Beauty and the Bodyguard

The whole audience was silent, and Lin Yi was also speechless. Just as he said that he wanted to be right, you withdrew your troops. Can you have some backbone?

This time I won’t use sneak attacks or ambushes. Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to have a head-on confrontation?

Lin Yi was speechless, and Wu Yucao and others were even more speechless. They were marching in a hurry and didn't go into any city along the way for repairs. Why did Baba come here?

To applaud the eight hundred soldiers of the Guards Battalion?

After all, if we have a fight, there will be an explanation when we go back, right?

Otherwise, when people return to the capital and ask you how you fought this battle, you can't just say that you marched over in a hurry, had a meal and slept, and then marched back in a hurry, right?

"The messenger has arrived?"

Lin Yi had no choice. As a coach, it would be best if he could win without a fight.

"On the way, the letter eagle sent the news first! It is estimated that the messenger will enter the city at nightfall."

The soldier still knelt on one knee, lowered his head and answered Lin Yi's questions respectfully.

This is the legend of defeating 200,000 enemy troops in northern Xinjiang with 800 cavalry!

Now all the soldiers in Huoyan City absolutely respect Lin Yi from the bottom of their hearts.

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

The soldier was excited and a little proud. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he would not have been able to grab this opportunity to report to the commander!

"I know, you go down first! When the envoy arrives, bring him over directly."

Lin Yi dismissed the soldier with a wave of his hand, turned to look at his own team members sitting below, reached out and tapped the gold ingot: "Military advisor, since the other party has come to seek peace, I will leave the negotiation to you and let them do their best. Some blood!"

"Understood, don't worry, Commander!"

Jin Yuanbao smiled and bowed, it was not difficult, he was very good at it.

In particular, Lin Yi and his 800 personal guard battalion had already displayed great authority and momentum.

The two armies of Selenium and Tongjun were no match for a mere 800 cavalry. Now that the royal capital's garrison of 20,000 horses had arrived, it was not difficult to understand that Feidu City had heard the news and fled.

Negotiating with such a huge advantage shouldn't be called negotiation, it should just be said that we are going to cut the national flesh of Selenium and Tongjun.

Lin Yi scratched his head. He originally wanted to hold a military meeting to discuss how to deal with the Selenium and Copper County. Now that it is done, there is nothing to discuss.

With Jin Yuanbao's shrewdness, Lin Yi believes that he can obtain enough benefits for Hongshang County, so there is no need to say more here.

"Commander Ling, the scout battalion must not relax. In order to avoid Se Tongjun's delaying strategy, we will continue to send people to watch them withdraw."

Lin Yi thought for a while, the scouts can't be withdrawn. If the Selenium Copper County is playing tricks on them, then just do it first!

Ling Hanxue bowed and accepted the order. In fact, without Lin Yi's orders, the scout camp had been sending out scouts to monitor the surrounding area.

Not only Feidu City, but also Duoyou City.

There is nothing left to discuss in the military meeting. The plan for tonight was to revise everything. We will wait until we see the envoy from Selenium Copper County to discuss everything.

In the evening, the envoy arrived as promised, but Lin Yi did not show up and only sent Jin Yuanbao to talk.

"Since Selenium Copper County wants to sue for peace, it must show sincerity!"

With arrogance and indifference on his face, Jin Yuanbao looked down at the envoy from the Selenium and Tongjun Kingdom: "Cede five cities on the front line of Northern Xinjiang to our country and compensate for the military expenditures consumed by our army in this war. This is It’s the lowest bottom line!”

The envoy from Selenium Copper County was sweating profusely and wiped his forehead with his sleeve with a dry smile: "Sir, should we discuss this further? Military expenses can be negotiated, as for the city..."

On the front line of northern Xinjiang, the five most important cities of Selenium Copper County are equivalent to the five major dangers in the defense of Hongshang County!

If they are all ceded to Hongshang County, the consequences...

To give a simpler example, it's like the strong gates and walls of your home are controlled by malicious neighbors, leaving you with only the fragile room door to slightly block it.

And then you have to be constantly on guard against malicious neighbors breaking in. How can you sleep?

"As for the city, there are only five of you. Isn't it too small?"

Jin Yuanbao raised his head slightly, held his chin and thought for a moment: "Or the five deeper cities can be ceded to us as well!"

The envoy from Selenium Copper County is sweating profusely. Not only do you want to control the door, but you don't even want to leave the door open for others?

If we really do this, Selenium Copper Commandery will basically be defenseless to Hongshang Commandery!

In the future, if the Hongshang Commandery wants to send troops, they can directly go deep into the hinterland of the Selenium Copper Commandery. What a joke!

"No, sir..."

The envoy from Selenium Copper County kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The huge failure on the battlefield left him without the slightest confidence to reject Jin Yuanbao's unreasonable demands with a tough attitude.

To seek peace is to beg the other party for peace. What can you do if you don’t have the initiative?

Burning the cauldron?

"If you don't want to give it, then we will get it ourselves!"

Jin Yuanbao didn't give the opponent a chance to breathe, and pressed forward step by step: "Or do you think that our commander can't do this? Eight hundred cavalry slaughtered your army of 100,000 people. Do you think that with only five cities or ten cities? Can you withstand our commander's attack?"

The Se-Tong Commandery envoy's clothes were wet behind his back. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth: "Five cities on the front line of Northern Xinjiang, as well as military expenses for this war, this is our country's greatest sincerity! But it requires the king's approval, and I cannot fully agree. I hope you can give me some time!"

The lesser of two evils, losing five cities is more acceptable than losing ten cities.

"Impossible! You are the envoy of Selenium Copper County. Naturally, you fully represent the will of the King of Selenium Copper County. Either agree now, or we can get it ourselves. There is no third way!"

"Sir! Two days, please give me two more days! It will take at least two days for the letter eagle to go back and forth. As long as the king agrees, the five cities can be delivered immediately!"

The envoy from the Selenium and Copper Commandery could not give in. In two days, he could at least make the country more prepared.

Even if he doesn't agree, he can still prepare the cities on the front line of Northern Xinjiang for defense.

During this expedition, almost all the border cities were outnumbered. Now their defenses are extremely weak. If Hongshang County counterattacks, they really cannot defend it!

Otherwise, we wouldn’t be so nervous about sending envoys to sue for peace.

You must know that the envoys sent out now are only envoys from the army besieging Feidu City, and they do not represent the kings of Setong County.

"One day! If you don't give up five cities in one day, we will take them ourselves!"

Jin Yuanbao pondered for a moment and showed a proud smile: "By then, there may be more than just these five cities!"

The envoy from Se Tong Commandery looked pale, said goodbye with a slight cup of his hands, and immediately ran out in a hurry.

There was no way to continue the conversation. Jin Yuanbao's attitude was so tough, what else could he say?
