Chapter 1286 Stalemate

"It seems that they have already discussed it deeply." Azhashili said with a gloomy face: "Otherwise, Nahachu would not be so obsessed and would secretly send people to Qingzhou."

"That's the reason." Tabing Timur nodded and said: "And he must have sold us, otherwise he would not have hidden it from us."

"I don't know whether he sold others or not, but he definitely sold us." Azhashili's face turned dark and said: "Don't think that he said nice things, but he never regarded us as his own people!"

"Of course." Tabing Timur was also full of resentment and said: "We died so many people for him, and the loss was so great, but he didn't see him return the Bayintala pasture to us. Now it is still the people of Fengwang who are grazing there!"

It was because of the dispute over this excellent plain pasture that Azhashili and Hong Boyan Timur had a big fight. Later, the prince took sides again, so he was angry and led his people away, which led to the tragic defeat of Korchin.

After a major failure, people will try to find reasons in others, and they will feel better if they put the blame on others.

Azhashili blamed the defeat of Khorchin on the heads of the princes and the kings of Feng. Hearing this, he was furious and said:

"Since they don't regard us as their own people, there is no need for us to work for them! I also want to talk to the Ming army about surrendering. Instead of letting others sell us, it is better to sell ourselves and get a good price!"

"We have been killed by the Ming army, and we are still talking to them?" Tabing Timur asked softly.

"That's why we have to talk. Do you want to kill more people?" Azhashili looked at him expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty is right." Tabing Timur nodded and reminded him, "But I heard that the Ming army only negotiated with Nahachu and ignored others."

"Can we go find Batula?" Azashili said, "Look at him jumping up and down, he must be back with an errand."

"That's right, he also deliberately leaked the news this time. It seems that Nahachu didn't redeem him last time, and he has a grudge in his heart." Tabing Timur nodded.

"Of course not. He was not among the 120 redeemed. How could he, as a brother, not feel disappointed?" Azhashili said with a gloating smile: "So it is normal for him to surrender to the Ming Dynasty."

"Please prepare a generous gift to meet him." He also instructed Tabing Timur: "Ask him to tell the Ming army that as long as we are given a way to survive, we are willing to defect at any time!"

"Ah?" Tabing Timur was surprised: "Don't you want to sell it at a good price?"

"If you want to sell it at a good price, you don't have to ask for a high price." Azhashili said leisurely: "You can also 'not be afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing the goods'. The more Nahachu asks for a sky-high price, the more we should do the opposite of him, so that the Ming army will definitely treat us preferentially."

"I understand, this can put pressure on him." Tabing Timur suddenly said: "It can also set an example for others."

"That's the reason, go." Azhashili waved his hand.

In fact, not only Azashili, but all the princes and nobles got the news that Guantong went to Gyeongju again from different channels.

In addition to cursing Nahachu in private, they also contacted the Ming army privately, hoping to leave a way out.

And they didn't need to go through Batula's way. Those tribesmen who were released with Batula knew how to contact the Ming army.

The Ming army did not refuse to talk to them this time, but they were still unwilling to conduct multi-line negotiations. They still insisted on talking to Nahachu first, and would change the negotiating partner only after the talks broke down.

The princes and nobles had to wait patiently for the news from Nahachu. In this way, in June, Nahachu was still hesitant, repeated, and refused to give a definite answer.

In Gyeongju City, the negotiations were also intermittent and stumbling. There were many reasons, but the main reason was that the prices offered by both sides were too different and no compromise could be reached.

Nahachu wanted a large area of ​​land from Daqing Mountain in the east to Khorchin in the west, Luoma River in the south, and the foothills of Qingyun Mountain in the north as his hereditary territory.

But Zhu Zhen was only willing to give him Quanningwei. Quanningwei was Quanning Road in the Yuan Dynasty, with an area of ​​less than one twentieth of what Nahachu wanted, and it was between the two major towns of Daning and Qingzhou of the Ming army, so there was no room for secret expansion.

In Nahachu's view, such a small area could not even accommodate his own tribe, so how could he agree?

So the negotiations have been delayed until now.

Finally, after the negotiations failed again, Fu Youde said to Guan Tong impatiently: "I think your Taiwei is not sincere in surrendering, but is playing a trick of delaying and waiting for changes."

"My Lord, what you said is unreasonable. We have always been sincere in negotiating. It's just that the conditions you gave are too harsh. We really can't explain to the people below." Guan Tong said calmly: "My Lord, it's very simple to make progress. Please show mercy to us, Your Majesty, and give us more land, isn't it?"

"Get it clear, you are surrendering now!" Fu Youde frowned and said: "Bargaining requires strength, do you understand? If you don't have strength and want to ask for a high price, isn't it just a dream?"

"We are still very strong." Guan Tong said proudly: "We are qualified to bargain!"

"Why, do you want to fight again?" Fu Youde looked at him for a moment, and couldn't help laughing contemptuously: "I thought the two battles in Qingzhou and Tongliao had woken you up, but it turns out you are still dreaming!"

"My lord, there is no need to threaten me with war. In short, we will not surrender unless we are given satisfactory conditions!" Guantong said with determination on his face: "In the worst case, it will be a fight to the death. Who will win or lose is yet to be determined!"

"It's a joke. From our point of view, Naha is like a turtle in the urn. It's really easy to deal with him." Fu Youde laughed and said: "Since you don't want to eat the toast, then you will have to wait for the penalty bar."

Guantong's face turned pale when he heard this, and he insisted: "We have control of two hundred thousand people, and we occupy the Qingyun natural barrier. Your army in Qingzhou City only has one hundred thousand troops. If you want to kill us, I'm afraid you don't have the ability." !”

"Then let's see the truth on the battlefield." Fu Youde waved his hand and said, "Send off the guests."

Qingyun Mountain Old Camp.

"See you on the battlefield then!" After listening to Guantong's story, Naha showed a rare fighting spirit.

"The Ming army has disrespected me too much. We must give them a beating to let them get to know me again."

Guantong looked at Naha in surprise and thought to himself, "Is the sun coming out in the west?" How did the thousand-year-old turtle change his gender?

Seeing his unbelievable expression, Naha Chucai whispered: "Someone from the court came two days ago.

Tell me that the Grand Master has led an army of 100,000 people to the south and is here to support us. "

"Oh? The imperial court really wants to come to support us?" Guantong's pupils shrank when he heard this. No wonder the captain suddenly became more powerful. It turned out that there were reinforcements.

"Is there still a lie?" Naha nodded and said, "The person who came that day was the second prince's guardian slave. Do you understand how much the court values ​​us?"
