Not to mention several hundred kilograms, even if it was just a few dozen kilograms of explosives, their weapons were so sophisticated that they could definitely turn their people into cannon fodder.
In addition to the last sneak attack by Wen Jingchi, many of their troops were killed and wounded, and they could not withstand the hardship at all.
After gritting his teeth, the leader immediately decided to negotiate with Wen Jingchi.
At noon the next day, he personally led his men to the top floor of Chongyang Tower.
Wen Jingchi and others have prepared a banquet and are here to entertain you.
When he saw Chu Weiyue again, there was obvious anger in the chief's eyes. Chu Weiyue didn't care at all. Instead, she hooked her lips gently at him.
"My Lord Chief, how are you?"
The chief glared at him coldly. This was a meeting and he couldn't act too arrogantly.
He immediately cast his eyes on Wen Jingchi's face, "Ninth Prince, you really married a good wife, who is even better than a man. I am really impressed."
He clasped his hands together. Even though he hated Chu Weiyue, and even hated her, he couldn't help but express his admiration for her.
Wen Jingchi was amused by him and laughed out loud. After some superficial politeness, the two sides began the formal negotiations.
"Your Highness has taken the initiative to seek peace this time. I wonder what conditions he intends to offer. I am a straightforward person, so we don't need to hide anything."
Some things are known to everyone, and the chief is not the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush.
Chu Weiyue picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"The great leader is indeed straightforward, but we did not initiate the peace talks. We felt that if we continued to fight like this, we would both suffer heavy losses, and the people behind the scenes would reap the benefits."
The chief pretended not to understand, "What do you mean by 'profiting from the loss of a fisherman'? Our two countries are at war, is there anyone else watching?"
The chief spread his hands and looked puzzled.
Chu Weiyue sneered coldly, "You know exactly what I mean. Don't think I don't know that you and the prince are colluding with each other."
"The prince will certainly promise you many benefits, but he will not be able to fulfill them. When we fight to the death, he will reap the benefits. Not only will he get rid of Wen Jingchi, the great threat, but he can also take the opportunity to destroy you."
The chief didn't feel panicked at first, but after hearing Chu Weiyue's words, his eyes flashed with obvious surprise.
After so many contacts, it was impossible for him to regard Chu Weiyue as an ordinary woman.
He frowned, not denying it, but not admitting it either.
Wen Jingchi sighed, "If my guess is correct, you want to join forces with the prince, and he will definitely promise to give you the city and even provide you with food, but do you think he will be so stupid?"
“He won’t even let his own brothers go, so how could he let an outsider like you go? When we fight to the death and you have no time to recover, he will take the opportunity to attack and kill you completely.
If you die, he can support a new leader, and Waten will be his in disguise. We fight to the death, and in the end, isn't it the prince who reaps the benefits? "
Although the people of Wateng are brave and good at fighting, many of them conquer others through force.
The reason why the great chief can be the leader is not because he is so smart, but because he is the prince with the highest martial arts skills in their country!
The chief was a little hesitant about cooperating with Wen Jingchi, but after listening to his explanation, he suddenly understood.
"You are so right. I never thought I would be fooled by him! Fortunately, I didn't listen to him, otherwise..."
Thinking of this, he felt a tingling sensation on his back.
He is a rough man, only good at marching and fighting.
The people of Wateng don't have so many cunning ideas, so they fell into the prince's trap.
It was rare that he understood this truth, so Chu Weiyue hinted at it indirectly.
"So, Chief, you'd better stop before it's too late and go back on your agreement with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is very ambitious. I'm sure you've heard about the drought in the north before. He was the one behind it.
He treats his own people like this, so even if you surrender, how can he treat your people well? You might as well cooperate with us. You should be able to see it from our attitude towards your captives..."
Chu Weiyue used his eloquent tongue to begin his attack accurately and forcefully.
The chief never doubted this.
Wen Jingchi released a group of prisoners some time ago.
Many of these prisoners were disabled because they were seriously injured.
Although they were cured, it was difficult for them to fight in the battlefield, so they were sent back to their hometown.
Based on this point alone, he knew that if Wen Jingchi became emperor, he would definitely love his people like his own children.
But because of their different positions, they naturally had to compete with each other in the past.
Now, the best option for him is to cooperate with Wen Jingchi.
But thinking of the current situation of his country, the chief sighed.
"Even if I am willing to cooperate with you, what can I do? I am afraid that we are not 100% sure of success if we join forces. Although I completely trust you, you are not aware of the internal situation of our country of Waten. ...
Wen Jingchi curled his lips in an unfathomable manner.
"Of course I know the situation inside your tribe. In recent years, the tribe has been hit by natural disasters and man-made disasters. Not only has the grassland been burned, the livestock has died of disease, and the crops have also been affected by locust disasters.
You have little arable land, so you need to expand the area in the west. You don't have many people, and we have a rich supply of food and grass in the west. If we give you two border cities, it will be enough for you, the people of Wateng, to have enough food and clothing for a year."
"So as long as you cooperate with me, I will cede three border cities and sign a friendly trade contract. Your developed animal husbandry is exactly what we lack. Peaceful and friendly coexistence should be much better than us fighting to the death, right?"
The leader is in this position, so he must be far-sighted.
What Wen Jingchi said did not do him any harm.
He already knew the character of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly. Even if he killed Wen Jingchi, that despicable villain, he would definitely destroy their Wateng.
Only by believing in Wen Jingchi can their people have a glimmer of hope...
In the past, they had thought about friendly cooperation with the Central Plains, but various factors had prevented it from happening.
If what Wen Jingchi said was true, and they traded with each other, the people could live and work in peace.
This is what he should give to the people as a leader.
“What you said makes sense, but even though I am the leader, there are some things I must discuss with my subordinates.
After some thought, the leader agreed reluctantly.
"Then we will wait for good news."
Wen Jingchi clasped his hands together, and the chief nodded, stood up politely and bowed to him.
Both parties finished the banquet and then left.
On the way back, Chu Weiyue showed a comfortable smile.
