Chapter 220: Signing the Covenant
He paused, and looked at the prince who said solemnly,
"Okay, the crown prince of the Central Plains is really happy, then the cooperation alliance between our two armies will be reached, but it's ......",
Pan Wu paused at this point, and continued randomly,
"I have one last additional condition, as long as this condition is passed, I can assure you that the Xirong Iron Cavalry will come to the border after the 5th, and General Ben will personally lead the troops to attack the western heights."
"The gold, silver, treasure, and compensation have all been promised to you, how can you still have conditions",
Luo Yu rebuked sharply, the insatiable foreign barbarian in front of him almost made him lose his mind, if it weren't for the overall situation of attacking the Tiger Prison Pass, he really wanted this beast to not be able to get out of the camp of the Eastern Capital,
The prince's face was also difficult to see, and a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes, in order to reach cooperation with the Xirong army, he made so many humiliating concessions,
But he still couldn't satisfy the appetite of this Xirong barbarian, he suppressed his anger, sighed and looked at Panwu and asked coldly,
"What else do you have",
Panwu also realized that his layers of additions had made the prince and the generals of Southern Xinjiang lose patience, and he also lost a smile at the moment, looking at everyone and explaining,
"The last condition I put forward is not to ask for compensation from your Central Plains Dynasty, but ......",
When Pan Wu said this, his tone became serious,
"In order to ensure the vested interests of the Xirong army in this war, after the defeat of the winner's army, you need to agree that the Xijon army will be stationed in Tiger Prison City, and from the moment the winner's army is destroyed, this important town in the west will be jointly controlled by our two armies."
…………
"What, hold the tiger prison, I am facing the border fortress, how can I deliver it to the alien race",
The prince rebuked sharply, and at this moment he lost the friendliness and smile at the beginning, Pan Wu could obviously feel the anger in his heart at the moment, after all, there was such a thing as letting foreign troops garrison border towns,
It is something that no country can bear, let alone the Ziwei Dynasty that is standing at the top, this kind of rude request is a naked provocation,
Once this request is agreed, it means that the mountains and rivers of the dynasty are broken and the sovereignty is lost, as the crown prince of the Central Plains, how can the future emperor of the Ziwei Dynasty agree to this kind of request,
This is not just a loss of face, this kind of weak compromise will even make the court lose the hearts of the people.
Pan Wu still licked a smile, looked at the angry prince and explained a little stiffly,
"Your Highness is angry, this request I made is not to fight for the border gates of your state, but to ensure the self-interest of the Xirong army, and to exterminate the winner army when the time comes."
"If you suddenly repent, and refuse to compensate, won't we work in vain, and at that time, we will lose our troops and lose our generals, but we will not get any benefits, and I will not be able to explain to Prince Yuli and the clan leaders when I go back, right?"
Pan Wu frowned, deliberately making a very embarrassed expression,
The prince's tone was not good, and he looked at the latter and subconsciously retorted,
"I am a dignified dynasty in the Central Plains, how can I do anything against my word, Panwu, we have a covenant in hand, and everyone in the world is watching, what do you have to worry about?"
The prince retorted righteously, but he didn't know that his remarks in a hurry just gave the latter a handle, and a sinister smile leaked from the corner of Pan Wu's mouth, and he looked at the latter and defended at the moment,
"Yes, the Central Plains Dynasty has been the largest state in China in all dynasties, you respect the way of propriety and faith, and I naturally don't believe that your state will go back on its word and do things that violate morality."
"Prince, didn't you say it yourself, everyone in the world is watching, as long as the war compensation you promised will not break your promise, how can we have the reason to occupy the magpie's nest, as long as the compensation you promised to us is all in hand,
"We will withdraw our troops from Tiger Prison City immediately, and we can write these into the treaty, you see how this is",
Pan Wu looked at the prince with a sinister smile on his face, and his eyes showed the joy of the successful trick, but the prince was frowning at the moment, and his face was also difficult to see.
His own rebuttal was originally to protect the interests of the Ziwei Dynasty and refuse Xirong's garrison in the Tiger Prison Pass, but he didn't want his own set of rhetoric to become a boost for Panwu to occupy the city.
The latter argued with the terms of the post-war garrison Tiger Prison City, but he couldn't refute it, because what the latter said was reasonable, and he used the logic in the prince's mouth.
This made him unable to refute at all, the prince's face was ugly, and the three commanders also fell into silence, having nothing to say, what else could they say,
In a sense, any justification on their side at this moment is against the prince's own will, and no matter what they say, they are slapping the prince in the face.
Everyone was embarrassed, at this time when it was difficult for the prince to ride a tiger, it was Panwu, a foreign envoy who had been on the opposite side of the negotiation, who stood up to relieve the siege.
He looked at the ugly prince and said with a fake smile,
"Your Highness, you see if you agree with the additional conditions I just proposed, and if you are not satisfied, we can continue to discuss."
Pan Wu's words are not only to give the prince a step down, but also to roast the prince in the fire, he doesn't want to agree, but what can he do, if he continues to discuss with Pan Wu,
It was not only the latter's conditions that did not agree, but also the words that he said himself, the latter was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, looking at the latter very helplessly,
"Okay, Prince Ben promised that after the extermination of the winner's army, before the compensation of the imperial court was allocated, Xirong could garrison the army at Hugao Pass",
However, as soon as the prince's words changed, his expression became serious,
"After the compensation promised to you by the imperial court is fulfilled, Xijon must immediately withdraw its troops from the Tiger Pass, and also, after the war with the victor army has begun, the Xijon army must be engaged in an attack on the Great Wall to the west within two days."
The prince said in a resolute tone, since the conditions of the other party's garrison are inevitable, then increase the constraints on the Xirong army and urge them to enter the battle as soon as possible.
Pan Wu laughed wildly in his heart at the moment, but he put on a very embarrassed expression on his face,
"Your Highness, our vanguard army is stationed in the pasture closest to the border at the moment, even if we send troops now, it will take three days to arrive at the earliest."
"Then three days, after three days, the Xirong army must enter the war, otherwise even if you break the covenant, the imperial court will refuse all compensation to the Xirong army after the end of the war",
The prince said categorically, and his tone could not be questioned in the slightest,
Panwu hesitated for a moment, then looked at the prince and said with a little dissatisfaction,
"Alright then, let's revise the covenant now, and after the covenant is signed, I will immediately send an order to the troops stationed in the Westside Ranch, so that they can reach the Great Wall in the west as quickly as possible."
