Everyone looked at King Yan, wondering which three conditions he would propose, but everyone knew that it would definitely not be a small condition.

The corners of King Yan's mouth raised slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, which made the grassland envoy feel inexplicably nervous.

The grassland envoy had a hunch that this would be a very unfavorable condition for the Huchi family.

The scene was so quiet that you could hear everyone's breathing and even the heartbeat.

King Yan said slowly: "First, order Hu Chiyan to issue an edict to all the tribes in the grassland and hand over the jade seal of the Khan of the Grassland to the Yun Kingdom to announce his abdication. I can ask the court to leave a prince for Hu Chiyan."

bit."

The grassland envoy suddenly changed his expression. This condition is simply to expel the Huchi family from the royal family. Even if there is a prince, it is just a false name, without any real power, and is no different from ordinary grassland residents.<

/p>

From a monarch who rules one side to a family with no princely title, this is simply an indelible shame for the Huchi family, which has always regarded itself as the overlord of the grassland royal family!

The people of the Yun State smiled one after another, and Hu Chiyan asked for peace from the Yun State, just to save the Hu Chi family from death in the war.

But if the price is to get rid of the throne, it will be very difficult to choose, which is related to the honor and disgrace of the entire family.

"Your Highness, this..." The grassland envoy wanted to say something else.

King Yan quickly interrupted the other party: "You are not qualified to bargain. If you dare to say 'no', I will kill you immediately."

The grassland envoy gritted his teeth and continued to lower his head: "I am all ears."

"The second condition is that the grassland tribe's army surrenders its weapons to the Yun Kingdom's army and disbands its military establishment. From now on, only troops organized and appointed by the Yun Kingdom can be stationed in military camps."

"This..."

The grassland envoy's face was extremely ugly. He first deposed Hu Chiyan's throne, and then disintegrated the grassland tribe's troops. In essence, this was no different from destroying the grassland, because the entire grassland would be ruled by the Yun Kingdom's system.
This is tantamount to a change of dynasty for the entire grassland tribe, and it is also the most severe punishment.

"Then what is the third condition?" asked the grassland messenger.

"Hu Chiyan will issue an edict before abdicating the throne. From now on, the people of the grassland people are the people of the Yun State. They should act according to the laws of the Yun State and obey the unified management of the Yun State. The Yun State will also

Treat the grassland people equally and try to keep a bowl of water as level as possible."

"I will definitely convey the three conditions of King Yan to His Majesty the Khan," said the grassland envoy.

"Within three days, I must get a reply from Hu Chiyan, otherwise I will capture Qiuyuan City. This is your last chance. If you miss this opportunity, there will no longer be a Huchi family on the grassland."<

/p>

King Yan's tone was very serious and full of threats, and he waved his hand to indicate that the other party could leave.

"Yes."

The grassland envoy bowed and hurriedly left Biyou City.

Du Ning admired him: "Your Majesty has foresight and defeats the enemy without fighting. It is indeed the best strategy for military strategists. However, the three conditions you proposed are not small. I am afraid that the possibility of Hu Chiyan agreeing is not high."

Not big."

"Hu Chiyan will definitely agree. In his eyes, there are no grassland people at all, only the interests he sees when he sits on the throne of Khan. If he is a monarch who loves his people like a son, he will not make the expropriation of the grassland.

The ridiculous thing about residents of cattle, sheep and war horses, regardless of the life and death of the grassland people, Hu Chiyan has lost the support of the people, let alone retaining the position of Khan, even their Huchi family cannot protect themselves, so from this king's point of view, as long as Hu Chiyan can survive

, he will agree to it no matter what the conditions are."

Ye Jinghong smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan is right, Du Ning, the prince has always lived in the temple, and his vision is usually very accurate. There is nothing after death. Only by living can you see the sun of tomorrow. King Yan

Your Highness has given Hu Chiyan a life-saving straw. It depends on whether he is willing to hold on tightly. Even if Hu Chiyan refuses these three conditions, our Yun Kingdom's mysterious cannon can push him all the way."

Many generals also showed confident smiles. They felt that the battle to unify the grassland people would be very smooth and they could win no matter what.

Because the grassland people have been frightened by the powerful power of the Xuanji Cannon, they have lost the courage to fight against the Yun State army. As long as the grassland people's army is afraid, the Yun State has already won half the battle.

The other side.

The grassland envoy rushed back to Qiuyuan City without stopping and informed Hu Chiyan and many grassland officials of the three conditions proposed by King Yan.

"What are you talking about! Asking our prairie tribe's army to surrender to the Yun Kingdom? Impossible! I won't agree! As a general of the prairie people, I am willing to die in battle as a prairie tribe. Even if I die, it will be an honor!"

