Three days passed quickly, and as the "host", Ning Yuan came to the pavilion early, drinking tea while waiting for the other party's arrival.

After receiving Ning Yuan's reply, the Eagle Hoof Empire was immediately outraged, and many people believed that Ning Yuan did not have the sincerity to negotiate.

They all persuaded Niu Houtu not to go to the appointment, because once Ning Yuan chooses to turn his face, Niu Houtu may never come back, after all, it is the territory of the Condor Army.

Facing Ning Yuan's pressure, Niu Houtu was also very angry, but he calmed down quickly.

The Eagle Hoof Empire needs too much time to recuperate. If the war cannot be ceased, then not only will they not be able to keep their current territory, but after a few years, it is very likely that everyone will be forced to enter the deep mountains and old forests in order to continue to survive.

So even though he knew that he might not be able to come back after this trip, he finally decided to go meet Ning Yuan himself for a while.

He wants to see who this formidable opponent is, and at the same time, he is ready to be opened up by the opponent's lion.

So when the appointed time came, Niu Houtu appeared in the pavilion on time.

"Please sit down."

After carefully looking at the tall tauren in front of him, Ning Yuan signaled him to take a seat.

After Niu Houtu sat down, Ning Yuan took the initiative to ask: "Your Excellency is the beast king Niu Houtu of the tauren clan?"

"That's right, I am Niu Houtu, Your Excellency is Ning Yuan, Emperor of the Condor Eagle?"

Niu Houtu didn't show any displeasure at Ning Yuan deliberately calling himself the Beastmaster of the Tauren family. Now that he was able to come here, he was ready to bear all kinds of ridicule from the other party.

"That's right, it's me."

Seeing that the other party was very calm, Ning Yuan stopped using words to run on the other party, and he went straight to the point: "Thick Earth Beast King, since you are willing to initiate a peace negotiation, you must have understood the strength gap between us.

For the sake of killing Lin Xiao, the culprit, I can give you a chance to gain peace, but peace has always been hard-won. I wonder what price you want to pay for peace? "

Everyone knows some things well, so Ning Yuan also gave the other party a step down,

It's just that as the victor, the war indemnity that should be obtained cannot be less than a penny.

Looking at Ning Yuan, who was going straight in, Niu Houtu knew that the critical moment was coming, he took a deep breath and said, "In order to express our apology, we are willing to cede all the land west of Siping, and hope that Emperor Shenying can return Shuangliao City to us. "

Although he is unwilling to bargain, it is impossible to negotiate such a thing in one step, so Niu Houtu tentatively quoted a price.

"Thick Earth Beastmaster, I think it is necessary for me to remind you that my Condor Eagle Army now has the absolute advantage.

To put it bluntly, when the food and grass in Shuangliao City are exhausted, you will not be able to defend any other cities except your royal city, so you must show enough sincerity.

I repeat again, peace is not easy to come by. If you want to have peace, you must provide enough bargaining chips in exchange for it, otherwise peace will not come to you. "

Ning Yuan also doesn't like bargaining, especially when his side has an absolute advantage, so he directly asks the other party to quote the reserve price.

"We can cede all the land west of Wangcheng (Changchun). This is the greatest sincerity we can show. If not, then we can only continue to fight."

Seeing that Ning Yuan was not satisfied, Niu Houtu hesitated for a while, and quoted a second price. Although this was not his bottom line, it was almost the same.

After hearing Niu Houtu's second quotation, Ning Yuan said nothing, but shook his head slightly.

Seeing that Ning Yuan was not satisfied, Niu Houtu also frowned. After staring closely at Ning Yuan for a while, he said, "In that case, see you on the battlefield."

After finishing speaking, Niu Houtu got up and left with his guards.

Looking at Niu Houtu who left, Ning Yuan didn't say anything, he just sat there, smiling and looking at the back of the other party.

After Niu Houtu led the guards out for more than a hundred meters, he looked back at Ning Yuan, then turned around and turned back.

After returning to the pavilion and sitting down, Niu Houtu said helplessly: "Okay, you won, Emperor Condor Eagle, you can tell all the conditions, if I can accept it, then we will sign an agreement, if I accept it No, I will leave immediately, and I will never return this time."

Originally, he thought that Ning Yuan would take the initiative to ask him to stay, and then the two parties renegotiated the terms, but he did not expect Ning Yuan to be so determined.

After seeing that Ning Yuan didn't mind continuing the war, Niu Houtu finally chose to bow his head.

