Wanyan Pingqiu certainly had ulterior motives. He was not so arrogant as to want to annex the entire Zhou Dynasty.
He also knew that this pieced-together alliance was not reliable at all. He was just using this as an excuse to get a piece of the pie in Yanyun County.
The little prince Moro sent troops to attack Yanyun County. He originally wanted to watch the excitement and wanted to wait for both sides to suffer losses before coming out to reap the benefits, but the result was far beyond his expectation.
The 20,000 cavalry led by Moro actually swept through Yanyun County and captured almost the entire county at a small price!
Not only did they capture tens of thousands of civilian men, they also plundered a large amount of food supplies, gold and silver treasures.
There are so many things I didn’t expect.
I didn't expect that the Zhou officers and soldiers in Yanyun County were so vulnerable, that the Xianbo cavalry was so brave and powerful, and that Li Wanjiang didn't send troops to expel them... If he had known better, he would have sent troops first.
Now this result is not what Wanyan Pingqiu wants to see. Not to mention the gold and silver treasures of the land, population and people they have captured, once the Xianbo people's power grows, it will be a serious threat to Mojie!
So some measures must be taken against them.
Knowing that it would be embarrassing to hit others, and it would be quite laborious to fight oneself, they found an excuse to form an alliance and go south.
He also talked about dividing the territory of Zhou Dynasty equally. He just wanted to divide the Yanyun County that the little prince Moro conquered equally!
The other tribal leaders thought the same thing as him. When they saw him taking the initiative, they immediately expressed their full support!
So the pressure was put on Hungu, the leader of Xianbo, making him very passive.
Of course he doesn't agree with the alliance, but everyone agrees. If he is the only one who objects, wouldn't he become the public enemy of all tribes?
If he agrees, then the large area of land conquered by his youngest son Moro will be divided up in vain by these shameless guys who have not done anything.
Nothing is worthwhile.
What worried him the most was that Prince Moro had taken away almost half of the elites of the tribe. If Wanyan Pingqiu united with other tribes to attack him, it would be difficult to deal with it.
After much deliberation, I could only choose the lesser of two evils.
So he immediately wrote to Moro and asked him to withdraw his troops immediately. Prince Moro disagreed and felt that it would be a pity to give up the territory that was finally won.
Tuhungu said that our hometown may be in danger at any time. Are you still thinking about Yanyun County?
Originally, I didn’t agree with you openly going to war with Dazhou, but you just didn’t listen!
Yanyun County is so big and our population is so small. Even if we capture it, can you swallow it? Even if you swallow it, can you digest it?
Prince Moro feels that his father is too cowardly, and Wanyan Pingqiu is not that courageous either. If he dares to attack, we will do it with him!
Go back and forth and see who reaps the benefits?
Either Li Wanjiang in the south or the Rus in the north!
So the final result is that everyone dies together, it’s just a matter of whose hands they die.
Wanyan Pingqiu would not be so stupid.
Tuhungu said that Wanyan Pingqiu was not stupid, but he was greedy. With interests at hand, this kid could do anything!
Besides, even if he doesn't commit an offense, can you guarantee that the leaders of the other tribes will not commit an offense?
Now we are the target of public criticism!
There will be arrows fired from behind at any time.
Prince Moro, however, still didn't take it seriously. If that doesn't work, let's move the whole Xianbo family to Yanyun County. This place is also sparsely populated and has pastures, farmland, and cities. It's no better than where we live. Much stronger?
You're so old-fashioned that you almost vomited blood. You brat want to throw away the land left by your ancestors? Don’t you know that the roots of our Xianbo people are rooted in this grassland?
Do you know how much your father and your father’s father paid to conquer this grassland with rich water and grass?
Taking a step back, even if I agree with your suggestion, will our people agree?
I don’t think we need others to attack us, our own people will rebel first!
You kid, get the hell back here right away, otherwise I will send someone to take over your military power, deprive you of your title of prince, turn you into a commoner, and let you herd sheep for the rest of your life!
This is all the content of the letter. In the last letter, Tuhungu had already sent an ultimatum to his younger son.
Unless Prince Moro betrays his father and his people, he will inevitably choose to retreat.
Do you think Xiao Chen and Zhuge Xiaosheng were not happy when they found out about this?
This little prince Moro might be holding his breath, so he sent troops to attack Xiao Chen, firstly to make him angry, and secondly to snatch some supplies back.
But he unexpectedly hit a hard nail. He must be regretting this rash decision at this moment, right?
"It seems that I need to take action." Chen Jisheng suddenly said without any clue.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Chen didn't react for a moment.
"Of course I'm going to negotiate with that little Prince Moro." Chen Jisheng said, "Although I don't know much about military affairs, I know that this battle with him will not go on. Since we won't fight, we must sit down. Let’s talk.”
"How do you plan to talk to him?" Xiao Chen said.
"The current situation is quite unfavorable to him. Strictly speaking, we still have the initiative. In this case, of course we must put forward some conditions for him. First of all, he cannot take away any of our people in Yanyun County!" Chen Jisheng is a hardliner. .
He's always been so tough.
"We also need to sign a non-aggression treaty with him and draw a clear border with them... These are practical and pragmatic things that must be done. It would be best if he could be honored with his father's name. Give the emperor a letter of surrender or confession..." Chen Jisheng said with his fingers.
"I heard that this little Prince Moro is arrogant and arrogant. I'm afraid he won't be able to write a confession. It's better to change it to a confession. As long as he is willing to confess in the book, he can have an explanation to Li Wanjiang. Anyway, the former Han Dynasty At that time, they have always been loyal." Ye Baiqing said.
"Well, not only do you have to be a vassal, but you also have to pay tribute. But this is just a matter of situation. We don't lack anything from him. Throughout the past dynasties, our rewards have been much greater than their tributes." Chen Jisheng said.
"What the old man and Bai Qing said are reasonable, but these conditions are not important. The important thing is to agree with him on something that cannot be a formal treaty..." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Well, Xiaosheng means to negotiate with him openly and form an alliance with him secretly?" Chen Jisheng laughed while stroking his beard.
"Yes, if he can agree to these requests of ours, then we can consider forming an alliance with him. This will be very beneficial for us to establish a foothold in Yanyun County in the future." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Looking at the overall situation, we can also consider giving him some benefits, such as opening and closing the mutual market." Ye Baiqing said.
"Switching the mutual market is not only beneficial to them, but also very beneficial to us." Chen Jisheng said.
