Lord of Riders

Chapter 23: Peace agreement

   After Shao Yu rejected the invitation of King Haraus, it might be more difficult to think about what benefits from this Swadia kingdom in the future. Moreover, the war between the Kingdom of Swadia and the Kingdom of Nord has been going on for a long time. It is estimated that it will be over soon. After the war, if King Haraus regrets that it is a trouble to get these equipment back, Shao Yu will no longer be there. Dehrim stayed, led his army to leave Dehrim, and went to Zhivadin, the capital of the Kingdom of Vigia

  The battle between the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Swadia lasted for more than two months. Soldiers on both sides suffered more than 3,000 casualties. The Kingdom of Swadia has 100,000 soldiers in service, and the Kingdom of Nordland has 70,000 soldiers in service. Although the number of casualties is not high for the two countries, the long-term war still has a great impact on the economy. of. Caravans that go out are often attacked by enemy troops, and villages on the border are also plundered by enemy troops.

   The looted villagers are destitute, and if they don’t make a living by stealing in the city, they may even join a band of robbers, causing the kingdom’s security to deteriorate further.

   The Swadia Kingdom has the hostility of the Rhodok Kingdom in the south, and the coveting of the Khergit Khanate in the east. In order to prevent the enemy from being attacked, King Haraus decided to propose peace to King Ragnar of the Nord Kingdom.

   King Harous’s messengers were sent to the Nord Kingdom one by one. Discuss with King Ragnar about peace.

   King Ragna naturally also received the news that the Khergit Khanate was preparing to invade the Kingdom of Swadia. If it continues to entangle with the Swadia Kingdom, the Kujit Khanate will inevitably take advantage of the emptiness to capture Dehrim, which has changed hands several times, and then seize several castles in Dehrim Highlands. In this way, the Kingdom of Nord will join the three kingdoms. In vain, the Kujit Khanate took advantage of it and added a powerful neighbor. Moreover, the Nord Kingdom did not find any advantage after the war for more than two months, so naturally he didn't want to continue fighting.

  Finally, after the negotiation between King Haraus and King Ragnar, they finally decided to sign a peace agreement and truce there.

   The two countries promised that the two countries would not go to war for any reason within three months, and the two sides would unconditionally release prisoners of war, including soldiers, civilians, businessmen, etc. in custody.

   The negotiation process was going smoothly, but when the two sides handed over the prisoners of war, it was discovered that Shao Yu still had a lord and more than fifty prisoners missing.

   The signed peace agreement required the release of prisoners of war, but the Nord Kingdom ignored Shao Yu, a third-party force. Although Shao Yu helped the kingdom of Swadia fight, he was not under the jurisdiction of the kingdom of Swadia. However, what is troublesome is that this third-party force has more than fifty prisoners, including a lord.

   As a result, this peace agreement could not be implemented for a while, and the Nord Kingdom refused to release the Swadia prisoners of war.

   Helplessly, in order to implement the peace agreement smoothly, King Haraus had to send someone to Shao Yu to come back to sign the peace agreement.

   Shao Yu, the group of people who captured hundreds of people together, naturally couldn't hide their tracks, and they were quickly found by the spies of the Kingdom of Swadia.

  Riyaden is also close to the border area, but it has not been under war for a long time, and coupled with the status of the capital of the Kingdom of Virginia, it is now a prosperous scene.

   Shortly after Shao Yu and his soldiers arrived in Riyaden, the envoy of King Harous came to the door. Ask Shao Yu to go back and implement the peace agreement.

   "Why should I participate in the agreement between Swadia and the Nord Kingdom?" Shao Yu looked at the letter sent by the messenger and said with a smile

   "As a participating party, you are also supported by King Haraus and are obliged to obey the orders of King Haraus" the messenger replied

"Well, you go back and tell King Haraus that my promise has been fulfilled, and I am not obliged to continue to obey his orders. If you want someone, read it for the sake of King Haraus’ friendship with me, the two lords. Thousands of dinars, every 20 dinars captured, I will release people" Shao Yu replied

   "You are ungrateful, Shao Yu" the messenger scolded.

"I did what I said. I wiped out five hundred aids for Swadia. How to be ungrateful. Since you said so, then each soldier is forty dinars. Go back and report to King Haraus that this is all yours. Credit." Shao Yu sneered.

   The messenger was shocked when he heard it, and then he realized that he was talking too much. He quickly apologized to Shao Yu, if he let King Harous know that he was in trouble, he might have to drag himself out and kill him.

   In the end, Shao Yu didn't want to care about this messenger, and asked him to return the original asking price to King Harous.

   Twenty dinars per soldier is a lot lower than the price offered by the slave traders. These soldiers can be sold for at least 60 dinars from the slave traders, but Shao Yu did not want to offend King Haraus for this. These soldiers and the lord add up to three thousand dinars. Although it was not a small number, it was nothing to King Harous.

   Sure enough, the messenger reported the situation to King Harous when he returned. Although King Harous was a bit unhappy, UU read www.uukanshu.com, but Shao Yu had nothing to refute, so he had to let the messenger run again. Send these three thousand dinars to Shao Yu.

   Soon, these three thousand dinars were delivered to Shao Yu. Shao Yu took the money without being verbose, so he released all the prisoners.

   The Nord Kingdom has long received news from King Harous and sent people to pick up the prisoners of war and return home. After receiving the prisoners, the Nord Kingdom also released the prisoners of the Swadia Kingdom as agreed.

  The armistice agreement between the two sides came into effect, and the nearly 80-day war ended.

   Shao Yu's actions will be more free without the drag of those prisoners of war. At the same time, he made a small profit.

   Now Shao Yu's cash has reached twelve thousand dinars. Shao Yu looked at the money with joy. After all, money can raise more troops.

   Shao Yu roughly calculated that the usual expenditure of his fifty cavalrymen was 3,000 dinars in a week. The salary of a knight is fifty dinars per week, which is higher than the average level on the mainland. The black cavalry's rations are also a lot of expense.

   Although the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, the capital consumption is really not low. Shao Yu's calculations are really a headache.

  Although these soldiers were redeemed by Shao Yu, they were all freed, and the soldiers were very loyal to Shao Yu, but if the military expenses are deducted again, I am afraid that the soldiers will inevitably have some ideas. This is what Shao Yu didn't want. Shao Yu hoped that the Black Cavalry would answer him loyally.

   Shao Yu sitting in the tavern thinking about this is a headache.

   Just when Shao Yu was thinking about how to solve the problem of military expenditure, someone suddenly came to Shao Yu's side.

   "Hey, brother, can you buy me a drink?" A handsome and strong young man ran up to Shao Yu and asked
