Faced with the threat, Jiang Ji had to suppress the anger in his heart and said, "Taiwei, it is impossible to cede land, but we can compensate Taiwei with something else."

Guo Jia sneered: "What else? Is there anything that can rival the supplies needed by millions of people?"

There is really nothing, Jiang Ji was speechless for a moment.

"We can use population to mortgage it." Jiang Ji had to speak out, wanting to use population to mortgage it. The last time he used population to exchange war horses. This time Cao Cao also wanted to use population to exchange for Liu Zhe without bringing a million troops into Yanzhou.

"Population?" Guo Jia's face was full of sarcasm, saying, "Is it like the last time? The old, weak, sick and disabled, treat us like fools."

The last time Cao Cao gave most of the population was the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, but it was still useful to Liu Zhe.

Jiang Ji didn't know that those populations were still needed. He felt a little guilty and couldn't help but blush. The last time Cao Cao was indeed a little unkind. The population he selected was rarely young and middle-aged, most of them were elderly and disabled people.

Jiang Ji understood that he cheated on others last time, but now he doesn’t want a population anymore.

Jiang Ji had a headache. The population is his trump card. Now that the trump card has failed, Jiang Ji was a little difficult for a while. He didn't know that this would be the only way to convince Liu Zhe.

Guo Jia continued at this time: "Mr. Zitong, my lord has shown the greatest sincerity, but you don't even have the most basic sincerity. It seems that you really think my lord is easy to bully. Since that's the case, I don't think there is any need to talk about it."

Guo Jia is ready to issue an order to expel guests.

"Wait, Taiwei," Jiang Ji hurriedly spoke, and he said quickly, "I came with the lord's greatest sincerity, and I hope the Taiwei will observe clearly."

"Sincerity?" Guo Jia asked with a sneer: "Where is the sincerity?"

"Taiwei, everything is easy to discuss." Jiang Ji didn't want to talk to Guo Jia because this Guo Jia was so hateful.

However, Guo Jia directly replied for Liu Zhe: "There is no need to discuss it. First, we are given one of Baimajin or Yanjin, and second, we are taking millions of aliens to Xudu to celebrate the emperor."

Damn, Jiang Ji was furious when he heard this. This damn Guo Jia, it was you last time, and this time it was you again. It was simply hateful.

In response to this, Jiang Ji ignored Guo Jia and looked at Liu Zhe, hoping that Liu Zhe could say something. Liu Zhe did not disappoint Jiang Ji. He only saw Liu Zhe slowly sit upright and speak slowly:

"Mr. Zitong, we have expressed our sincerity to the greatest extent, but I have not seen any sincerity of General Cheqi and Cavalry."

Liu Zhe did not call Cao Cao the name of the official name this time, but called Cao Cao directly, which fully demonstrated his dissatisfaction with Cao Cao.

Jiang Ji was nervous and knew that if his answer this time could not satisfy Liu Zhe, then the negotiations would have been ruined and he would return in vain.

"The Grand Marshal, General Che and Cavalry are worried that too many people will pour into Xudu, which will put pressure on Xudu. If a villain interferes with it and causes chaos, it will endanger the safety of the emperor."

Jiang Ji spoke very slowly, obviously while talking, thinking: "For the sake of the emperor's safety, the general of the chariot and cavalry cannot take any danger. The imperial ceremony after the emperor is a major matter for the court. The congratulations of the tribes outside the border can demonstrate our power, but their number is too large. Once something goes wrong and destroys the imperial ceremony after the book, it will only make people laugh at the world and lose all face."

"The Taiwei is the uncle of the son and emperor today, an important official of the court, and the Yanhou of the Han Dynasty. I think the Taiwei would not let such a thing happen, right?"

Jiang Ji was appointed as the special envoy by Cao Cao, so he was naturally not an ordinary person. Although he was at a disadvantage by Liu Zhe just now, after some thought, he returned to normal, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he was orderly.

At this time, Jiang Ji quietly flattered Liu Zhe and said, "The Taiwei can shock the clans outside the frontier and make them bow their heads and obey orders. It is really the best in the world, but I hope the Taiwei will start from the overall situation and persuade the clans to return to the clans."

When Jiang Ji said this, he took a deep breath before continuing: "Of course, the court will not forget everything that the Taiwei did. The General of Cheqi will also submit a letter to the court and express his merits to the Taiwei. He requested the court to grant the Taiwei the title of Guannei Hou. The Taiwei, this is the sincerity of the General of Cheqiqi."

After Jiang Ji finished speaking, his eyes stared at Liu Zhe with a burning look.

Guanneihou is the second only to the lords of the Han Dynasty, with his titles but no titles. It is generally a reward for generals with military meritorious deeds, with several households with fiefs and the right to collect rent and taxes according to the prescribed number of households.

The Han Dynasty had four major levels of meritorious titles: Marquis, nobles, doctors, and little titles. Liu Zhe's Yan Hou was just a small title, which was not as good as his Taiwei position. Therefore, most people called Liu Zhe, but the young one called Yan Hou. If the Taiwei was not called, they would call Yan Hou. Liu Zhe could completely treat this as an insult, and there was no negotiation to beat you.
