The Han people under the city walls, who were also spectators, erupted in earth-shattering cheers. After the Liaodong Tunnel City was broken by the Liaodong Army, the people in the city suffered, and their families were ruined, which was extremely miserable. Now seeing the Liaodong Army that destroyed their family and killed them being beheaded, they all burst into tears.

The reason why Zhao Xun let these people gather here to watch is to let them know that the Xiaoguo army has avenged them, and they should cheer up.

After watching a few rounds, Zhao Xun asked the people to leave, of course, those who were willing to stay were also free. On the earthen platform, groups of Liaodong Army prisoners were escorted up and turned into headless corpses. A team of Tatars became executioners.

These people first betrayed the Su Mo and joined the Liaodong Army. Now in order to survive, tens of thousands of Liaodong troops have been killed, and in the future, except for the land of the Xiaoguo army, they will have no place to rely on.

The purpose of the Xiaoguo Army is naturally clear to the people of the Devil, but do they have a choice? Compared with survival, everything else is not a problem, besides, the Liaodong Army is not their kindred, nor is it as strong as the Xiaoguo Army, and it can't keep them.

From the beginning of the morning until noon, except for the faces of the officers and men of the Xiaoguo Army, the faces of the dozens of envoys who watched were all pale. The envoy of the Liaodong Army watched his captives being killed one by one, hating in his heart, but he was helpless. The Liaodong army captives begged for mercy at the beginning and later insulted, but they could not change the determination of the Xiaoguo army to kill them.

At noon, Zhao Xun invited the generals to a banquet and began the formal peace of the ministries.

In fact, the envoy of the Liaodong Army wanted to unite the three divisions of Su Mo and Khitan to fight back together, and he believed that the three attacked at the same time, and the Xiaoguo Army was definitely not so arrogant.

If the three clans really work together and work together to fight back, the Xiaoguo Army is indeed not as powerful as it is now, demonstrating in front of the various tribes, and even entering a situation of passive defense. But the three clans really can't work together, and the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Jin tribe have been fighting for decades, how can they let go of their hatred for each other and attack the Xiaoguo army together? They will only let each other fight, and their own side will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. The three Khitan tribes have no hatred with the two tribes, but they do not border with the two tribes and cannot work together.

As long as the Xiaoguo army attacks one side with all its might, the other two sides will not be able to fully support. The reason why Zhao Xun convened the clans to discuss peace was not that he really wanted to negotiate peace, but he wanted to teach the three clans a good lesson, but the logistics could no longer support it. Especially in order to relocate the people, a lot of grain and grass are good on this, if it is not for the seizure of a lot of cattle and sheep in Liaodong and Sumo, I am afraid it would be even worse.

Therefore, Zhao Xun gave up continuing the attack, and made the three departments surrender by means of coercion, and took out cattle, sheep and horses to supplement the loss of the Xiaoguo army.

The luncheon is very simple, there are no luxurious dishes, only some simple local vegetables and beef, mutton and so on.

"Forgive me, because of the shameless raid of the Liaodong Army, there is a shortage of materials in my Liaodong Tunnel City, so this luncheon can only be done!" Zhao Xun said lightly.

What else can the messengers of the tribes say? What's more, after watching the beheading for a long time, they don't have a good appetite.

"Hmph...... What does it taste like? ”

"yes, what smell, pungent and unpleasant?"

In the middle of the banquet, there was a sudden unpleasant and pungent smell, and everyone couldn't help frowning.

"Don't worry, it's soldiers outside the city burning the bodies. The weather is hot in August, and a bad one will lead to the plague, so this corpse needs to be burned in time. Bao Muyang said with a smile while eating mutton. The pungent smell did not affect his appetite in the slightest.

After lunch, the envoys of all ethnic groups gathered, and Zhang Qian and Zhang Yu also stayed. Because it's not a secret thing, Zhao Xun doesn't care about everyone negotiating together.

