Chapter three hundred and sixty fifth alliance under the city
Laughter came out, but Shen Ao ignored it, but the first person to make him angry was Xue Fei. This person who was usually very cold and rarely talked showed her past style, without saying a word, her body suddenly felt... He came to Oyadan's side lightly, then stretched out his right hand, gently lifted up the armpit, and then the two of them quickly fled into the distance.
Oyadan was taken away like this. How could the hundreds of barbarian female soldiers who followed him agree? Then they all showed their swords and looked like they were about to fight.
This time, Shen Ao didn't need to give orders. Shi Lei, Feng Xun and others also gathered around with their guards. Shen's small crossbow stared at these barbarian female soldiers with a silver light, not showing any pity for these women because they were women. It seems to be saying that if you move arbitrarily, the crossbow arrow will be unsheathed, which will result in blood splattering on the spot.
The two sides were tense for a moment, and the air seemed to freeze. The two sides continued to confront each other, making everyone even breathing cautiously.
When Shen Ao turned around, he saw exactly this scene. He didn't expect that Xue Fei would behave like this, but he couldn't say anything. He couldn't fight and couldn't bear to talk, so Shen Ao could only believe that Xue Fei had Looking at the overall situation, I don't know what to do with this barbarian princess.
The situation was still at a standoff, with sweat on both sides' nervous necks. I don't know how long it took, but the barbarian princess finally came back. Compared to when she left, her face looked a little brighter. A piece of white gauze made it difficult to see her expression clearly. Only excitement could be seen in her exposed eyes.
"What are you doing? We are here to negotiate, not to fight. Put away your swords." As soon as Oyadan appeared, he spoke to a group of female soldiers under his subordinates, then turned sideways and looked at Shen Ao and said: " Lord Zhongguo, but I don’t know if we can continue the negotiation?”
"Of course." Oyadan's eyes became more calm and less arrogant. Shen Ao didn't know why there was such a change. He couldn't help but glanced at Xuefei who was following him, and saw the same in her eyes. Without any other expression, he simply didn't think much about it and focused on the negotiation.
The negotiation was held in the small courtyard where Shen Ao lived. Apart from Shen Ao and Oyadan, there was only Xuefei as a bystander. Things went very smoothly, and it could even be said that Shen Ao was surprised. Somewhat surprising.
As the representative of the barbarians, Oyadan took the lead in making concessions. He expressed his willingness to coexist peacefully with Daqian. He would also give up the territory he previously occupied in Xinzhou and promised not to send troops to Xinzhou to maintain peace on the border.
Although Fei Qingsong listened to Shen Ao's suggestion and took the opportunity to take back the lost territory in Xinzhou this time. But it is still a good thing for the barbarians to have such an attitude.
Next, Oyadan said that he was willing to redeem all the tribesmen. The barbarians were short of money and food, so it was unrealistic to exchange money and food for them, but they were willing to exchange horses for silver, which showed enough sincerity.
Daqian has always been short of horses due to factors such as terrain and environment. This is a well-known thing. For Daqian, whether it is money or food, it is far less valuable than horses. Oyadan made these decisions. , clearly helping Shen Ao.
In reciprocation, Shen Ao also said that he would give up Xiucheng and return it to the barbarians. However, Su Duishana City could not be given up. He had already promised Bahan's troops to give up that city to them. In the future, Su Duishana City and Xiucheng will become the border area between the two ethnic groups.
Shen Ao raised the hope that the barbarians could coexist peacefully with Bukhan's tribe and not resort to fighting. If the barbarians insisted on going their own way, it could not be ruled out that Shen Ao would lead troops to attack the barbarians again.
In this regard, Oyadan agreed after only thinking about it briefly. She said that the barbarians were actually peace-loving, but because of limited resources, they had no choice but to use weapons in order to develop and survive. In the future, they could fight with Tahan When doing business, everyone coexists peacefully and develops together.
When he said this, it was already a scene where everyone was happy. The fact that things went so smoothly was beyond Shen Ao's expectation, which made him have a good impression of Oyadan. When he looked at her, there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes. This change in Oyadan's eyes naturally made her extremely happy, and she said that it was Sister Xue Fei's idea that was the best.
No one knew that Xuefei called Oyadan aside and said only one thing, that is to warn Oyadan that if she wants to become Shen Ao's woman, she must think about him and consider everything for him. Only in this way can we gain goodwill and even sincere feelings.
Xuefei bluntly saw Oyadan's inner thoughts of liking Shen Ao. She also made the decision and said that as Shen Ao's woman, she could consider accepting Oyadan, but everything would depend on her performance.
