Chapter 150 VII Conditions for Negotiation
Seeing Baibasbahn, Biludas hurried forward. Baibasbar glanced at him with his eyes, and Bilyudas immediately understood the meaning, and then gave him a look back, and neither of them said a word, and Bilyudas only led Baibasbar to the tent of Senas.
In fact, Senas and Baibasbahn have known each other for a long time, and the two fought side by side more than ten years ago to defeat the attack of the Tukhi Great Khan Immidi. Years later, Basbar still remembers Senas's fiery red hair and bull-like body, but this body was a little older than it had been.
"Welcome, Lord Basbarne! I've been waiting for a long time. When he saw Baibasbar stepping into the tent, Senas immediately greeted him.
Bai Basbahn smiled in his heart - if Senas really waited for a long time, then he should at least greet him outside the tent, this move of the other party undoubtedly showed that he was on the inferior side. But at this moment, there was no need for him to show it, so he smiled and said, "Count Senas, I didn't think that I hadn't seen you for many years, but you were a great man." ”
The lord smiled. It is really a blessing for you to be able to have this little trick today, please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly. ”
Bai Basbahn was not polite, and sat down on his own, and immediately an attendant brought him ale and fruit. Basbahn doesn't usually drink alcohol, so he only took a bite of the fruit.
Senas smiled: "My lord is still the same as back then, obviously a drunkard who is not drunk with a thousand glasses, but he does not drink a single drink." ”
"A man with a sword doesn't necessarily have to kill, does he, do he, Lord Earl?" Baibasbahn replied.
Senas laughed, "Well said, my lord." What I'm going to say next may sound unbelievable, but I beg you to believe that this is true. ”
"Your Excellency, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Bai Basbahn said lightly.
Seeing this, Senas told Gizaro what he had said when he arrived. Babbasbahn listened quietly, but there was no fluctuation on his face, as if nothing that happened was anything that was relevant to his vital interests.
After Senas finished speaking, he did not forget to add: "My lord, please let me be blunt, I am really unhappy that you look like an old god is there no matter what happens, and this is one of the reasons why I decided to leave Bataana in the first place." ”
From the eye contact with Billudas just now, he knew that the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Paz army were all left in this area, which means that Senas intends to use his 50,000 men, so how to use this to achieve an advantageous position in the next negotiations is what he is thinking about at the moment.
"Lord Earl, I may ask a question. One thing that I have not understood is that your country has helped so much, what is the intention behind this? Babasbar asked.
Senas pondered for a moment and said, "Regarding this issue, in fact, I myself am a little unclear, because I have not received a direct will from His Royal Highness the Prince and His Majesty the Queen so far. But based on the analysis of the current situation, I can probably guess the intentions of His Royal Highness the Prince, so if you don't dislike it, you can try to talk about it? ”
"Please."
"Your current situation is worrying, my lord, and it is clear that I don't need to talk about it below. Penoncar has stripped you of all your titles and powers, so you are no longer the supreme commander of the Paz army in the name of the law of Paz. But every Paz officer and soldier knows that without your command, no one can return to their homeland alive. They will continue to support you as their commander, and I am confident of that. But even you would not object to my inference that not all of the 200,000 troops were of high moral character enough to defend your honor and position with their lives when they were safe. So the moment you return to Paz with this army, your army is in danger of falling apart, and this is the moment that Pennoncar is waiting for. He either wants your army to be wiped out and never to be seen again, or he is trying to divide and break up your army. I guess you agree with me on that. ”
"It's inevitable, and I certainly agree with you."
"Good. So let's start the second stage of inference. As you have just heard, the son of our Royal Highness was killed by the national teacher of your country, Nisinis, although this is only an illegitimate child, but according to the temper of our Royal Highness, he must take revenge. Your wife, Her Royal Highness Princess Midir, is currently imprisoned in the royal capital of Yekbada, and your son is on the verge of suffering the same fate. So I have reason to believe that on this point you and our Royal Highness the Prince can come to an agreement to crusade against Nisinis and Pennoncar. Therefore, we are trying our best to help you, that is, to lay the foundation of mutual trust and mutual assistance for our future cooperation, can you recognize this? ”
Bai Basbahn thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Of course I can approve of personal interests, but if your country has further diplomatic and even military intentions against Paz, I can't agree to it now." ”
"Hahaha, you're too worried, my lord." Senas smiled: "Although you can't pack a ticket in your majesty, but our Royal Highness the Prince is not as ambitious about the territory as he seems on the surface, except for the commercial aspect. And you don't have to worry about that, and you don't have the authority to make such a diplomatic agreement with you at this time. Even if there is a real intention in the future, it should be left to those who can be responsible to negotiate. What follows is the inference of the third step. If the above two points are established, then I think about further strengthening the cooperation between adults and our country, first of all, the first point is that you must be allowed to set foot on the land of Paz again as a hero! ”
"The identity of a hero?!"
"Not bad! If I can get your approval, my fleet, then my fleet will transport you and your elite troops to the Yapnir Peninsula, from where you can go straight to the Frankish Curia. Our army will do everything possible to provide you with sufficient logistical supplies, and the goal of the ambush set up here will also be changed from fighting the Frankish army to dragging down the Frankish army, so that they cannot return to the Holy See in time to help you succeed as soon as possible. Once you have conquered the Holy See and forced Frank to sign a favorable treaty with you, you will return to the land of Paz and you will be the great hero of the people of Paz. Even if the king treacherously cuts off your food supplies and robs you of your position and rank, but you still return with honor, then not only will your army not leave you, but more people of Paz will join you in the crusade against the shameless king. ”
"Does the Earl mean that it is possible that His Royal Highness the Prince of your country wants me to replace Pennoncar as King of Paz?" Basbahn said as he stared at Senas.
