Chapter 1739 Blackmail

"What's the matter?" Osseus subconsciously had a bad premonition.

"Just just received an urgent report from the West, the 300,000 main force led by Ledellon was annihilated by the Qin army west of Uyanna!"

The two were stunned. Osseth thought he had heard it wrong, "What did you say? They were all annihilated? Didn't the Qin army have only 150,000?"

The messenger replied: "The Qin army is indeed 150,000! All the main forces of Ledelon's troops were annihilated, and only a few thousand people escaped!"

The two of them were stunned for a while, and Fran asked anxiously: "How is Ledellon?"

"Lederon and thousands of remaining troops fled back to the Uyanna Fortress! Then he retreated to Sanchi with the Uyanna defenders!"

Fran exchanged a look with Osses, Fran said in shock: "I didn't expect Ledellon to suffer such a crushing defeat so soon!" Then he asked the messenger and said: "The Qin army's losses are not small, right?"

The messenger hesitated for a moment and replied: "According to the intelligence, the army of the two sides confronted head-on and fought fiercely for half a day. The Qin army wiped out 300,000 Ledelon at the cost of losing only a few thousand people!"

"What!?" the two of them shouted out of their composure. If they were shocked when they heard the news of the collapse of Ledelon's 300,000 main force just now, then they were extremely shocked now, just like seeing the end of the world. Even if they dreamed that there would be an army that could create such an amazing record with absolutely counter-trend. This record could no longer be said to be amazing, but a legend and a miracle.

It took a long time for the two to come back to their senses. Osseth took a deep breath and glanced at Fran, "It seems that your previous judgment is correct!"

Fran suggested: "I think there is no suspense in this war anymore. We should contact the Qin Empire as soon as possible to see their intentions! If possible, it is best to form an alliance with the Qin Kingdom!"

Osseth frowned and asked, "Will the Qin Empire form an alliance with us?"

Fran thought: "The Qin Empire has many protectors, and I think if we show enough sincerity, we should be able to obtain equal status!"

Osseth hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Fran, who do you think can be an envoy to the Great Qin Empire?"

Fran thought, "This envoy must be familiar with the Qin Empire and is very loyal to the kingdom! I think my nephew should be suitable!"

Osseth nodded, "Okay, let Fert go on behalf of the Kingdom of Qin to serve as a mission to Qin! Tell him that there are two tasks for his trip. One is to find out the intentions of Qin, but to express our kindness to them! As for the gift, I will make someone prepare, and you let Fert come here this evening!" "Yes!"

His eyes turned back to the Wuyanna Fortress. After the Qin army entered the Wuyanna Fortress, they did not continue to advance eastward.

Gele paced back and forth, looking anxious. Since he entered the Qin army camp, he has not met with him for peace. He does not understand what this means! If the Qin people have no intention of negotiating, they can kill him or drive him away, there is no need to put his unimportant task under house arrest. This only means that the Qin people should have somewhere to use him.

While Ger was restless and thinking, a Han man in scribes' costume walked into his tent.

Ger was stunned and asked quickly, "Your Excellency ~~~?"

The visitor smiled and said, "Sima Yi, the chief of the Western Regions!"

Ger's eyes lit up. He knew that the smiling man in front of him was a powerful figure in the Qin Empire. "Sir, on behalf of Malva, I will express my sincerity to peace to you!"

Sima Yi sat down and asked with a smile: "Do you feel resentful that we have never met you?"

Geler said angrily: "Sir, I don't know what your Qin Empire plans! If you want to carry out the war to the end, kill me! But if you want to end this war, then let's talk carefully!"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Don't be anxious! Ledelong's main force was lost. With his current military strength, it is impossible to stop us from doing anything! ~~"

Ger frowned.

Sima Yi changed his subject, "But our Great Qin Empire is not a militaristic man. We can agree to Ledelong's request!"

Ger couldn't help but be stunned. He thought he had heard it wrong. "Sir, don't know what you want to get?"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Liert promised us to open up national trade and promised that the merchants of our Great Qin Empire would want the best treatment!~~~"

Gler hurriedly said, "We can do it too!"

Sima Yi shook his head, "Not only do you have to agree to this, we have a request!"

"Sir, please tell me!"

"My businessmen have priority in mining in Malva! Don't worry, this does not include gold mines!"

Ger breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "I will definitely bring back the request of the Qin Empire to Your Majesty! I think Your Majesty will agree! Then your army~~~"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "You have half a month to consider!"

