Holy Sword Dynasty

Chapter 291 Proposal

The Battle of Arrant officially ended in early March of the third year of the Gregorian calendar. The envoys of the Southeast City and the Yongye Empire went to the Duchy of Shengjian and launched difficult armistice negotiations with the Duchy of Shengjian.

Both sides wanted to end the war in the Dorfos Alante region, but they thought that the other party was more eager, so they argued for three days.

"A big joke! Our Holy Sword Principality has now won an unprecedented victory on the battlefield! How dare you want us to withdraw from the province of Arrant? Did you wake up?" Yu Qian, who is in charge of negotiations, slapped the table and scolded.

"You! You are so presumptuous on behalf of the Principality of the Holy Sword! Don't think we don't know your background! You have already fought with the orcs in the Elf Forest! That's why I begged!" The representative of the Southeast City State was unwilling to show weakness and argued for reason.

Yu Qiansan laughed and laughed: "Since you are so sure, why did you come here thousands of miles away? Pack up and go back! See you on the battlefield!"

"It's humiliating! What a disgrace! Fortunately, you are still a literary minister! It's even more rude than the generals of our southeast city!" The negotiator of the southeast city state was so angry that he almost had a heart attack and pointed to Yuqian's breathless roar.

"That's why you lost! I found a group of women to lead the army! No wonder they were defeated by us!" Yu Qian said without showing weakness.

An old man next to him stood up and handed Yu Qian a cup of tea, and then said, "Okay, don't quarrel. We are negotiating, not scolding! How old are you? I have to say a few words about you. Although you were expelled from your home in the Yongye Empire, you can't help outsiders deal with your hometown!"

This person is the negotiator sent by the Yongye Empire, an acquaintance of the Yongye Yu family, a common friend of the two Yu brothers, and Zhao Ke, the teacher of Ye Shengwu, the prince of the Yongye Empire.

"Each is his master. You must know the rules of my Yu family." Yu Qian smiled and took over the tea handed over by Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke smiled and whispered, "I can make the decision. As long as you give the Yongye Empire a chance, the Yongye Empire will definitely give you an explanation!"

What opportunity? What's the explanation?" Yu Qiansyan narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth to ask.

Zhao Ke suppressed his voice lower and whispered, "The opportunity is that you, as the innerist, help the Yongye Empire get the secrets of the Holy Sword Duke such as the magic cannon. It is said that the Yu family will replace the Xia family as the most trusted family of the royal family. You are the head of the Yu family, the supreme prince, and His Majesty will eradicate Yu Qianmou for you!"

"Hahahaha!" Yu Qiansou laughed on his back, then put the teacup on the table, looked at the Southeast City State envoy who had not heard anything in the distance, and turned his eyes back to Zhao Ke.

Then he gently shook his head and pointed to Zhao Ke and said, "What you said proves that the Yu family is no longer important than me. This is the greatest reward for me. Thank you! However, since I have exceeded the value of the Yu family, the Yongye Yu family no longer exists! Now standing at the highest point in the world is the Holy Sword Jade Family!"

"Don't you think about your son and daughter-in-law in Yongyeyu's house?" Zhao Ke threatened with a gloomy face, "With no descendants, you are the only one in the Shengjianyu family!"

Yu Qiansui curled his lips and laughed again: "My name is Qiansui, and I am conceited. As early as three years ago, I secretly replaced my wife and children in the countryside outside the city of Yongyedu City with a stand-in carefully selected by His Majesty St. Rudolph. Do you understand now?"

"You!" Zhao Ke was so angry that his face turned pale. He pointed to Yu Qian with his trembling fingers and said hatefully, "The Principality of Shengjian will perish one day! Don't ask the Eternal Night Empire to let you go then!"

"It's easy to say!" Yuqian took a step forward and looked at Zhao Ke: "His Royal Highness Ye Shengwu, the eldest prince, is also a figure. I'm curious about how such a waste teacher like you taught him, but I also want to praise you at the end: your students are 100 times better than you!"

"Puff!" Zhao Ke was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood. He is also 70 or 80 years old. How could he withstand such humiliation and fainted on the spot.

Being so disturbed by Yu Qian, the Southeast City State and the Yongye Empire suddenly had no entangled mind and could only bargain on various negotiation details.

On the contrary, Yu Qiansuan scolded his opponent until he vomited blood and became a good story of the Duke of Shengjian. Later, a jingle spread among the people of the Yongye Empire: I would rather bow my head and bite a dog, and don't let Yu Qianmian move his mouth; walk back and forth in front of Death, don't force Violet to do it.

This incident has also become an episode of this negotiation and a joke for future generations.

After teaching Yu Qian's poisonous mouth, the representatives of the Southeast City State did not expect to get any advantage at all and took the lead in making concessions - giving up all the territory that had been lost.

Later, Zhao Ke, who recovered from his injury, also honestly told his conditions - the Yongye Empire compensated the Principality of Shengjian for 5 million gold coins to compensate for the losses suffered by the Duchy of Shengjian in the war.

However, the two sides did not reach a consensus. The Principality of the Holy Sword cleverly adopted a separate approach to launch the offensive at the negotiating table, which completely failed in the calculation of the joint advance and retreat of the Southeast City and the Eternal Night Empire.

According to Yu Qian's plan, first of all, the Duchy of Shengjian negotiated with the Yongye Empire alone and unexpectedly put forward the conditions for exemption from war compensation, making the southeast city state isolated from peace talks.

Then used the return of land as a bait to lure the Southeast city-states to suspect the Eternal Night Empire, which eventually made the representatives of the two sides give up the situation of joint advance and retreat, but were defeated by the Holy Sword Principality one by one.

Finally, all the areas controlled by the Southeast City State of Alant Province were ceded to the Holy Sword Principality as compensation for the brazen war of aggression launched by the southeast city state.

Although the reason for the cession made everyone laugh and cry: the war took place only in a limited few days on the territory of the Principality of Shengjian, and most of the rest took place in the territory of the Southeast City State.

The Yongye Empire had to compensate the Principality of Shengjian with 241 million gold coins as compensation. To this extent, it was the result of repeated bargaining between the two sides, and it also fully proved part of Zhao Ke's working ability.

The Northern Holy Empire was the most wronged. Their expeditionary army did nothing and was sent to the front line by the great prince as cannon fodder at the beginning of the war, and then annihilated by the army of the Holy Sword Duchy. No soldier of the Northern Holy Empire participated in the long late battle of Arante. Even so, the Northern Holy Empire was in order to pacify At the end of the war, he still bravely compensated the Principality of the Holy Sword for 4 million gold coins.

On March 17, the first war against the Holy Sword Duchy ended, and the Yongye Empire was defeated and peaceful with the Southeast City State and the Northern Holy Empire, and the anti-Romai alliance against the Holy Sword Duchy also collapsed.
