Pei Lun finished speaking, and his staff laughed:
"Sir, if you were to promote him to be the commander of Shuozhou, I'm afraid many people would be dissatisfied."
"Who dares to disobey my orders?" Pei Lun frowned.
"Sir, don't forget Lord Sun Jizong who is still in Wu Zhou City!" the staff reminded.
"I understand!"
Pei Lun nodded. "We'll discuss which prefecture he'll be assigned to later! Anyway, we need to immediately have him hand over King Zhelan's family. We need to quickly reach a withdrawal agreement with the Tartars to avoid further complications."
The staff member immediately requested, "Sir, then let me go to Zhao Muyun in person and ask you to write a military order in your own hand."
"I don't think any Dayin soldier can resist the temptation of three consecutive promotions."
Pei Lun readily agreed: "After we persuade the Tartars to withdraw, I will report this to the court. His Majesty will surely be greatly pleased and show him great favor."
"Haven't you always wanted to be the prefect? If this is successful, I will find a way for you to be the prefect of Shuozhou."
"I feel more at ease with you watching over Shuozhou."
The staff was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Your subordinate Huang Chang, thank you!"
After a while, Pei Lun stamped the seal of the Hedong Dao Jiedushi on the written military order.
Huang Chang carefully took the military order and turned to leave.
......
at the same time.
After hearing the reminder from his followers, Huyan Gu immediately wanted to chase Zhao Muyun back and start a new conversation.
"Captain Zhao, your asking price is outrageous. Can you please give us some more realistic terms?"
Zhao Muyun also turned around and left on purpose just now.
After all, this trick is always effective for bargaining when shopping.
When Lin Feng, Huan Naxue, Wang Tiezhu, Mahmud and others still thought that Zhao Muyun was determined not to negotiate with the Tartars, Zhao Muyun stopped and turned back.
"Prince Huyan, tell me, what conditions can you agree to?" Zhao Muyun asked seriously.
"There should be no problem in withdrawing the troops!"
Hu Yan Gu said, "But if you want three states, that's definitely not possible. We can only give up one state."
"A compensation of one hundred thousand taels is too much. Our royal court was plundered by you, and we simply can't afford that much silver. Ten thousand taels at most!"
"As for war horses, three thousand, no more!"
Zhao Muyun thought about it carefully and realized that what Huyan Gu said was the utmost sincerity based on King Zhelan's current situation.
If the requirements put forward at the beginning were really followed, King Zhelan would probably just give up.
Anyway, Fan Nan will launch a counterattack tomorrow, so it is still unknown whether these negotiations will be effective.
"Originally, I had no intention of discussing this with you, but since you are so sincere, I reluctantly agreed!" Zhao Muyun pretended to be in great difficulty.
What?
Huyan Gu's face froze and he regretted it to death.
Zhao Muyun is so flexible. I should have bargained more earlier.
But the words have been spoken, and if I go back on my words, Zhao Muyun will be unwilling to talk.
"Then...then Sergeant Zhao, when will you release those people?" Huyan Gu asked loudly.
"As long as you do one thing, I will release some of you! Once all the tasks are completed, I will also release all your family members!"
"But don't worry, as long as you come as agreed, I won't make things difficult for your family."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yan Gu immediately said, "I will give you a thousand war horses and two thousand taels of silver, and ask you to release your hundred families. How do you do that?"
Although the two parties reached a verbal agreement, Huyan Gu still had to go to King Zhelan to report the success of the negotiations to demonstrate his ability!
If King Zhelan could be made to believe that Huyan Gu had successfully negotiated the deal, then the hostages obtained in exchange would be the best proof.
So Huyan Gu took the initiative to propose releasing some of the hostages.
"Haha, Prime Minister Huyan is such a straightforward person. I'm very happy to make a deal with you! One hundred men is one hundred men, and I'll also give you the wife of King Zhelan!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Huyan Gu was also impatient and immediately ordered Timur's men to hand over war horses and silver.
Each man in the Timur tribe had two horses, so it was no problem for them to produce a thousand war horses.
Before invading Dayin, the Timur tribe attacked the Wuhuan tribe and seized a large amount of property. In addition to the usual looting of the border of Dayin, they had quite a lot of wealth.
Otherwise, how could Timur have the money to buy smuggled salt and iron at high prices from Bai Shouren, and even pay Bai Shouren extra money to inquire about Zhao Muyun's news.
They had their money with them, so it was no problem for them to take out two thousand taels of silver at once.
"Prince Wang, why are we the ones paying for the war horses?" Timur's men complained as soon as they heard it.
"It was Timur and you who made this great mistake. Now is the time for you to atone for your sins. Although you have lost your horses and silver, your territory and tribe are still there!"
Huyan Gu chuckled and said that the war horses and silver must be provided by Timur's tribe.
When Timur's men heard that Huyan Gu was threatening them again, they had to agree even though they were extremely dissatisfied.
After a while, Timur's men sent someone to deliver war horses and silver.
A thousand war horses filled the dry valley!
Zhao Muyun ordered Xiaowu and Huan Naxue to take three hundred Wuhuan people to collect the war horses and silver, and move them into the Black Camel Mountain to hide them.
Then he ordered Tang Yanhai and Wang Tiezhu to escort the family members of the 100 Tartars back to Huyan Gu.
It just so happened that among the family members were Huyan Gu’s wife and son.
Huyan Gu cried with joy.
He ordered people to bring back the hundred family members, and then sent a fast horse to report the news to King Zhelan at the foot of Shuozhou City.
