An agreement was reached with Gudapa that Bailiyan immediately sent two teams of royal guests, one to Baihe and Sikong Nan Daying, and the other to cross the river with Gudapa and go to Delangi via Posong Province.

After Gudapa left, Jiang Jie stepped forward and asked:

"My lord, that one million silver coins can obviously be claimed back in a bright and bright way, why do you have to give him a favor!"

Bai Liyan's face was unfathomable, and her smile was ruthless:

"You think the million silver coins are in Yabuk's hands?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

"I'm willing to bet that these million silver coins must have been sent to Posong City to recruit new soldiers for military supplies. Of course, the cost is definitely not as fast, but I don't know how many aristocratic officials in the middle have to stretch out their hands and cards to be exploited, how much do you think Gudapa can get back? ”

"But the adults know that if they don't come back, then why do you mention it."

"Exposing their scars, of course. In terms of land area, the administrative territory of Posong Province is larger than that of Sondia Province, and to the east it is all uncultivated land, excluding the Central Plains people, and the population is also larger than that of Songdia. However, the finances and people's livelihood of Po Song Province are much inferior to that of Sundia, although the province of Po Song was established more than 100 years later than Sundia, but after hundreds of years of development, it should be richer than Sundia.

And from what has been known, Po Song province has three more silver mines than Sondia province, and one more gold mine. According to recent information, the officials and nobles of Posong Province are more greedy than those of Sundia Province, and the ruling nobles of the two provinces belong to different aristocratic factions, which leads to the entanglement of their interests in the Guanguan and outside the Guan.

Therefore, the situation of the nobles in these two provinces is exactly the opposite of that outside the Guan, which means that the nobles in Posong Province have more private property. After Gudapa returned to Posong City, there was only one result, due to the greed of the nobles, after paying the ransom this time, these nobles would inevitably become the targets of punishment for the core of power in the future power struggle. This will cause them to be divided internally, and even fall into turmoil, which is good for us, even if we lose a million silver coins, but the Central Plains will have a chance to breathe. ”

"But the outside of the border has been beaten like this by us, Jin Xuedi is afraid that he will not be able to recover within fifty years, and he can continue to commit crimes in the north?"

"You are underestimating them, don't forget, their roots are in Guannei, we only hurt their two provinces this time, there are more provinces in Guannai, tens of millions of people. Therefore, before our army leaves, we must leave them with enough hidden dangers. ”

With years of experience in warfare, Bailiyan has more or less mastered the internal situation of some local ruling classes.

The reason why the Xian army was able to grow rapidly at the beginning was that in addition to the right strategy, the corruption and degeneration of the local aristocracy and numbness undoubtedly played a role in fueling the troubles. Without Kabias's numbness and greed, Gudapa could have easily extinguished the Salty army, or even the coalition army.

Bai Liyan believed that the local aristocracy would quickly turn into internal contradictions and conflicts of interest for the sake of their own interests and rights under external pressure, and the resulting post-war political chaos and imbalance of order would win the Central Plains decades of border tranquility.

Gudapa left the east shore and boarded the west shore by boat. As expected by Bailiyan, Yabuke sent one million silver coins back to Posong City while transferring Mooney to Posong City, preparing to gather troops and horses to fight again, and Gudapa had to hurry back to Posong City.

When Bailiyan's order was passed to Bai's camp, he had already preemptively defeated Bethsenz, and he was considered to have done the last vote. However, Bailiyan's order also attached another clause, other unincorporated or unable to incorporate the Central Plains, as far as possible to scatter sufficient weapons to them for self-defense, Bailiyan only promised the coalition armistice truce, and he couldn't control the rest.

Gudapa rushed back to the city on the fifth day of the eighth month, and with little of the million silver coins divided, Kabias refused the ransom demand.

Gudapa's persuasion failed for two days, so he had to order a self-raised ransom, but the meeting refused, and he was dismissed as the executive of Posong City and sent to prison. The excuse is that Gudapa deviated from the armistice of the Moon God King and secretly colluded with foreign enemies to betray his own interests.

On the ninth day of the eighth month, Gudappa's letter was delivered to the Temir camp, and the Bailiyan letter was delivered to the hands of Delangji Gongliangwen by the royal guest on the tenth day of the first month, and then transferred to Su Fangyi.

The armistice came suddenly, and Su Fangyi and Gongliangwen were unprepared. Gongliangwen, Gongliangsong, and Gongliangxiu didn't expect the armistice to come so quickly, and felt that the reason for the suddenness was that they had not plundered a few towns decently, which undoubtedly gave Bailiyan a big advantage.

"This Gongzi Yan, he made a lot of money, but he reached a truce with the white-haired thief behind my back, it's really annoying!" Gongliangsong scolded, and broke a big hole in Bailiyan in his heart.

Gongliangwen was silent for a moment and said:

"He also has his difficulties, if we don't make a quick decision, we will have to fight for several months, and then the situation will be even more unfavorable for our army."

At this time, Gongliang Xiu hurriedly said:

"Second uncle, cousin, Gongzi Yan has promised to share my treasure, I don't think I have to worry."

"Cousin, you're light. He said that he would divide it, you know how much he robbed, and how much he shared in private, you know or I know. Gongliang said anxiously.

"It is undeniable that he must have intercepted it in private, but he categorically did not dare to deceive me too much, and Gongzi Yan should be measured in this regard."

"At the end of the day, we still don't have as much as he does."

