Chapter 560: Squeezing to Death

Agulie was unhappy, and the previous excitement would completely turn into sadness and anger. As the conversation deepened, Mao Wenlong's requirements became more and more outrageous. 50,000 ploughing cattle was already the limit that the entire grassland could give at present, and after consulting with the other elders, Agulie finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

In short, as long as Mao Wenlong's request is within a tolerable range, then Agulie will agree to it one by one after a little hesitation.

Three full days passed, and the trade negotiations were progressing rapidly. Although the process was very painful for Agulie, everything went smoothly. Today is the last day, as long as Mao Wenlong's last request can be met today, then all the things mentioned earlier can be realized one by one, and the exchange of materials can also be carried out practically.

Agulie had been ready to meet Mao Wenlong early, and in the midst of anxious waiting, he finally saw the familiar figure of Haoda appear. As usual, Haoda was still so meticulous, and after informing Agulie that they were going to meet Mao Wenlong, he turned around and led the way in front, and he never said a word on the way.

Agulie has always wanted to win over Haoda, he knows that Haoda is the closest person to Mao Wenlong, and he gets along with Mao Wenlong day and night. If he can buy Haoda, it would be of great help to ask him to speak a lot of good words for them in Mao Wenlong's ears or to find out some of Mao Wenlong's thoughts.

It's a pity that the vastness of the oil and salt does not enter, which makes Agulie very disappointed, and he has worked hard for three days, but has not received any response from Haoda.

Mao Wenlong was in a good mood today, and he and Agulie had been inking for three days, and finally waited for the most critical moment. Today's meeting is what determines the success of this exchange of materials, and Mao Wenlong does not dare to be careless.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the hall at the right time, and Mao Wenlong raised his eyes and saw Haoda leading Agulie and them to arrive. The two sides have been in contact with each other for the past few days, and they are already very familiar with each other.

After bowing to each other, they sat down peacefully, Mao Wenlong was very direct, he laughed and said: "Today, the general soldier has only one request, if Mr. Agu can agree, then our exchange can be carried out at any time." ”

Agulie breathed a sigh of relief that the three-day ordeal was finally coming to an end, and it was a moment worth celebrating. In an agitated mood, he stood upright, clenched his fists and solemnly said to Mao Wenlong: "Please say your last request." ”

Mao Wenlong laughed three times before he said: "War horses, 100,000 war horses!" ”

"War Horse ......"

As soon as Mao Wenlong's voice fell, Agulie and the others exclaimed.

"Chief soldier, this is impossible, war horses are our most precious things in the grassland, and they are the treasures that our children of the grassland rely on for survival. You ask for 100,000 horses as soon as you open your mouth, which is absolutely impossible. Agulie yelled excitedly.

Not to mention 100,000 horses, even 50,000 horses Huang Taiji will definitely not agree, and Agulie doesn't need to ask about this, he has already dared to make up his mind.

"100,000 war horses, there is no room for bargaining, if we don't send 100,000 war horses, our replacement doesn't need to be negotiated." Mao Wenlong's cold voice struck Agulie's heart fiercely.

Cold sweat broke out on Agulie's forehead at the moment, and he only reacted at this time. It turned out that Mao Wenlong's humility was just paving the way for this ultimate goal. Falling straight from heaven to the ground and being smashed to pieces is not so easy to bear.

Mao Wenlong looked at Agulie, who was already completely stupid, and said coldly again: "This general soldier can give you another three days, and you can go and ask your Great Khan first." If you want the exchange of supplies to continue smoothly, then let your Great Khan give this general an answer within three days. ”

After speaking, Mao Wenlong didn't allow Agulie to say anything more about them, and directly ordered to send off the guests.

Mao Wenlong's resolute attitude made Agulie completely unable to parry, and under the huge send-off, they could only leave unwillingly.

After Agulie and the others left, Chen Qiyu asked Mao Wenlong with some concern: "General soldiers, 100,000 war horses, Huang Taiji may really not agree." ”

Chen Qiyu didn't expect that Mao Wenlong would ask for 100,000 horses as soon as he opened his mouth, the current Huang Taiji is indeed very powerful, but to send 100,000 war horses at once, there is no difference from asking for Huang Taiji's life. Chen Qiyu was sure that if Huang Taiji really sent 100,000 war horses to exchange supplies, in the next few years, the grassland would face an embarrassing scene of no horses to ride.

And the steppe warriors without their war horses are like losing their legs, and their strength will be greatly affected. In this troubled world surrounded by powerful enemies, this is no different from self-destruction.

Mao Wenlong seemed to be very indifferent, and he explained in a dark voice: "Regardless of whether Huang Taiji agrees or not, he wants to get supplies from me to let his people survive the winter." Then it is necessary to ensure that they do not come to harass the Ming border again. Only if Huang Taiji is no longer a threat to us, then we can give him the supplies he needs. ”

Chen Qiyu suddenly came to his senses, indeed, if he didn't bring all the war horses on the grassland, Jin Bing would always be the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty.

After Mao Wenlong made his request, he waited for Huang Taiji's reply with peace of mind, and he believed that Huang Taiji would finally agree to his request. As long as he needs supplies from Mao Wenlong to help the people of the grassland survive the cold winter, he must agree.

As for the attack on Da Ming that Huang Taiji threatened before, Mao Wenlong had completely ignored it. The Huang Taiji in front of him is not the opponent of the Dongjiang Army at all, if it were not for the lack of strength of the Dongjiang Army now, even the entire north would not be completely covered. Perhaps, Mao Wenlong would have sent troops to conquer Huang Taiji a long time ago.

Huang Taiji received a letter from Agulie on the same day, and when he learned that Mao Wenlong actually asked him to hand over 100,000 war horses, Huang Taiji was directly furious.

"Damn Mao Wenlong, he's trying to force Ben Khan to go to war with him directly." Huang Taiji was furious.

Seeing that the cold winter was coming at any time, he had been inking with Mao Wenlong for so many days, so he had no other way out. If he had enough time, he could have traveled more places and exchanged supplies with people from other places, knowing that it might not be enough in the end, but it was better than nothing.

Huang Taiji had a feeling that he had been tricked by Mao Wenlong at the moment, and he also understood that Mao Wenlong had deliberately delayed for half a month, which was completely strangling time, so that he could not find a way from elsewhere.

Now Huang Taiji really has only two ways to go, either he agrees to Mao Wenlong's request and sends 100,000 war horses over. Either refuse directly, and then the two armies will directly have a life-and-death battle when this cold winter comes.