"The same goes for me. Why should our grassland soldiers be afraid of a battle? Even if we die, we have to kill a few more Yun people to support us!"

"It's really ridiculous. We, the grassland people, are asked to disarm, but they actually have to disband our army. Once the soldiers and horses of the Yun Kingdom rule the entire grassland, won't we grassland people be inferior to the people of the Yun Kingdom? I don't accept it!

”

Many grassland officials directly opposed it, became furious, gnashed their teeth, and wished they could go into battle to kill the enemy in person.

But when they remembered that Yun Guo had a mysterious cannon, they felt their whole bodies tremble.

Hu Chikuo and many other princes clenched their fists one by one, and their eyes were about to burst.

"If the grassland is destroyed, I will call the Red Royal Family!"

"The sky is unfair! The sky is unfair!"

"Why! Why do you treat our Huchi family like this!"

The princes were filled with grief and anger and felt extremely desperate.

King Yan's three conditions pushed them into a desperate situation. If they agreed and called Chiyan to be reduced to prince, they would have to be bound by the laws of Yun State.

As the king of the previous dynasty, the Huchi family will be in a difficult situation. If they make a wrong step, the Yun Kingdom will find an excuse to destroy the family, and there will definitely be no good end.

This is how the royal family was treated in the previous dynasty.

If Hu Chiyan does not agree to these three conditions, the Yun State will have the absolute strength and confidence to destroy the Hu Chi family, and the final result will still be the unified grassland of the Yun State.

This is the determination of Emperor Hongxuan and the determination of the Yun Kingdom army.

Hu Chiyan sat on the big seat, her body trembling uncontrollably with anger, her teeth clenching, and her eyes even had bloodshot eyes.

The conditions offered by King Yan were getting tighter and tighter, making it difficult for Hu Chiyan to make a decision.

No matter whether Hu Chiyan agrees with King Yan's conditions or not, they will still have no good end.

With a "plop", Hu Chikuo knelt on the ground and roared: "I beg my father Khan, for the honor of the Huchi family and for the entire grassland tribe, I am willing to die on the battlefield and ask my father to grant my wish."

"My son is willing to die on the battlefield, and I beg my father to help me." Another prince knelt down and shouted.

There are also some princes who are indifferent. They are more eager to live than to die on the battlefield.

"Nonsense!"

Hu Chiyan said angrily: "Even if you fight to the death, this Khan will give you three hundred thousand cavalry, who can stop the mysterious cannon!"

These words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the anger in their hearts.

Hu Chikuo and others looked at me and I looked at you, they were all at a loss and very unwilling.

Hu Chiyan was right, even if they were given hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, they could not stop Yun Guo's mysterious cannon.

Whether it is morale or equipment, the Prairie Tribe has lagged far behind the Yun State, so no matter how hard the Prairie Tribe fights, it is impossible to defeat the Yun State.

But if they were forced to agree to Yun Guo's conditions, they would be unwilling to do so.

"Let Ben Khan think about it carefully."

Hu Chiyan lowered her eyes and looked listless.

"Lord Khan."

"Your Majesty."

The grassland officials looked at Hu Chiyan, and they were all filled with grief and anger.

They are Hu Chiyan's courtiers and know Hu Chiyan's character quite well.

For things that she is sure of, Hu Chiyan will go for it with ease.

As for those matters that have no winning factors and are very risky, Hu Chiyan will be afraid of making rash decisions.

The officials were afraid. They were afraid that Hu Chiyan would agree to King Yan's conditions, and they were also afraid that Hu Chiyan would reject King Yan's conditions.

You can live if you agree to the conditions, but you will bear a lifetime of shame.

Rejection can leave the final bottom line, and you will also die under fire.

"I am incompetent! I am incompetent!"

"I would rather die than become a slave to the subjugation of my country!"

"I will repay Your Majesty's kindness in the next life!"

Some ministers of the grassland tribe knelt on the ground, swiped their swords and wiped their necks hard. Bright red erupted, and they fell to the ground like corpses one after another.

They didn't even blink, their faces full of grief, anger and unwillingness.

Some people feel unworthy of this, but they are worthy of respect for being able to die for their country.

"Thump thump!"

Many people knelt down in front of the corpse, and even some princes had to kneel down in front of the corpse of the loyal minister, each one bowing his head in silence.

"I was wrong! I was wrong! I was so wrong!"

"I should not attack the Yun Kingdom, nor should I allow soldiers and horses to massacre the people of the Western Regions, nor should I implicate the grassland people in the war!"

"I'm at fault! I'm guilty!"

"I am a foolish king! I am a foolish king!"

Hu Chiyan roared, vomited blood with a "wow" sound, and fainted again.

