Chapter 130 The Prairie Tribe Compromise(1/2)
The expressions of many prairie tribe princes were extremely ugly. After seeing the power of the mysterious cannon, they clearly realized that they had kicked an iron plate this time.
Just as Du Ning said, the Yun State army has mysterious cannons and can push them all the way to the grassland palace.
In the face of absolute military power, hundreds of thousands of prairie cavalry are simply a bunch of waste.
However, they had no chance of peace talks.
Because Emperor Hongxuan has issued a declaration to the grassland people, and will use all the strength of the country to destroy the grassland people.
Now, it's the grassland people's turn to bear the pressure of the impending country's subjugation.
"Three days later, your Prairie Tribe soldiers and horses have withdrawn from five cities. We will send people to return Hu Chiyou to the Prairie Tribe. If you don't withdraw, we will throw Hu Chiyou's dog head outside your Prairie Tribe's tent.
, and then use mystical cannon to knock down the lost city."
After Du Ning finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to his camp.
He didn't care whether Hu Chikuo agreed or not. Their attitudes were not important, because no matter whether they compromised or not, they could not change Yun Guo's determination to recover the lost land.
This is the style of a great country!
People with great powers disdain to negotiate with their enemies!
Veins popped up on Hu Chikuo's face, and his teeth chattered.
As the noble prince of the grassland tribe, the person who will succeed the Khan in the future will be so arrogant and arrogant.
But now, Du Ning actually came to notify them with a supreme attitude, and he didn't care about the grassland tribe's attitude, he just came to inform them.
What a shame!
What a shame!
"Shu Zi is so outrageous!"
A grassland master couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly slashed at Du Ning with his knife.
"Hugh! Hugh! Hugh!"
Dozens of ancient swords shot through the air and killed the grassland master in an instant.
The grassland soldiers around him were all killed by ancient swords.
But Du Ning didn't even look back.
The princes were pale and trembling with fear.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Hu Chikuo said loudly: "However, our grassland clan can only exchange three cities for Hu Chiyou at most."
"You are not qualified to bargain. If one of the five cities is missing, Hu Chiyou will be killed immediately, and what awaits you will be the bombardment of the mysterious cannon."
Du Ning mounted his war horse and glanced at the grassland people opposite him, as if he were looking at a group of animals waiting to be slaughtered.
Because in a short time, these prairie people will be bombarded to pieces by mysterious cannons, and not even a bone will be left for these people.
After learning that the people on the grassland massacred the people of the Yun Kingdom, Du Ning also felt hatred for the people on the grassland and wished to destroy these things that were worse than pigs and dogs.
"You..."
Many princes were furious, clenching their fists one by one, and their eyes were about to burst.
Hu Chikuo almost fainted with anger. The dignified prince of the prairie tribe once boasted that the prairie tribe's cavalry was invincible. Even the army of the Yun Kingdom was not taken seriously by him.
From the bottom of his heart, he looked down upon the Yun people and the Yun army.
But now, Du Ning actually looked at them with that look.
It was the first time that Hu Chikuo was despised by others, and the people who despised him were the Yun people whom he had always looked down on.
The most annoying thing is that Hu Chikuo is not even qualified to bargain with Du Ning.
If he refuses Du Ning's conditions, Hu Chiyou will be killed by Yun Guo, which will be the greatest shame for the Huchi family.
Even if you die on the battlefield, you will be honored even if you die.
And if you were killed as a prisoner, your death would be worthless.
If Hu Chikuo is forced to compromise and give up five cities at once, it will be equivalent to letting the blood and sacrifice of many grassland soldiers be in vain.
This is also unacceptable to the grassland people and will become a joke.
But as a prince, Hu Chiyou had to save him, otherwise it would chill the hearts of other princes and demoralize the soldiers of the grassland tribe.
Hu Chikuo cursed at Hu Chiyou in his heart, why didn't this kind of trash die on the battlefield? It's impossible to save Hu Chiyou now, and it's impossible not to save Hu Chiyou.
For a while, it was difficult for Hu Chikuo to make a decision.
