taken into account that there were also many captives in Anyang, those captives from the Great Xia Kingdom might have been dragged out to fill the hole long ago.
Just seeing the neat prisoner camp in front of him, even if Ye Mingquan had a thousand reasons, he couldn't say a word.
Seeing that Ye Mingquan didn't say anything, Xu Ren continued, "Killing the enemy on the battlefield is the behavior of a warrior. But killing and abusing prisoners is the behavior of a coward. Lord Ye, what do you think?"
What the hell!
Ye Mingquan was so annoyed. But he could answer the question irrelevantly: "Mr. Xu is indeed a wise man. I, a common man, could never think of this."
Xu Ren nodded affirmatively: "So, we will not abuse the prisoners. We will only go to your border from time to time to say hello. Let's communicate more in the future."
Needless to say, Xu Ren's way of speaking was obviously influenced by Li Xian.
Ye Mingquan was so angry when he heard this sarcastic remark - damn, the entire Huaihua County has been emptied by you, and you are still not satisfied! But at this moment, he could only squeeze out a trace of confidence, "My Cai State is willing to use 5,000 miles of mountains and rivers and 80 million people to exchange with Anyang."
"Alas, our Anyang only has a hundred miles of territory and 300,000 people, so we can only form one team. We can't compare to the State of Cai, which can form dozens of teams." (Although our Anyang is small, we are united. Your State of Cai is big, but the people's hearts are mixed)
The two of them talked like this, testing each other, attacking each other, arguing with each other, all the way to Anyang Mansion. During this section of the road, Ye Mingquan was forced into a dead end several times by Xu Ren and was speechless several times; when he arrived at Anyang Mansion, Ye Mingquan's face was obviously a little livid!
It was not until he saw Xia Qingqing that Ye Mingquan calmed down a little. "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Southern Kingdom."
Xia Qingqing asked directly, "Master Ye, are you here to negotiate or to explore our attitude? If you are just exploring our attitude, you can leave now."
Ye Mingquan was also firm: "I'm sorry, I'm not here to negotiate, nor to explore your attitude. Instead, I'm here to remind you to release the prisoners, apologize, return Huaihua County, and return all the people and wealth. Otherwise, the 300,000-strong army will destroy the city and leave the small Anyang barren!"
Xia Qingqing stood up and said, "Someone, show the guests away!"
Then, Xia Qingqing said to Xu Ren directly in front of Ye Mingquan: "Sir, send an order to prepare for war! Fight to the death with the State of Cai. Activate the emergency strategic plan and spread the formula of gunpowder throughout the world. In addition, contact Li Liang, the governor of Kaiping County next to it, and join forces to plunder Huaian County next to Huaihua County of the State of Cai..."
"Wait, wait, Princess, I was just joking!" Ye Mingquan was frightened by Xia Qingqing's tactics. Originally, seeing that Li Xian was not around, Ye Mingquan wanted to bully a woman; but Xia Qingqing simply blurted out various strategies.
Xia Qingqing looked at Ye Mingquan, who seemed a little scared, and turned away. "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Come on, send the envoy of the State of Cai to rest."