"Thank you, sir, I will return to Sanchi immediately!"

"Zhongda, we can completely wipe out Malva with our strength. Tell your Majesty!" Ma Chao said unwillingly.

Sima Yi smiled, "Meng Qi, the territory currently controlled by our Great Qin Empire is already very amazing. Not to mention unprecedented people, I am afraid that no one will surpass us in the future! ~~"

Ma Chao nodded proudly, "That's it! The empire stretches for tens of thousands of miles from east to west, south to north, and I am afraid that the countries in ancient myths are not so brilliant!"

Sima Yi nodded and frowned, "Although the territory is vast and glorious, it also brings some problems that cannot be ignored! How to effectively control and govern the land of these principles in the Central Plains for a long time and effectively, and how to govern those nations that are trembling with fear and hatred of being conquered? If these problems are not handled well, this glorious world will be just a flash in the pan!" Then he sighed: "Your Majesty has wise and wisely seen this hidden crisis, so Your Majesty decided to stop the major national policy of conquests before the new year! What we need to do now is to get the greatest benefits for the empire, rather than adding new burdens to the empire that is already heavily burdened!"

Ma Chao frowned and nodded, and smiled and said, "What you said makes sense! But is this trade agreement and mining agreement too cheap?"

Sima Yi laughed and said, "It's the case on the surface. In fact, with the powerful economic strength of the empire, we can seize unimaginable huge wealth from it! To put it bluntly, the whole Malva is just our coolie!"

Ma Chao couldn't help but say, "Zhongda, I suddenly feel that you are very sinister!"

Sima Yi was stunned and smiled bitterly. What could he say? He couldn't say, "It's not my sinister, but His Majesty is the insidious one."

That night, Sima Yi found Lelt, King of Malva again. At this time, Lelt was about to see Sima Yi, looking very anxious.

When Liert saw Sima Yi coming in, he asked anxiously: "Sir, have you reached any agreement with Liedellon?"

Sima Yi did not hide it and nodded.

Liert turned pale and said in surprise: "Are you going to betray us?"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Your Highness is a little restless! It's not what you think! If you really want to betray you, I won't come!"

Thinking Sima Yi’s words were reasonable, Liert felt relieved, “Sir, what’s going on?”

"Your Highness is a little restless! I'm here to explain this to you! I heard that you Malva fight against the Three Kingdoms of the South all year round?"

Lie nodded, "What does this mean by sir?"

Sima Yi smiled, "According to reliable information, the Southern Three Kingdoms coalition is actively mobilizing, and I think they must have wanted to take this opportunity to take action!"

Liert, Kikan was startled, Liert looked a little panicked. Kikan asked: "It seems that the reason why the adults reached an agreement with Liedron was because of this matter! But I wonder what agreement has the adults reached with Liedron?"

Liert quickly looked at Sima Yi, looking concerned.

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the true ally of our Great Qin Empire is still you, and we will never trade allies in exchange for profit! The reason why you were not present is just worried that both of you will be embarrassed! The agreement we reached with Ledelon is to "recognize Ledelon's identity as a prince and guarantee others' personal status, fiefdom and property, but he must publicly issue an announcement in China to repent for his mistakes some time ago. Of course, he will also withdraw from Sanqi and return to his fiefdom!"

Hearing Sima Yi say this, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Liert apologized: "I was so rude just now!"

Sima Yi smiled indifferently and said, "Your Highness is so serious! This is also human nature!"

"Thank you sir!"

"Your Highness, you are welcome! I think you should contact your ally Osses as soon as possible to determine your strategy for the fight!"

Liert, Kikan nodded. Liert said eagerly: "Since we Malva is the protector of the Great Qin Empire, please ask the Great Qin Empire to protect our safety!"

Sima Yi nodded and said, "This is natural! But you cannot put your hope entirely on us! You must know that the principle of our Great Qin Empire participating in the war is that when allies are about to be unable to resist it! In other words, if you can deal with it yourself, you will not participate in the war!"

The two nodded.

Sima Yi said: "I will send envoys to the Three Kingdoms in the South. Maybe this matter can be resolved peacefully!"

Ger rushed back to Sanchi day and night.

"What did the Qin people say?" Ledelon asked impatiently.

Gele was about to tell the result of the peace talks with the Qin people.

The needles fell in the hall and the atmosphere seemed a little weird. Lederon, who was the main person, looked complicated. Gle was not surprised by this.
