Chapter 206 Peace Agreement
As soon as General Wei finished speaking, a thousand archers rushed to the front, and small white balls rushed towards the enemy's camp.
Qin Chuanjun instinctively used weapons to block it, before they could figure out what was flying over.
Those little white balls disappeared out of thin air, and then, an unbearable stench was smelled.
Everyone's brows were tightly furrowed, and someone in the crowd shouted.
"Cover your mouth and nose!"
Immediately afterwards, all the Qinchuan troops quickly covered their mouths and retreated.
But it was too late. The retreating Qinchuan army began to lose consciousness and their movements gradually slowed down.
Not long after, groups of people fell down quickly, which made Deputy General Sun look shocked. This was obviously Chinese medicine.
"Retreat quickly! Quickly......" He shouted at everyone.
But before he could finish his words, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes and fell off his horse. At the same time, the other two lieutenants beside him also fainted.
"Tie them up!" General Wei looked happy.
Seeing Lieutenant General Sun falling off his horse, he waved to the deputy generals around him. More than a dozen people came forward and tied them up.
“……………………”Qin Chuanjun was shocked.
Just as he watched Lieutenant General Sun being tied up, he wanted to go forward to rescue him, but he saw people falling down one after another.
Everyone was extremely terrified. If they didn't retreat now, they might not be able to leave.
"Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"
At this moment, there was no time to save those people, and they retreated in panic.
It didn't take long before the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops withdrew ten miles away, and the only ones left were lying on the ground unconscious.
"Hahahaha... tie them all up for me!" General Wei looked excited.
The Crown Princess's medicine was indeed very effective. In just a short while, so many people were knocked down.
The most important thing is that not a single soldier was injured, and not a drop of blood was seen. If this were to get out, no one would believe it.
The soldiers were also very excited. They took out the straw ropes they brought with them and began to tie up the Qinchuan soldiers who had fainted.
"General, we have captured more than 24,500 prisoners in total!" The deputy general came to General Wei with an excited look on his face.
Pointing at the Qin Chuan army who were tied up, I felt indescribably excited.
I have fought with them so many times on the battlefield, but I have never captured so many people at once.
The most important thing is that they haven't lost a single soldier, this is like a dream.
"Okay, withdraw the troops!" General Wei waved his hand, his face full of excitement.
He had already thought of that old dog Qin Tianxiong's expression when he saw his soldiers.
When he thought of his dark face, his mood became extremely good. At this moment, Shang Zhanchen had already received the news sent back by General Wei.
Although I had anticipated the result, I was still very excited after listening to the soldier's report.
"Your Highness, why don't we go out and take a look!" Shang Zhanchen looked at Qin Tianxiong, whose face was darker than the bottom of a pot.
He pointed outside the tent and said, since he didn't believe it, he would let him see the more than 20,000 prisoners with his own eyes.
"……………………" Qin Tianxiong.
Although he tried to control himself, his face was still frighteningly dark when he thought of the fact that more than 20,000 of his soldiers had been captured.
I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart. I used to think that Prince Shang was just young and arrogant, but now I was really slapped in the face.
We have fought with the Wei guys on the battlefield so many times, but we have never lost so many people at once. This is really embarrassing.
Even the deputy generals beside him had extremely grim expressions. They did not expect that their Qinchuan army was so vulnerable.
It has only been a short period of time and more than 20,000 people have been captured. No wonder the prince looks so unhappy.
But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't just sit there. Qin Tianxiong stood up and followed Shang Zhanchen out.
When we arrived at the grassland, we saw from afar a large group of people walking towards us.
When he got closer, he found that those who were tied up were his own soldiers, even the Lieutenant General Sun, whom he always valued, was among them.
Upon seeing his own prince, Lieutenant General Sun's eyes lit up, and despite his slow movements, he was still the first to rush to the front.
"Your Highness!" He was a little excited when he saw that the prince was safe and sound.
Seeing his soldiers all tied up, although Qin Tianxiong was angry, he was also shocked.
In such a short time, they captured more than 20,000 people. It seems that what Prince Shang said was right. If the Shang Dynasty really had other intentions towards Qin Chuan.
With their current strength, it would be absolutely easy for them to set foot into the territory of Qinchuan Kingdom.
So at this moment he believed Shang Zhanchen's words a little more and believed that he really wanted to trade with Qinchuan Kingdom.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned and looked at Shang Zhanchen.
"Prince Shang, if I sign a peace agreement with your country and agree to trade between our two countries, then can my Qinchuan troops be released safely?"
"Of course. If the prince signs a peace agreement with me, since we are friendly neighbors, we will naturally release the people." Shang Zhanchen nodded with a smile.
"Okay, then the king agrees to sign the peace agreement." Qin Tianxiong nodded.
He took another look at his men. In total, more than 30,000 of them had been captured.
The fact that Prince Shang did not ask for a ransom showed his sincerity in wanting to trade. What else could he say?
"Okay, then I'll have someone draft the document right away." Shang Zhanchen curled his lips and smiled.
Although his face still had a calm expression, he was actually very happy in his heart.
Once this peace agreement is signed, there will be no more wars on the border. I wonder how many people will benefit from it.
The opinions were reached and the peace agreement was signed quickly, because we had been discussing what would happen after the trade was resumed in the past few days.
So when discussing the next things, things went relatively smoothly. Qin Tianxiong agreed to order sweet potatoes worth one million taels of silver first.
Qin Tianxiong was very satisfied with the price offered by Shang Zhanchen. To show his sincerity, Shang Zhanchen also promised Qin Tianxiong to take all the captives away on the same day.
This also made Qin Tianxiong admire Shang Zhanchen's character even more, and at the same time confirmed his sincerity in wanting to trade.
This dispelled all doubts, and at the same time, they made up their minds to engage in economic exchanges with the Great Shang Kingdom.
Watching General Wei send Qin Tianxiong and the captives to the border, Shang Zhanchen let out a long sigh.
"……………………"
Finally succeeded!
Besides being happy, he also felt extremely relieved. This peace agreement not only reduced the casualties of the soldiers, but also benefited countless civilians.
"Master, this is all thanks to the Crown Princess." Jiang Zuo looked excited.
If we talk about the credit for this matter, the Crown Princess must be the one who deserves the most credit, if it weren't for the Crown Princess's medicine.
Qin Tianxiong would definitely not sign the peace agreement so readily, and he might not even sign it yet.
"Yeah." Shang Zhanchen nodded.
He glanced at the distant mountains again and felt more and more that what the Imperial Observatory said was right. His wife was indeed a lucky charm for her husband.
