Chapter 1485: What's in the Bag
tent of these people, these military supervisors finally panicked completely. When they wanted to say something, Mo Yunjing wouldn't give them a chance.Only then did Mo Yunjing's seemingly calm eyes g...Yunliu was still thinking of saying a few more words to this person, but Mo Yunjing spoke up, "Descent edict, wealth."
"!""!
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone present was shocked beyond belief.
Does the Northern Frontier King really mean to prepare for a withdrawal of troops
Since things have already reached this point, why withdraw troops
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but doubt if they had heard wrong. Could it be that the King of Beijang hadn't said those words
And General Su on the city wall immediately excitedly agreed, “Yes, we’ll give them! Gold, silver, jewels, grain, livestock – anything you want, we’ll give it all!”
If today's loss is merely material things and it can protect this city, no matter how much gold, silver, jewels, cattle, livestock, or grain the Northern Border King demands, he would agree to it.
After he finished, his heart was still pounding. He couldn't believe that the King of Beijang had just spoken seriously.
But what the Northern Border King did next left everyone dumbfounded.
Then, King of Beijang nonchalantly took out a letter from his sleeve that had obviously been prepared beforehand. “Do as it says,” he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the letter out using his internal energy.
At the moment General Su received the letter, he was still dumbfounded. Such a high wall, and King Beijang could so easily send the letter into his hands.
It goes without saying that the Beijang King's inner strength is...extremely terrifying.
No wonder that in previous battles, the generals of their Red Nation always met their demise shortly after the horns sounded.
The Northern King's internal energy is so formidable, and he's also skilled with a bow. If he decides to make a move, which of the Red Country's generals would stand a chance of survival
Thinking about this, General Su suddenly thought of something, his whole body stiffened.
So the reason he's still alive today is entirely because the King of Beijiang wants him to live!
Although I don't know my prince's plans, since our prince has decided to withdraw his troops, it's best to do it sooner rather than later.
Thus, seeing that the people on the city wall were only staring at the letter in their hands without any intention of opening it, Yun Liu frowned and spoke coldly with extreme dissatisfaction:
"General Su, why have you been so slow to act Have you changed your mind and are starting to play games Or do you want our prince to continue waiting"
“No… no, I didn’t mean that. It’s just… just…”
Realizing he had once again survived the Northland King's grasp, General Su was overcome with excitement. He didn't dare dilly-dally any longer and after responding, hurriedly tore open the envelope and began to read.
While the letter mentioned various valuables, the King of Beijng didn't ask for any grain. Instead, he requested horses.
Three thousand warhorses...this was nearly the total number of horses in their city.
If all of it was given to the King of Beijiang, how could this city possibly remain peaceful
It is extremely difficult to train a warhorse, otherwise there would be thousands of them in No's massive army camp all year round.
Now that the King of Beijiang opened his mouth, he wanted to take almost all the warhorses in the city. But how could that be agreed upon
Martial artists all have excellent eyesight. Seeing General Su's embarrassed expression at this time, everyone immediately knew that he was unwilling to meet the conditions stated by King Beijang.
Although he didn't know what conditions their prince had written, Yun Liu glanced at General Su's expression and spoke in a gloomy voice, sounding extremely disdainful:
"Judging by General Su's expression, he doesn't seem too eager to agree. If that's the case, then let's continue. Don't waste everyone's time."
After that, he raised the flag of Tianba Kingdom, looking as if he was ready to continue fighting.
How could General Su possibly refuse If he refused, the Red Nation would surely lose a city today.
He could still tell which was more important: losing a city or losing three thousand horses.
Looking at the steadfast King of Beijiang, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind: "Fine, I agree to your terms."
"Having said that, he turned to the generals beside him, "Come, count the warhorses."
Only those around him responded with a chorus of "yes" before quickly going to count the warhorses.
Today, they see the situation clearly. If King Beijang continues to have those terrifying weapons deployed against them, this city will definitely not hold.
So now they must hurry to send this great Buddha away before the King of Bei Jiang regrets it.
They have been emboldened to act these days because after testing the waters, King of Beijiang has yet to use that devastating weapon. Therefore, they believe King of Beijiang no longer possesses that kind of destructive power.
Unforeseen, today the northern warlord Wang took action, nearly breaking through the city gates.
And these men have been on the walls since the beginning of this conflict, and those who were hiding among their ranks saw them strapped with such weapons when they deployed their terror weapons.
Although I don't know why they only launched once, if they fire another volley at their walls, those walls won't be standing after that.
So they have to be quick.
As for the conditions Mo Yun Jing proposed, they were able to count them easily. After about half an hour, they presented a letter of surrender and counted out the warhorses Mo Yun Jing had requested.
Yun Liu personally went to check the number of warhorses and inspected each one to make sure they were in good condition, so that they wouldn't try to use injured horses.
Perhaps they were truly afraid this time, for the horses they counted out didn't seem to be in much trouble.
Having obtained what they needed, Mo Yunjing ordered the troops to return to the city.
Their troops are now stationed almost entirely within the city they captured a few days ago, not far from here.
The soldiers received the order from the King of Beijng, and immediately beat the drums to withdraw and return to camp.
Enter at the sound of drums, retreat at the sound of gold.
When they came, they marched and beat drums.
In the past, when it was time to return, they would beat drums and disband the soldiers.
Whenever the sound of gongs was heard in the past, it mostly signaled that battles were going poorly, and often accompanied hasty retreats, much like fleeing refugees. Therefore, as soldiers, we generally didn't want to hear the sound of gongs very often.
But today they had a change of heart, listening to the constant “ding—ding—ding—”. The sound was so crisp, they inexplicably found it pleasing.
……
On the way back to town, Yunliu hesitated several times, wanting to speak but holding back. Mo Yunjing glanced at him leisurely, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Yunliu and the few generals beside him exchanged glances. Since it was their prince who had told them to do this, Yunliu fearlessly asked:
"Has the Prince been troubled by something lately If we stand firm today and refuse to withdraw our troops, not a single one of those people from the Red Nation will escape."
The city of Chi, essentially given to them on a silver platter, was inexplicably abandoned by them instead of being seized.
Although some benefits were gained, a city and three thousand war horses, whichever anyone chooses, would likely choose the city.
Besides, wouldn't the war horses in this city become theirs once we capture it today
Hearing Yunliu's words, Mo Yunjing's eyes were cold and he glanced at him indifferently, "Do you know how many troops they have left" in confusion, not quite understanding how the princess intended to intervene.Before they could figure out what was going on, An Xue Tang's gaze had shifted to Eleven. She spoke in a slow, measured t...