"Envoy of the Su Mo Yan Tribe, my condition is that the land south of Heicheng is 100 wide miles long and 300 miles long belongs to my Xiaoguo army, in addition, your department needs to compensate 5,000 war horses and cattle, and 30,000 sheep." Hu Xiang spoke on behalf of Zhao Xun.

After listening to Hu Xiang's words, he looked at Zhao Xun, who was silent, and said with a difficult face: "Heicheng is an important city in the south of my Su Mo Ministry, and it should not be taken lightly. Thirty thousand sheep is enough, but there are not enough cattle and horses. "The loss of war horses will only enhance the strength of the Xiaoguo army, and there are not many cattle in themselves.

Hu Xiang sneered: "A major city in the south? You want to defend us? Do you think your black city is stronger than Liaokou City? There are more defenders than the Liaodong Army in Liao Tunnel City? ”

The head of the Zuo household was speechless for a moment, yes, the Xiaoguo Army even knocked down the Liao Tunnel City, and your black city is a hair. Heicheng was not originally a big city, because the land of Sanfu in the south was occupied by them, so Heicheng was only an inland city, far from the border. But now it is different, the Eastern Three Mansions have been recovered by the Xiaoguo Army, Heicheng is the southern border city, and more importantly, the three hundred miles long in the south of Heicheng is a good pasture. Giving up to the Xiaoguo army, they are really unwilling.

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "South of Heicheng, including Heicheng, a hundred miles wide and three hundred miles long, my Xiaoguo army is imperative, if you don't want to, then I will go and get it personally, and when the time comes, you will lose it without knowing the land of a hundred miles." As for war horses, cattle and sheep, 50,000 sheep and 2,000 horses and cattle, how? ”

The head of the left household of the Su Mo Ya Department opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say. Refuse? Also joking, when he set off, he already knew that the Eight Banners of the Xiaoguo Army had already marched towards Heicheng, and the villages and towns that passed through it, those who surrendered were fine, those who did not surrender, the men were all killed, and the women and children were all robbed by the Eight Banners of the Arrow, and the money and materials were looted. If they are allowed to reach the territory of the Sumo Tribe, who knows what will happen.

It's not that the beggar is afraid of the Xiaoguo army and doesn't dare to fight against it. It's just that if it goes on like this, it will only make the millet millet more and more weak. The Xiaoguo army can kill 100,000 or 200,000 people in battle, but the Sumo Yan tribe cannot. This is the gap in population, the death of millions of people under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army will not shake the foundation of the Xiaoguo Army at all, but if the Su Mo Yan tribe loses so many people, it will basically be wiped out.

The other departments did not speak, Zhao Xunzhi was strong and cold-blooded, enough to make them shut their mouths. Zhang Qian and Zhang Yu were secretly surprised by Zhao Xun's majesty in the north, what is the difference between the Northern Zhuhu and the mice under the cat's paws? It can be seen that the strength of the Xiaoguo army and Zhao Xun's status in Youzhou.

The face of the head of the Zuo household of the Su Mo Jing Department changed a few times, and finally he smiled bitterly: "I can agree to the conditions of the Metropolitan Governor, but the Xiaoguo Army under the command of the Metropolitan Governor is not allowed to go north to Heicheng at will, and at the same time, open up commerce and trade between Youzhou and our department." This is also the bottom line given by the beggar for aid.

Zhao Xun knocked on the table gently, and the crisp sound made everyone feel extremely depressed, and the head of the left household of the Su Mo Yan Department was even more nervously waiting for Zhao Xun's decision. If Zhao Xun disagrees, there will only be a war. Of course, war is only the last helpless choice, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it, and the current Xiaoguo army can't be provoked.

"Okay, I agreed to your conditions, and your department and I are bounded by Heicheng, and we are not allowed to cross the border with each other. A trade route between the two sides was opened, allowing merchants from both sides to trade with each other. ”

Subsequently, the two men signed the covenant, and the rest of the tribes were witnesses, and they also left their signatures. Of course, everyone knows that this thing doesn't last long.

"Khitan Tripart!" Zhao Xun said lightly, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry in his tone.

