The Newcomer Chapter XXVI Negotiations
Having had no patience, Dastam had already led his troops out of the city, and before that, he had distributed the last bit of food to relieve the horses' urgent needs.
The crowded castle was relieved at once, and the surviving people in the city were relieved, during the period when this large number of people were stationed, they did not dare to take a breath, for fear of being caught and tortured, this Dastam was ruthless, and once he arrived in this city, he built a large number of torture instruments, and even developed a lot of terrifying torture instruments himself, during this time, it can be said that the city was washed with blood.
When Dastam's army left the city, Saiga on the other side also received news and sent all the men and horses to retreat, so it was time to concentrate his forces.
To Sega's surprise, Akrol's family did not return as expected, and according to several lords who returned, they instead raised their banners and stood in Dasham's side. Surprised, Sega stabilized his emotions. He had long suspected these people, but he didn't expect them to be so arrogant and openly surrender to the enemy army, which had a huge impact on the reputation of the nobles, not only for him personally, but also for the family, including his own descendants, who would bear the infamy forever. Although this is not the first case of rebellion, there have been many excuses in the past, including the monarch's injustice to him and the fact that he did not grant fiefdoms. This is indeed the first case of such a no-excuse rebellion by the Agull family.
Not only that, but the next news made Saiga sweat.
According to the logistics forces, the banners of rebellion have been raised in Aychemor, Lana, Halma, Fort Ahuen, and several other hamlets, although the hamlets have been suppressed.
This made Saiga's face flush with anger, and he became more and more suspicious of whether he could win this battle, Aichemore and Fort Ahuen were the territories of the Aguer family's Nayan Tuoju and Nayan Umuda respectively, these two places were relatively close to them, and if they gathered the soldiers defending the city, then it would be a great fighting power. He was really in the mire this time.
Dastam's large army poured into the nest, and soon, in the distance, both armies could see a large group of small black shadows. They confronted each other for a while, but neither of them made a move, and Sega knew that he was waiting for the troops of Achmore and Fort Ahuen. Prior to this, Saiga had also relented and wrote to the city of Tulga asking for troops, but it was still questionable whether the heralds would be able to successfully arrive.
There are many reasons why countries generally do not mobilize city defense soldiers when attacking, the biggest reason is the fear of losing the city, you must know that for this kind of valuable news, everyone is willing to do a sum, sometimes even orders are issued to the city, the army has not yet been dispatched, the news has been spread to other countries, when the troops are dispatched, the large troops of other countries may have gathered.
Both armies were holding out, and although the Serbs were superior in numbers and quality, it was necessary to lose a few cities or spend a lot of dinar to sign a peace treaty if the battle was to be won at the cost of a large number of troops.
Inside the military tent, Boli was vehemently expressing his opinion.
Nayan Boli was the lord of the important town of Rana and had a high voice in the Kujit Khanate, and his caution was comparable to that of the Saiga Khan, but today he is unusual.
"Traitors, all traitors." Boli scolded.
He was even more excited than Saga Khan, because he was very close to the Agur family, and it was already a sure thing that his son Nayan Tansu should be engaged to Agul's daughter Tuan. can be stirred up like this, it must be no fun. He doesn't care if his son can find true love, he cares about his own face.
"Why don't we go and get their heads now." Boli green tendons are exposed, and his face is hideous.
Faced with this kind of scene, many people are still seeing it for the first time, and there is no room for speech at all.
"Enough, calm down, look at you, how aristocratic you are." Saiga walked into the tent with a calm face.
"But......" Bo Li's expression was extremely aggrieved.
"Don't you even listen to me?" Saiga retorted. Scared a few new nobles out of their minds.
"It's rude." Boli buried his head deeply.
"Heads up, Boli, pay attention to who you are."
"Yes, Khan, my subordinates know their mistakes." Boli returned to his former calm.
"You're my country's military advisor, and now I need you."
"Yes."
"What's your opinion on Dastam?"
"It should be taken down." Bo Li said categorically.
"Let's be realistic, you know, how many people it costs."
"There's an idea down there. This is the most appropriate solution at the moment, but it will damage your prestige. I don't know if to talk about it. ”
"Just say it."
"Make a pact of peace with him."
"Do you want me to acknowledge his kingship?" Saiga raised his voice.
"Yes, my lord, listen to me first."
"We can hand over the rebellious towns and recognize Dastam as a new kingdom. Fort Lundia, Echmoor, and Fort Ahuen were all strategically important, and in this way, we were able to defend the enemy army to the west. Moreover, these three positions are not superior, even if we recognize his royal power, other countries will not necessarily let him go, and when the time comes, we will lose some face, lose some dinars, and strangle their economic arteries with our neighbors, and we will be able to put down this rebellion without a single soldier. ”
"What is said is extreme, but the problem of face ......"
"What does this compare to your great cause?"
Sega pondered for a moment, unable to think of a better way.
"Okay, you go ahead and get started." Saiga waved his hand helplessly.
The next day, the military tent of Dastam.
Dustam read the truce in all seriousness. Without saying a word, he asked people to read it out loud.
After the reading, the congregation will begin to express their opinions.
"Lord Khan, I'm afraid this is a deception."
"Lord Khan, I can't ...... it"
"Lord Khan, have you forgotten the arrogant face of the Sega who took your throne?" Seeing that the Khan was still thinking about it, Agur asked.
Dustam has his own ideas, there is a shortage of food, and the war may not last for a few days before it will be defeated, and it is a little embarrassing to see the dozen or so flags held high by the other party, and then look at the few flags that are sparse with him. Dustam, who had been on the back for more than ten years, lost a small and half of his brutality, and realized many truths, as a monarch, he had long realized that only a militant country was incomplete and would not last long, and he was exactly like that, with only bloodthirsty lords and useless ringing horses.
He understood that it was unrealistic for these warlike lords to give up this opportunity in vain.
"I decided." Dustam said.
The generals looked at the Khan expectantly.
"Sign this peace pact."
For a while, the military tent was full of amazement, and everyone's eyes were bulging, and they didn't seem to believe that this was the truth.
"I know what you're thinking, and this is our chance, isn't it?"
"After the establishment of a new kingdom, I will compensate each of you with 30,000 dinars and divide the corresponding lands."
"This ......" calm returned to the tent, and no one spoke again.
"Not only that, but even during the peace pact, I will allow you to loot the village of Saiga, and these accounts will be counted on my head." Dastam was also out of the way.
"I'm afraid it's an insult to your reputation." A voice broke the silence.
"Just mind yourself, Akadan."
"Yes......"
"Does anyone else have an opinion?" Dustam asked.
"If no one answers, I'll take it as a default."
Dastam signed the deal with a snap. Immediately withdrew.
"Saigadu put down his face and sued me for peace, what face do I want?" Dustam couldn't help but laugh a little as he thought back to the question.
Taking a step back, this war did not start and was temporarily resolved.
