Ask... for a peace letter?
After hearing Jia Yao's words, Guiyou and Fang Yunshi were stunned for a moment.
Looking at the expressions of the two people, Jia Yao couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart.
Do they think the current Beihuan is still the same Beihuan as before?
Don't you want to make peace yet?
If she could succeed in making peace now, she would be so happy even if it meant ceding territory and becoming a vassal!
Anyway, they will keep retreating.
You can cut those lands however you want!
Just leave them enough living space so that they can recuperate.
"Princess, do we really want peace?"
...
...
Guyu was unwilling to give in, "We can still recruit 200,000 or 300,000 more..."
"Okay! Do you believe this?"
Jia Yao interrupted Guiyou weakly, "We can indeed recruit another 200,000 or 300,000 people, but as long as we fail to defeat the Northern Army before winter, there will be no Northern Huan in the world..."
Who wouldn't want to desperately recruit an army?
If there is no food, all we have to do is kill all the livestock to supplement military rations!
If you don't have armor, you can just make do with two layers of cowhide.
Not enough weapons?
Simple!
Farm tools can be melted down and used to forge weapons.
If all else fails, you can just take a stick and tie a stone to it and use it as a weapon.
But if they really did so, it would be like gambling everything in Beihuan.
If they fail to break through the defenses of Gobian and attack Shuobei, Beihuan will be completely destroyed in half a year at most!
She didn't know how crazy a person must be to devote the entire country's strength and gamble the lives of all the people in Beihuan to fight a war that had no chance of winning.
At least she wouldn't do that.
Unless, Beihuan has no place to retreat!
At that time, since everyone was going to die anyway, men, women, young and old, all gave it a try.
After listening to Jiayao's words, Guiyou fell silent.
Fang Yunshi was silent for a moment, then tentatively said, "Princess, instead of seeking peace with the Emperor, why not seek..."
"Do you think Yun Zheng would agree? If Yun Zheng would agree, would I need to go through so much trouble?"
Jia Yao interrupted Fang Yunshi and smiled bitterly, "However, you can also try to talk to Yun Zheng. If Yun Zheng disagrees, you can go to the Dagan Imperial City!"
She knew that Yun Zheng would not agree, so she asked for peace with the emperor!
If the emperor of Dagan agreed and gave Yun Zheng an imperial decree to cease fire, and Yun Zheng obeyed the decree, it would be great news for Beihuan.
If it really doesn't work, it would be good to delay it for a while.
"this……"
Fang Yunshi felt a little guilty, "How about letting King Daming go? I have a lot of things to do, and I can't leave for the time being..."
He knew very well how much the people in Dagan hated him.
If you run to the imperial city, you might get killed.
Although two countries at war do not kill envoys, if Emperor Wen really killed him, what can the Northern Huan do now?
Could it be possible that Beihuan would go to war with Dagan for him?
"Someone will naturally take over your business."
Jia Yao said calmly: "You are the only one in Beihuan who knows Da Gan the best. If you don't go, who will go?"
"this……"
Fang Yunshi was speechless, and after hesitating for a long time, he suddenly knelt down, kowtowed and wailed, "Princess, I can't go to the imperial city! If I go, I'm afraid my life will be in danger!"
"When two countries are at war, envoys should not be killed! I believe that the Emperor Da Gan still has this magnanimity." Jia Yao had made up her mind and said in a deep voice: "Besides, my Beihuan is in crisis right now. This princess cannot guarantee that she can live until tomorrow. Who can't lose their life at any time?"
Fang Yunshi was left speechless by what Jia Yao said and could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
But Jia Yao had already made up his mind and was not moved at all.
Guyu can choose not to go, but Fang Yunshi must go!
To her, Fang Yunshi is more useful.
"Softie!"
Guiyou looked at Fang Yunshi with disdain, then frowned at Jiayao: "If we want peace, we have to show our sincerity, right? I wonder if the princess will..."
Jia Yao said in a deep voice: "As long as Da Gan is willing to cease fire, we Bei Huan can cede land and become its vassal. We will try our best not to pay tribute if we can. If tribute is really necessary, we Bei Huan will pay Da Gan 30,000 sheepskins and 1,000 war horses every year..."
Guiyou's whole body trembled, and then he let out a weak sigh.
Cede land, pay tribute, pay tribute...
Beihuan, has it really come to this?
Guyu was in an extremely heavy mood.
After a while, Guiyou asked again: "Princess, what if these conditions still cannot satisfy Dagan's appetite?"
"Then add another one, a marriage alliance!"
Jia Yao clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "When it's absolutely necessary, you can tell the Emperor of Da Gan that I can marry into Da Gan as the Princess Regent of Bei Huan and become his...concubine!"
As Jia Yao finished speaking, Fang Yunshi suddenly raised his head and looked at Jia Yao in a daze.
…
Guard the edge.
Yun Zheng met Ashina, the envoy from Beimoduo who was asking for help.
Ashina looked similar to someone from Beihuan, which made Yun Zheng wonder if he was a person from Beihuan pretending to be one.
Knowing that the person in front of him was the King of Jingbei who had beaten Beihuan to a pulp, Ashina quickly knelt down and saluted, "Respected King of Jingbei, you are the star in the night, you are so dazzling, please accept my highest respect..."
As he said this, Ashina crossed his hands on his chest and knelt down.
“…”
Yun Zheng looked at Ashina with a dark face.
Who the hell called these people barbarians?
Look at how others are flattering you!
But, it just feels a bit disgusting!
You might as well just say that I blinded your 24K krypton gold dog eyes.
Yun Zheng secretly complained in his heart, and raised his hand to invite him, "No need to be polite!"
"Thank you, King Jingbei."
Ashina stood up and said quickly: "Beimudao was attacked by Qiuchi, please..."
"That's enough, that's enough!"
Yun Zheng interrupted Ashina and said, "My subordinates have already told me about your situation! I only have one question for you now, and I hope you can tell me the truth."
"Please ask, Your Majesty."
"Have you also sent people to ask Beihuan for help?"
"No! Absolutely not! Although Beimotu is located in a remote area, we have heard the legend that King Jingbei is invincible! King Jingbei is the strongest man on the grassland. We, Beimotu, are only willing to submit to Dagan..."
Ashina talked incessantly, almost swearing.
However, Yun Zheng was skeptical about Ashina's words.
They have now confirmed that Beimoduo was indeed attacked by Qiuchi. Beimoduo is no match for Qiuchi. Beimoduo suffered heavy losses and has been continuously shrinking its defenses. Half of its already small territory has been occupied by Qiuchi.
To be honest, Beimodo is also quite miserable.
The people of Beimoduo were already living a miserable life in this cold and bitter land. Although they were not so poor that they had no food to eat, they were basically just barely making ends meet.
Even so, they still had to pay tribute to Beihuan every year.
In the past, with Bei Huan protecting him, no one dared to attack Bei Motu.
Relying on the support of the boss, Beimotu, as the younger brother, bullies Qiuchi from time to time.
Now that Beihuan is in a difficult situation, it would be strange if Qiuchi did not take the opportunity to seek revenge on Beimoduo.
So, as a younger brother, it is very important to choose the right boss!
Just as Yun Zheng was secretly sighing, Lu Xing walked in quickly and whispered in Yun Zheng's ear.
uh-huh?
Yun Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and his eyes fell on Ashina.
Facing Yun Zheng's gaze, Ashina suddenly felt uneasy.
"Your Excellency, you are not honest!"
Yun Zheng stared at Ashina with a playful smile on his face...