"Four cities, this is our grassland tribe's final bottom line!"
Hu Chikuo shouted to Du Ning.
But his reply didn't move Du Ning. It should be said that Du Ning didn't care about his choice at all.
"Let's go."
Du Ning waved his hand and prepared to leave slowly with his troops.
From the beginning to the end, Duning did not act as a negotiator, but as a proclaimer, conveying the attitude of the Yun Kingdom to the grassland people.
This made the grassland people angry, but they couldn't get angry.
They usually don't take the Yun people seriously because their cavalry are invincible and invincible.
Now that the Yun State has mysterious cannons to help, it is the people of the Yun State not to take the grassland people seriously.
"Okay! I promise you, I will give you five cities in exchange for Hu Chiyou!" Hu Chikuo gritted his teeth and agreed.
In short, Hu Chiyou cannot die. If Hu Chiyou dies, it will be difficult to consolidate the military morale of the grassland tribe, which will indirectly affect future wars.
"Do you mean what you say?" Du Ning asked.
Hu Chikuo was so angry that he almost vomited blood. As the prince of the prairie tribe, he was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, but he was actually questioned by the people of Yun State.
"A gentleman's words are hard to chase," Hu Chikuo said.
"How dare you call yourself a gentleman if you are just a mere fool?" Du Ning suddenly laughed out loud.
The people of the Yun Kingdom present all laughed. Du Ning's words were simply the greatest insult to Hu Chikuo and the others.
"You..."
Hu Chikuo's face turned green and red.
The prairie man was so angry that he pointed at Du Ning's nose and cursed.
Du Ning, however, seemed not to have heard anything and said slowly: "I believe you for now. If you dare to deceive us, next time our Yun Kingdom army will capture you, the prince of the prairie tribe, alive."
"If our grassland tribe gives you five cities back, will you really let Hu Chiyou go?"
Hu Chikuo said in a deep voice: "You can believe us, but why do we grassland people believe you? What if you break up the vote midway?"
"Then you can refuse to exchange the city. Don't say how wronged you are, as if we Yun people are forcing you." Du Ning said with disdain.
"This is too much!" Hu Chikuo said angrily.
"You said it yourself. You grassland people never talk about reason, only about fists. Whoever has the bigger fist will be the truth. Now, whether it is reason or fists, you can't beat me, so you have no choice.
In other words, no matter what choice you make, it will not make much difference to us, but to you, it is a matter of prestige and military morale." Du Ning hit the nail on the head.
The grassland man continued to curse at Du Ning, and even became a little angry.
Du Ning just thought they were incompetent and furious, going in with the left ear and out with the right ear.
Hu Chikuo felt that his old face was also burning. The words he said were actually returned intact by Du Ning. It was simply infuriating.
"Don't worry, we scholars mean what we say. There is no need to lie to you fools."
Du Ning said with a smile: "When we take back the five cities, Yun Guo will definitely let Hu Chiyou come back safely. We scholars will never chase after our words."
"Okay, then we have made an agreement, and I hope your country, Yun, can keep your promise."
Hu Chikuo looked helpless, and could only reluctantly give up the five cities and return them to the Yun Kingdom.
However, he also secretly made up his mind to lead the prairie tribe’s cavalry to fight back these cities.
They can defeat it once, and they can defeat it a second time.
Hu Chikuo didn't believe that even if the Yun Kingdom had some mysterious cannon, they would definitely be able to confront the grassland people head-on.
After the negotiation ended, the troops of both sides withdrew.
…………
After the grassland tribe returned, the princes were filled with indignation and very angry.
"That Du Ning is just a small official, but he dares to talk to us grassland people like that. He deserves death!"
"This is simply the biggest humiliation I have ever suffered in my life. A mere member of the Yun Kingdom dares to look down on our grassland tribe so much. It is so ridiculous!"
"Are we really going to give up five cities to save that good-for-nothing Hu Chiyou? Then wouldn't all my previous efforts have been in vain?"
"God is unfair! Why should Yun Guo be allowed to create a weapon like the Mysterious Cannon! I don't accept it!"
