Chapter 582: Smart People Choose Cooperation

Rurik was sitting in his temporary flagship, Mercury, and compared to a big ship like Aphrora, the current ship was indeed a bit smaller.

She is small but small, and her combat power can easily wipe out the canoe in front of her. Looking at the "Viking Army" under his command, once the two armies fight, the Ross Army is not just a sledgehammer.

"Is it kind?" Yevlo stood beside Rurik again.

Rurik glanced at him, "Your eyes flicker, and you are worried that our army will wipe them out."

"With the capabilities of our army, victory is only at your fingertips. Our army won in the small battle just now, but..."

"What?" Rurik asked again.

"I still hope..."

"Okay." Rurik let out a sigh, "At least those who surrender, we can spare their lives. If the Suomi finally surrender to us, I can promise them a peace. However, the tribute is naturally indispensable."

"This...this is the best."

Rurik shook his head again: "Maybe you are not suitable for this battle, just avoid it for the time being."

"No." Yevlo was cruel. "It's like two dueling fighters. As long as they stand here, they must decide the winner. Fight, I just hope the battle will not be too cruel."

Rurik shrugged and didn't say much. He made up his mind and was organizing the manpower, ready to give orders to all the rolling ships.

How to issue offensive orders is the "semaphore."

There is no clear semaphore system for the Ross people. Lurik just arranged for a person to stand on the bow of the ship. He will desperately wave the flag with the "Ross Paddle Flag", so-called to issue forward orders to all ships that he sees.

But is such a method efficient?

The reality tells the commander-in-chief of the Ross army to command the ground troops to fight fiercely. They can send orders to the centuries through the flag-bearers and the errand soldiers. In the previous naval battles, because of the large tonnage of the ships participating in the war, the number of ships involved was relatively small. The dispatching also allowed personnel to wave flags. Most of the time, the personnel shouted at each other, and the dispatch was basically completed.

It is necessary to establish a set of efficient and accurate maritime communication methods.

Rurik was somewhat dauntingly commanding a large number of long boat teams. Based on the communication conditions, he decided not to play any tricks, so that the army directly rushed forward regardless of priority, and then there were random killings on the lake.

At this critical moment, Yiye Bianzhou broke away from the enemy's large forces and rushed straight towards him.

"What's going on?" Rurik looked sideways.

"My lord, maybe they are afraid of our military's might and sent envoys to request a truce. No matter how bad it is, it is a negotiation." Yevlo said a little excited, because he didn't want this untimely war in his heart.

Rurik nodded, "Negotiate, okay. I'm afraid the brothers can't suppress their emotions. Jeflo, you quickly bring your brothers and rush up with my banner, you call on others not to fight..."

"Then bring the messenger back?"

"Exactly. You tell the messenger that I'm making sense. The two armies won't be cut in battle."

"Yes!"

Jeflo immediately jumped onto a long boat with more than a dozen people. He personally held the "Ross Paddle Flag" with a white background and blue stripes, and stood out from the Ross fleet lined with long snakes.

Looking at the Suomi Army.

Uko still didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong. As he got closer and closer to Varang's army, his tension increased. A dangerous long ship in front of you stepped on the waves. Could it be that the other party already understands his intentions? His mood is a little better.

Evlo ordered the paddling brothers to slow down gradually and kept everyone on guard. Even if the opponent is his own Suomi clan, but everything depends on him, he is afraid of being tricked by the opponent.

The long ship was deliberately separated from the canoe, and Yevlo yelled vigorously while carrying the flag, reporting his identity and asking the other party for coming.

Now, Wu Ke was taken aback.

"What's the matter, there are still ours among the Varangians. Did any of the brothers defect to them and become mercenaries?" The more Uko thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.

Things were better than he thought. The leader of the Varangans decided to meet with Suomi's messenger and promised complete safety.

Any hesitation at this point in the matter may make the Varangans feel that they refuse the peace talks. Yes, Uko is here to seek a truce and peace talks.

The Suomi leader stood on the canoe and opened his arms to indicate that he had no intention of fighting.

Evlo then ordered the canoe to follow him closely so that it could pass the heavily guarded Varyag fleet smoothly.

The atmosphere was suffocating, and the paddling Suomi continued to pass out. It was only their muscle instinct that they could still row.

Seeing the Varangians so close in this life, they are so full of cover!

Almost all of the warriors who came from far away were blonde, wearing highly reflective helmets one after another, and half of their faces were covered by the extended visor of the helmet.

Many of them wore precious chain mail, but the most shocking thing about Uke was that the Varangans even had uniform attire.

"It's a white Varanga, different from other Varangas..."

He was muttering in his heart, so he had to hook his head and dare not look at these people.

Finally, the canoe drifted to the side of the Mercury, whose propeller was slowly advancing.

This scene is even more bizarre. The big ship has reefed its sails, and there is no big oar extended. The ship is still moving.

After all, the rope ladder was thrown down, and Evlo stood on the long boat: "The leader of Suomi, you can board the ship. You have enough identity to meet my master. Don't worry, my master can basically understand Suomi's language. ."