"This may not be, the people of the Central Plains obtained by the second uncle are all young and strong, although there are millions of people in Bailiyan, their young and strong men and women are the same as us, and there will not be too much. When they return to the Central Plains, the cost of settling down for these millions of old and weak women and children is a large part, which is a bit of a advantage, but with the national strength of the Xian country, it is still a little difficult for a long time. ”

"Well, Xiu'er is right." Gongliangwen affirmed Gongliangxiu, and then continued: "The people are the foundation of the country, and the Black Turban Army took away two million people from our northwest at one time. As long as Bailiyan doesn't go too far, we won't suffer a loss after a long time. ”

"Father, do you think so!"

Gongliang Song said angrily, and Gongliang Wen counted him and said:

"On weekdays, you are asked to read more about the way of national security, but you only know the art of war. Now you don't know anything about helping the people in the world, but you have to complain about the injustice of the world, what is the reason? The things involved today are all ways to govern the government and secure the people, and they are important in the long run. ”

Although Gong Liangsong's temperament is a little strong, he knows that he can change his mistakes, and quickly admits his mistakes:

"Yes, what the father taught is that the child knows ...... wrong"

"It's like words. Xiu'er. ”

"What does the second uncle command?"

"Although the overall situation is determined, Jin Xuedi people are capricious and cannot be fully trusted. Baili Yan's letter also told you and me to beware of changes in their nobles, so the vigilance of various places should not be relaxed, beware of them taking the opportunity to sneak attack again! ”

Gongliangwen was not assured of the sincerity of the armistice, and he also saw the clue in Bailiyan's letter, and the two sides did not agree on any conditions for the armistice, which was obviously abnormal.

On 12 August, the Soviets sent a message to Temir ordering him to withdraw his troops from Xishan to Delangi, but Temir did not approve it, but asked the coalition forces to remove the warships on the Waterfall River and let him cross the river, so the two armies were at a stalemate.

On 14 August, the ship returned to Manibarça again, carrying away more than 90,000 women, women and children.

On the 16th of August, the first batch of gold and silver promised by Cahorn arrived at the camp of Manibasa, a total of 120,000 gold coins, 1,500,000 silver coins, as well as horses, unicorns, and grain and grass, and the remaining 60,000 gold coins and 800,000 silver coins were to be delivered to Norlanton within fifteen days.

Bailiyan immediately sent scouts to withdraw Sikong Nan to the Baihe camp first, and ordered Cahorn to hand over the raised goods to Sikong Nan and Baihe's army, and withdraw the troops as soon as the goods arrived. So on the twenty-first day of August, Sikong Nan and Baihe immediately began to withdraw eastward after receiving the spot.

On August 31, Sikong Nan and Baihe Pioneer arrived in Manibarsa, and more than 350,000 people from the Central Plains arrived one after another.

At this time, the coalition army had more than 90,000 male and female war horses, nearly 100,000 male and female unicorn horses, more than 140,000 pack horses, and countless heavy grain, grass, pigs, cattle and sheep. And obtained a complete map of the territory of Jinxuedi, thus basically completing the general outline of the continent in the southern hemisphere, a huge land plate in the shape of scallops.

At the end of August, Gudapa did not reply to the letter, neither the ransom nor the reply. Bailiyan judged that it should not be Gudapa who broke his promise, but the aristocratic bureaucrats of Posong Province who had a problem. He immediately lined up on the east bank of Manibasa, met with Yabuuk, and gave him an ultimatum.

Yabuk could not withstand the coercion and intimidation of Bailiyan, so he sent someone to ask Temir quickly, but Temir was still in the dark for some reason, and sent someone to Posong City again to inquire about the sick Mooney, who was already under house arrest at this time, and Kabias replied to Temir and ordered him to hold the eastern and western front and delay it until the winter.

"Kabias, this dog mongrel, parasite, this will anger Bailiyan!"

"Your Excellency, it's Bailiyan's greedy nature, and he wants too much ransom!" Nakikas said.

"But the question is do we still have the capital to negotiate ransom with them, no, we don't have the capital! These damn bastards, even if I send another 200,000 troops until this winter, maybe it's a good suggestion, or even a genius decision.

Now we have just over 400,000 men, most of whom are new recruits, but we have to defend two places. Oh my God, we are facing six or seven hundred thousand people, and they are enemies who are far superior to us, should we send hundreds of thousands of people to die in vain! ”

"But now that the wood is in the boat, and His Excellency Mooney's situation is unknown, we have no right to interfere with the decision of Po Song Province."

"Then we can't wait for the whole army to be wiped out, something must be done." Temir said frantically.

"But we now have no conditions other than to stubbornly defend the border, and we have no conditions to force Bailiyan to continue to abide by the armistice agreement that has been reached."

"No, if he wants the money, we'll give it to him!"

"But we don't have the money!"

"Let them take it themselves. Yabuk was ordered to get Bailiyan's handwritten guarantee that as long as Bailiyan promised not to loot the towns and villages along the way, he could let him go east. ”

"But isn't there still no money?"

"He will definitely go to Posong City, and let Kabias bargain with the devil when the time comes."

"Your Excellency, if Your Majesty knows, we will all be hanged!"

"That's better than being killed by Bailiyan all the way from the west to our heads. Don't you know what Bailiyan said to Mooney, they have their own hands, and if we don't give them, they will always get everything they want. It's just blackmail now, and if we push them, we'll have nothing left. Go and don't delay! ”

From this day on, the "Devil's Hand Baili Yan" is like a scar torn all the time, forever branded in the history of Jinxuedi civilization.