It's not that he is bloodless, but that he doesn't want to see the tauren family destroyed by his own hands, so he can only humiliate himself and bow to Ning Yuan.

Looking at the lonely Niu Houtu, Ning Yuan smiled and said: "The Houtu Beastmaster, if your identity wasn't too sensitive, I would really like to invite you to visit my Condor Empire.

For only when you see with your own eyes how mighty my empire is will you know how merciful I am in granting you peace. "

Ning Yuan was not in a hurry to state his conditions, but began to launch a psychological offensive against Niu Houtu, and he was ready to further destroy the opponent's psychological defense.

Only when the opponent's psychological defense is completely destroyed, can he get the greatest benefit.

Seeing that Niu Houtu didn't speak, Ning Yuan didn't care, he continued: "I admit that your totem fighters are very elite, and they are fighting head-on, and my legion is not their opponent.

But you have also seen that my army has a large number of long-range weapons, and there is no need to fight you head-on.

Even if your totem warriors are elite, even if they can be used against a hundred, they are still flesh and blood after all, so even if you return to the Beastmaster City, it will only last for a while. Today in Shuangliao City is you! tomorrow.

Therefore, before negotiating, you must face up to your current situation, so that the negotiation can proceed normally. "

"Both of you and I know very well why you chose to negotiate a peace. Although you still have a large army, after losing a large piece of fertile land, you no longer have enough resources to support that large population.

As for me, I don't want to drive you to a dead end, but I'm not a bad person either. I can give you a way to survive, but you must submit to me and pay tribute every year. This is the basis of this negotiation. Only if you agree to this condition can we continue the discussion. "

Ning Yuan knew that the other party wanted time to recuperate, and he could give the other party this time, but in name, the Eagle Hoof Empire must become a vassal state of the Condor Empire.

Although this is just a title, the other party can turn his face and deny it at any time, but Ning Yuan just wants this title, because this title can give him righteousness in some future actions.

He wants the orcs of the Eagle Hoof Empire to gradually acquiesce in the status of the Condor Eagle Empire in their hearts, which will help him completely incorporate them into the Condor Eagle Empire in the future.

What Ning Yuan said directly hit Niu Houtu's weakness. At the end, he closed his eyes directly, unwilling to open them for a long time.

After a while, Niu Houtu opened his eyes again, "Okay, I promise you, from now on, the Eagle Hoof Empire will become a vassal state of the Condor Eagle Empire, and will follow the lead of the Condor Eagle Empire."

After opening his eyes, Niu Houtu regained his composure. He calmly stood up from his seat, knelt down on one knee towards Ning Yuan, and said, "Niu Houtu, the King of the Kingdom of Eagle Hoof, sees Emperor Condor Eagle."

"Free of courtesy."

Although he couldn't see any evidence of Niu Houtu's surrender, Ning Yuan still didn't choose to expose it.

For a hero like Niu Houtu, it is definitely not easy to get them to surrender sincerely, so Ning Yuan didn't care about the other party's false surrender, because he had already obtained the title he really needed.

After Niu Houtu got up, Ning Yuan continued: "Okay, Houtu Beastmaster, everyone will be his own from now on, let's sit down and talk."

"Thank you, my lord."

"Since everyone is on their own now, it will be easy to talk about it next."

 …

After Niu Houtu pretended to surrender, Ning Yuan put forward his own conditions.

Next, the two sides conducted a "very friendly" negotiation on these conditions. Except for some conditions related to the survival of the race, Niu Houtu basically agreed to all other conditions proposed by Ning Yuan.

Then the two parties drew up a detailed treaty in duplicate, and signed each other on the treaty. Because this treaty was signed under the city of Shuangliao, it is also called the Shuangliao treaty.

"Shuangliao Treaty"

Article 1. The Eagle Hoof Kingdom is a vassal state of the Condor Eagle Empire, paying tribute every year.

Second, the Eagle Hoof Kingdom handed over all the wild boars and bears in the country, and these two races will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Eagle Empire from now on.

Article 3: Without the permission of the Condor Empire, the Eagle Hoof Kingdom is not allowed to expand the wolf cavalry legion privately, and the number of wolf cavalry in the country cannot exceed 2,000.

Article 4. The two sides re-demarcated the border line. The Eagle Hoof Kingdom occupied Buyeo, Nong'an, Changchun, Gongzhuling, and the territory east of Dongliao, and the rest of the land was merged into the Shenying Empire.

Article 5 allows the army of the Condor Empire to pass through the territory of the Eagle Hoof Kingdom.

Article 6, Niu Houtu needs to send his eldest son to Shenying City for exchange and study.

