Chapter 535: The Snowy Envoy (2)
Yang Xiong smiled, he could see that the envoy of the Snowy People came here, in fact, he wanted to get the food back, it seemed that the Snowy People were really in trouble. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For this matter, he is also hesitating, it stands to reason that with his character, he will not agree, this is undoubtedly a strong snow people, and when the snow people slow down in the future, they will definitely make a comeback.
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it seemed that the people of the Snow Domain could take advantage of it, if the people of the Snow Land could really keep their promises, as Ren Yang said, they could get their help, then they would be even more sure of fighting against Ling Feng in the future.
As Ling Feng grew stronger, he had to consider...
Take 10,000 steps back and say, if you don't help the people of the Snow Domain at this moment, then the people of the Snow Region have nothing to eat, and they will come to the Western Frontier to make trouble in the future, and without the help of the Snow Region, they are not sure at all about fighting with Ling Feng.
Thinking like this, Yang Xiong hesitated, although it was a big gamble, but it was not without the slightest possibility, maybe the people of the Snow Region were not the kind of people who would take revenge?
Thinking of this, Yang Xiong asked, "How much food do you need?" ”
Abatou was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Lord, 500,000 quintals are enough." ”
"What? 500,000 quintals? ”
Yang Xiong suddenly got up and said in surprise: "What are you kidding?" Are you here to exchange food, or are you here to grab food? You're trying to raid my house, aren't you? ”
"The Lord is serious, serious."
Abatou said: "This is indeed my Batu's original words, Batu is willing to exchange 50,000 snowy war horses, plus 50,000 cattle and sheep." This is already the highest price, and it will definitely not be lost to the Lord. ”
In fact, the price that Abatoto said is indeed the price of conscience, and there is absolutely no loss to Yang Xiong, and even, the value of 100,000 head of livestock is definitely more than 500,000 quintals of grain.
Just think about it, so many cattle and sheep, even if they are all killed and made into meat, it will be more than 500,000 loads of grain.
But there is one point, people in the snowy region eat meat every day, and they are also tired of eating, this thing is okay to eat every few days, if you eat it every day, then no one can stand it.
Therefore, you have to eat, and you have to mix wild vegetables and so on to live.
Hearing this price, Yang Xiong sat down slowly and said, "Your price... It's okay, but 500,000 quintals is too much, where can I raise this number at a time? Forget it, I can't accept it. ”
Ren Yang was originally happy, if there were 50,000 snowy horses, then the Western Xinjiang would be able to develop, and there would be another strength, and if he fought again in the future, his combat effectiveness would be immeasurable.
Moreover, he was still thinking in his heart that if 50,000 snowy horses could be handed over to him, it would be even cooler, and it would be much more powerful than the 80,000 soldiers in his hands now.
However, Yang Xiong's attitude made him speechless, although 500,000 quintals is a lot, you can bargain, and you don't have to refuse directly.
Just as Yang Xiong's words fell, Ren Yang stepped forward, approached Yang Xiong's ear, and said a few words softly, as if he was offering advice.
After listening, Yang Xiong looked at Abatou and said: "Messenger, do you think this will work, I will raise 100,000 military rations for you in the snowy region, and you must give me 50,000 snowy horses, as for those cattle and sheep, I don't want it, you can consider it." ”
This is also a way to settle for the next best thing.
Originally, I thought that Abato's might not agree, but who knows, Abato's got up and waved again and again, and thanked him for his kindness: "Thank you, Lord, I am a snowy tribe, and I will always feel the great grace of the Lord." ”
100,000 military rations, this is exactly the number that Batu gave him, Abato's just raised it a little so that Yang Xiong could bargain, and now, just right, it just met Batu's requirements.
As for the 50,000 snowy horses, it is true that some lions have opened their mouths, but for the snowy region, what are the snowy horses, they are everywhere, and the 50,000 horses are given.
Yang Xiong frowned and said, "You agreed?" ”
"Agreed, agreed, of course agreed."
Abato's laughter snapped out.
After Yang Xiong reacted, he also smiled, raised his hand and said, "Okay, then let's just say it, when you send 50,000 snowy horses, you can receive 100,000 loads of military rations." ”
"Messenger, I have ordered a banquet to be prepared, so let's take a seat."
"No, Lord, please wait, there is one more thing."
"Anything else? What's up? ”
Abato's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he said: "Don't hide it from the Lord, just a month ago, another Batu appeared on the edge of my snowy region, and that person gathered more than a dozen large tribes, totaling more than 200,000 people, and was coming to my lord Batu's territory, so... Batu asked me to come, in fact, I wanted to move the rescuers, if the Lord... ”
Hearing this, Yang Xiong understood everything, understood the true intention of the envoy, understood why the people in the snow region asked to surrender, and even more understood, why the people in the snow region would suddenly evacuate all the way if they fought well.
It turned out that the people of the Snowy Land had started a civil war, just like today's Central Plains, with continuous wars, separating and dominating, and there would never be peace.
If it was before January, after receiving such news, Yang Xiong might lead his troops to the west, and take this opportunity to pacify the snow region and incorporate the snow region into his territory.
After his careful eyes, the snowy horse is indeed better than the Western Frontier war horse, what is the good place? One is that it is very tall and fatter than ordinary war horses, and the other is that it is adaptable, and no matter how bad the environment is, it can survive.
Therefore, he is still very excited about the snowy region.
But for him now, the snowy land, he can only think about it, compared with the imperial capital, that place is obviously much worse, or the imperial capital is important, you can't call the army back from the imperial capital for the sake of the snowy region, it is estimated that the gains outweigh the losses.
After thinking clearly, Yang Xiong waved his hand and said: "I understand, I can send troops, send 100,000 troops to help the war, and help Batu pacify the snowy region, but I also have conditions, you are extremely compliant, agree; How is it? ”
"Speak up, Lord."
Yang Xiong said: "I want another 50,000 snowy horses as a reward, that is to say, and the previous 50,000 combined, a total of 100,000, and to sign a contract with my western frontier, never offend each other in the future, you snowy region, you must surrender to my western frontier, contribute war horses every year, of course, I will also give you food, what do you think?" ”
Abatou hurriedly replied: "Okay, well, we Batu said, as long as the Lord sends troops, if the Lord encounters difficulties in the future, I, Batu, will definitely pour the strength of the whole clan, even the power of the whole snowy region, to send troops to help, and never break my word!" ”
Yang Xiong said with a smile: "The envoy is really fast, okay, then let's decide, within half a month, I will raise 100,000 troops and go to the snow region, and I will definitely calm the snow region for you." ”
"Thank you, Lord." (To be continued.) )
