Worth Lake can not be moved, but the specimens can be taken away, whether they are known or not, they can be left for rapid research after the development of technology in the future, so that they do not have to waste more time and energy, and the excavation and demonstration all over the world will undoubtedly have an immeasurable effect on the development of decades later. ∑

Walking through the mud and approaching the north shore, Mooney found that Bailiyan had picked up these strange stones with unattractive flowers, and when he saw this, his suspicion was even heavier.

"Bailiyan, you are really interested, have you found the baby!" Mooney scoffed.

Bailiyan straightened her waist, wiped the sweat from her forehead with muddy hands, and disagreed:

"Such a huge treasure, Your Excellency turned a blind eye, if General Ben said that he didn't find it, would Your Excellency believe it!"

Mooney frowned, and quickly thought about Bailiyan's every word, but it was not the point. So I turned to the old thing:

"Bailiyan, today is the past four days, are you just dragging it on?"

"It depends on your attitude, 3.5 million stone grain and grass, 300,000 unicorns, everyone is indispensable, and other than that, everything is easy to talk about."

"Yes, but you must also agree to our additional requests."

"Oh, what request?"

"You must not take with you any of the gold and silver you plundered, nor all the precious treasures you have, but you must keep them!"

"Hehe......" Bai Liyan sneered and remained silent.

He was well aware that the wealth plundered since the beginning of the war was in the millions and tens of millions, although it was only a small part of the wealth outside the border.

But this money is enough to arm an army of one million in a short period of time, and considering the collapse of the economy outside the border, the sharp decline in livestock, and the increased logistical burden, even if it is discounted, it is not a price that the coalition forces can bear.

Seeing that Bailiyan was silent, Mooney continued:

"As long as you leave the treasure, I can give you 150,000 unicorns at once, how about it!"

Hearing the news, he was given 150,000 unicorns, and Bailiyan himself felt that he was dreaming:

"Your Excellency is not making empty promises to deceive the generals, right?"

"As long as you leave behind the treasure, I can agree to the request you just made. But after you return north, the unicorn still needs to be returned to my people, what do you think? ”

"You have gone back on your word, how will I believe you?"

"I'll ship the unicorn to Bathcareach first, and we can trade it in Bathsgalle, how about it."

Bai Liyan sneered:

"Hehe, you took the treasure, all we got was 150,000 unicorns, and when the money arrived, you could arm hundreds of thousands of people, and our army was far away from Derangi, and we were dragged down by unicorns along the way, don't you think this deal is ridiculous?"

"This is our maximum tolerance and we cannot talk about it again."

"No, it should be said that our army has tolerated you for a long time. If you are sincere, it would be fairer that we could make an agreement with each other first, and then your army would open the road for our army to retreat to Drangi, and then make a deal. ”

"Yes, we can trade when you arrive in Dranki, and we can give you the rest by the way, but you can only take the route we have set for you!"

Mooney readily agreed, and Bai Liyan remained silent and continued to bargain:

"The route of the march can only be chosen by ourselves, and you cannot follow it."

"It can't be. You burn and loot all the way, how do I know that you will not do evil again, you must follow our established route. ”

"Why, Your Excellency is still worried that our army is hundreds of thousands of people, old and young, robbing your towns, don't you think it's ridiculous!"

"But in fact you have already done so, there is no room for negotiation on this road, you must follow the route we have specified!"

"Okay then......" Bai Liyan's tone softened, and he gave in: "I can listen to you by land, but I can only listen to us by water." Of course, if you want to save some face on the water, you can try it. ”

"Okay, you take your water route, I'll take my land route, that's it, why don't you make an agreement this afternoon?"

"I'm not busy, I'm going to look for treasures, wait for tomorrow."

"Yes, then wait for tomorrow."

After the details were settled, Mooney departed. Seeing him go away, Jiang Jie hurriedly said:

"My lord, there is clearly a deception in this!"

"It's a fraud, but it's not as simple as you think."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Do you know how Mooney calculated our army, and how Ben planned him?"

"My subordinates don't know, but my subordinates know that if we leave Kelownas, even if the forces are evenly divided, I'm afraid it will be difficult to parry."

"But Mooney wouldn't think so, and how could Ben be unaware of the weakness of our army.

Mooney expected that the general would also be delaying time, and after his troops on the eastern front were transferred to the western front, then the Eastern Front Gongliangwen, Su Fangyi and the Temir Army would be equal in combat strength, but our army was far from the top, and Mooney saw this, and he could only fight with our army quickly.

But the problem is that our army is cowering in Kelownas, and if he attacks, he will not be able to take it for a while. At the same time, after the connection between our navy and Sikong Nan and Bai He, it is bound to withdraw the old and weak, and at the same time besiege on the western front, when Mooney will not be able to attack for a long time, and when the dilemma is in place, if Gongliangwen and Su Fangyi break through on the eastern front, and our army jumps to the east bank with the help of the navy, they will be finished. ”

"If this is the case, it is beneficial to our army, why should you agree to his conditions?"

"Because there is something I have to say yes."

"What?" Jiang Jie asked.

