I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

Horses are galloping across the endless grassland.

The warhorse of Solu, the leader of the Karen tribe, stopped in front of a tent.

The leaders of various tribes in Mobei gathered in this tent.

At this moment, they were still discussing the war against the Yan army.

After the defeat in Anding County yesterday, they were all very unconvinced, but little did they know that several of the tribes had secretly contacted Jiangzuo, saying they wanted to negotiate.

Solu's arrival interrupted the meeting.

Haixi Di Zhen was quite displeased and asked: "Sulu, did you betray us?"

Suolu sneered and said, "How ridiculous! I, Suolu, have no grudges against you, so why would I betray you?"

"You must have accepted benefits from the Yan people, otherwise how could you get so many supplies?"

Di Zhen asked sternly.

Suo Lu said expressionlessly: "I am too lazy to explain to you. I came here today to tell you something. I believe some of you already know that Jiang Zuo from Anding County is interested in peace talks with you. This afternoon, he will lead a delegation of more than ten people to negotiate with our Mobei tribes."

"Who agreed to the peace talks? Is Jiangzuo qualified to negotiate with us Mobei people?"

One of the leaders shouted rather unconvinced.

"Do you want to continue fighting with Jiang Zuo?"

Solu asked back.

After asking this, everyone present suddenly fell silent.

Of course not.

The weapons in Anding County are a complete nightmare for the people in Mobei.

When I think about it now, that deafening sound is almost still echoing in my ears.

At this moment, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Igna, the leader of this tribal alliance.

Although Igna was a battle-hardened Khan, he had never seen a city defense as terrible as that of Anding County.

"Since you don't want to fight, then we have no choice but to negotiate!" Solu persuaded, "Don't you want to survive this winter?"

The remaining supplies of the tribes in Mobei are not enough to survive this cold winter, so they have to risk going south many times.

Unexpectedly, these two attacks by the tribal alliance were completely defeated by the Yan army, resulting in huge casualties.

Now it has made the situation even worse.

"Jiang Zuo really wants to negotiate, is this a trick of the Yan people?"

Igna was a little hesitant, but in fact, in his heart, he was more in favor of peace talks.

If he could survive this winter, he would definitely lead the men of his tribe south again to avenge his previous humiliation.

"Jiang Zuo is sincere, and I think he wants to negotiate, otherwise he wouldn't let me go back."

Solu assured.

At this time, a soldier came forward and said, "My Lords, the envoys from Yan want to see you."

"The Yan people's delegation? Jiang Zuo came in person."

Solu said this and led everyone out of the tent.

At a glance, there were only about twenty people following Jiang Zuo, and they were afraid that they had arrived at the base camp of the Mobei tribe.

"My dear Khans, how are you?"

Jiang Zuo jumped off his horse, looking quite calm.

"You Yan thief, you have caused the death of tens of thousands of good men in Mobei, and now you dare to come here alone to negotiate? You are courting death!"

Di Zhen said angrily.

"Don't be angry."

Jiang Zuo was quite calm.

"If you kill my Mobei men, you will never be able to negotiate with us."

Di Zhen was not polite at all.

Jiang Zuo sneered, "You Mobei people have invaded Dayan for so many years. How many Yan soldiers have you killed? How many civilians have you killed? How much gold and silver have you robbed? If I were to list your crimes in detail, I'm afraid it would take three days and three nights to finish."

"Humph!"

The group of Mobei tribal leaders were very disdainful and didn't want to pay any attention to Jiang Zuo at all.

At this time, the Great Khan Igena came forward, his face solemn, and asked: "Are you here to negotiate this time?"

"Of course. I have prepared a large amount of supplies. As long as you have other things to exchange, I guarantee that there will be enough food and salt." Jiang Zuo promised.

"Even if I have to go back to the wilderness to herd sheep, I will never accept even a little charity from you, a thief!"

Di Zhen, the leader of the western part of the sea, swore solemnly that in his heart he looked down upon these Yan people.

"You only have so few people with you. Aren't you afraid of being captured by us?"

Ignat stared at the expression on Jiang Zuo's face.

This man showed no fear and was obviously quite courageous.

Jiang Zuo chuckled and said, "When two armies are fighting, envoys should not be killed. Don't you understand this rule?"

"There's no need to follow the rules with you Yan people!"

Someone shouted.

"I won't waste my time talking to you. Do you want to talk or not? If you refuse, then we will continue to meet on the battlefield. At that time, we can only hope that you can survive this cold winter."

Jiang Zuo doesn’t care.

"I am in favor of peace talks. What do you think?"

Igna said that although he was the leader of the alliance, he was not able to decide this matter.

Many people looked surprised and slightly dissatisfied with Igna's decision.

"If you want us to negotiate, then solve the problem the Mobei way."

Di Zhen suddenly suggested.

"What Mobei way?"

Jiang Zuo doesn’t understand.

Di Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "One-on-one duel. If you win, I will let you go."

Jiang Zuo asked, "Bare-handed or with weapons?"

"Sir, don't agree to them!"

Yang Feng hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.

"It's all right. Each side will send one person out."

Di Zhen said again.

"Okay, I'll do it myself."

Jiang Zuo sorted out his clothes.

"You? Haha..."

Di Zhen laughed loudly and said disdainfully: "You pale-faced scholar, can you really do it? We Mobei people will not pity you. If you get killed or injured, don't blame us Mobei men for not holding back."

"My lord, absolutely not!"

Yang Feng hurriedly stopped him again.

In his opinion, Jiang Zuo had already taken a huge risk by coming to the grassland in person to negotiate with this group of northern barbarians. Now he had to duel with the barbarians. Wasn't this putting himself in danger?

"My lord, think twice!"

The other soldiers also gave advice.

"Are you scared? If you are, go back!"

Di Zhen taunted again.

"it's okay no problem."

Jiang Zuo was quite stubborn. He tightened his belt and prepared to go into battle.

"grown ups!"

Yang Feng was very worried.

"Okay, you have guts, Anu, come out!"

Di Zhen turned around and called out.

A moment later, a burly man with a very rough appearance and a strong build came in front of Jiang Zuo.

Even though Jiang Zuo was already tall enough, this man was almost a head taller than Jiang Zuo.

"Anu, teach those Yan people a lesson!"

Di Zhen ordered.

That Anu had a ferocious look on his face, like a tiger, as if he wanted to eat Jiang Zuo.

"Let's just use weapons."

Jiang Zuo suggested.

If they really had to fight with bare hands, Jiang Zuo's chances of winning would be extremely low.

"It doesn't matter!"

Anu glared at Jiang Zuo fiercely.

"My lord, let's just forget it!"

Yang Feng stepped forward to persuade again.

In the eyes of these subordinates, the sturdy man in front of them is definitely a top warrior among the Mobei tribes, and Jiang Zuo is likely to lose badly.

All the people in the Anding Army behind Jiang Zuo had worries written all over their faces...
