Chapter 99 Negotiating an Alliance
  After occupying Zhuoliketu's camp, Lin Feng naturally took it as his own. The tents, food and grass were all ready-made, and the hundred or so cavalry he brought also needed a camp.

Although they said they were here to discuss an alliance with Zuo Qi, the law of the jungle on the grassland was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It was very possible that Zuo Qi might accidentally assassinate them, so it was safer to camp alone.

Zoriktu's tent was large and well-equipped, and the leg of lamb was roasting on the stove until it was sizzling with oil.

Lin Feng was not polite. He cut off a piece and let the Mongolian maid who was still sitting in the tent try it first. After seeing that it was ok, he started eating it. This fight still consumed a lot of energy.

After a while, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Wang Qin and Fang Xiaoyu walked in.

Lin Feng cut off a piece of fat and thin roasted lamb and handed it over, saying, "Eat a piece of meat first. Don't tell me that the lamb from this prairie is delicious."

Wang Qin took a few mouthfuls and swallowed it before saying: "Sir, the battle outside is over. Except for a few cavalry who escaped, the other right banner cavalry were killed. It's so cold now that one or two cavalry can run out alone." It’s also difficult to survive.”

"How are our casualties?" Lin Feng asked.

"Our cavalry suffered more than a dozen casualties. The Han cavalry did not engage in much hand-to-hand combat and only injured two people. Hongtu's Mongolian cavalry killed five people and injured seven or eight others." Wang Qin replied.

"Well, the casualties are relatively small." Lin Feng said with satisfaction.

"The main reason is that the tactics arranged by the adults are appropriate. Zhentian Lei played a great role. Zhuoliketu's cavalry was unprepared. It will probably be difficult to fight like this again in the future." Wang Qin said.

"Yes, as long as you are prepared and spread out your troops, Zhentian Lei's role in mobile warfare will be very limited, but it is still very useful in city defense warfare. You must attach great importance to summarizing the battle. We don't have any command to fight. You can gain further experience by fighting in a battle." Lin Feng explained.

"Understood!" Wang Qin responded.

"Have the Han servants brought by You Ban been settled? If there are suitable ones, we can choose some to supplement our lost cavalry." Lin Feng arranged.

"Everything has been settled. Several of the leaders have a close relationship with Zhuriktu. They have all been killed. The rest should be fine. These handymen are all good at equestrian skills. It is estimated that thirty or forty younger ones can be selected. Join the cavalry." Wang Qin replied.

"Where are the seized items?" Lin Feng asked next.

"In this battle, more than 200 war horses, more than 30 machetes, bows and arrows were seized. Not a lot of armor, only about pieces, and no firearms." Wang Qin replied.

He paused and asked: "Sir, what should I do with the thirty or forty surrendered troops brought by Tashhai, the centurion of Zuo Banner? The elder of Zuo Banner has already come to ask for them."

"Give it back to Zuo Qi. After all, he belongs to them. Alata also joined the war later, so he must give him some benefits. We will also discuss an alliance with them later." Lin Feng replied.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Wang Qin said and went out.

At this time Wu Yunna and Lergen came in together.

"Brother Lin, are you really the reincarnation of the Immortal Heaven? You are so powerful that you chopped off that annoying Zhuriktu in one go." Wu Yunna said with admiration on her face.

"Haha, he dares to bully our lark, how can we let him go?" Lin Feng said with a smile, and he also knew Wu Yunna's nickname in the tribe.

"Master Lin, this battle is over. Ezhan also respects you very much. I would like to ask you to go to Zuo Banner's main tent to discuss the alliance." Elder Lergen interjected.

Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "The alliance is of great importance, so we need to be more cautious. We just finished the battle today, and there are still some aftermath matters that need to be dealt with. I will go to Zuoqi tomorrow to discuss it with Ezhan, and ask him to think about it again tonight. Fan."

Since he was going to negotiate, he naturally couldn't just listen to the other party's arrangements. Lin Feng decided to let him go for a while and talk about everything tomorrow. It wasn't in a hurry anyway.

"Okay, then I'll go back and report to you first. I'll be waiting for you at Zuoqi tomorrow." Lergen said respectfully and left first.

"Wuyuna can't go back?" Lin Feng asked. "Of course I want to accompany you here. Mr. Lin is now our most precious guest in Zuoqi." Wu Yunna said in a sour tone, and looked at the maid in the tent with an evil look.

"Tell her that she doesn't need to serve here anymore. Let her go out first." Lin Feng said to Wu Yunna. He was not a stallion and would ask for one when he saw her.

Wu Yunna was immediately happy when she heard this. She quickly sent away the Mongolian maid and helped Lin Feng cut the roast mutton herself.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng took Wu Yunna, Hong Tu, Fang Xiaoyu and others to the Zuoqi garrison, leaving Wang Qin to continue to reorganize the rescued Han handymen and expand the size of the cavalry.

Arata consciously stood at the door of the tent to greet him. Yesterday he witnessed Lin Feng's miracle with his own eyes, how could he not be disrespectful.

"Master Lin, you are here, please come inside." Arata invited.

"I'd rather bother you to greet you in person, let's go in together." Lin Feng replied.

The two entered the tent, and elders Lergen and Wu Yunna also followed. Fang Xiaoyu stood guard at the door of the tent.

Wu Yunna consciously assumed the role of a waiter and poured ma milk tea for all three of them.

After Alata sat down, he asked anxiously: "Master Lin, I wonder how you formed the alliance you mentioned yesterday?"

Lin Feng took a sip of the horse milk tea and said: "The alliance is naturally mutually beneficial. First of all, it is military. You cannot enter the pass to clear grass and valleys. In addition, if necessary, cavalry will be sent to support my military operations. The people who come here will listen to me. command."

"We can't cut grass and valley here. It's hard for us to feed the tribe. We don't have to go to Fugu County, but I'm afraid it won't work if we don't go to other places." Arata didn't want to give up the right to enter the border to cut grass and valley.

"If you continue to enter the border and plunder the Han people, you will be my enemy. There is no need to talk about forming an alliance. As for feeding the tribe, you don't have to worry. I have already found a way to survive for you." Lin Feng responded.

"Are you selling wool? This is not very valuable and may not be able to feed the tribe." Arata said worriedly.

"I will give you a reasonable price. The specific price will be negotiated by our shopkeeper Duan from Fugu Grassland Trading. As long as you obey our arrangements, I guarantee that no one in Zuoqi will starve to death." Lin Feng said.

"Can you really guarantee that no one will starve to death?" Arata asked.

"There are less than 3000 of you in total. As long as you work harder and get more wool and sheepskin, there will be no problem. To show my sincerity, the 300 shi of grain I brought this time will be given to you Zuoqi." Lin Feng said happily.

"Thank you, Brother Lin." Wu Yunna stepped forward to express her thanks. She knew that Lin Feng's willingness to send food must be for her sake.

"Master Lin is so cheerful. We Zuoqi cannot be stingy. I will give you a hundred fine war horses." Alata said. Although Zuoqi is poor, there is still no shortage of war horses.

"In addition, you must provide me with war horses every year. The specific number will be discussed in due course. Of course, we will pay for them." Lin Feng added.

"This is no problem." As long as there is money to be made, Arata naturally agrees.

"Okay, then our alliance is settled." Lin Feng emphasized.

"It's a deal!" Arata responded.

 Why did the volume become the third volume? I can’t change it at all, everyone understands.
