Originally, the people of Great Qi did not quite agree with the peace negotiation. Old Mu also felt that this was akin to losing without a fight.
Even though they had lost several battles before, he was a soldier and would never give up easily. No one could guarantee the results that followed, but he always felt that there was a possibility of turning the situation around.
But now with the peace talks, even though he felt uneasy at heart, since the Emperor had decided, he had to support the Emperor's decision.
However, during the peace talks this time, he was truly angered by that General Zha. As soon as they met, General Zha mocked Great Zhou, saying that from the Emperor to his officials, none were competent. He even said that as a defeated nation, Great Zhou should behave as such—pay reparations where needed and cede territory where needed.
The amount of silver, the land to be ceded, as well as cattle, sheep, and cloth, were all written down on three full sheets of paper.
