Chapter 477 Negotiations
"Marson, it is difficult to count the casualties of the enemy at present." Edron came over and reported to Ye Junwen, "There are about 30,000 corpses here, but I don't know how many people were washed away by the water, nor how many were alive."
"Marcelo, I'll give you a task." Ye Junwen said.
"Please give me the order." Marcelo said on the side of the house kneeling on one knee.
"Bring 10,000 cavalry troops and chase the remaining enemy troops down the river. If you find an enemy general, bring them back and you won't need other ordinary soldiers." Ye Junwen said.
"The last general will take the order." Marcelo nodded, and then immediately led the troops to set off.
"Others, search for fleeing enemies around here, and then clear the battlefield." Ye Junwen continued to order.
"yes."
Although I don’t know how many remaining enemies are, I guess this situation cannot be organized, and the rest is the final work.
At this time, the battle situation here was also spread through various channels. No one expected that the change of things would happen so quickly. Just a few days ago, the news they received was that the troops of the Segus Empire were chasing Gove's troops and running around. Unexpectedly, in two days, the situation completely reversed. Ye Junwen's troops had just joined the battlefield and directly repelled the troops of the Segus Empire, but they also used water attack strategies to completely destroy the enemy's troops.
The battle situation was completely reversed. The current situation of the Segus Empire's attack of 300,000 troops was completely lost. Although they did not think they were completely destroyed, the situation was really bad. The 300,000 troops were more than half of the total number of troops in the Segus Empire. If all the losses were lost, the Segus Empire would be really dangerous, not to mention that they were still attacked by the troops of the Massodra Empire.
When the news reached the territory of the Segus Empire, the empire became nervous in an instant. It sounded like it was over. After confirming the authenticity of the news, the emperor of the Segus Empire quickly negotiated with the Massodra Empire. They could not continue to fight with the two countries now, but the Saint Wilan Empire probably did not have such an easy truce. However, they probably knew the purpose of the Massodra Empire's attack on them. You are not just to maintain the balance between the three empires. The problem now is that our troops have been defeated. It is not the Saint Wilan Empire's troops, so you can't fight us any more.
Of course, the Massodra Empire was also thinking about this issue. They originally wanted to help the Saint Wilan Empire, but the unexpected turn of things turned so quickly that they didn't have time to react. Now that the war has just begun, they have only fought a few small offensive and defensive battles with the Segus Empire. What should I do now?
The ministers in the court also had various opinions, some said they would continue to fight, some said they would cease the war with the Segus Empire immediately, and some even felt that they should turn to fight the Saint Wayland Empire at this time, and all kinds of statements were made. This made Emperor Antosem quite a headache.
However, they soon received new news, that is, the army of more than 100,000 in the Saint Wilan Empire had arrived on the border between the two countries, as if they were building a defensive formation. After hearing this news, they also learned a lot of information. First of all, the Saint Wilan Empire could send more than 100,000 troops to the border between the two countries at this time, and there was absolutely no problem at home. In this way, the previous information should be correct. The 300,000 troops of the Saigus Empire should have been resolved, otherwise the enemy would not be able to send troops here at this time.
Secondly, the enemy's purpose was to guard against them. If the troops of more than 100,000 will not be able to defend against them for a while, and the purpose of guarding against them is very simple. It is probably the enemy who will also attack the territory of the Segus Empire. Thinking about it, now we know that all the troops of the Segus Empire have been destroyed, so the enemy will definitely take advantage of the situation to counterattack. After all, the southeastern border of the Segus Empire is empty, and the remaining troops of the enemy are fighting with their Massodra Empire. Who would have thought that it would be possible to reverse the situation so simply?
The current situation is really embarrassing for the Massodra Empire. The Segus Empire asked them to negotiate with them. If they agreed, they would not be able to do anything. It is not realistic to fight the Saint Wilan Empire. The enemy's army of more than 100,000 is ready, and they should not be able to gain any advantage. But if they don't negotiate with the Segus Empire, the enemy's troops will definitely not retreat. At this time, the Saint Wilan Empire's troops invade the Saint Wilan Empire. They are helping the Saint Wilan Empire's troops intercept the enemy, which sounds even more stupid.