…………

Three days later.

Hu Chiyan sent someone to reply to King Yan, saying that he agreed to the three conditions he proposed, and only asked King Yan to calm down the war and forgive the Hu Chi family.

After the King of Yan received Hu Chiyan's reply, he immediately wrote a memorial and sent a bachelor to ride on Pingbu Qingyun back to the capital of Yun Kingdom.

September 20th.

At the Jinluan Hall in the capital of Yun Kingdom, Eunuch Feng read aloud the memorial of King Yan in front of all the civil and military officials, and reported to everyone the war situation on the grassland tribe.

Since the battle in Biyou City, the grassland people have been beaten to the point where they have completely lost their temper and their original fighting spirit.

Now, Hu Chiyan hopes that Yun Guo can remove Zhan Huo, and he will agree to it no matter what the conditions are.

King Yan put forward three conditions to Hu Chiyan, giving the Huchi family the last way to survive.

Hu Chiyan readily agreed, and issued an edict to apologize to Yun State and to the innocent people who were indiscriminately killed in Yun State.

Therefore, King Yan asked the court whether he could end the war with the grassland people in the name of "recruiting peace", grant Huchiyan the title of prince, give him a land for herding sheep, and let the Huchi family fend for themselves in that fiefdom.

Destroy.

King Yan believed that Hu Chiyan was willing to hand over his own jade seal in order to survive and preserve his family, so Yun Guo should accept it.

Because if Hu Chiyan handed the jade seal to the Yun State, it was a form of apology to the Yun State, and then the Yun State's rule over the grassland would naturally be justified.

The officials of the Xian King Party had very complicated feelings. The King of Yan marched straight into Biyou City, forcing Hu Chiyan to issue an edict and hand over the jade seal that unified the grassland, which showed the power of the Yun Kingdom. This was a very happy thing

things.

But this also means that King Yan has made another great contribution to the grassland people, and many of King Yan's disciples and officials will be promoted to higher positions.

There is also Du Ning. The mysterious cannon he built was also indispensable in the battle to recover the lost territory in the Western Region and attack the grassland tribe.

It can be said that without the weapon developed by Du Ning, let alone defeating the grassland people, we don’t know how long it will take to regain the lost land in the Western Region.

Du Ning’s contribution is the greatest!

With this great contribution, Duning can be canonized as a marquis, enjoying the salary of a third-grade official and the same privileges as the marquis royal family.

The officials of the Xian Wang Party are on the same level as Du Ning. Once Du Ning gains power, he will definitely look for opportunities to retaliate against the officials of the Xian Wang Party.

Thinking of this, the officials of the Xian Wang Party felt uncomfortable, but on the surface they had to look very happy.

"Hmph! I thought Hu Chiyan would fight to the death with Yun Guo, but I really think highly of him this time."

The corners of Emperor Hongxuan's mouth raised, revealing a sarcastic look, and he said loudly: "Hu Chiyan is no match for me at all. Hundreds of thousands of prairie tribe cavalry can't defeat the Yun Kingdom's mysterious cannon!"

"Well said! The Yun Kingdom will be victorious! Long live my emperor!"

"The country of Yun is mighty! Long live my emperor!"

Civil and military officials shouted loudly, not only to feel happy, but also to vent the injustice in their hearts.

Once upon a time, the grassland people thought highly of themselves and looked down on the Yun people, and even wanted to make peace with the Yun people.

Today, the Yun Kingdom uses its powerful fighting power to tell the world that the grassland people are nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs.

Any grassland cavalry is not suitable for Xuanji Cannon.

The King of Xia came out and said: "Your Majesty, I agree to rule the grassland in the name of recruiting peace. Firstly, it will save the grassland people from the war. Secondly, it will be ordered by Heaven to take over the grassland tribes. Thirdly, it will be able to use the grassland to train a more powerful Yun Kingdom.

Cavalry!"

"What the ninth brother said makes sense, and I also agree with Zhao'an Grassland. As for how the Huchi family will be settled in the future, it depends on when the Huchi family did something wrong." King Chong said.

King Ji also echoed: "End the war with the grassland as soon as possible, and the Yun Kingdom can wholeheartedly fight against the barbarians and Xiongnu. Judging from Fourth Brother's record, with the help of mysterious artillery, we will definitely be able to sweep away the powerful enemies and make them pay heavy losses."

Price."

"I second the proposal!"

At this moment, most officials fully supported King Yan's petition.

Emperor Hongxuan nodded lightly and said: "Okay, you all have benevolent hearts and cannot bear to kill the Huchi family, so I will call Chiyan the 'Original Duke' and give him a land to herd sheep.

Let’s fend for ourselves!”
