Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

When Shao Yichen and Jing Yi returned to the camp, they also saw the small but powerful sleeve arrow, and he immediately fell in love with it.

Shao Yichen carefully inspected the sleeve arrow and tied it on his forearm twice to try it out. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. "Jing Yan, this sleeve arrow is really good. It is small and secretive. It can surprise the enemy. It is a good hidden weapon."

Jing Yi said: "Don't underestimate this small sleeve arrow, it can save lives at a critical moment. Give this pair to Brother Shao. I'll assemble a pair myself."

Shao Yichen accepted it bluntly, "Thank you Jingyan. Jingyan, I have already ordered the soldiers of each battalion to run and practice outside the city in batches. The momentum will definitely shock the envoys of the Xiyan Kingdom. I guess they will have to Terrified. Thought we were going to send troops again."

Jing Yi said with a smile: "It is to make those Xiyan envoys fearful, let them speed up the negotiation process and meet our conditions. I guess it will take a few days for the Xiyan envoys to come to us to negotiate."

Jing Yi said that was right, the envoys of Xiyan Kingdom were very worried after knowing the actions of the White Tiger Army, worried that the White Tiger Army would suddenly attack and attack their next city in Xiyan when they knew about it.The current White Tiger Army and Xi Yan couldn't resist it at all.

What's more, there is An Lehou, the god of death, no one can resist her.

Murong Huai was also very worried, wondering what Shao Yichen and Chu Jingyan were planning.Now that the court has not responded, what if the White Tiger Army gets impatient and continues to attack?
Cao Yu said: "Your Highness, now the imperial court has sent people to persuade some families to donate money and food. Let's discuss with the envoys of the Jin Kingdom to lower some conditions and reach a settlement as soon as possible."

Murong Huai said: "Although this Chu Jingyan is a woman, she is resourceful. It must be her idea to let the White Tiger Army practice outside the city. This is a blatant threat that if we fail to meet their requirements, they will attack at any time."

Three days later, the envoy of Xiyan Kingdom asked for peace talks again.The two sides once again came together to negotiate.

Jing Yi sat across from Murong Huai, and Murong Huai carefully observed the face of the person opposite.Now I know that the person opposite is a woman, the more I look at her, the more I feel that she is beautiful and aura is compelling.Those deep eyes make people feel very mysterious and make people want to explore.

And now when he looks at the person opposite, he can find that she has many characteristics of a woman.Why didn't he see that An Lehou was a woman before?All preconceived reasons.

Jing Yi tapped lightly with one hand and two fingers on the table and said, "It's been several days, and the imperial court of your country should have replied."

Cao Yu took the lead and said, "An Lehou, we in Xiyan are currently raising money and food, but the compensation you are asking for is too much, An Lehou, can you reduce it a bit? Otherwise, we really won't be able to pay so much money and food for a while. "

Murong Huai went on to say: "Marquis An Le, we in Xiyan are very sincere and want to meet your conditions very much. It's just that we in Xiyan have been plagued by natural disasters in the past two years, and all the state capitals have been struggling. See if you can be more accommodating. We can cede the three cities to you, but we really can’t afford that much money. Especially the silver you want is too much, we won’t be able to afford that many taels for a while.”

Jing Yi raised his eyes to look at Murong Huai and said, "If you don't have enough silver, you can use gold to make it up. The silver must not be less than 1000 million taels, and the remaining 500 million taels can be converted into other things, as long as the value is equal."

Murong Huai said: "We can't raise that much food, we can only raise 350 million shi. Ten thousand horses are no problem."

Jing Yi said: "If you don't have enough food, then you can use war horses and add another [-] horses. I have already lowered the conditions for you. There are tens of thousands of war horses in Xiyan's army. You can buy the [-] horses I want." Can’t say no.”

When Shao Yichen heard that another [-] horses had been added, his excited hands clenched into fists under the table.You must know that war horses are very precious, and a war horse is very valuable, and it takes time to breed.With these [-] horses, they can equip another [-] cavalry.Then the combat effectiveness of their White Tiger Army will undoubtedly increase a lot.

After that, the two sides began to bargain again.In the end, the two sides reached an agreement that Xiyan State ceded the land around the three cities of Jin State to Jin State, which is the three cities currently occupied by Jin State.

After all, these three cities have already been occupied by the White Tiger Army, how can they return them?

In addition, Xiyan compensated Jin State with 1000 million taels of silver, 20 taels of gold, [-] million shi of grain, [-] war horses, and some medicinal materials.This is really a huge compensation.

This result has exceeded Jing Yi's planned goal. It seems that Xiyan Kingdom is really afraid.

Now that the bottom line given by the emperor has been reached, and the task has been overfulfilled, Jing Yi took advantage of the opportunity and signed an armistice treaty with Xiyan Kingdom.The state of Jin no longer attacked the territory of Xiyan.

After the signing of the armistice treaty, Xiyan began to hand over the compensation to Jin State one after another.

This time, Xi Yan simply accompanied Dafa.Not only did they lose almost half of the Xiyan army, but they also lost three cities, and they also compensated so much money, food and war horses.

This huge amount of compensation made the emperor of Xiyan suffer from a serious illness, and the ministers who fought the battle were also demoted.

As a result, Yecheng became the city of Jin State next to Xiyan, and also became a border city.

In the future, this place will become the most forward position guarded by the White Tiger Army.Then it is necessary to build some defensive facilities to improve the defense of Yecheng.

Jing Yi and Shao Yichen walked around Ye City, looked at the surrounding terrain, and thought about how to defend better.

After inspecting the terrain, Jing Yi said, "Brother Shao, this city of Ye will be a border city in the future, and the fortifications must be built well. This is related to the safety of the soldiers and the people in the city in the future. Also, the imperial court should send a person in charge of people's livelihood as soon as possible." Officials come. But this side of the city can also be managed by the army, after all, this is a frontier with a special nature."

Shao Yichen said: "I will report to the Holy Majesty. Jing Yan, please give me some suggestions on how to build the fortifications in Yecheng."

Jing Yi said: "The urn outside the city that Ling Yuncheng built before is not bad, but it can be improved. With crossbow arrows in the future, we can build more towers.

Also, there are many mountains around Yecheng.When I went into the mountains before, I found a wide valley not far from Yecheng, with mountains on both sides of the valley. People from Xiyan Kingdom had to pass through the valley if they wanted to think of Yecheng.

I think it is possible to build the first fortification there by taking advantage of the natural terrain.In the future, if Xiyan wants to invade our Dajin, he must overcome that hurdle first.This gives us time to prepare. "

Shao Yichen said: "Then let's go to that valley to have a look tomorrow."
