Chapter 723 This kid must be after your looks!
Hearing Haila Sunazha's words, Jia Daoshi shook his head and laughed, "To wipe them all out? Your Highness is probably overthinking it. I have no such idea."
Haila Sunazha was confused by Jia Daoshi's words.
If you don't want to capture them all, and you don't want to negotiate, then what's the point of bringing them here?
"What are your thoughts, Jatis? Please speak plainly!" Hela Sunaza realized that she couldn't see through the man in front of her at all.
Jia Daoshi stated directly, "No matter what conditions you offer, I, the commander, will never release the prisoners."
Hailasunazha: "..."
Xiao Reba: "..."
Elders: "..."
Don't know how to put it?
Xiao Reba's heart sank to the bottom of the abyss. When she came here, she had thought of many possible outcomes, but this was the one she feared the most!
As it turned out, what I feared most came true; the other party really wouldn't release them!
"If you're unwilling to release them, then why did you call us here to negotiate? You... you're going too far!" In her desperation, Xiao Reba couldn't help but speak up.
“That’s right! You hypocrite, still saying it wasn’t to catch them all in one fell swoop!” An elder also realized he had been tricked.
As soon as he finished speaking, the previously harmonious atmosphere instantly became tense and hostile.
Helasu Naza was already ready to give a signal, indicating that the cavalry nearby could come to her aid at any time.
Once they venture deep into the grasslands, no one can catch them.
Faced with this situation, Jia Daoshi simply smiled and didn't care at all.
"Your Highness, I have a question. Why did you gather an army of 500,000 to attack the Cliff City?"
When Jia Dao asked this question at this moment, Haila Sunazha was taken aback.
They suffered a complete defeat in the Battle of Cliff City. What's the point of asking these questions now?
However, after hesitating for a moment, Hailasunaza said, "Every winter, we often experience snowstorms on our grasslands. Although we prepare in advance every year, we still suffer heavy losses after the snowstorms."
"The city of Juebi is located in Youzhou Prefecture, but it is not troubled by such things. The entire Youzhou Prefecture is bordered by the grasslands to the north, the Baiyue region to the south, and the Central Plains to the east. It is a treasure land. It is your people, the Dajing people, who do not know how to cherish it. Even if we take it, so what?"
Jia Daoshi shook his head: "What you said is not right. According to your interpretation, it seems that the reason for the southward march was to take over Youzhou County."
"Ok?"
Haila Sunazha and Xiao Reba's group were full of question marks. Wasn't their goal to take over Youzhou County?
What's wrong with it?
Xiao Reba said crisply, "Hey! You say our princess is wrong, then tell me why we're marching south with our troops?"
Jia Daoshi looked at Xiao Reba and said, "You gathered an army of 500,000 to attack Juebi City in order to escape the winter's ice and snow storms, to live a stable and prosperous life, and to stop wandering around!"
Xiao Reba: "..."
Not only Xiao Dilraba, but even Haila Sunazha couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Because Jia Daoshi was not wrong.
In the past, the Kushan Empire frequently launched attacks on the surrounding Longwu, Dajing, and Daqing.
Back then, they were only fighting for resources, such as food, salt, iron, and women.
But this time it's different; they're after this piece of land.
It is so that we can live a stable and prosperous life like the people of the Central Plains!
Jia Daoshi's voice continued to ring in their ears: "Now, I'm giving you a chance to realize your dreams."
Realize your dream?
Hearing this, Hela Sunazha was stunned again.
"If Jatis is trying to humiliate us, then we'll have to decline!"
After taking a deep breath, Helasu Nazha's voice gradually turned cold.
Jia Daoshi remained unmoved: "Why is Your Highness in such a hurry?"
"Let me finish speaking before making a decision."
"The princess led her people to learn the culture of the Central Plains, so that the people on the grasslands could eat, dress, live, and travel like the people of the Central Plains. They did develop some habits, and she even found a special teacher to teach the people the language of the Central Plains."
“If you hadn’t met me this time, you might have already started preparing to settle down in your new home.”
"Since that's the case, I, the chief, will do you a favor and allow your entire tribe to relocate to Youzhou County. What do you say?"
Hailasunazha: "..."
Xiao Reba: "..."
Elders: "..."
They couldn't believe that Jia Daoshi would actually agree to let them settle in Youzhou County!
Is this kid crazy?
Upon hearing this, the cavalrymen standing a short distance away erupted in uproar!
"Agree to let us live in his Youzhou Prefecture? Are you kidding me?"
"Could it be that the Eternal Heaven has manifested its power?"
"No! I think there's a conspiracy here. If we're on the grasslands, they definitely won't be able to catch us. But once we reach Youzhou County, it'll be like that... that... that... that that... that that..."
"Close the door and beat the dog!"
"Yes! Close the door and beat the dog!"
"You're talking nonsense! We're not dogs!"
"..."
For a moment, the entire scene was filled with a buzzing of discussion.
At the same time, Hela Sunazha also frowned slightly.
After a long pause, Hailasunaza slowly said, "There's a saying in your Central Plains: 'No reward without merit, and greed for small gains leads to great losses!' Surely Jatis didn't invite us to live in Youzhou County without any conditions?"
Haila Shuna knew that the tribe was now desperate and had nowhere to hide, so she decided to have a good talk with Jia Daoshi in front of her.
Jia Daoshi smiled faintly and then said, "Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch."
"Your tribe has moved to Youzhou County, so you must agree to a few things for me."
"First, the Queen and this princess must stay and serve me!"
Hera Su Nazha and Xiao Reba's delicate bodies trembled!
Both women looked at Jia Daoshi with disbelief.
What is this guy trying to do?
"Jatis, don't joke like that!" Hela Sunaza said coldly.
Jia Daoshi shook his head: "I'm not joking, my men know that."
"You and Xiao Reba must remain at the residence of this official as hostages."
Upon hearing Jia Daoshi's words, the first to react were the elderly elders:
"No! The Princess is the pillar of our clan's spirit; she cannot be taken hostage!"
"Your Highness, you mustn't nod! This must be a trap!"
"Your Highness, this boy must be after your beauty!"
"..."
Helasu Naza is truly very important to the wolf tribe.
Without her leadership, the wolf tribe would probably fall apart immediately!
However, Helasu Nazha did not respond to the requests of the elders behind her.
What she cares about now is how to get through this difficult time!
Jia Daoshi's suggestion is indeed 50% feasible.
After a long silence, Helasuna spoke again: "Jatis, is there anything else you require?"
