7813 Chapter 7811-

Everyone was silent, and Lin Yi was speechless as well. They were just about to say “Zhenghe” and now they’re retreating? can’t they have some backbone?

This time, I won’t use sneak attacks or ambushes. Why don’t we just fight face to face?

Lin Yi was speechless, and Wu yucao and the others were even more speechless. They’d been marching so fast, and they hadn’t even gone into a single city to repair-what was this for?

Was it to applaud and cheer for the 800 Guards unit soldiers?

At the very least, there would be an explanation for this when they returned, right?

Otherwise, when they returned to the capital and people asked how they fought in this battle, they couldn’t possibly say that they rushed over, ate a meal and took a nap, and then rushed back again, right?

“The messenger has arrived?”

Lin Yi didn’t have a choice-as the commander, it was best if he could win without a fight.

“I’m on the way. A Messenger Eagle first brought news! The messenger will probably enter the city at night. ”

The soldier was still on one knee, his head lowered as he answered Lin Yi.

This was the legend of him leading 800 cavalrymen to defeat 200000 enemy troops in the North!

Right now, all the soldiers in fire sickle city had respect for Lin Yi from the bottom of their hearts.

She even felt that it was a great honor to be in the same city as Lin Yi, let alone talk to him directly.

The soldier was excited and even a little proud. It was a good thing that he had run fast, otherwise he wouldn’t have had the chance to report to the commander!

“I know, you can leave now! When the messenger arrives, bring him over. ”

Lin Yi waved the soldier away and turned to his men. He pointed at Yuanbao.”Military counselor, since the other party has come to ask for peace, then I’ll leave the negotiation to you. Make them bleed!” He said.

“Understood. Don’t worry, Marshal!”

Jin Yuan Bao smiled and bowed. This wasn’t a difficult task, he was very good at it.

Especially when Lin Yi brought the 800 Guards unit, they had already made a name for themselves.

The two armies of seitong Commandery couldn’t defeat a mere 800 cavalrymen. Now that the garrison of the king’s city had 20000 men, it was understandable that Fei Du city would flee.

With such a huge advantage, it shouldn’t be called a negotiation. It should be more like cutting off the seitong Commandery’s flesh.

Lin Yi scratched his head. He wanted to have a military meeting to discuss how to deal with seitong Commandery, but there was nothing to discuss now.

With Jin Yuanbao’s shrewdness, Lin Yi believed that he would be able to get enough benefits for Hongshang Commandery, so there was no need to say more.

“Commander Ling, the Scout Camp can’t relax. In order to avoid the plan of seitong Commandery, continue to send people to watch them retreat.”

Lin Yi thought about it. The scouts couldn’t leave, and if the selenbronze Commandery was up to something, he’d just have to do it!

Ling Hanxue bowed and accepted the order. In fact, Lin Yi didn’t even need to order them to do so. The scouts were sent out to monitor the surroundings.

It was not only the case in Fei capital, but also in curl Flower City.

There was nothing much to discuss in the military meeting. Tonight’s plan was to reorganize. Everything could be discussed after meeting the envoy of seitong Commandery.

The messenger arrived at night, but Lin Yi didn’t show up-he only sent Jin Yuan Bao.

“Since the selencopper Commandery wants to make peace, they should show their sincerity!”

Jin Yuan Bao’s face was filled with arrogance and indifference. He looked down at the messenger from seitong Commandery and said,””Cede five cities on the northern border to our country and compensate for the military expenses of our Army in this war. This is the lowest line!”

The messenger of the SE Tong Commandery wiped his forehead with his sleeve and said,””My Lord, should we discuss this further? Military expenses can be discussed, but as for the city …”

On the northern border, the five most important cities of seitong Commandery were equivalent to the five dangerous passes to defend Hongshang Commandery!

If they were all ceded to Hongshang Commandery, the consequences …

To give a simple example, it was as if the sturdy gate and walls of your house were controlled by your malicious neighbors, and you were only left with the fragile door of your room to block them.

And then you have to constantly guard against neighbors with bad intentions, how can you sleep?

“If it’s a city, I only want five of you. Isn’t that too little?”

Jin Yuan Bao raised his head slightly, held his chin and thought,””Or you can also cede the five cities that are deeper in to us!”

The messenger of the selencopper Commandery was sweating profusely. Not only did you control the gate, but you also didn’t even leave the door open for people?

If they really did that, then the seitong Commandery would basically be defenseless against Hongshang Commandery!

In the future, if Hongshang Commandery wanted to send troops, they could directly go deep into the hinterland of se Tong Commandery.

“No, my Lord …”

The representative of the SE Tong Commandery kept wiping the sweat off his forehead.

The huge defeat on the battlefield had left him with no confidence to refuse Jin Yuan Bao’s unreasonable request with a tough attitude.

Asking for peace was begging for the other party to give him peace. Without the initiative in hand, what could he do?

Cutting off all cauldrons and sinking boats?

“If you’re not willing to give it to us, then we’ll go get it ourselves!”

Jin Yuan Bao did not give the other party a chance to catch his breath as he pressed on.”Or do you think that our commander can’t do this? Eight hundred cavalrymen killed one hundred thousand of your Army. Do you think that five or ten cities can stop our commander’s attack?”

The back of the Messenger’s clothes was wet, and after a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said,””The five cities on the northern front line and the military expenses for this war are the greatest sincerity of our country! However, I need the king’s approval, so I can’t completely agree. I hope that Milord can give me some time!”

Choosing the lesser of two evils, compared to losing ten cities, five was more acceptable.

“Impossible! You are the messenger of selenbronze Commandery, so you naturally represent the will of the Commandery Prince. Either you agree now, or we go and get it ourselves. There is no third option!”

“My Lord! Two days, please give us two more days! It will take at least two days for a Messenger Eagle to come and go. As long as the king agrees, the five cities can be handed over immediately!”

The envoys of selencopper Commandery could not give in. Two days would at least allow the country to be on guard.

Even if they didn’t agree, they could still get the cities on the northern border to prepare for defense.

This time, almost all the border cities were deployed. Now, their defense was extremely weak. If Hongshang Commandery counterattacked, they would not be able to hold on!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent an envoy to make peace so anxiously.

The emissaries they sent out were only the ones who besieged Feidu city. They couldn’t represent the Commandery Prince of seitong Commandery.

“One day! If you don’t give up five cities in a day, we’ll take them ourselves!”

Jin Yuan Bao pondered for a while and smiled arrogantly.””At that time, there might be more than just these five cities!”

The Messenger’s face was pale. He cupped his hands and left in a hurry.

Talk, there was no way to continue talking. Jin Yuan Bao’s attitude was so unyielding, what else could he say?
