Chapter 0084 - Peace
Dongfang Haotian, who was far away in the depths of the jungle in the Southern Wilderness, also received a flying pigeon from Tianluo.
The big stone in my heart has also fallen.
This crisis has finally been resolved.
Just when he was about to withdraw his troops and return to Shaoyang City.
The Great Elder of Blackwater actually came to the door.
After some inquiry, I learned that the Great Elder of Blackwater had come to invite Dongfang Haotian to the Blackwater Tribe to prepare for peace with Shaoyang City.
This is a bit interesting, and generally the peace is between countries or large tribes.
The Blackwater Tribe should negotiate peace with the royal court, or at least with the lord of Qingyang Mansion.
However, the Blackwater Tribe directly approached Dongfang Haotian, the small city lord of Shaoyang City, to negotiate peace.
Obviously, they still didn't take the Central Plains people into account.
The only people in the Central Plains they feared were Shaoyang City, headed by Dongfang Haotian.
Barbarians are ferocious, but they worship power.
As long as your strength is recognized by them, they will respect you and fear you.
It's very similar to an island nation in a previous life.
You are not its opponent when he invades you madly.
You defeat it, and not only does he not know shame and does not hate you, but pleases you and learns from you like a licking dog.
For peace, Dongfang Haotian is naturally very happy.
Being able to avoid confrontation with the barbarians, stabilize his rear, and then go north to the Central Plains is the core strategy of his camp.
......
Dongfang Haotian took Huo Quai, Xie Yanke, and Feng Qingyang when the three of them came to the Heishui Tribe.
The Black Water Patriarch had already greeted him outside the tribe's gate.
It shows respect for Dongfang Haotian and others.
All living beings are like this in society, as long as you have enough strength, you will be respected and valued there.
Huo Quzhi's strength was able to force back the temple wizards, and this strength obviously won the awe of the Blackwater tribe.
Greeted by the Black Water Patriarch, everyone came to the council hall.
At this time, the council hall was full of the elders of the Blackwater Tribe.
Dongfang Haotian and the others had just entered the meeting hall, and the eyes of the elders of the Heishui tribe were all focused on Huo Quai's body.
They all looked awe-struck, surprised, and stunned.
This young boy was shocked to be able to confront the temple wizard who was like a god in their hearts.
Most of the awe and attention to Shaoyang City comes from Huo Quai.
The Blackwater Tribe owed a debt and said with a smile: "Eastern City Lord, please take a seat." ”
"The patriarch is polite. ”
The four of them found their seats and sat down.
After sitting down, at this time, the Black Water Patriarch's face was straight, and he went straight to the topic: "I don't know if the Eastern City Lord, do you have any opinions on the matter of peace between the two sides?"
Compared with Shaoyang City, the Blackwater tribe at this time was still on the dominant side, and they were able to take the initiative to negotiate peace.
First, I was shocked by the strength of Dongfang Haotian and others.
For fear that they will do another decapitation operation.
Second, the war between the front temple and the Nine Fierce Empires was at a fever pitch, and their Blackwater tribe was also forced to send troops to support.
Therefore, they don't want to get entangled with Shaoyang City and waste their energy.
"Negotiating peace, which can make both sides withdraw troops and reduce the deaths of both sides, is naturally very happy. I have the conditions, though. Dongfang Haotian said.
"Oh?" the Black Water Patriarch said in a condensed voice, "I don't know what the conditions of the Eastern City Lord are, you might as well talk about it first." ”
Dongfang Haotian said with a smile: "First, the two sides must not invade each other's territory.
Second, the territory of the Iron Salt Tribe was under the management of Shaoyang City. I'll set up a trading point there where we can both trade.
We, Shaoyang City, exchanged clothes, salt, grain, ironware, tea and other materials for your collection of heavenly and earthly treasures, exotic beast meat, etc.
Third, your barbarian army has invaded Shaoyang City for many years, and even many ancestors of my Dongfang family have died in your hands, and you need to compensate my Shaoyang City.
The amount of compensation is 30 million taels of silver!"
After listening to the three conditions put forward by Dongfang Haotian, the elders of the entire hall of the Black Water Tribe had their noses crooked.
Their black tribe did not lose the battle, and even let them cede the land and pay compensation.
A white-haired elder couldn't help it, his face turned red with anger, he slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily: "Although we take the initiative to negotiate peace, we can't bully my Blackwater tribe like this!"
"Do you really think that our Blackwater tribe is afraid of you Central Plains people?"
The Black Water Patriarch and the Great Elder also had gloomy faces, obviously very dissatisfied with the three conditions proposed by Dongfang Haotian.
The first condition, apparently, is fine.
However, the second condition is equivalent to land cession.
Although it is not the territory of their tribe, it is also the territory of their entire Nanban clan.
The third condition is even more bullying.
Thirty million taels of silver is almost the limit that the entire Blackwater Tribe can take out cash.
This is the accumulation of hundreds of years of their tribe!
Seeing this, Dongfang Haotian smiled indifferently, "If you don't accept my three conditions, then the matter of peace negotiation will be stopped, and we will see you on the battlefield." ”
"My army in Shaoyang City will definitely go into the Southern Wilderness Jungle to invade the major tribes and turn the world upside down. ”
The other party can take the initiative to negotiate peace, obviously does not want to entangle with itself, and is already at a disadvantage in negotiations.
If he doesn't get some benefits for himself, he's a fool.
The importance of iron ore in the territory of the Iron Salt Tribe is needless to say, Dongfang Haotian is bound to win.
The barbarians' supplies were not as abundant as those in the Central Plains, and silver was difficult for them to use.
Therefore, Dongfang Hao Tiancai planned to knock them out.
"Okay, well, we'll see you on the battlefield!" Some of the patriarchs were already angry.
They barbarians, there in front of the Central Plains. I have suffered such a big loss.
I think that when they were young, they led troops into the Central Plains and treated the Central Plains people like pigs and sheep.
The Black Water Patriarch was hesitant and frowned.
He heard that the other party had sent troops to wipe out the five barbarian tribes, so he immediately used all his forces to attack Shaoyang City.
It's all about eliminating this potential threat as soon as possible.
Seeing the strength of Dongfang Haotian and others, it is obvious that Shaoyang City cannot be solved in a short time.
However, the war in the south is very tight, and troops must be sent to support it as soon as possible.
However, Dongfang Haotian's conditions, he was unwilling to accept them no matter what.
This, for their tribe, is a great shame.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, suddenly a barbarian warrior stumbled in with a panicked look.
"Patriarch, it's not good, that hateful demon dragon is attacking our tribe again!"
"What? The dragon is attacking again?"
"Wasn't it injured by the Melting Wizard?"
The Black Water Patriarch was visibly taken aback.
The barbarian warrior panicked, "Not only is the demon dragon completely healed, it seems to have become more powerful. ”
"Now the Wizard of the Red Fusion is fighting against it. ”
"Let's go, let's take a look. The Black Water Patriarch said immediately.
"Demon Dragon, could it be that there really is a dragon in this other world?" Dongfang Haotian was a little curious in his heart.
So, with three of his men, he also followed.