Hearing that she hopes to become Shen Ao's woman, Oyadan is very happy. Of course, she agrees to some of Xue Fei's next requests. For example, wearing a piece of white gauze first is a change in image. Use According to Xuefei's words, a woman must first respect herself in order to attract the respect of others. Although wearing a white veil may not mean anything, it at least proves that she respects herself and that she is transforming from a barbarian woman to a Han woman. This is a matter of attitude.
The image changed first, which can attract goodwill. At the same time, Oyadan also made a series of concessions. Although it seems that the barbarians suffered a loss by exchanging war horses for prisoners of war. But in fact, they still made a profit. After all, war horses have a price, and people Priceless is not.
Shen Ao has tens of thousands of barbarians in his hands, including many elite barbarians. In comparison, just exchanging some beasts is worth it no matter how you look at it. Not to mention, Shen Ao also has Promise to return Xiucheng to the barbarians.
In this way, you have both dignity and face, and others will not look down on the barbarians because of this, and the goal is achieved. You can also have an explanation when facing your father and other tribesmen.
In order to fulfill Shen Ao's idea, Oyadan made a series of concessions, and Shen Ao naturally reciprocated. In this way, the negotiation process went very smoothly. After the two parties reached a verbal agreement, Oyadan Dan was about to leave Xiucheng to report to his father. Such a big event was obviously not possible without King Man's permission.
"Go early and come back early. Next time you come, the young master and I will treat you to dinner." Xuefei spoke again, not treating Oyadan as an outsider, and even added Shen Ao to the list.
"Okay, Sister Fei." Oyadan agreed happily, and then jumped away like a little girl.
Seeing this change in Oyadan, Shen Ao was confused. When he wanted to ask Xuefei to find out what happened, the woman shook her head and had no intention of speaking. Shen Ao was forced to express what was in his heart. The doubts were suppressed. In fact, he did have too many things to do. If everything went well, the day would not be far before he would move back to the imperial court, and some things should be prepared.
The first thing is to build the carriage.
When this trip came, Shen Ao brought fifty carriages with a lot of things. Most of them were grain and silver for the army. Now that everything is going well, of course the silver and grain must be kept in exchange for more that he needs. Things, or things that are rare in Daliang City, are also a way for businessmen to make money.
The second thing is to invite Ayuda, the chief of the Bukhan tribe, to come to Xiucheng. The next agreement also involves the Bukhan tribe. It is a tripartite agreement, so naturally the chief needs to come in person. , and signed an agreement together after receiving his approval.
The third thing is to send someone to notify General Fei Qingsong and ask him to stop as soon as he sees fit. Don’t expect that just after you have reached an agreement on peaceful coexistence with the barbarians, you will suddenly send out a large army to conquer the barbarians. All the gains were lost.
Although Shen Ao didn't think that Fei Qingsong had the courage to take the initiative to provoke the barbarians. For him, it was a good thing to recover the lost ground. But everything is inevitable, and you still have to say hello. .
The last thing is how to report to Emperor Qianwen.
Speaking of which, Shen Ao reached an agreement on peaceful coexistence with the barbarians without asking for instructions, which was an act that exceeded his status. I wonder if the officials in the court would impeach him if they knew about it.
But Shen Ao won't care so much. What he wants is for the barbarians to bow their heads, and for peacetime on the border not to mention marriage matters, as long as it doesn't involve themselves. The courtiers have their mouths growing on them, so they must be willing to say something. What, how can I control it myself?
But after all, he still made the decision without permission. Even if he won the battle, he still had no power to make any agreement with the barbarians on behalf of Da Qian. If Emperor Qian Wen punished him for this, it would be hard for him to shirk it, so this deal was How to write the content is worth studying. The most important thing is to make Emperor Qianwen approve without punishing one's own sins.
While Shen Ao was thinking about what he was going to face, Oyadan also returned to the barbarian camp, met with his father, and proposed negotiations with Shen Ao and some of the conditions she agreed to.
The result was not very satisfactory to the Barbarian King. After all, paying the war horse to Shen Ao was considered a sign of the Barbarians bowing their heads. This was a huge psychological blow to the Barbarians who had always had a strong sense of self-esteem.
But thinking about it, this seems to be the best way to solve the problem at the moment. Not to mention that there are so many barbarian prisoners in Shen Ao's hands, just say that this fire has burned away the barbarian king's desire to win.
Before the monstrous fire could not be broken, the Barbarian King did not dare to send troops to Xiucheng easily. At most, he was just deploying troops from the barbarian capital, but what else could he do besides surrounding Shen Ao? On the contrary, he had to pay a lot of precious resources. of food, otherwise the captives would be in danger of starving to death.
In that case, the Barbarian King will only be in a dilemma. Instead of that, it is better to negotiate peace with Shen Ao now, at least in exchange for the prisoners, he can also get the city.