"One hundred and fifty thousand unicorns! There were almost no cavalry available on the Eastern Front, so Mooney's transfer of troops from the Eastern Front was mostly to order the infantry to come on unicorns, which was not too slow. With the addition of his accompanying horses, there are no 150,000, and there should always be 100,000.

If you think about it, the 150,000 unicorns in his hands are half of the unicorns that supplied the 800,000 army last year, and now they are all in Sundia. If Mooney had not been taken to Po Song Province, which had not been privately owned by the people, there would have been only 15 to 200,000 unicorns, and the two groups of unicorns would be placed in two places, and no matter which batch our army took away, it would not be able to meet the needs of more than 1 million people returning to the north.

Therefore, Mooney took out 150,000 unicorns as capital, which is to force Ben to fight with him, and if I do not do this, even if I can safely withdraw from the waterway to Deranki, he will not admit it at that time, and divide the unicorns into two places, and then our army will jump out of Sondia, and it will be very troublesome to threaten from his rear. ”

"In that case, isn't Mooney worried about the general's deception?"

"He used the unicorn as bait to force the main force of our army to take the route he designated, and to take a risk on the road, and if our army wants to win, there are only two results. One of them is accompanied by a naval army, and in the event of a defeat or victory, most of the soldiers and horses can be recovered. The second division of troops was tentative, and the navy carried troops to raid.

The former is the fastest, but it is bound to come at the cost of the old and weak women and children staying in Kelownas, the winner takes all, and the loser goes bankrupt.

The latter is more secure, but the speed is slow, and Mooney is sure that he will go this way, but it will take at least two months to complete the transfer with hundreds of thousands of people, and it is not easy to intercept the unicorn by hand.

At that time, people and horses will be divided into two roads from the water and land, and small batches will go. But as a result, the defenders of Kelownas, the elderly, the weak, the women and the children were gradually reduced to half, and when the battle power was unbalanced, Mooney tore up the agreement and suddenly attacked, and our army will ignore it.

Even if our army returned safely to the eastern front, and Mooney did not admit it, our army was transferred from Sondia, and by that time it was already autumn, the water level had dropped, and most of the northern barbarian kings would have to return south, and a delay would be winter, and at this time in the next year, our army would be attacked on its back.

You say, "The deception is deep or shallow." ”

"The subordinates are ashamed of themselves, I didn't expect it to be so dangerous, this is not answered, the two armies continue to consume, and it is difficult for our army to return north. agreed, it was inevitable that there would be a vicious battle, which was really nerve-wracking. Since the adults should make this plan, don't they already have a countermeasure? ”

"Hehe, that's of course, if there is no countermeasure, how can you easily agree to him."

Mooney expected that Bailiyan would take risks for the sake of 150,000 unicorns, but in fact he had no choice.

If you don't get the 150,000 unicorns in Mooney's hands, you will not have a chance to capture many unicorns in the future, so Bailiyan will not give up this opportunity, so she successfully transferred the defenders of Kelownas.

On the way back to the camp, Mooney and Norenga said:

"Send someone to pick up some stones from the lake and send them to the Posong Provincial Academy, so that the master and priest can see what these stones are used for."

"Your Excellency, the northerners behave strangely, how can we trust them, maybe it's their conspiracy."

"If it's useless, what is Bailiyan doing with such a lot of enthusiasm to collect these stones. Do as I tell you to do now! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Mooney believed that Bailiyan must be of some use for collecting colorful stones, but he would never understand what it was for. After all, he does not have the knowledge and experience accumulated by Bailiyan in his previous life, let alone advanced concepts and cognition, and he will never know what the future will look like.

So on the same day, Wu Bailiyan and other 500 people collected more than a dozen mineral specimens, laying a solid foundation for mineral research and prospecting work in a few years.

The next day, each took the agreement drawn up last night and met in the woods on the west side of Yablia.

The two sides exchanged agreements, and Bailiyan had no objections to the agreement provided by Mooney, in fact, there would be no objections, but it was just a formality, and everyone understood it in their hearts, but only Mooney asked after getting Bailiyan's agreement:

"What do you want a unicorn to do here?"

"Of course, it's sure if there are 150,000 horses, and if there is one less, I don't admit it."

"150,000 unicorns, how can they be counted one by one."

Mooney questioned, and Bai Liyan said falsely:

"Is there still a reason to buy goods without inspecting them, I think you will eventually count the treasures in our hands one by one, isn't it, as for how to count at that time, this general naturally has this general's method, and your Excellency just brings the unicorn here."

"Even if you want to inspect the goods, there has just been an earthquake in Ablia, and you have to change places!"

"No, it can only be in Yablia, our army will leave Kelownas for Yablia first, until we see 150,000 unicorns, our army will fulfill other agreements, otherwise the previous agreements will be annulled."

"You're a scoundrel!"

"Don't say it so ugly, unless you see it with your own eyes, who believes that your Excellency has 150,000 unicorn horses in your hands, or 150,000 iron horses, sharpening knives and hiding in the dark waiting for our army, it is better to see clearly."
