After a day of fierce fighting, Adolfo left the defensive position of the city walls, escorted by a group of soldiers.

In front of a tall Western-style house in the centre of Sucre, Adolf's butler stands at the gate to welcome his master.

"Sir, Mr. Frías has something important to discuss with you, and now he is waiting for you in the hall."

"yes, I see!" Adolphus dismounted, handed the reins to the servant who had come forward, and commanded: "The guards have fought with me for a day today, and the merit is great, go and let the kitchen prepare the wine and food, and greet them well." ”

"Yes, sir." The butler bowed in response, and then arranged for more than fifty soldiers behind him to enter the courtyard.

"Fryas, is there anything wrong with me looking for me so late?"

Melgarejo's attack was repulsed, and Sucre was out of his most dangerous state, so Adolphus did not understand what would make Frias come to his house late at night.

"Could it be that there is another rebellion in the city?" Adolfo looked at the beaming Frías and denied his speculation.

"Adolfo, good news, Melgarejo is ready to surrender!" Frías stood up and said excitedly.

"Melgarejo surrendered willingly? It can't be a sham, right? Adolfo didn't believe it.

"No, it's true, Melgarejo sent his brother Balivian to negotiate with us. Now Ballyvian is in my house. ”

Frías was worried about Adolf's suspicions, and added: "In order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, Melgarejo ordered the troops to retreat ten miles away, Adolphus, you can send someone out of the city to check and confirm whether Melgarejo's troops are really retreating." ”

Melgarejo is greedy and violent, and the contradictions between the two are deep, and Adolfo certainly doesn't believe that Melgarejo will surrender obediently,

"Although Melgarejo is not attacking the city, but his descendants have suffered small losses, I think that his sending of the Balivian peace talks is just a pretense, and his real purpose is to loosen our guard and then throw a siege alone."

"Hehe, Adolph, you are too careful, Melgarejo and our peace talks are also a last resort, the reinforcements of the Chinese troops arrived less than fifty miles outside the city, Melgarejo's troops are facing the front and rear attacks of our army and the Chinese troops, if you don't surrender, there is only a dead end."

Balivian was anxious to reach peace talks with Sucre's side, and did not have any careful thinking at all, and when he visited Frías, it was not long before Frías got the news of the arrival of Chinese reinforcements, so Frías believed in the sincerity of the peace talks with Melgarejo and rushed to Adolfo's mansion overnight.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the Chinese reinforcements will arrive in Sucre by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and now that Melgarejo has taken the initiative to sue for peace, it is only possible if the Chinese reinforcements arrive in advance.

As long as Adolfo sent the Chinese messengers in Sucre City to contact the Chinese reinforcements, it was easy to confirm the truth of the news, and Adolphus judged that Melgarejo would not be stupid enough to use this news to deceive himself.

"Oh, no wonder Melgarejo couldn't sit still, it turned out that the Chinese Independence Army blocked the back road."

Determining the fact that Melgarejo had to make peace, Adolfo gloated.

"Melgarejo is doomed, and the next thing to think about is what to do with Melgarejo and his five thousand elite soldiers."

Frías looked at Adolfo Dao.

"Five thousand soldiers is indeed a nuisance." Adolfo frowned.

Adolpho's 5,000 soldiers are the most elite troops in Bolivia, and if he can take these 5,000 soldiers under his command, the situation in Bolivia will be much more stable, but these 5,000 soldiers are the last bargaining chip of Melgarejo's men, and he will not give up easily.

"Let's talk about the terms of the peace talks with Melgarejo first." Unable to come up with a suitable solution for the five thousand soldiers, Adolfo stopped thinking and asked directly about the conditions proposed by Melgarejo.

"Melgarejo voluntarily resigned from the presidency and was willing to hand over half of his property and land in Sucre to the national treasury, while he wanted to be given the post of military governor of La Paz and lead 5,000 troops to be stationed in La Paz."

"Melgarejo is still delusional at this time to stay in Bolivia and be a good thing, I think he is a pipe dream!"

Adolfo laughed angrily.

"Melgarejo is perverse at home, and it is impossible to keep him in La Paz as the military and political chief, but we also need to prevent him from fighting with us alone, after all, his 5,000 soldiers are also Bolivian troops, and it is not beneficial for anyone to fight hard." Frías analyzed.

"I understand what you said, Bolivia is not strong enough, Chile, Argentina and Brazil are watching from the sidelines, and if we lose both of Melgarejo, the situation in Bolivia will become very dangerous. I'm not going to risk my country and Melgarejo to the death. ”

Adolfo said in a low mood.

Adolfo will not hesitate in the decisive battle, but his current status is not only a general, he is also the de facto supreme controller of Bolivia, and every decision he makes now may have different consequences for Bolivia, so although he wants to catch Melgarejo and shoot him, reason tells him that he can't do it.

He is also responsible for the security of the entire country.

"Frías, you are in charge of the negotiations, but you have to have a bottom line for the outcome of the negotiations, that is, Melgarejo and his brother Balivian must leave Bolivia, and half of his property in Sucre can be returned to him, and his land will be recovered in full and distributed by the state."

Melgarejo's policy of acquiring Indian land gave him access to huge amounts of land that, once nationalized, could temporarily solve Bolivia's financial difficulties. And this is one of the reasons why Adolfo insisted on driving Melgarejo out of Bolivia.

Without a huge amount of land, Melgarejo could only work as a wealthy apartment abroad, and could no longer exert influence on domestic politics and the military.

"I will arrange the negotiations, but the affairs of the Chinese Independence Army need you to communicate with them personally, after all, they are still our allies, and negotiating with Melgarejo behind their backs will affect the cooperative relationship between the two sides."

"The presence of the Chinese Independence Army in Bolivia is a great threat to us, and it is better to send them away as soon as possible after the Melgarejo problem is resolved."

Referring to the Chinese Independence Army, Adolphus worried.

"The Chinese Independence Army poses little threat to us, and the key is to negotiate the terms of peace talks with Melgarejo as soon as possible to prevent accidents."

Frías persuaded.