Both sides of the Massodra Empire were very troubled. Antosem thought for a while and came up with a good idea. This good idea was the talks between the Three Kingdoms.
Yes, Antosem felt that the current situation did not benefit the Massordra Empire, and he did not want to serve the Saint Wilan Empire. Since the Segus Empire was going to talk to them, he thought about it and called the Saint Wilan Empire. Everyone sat down and talked. The best situation was to directly cease the war and maintain the status quo. Don't play the Saint Wilan Empire on the side of Saint Wilan, and they would expand infinitely. If the Saint Wilan Empire disagreed, the Massordra Empire could take the opportunity to threaten them to start a war or something.
So Antosem also told the idea to the envoy of the Segus Empire. After contacting the emperor, the other party expressed his acceptance. At this time, the Segus Empire no longer wanted to continue, otherwise its border would be invaded by the enemy. They could accept some compensation, give the Massodra Empire and the Saint Wilan Empire, and then make a truce, so they did not refuse this request. Of course, they also felt that their troops should still be alive. After all, a unit worth 300,000 was defeated, but it should be impossible to destroy them all. Maybe they were trapped in the enemy's territory. If the peace talks were successful, the troops would still have a chance to come back, and their losses would not be so great.
After the two countries had finished discussing, they quickly sent an envoy to find Bevli, the emperor of the Saint Wilan Empire, and expressed their desire to negotiate. Bevli was a puppet, so of course there was no way to make a decision, so they immediately contacted Ye Junwen and asked him what he meant.
At this time, two days had passed since Ye Junwen used water to defeat the army of the Segus Empire, and the subsequent work was all over. The remaining troops of the enemy were basically solved by Ye Junwen and others. A total of less than 20,000 prisoners were captured, and people had been sent back. The remaining people died and disappeared, and they could not find them.
Marcelo's troops chased along the river for a long time and captured some enemy generals. However, they did not find the enemy's Marshal Monterey. They were alive and did not know whether they were alive. However, it was a needle in a haystack when they looked for it at this time. There was no need for them to be killed. The enemy's troops were indeed destroyed, and it was almost impossible to organize them. Even if the other party was really alive, it would not be easy to escape back to the country.
Ye Junwen was already organizing troops to prepare for a direct counterattack, but at this time he received a contact and was preparing to hold a tripartite peace talks.
"Well... go back and tell them that if the other party is willing to hand over the entire Mesotoron area to us, I will agree to the peace talks." Ye Junwen thought for a while and said.
"The entire Mesotoron area?" The envoy sent by Bevli was stunned. Unexpectedly, Ye Junwen had such a big appetite. After thinking about it, he said: "Master Marshal, it is impossible for me to make the Segus Empire hand over the Mesotoron area. This is the only iron ore-producing area in the Segus Empire. If you hand it over to us, the enemy will lose the source of the iron ore. This... I don't think the enemy will hand over it."
The Mesotoron area that Ye Junwen wanted was the only iron ore source in the Segus Empire. In this era, iron ore was the foundation of military affairs. Weapons could not get the weapons and armor without iron ore. How could the Segus Empire fight in the future? Although the envoy also wanted to obtain the Mesotoron area, he also understood that the other party could not really hand it over to them.
"Just tell them that this is my only condition." Ye Junwen said, "If you tell them not to give, I will take it myself and stop us if you have the ability."
"this……"
"That's what I mean. You don't need to say anything more. Just tell Bevli what I mean." Ye Junwen said.
"Yes, Lord Marshal." The envoy nodded and left. Soon, Bevli also conveyed this meaning to the two empires that they would not stop the war unless they handed over the Mesotoron region.
Of course, the Segus Empire refused at the first time. How could it be possible to hand over the Mesotoron region? What is the difference between destroying the country? In their opinion, the Saint Wilan Empire had no intention of peace talks at all, and it was to destroy them. Since this was the case, they gave up the peace talks directly.
