Chapter 2118 The Conditions of the Nine Nether Emperor
How can they let it go?
"Some frictions and conflicts on the border are not normal. There is no conflict without casualties. How many countries in the world can be good neighbors?" Zhao Keduo didn't care. "Besides, Emperor Jiuyou actually wants to negotiate terms with you."
King Ya was startled: "How can you tell...Oh!"
As soon as he said this, he understood: "Yes, the two prisoners of war."
What the prisoners of war could see and hear in the holy place was decided by the enemy. Why did the enemy discuss the destruction of the holy place in front of them?
So the Dragon God Army let them go and gave them a fierce look, which was both a threat and a codeword:
If you don't agree to our conditions, your holy land's spiritual spring will be in danger.
The premise is "conditions", so what Zhao Ke said was right, Jiuyou wanted to talk.
Since Lang has feelings...ah, since the enemy has no intention of really fighting to the death, there is a lot of room for maneuver.
King Ya immediately issued an order:
At the same time, command arrows were sent to the holy land of Baiqiuyuan and the northwest Mou army camp, requesting a suspension of fighting and the start of negotiations!
From a geographical point of view, the capital of Ya State is closer to Baiqiuyuan, so the Dragon God Army naturally received the order from the Ya people earlier than the Mou Army.
This was also the third time that Yaren fired an arrow.
The previous two times, no response was given, but this time there was finally a response, and it was written by Emperor Jiuyou himself!
The receipt was just a piece of light paper with a few lines of words on it. King Ya took it in his hand and subconsciously turned it over to see if there were any words on the back.
No.
Apart from a few words of respect, the requirements put forward by the Nine Nether Emperor were written on half a page and summarized as follows:
The first one was that in order to protect Bailie from being plundered, the border area between Yaguo and Bailie, namely Afuhai and Zilin, was assigned to Cangyan. After that, Yaguo and Bailie no longer shared a border.
The second article is that the Ya Kingdom must immediately return the people looted from Bailie, and at the same time, it must return all the property looted from Bailie over the years in one lump sum and convert it into a certain amount.
Article 3: The warring parties shall release prisoners to each other.
That’s it, just these three messages, so brief that King Ya suspected that Jiuyou had sent the letter before finishing it.
Logically speaking, the Dragon God's army occupied Baiqiuyuan and approached the capital of the Ya Kingdom, and the Mou army advanced from the northwest. The Ya people were threatened by attacks from the east and the west, and the situation was very favorable for Jiuyou.
If King Ya were in Jiuyou's position, he would have to open his mouth wide and bite off a large piece of flesh and blood from his opponent.
But the three conditions offered by the Nine Nether Emperor were too, too...
It's so damn reasonable!
King Ya was so angry that his hands were shaking. If Emperor Jiuyou had sent these conditions to him earlier, he would have agreed to them long ago. Would it have taken so long for both sides to waste time?
Let's talk about the cession of land first. Afuhai and Zilin are connected together. From the map, it looks like a wedge, cutting between Yaguo and Bailie. As long as Cangyan occupies this wedge, Yaguo will no longer border Bailie.
The area of these two pieces of land is not large. Although there are slopes, valleys, and grasslands, 70% of them are mountains. As a border, they have the geographical advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, but their economic value is not high.
Speaking of border defense, King Ya looked at the map and sighed. The Kingdom of Ya borders Cangyan to the east, and the border line is very long.
With or without these two places, the eastern border defense of Ya State will not improve.
So, it is not impossible to give these two places.
In the past, as Ya State grew stronger, it absorbed many tribes and annexed several small countries. The areas near the Golden Plains were like this, and the land often changed hands. For Ya State, land was originally a bargaining chip and could be put on the negotiation table. The last battle in the Western Golden Plains was that the Dragon God Army insisted on "not giving up an inch of land", which surprised it.
Let’s talk about the second condition.
For the Ya State, what's the big deal about returning the looted wealth and population?
Even the money and goods that Cang Yan asked for on behalf of Bai Lie were only converted into a reasonable figure. It was obvious that he was looking for Bai Lie to reconcile the accounts and he did not ask for an exorbitant price.
Cang Yan did not threaten the holy land of Ya Kingdom to demand war reparations. King Ya was already prepared to bleed heavily, and was happy to see this.
"Why is Cang Yan helping Bai Lie like this?" He pointed at the words on the letter and asked, "Could it really be because of this sentence in his letter: 'Cang Yan established the country with reason and trust as its foundation'?"
In the handwritten letter of Emperor Jiuyou, this sentence was indeed used to reiterate the Cangyan Kingdom's position on the world. When King Ya saw it, his first reaction was not to believe it.
Zhao Keduo speculated: "Perhaps, Bailie also pledged loyalty to it and promised it many benefits."
A small force can rely on two big brothers at the same time without any conflict.
Only in this way can it be explained that Cang Yan had to intervene between Yaguo and Bailie. What significance could the Afuhai and Zilin regions have for Cang Yan, whose territory was so vast?
At this moment, the military intelligence from Baiqiuyuan came:
The fighting on the front line became increasingly fierce. At daybreak, the two armies had a thorough fight, with both sides suffering casualties.
Apparently, the Dragon God Army did not agree to King Ya's request for a ceasefire, but fought even more fiercely.
The other party didn't fall for his delaying tactics.
Zhao Keduo saw King Ya scratching the back of his head, so he asked, "Does the king have any concerns?"
"Is there any trap in this agreement?" The conditions offered by Emperor Jiuyou were too reasonable, which made him suspect that there was a trick here. He was afraid that he would fall into the trap if he couldn't see through it.
It is said that this Jiuyou Emperor is an expert in strategy and planning, and even Bai Ziqi, the envoy of the Heavenly Palace, and Qingyang, the former national teacher of Beijia, were defeated by him.
Zhao Keduo also thought about this question: "Your Majesty, Jiuyou's conquest of Baiqiuyuan is of greater significance than the profit he made from us."
"Oh? What do you say?"
"Jiuyou was established not long ago, and its qualifications are still shallow. Its relationship with Mou State is not good. This time, he volunteered to lead Bailie, probably planning to establish his authority through military force, so that the surrounding forces, especially Mou State, can see his bravery." Zhao Keduo had to choose his words when he got to this point. "This time, he was lucky enough to capture Baiqiuyuan. He has explained to the outside world and the inside, and can withdraw now."
The Dragon God Army did not choose any other place, but headed straight for Baiqiuyuan, and their goal was also very clear:
To capture the sacred land of the Colin tribe would be to show off military strength and humiliate the country of Ya.
To put it bluntly, Emperor Jiuyou's strategic intention has been achieved and he can return triumphantly.
"If he insists on staying, the Dragon God Army will suffer heavy losses. Besides, there is no point in staying. Does he really think he can destroy our capital?" Everyone knows that conquering Baiqiuyuan and attacking the capital of Ya Kingdom are two different concepts with two different levels of difficulty!
King Ya sneered: "Want to destroy my capital? Ha, he can't even defeat it if he fights until he vomits blood."
How can the warriors of Ya country be compared with the dwarfs of Shanjin?
Thinking of this, he was slightly stunned. What about those powerful weapons in the hands of the Dragon God Army?
