How could the barbarian general tolerate being humiliated on his own home turf? He also glared at the other party fiercely.
The barbarian king pretended to know nothing and asked, "Why do you all come to me?
There shouldn't be any plans for joint operations recently."
Seeing that the barbarian king pretended to know nothing made them very angry.
The Khitan Khan shouted angrily, "How dare you say that? You attacked Dayuan without even saying hello.
After we heard the news, we immediately sent troops to provide support.
But what do you all do?
After the defeat, he ran away without informing us.
We had to fight with Dayuan for several days, and we fell into their trap and suffered heavy losses.
We must be given an explanation for this matter!"
The Khan of the Jin Kingdom immediately said: "We must give us a chance!
Did you do this on purpose?
You guys lost the battle and you’re deliberately trying to harm us.”
The Barbarian King snorted coldly, "What nonsense! We Barbarians can plunder Dayuan whenever we want.
Who says I have to say hello to you?
Although it is true that we have formed an alliance, that is to attack Dayuan, and we will only move out together when the war officially begins.
You guys are greedy and want to rob supplies. Did you inform us in advance?
Since we didn't tell us, why should we tell you that we're retreating?"
The barbarian king asked three questions in a row, leaving the other party speechless.
From the very beginning they had their own agenda.
They planned to let the barbarians attract a large number of troops so that they could take advantage of the situation.
But I never expected to be tricked by the barbarians.
Now you rush over to demand an explanation, which is totally unreasonable.
"That's not true. After we heard the news of the barbarians invading Dayuan, we quickly sent troops to support them.
I'm just worried that you'll suffer losses.
You guys are so good, you didn't even say hello before taking action.
They didn't inform us in advance after the defeat and deliberately watched us suffer losses.
It seems our alliance has come to an end. From now on, the Barbarians will deal with Dayuan on their own. We will not be involved!"
The Jin Khan turned the tables and once again put all the blame on the barbarians.
The Khitan Khan immediately followed up with, "That's right, the barbarians only care about themselves and harm their friends. They are not worth cooperating with.
If you have no selfish motives, join us in invading Dayuan.
How could it be possible that it ended up like this?"
Seeing that the conflict was about to break up, the barbarian king began to panic.
If they don't join forces to deal with Dayuan, their situation will become even more difficult in the future.
He immediately lowered his posture and explained, "You misunderstood. It's not that we deliberately didn't inform you when we were defeated.
First, I had no idea that you were also sending troops into Dayuan.
Second, the losses were devastating, it was a complete defeat.
I was so busy running away that I didn't have time to think too much.
If this creates a rift between us, we will never be allies again.
In the end, it was the Dayuan Dynasty that benefited the most.
When Dayuan becomes powerful, it will gradually destroy us.
By then it will be too late to regret!"
"Humph, Dayuan wants to destroy us? Dream on! We are all herdsmen. If we can defeat them, we fight. If we can't, we retreat. Dayuan has no chance of occupying our grasslands!"
“It may have been right to think so before, but I can’t say for sure in the future!
Li Ye, the sixth prince of Dayuan, was stationing troops at the border and building a large number of villages.
Even when I personally led an army of over 100,000 to attack, we suffered heavy losses and were almost wiped out.
He must have done this in preparation for an attack on the grassland.
If we continue to act like this, he will destroy us sooner or later."
After hearing the words of the Barbarian King, they remembered that the Dayuan cavalry all used their war horses.
In addition, the crossbows were so sharp that they were unable to resist in frontal combat.
Is it true that in future wars we can only run away?
"Then what do you want to do? If you only want to benefit yourself, we would rather submit to Dayuan than cooperate with you."
The Khan of the Jin Dynasty thought of the incident in the previous war, and he felt a pang of fear in his heart, and his words became much softer.
It was incredible to see the defeated soldiers returning.
Only after asking someone to conduct a thorough investigation did we find out the whole story.
That's why they went together to ask for an explanation.
The result was completely different from what they expected. The barbarians not only refused to admit that they had cheated them.
And the more I understand, the more dangerous the situation becomes.
In order to stay together and survive, we have to continue to unite.
The barbarian king smiled when he saw that he had frightened the other party.
He said to them: "Although you have suffered a great loss this time, I have already thought of a way to deal with it..."
Next, I told them how to deal with it.
Although the cost is high, it takes a long time to achieve.
But it does work.
"You have come at just the right time. I was just planning to send an envoy to ask for peace.
Why don't you send someone to join us?
When it is time to bow your head, you should bow your head. What does face matter?
Once we are fully prepared, we will wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"Okay, then I'll trust you again!" The Jin Khan had no better way and could only compromise.
The Khitan Khan had no choice but to agree.
Each side sent envoys to ask for peace.
Fighting is one thing, but if you can't grab enough supplies, you can only buy them at a high price.
Let’s first ensure the supply needs of the herders.
The envoys of several countries had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Dayuan after receiving the order.
Go find Li Ye.
They were also prepared to be killed.
After all, they had just fought a war, and it was they who had no credibility and violated the treaty.
Even if I kill them to vent my anger, I can't find any fault with them.
But if they do not obey the order and come to negotiate, their Khan will destroy them.
Li Ye was a little surprised when he received the notification.
Knowing that they had lost the war, they would definitely come to negotiate trade.
But I never expected that it would come so soon.
Are you so shameless!
Lei Ying was very cautious: "They sent envoys here so quickly to negotiate. I think there is something fishy going on.
Maybe they are the assassins sent to kill His Highness.
This matter must be prevented!"
"We have to meet each other, so we have to understand their purpose.
As for how to ensure my safety, I'll leave it to you.
If I don't meet, people will look down on me and think I'm too timid," Li Ye said.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away!"
Princess Ruyue also turned and left.
"Where are you going?" Li Ye asked.
Princess Ruyue replied, "I'll change my clothes and take my weapons with me, and stay by your side to protect you."
Li Ye laughed when he heard this: "Maybe they come with sincerity, so there's no need to be so defensive."
"Be careful and don't make mistakes! This kind of thing has happened before.
The enemy country already knows that you are the biggest threat and will definitely try every possible means to assassinate you.
We can't be careless!" Princess Ruyue said sternly.