Article 7, Immediately withdraw all the troops that are still in the territory of the Condor Empire, except the bear people and wild boar people.

These seven items are the core content of the entire Shuangliao Treaty. Although Ning Yuan wanted to get more, Niu Houtu refused to let go of his life and death, so he could only let it go.

Ning Yuan originally wanted to beg all the orcs except the tauren and owl clan, but Niu Houtu refused to agree to it. He was only willing to give Ning Yuan the two big-eating races of the bears and wild boars.

Both of them knew the particularity of the werewolf and leopard race, so neither of them would give in easily. In the end, they could only take a step back in desperation.

Ning Yuan promised to allow these two races to stay in the Eagle Hoof Kingdom, while Niu Houtu promised Ning Yuan to only keep a 2,000-strong Wolf Cavalry Legion, and would not expand the army without Ning Yuan's permission. Ning Yuan could send people to the Eagle Hoof Kingdom at any time. The kingdom conducts surprise inspections.

Ning Yuan has been envious of the totem warriors of the tauren clan for a long time, so he took this opportunity to ask Niu Houtu to hand over the secret method of training totem warriors, but unfortunately he was still strongly rejected by the other party.

The totem warrior is Niu Houtu's lifeblood and his hope of resurgence. Even if he dies, it is impossible for him to hand over the secret method of training the totem warrior to Ning Yuan.

For the Eagleshoe Empire, he can surrender the Bearmen and Wildboars, he can cede a large area of ​​land, and he can let his eldest son be a hostage, but he just cannot hand over the totem warriors. This is his bottom line.

After seeing Niu Houtu's extremely resolute attitude, Ning Yuan didn't force him anymore.

Although he was the defeated party, Niu Houtu had the cheek to put forward some conditions to Ning Yuan, but most of them were rejected by Ning Yuan.

Niu Houtu hopes that the artisans of the Condor Empire can customize some armor and weapons for his orcs. He can use magic crystals and furs to exchange.

In this regard, Ning Yuan directly stated that it was impossible, and asked him to die as soon as possible.

He couldn't see Niu Houtu's attribute panel at all, and they were still enemies. How could he open these strategic resources to the enemy? He has never done anything to support the enemy.

Niu Houtu also hoped that Ning Yuan could let Ying Jingtian and the orc warriors in Shuangliao City go, and let them return to the Kingdom of Eagle Hoof.

After learning that Ying Jingtian was trapped in Shuangliao City, Ning Yuan chose to refuse without hesitation. He told Niu Houtu that the defenders of Shuangliao City had killed a large number of his soldiers, and he planned to take them captive and send them to the mine Do coolies and return them to their free bodies after ten years.

It was an unexpected surprise for Ning Yuan that Ying Jingtian was trapped in Shuangliao City. He was going to plan carefully to see how to maximize the role of this pawn.

After rejecting several requests made by Niu Houtu in a row, Ning Yuan felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit stiff, so he finally agreed to send someone to instruct the Eagle Hoof Kingdom on how to cultivate crops, and provided them with all the seeds for free.

In addition, Ningyuan also promised to sell them a batch of grain every year to help them survive the food crisis until they can be self-sufficient.

Regardless of the fact that every article of the Shuangliao Treaty is on the surface that the Condor Empire took advantage of it, and Niu Houtu lost power and humiliated the country in various ways, but as long as you can understand the current situation of the Eagle Hoof Empire, you will know how decisive Niu Houtu is.

After killing Lin Xiao, the Eagle Hoof Empire suddenly lost all external channels for obtaining food, and the entire empire would soon fall into a serious food crisis.

If it wasn't for the food crisis, how could Niu Houtu submit to Ning Yuan?

If he couldn't afford it, how could he give up the Bearmen and Wildboars to Ning Yuan?

The reason why he made so many concessions was simply to get some food from Ning Yuan so that he could survive the coming food crisis.

And it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself. He cannot let the enemy control his lifeline, so he must create a peaceful development environment for the Eagle Hoof Empire.

Why did Ningyuan dare to besiege Shuangliao City for a long time?

Why dare to force them to fight decisively without fear?

Isn't it because the Condor Empire has enough food?

Isn't it because the Eagle Hoof Empire lost its main food producing area?

If the Eagle Hoof Empire had sufficient food reserves, how could they have fallen to where they are today?

So after learning from the pain, Niu Houtu decided to sit down and wait for the opportunity to rise again. When they can fully grasp the lifeline in their own hands, it is the time for them to launch a battle of revenge.
