Chapter 204 Conditional Reopening Agreement

"What?" Prince Sade looked at Engor incredulously, "You said they not only removed half of the horses, but also returned my letter of apology? How is this possible?"

"That's the truth, Your Highness." Engor's face burst into excitement, "After discussion, they decided that they only need to pay them five thousand horses, and there is no need for an apology from Your Highness. At the same time, they also He said, Hengshan and us are not enemies, and there is no irreconcilable conflict. The reason why you asked Your Highness to apologize is actually to see the sincerity of our peace talks. Because of your wise decision, they have already felt our sincerity, so they decided Re-open negotiations with us."

When Prince Sade heard the words, he was happy in his heart, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and asked eagerly, "What are they going to talk about?"

"Your Highness, the second negotiation is very beneficial to us." Engor said excitedly, "In addition to asking us to withdraw from Xiayang Mountain, they are also willing to provide us with food, supplies, and even weapons and armor. As a deal, they I hope we can rescue the Central Plains people living on the grassland. Every time we rescue a Central Plains person, we can exchange certain supplies with them.”

"Rescue the Central Plains people?" Prince Sade asked with some doubts, "As far as I know, there are at least one million Central Plains people living on the grasslands. The Tianwu court doesn't care about them. Why do these people waste a lot of supplies? to save them?"

"Your Highness doesn't know. I've already found out some things. Those people on the opposite side are actually the separatist forces of the Tianwu Kingdom, and they don't obey the control of the court." Engor raised his mouth slightly and grinned, "They don't Yes, I know some Central Plains dialect, so I heard something. These people are a group of warlords occupying Hengshan, and the person who controls this force is a young official named Lin Yifan. Listening to what they said, it seems that the forces in Hengshan The population is insufficient, and there is an urgent need to expand the population, which requires us to recruit more Central Plains people from the grasslands to strengthen our strength."

"So that's how it is." Prince Sade suddenly realized, and after a little thought, he looked at Engor and said, "In your opinion, is this a good thing or a bad thing for us?"

"Your Highness, this is of course a good thing." Engor said quickly, "Now we are short of food, grass and supplies. Even if there is a fraud in it, we have to bite the bullet and swallow this bitter fruit. Only with the first batch of supplies can we Survive, otherwise, we won't last ten days."

"No, we are already weak on the grasslands. The war against the rebel slaves has already damaged countless elite fighters of our Khanate." Al was furious and strongly objected, "These [-] warriors were all saved by us with great difficulty." How can you be a pawn of that group of people and sacrifice your own people for some materials?"

When Prince Sade heard the words, his expression turned ugly, and he nodded in agreement, "Yes, the Hengshan Army on the opposite side has good intentions. They want to use some food and grass to force us to fight against the rebel slaves. They will get the greatest benefit without any damage. .Damn it, we almost fell for them."

Seeing the change in Prince Sade's attitude, Engor immediately said, "Your Highness, although the other party wants to use us as pawns, we can also use them in reverse. As long as we obtain food, grass and weapons, we can gain the morale and strength of the army." Recovery, when the time comes, we are fully capable of persevering on the grassland. Your Highness, there are broken soldiers of the Khanate everywhere on the grassland. What we need most now is to gather them and strengthen our strength. Only in this way can we survive on the grassland. We survived on the ground. We were unable to summon the rest of the troops because of food and grass. If we now have a lot of food and grass, we will be able to gather them together to resist the attack of the rebel slaves. In order to return to the Khanate and keep the most strength .”

After hearing this, Prince Sade couldn't help frowning, pondered for a moment, and his eyes flashed slightly, "Okay, we agree to their terms, as long as they can provide enough food, grass and weapons, we will disrupt the grassland again and take the opportunity to rescue those people. Central Plains people."

"Your Highness, absolutely not." Al was anxious, "They have bad intentions, we must not be fooled."

"This prince has made a decision, General Alfa. This matter will do more good than harm to us, so we have to do it." Prince Sade looked at him with firm eyes, and his attitude was very firm.

Soon, Engor went to Xiayang Pass again as a negotiating envoy, and negotiated with Lin Yifan and others, and finally the two sides finalized a Xiayang Pass agreement.In the agreement, in addition to the [-] horses for compensation, Prince Sade will sell another [-] horses, buy [-] stones of grain and grass from Hengshan, as well as [-] sabers, [-] horse bows, and [-] arrows. There are a hundred armors.At the same time, the Hengshan Army will trade with them in exchange for a bucket of grain per person from the Central Plains.

After the agreement was finalized, for the sake of prudence, the two parties agreed to meet at the gate and sign the agreement face to face.

In the open space 300 meters away from Xiayang Pass, a simple tent was set up. Not long after, Lin Yifan and Prince Sade finally met.

Prince Sade looked at the overly young Lord of Hengshan opposite, with a look of surprise on his face. Although he knew that the other party was young before, he did not expect him to be so young.So much so that he once suspected that Lin Yifan was just a puppet erected by Hengshan. It wasn't until the two of them had a conversation that he realized that this person had great authority and was definitely not a powerless puppet.

