Chen Mu sat in his tent and waited for him, closed his eyes and recuperated, and did not take the initiative to speak.

The leader of the barbarians looked a little at a loss when he came in, and was stunned for a moment before saluting him.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Great Xia."

The attitude is very humble, and it is even the salute that the people of the barbarian tribe do to the chief.

Chen Mu was silent for a long time, and only spoke leisurely after the leader was uneasy for a long time.

"I heard that you sent troops to disturb my border this time because my sister ate an eagle falcon?" Chen Mu said slowly, without looking at the other party from beginning to end, "You also threatened to set foot in the capital and destroy my royal family?" ”

The leader was stunned, and the sweat was about to come down.

"I ...... That's because we are ignorant and disturb the peace of Shangbang, which is really rude, rude! ”

"I can't help myself!" Chen Mu snorted coldly.

However, to his surprise, when the barbarian leader heard this, he actually knelt down for him directly.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please raise your noble hand! The small country is really red-eyed, and the land is rich and rich, so it has moved its mind! The leader of the barbarians even squeezed out a few tears as he spoke, his eyes were extremely sincere, "But Shangbang's divine weapons are really not something that my sect can compete with, but ask Shangbang to raise his noble hand, I swear that from now on I will never get close to the border of Shangbang for half a step!" ”

"This time it's really a small country that is ignorant, and it offended Shangbang, please calm your anger."

Seeing such a strong man of more than 1.9 meters kneeling in front of him and crying with a handful of snot and tears, Chen Mu only felt speechless for a while.

He originally wanted to scare the barbarian leader a few more words, but now it seems completely unnecessary.

In the past few days, the cavalry of the Xia army has frightened these barbarians.

"It's not hard for me to raise my noble hand." Chen Mu picked up a stack of bamboo pieces on the table and motioned for the soldiers around him to bring it to the barbarian leader, "Look at this." ”

That's right, this is the real purpose of Chen Mu's "peace".

What was written on the paper was nominally a peace clause, but in fact it was a unilateral overlord clause for him Chen Mu.

First of all, the barbarians and the Xia Dynasty were required to open the border trade, but the barbarians were forbidden to collect taxes from the Xia merchants, and they were also required to provide food and lodging for the Xia Dynasty's merchants.

Secondly, the barbarians were required to pay tribute to the Xia Dynasty every year at least 2,000 high-quality cattle and sheep and 1,000 high-quality war horses, and the barbarians were also required to give the Xia Dynasty a certain amount of money every year, and it was completely free of charge.

In the end, Chen Mu demanded that the barbarians garrison troops on the border, and that the barbarians' troops should be at least five hundred miles away from the border.

He even demanded that the barbarians pay a tribute of 100 men to the Xia Dynasty every year for frontier labor, and that they could only return after serving at least one year of labor on the frontier.

Of course, there are many other rude requests, and Chen Mu has listed a lot.

On the other hand, most of the obligations that the Xia Dynasty needed to undertake were just gimmicks, except for one that did not take the initiative to attack the barbarians within ten years, the others were just a big pie drawn by Chen Mu for the barbarians.

As for the other benefits that the barbarians might get, probably only the merchants of the Central Plains could bring them something they had never seen, but at an extremely high price.

Didn't Chen Xingtian say that the treasury was empty? Didn't you say that too much money was spent on this war? Easy to do!

He Chen Mu has a few bamboo chips, and he can get all this money back, and this profit can last for decades.

However, Chen Mu did not intend to let the barbarian leader agree to all of them at this moment.

He had also studied history in his previous life, and he knew how rude the overlord clause in this agreement was.

Except for the most fundamental ones, the others are not negotiable.

But as the so-called sky-high asking price is repaid on the spot, he can only get more benefits if he raises the initial price high enough.

But what he never expected was that after reading the agreement, the barbarian leader actually agreed without hesitation.

"As long as Shangbang is willing to withdraw from the army, we can agree to anything." The leader of the barbarians didn't seem to think about the big impact on his country after this agreement was agreed, and he only wanted Chen Mu to retreat quickly.

In order not to be a slave to the country, this barbarian leader is also hard enough.

How could Chen Mu let go of such a good opportunity?

"Since the chief has no objection, let's sign it." Chen Mu stopped talking nonsense and asked the little soldier to hand the pen to the barbarian leader.

"As soon as you sign this word, I will withdraw from the army immediately, and from now on, you and I will act according to the agreement."

Watching the leader of the barbarians struggling to write on the bamboo chips, Chen Mu suddenly missed the feeling of writing on white paper with a gel pen.

When I go back, I have to get the paper out quickly, otherwise life will be too inconvenient.

After the agreement was signed, Chen Mu kept one for himself and let the barbarian leader keep one.

"Alright, get up, don't kneel." Chen Mu looked at the leader of the barbarians who was still kneeling on the ground and said.

"I have a word in advance, if the leader breaks the covenant in the future...... Then I wouldn't have retreated so easily as I do now! ”

The leader of the barbarians saluted again and hurriedly agreed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I still have something to ask for."

"Say it."

"A few days ago, I fought against the Shangbang cavalry, and I found two very strange things on the horses of the Shangbang cavalry, I wonder if you can tell me what they are?"

Chen Mu didn't think much about it and nodded.

He knew that the barbarian leader was talking about saddle stirrups.

The barbarian is a nomadic people, dealing with horses all day long, even if he does not have Chen Mu, in a few years will invent things like saddle stirrups, it is better to let him be a favor.

It can be regarded as thanking the barbarian for his hard work for the Xia Dynasty in the next few decades.

"The name of this thing is saddle and stirrups." Chen Mu explained simply, "The saddle is placed on the horse's back, and the stirrups are hung on both sides of the horse's body, which is convenient for the rider to get on and off the horse, and can also allow the rider to exert more force. ”

The leader of the barbarians nodded his head in shock as if he had heard some fantasy, and he did not seem to feel that he had suffered a great loss.

In this battle, Chen Mu can be said to have made a lot of money.

When he returned to the capital with that agreement, Chen Xingtian was completely given to Manager Zhen by his son.

What the hell is going on?

Why does his son seem to be a different person since he fell?

First, he invented the saddle stirrup and the repeater crossbow to help the Xia army win a great victory, and now he has come up with such a set of such a detailed method to contain the barbarians.

Among the surrounding small tribal forces, the strength of the barbarians is considered strong.

Now, this powerful force has been defeated by the Xia army, and the leader of the barbarians is like a vassal.

Who else dares to act rashly?
