Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 69: The Lord of the City who lost money and avoided disaster

The Mongolian envoy's answer made the city lord of Baligansa overjoyed.If you give some money, you can survive, and if you give some money, you can save your city. This is the best thing.

With only this small amount of troops, he would be willing to fight the Mongols. There is no big problem in losing money and avoiding disasters.

As long as he didn't ask for money too much, he could grit his teeth and discuss it with the nobles in the city, and he should be able to come up with it.

"Messenger, I don't want to fight with your army. When you come here, I will treat you like friends. How much money and military rations do you want?" The city lord of Baligansa showed a smile, and then spoke very carefully. asked.

The Mongolian envoys on the opposite side also breathed a sigh of relief. Now in their profession of envoys, they really have their heads in their belts.

They Mongolians are called steppe barbarians by the Central Plains people, the Jin people, the Xixia people, and the Khitan people.

But the Mongols still have two armies at war. What about this tradition of not killing them?

But these barbarians from the west don't have this etiquette at all, and their envoys have been killed countless times.

"My general said that we will not embarrass your city. You can give us as much money and food as you can afford, and we will not take more." The Mongolian envoy said.

The negotiation this time was relatively easy, because no specific number was set by Lord Ogedai or the commander.

So just let them watch and give it. As long as it is not too shabby, the Mongolian army can accept it.

Anyway, the scope of their robbery this time is a bit wide, as long as they can complete the task, this time they cast a wide net.

"You want as much as we can give you, right? There's no exact amount?" Hearing this, the city lord of Barigansa asked doubtfully.

To be honest, this condition is indeed quite generous in his opinion, but it is also very difficult to handle. If the amount given is less and the group of Mongolians on the other side are not satisfied, then things will be bad.

"Yes, we don't want to embarrass you. As long as we give you some military rations and money, we will leave immediately and will never harm anyone in your city." The Mongolian envoy said.

It seems that things can be discussed this time, and I will not be in danger of my life. I am really blessed by eternal life!

The city lord of Barigansa nodded upon hearing this.Then he spoke to the Mongolian envoy. :
"My Lord Envoy, please wait a moment. I will discuss it with the nobles in the city. I won't keep you waiting for too long. I will hand over the things to you tonight at the latest."

"So you agreed to our conditions, right?" the Mongolian envoy asked.

"That's right, we don't want war. War will kill people. If a man dies, his wife, his son, and his daughter will starve, so I agree to your conditions." The city lord of Barigansa said. .

The Mongolian envoy nodded with great satisfaction, made a Mongolian etiquette to the Lord of Barigansa, and then returned to the Mongolian army under the city in a hanging basket.

This time, I have successfully completed the task without losing it to my head. I am really blessed by the eternal God!

Several other non-staple food items in Hualizimo also breathed a sigh of relief.He returned to the Mongolian army happily.

"How about it? Will their city lord agree to our request?" As soon as they arrived at the city, the Mongolian captain asked eagerly. "Lord Captain, the other party agreed very happily. As long as we do not attack the city, they promised to send money and food supplies." The Mongolian envoy said.

"Very good, when will the things be ready for us?" The captain nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.

"Lord Centurion, the other city lord said that he would discuss it with the nobles in the city and then make preparations. He will hand over the things to us tonight." The Mongolian envoy said.

"Well! Find a shady place in the woods, let the whole army dismount and rest, but don't take off their armor and sabers. Be prepared to fight anytime and anywhere. Don't let your guard down until we get the things and retreat immediately at night." The Mongolian commander ordered.

The task on my side is relatively easy to complete. It is very good to get things without fighting. I hope he won't fight too little. He must have at least two carts of gold and silver. As for the physical objects, just give them to him. , anyway, they are not too short of this.

At this time, the city lord of Barigansa summoned all the nobles to tell them the purpose of the Mongolian envoy.I told everyone and expressed my opinions and views.

"Everyone listen, if the money is gone, we can make more money. If the food is gone, we can farm again, raise cattle and sheep, and these will come back. But if our lives are gone, and the land is gone, then everything will be lost." there is none left.

The Mongols did not ask for our land this time, but they asked us for some food, gold and silver. As long as we give them these, they will leave and promise not to harm us. "

"Lord City Lord, are they lying to us? As long as we open the city gate, they will take the opportunity to come in." A noble asked.

"Probably not. I think the envoy was quite sincere, and he didn't observe the nearby city defenses when he was talking to me. They probably don't want to fight." The city lord of Barigansa said.

"In this case, each of us will take half of our property and prepare some food to give to the Mongols to see if they leave. If they don't leave, we can only pray to God to bless us and win. "A nobleman said.

"I agree, it is better to give half of your property than to lose your life."

"I agree."

Soon, most of the nobles in the city agreed to the Mongols' request, and ordinary civilians also agreed to this request. Everyone took out their property and put half of it into the carriage.

After that, a large amount of food was prepared, and at night, a dozen carriages were pushed in front of the Mongols.

There were five large carts of gold, silver and jewelry, and the remaining dozen carts were filled with all kinds of fruits, grains and meat.

The Mongolian captain looked at the treasures in front of him and was a little speechless. This seemed to be a lot more than he had expected!

The people of this Delhi Sultanate are really very rich!

After the Mongolian captain got the things, he nodded with great satisfaction, ordered his men to pull away the items in more than a dozen carts, and then led his thousand-man cavalry team towards the headquarters of Zhang Yong, Wo Kuotai and others. past.

"Lord City Lord, there don't seem to be many of them." Looking at the leaving Mongolians and the reeds tied to their horses' tails, a noble said.

"Shut up! Don't you know? The Mongols are very ferocious and capable of fighting. One Mongolian can equal ten of our ordinary soldiers, so do you know that this is 1 people?" the city lord said very dissatisfied. .
