Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

At dawn.

Cao Mengyi thrust his sword into the grass. His armor was covered with scars, and around him lay many corpses of the Hu people.

"General Crutcher, you and I have been fighting for so long and so many of our brothers have died. How about we sign a gentleman's agreement?"

After taking a breath, Cao Mengyi looked at Kruch in front of him.

Kruchi's body was also covered with scars. He covered his injured left arm and said in a deep voice: "Gentleman's agreement? Didn't you Han people come to the grassland this time just to annihilate us?"

"Want to make peace? That's wishful thinking!" Krutch raised his body and grasped the hilt of the knife on the ground again.

"General Kruchi! If you insist on fighting, my Yinglong Army will fight to the death."

"But this is meaningless. Judging from the previous battles, we are evenly matched."

"Even if there is a winner in the end, both you and I will be seriously injured, to put it bluntly."

"If I win, all the people of you Hu people will be captives and slaves, and if you win, the other tribes on the grassland will not let go of this opportunity."

Cao Mengyi's words made Kruchi fall into deep thought. He turned his head and looked at the army behind him.

Several consecutive battles have caused him to lose nearly half of his troops, and the Luge tribe is eyeing the grassland covetously.

If he continued to fight, it would be bad for the entire tribe. Thinking of this, he did feel a little shaken.

Cao Mengyi also thought about not fighting anymore. Although the situation was slightly advantageous for him, he knew that the Hu people still had some soldiers left.

Now that Ying Xuanze has not been eliminated yet, he must retain the vitality of the Yinglong Army.

The Hu people may not be destroyed, but Ying Xuanze must die!

Just when Krutch was at a loss, a Hu cavalryman came on horseback. The man got off the horse and ran to Krutch and whispered something in his ear.

Kruch's pupils shrank slightly as he listened to what the soldier said. After the soldier rode away on his horse, he looked at Cao Mengyi.

"General Cao, we agree to the peace request, but my king has some conditions."

Cao Mengyi felt relieved when he heard this. Even the leader of the Hu people wanted to ask for peace, so the war was almost over.

He laughed loudly and said, "Okay! What conditions do you want? As long as I can meet them, I will definitely agree to them!"

"Winter is coming, and we Hu people only want food. In exchange, we can give you some horses, cattle and sheep."

"Isn't this a fair condition? No one of us will suffer any loss, and we can also stop the war."

"But don't try to be clever. Our people are very comfortable on the grassland. If we really start a fight, no one will have an easy time!"

After hearing the conditions stated by Kruch, Cao Mengyi readily agreed.

He took cattle, sheep and war horses, which in the eyes of outsiders were the spoils of war obtained by their Yinglong Army when they conquered the Hu people.

As for food, they collected a lot from Wancheng, which was enough for the Hu people to eat for a long time.

The two parties hit it off and agreed to complete the transaction here five days later, with one person handing over grain and the other handing over cattle, sheep and horses.

After reaching an agreement, Kruch ordered his men to carry away the bodies of the dead soldiers, while Cao Mengyi asked his subordinates to register the information of the dead soldiers.

After an unknown number of hours, the team responsible for searching for Huang Yan arrived.

Upon seeing this, Cao Mengyi immediately rode forward on his horse. He could hear Huang Yan's wailing from a hundred meters away.

"Ouch, it hurts! Be gentle! Be gentle!"

Cao Mengyi strode forward and saw Huang Yan being carried down with a look of shock on his face. He quickly asked, "Sir, what happened to you? What? Was he shot by an arrow?"

He then shouted at the lieutenants, "How are you looking at the young master? Fortunately, he was only wounded by an arrow. If anything had happened, what would be the point of keeping your lives?"

Huang Yan quickly said, "No, no, no! It's not their fault, stop scolding them."

Huang Yan's face was filled with anger. He clenched his fists and shouted, "It was Ying Xuanze! He shot me with an arrow! He also killed all my guards!"

"Ying Xuanze!?" Cao Mengyi was shocked. "It's him? How could he suddenly ambush you?"

"How the hell should I know? This damned thing, he killed my people and said with a smile on his face that he mistook them for the Hu soldiers."

"Bah! This bastard! When I catch him alive, I will cut off his flesh piece by piece and feed it to the dogs!"

Cao Mengyi's face was solemn. He was thinking about one thing, that is, why did Ying Xuanze let the young master come back alone?

Huang Yan became even angrier when he saw Cao Mengyi didn't say anything. He pointed at Cao Mengyi and shouted angrily, "Brother Cao! What are you daydreaming about?"

"Hurry up and lead the army to find Ying Xuanze! I don't want any military merits anymore. I just want Ying Xuanze to die! Do you understand? I just want him to die!!"

Cao Mengyi comforted him, "Sir, don't be angry. It's not good for your wound."

"Your leg needs to be treated quickly. Fortunately, the army has some medicine. As for killing Ying Xuanze, we need to think about it later."

"What's the use of long-term planning? Let's go find him now!" Huang Yan got so excited that he moved his leg again. The pain almost made him faint.

"Okay, okay! Let's deal with the legs first! Let's deal with the legs first! Quickly! I don't want to become a cripple in the future!"

Cao Mengyi immediately asked someone to call the military doctor. Although the doctor did not bring many tools, it was more than enough to treat the arrow wound.

After Huang Yan was carried away, Cao Mengyi walked to a quiet place alone and sat on the grass to think.

What on earth does Ying Xuanze want to do? Why has he not shown up yet?

Cao Mengyi thought for a long time, and suddenly his body twitched violently and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Ying Xuanze wanted them to fight the Hu people until both sides suffered losses, and then he would reap the benefits!

"No wonder they let you back. Even if they don't wait until both sides are defeated, they can still force you to seek revenge."

"What a sinister kid! I don't know why Ying Tianqian gave birth to such a thing!"

Cao Mengyi's eyes were full of murderous intent as a soldier from the Yinglong Army ran over.

"General, the young master's arrow wound has been treated. What should we do next?"

Cao Mengyi frowned and asked, "Have the Hu people sent any troops to keep an eye on us?"

The soldier nodded and said, "Yes, our people spotted them, but they just watched from a distance."

Cao Mengyi's face was solemn. It seemed that the Hu people did not intend for them to leave here. However, since they had made an agreement, they would be safe for the time being before completing the transaction.

So he planned to camp here for a few days. First, he wanted to wait for the team transporting food to arrive here, and second, he wanted to send some scouts to look for Ying Xuanze's whereabouts.

In this way, four days passed by.

The scouts sent out could not find any trace of Ying Xuanze and the Huben Army. What was even more strange was that the team transporting food had not arrived yet.
