Chapter 2303: Result of the Negotiation
<North border of Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom, Long Qian Xing’s side>
The discussion between Long Qian Xing and Prime Minister Yang only ended when it was night time.
Thankfully, they didn’t have to continue discussing again tomorrow.
Even if there would be some other ministers sent by Emperor Yang Zhou here, it would not affect their original agreement. The details would be done later as Long Qian Xing had other things he had to do.
But for tonight, they had to rest.
“Is this agreement the best for us?” General Yang asked as he looked at the terms inside. Some of them were beneficial for them and the request from Long Qian Xing was not as annoying as Fan Yi Kingdom’s Emperor.
Of course, this was not the final agreement.
They still have to discuss with the other representative from Fei Yang Kingdom later. But based on this alone, they felt that it shouldn’t be too bad.
“Unless you want to stand on your own, you need to stay under a kingdom,” Prime Minister Yang answered lightly.
General Yang coughed and looked away.
What a joke.
Even if there were some small kingdoms that only consist of a few hundred people all over the lands, these kingdoms were not recognized. It meant that they could be attacked by other kingdoms easily.
And with the strength of Fei Yang Kingdom’s military, would they leave these small kingdoms alone?
It was unlikely.
If General Yang truly led his soldiers on his own to stay on this border, he would have to fight against north and south at the same time. It would be the same as putting himself and the people under him on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at all times.
They could only be part of the kingdom and listened to the arrangement made for them.
“At least, we can still be a general and protect the border,” General Gao said calmly. The other two looked at General Gao and nodded.
They were actually no longer that young, but Fei Yang Kingdom still wanted to use them to protect the border.
“It’s already time to train the successor and let them get used to it,” General Yang said with a sigh.
“Your son is already a commander,” Prime Minister Yang replied.
“He’s not good enough.”
Prime Minister Yang shrugged, but he also knew that another reason why General Yang didn’t let his son be a general like him was because he was worried for his son. He felt that his son was not good enough yet.
General Gao shook his head.
His son was also a commander on the battlefield and if General Gao had to say, he felt that his son was getting better and better.
But of course, now that they were following Fei Yang Kingdom, the promotion had to wait for their agreement.
Before, they also needed Fan Yi Kingdom’s agreement.
The three of them talked a few more words before went their separate ways. They had to convince their soldiers and also explained some other things that Fei Yang Kingdom wanted them to do.
While the three people from Fan Yi Kingdom were doing their own things, Long Qian Xing went to see Wei Mu Bai and explained the agreement.
“We didn’t have to fight at all?” Wei Mu Bai asked, feeling a bit surreal.
Long Qian Xing nodded. “Now that the war had reached this stage, General Yang and the other two didn’t want to have a fight. They agree to surrender to Fei Yang Kingdom on some premises.”
There were things that Fei Yang Kingdom had to follow.
But compared to fighting and sacrificing the lives of who knows how many soldiers, this was already the best result.
Wei Mu Bai nodded. “It’s amazing. As expected of you, General Xing.”
“You’ll be able to do the same.”
Wei Mu Bai shook his head.
He knew that another reason why General Yang and the other two agreed to have a negotiation was inseparable from Long Qian Xing’s reputation. Long Qian Xing was already famous and his contribution in the war against Shi Long Kingdom back then was enormous. With the consideration of Long Qian Xing’s strength, the chance of winning was smaller.
In this case, they choose to surrender and made sure that they could get some ‘benefit’ for their army.
All in all, it was good.
“We’re going back?” Wei Mu Bai asked.
“We’re going through a different route and regrouped with Great General Wei. If they hadn’t dealt with General Huang, we’ll have to help them deal with them first,” Long Qian Xing
replied.
General Huang and the soldiers from Fan Yi Kingdom would definitely fight to their bitter
end.
Their situation was different from the situation of General Yang and the other two here, so it was unlikely for them to give up without resistance.
“Alright.”
“Rest for tonight. Tomorrow will be another long journey,” Long Qian Xing said.
“Yes!”
After talking with Wei Mu Bai, Long Qian Xing went to his tent and found Nan Hua, who was playing with the campfire in front of her.
“Are you bored, Hua’er?” Long Qian Xing asked helplessly.
Nan Hua raised her head and looked in Long Qian Xing’s direction. She nodded and asked,
“The negotiation is done?”
“Yes, we’ll go back tomorrow to the next route.”
Nan Hua nodded and continued to mess around with the campfire in front of her. There was nothing for her to do here but to accompany Long Qian Xing. If Nan Hua had to say, she
actually felt a bit bored.
But at the same time, she also knew that the situation of winning without the need to fight
was actually the best.
“Come inside, it’s cold outside.”
“Yes,”
Long Qian Xing smiled and pulled Nan Hua into his embrace. “I’ll spend more time with you
next time, alright?”
Nan Hua blinked her eyes and hummed in a low voice. She patted Long Qian Xing’s hand. “You have your own things to do and I also have my own things to do. There are still enough time
for us to spend together afterwards.”
“Yes.” Long Qian Xing chuckled and rubbed Nan Hua’s head tenderly.