"The Grand Duke!" Most of the envoys of the three tribes are the sons of the patriarchs of the three tribes, which is equivalent to princes.

"You and the other three attacked me in Youzhou for no reason, should you give me an explanation? Otherwise, in the future, everyone will be like you, and I will be tired to death, and I will have to come back and forth every day to rescue. My Xiaoguo army is not something that anyone can humiliate, and if you do it, you have to pay the price. ”

The three princes confessed their mistakes in unison, and they all said that they were willing to offer 3,000 horses and 5,000 sheep as a gift.

"Three thousand horses and five thousand sheep each? How? Do you think I'm a vegetable seller? Zhao Xun said angrily.

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the prince of the three tribes, and the prince of the Daji Department said: "Dadu Governor, we don't want to have more, we are different from the Su Mo Yan Ministry, the tribe has few people, and they all depend on grazing for a living, and there are indeed not many spare livestock." ”

Zhao Xun said lightly: "This attack on my Shunzhou Mansion is not only the three of you, right?" ”

"There is also the Fenwen Department, which has more than 200,000 people under its jurisdiction and can gather more than 80,000 troops, which is stronger than any of our three departments, and this attack on the Metropolitan Governor is also their meaning."

More than 200,000 people, can gather 80,000 soldiers, this nomadic people is powerful, men, women and children are soldiers. When it is really critical, 1440,000 is also possible.

"Well, do what you say!"

"Thank you for your kindness!"

"Wait, I'm not done yet. However, the three of you will solve the Fenwen Division, and the pastures and people of the Fenwen Department will belong to you, but we will have half of the cattle, sheep and horses. ”

"This ......" The princes of the three clans hesitated and went to war? It's not a good thing to do.

"If you can't do it, then I will personally lead the army north out of Shunzhou Mansion. The Eight Banners of Liaozhou Mansion are idle, and it is okay to wander around the territory of the Dao Khitan tribes. ”

"Zuo Household Chief, if I hire you to fight, are you willing to go to the Khitan to fight? We divide the spoils of war equally, and we provide the armor that is missing, how? Zhao Xun said with a smile to the head of the left household of the Su Mo Yan Division.

The head of the left household of the Su Mo Yan Department knew that this was just Zhao Xun coercing the three Khitan tribes, and they would not go on an expedition across regions, but Zhao Xun couldn't help but give face. said with a smile: "I'm happy to serve, if you can get benefits, my Su Mo Yan Yan Department will naturally not refuse." ”

Although the sons of the three patriarchs of the Khitan tribe also knew that it was unlikely that the Su Mo Jin tribe would send troops, Zhao Xun's words also expressed the intention that other tribes could be hired to act. You must know that the Su Mo Yan tribe and the Khitan tribe are far apart, but the Beihai tribes are indeed closely connected, and the Murwei tribe in the northeast is also eyeing them, who dares to guarantee that the Xiaoguo army will not attack with other tribes?

"Governor, we ...... We agreed, and we asked for the resumption of trade. After discussing it secretly, the three princes smiled bitterly.

"Yes, the compensation must be sent to the Shunzhou Mansion within a month, and the action against the Fenwen Department must also be launched within a month, otherwise, I am afraid that the Xiaoguo Army will personally borrow the road to the north!" Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

The three princes naturally hurriedly agreed, and they were all like this, what else could they say.

"By the way, prepare nine of the best horses for me, whether they are yours or you bought, I will exchange them with salt cloth, and at the end of the year the governor of Pontus will enter the court to meet the emperor, how can there be no gifts." Finally, Zhao Xun said suddenly.

"Hajj?" Zhang Qian and Zhang Yu exclaimed at the same time.

"What? Shouldn't it? After recovering the three eastern provinces and pacifying the north, if nothing else, the war will be resolved in the short term! It's time for me to go to the court to see His Majesty the Emperor. Zhao Xun said with a smile.

Zhang Qian and Zhang Yu kept rolling their eyes, and they didn't know what they were thinking. Obviously, Zhao Xun wanted to enter the pilgrimage to see the emperor, which was completely unexpected by the two.
