Lord of Riders

Chapter 22



After Shao Yu refused the invitation of King harlaus, it may be difficult to get any benefits from the kingdom of Swadia in the future. Moreover, the war between the kingdom of svadia and the kingdom of Nord has lasted for a long time, and it is estimated that it will end soon. After the war, if King harlaus regrets that he wants to get back these equipment, it will be a trouble again. Shaoyu will no longer stop in dehrim and lead the army to leave dehrim and go to the capital of the kingdom of vegia, zhiwading

The battle between the kingdom of Nord and the kingdom of Swadia lasted more than two months. The casualties of soldiers on both sides were more than 3000. There are 100000 soldiers in service in swadian Kingdom and 70000 soldiers in service in Nord kingdom. Although the number of casualties is not much for both countries, the long war still has a great impact on the economy. Caravans going out are often attacked by enemy forces, and villages along the border are plundered by the enemy.

The plundered villagers are poor. If they do not steal in the city to make a living, they may even join the robber group, which will further worsen the security of the kingdom.

King svadia was hostile to the rodoc kingdom in the South and coveted by the kujit Khanate in the East. In order to prevent being attacked from both sides, King harlaus decided to propose peace to King Ragnar of the Nord kingdom.

King harlaus\'s messengers were sent to the kingdom of Nord one by one. Negotiate peace with King Ragnar.

King Ragnar naturally also received the news that the kujit Khanate was ready to invade the kingdom of Swadia. If they continue to entangle with the kingdom of Swadia, the kujit Khanate will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity to capture dehrim, which has changed hands several times, and then seize several castles in dehrim highland. In this way, the kingdom of Nord will border with the three countries. In vain, kujit Khanate picked up a bargain and added a powerful neighbor. Moreover, after more than two months of war, Nord Kingdom did not find any cheap, and naturally did not want to continue fighting.

Finally, after the negotiation between King harlaus and King Ragnar, it was finally decided to sign a peace agreement and a truce.

The two countries promised that they would not go to war for any reason within three months, and both sides would unconditionally release prisoners of war, including detained soldiers, civilians, businessmen and so on.

Originally, the negotiation process went smoothly. However, when the two sides handed over prisoners of war, they found that Shaoyu still had a lord and more than 50 prisoners missing.

The peace agreement signed calls for the release of prisoners of war, but the Nord Kingdom ignores Shaoyu, a third-party force. Although Shao Yu helped the Kingdom fight, he did not belong to the jurisdiction of the kingdom. However, it is a headache that this third-party force has more than 50 prisoners, including a Lord.

As a result, the peace agreement could not be implemented for the time being, and the Nord Kingdom refused to release swadian prisoners of war.

However, in order for the peace agreement to be implemented smoothly, King harlaus had to send someone to find Shaoyu to come back and sign the peace agreement.

Shao Yu and his party, together with hundreds of prisoners, naturally could not hide their tracks. They were soon found by spies from the kingdom of Swadia.

Although gyaden is also close to the border, it has not been in war for a long time. Coupled with the status of the capital of the kingdom of virgia, it is now a scene of prosperity.

Soon after Shaoyu and his soldiers arrived in riyading, King harlaus\'s envoy 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 Nord kingdom?" Shaoyu smiled after reading the letter sent by the messenger

"As a participant in the war and supported by King harlaus, you are obliged to obey king harlaus\'s orders," replied the messenger

"Well, go back and tell King harlaus that my promise has been completed, and I have no obligation to continue to obey his orders. If you want someone, for the sake of King harlaus\'s friendship with me, the Lord is 2000 dinars, and I will release each prisoner of 20 dinars," Shao Yu replied

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

"I did what I said. I annihilated 500 enemies for Swadia. How ungrateful? Since you said so, each soldier should go back and report to King harlaus. It\'s all your credit." Shaoyu sneered

The messenger was shocked when he heard this, and then realized that he was talkative. He quickly apologized to Shaoyu. If King harlaus knew he had caused this trouble, I\'m afraid the king would have to drag himself out and kill him.

Finally, Shaoyu didn\'t want to argue with the messenger and asked him to report back to King harlaus at the initial asking price.

Twenty dinars per soldier is much lower than the price offered by the slave traders. These soldiers could sell at least 60 dinars to slave traders, but Shao Yu didn\'t want to offend king harlaus. These soldiers and lords add up to three thousand dinars. Although it is not a small number, it is not much for king harlaus.

Sure enough, the messenger went back and reported the situation to King harlaus. Although king harlaus was a little unhappy, Shaoyu had nothing to refute, so he had to let the messenger run again. Send the three thousand dinars to Shao Yu.

Soon, the three thousand dinars were sent to Shaoyu. Shao Yu took the money and didn\'t bother. He released all the prisoners.

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

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

Without the drag of those prisoners of war, Shao Yu\'s movement was more free. At the same time, he made a small profit.

Now Shao Yu has 12000 dinars in cash. Shaoyu looked at the money with joy. After all, money can support more troops.

Shao Yu roughly calculated that his 50 cavalry men\'s daily expenses and wages were 3000 dinars a week. A knight\'s salary is ten dinars a week, which is higher than the average level on the mainland. The grain of the black cavalry army is also a large expense.

Although the combat effectiveness is extremely fierce, the capital consumption is really not low. Shao Yu\'s calculation is really a headache.

Although Shaoyu redeemed these soldiers and gave them freedom, and the soldiers are very loyal to Shaoyu, if they deduct military expenses, I\'m afraid the soldiers will inevitably have some ideas. This is what Shao Yu doesn\'t want. Shao Yu hoped that the black cavalry would be loyal to him.

Shao Yu sat in the tavern and thought about it. It was a headache.

When Shaoyu was thinking about how to solve the problem of military expenditure, someone suddenly did it around Shaoyu.

"Hey, brother, can you buy me a drink?" a handsome and strong young man ran to Shaoyu and asked