"Brother Lin, this king really admires you very much. I never imagined that you can be so powerful at such a young age. It is really remarkable." Prince Sade chatted with Lin Yifan in blunt Central Plains dialect, showing admiration in his words.

"Your Highness, the Prince, I'm honored. I was ordered by the imperial court to take charge of Hengshan's affairs, strengthen the border defense, and protect the people's lives. I dare not be praised by Your Highness." Lin Yifan replied with a smile.

Sade smiled slightly, and didn't care much about Lin Yifan's cover-up, "Now that you and I have reached an agreement, we will be allies from now on, and we shall fight against the threat of rebel slaves together, what does Brother Lin think? "

"That should be the case." Lin Yifan nodded approvingly, "The fake gold werewolves in the north are our common enemy, and we will recognize you as the orthodoxy of the gold werewolves. If you can return to the grassland in the future, then the north of Xiayang Pass is your From now on, you and I will form an alliance forever, how about non-aggression?"

When Prince Sade heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and finally he said slowly: "Okay, if we can return to the grassland, the south of Xiayang Mountain will belong to you, and we will not invade each other, and we will form an alliance forever."

"Haha, come on, let's drink this cup to the brim and celebrate the reconciliation and coexistence between the two sides." Lin Yifan raised the wine glass, looked at Prince Sade with a smile on his face and said.

"Okay, cheers!" Prince Sade gave him a deep look, and drank the wine in his glass.

After the two parties had a good drink, Lin Yifan was slightly drunk, playing with the empty wine glass, looking at Prince Sade, who was already drunk, and said with a smile: "Prince Sade, I heard that your father, Jinlang Khan The King Khan of the country is very old. With your talents, you must be highly valued by the King Khan, right?"

"Ugh!" Prince Sade hiccupped, looked at Lin Yifan with hazy eyes, and sneered, "Important? Hehe, my eldest brother is the most important prince of Father Khan. This time when he attacked the grassland, my eldest brother is Dongzheng." The commander-in-chief of the army, as for me, is just the commander-in-chief of the army along the way. In the future, when my father Khan passes away, my elder brother will be able to ascend to the Khan position smoothly."

"No way, your expedition to the grasslands has already failed, and you have suffered heavy losses. With such a big defeat, how could your father allow the eldest prince to ascend to the throne?" Lin Yifan narrowed his eyes, puzzled.

"Although this big defeat has shaken my elder brother's position, it will not make my elder brother lose the trust of his father Khan." Prince Sade frowned slightly, and said indifferently, "This battle was a last resort. Going south to Tianwu, looting countless wealth and slaves, its power will expand several times in the next ten years. In fact, our Eastern Expedition is to destroy the foundation of the grassland to the greatest extent, and let the rebel slaves bleed, so as to reach us. It's just a balance of power between the two sides. Winning or losing is not that important. At least in this battle, our goal has been achieved. The 10 people in the rebel slaves fell under our butcher knife, and countless cattle, sheep, and wealth were all destroyed. Even if the rebel slaves obtained a large amount of supplies from Tianwu Kingdom, it would probably take more than ten years to recover their vitality. Haha, in this way, if the rebel slaves wanted to go west, they might be powerless."

"It turned out to be like this?" Lin Yifan's face changed slightly. Only then did he understand the reason why the Xijin werewolves marched eastward on the grassland, and it was really fierce.However, this is good news for Hengshan.The worse the golden werewolf was, the better it would be for him.So he said with a smile, "Well, I, Hengshan, would like to thank you. If it weren't for your meddling, our Tianwu would have suffered even worse from the pseudo-golden werewolves."

"Everyone takes what they need." Sade shrugged, not paying attention.

"Prince Sade, your army is now scattered on the grassland. If your elder brother unfortunately dies in battle, who will your father Khan choose as the crown prince?" Lin Yifan ventured to ask after some consideration.

"What do you mean?" Prince Sade's face darkened as expected, he glared at Lin Yifan viciously, and shouted, "How dare you provoke the feelings between us brothers?"

As soon as these words came out, the people around immediately became tense, the atmosphere suddenly became stiff, and the murderous aura permeated the small tent.

"Your Highness misunderstood, I am not provoking, but worried." Lin Yifan forced himself to be calm, looked at him straight and said, "Prince Sade and I have known each other and signed this agreement. If you can become the crown prince, even Yes, then our agreement can continue naturally. But if it is your elder brother, I am really not optimistic about the future prospects, and I hope His Highness will understand my painstaking efforts."

Sade's expression softened when he heard the words, and he snorted coldly, "You just need to rest assured about this matter. Since I dare to sign an agreement with you, I will naturally have a way to convince my elder brother."

"That's good." Lin Yifan smiled slightly, "If there is any need in the future, His Highness can send someone to tell me, and I, Hengshan, will be His Highness' backup."

Sade fixed his gaze, looked directly at Lin Yifan for a long time, and then uttered a word, "Okay."

Soon, after the two sides signed an agreement, after the West Golden Wolf army left another [-] war horses, the whole army withdrew from Hengshan and stationed outside the mountain.Soon after, the Hengshan Army escorted out the first batch of supplies to trade with them.

The next day, nearly [-] Western Golden Wolf cavalry rushed northward.
