Next, Yun Zheng and Jia Yao engaged in a long tug-of-war.
Jiayao wanted the two big "ginsengs".
Although Yun Zheng really wanted to give it to her, he couldn't give it to her readily.
People are like this. They won’t doubt something they have worked hard to get.
But if someone gives it to you as a gift, you will either suspect that they have ulterior motives or that it is fake.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Yun Zheng quickly and secretly winked at Ye Zi, indicating that Ye Zi should come and persuade him.
Ye Zi cursed this bastard in her heart, then pretended to pull Yun Zheng aside and persuaded him in a low voice.
After hesitating for a long time, Yun Zheng turned to look at Jia Yao, "How many of my prisoners do you have?"
"More than 1,800 people."
Jia Yao replied.
...
...
More than 1,800 people?
He actually didn't have many Northern Huan captives in his hands.
All together there are less than two thousand people.
Even if the small number of prisoners from Suining Guards were included, there would probably be only about two thousand people.
Jia Yao has now offered five war horses in exchange for one extra prisoner.
By this calculation, the number of war horses that could be exchanged would probably be less than a thousand.
"The total number of prisoners I have and those from Suining Guards is about 2,000. I don't want to argue with you anymore. If you bring 1,500 war horses in exchange, I'll give you the smaller of the two ginsengs!"
Yun Zheng directly stated his conditions.
"You're thinking that!"
Jia Yao snorted and said in a tough tone: "If you really have so many captives, I can only give you a thousand war horses at most! Not one more!"
Next, the two began to bargain.
In the end, the agreement was reached for 1,200 horsepower war motors.
But Jiayao had a condition: the "ginseng" must be given to her now.
If she left it with Yun Zheng, she was afraid that Yun Zheng would tamper with it.
This time, Yun Zheng readily agreed, citing his "honesty and trustworthiness" as an excuse.
After handing the smaller willow to Jia Yao, Yun Zheng sent her back to the side yard and asked her to make some preparations as they would set off for Suining Guard tomorrow.
"You won't take me to Dingbei?"
Jia Yao asked in surprise.
"What are you going to Dingbei for?"
Yun Zheng shrugged and said, "If Wei Wenzhong wants to come, he can come to Suiningwei to find me. If he doesn't want to come, he can just stay in Dingbei and watch the fun! I'm too lazy to look for him."
Jia Yao raised the corner of his mouth, "It seems that you are very dissatisfied with Wei Wenzhong!"
"nonsense!"
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at Jia Yao and said, "If Wei Wenzhong obeyed my orders, and those 80,000 of you could escape back to Beihuan, I would give you my head!"
Jia Yao curled her lips. Although she was a little unconvinced, she didn't say anything.
If Wei Wenzhong had listened to Yun Zheng's orders, their losses would have been greater.
But it’s not that easy to eat up those 80,000 people!
After a brief chat, Yun Zheng left.
When Yun Zheng returned to his room, Miaoyin and Ye Zi were already waiting there.
"You are such a sinister fellow!"
Seeing Yun Zheng, the two women laughed and cursed at the same time.
This bastard is really scheming.
Never miss any opportunity to take advantage.
"Can you talk? I call that smart."
Yun Zheng laughed and reminded Miaoyin, "When you go to Suining Guard with me later, try not to talk about this matter, so as not to let it slip."
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, the two women just shook their heads and smiled.
This guy is really cautious!
He put a lot of thought into tricking Jia Yao.
"Jia Yao is really unlucky to meet you."
Ye Zi shook her head and smiled, "To be honest, putting aside my personal stance, I admire Jia Yao a lot! Seeing her being tricked by you, sometimes I really sympathize with her."
"Me too!"
Miaoyin nodded slightly and sighed silently in her heart.
Jia Yao can also be considered a remarkable woman.
Apart from anything else, her courage alone is admirable.
If she were not the princess of Beihuan, she would definitely want to become friends with such a remarkable woman.
"I admire her, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to kill her."
Yun Zheng shrugged, "If I give her the chance, she would definitely want to kill me too!"
Admiration is admiration, but the position is the position.
His and Jia Yao's identities destined them to be enemies.
Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself!
"nonsense!"
Miaoyin rolled her eyes at him and said, "If she doesn't want to kill you, it would be strange!"
Ye Zi smiled brightly and nodded in agreement.
…
The next morning, Chen Luoyan personally led 2,500 cavalrymen and followed Yun Zheng to escort a group of prisoners to Suining Guard.
He did not send anyone to notify Wei Wenzhong, planning to wait until he arrived at Suining Wei before sending someone to notify him.
This matter must be discussed with Wei Wenzhong.
They can't just do this in silence!
Otherwise, how to undermine Wei Wenzhong's prestige?
Moreover, if we want to reoccupy the three border cities, we must mobilize a large army.
At present, he can only mobilize troops from Suqu and Shuofang cities. He probably still cannot mobilize troops from other places.
Shuofang is still a little distance away from Suining Wei.
Fortunately, Yun Zheng and his cavalry now had extra war horses. They tied up all the captives tightly and threw them onto the horses, so their marching speed was not too slow.
Two and a half days later, they finally arrived at Suining Wei.
At this time, there was only half a day left before the ten-day period mentioned by Jia Yao.
In other words, they must send someone to contact the people in Beihuan at the latest tomorrow.
When Yun Zheng and his men arrived at Suining Wei, Wei Wenzhong had already arrived there.
After receiving the news that Yun Zheng had sent someone to Dingbei, Wei Wenzhong hurried to Suining Guard.
Exchanging Princess Beihuan for the Three Border Cities is a huge deal, he will definitely come!
Before they reached the city gate, Wei Wenzhong came on horseback with a large group of people.
Qin Qihu was also among them.
As soon as he saw Yun Zheng, Qin Qihu winked at him.
Wei Wenzhong glanced at Jia Yao, whose hands and feet were temporarily tied, and then looked at Yun Zheng: "Congratulations, Sixth Prince, for another great achievement!"
"Just lucky." Yun Zheng replied indifferently.
"I also want to have this luck!"
Wei Wenzhong chuckled and suddenly changed the subject, "I understand your Sixth Prince's urgency to recover the lost territory, but you still need to consider this matter carefully and don't fall into Beihuan's evil scheme!"
As expected, Wei Wenzhong, who was cautious by nature, still had some concerns.
Of course, there are also many people in the military who think this matter is reliable.
Including Wei Wenzhong himself, everyone felt that there was indeed hope for this matter.
However, having hope does not mean success.
It doesn’t mean Bei Huan won’t cheat!
The Northern Army now has some advantages over the Northern Huan.
But this advantage is almost negligible.
One battle is enough to change the relationship between the strong and weak sides.
Under such circumstances, Wei Wenzhong had to be cautious.
"Wei Wenzhong, what do you mean?"
Yun Zheng's face suddenly fell. "I talked to Beihuan's people in the Rift Valley until they agreed to exchange Sanbian City for their princess! Now, the opportunity to recover the lost territory is in front of us, and you are still hesitating here? What are you thinking?"
