Chapter 258: We Were Wrong

In the absence of water, the army of the southern Xinjiang country basically had no way to fight.

The question that the soldiers think about every day is, is it terrible to die, or is it terrible to be so thirsty every day?

Undoubtedly, if this continues, they will all die, and after a few days, many people are dehydrated.

On the side of the Dragon Army, Chen Xiao looked at the enemy camp in the distance, many soldiers were already wandering like zombies, and couldn't help but pat his thighs and said:

"Oh my god, dehydration is hallucinating, right? It's so miserable, I can't even stand it! ”

On the side, many generals were speechless, thinking that people are so miserable, who is to blame? You didn't do it yet?

Chen Xiao continued to say cool words: "It's too miserable, they need water, right?" Let people play in the water in the inner circle and break through the last line of defense of their body and mind! ”

"Yes......"

So, the army of the dragon kingdom continued to perform and play in the water.

This tidies up the enemy soldiers, and it makes me feel uncomfortable.

When many soldiers saw the dragon army playing in the water, they thought it was an illusion, because water was already like something out of reach to them.

In this way, another day passed, and the enemy army completely collapsed.

Chen Xiao knew that it was almost there, so he ordered a large amount of water to be prepared in the inner circle, and the whole army shouted.

Whoever is willing to throw away his armor and surrender, spare their lives and give them water.

As soon as this method came out, the generals were worried that it would not work.

But it turns out that water really matters.

Because after the soldiers shouted, the enemy generals ran over and surrendered first.

They are used to being pampered on weekdays, so at this time, they are even more unable to endure hardship.

Now they can drink water, and they want to drink it more than anyone else.

Now, in their consciousness, what is the Southern Frontier Country? What is it to fight?

Drinking water is the first thing!

So, they relented.

The first to surrender were all generals.

Then there was the marshal of the Southern Xinjiang State, and then the soldiers surrendered one after another.

In the end, they basically surrendered.

The soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom confiscated all the weapons and armor of the army of the Southern Frontier Kingdom, leaving these people without the slightest threat.

And, as prisoners of war, they were all brought back to the barracks of the border army, and they were all guarded.

In this battle, basically there was no fighting, and the enemy's 150,000 army was taken.

Basically, the Dragon Nation soldiers did not have any losses.

Even the food that fed these prisoners of war was their own grain and grass.

If you have to say pay, it is to guard these people every day and give some water.

The battle was basically over, and Chen Xuan sent an envoy to deliver a letter to the southern Xinjiang country.

Roughly speaking, the Dragon Kingdom captured all the large armies of the Southern Frontier Kingdom and gave them two choices.

One, surrender and send someone to negotiate with the Dragon Kingdom.

Second, if you don't surrender, the army of the Dragon Kingdom will fight over.

After the envoy went to the Southern Frontier Country, this news directly shocked the Southern Frontier Country.

The king of the Southern Frontier Kingdom never dreamed that in such a short period of time, his army of 150,000 would be lost?

Moreover, the dragon kingdom did not lose a single soldier?

This devastated the king of the southern frontier country, and in the court, after discussion, he decided to surrender and negotiate.

Because he is really afraid that the army of the Dragon Kingdom will come over, and if he comes, he will definitely be defeated if there are only about 100,000 troops left in his southern Xinjiang country.

If you don't fight, at most you will be soft, continue to be a little brother, and surrender to the Dragon Kingdom.

As a result, the king of the southern frontier sent his own negotiation team to negotiate with Chen Xiao at the border.

said that it was a negotiation, but Chen Xiaoming wanted to pit the southern Xinjiang country.

In fact, there is no need for the Dragon Kingdom to rule the Southern Frontier Kingdom, because if it is ruled, it will be troublesome to manage.

Therefore, the Dragon Kingdom prefers the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom to pay tribute every year to the dynasty instead of managing the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom.

It is always more comfortable and worry-free to fight for more benefits than to rule directly.

Therefore, a few days later, in the military camp of the Dragon Kingdom, a group of ministers from the Southern Frontier Kingdom came to the big tent weakly.

In the big tent, Chen Xiao led the generals and sat opposite the ministers of the Southern Xinjiang State.

With a smile on his face, Chen Xiao said:

"First, let me have a question."

He cleared his throat: "First, the war was started by you, and your army lost, and all the military expenses used in our army will be borne by your southern Xinjiang country, and if you want to redeem these large armies, remember that they are redeemed, and they are to be paid, so they will be sold at the price of slaves. ”

The Minister of Negotiation of the Southern Xinjiang State frowned: "I'm afraid this is ......"

"If we don't agree, we don't mind killing the 150,000 troops of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom, after all, ...... There's no need to keep enemies, right? Of course, by the way, it was your southern Xinjiang country that gave up the lives of these soldiers of the army. ”

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, the minister said speechlessly: "Okay...... We cover everything! ”

They have nothing to say about this, who let the army be captured?

So Chen Xiao continued:

"Second, you don't want to continue the war, but you have provoked our Dragon Kingdom. Therefore, there must be a price to be paid for the end of this battle.

You should also understand that the defeated side does not want to continue the war, so it can only pay huge compensation, as well as compensation for the cession of land.

Therefore, I ask that you pay 20,000,000 taels of silver, and that you cut out a city and return it to the kingdom of the dragons. ”

The ministers of the Southern Xinjiang State are angry when they hear this, and they still have to lose money? Give back a city?

Seeing that they were not convinced, Chen Xiao said, "What? Do you have an opinion? That keep fighting? ”

Suddenly they were intimidated, and the ministers began to discuss.

Finally agreed.

Then the negotiating minister said, "We have the conditions too!" ”

"Say!" Chen Xiao spoke.

The minister said, "First, we lose money, but your border army cannot be stationed near the border of our southern frontier.

Second, in the future, the Dragon Kingdom will protect our southern Xinjiang country from being bullied by other countries.

Third, our southern frontier country is not a vassal state of the dragon country, and we do not face the dragon country as a vassal state, such as fairness and equality. ”

Chen Xiao nodded: "Hmm...... I promised! ”

As soon as Chen Xiao's words came out, the generals were stunned, and the ministers of the Southern Xinjiang State were also stunned.

They suspected that they had misheard, and Chen Xiao would actually agree? They just say this so that they can bargain later.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiao didn't bargain?

Now they are happy, if they just compensate the Dragon Kingdom and cut a city, but they can get the protection of the Dragon Kingdom, and they don't have to bow down to the Dragon Kingdom, it would be great.

"Guys, there's nothing wrong with that, right?" Chen Xiao asked them.

The ministers of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom shook their heads one after another, and got up one by one with a smile and were about to go back to tell the king the good news.

But as soon as they stood up, Chen Xiao said: "It's okay if there is no problem, so what, pass my order, and enter the southern Xinjiang country tomorrow!" ”

A group of ministers of the Southern Xinjiang State were suddenly confused, and the ministers headed by them hurriedly said:

"What does that mean?"

Chen Xiao said: "Didn't you come according to your wishes? First, if there is no garrison at the border pass, then this is not a border pass? There is only one possibility, to swallow the southern frontier country.

Second, the dragon kingdom protects you, and the dragon kingdom only protects the subjects of the dragon kingdom, so to protect you, you must rule first!

Thirdly, you are not a vassal state, yes, if you are ruled, you are not a vassal state, but a subject of the dragon country! ”

The ministers of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom listened to Chen Xiao's words and were stunned one by one.

Nima ......

I regret it......

"So, we do what you want, meet your conditions!" Chen Xiao said.

Those ministers looked at each other, and the next moment, they knelt down in front of Chen Xiao:

"We were wrong......"
