Chapter 152 Compensation
Zhong Li Mo had been paying attention to the Yan army and his gang from beginning to end, and when he found that they wanted to escape, he led his team to intercept their way. In order to rescue the Yan army, Yan Rong had to gather the remnants of his troops and confront Zhong Li Mo and Li Ze.
The return of the Tiezhu brothers completely cut off the hope of Yan Rong, Yan Jun, and Han Zhang to break through, and seeing this situation, Yan Rong's face was very ugly.
On the one hand, the reckless actions of his younger brother had deepened Qin Tian's hostility towards them a lot, and on the other hand, Qin Tian's strength and versatility in the battle had greatly exceeded his expectations, which was no longer the strength that a group of newly formed troops should have. Judging from the information collected now, the overall strength of Qin Tian's group is extremely strong, and they already have the prototype of a large force, and with time, I am afraid that they will grow into a very formidable competitor.
"Qin Tian, are you sure you want to do something to us?" Yan Rong asked as he stared at Qin Tian who slowly walked out of the door of the fortress.
As soon as Qin Tian, Ram Shen, and the fat man Yan Qiu came out of the doorway, they heard Yan Rong's question, and he walked over to Yan Rong with a serious face and said, "It depends on what Yan Da Boss does?"
"What do you mean by that?" Yan Rong's heart moved, it seemed that things were still going to turn around, so he asked quietly and rhetorically.
"Yan Da is in charge, so we don't have to beat around the bush. I'll just ask you a question, are your Shanzhai Alliance and my Cold Spring Mining Area enemies or friends?" Qin Tian asked him bluntly.
"What about enemies, what about friends?"
Yan Rong frowned, this Qin Tian is really direct, does he want an immediate showdown?
"It's very simple, if the two of us are enemies, then for the sake of the safety of my Cold Spring Mining Area, I will ask Master Yan and these brothers of yours to go on the road! I, Qin Tian, will find you a better cemetery after you leave, and I will not let your brothers expose their corpses to the wilderness." Qin Tian's eyes flashed fiercely, and there was a great way to draw a knife against each other without saying a word.
Yan Rong's face suddenly turned blue after hearing this, it seems that it is still unknown whether they can get out of danger safely this time. After his face changed several times, he stared at the corners of Qin Tian's mouth and asked lightly, "Then what if it's a friend?"
"If it's a friend, then the head of Yanda has to show some sincerity on behalf of the copycat alliance. Qin Tian deliberately accentuated the word sincerity so that Yan Rong could understand what he meant.
"What sincerity?" Yan Rong also knew that it would be impossible to escape without some blood this time.
"First of all, even if we are friends, then the Shanzhai Alliance must not have any hostile behavior against our Cold Spring Mining Area from now on, otherwise once discovered, then we can be regarded as the Shanzhai Alliance's declaration of war against our Cold Spring Army. β
Yan Rong glanced at Yan Jun, Han Zhang and the others, Yan Jun and Han Zhang both nodded, so Yan Rong nodded and responded: "We can accept this!"
Seeing Yan Rong nodding in acceptance, Qin Tian continued: "Secondly, since the two of us are friends and have the Cai family, a common enemy, then we might as well declare that we have formed a mutual aid alliance to the outside world, so as to form a certain deterrent to the Cai family." β
"Alliance?So who will sit in the position of the leader of this alliance?How should the army be managed?" Yan Rong was shocked when he heard about the alliance, could it be that Qin Tian wanted the lion to open his mouth and swallow their forces in one go, right? If Qin Tian really felt that with his current strength, he could swallow the copycat alliance, it would be too naΓ―ve!
"The head of Yan Da misunderstood, we are only an alliance in name, in fact, our respective armies are still under our own jurisdiction, and our own territory naturally has to be guarded by ourselves. It's just that in the face of the great enemy of the Cai family, we can't cooperate with each other, what do you think?"
Qin Tian saw Yan Rong's thoughts, and he didn't think about swallowing the behemoth of the Shanzhai Alliance, after all, the Shanzhai Alliance was far larger than himself in terms of the number of troops and the scope of influence. He just wanted not to be stabbed in the back by the copycat alliance when dealing with the Cai family, so that he would fall into a situation where he was attacked by the enemy.
"Oh, if it's just a nominal alliance, then I can promise you now!"
After listening to Qin Tian's explanation, Yan Rong readily agreed. After this heavy blow, it was difficult for him to organize a new round of offensive in a short period of time, and the alliance with Qin Tian could also share some of the pressure given by the Cai clan on the other hand, which was also quite beneficial to him.
"Last ,......"
Qin Tian was about to continue, but the fat man Yan Qiu ran out and said, "I'll tell you the last point, right?"
The fat man Yan Qiu raised his eyebrows at Qin Tian, and Qin Tian smiled knowingly: "This last point, let my brother Yan Qiu say it!"
