Chapter 800: No
The third prince nodded when he heard Song Ning's words, and said, "The price is not a problem, but how do I know if your country will suddenly use firearms against our army when the two armies are accepting prisoners on the day of the transaction?"
Song Ning said: "Third Prince, please rest assured that our army is short of food now. If we suddenly use firearms, wouldn't we blow up cattle, sheep, war horses? Our army will not do this to hurt the enemy one thousand and self-damage eight hundred things."
The third prince snorted coldly and said, "Messenger, I haven't visited your granary. How does this prince know if you are short of food? Who knows if your country is using this as an excuse to wipe out our grassland army?" ? Does your country think this king is stupid?"
Song Ning was a little surprised when he heard the words of the third prince. It seems that this silly prince is not so easy to fool, so Song Ning coughed and continued, "Does the third prince have any good ideas?"
The third prince said, "After three days, the captives and cattle and sheep will be exchanged. The armies of both sides are not allowed to move. Only 500 people are allowed to exchange captive cattle and sheep at the junction of twenty-five miles. The two sides must sign a contract. For five days, neither side is allowed to use force."
Song Ning smiled and said: "Okay! The third prince is really thoughtful, just like what the third prince said, no one is allowed to use force during the five-day exchange of captive cattle and sheep!"
The third prince said: "Since this is the case, the envoy should also inform the marshal of your country to make preparations early."
Song Ning nodded and said, "Song, please leave."
Both sides of the negotiation were satisfied.
Su Zhong got his wish and successfully squeezed oil and water from this group of captives who couldn't even stand up, saving himself the trouble of digging a hole.
And the third prince felt that he could recover the loss of the army and save his own life, so he was even happier.
The fourth prince came in again after Song Ning left, looked at the third prince and asked, "How is the third brother?"
The third prince asked: "Are there enough cattle and sheep in our army?"
The fourth prince said, "These days, the Khan has never been harsh on our grain and grass. There is no shortage of cattle and sheep, and there is even fine salt."
The third prince nodded and said, "That's very good, go and count the exact number of cattle and sheep immediately."
The fourth prince looked at the third prince and said, "Could it be that the third brother has reached an agreement with the envoy from Zhou Guolai?"
The third prince laughed and said: "If there is no accident in the exchange of captives and cattle and sheep after three days, we can both keep our heads."
The fourth prince immediately flattered him when he heard this; "Third brother is wise!"
The third prince said: "Go and choose five hundred soldiers, but you can't tell them the truth, otherwise there will be dissension between us and the soldiers, we must tell them like this..."
...
three days later
The junction of the grassland and Zhou's army
Although the two sides only sent 500 people, it can be said to be mighty.
A large number of cattle and sheep are driving on the grassland side, and Zhou Guo's side is even more incredible, with a ox cart.
The 500 people on the grassland side were particularly awe-inspiring.
The three princes told them all yesterday that they negotiated with the people of the state of Chu and vowed to return the captured people of our army. They wanted to see the people alive and their dead bodies. They would never allow any grassland people to be trampled by the state of Zhou!
Originally, because of the roar of firearms like thunder, the warriors of the three tribes were shocked. Some people who didn't know it almost thought it was the wrath of the sky.
It can be said that the last time they fought against Zhou Guo, it directly brought the morale of the grassland army to the bottom.
Most of the prairie troops who fought against Zhou Guo had seen firearms for the first time. The lethality of firearms for the prairie troops who had seen firearms for the first time was second. The most important thing was not the firearms themselves, but the quality of the firearms. The momentum, the explosive sound like thunder, is especially terrifying.
Because such a sound of rolling thunder can instantly disintegrate the will of the prairie people, causing them to panic.
But now, because of the impassioned words of the third prince, the morale of the grassland army has been inexplicably revived!
That's right, the third prince would rather pay such a high price and promise that the soldiers will see people alive and dead, and absolutely not allow any captive in their grassland to be trampled by Zhou Guo.
To follow such a leader to do things is to be willing to die!
And Zhou Guo didn't have such rich emotions in the grassland. They were just happy from the bottom of their hearts. After pretending to be a sick cat for several months, they finally felt proud this time!
When the prairie people came closer and saw that the people of Chu State used bullock carts to pull the captives, they couldn't help feeling that Zhou Guo's treatment was really good, and the captives still had bullock carts to sit in.
But when they saw the captives on the bullock cart who were almost wrapped into mummies, their eyes were not so beautiful, but fortunately, these captives were all alive.
The Third Highness is really merciful, even though they have become like this, the Third Highness still persists and let them return to the embrace of the grassland.
But soon the 500 people in the grassland couldn't laugh anymore, because when the Zhou people exchanged captives, cattle, sheep and horses, they told them that the "car" was a friendship gift from Zhou Guoren and they didn't take any money, but they wanted the cattle that pulled the cart. Take it back.
At this moment, the prairie people looked at the Zhou people who were driving their cattle, sheep and horses back, wanting to cry without tears.
In other words, these cars full of prisoners, do they need 500 people to pull them back?
In the pass
Su Zhong stood on the top of the city tower and looked at the cattle, sheep and horses that were being driven in. He couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He just said, with Su Zhong's decades of fighting career, he can definitely get rid of these nearly disabled prisoners. Squeeze out a lot of oil and water!
Look at the cows, sheep, and war horses, how cute they are!
Grassland camp
Looking at the cart being pulled into the camp, the third prince had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurried over. When he saw the prisoners wrapped in gauze like mummies in the cart, his mind suddenly went blank. Blank: "No!"
The third prince yelled, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground, hot tears flowed out of his eyes involuntarily and fell on the ground.
It's over, it's over!
Zhou Guo turned out to be teasing him!
Thinking of this, the eldest prince gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn it's Zhou Guo! This prince will never end with you!"
On the bullock cart, a prisoner who was closer to the third prince said, "Third Highness, don't be sad for me. The first priority is to reorganize the army and defeat the state of Zhou."
The third prince couldn't cry at this time, but he really wanted to say something, I am so sad, it is not because of you, please don't be sentimental, I just simply feel that I will not live long...
