Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 279 Another Transaction

"Song Yuan, stop shouting here. The bodies are piled up down there. I don't believe it. Do you dare to take action and have someone pull those bodies back?"

Facing Song Yuan's threat, the high priest responded immediately, and while speaking, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

However, Song Yuan sneered, and was full of disdain for such a statement.

"High Priest, what can you do by shouting here? You say I don't dare, then let me ask you, do you dare to send someone to retrieve this body?"

"Anyway, I'm putting this out there today. If you don't choose to trade, then at worst we'll just remain deadlocked here. I want to see how long you can hold out!"

"This place is only about a hundred miles away from Mohai City. I have plenty of food and supplies here, and I can definitely support you until the end!"

"And I'm not afraid of you knowing. I've already sent a message to Zhenbei City!"

"If you continue to persist, it won't be long before the army from Zhenbei City arrives. I think you should know better than me what the outcome will be!"

"High Priest, please give this some thought. Do you want to offer 2000 war horses to settle this matter, or should we continue the stalemate until the end?"

As soon as Song Yuan said this, the male protagonist's face suddenly showed a gloomy look.

He naturally knew that if he continued to drag it on as Song Yuan said, it would be of absolutely no use to him!

Even if the army from Zhenbei City arrived, all of his men might be killed here.

The current situation is quite unfavorable for the barbarians and must not be dragged on any longer, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"High Priest, think about this carefully. If the Northern Zhen Army took this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the main camp, how much damage would you suffer?"

"Song Yuan, stop talking nonsense here. Who do you think you are? Just based on your words, do you think that Wei guy would risk his life and go to the heart of the border?"

"Besides, we have countless strong men in our camp, with tens of thousands of people stationed there. In this situation, even if you lead a surprise attack, what can you do?"

Faced with Song Yuan's threat, the high priest was filled with resentment and immediately began to argue, hoping to expose the other party's lies.

However, the high priest did not expect that Song Yuan's next sentence would make his face change suddenly.

"Who said General Wei was targeting your people? In my opinion, we can just take advantage of your weakness, send out a small group of cavalry, and burn all your food and supplies. Then I'll see how you'll handle it!"

"you……"

The high priest shuddered, his face full of despair. Now, the biggest condition restricting the ants is food and fodder.

The ant population is countless, and if necessary, they can even call on troops from the tribe.

However, due to the limitation of food and grass, they were unable to maintain a state of complete victory.

If the enemy were to come around and burn all the food supplies, the ants might not even be able to survive the winter due to the lack of logistics!

In this case, what capital do I have to continue delaying time with the other party?

Thinking of this, the high priest's face revealed a look of despair, and he finally gritted his teeth.

"Please stay here for a while, I will go back and discuss it!"

Although he was unwilling in his heart, facing the reality, the high priest finally chose to give up his original insistence. After all, everything was for the overall situation.

In the end, the high priest and Tublai Khan got together and reached a consensus in just a quarter of an hour.

Just as Song Yuan had analyzed before, neither of them dared to gamble. Once the food and grass were lost, the war would end early.

Even though we have lost many men and horses, as long as the war can continue, there is still a glimmer of hope.

But if the food and supplies are lost, then it will be tantamount to complete defeat.

No one can bear this kind of outcome, so the two of them naturally know how to make the choice.

However, just as the two reached a consensus, endless regret arose in their hearts.

I knew this, why should I be at the beginning?

If they had agreed to Song Yuan's proposal when he first proposed the exchange, why would there be so many unexpected changes now?

After all, it was because I was too greedy before.

For a moment, thinking of his previous decision, Tublaik's face was filled with heartache.

However, facing the reality, he could only suppress his emotions. He immediately ordered everyone to send out 2000 soldiers and horses and gave up the horse under his crotch.

"Your Highness, I have already presented you with 2000 horses. I can give them to you first, but after that, we will carry the bodies of our compatriots, so you must retreat!"

In order to prevent accidents, the high priest was extremely cautious when making transactions.

Make a request immediately.

Faced with such a detailed ending, Song Yuan was extremely magnanimous. He waved his hand and made a promise.

"Don't worry, High Priest. As long as you hand over the 2000 war horses to me, I will immediately order everyone to retreat. I guarantee that there will be no impact at all. This is my promise to you!"

Seeing Song Yuan squinting his eyes while speaking, the high priest gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his heart. With a wave of his hand, the cavalry behind him immediately led their horses and slowly walked forward.

Driven by the crowd, 2000 war horses slowly merged into the canyon until they finally disappeared from sight.

Half an hour later, Song Yuan received the warhorse and immediately fulfilled his previous promise.

He led everyone to retreat behind him immediately.

When the high priest saw this, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down!

Every failure makes one wiser. This time the high priest did not dare to be negligent at all. He immediately ordered everyone to be on guard in the surrounding area.

Seeing this scene, Song Yuan sneered repeatedly.

This old guy is now behaving like a frightened bird. Can I take this opportunity to scare him?

As he spoke, Song Yuan suddenly gave a look to the men beside him.

The other party immediately held a meeting and led the archers to the edge of the canyon.

The high priest stood in the canyon and looked up. The moment he saw Song Yuan, his expression suddenly changed.

Without saying a word, he immediately roared angrily.

"Retreat, everyone, retreat immediately!"

While riding on a horse and galloping out of the canyon, the high priest did not forget to turn around and curse Song Yuan.

"Song Yuan, you little bastard, I curse you to have a miserable death in this life. You clearly promised me before, why are you going back on your word now?"

"High Priest, you misunderstood me. I just suddenly felt that the content of our previous deal might need to be changed!"

"How about this? I'd like to make you another deal. If you're interested, you might want to listen!"

Song Yuan said with a smile, and when he said this, the high priest's face turned pale as if he almost vomited blood.

Trade, trade, trade you bastard!

Don’t let me get you into my hands, damn kid. I’ll make you regret it sooner or later!
