Chapter 1318 – Final System Update

There was no such thing as regret in this world!

The Persian army that was in charge of escorting Ogedai's forces back stopped a thousand meters away from the gates. Only a single general and a squadron of guards proceeded toward the city gate.

”Move!”

Wang Jian turned around and headed down the city wall.

Following which, the city gates were opened, and Wang Jian and his group walked out.

To ensure the safety of the hand over, the West Asia warzone had made sufficient preparation. Apart from the defending troops formed up at the city wall, there were many cannons in the nearby mountains.

They aimed to prevent the Persian Empire from trying anything funny.

Although the chances of such a thing happening was low, they had to guard against such a event.

”Hello!”

The Persian general greeted them first.

Wang Jian looked over to see an old general that was thin but tall. He was wearing full body armor and had an eye-catching yellow beard.

Based on their intel, this person was Xerxes, and he was the east border commander of the Persian Empire.

”Hello!”

Wang Jian nodded expressionlessly.

If nothing went wrong, the next time these two met, they would be enemies on the battlefield.

Xerxes seemed to understood that too. The two generals were sizing up one another, and the air permeated with killing intent.

”Sign the agreement!” Wang Jian opened his mouth and said.

Both sides had obtained permission from their respective Imperial Courts to sign the handing over agreement.

Xerxes asked, ”Where is the ransom?”

In the agreement, the ransom column did not include a specific amount, which meant that Great Xia could give the Persian Empire any amount of Great Xia's choosing.

Wang Jian smiled and took out a single gold coin. He acted solemn as he said, ”Here!”

Looking at the gold coin, humiliation and anger flashed across Xerxes's face. Great Xia setting the ransom amount at one gold was undoubtedly an insult to the Persian Empire.

After struggling for a moment, Xerxes held it in and expressionlessly took the coin and handed over a set of the agreement.

After Wang Jian signed it, the agreement would be effective immediately.

All the changes to Xerxes's expression were caught by Wang Jian. His heart sank. This general's experience and ability to swallow anger made Wang Jian even warier of this neighboring country.

The following matters were really simple.

Ogedai and his generals were handed over first and locked up in the jail in South City Pass. The remaining soldiers were handed over squadron by squadron and sent into the pass.

For safety's sake, the entire process lasted for two days.

Every time the pass accepted a batch of prisoners, they would move them to the back to ensure the smooth passageway of the pass.

However, unbeknownst to outsiders, Ogedai died in jail that night. The one in charge of monitoring him was Wang Jian. Of course, Ouyang Shuo had instructed him to do so.

If not, no matter how bold Wang Jian was, he would not dare to take matters into his own hands.

Of the remaining soldiers, those with injuries were sent to the military doctors for treatment. After settling them down, some were directly sent back home while others were moved into the Xijiang or Xikang construction formations.

A single gold coin for 150 thousand strong young laborer, Great Xia had not lost out.

Through this move, the Imperial Court could also buy over the hearts of the Mongol people to a certain extent, killing two birds with one stone.
