Chapter 2119 Keep your word
"So, it is very likely that he will quit while he is ahead." Zhao Keduo continued, "If he has achieved his goal and has no intention of staying, it is reasonable for him not to offer some unpleasant conditions."
If Jiuyou were to make an exorbitant request, the two sides would have to send messengers back and forth to negotiate, and the war would continue at the same time. How much time and lives would that take?
King Ya said nothing.
Zhao Keduo saw his hesitation and said, "You can also wait for Mouguo's reply, but I think Mouguo's conditions will not be so lenient."
"No need." After he said that, King Ya made a decision, "Just agree to Cang Yan's request and let them withdraw their troops from Baiqiuyuan as soon as possible!"
Every day the Dragon God Army stays in the holy land is a day they trample on the reputation of the royal family of Ya State.
He wanted them to return Baiqiuyuan as soon as possible and cause less damage. Especially since the Bailong tribe was guarding the holy spring, he was 100% worried!
King Ya knew very well how hot-tempered Wanqisong was. If this old bastard got angry, he might secretly destroy the sacred spring of the Colin clan!
Besides, what Zhao Keduo said was right. The conditions offered by Mou State could not be more favorable than Cang Yan, so there was no point in waiting any longer.
This can't be considered a multiple-choice question at all.
He then convened a military meeting and announced his decision to the public.
The civil officials and military generals were a little surprised, but after seeing the conditions proposed by Emperor Jiuyou, they had no objections. King Ya then sent an envoy to the Dragon God Army to seal the contract.
The signing of the contract this time also clearly defined the border between Ya State and Cangyan to avoid future disputes.
The Great Emperor Jiuyou really kept his word and withdrew from Baiqiuyuan on the day when Ya Kingdom fulfilled its agreement, and retreated to the northeast into the territory of Cangyan.
They left even faster than they came, and they were gone completely in just two days.
Ya Ren rushed into the holy land and checked everywhere. He found that only trees were broken, and the holy springs and streams were safe and sound. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Cang Yanguo said that he "bases his thinking on reason and faith", and at least this time he really did it.
The great threat of the Dragon God Army has been eliminated, the capital is safe, the threat to the east of Ya State has been lifted, and they can finally free up their hands to fight against the Mou Army.
Don't look at the agreement as if it was signed easily. The Ya Kingdom also swallowed its teeth and blood for the whole process of the Dragon God Army's invasion. It lost six or seven generals and more than 46,000 people were killed or injured. In particular, the main army of the royal family suffered heavy losses. The royal family lost face because Baiqiuyuan was occupied.
If the threat from Mou State was not imminent, Ya State would not easily swallow its anger.
The army's morale was really low after this heavy blow. Yaguo could not care less and immediately transferred the army to the northwest to fight against the Mou army!

Bailie, the residence of the head of the family.
It had just rained in the early morning, and several horses were galloping past in the middle of the street, splashing mud and water from their horses' hooves all over the passers-by.
The horse galloped to the outside of the master's house. Lu Qing'an jumped off the horse without waiting for it to stop and strode into the house.
These past few days, Lu Zhensheng's right eyelid has been twitching non-stop. Today, just as he stuffed a tranquilizing pill into his mouth, he heard his eldest son yelling:
"Father, father!"
"Here. What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Qingan striding towards him, Lu Zhensheng's heart skipped a beat.
Did the South lose the battle?
He really didn't expect that after the Dragon God Army drove away the Ya Army in Bailie, they actually chased them into the territory of Ya Kingdom and rushed all the way south!
He had seen tigers roaring, but he had never seen one as fierce as this one!
He had discussed this with his eldest son before, and they both believed that Emperor Jiuyou wanted to use the excuse of aiding Bailie to avenge the invasion of the Western Shanjin Kingdom by the Kingdom of Ya.
From then on, the father and son paid special attention to the war reports from the south.
The Dragon God Army has entered the border of Ya Country;
The Dragon God Army successfully seized the banks of the Hulu River;
The Dragon God Army captured the important town of Zhikuang City!
The Lu family father and son went from being suspicious at the beginning to being surprised later.
In the territory of Ya Country, the Dragon God Army can also be so unstoppable? This is impossible, right?
Bai Lie knew very well the strength of the bandits in Ya Country.
Then, the Dragon God Army captured Baiqiuyuan, the sacred place of the Colin clan of the Ya Kingdom!
Lu Zhensheng spent a whole day digesting this information.
What is going on? Is it that the Dragon God Army is too strong, or is there something wrong within the country of Ya?
Ever since the Dragon God Army entered Bailie, subsequent events have become more and more magical and unreal.
The Lu family father and son have discussed this countless times:
Is the Dragon God Army really that strong? It has only been established for more than a year!
But no matter how conflicted the father and son were, they had to admit that it was a good thing that the Dragon God Army was winning battles again and again in Ya Country.
It is also a blessing for Bailie.
Lu Zhensheng was afraid of the Dragon God Army, but he was even more afraid of the Dragon God Army's defeat in the south!
Lu Qingbang shot King Ya's son to death, and Ya almost invaded Bailie's capital;
This time, the Dragon God Army directly marched into the heartland of Ya State, still under the pretext of aiding Bai Lie. If it is defeated, will Ya State vent all its anger on Bai Lie?
At that time, how will Bailie face the raging anger of the Ya Kingdom?
So when he saw his eldest son running towards him in a hurry, his heart was in his throat.
"Several major events!" Lu Qing'an seemed to be on a hot wheel. "The Mou army has entered Ya Country from Afuhai and joined the war!"
When Lu Zhensheng heard this, he covered his chest and let out a long sigh:
"That's good, it's really the blessing of our ancestors! That's good!"
Mou's army finally joined the war again, and took the initiative to attack the territory of Ya State. This war will probably not end until the whole country is turned upside down.
Oh, isn’t that the ideal state in Lu Zhensheng’s mind?
After a great war between Mou State and Ya State, Ya State will surely be seriously injured. Will it not dare to make any moves for a long time in the future?
This was not his wishful thinking, but a fact that had happened in the past.
"Also, the Dragon God Army has retreated."
"Huh?" Lu Zhensheng was stunned. "Is the fight over? They and Yajun, uh, who won in the end?"
"The specific situation is still unclear. We only know that after the Battle of Baiqiuyuan, King Ya sent out a large army, but the battle at Baiqiuyuan was not fierce." The intelligence over there was incomplete, so the overall situation was very vague, "Then, the Dragon God Army retreated."
"Did the Ya army pursue us?"
"Maybe not."
"How is this going?"
Lu Qingan said softly: "The detailed intelligence of the day of the Baiqiuyuan battle has just been transmitted. The Ya army was defeated. Four generals died, including the Ge brothers. One was seriously injured, and another general was captured. The entire army had more than 40,000 casualties."
These numbers made Lu Zhensheng gasp.
The fight was so fierce? "The Dragon God Army is so fierce?"
Before this, he only knew that the Ya army was defeated at Baiqiuyuan, but he did not expect this battle to be so tragic.
Logically speaking, Lu Zhensheng should be happy that the powerful enemy Ya State suffered such a heavy blow and its strength was greatly weakened.
But he just couldn't be happy.
Bailie already had two powerful neighbors, the Mou State to the west and the Ya State to the south.
The Ya State was robbing all day long, and the Mou State was demanding tribute all day long.
Although the Mou State did not send a hundred troops to plunder, the tribute it demanded was no less.
Now, a new emerging power is rising in the east.