The fat man smiled proudly: "This last one is very simple, and the master of Yan also knows that the loss of my Hanquan mining area in this battle is not small, and the cause of all this is closely related to the attack of the Shanzhai Alliance." Now that the war is over, since the Yan Da Boss is the leader of the Shanzhai Alliance, he should naturally give us a little compensation?"
"Compensation, I don't know what compensation this Yanqiu brother wants?" Yan Rong knew that the meat drama was coming, and it seemed that it would not work without some blood.
"Hehe, it's nothing, we saw in the city that the iron cavalry of the Han lord is very powerful, so we also want to form a cavalry to play. As long as the Copycat Alliance can provide us with five hundred mounts, how about the account between us will be eliminated?" Yan Qiu's weasel tail was finally revealed, and he said to Yan Rong with a cheap smile.
"What? Five hundred mounts, why don't you just grab them?"
After hearing the fat man's request, Yan Jun on the side immediately changed his face, mounts have always been a strategic material, even a lord like the Cai clan may not be able to raise five hundred cavalry mounts at once, it is almost impossible for them to come up with so many mounts in the copycat alliance.
"Robbing, I, Yan Qiu, am a civilized person, how could I do this kind of banditry? Isn't this kind of thing the patent of your copycat alliance? We are friends, how can I rob your business?" the fat man Yan Qiu said to Yan Jun with a mocking face.
"Qin Tian, what is the concept of five hundred war horses, you should know clearly, is this really your original intention?" Yan Rong saw the fat man Yan Qiu's posture of a lion's big mouth, so he turned his head to Qin Tian and asked.
"Yan Qiu means what I mean, the number of five hundred war horses is a bit large, but I believe that the Shanzhai Alliance can still get it. Isn't it, Yan Da Master?" Qin Tian nodded and said to Yan Rong without backing down.
Yan Rong's face turned blue again, there are indeed places in the Xizhou Continent that are rich in war horses, but because war horses are strategic materials, the control of pastures in various places is very strict, which has caused a shortage of war horses. If you really want to come up with five hundred battle horses, then only Han Zhang's hussar village has some ways.
Yan Rong couldn't help but look at Han Zhang with a heavy face, and the latter's face also became extremely bad at this time: "Brother Han, if I, Heishi Village, am willing to take out a large number of supplies, can you exchange them for enough war horses?"
"Big brother, I can't promise them! They suffered a loss of fart, from the beginning of the war to the present, they have been watching the drama in the city, and finally came out to pick up the bargain, and now they still have the face to talk to us about losses. Yan Jun said to Yan Rong with an angry face.
"Ma Jun, uh! should be called Yan Jun. You can't say that, you say that we have no losses, you have to ask Zhong Li Mo and Ram Shen to say this again, their troops were disabled by your own hands, and we haven't settled this account with you yet! You still dare to talk to us about no losses, it seems that we have to settle the account first. The fat man Yan Qiu was not a good talker, so he immediately scolded Yan Jun.
"Okay brother, I'll call the shots on this matter. Yan Rong grabbed Yan Jun, then turned to Yan Qiu and said, "I can agree to your request, but I really don't have so many soldiers in Heishi Village, and this matter still depends on Han Da's master." β
"Oh, then I don't know what Han Da wants?" Yan Qiu asked with a little surprise as he looked at Han Zhang, who was silently on the side.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for his reply, Han Zhang's brows couldn't help frowning deeply, he raised his head and said to Yan Rong: "The alliance leader is willing to bear the majority of the compensation, and it stands to reason that Han should not refuse." But Han also has a problem, if he must change to five hundred war horses, then he must ask the person in charge of this place to promise Han something. β
"Oh, what's the matter?" Qin Tian was also interested at this time, and he didn't know what kind of request this Han Zhang would make.
Han Zhang looked at Qin Tian's eyes and said, "If the Great Master of Qin wants to ride a war, then he has to exchange it for Xuantie." β
"What, Xuantie?" the fat man Yan Qiu glanced at Qin Tian, he didn't expect Han Zhang to make such a request. However, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that the Shanzhai Alliance has gone to great lengths to conquer this Cold Spring Mining Area, and it was originally for the Xuaniron vein, and now it is reasonable to propose to exchange Xuantie for war horses.
However, the fat man is not a person who likes to suffer, he said with a look of teasing me: "These five hundred war horses are obviously what you want to compensate us, and now you want to exchange them for Xuantie, so what should you say about this compensation?"
Yan Rong saw that things had taken a turn for the better, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Since the war horse is exchanged for dark iron, can the compensation be converted into other materials?"
Qin Tian and Yan Qiu glanced at each other, then nodded and said, "We can accept the exchange of the war cavalry for Xuan Tie, as for the compensation, we need a lot of food, if you have food equivalent to five hundred war horses, we can also accept it." β
"Food? This is no problem! We may not have much other things, but we have a large amount of grain in each cottage. β
When Yan Rong heard that Qin Tian and they wanted food, his heart was immediately happy, food was not a problem at all, so he readily agreed.
"Then it's decided!" Qin Tian nodded and said to Yan Rong.
"Then it's a deal!" Yan Rong also agreed very happily.
