After agreeing with Adolfo on the terms of negotiation, Frias returned to his residence.

"Has General Adolfo agreed to our terms?"

Balivian said eagerly.

"No, Adolfo is not satisfied with your offers." Frías handed the hat to the servant, his face unhappy.

"Baliviaan, you have to be clear about your current situation, you and your brother's troops have been surrounded by General Adolf's army and the Chinese Independence Army,

For the sake of everyone being Bolivians, I didn't want the Bolivian army to kill each other, so I helped you convey General Adolfo's request for peace talks, but you disappointed me too much, General Adolfo was very angry when he heard your terms for peace talks, thinking that you had no sincerity in peace talks at all, and if I hadn't persuaded General Adolfo on the sidelines, you would now be facing the front and rear attacks of the government army and the Chinese Independence Army. ”

Frías threatened.

The Chinese Independence Army is still some distance away from Melgarejo's troops, and the Sucre defenders have not made contact with the Chinese Independence Army to jointly attack the outside of the city, but this information is not clear to Balivian, who is in a disadvantageous situation, and is facing the attacks of Adolfo and the Chinese Independence Army at any time, Balivian is now thinking about reaching peace talks with Adolfo, and has not calmed down to find the flaws in Frías's words.

"No, this is a misunderstanding, we are definitely asking for peace talks in good faith."

"Then show your sincerity, otherwise I won't be able to speak for you." Frías said lightly.

The five thousand troops outside the city were in a dangerous situation, and the longer it dragged on, the more detrimental it would be to the Melgarejo brothers.

"All of Sucre's land can be given to Adolfo, and we can hand over five thousand troops, but the army must be handed over to General Medellin."

Balivian lowered the terms of the peace talks, but Frías was not satisfied.

"All the land and the army must be handed over to the state for disposal, and half of the property can be retained, but you and your brother are not allowed to remain in Bolivia."

"Lord Frías, your conditions are too harsh for me to agree."

"Baliviaan, you have to think carefully about it, these conditions are the bottom line put forward by Adolfo himself, either accept the terms of peace talks or continue to fight, you have no third way to choose."

Ignoring Baliviaan's angry expression, Frías said unhurriedly.

"Fryas, don't push people too much, my brother still has five thousand elite soldiers in his hands, it's a big deal that everyone will die and the net will be broken, and no one will benefit at that time."

Frías's conditions went beyond the bottom line of Balivian and Melgarejo, and the loss of the presidency was acceptable to Melgarejo, but it would be unacceptable if even the last army fell into the hands of Adolphus, which is why Balivian was so excited.

"Fish dead and broken? Hehe, Baliviaan, haven't you seen the situation yet?

You have not shaken the walls of Sucre for a day today, and you are too naïve to threaten us now with a tired army. ”

Frías sarcastically said: "Baliviaan, give you a chance at the last time, agree to General Adolfo's conditions, obediently hand over the army and surrender, so that you will not be rich and noble for a lifetime." ”

Frías was aggressive, but Baliviaan's momentum disappeared little by little under his blows,

The situation was pressing, and if the negotiations failed, the death of the Melgarejo brothers would be a certainty, and Adolfo's group would lose at most part of their army, but they were still a long way from suffering heavy losses.

Frías grabbed Baliviaan's sore foot, and he couldn't help it.

"I agree with General Adolfo's terms, but the officers in the army must remain in their positions, otherwise we will not compromise if we fight to the death."

"You can rest assured that as long as they obey the leadership of General Adolf, we will never transfer them out of the army for no reason."

Frías said with a smile on his face.

Balivian agreed to Adolfo's terms, and Frías successfully completed his mission, so he did not want to get tangled with Balivian over the issue of officers, so he generously agreed to his request.

The two sides reached a consensus in principle, and the next few details were naturally completed without much effort, and then Balivian went back to report the results of the negotiations to Melgarejo, and Adolphus also rushed to inform the Chinese Independence Army of the news of the peace talks.

It is a bit unorthodox for Adolfo and Balivian to inform the Chinese Independence Army after they have reached terms for peace talks, but it is normal for Adolfo to be on Adolphus's side.

The rivalry between Melgarejo and Adolfo is an internal affair of Bolivia, and Adolfo chose to cooperate with the Chinese Independence Army because of his lack of strength, but now that Melgarejo is about to finish, Adolfo naturally wants to get rid of the Chinese Independence Army and act alone.

It was already the early morning of the next day when Li Mingyuan received the news of the peace talks between Melgarejo and Adolfo, and at this time, the Chinese Independence Army had begun to approach Melgarejo's army.

In the tent of the barracks, the high-ranking generals of the Chinese Independence Army scolded Adolfo for not being interesting enough and negotiating peace with the enemy behind the back of the Chinese Independence Army.

"Shizi, since they are not in charge, don't blame us for being unjust, just lead the army to occupy Sucre City and take the two groups of them together."

"General Li is right, we might as well occupy Bolivia and let the prince be the king."

……

The more the generals in the military tent talked, the more energetic they became, and the topic shifted from condemning Adolfo for carrying the Chinese Independence Army and Melgarejo to the occupation of Bolivia and hegemony.

"Be quiet and listen to me." Li Mingyuan stopped everyone's discussion and said, "It's really not authentic for Adolphus to negotiate peace with Melgarejo behind our back, but we can't turn against them because of this. ”

Li Mingyuan set the tone, and then explained: "You brothers have followed me to fight for thousands of miles, and I can understand the feelings of everyone who have endured hardships and suffered crimes, and want to find a stable place to stabilize them, but the transfer to southern Brazil is a major event related to the future development of the Chinese, and it cannot be delayed by things in Bolivia." ”

"Son, what about the perfidy of the Bolivians?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I expected that the Bolivians were unreliable, and they would ask us for help when they were in trouble, and once they got through it, they would definitely have a different attitude towards us.

Therefore, some time ago, I supported the Indians to establish an autonomous region to prevent today's incident, and now the Indian forces sent out have almost occupied the northern part of La Paz province, and at this time we can use the matter of the Indian autonomous region to bargain with the Bolivians. ”