"Ok."

It's weird again and again, they are Roths, are the Roths also part of the Varanga? It’s amazing how the leader of Varangk knew Suomi.

Uke and several of his entourage all boarded the big ship, and saw a group of sturdy men in chain mail forming a wall of people. Fear eroded his mind, and Uko retreated three steps in a row, and his entourage was so frightened that he almost wanted a boat to escape.

When it is, the human wall gives way to a gap.

The young Rurik walked out from the gap with his waist pinched. He opened his hands to make a welcome gesture. His complexion was harmonious and without any intention of using force. Of course, his smiling face made people think that he was really a "human slaughter". .

Rurik cleared his throat and said, "Emissary Suomi, welcome ship. Let me guess, are you here to beg me for mercy and ask for a truce?"

Is Chief Varanga a child? Uke felt that his personality had been insulted, and the opponent's real leader must have been hiding and sending a kid over to speak up.

But looking at this situation, I am a lamb among the wolves, how can I be dissatisfied?

Ukoso revealed his identity, and he held up his head and raised his head vigorously: "I am the leader of Suomi, and I brought the army back. Now, I want to stop this conflict?"

"Really? We didn't attack you. Why did you take the initiative to attack me? My people were irritated. Now you want to stop?"

What Rurik said was really giving his opponent a chance to argue.

Looking at the situation, both sides realize that the negotiation has just begun, and now it is only the initial exchange of information between the two sides.

Uko was shocked when he witnessed the Ross fleet at close range, knowing that once his canoe army went to war, they would only have the tragic fate of being slaughtered by them.

He is not as sturdy as the leader of Tavastia. As a citizen of Huze who is good at business, everyone is very flexible.

Uke immediately changed his tone, his attitude became a little flattering, and he smiled: "It's all a misunderstanding." Then he pointed to another entourage: "It's all because of this man, he is the leader of the Tavastians. , Spur us to fight with you."

"Fighting?" Rurik glanced at the trembling Nuoli. He had no idea about this person, so he had eyes staring at Uko: "You are the leader. You came to tell me that you chose war? Okay, our two armies are already on this lake. I will put you back now, and then we will fight in full force."

The words were so loud, Uko could fully understand Rurik's words, especially the key word-war.

war? This is a dead end.

Uko hurriedly complimented: "I am so blind that I dare to challenge you. Once the battle occurs, we will be wiped out."

"Are you self-aware?" Rurik smiled, and then stepped forward suddenly, "Since you don't want to fight, put down your weapons!"

"Ah this..."

"Do you want to fight? Hesitate to surrender? You are the leader of Suomi, hurry up and make a decision."

"..."

Rurik sullied his mouth and drew out his short sword directly: "Then hold you back. I immediately order the army to attack your team. I will kill you all without mercy."

A beautiful young man showed fierceness, no matter how handsome he was, he was still a sea wolf!

Uko had planned to get close to this group of Varangans again, so-called many Suomi fishermen had seen his fleet cruising in the ocean.

It seems that whether to choose war is only between one's own thoughts? !

Uko sat directly on the ground, yelling, "Truce! We truce! It's just that I have the conditions."

"You?" Rurik said with contempt: "You want to negotiate terms? Are you worthy?"

"There is only one condition, we will surrender, as long as you don't launch an attack on us. Besides, why do we have to fight? We...can do trade, why in-depth cooperation."

"Cooperation? Good. Come on! Give wine! Give meat!"

When the Suomi leader said "request for cooperation", Rurik knew that his bravery could be suspended.

They were scared off their backbone by the mighty power of the Russian army. Of course, this group of guys were also smart, and they knew a very wise truth—if they couldn't beat them, they would join them.

Things went well beyond Rurik's plan, and this incident also made the nervous Jeflo completely relax.

Yevlo knew that his master knew the contract very well. Since the Suomi people plan to cooperate, the master also supported the cooperation by rewarding wine and meat, which means that at least the Russian army will not unilaterally tear up the cooperation.

The next thing is nothing more than to discuss specific cooperation.

What can be the result of the negotiation? With his toes, Jeflo could understand that the Suomi people must claim tribute to Rose. If they don’t claim tribute, war is still indispensable.

Looking at today's affairs from the perspective of the vast number of Russian soldiers, it is simply a farce.

More than a thousand people sharpened their swords and planned to kill in the sun to show Odin's heroic berserkers.

It's fine now, the assembled army was ordered to disband, and Lord Duke ordered that no one attacked the Suomi camp.

Uko himself was released back. He claimed to have avoided a terrible killing. The leaders of various villages also expressed their understanding.

Everyone is a business man, so what else can we fight if we come out to fight for nothing? Who would fight against the Varangas for the undead of the Tavastias? Besides, more than 200 brothers have been easily killed by the Varangans, and as many as 80 people are still under their control.

The three thousand army was very useless and lost three hundred people. The remaining Suomi people generally wanted to escape, just because they didn't want to be the first to run for the sake of face.

In the afternoon, Suomi’s large number of canoes docked, and they camped in a forest on the shore.

In the evening, after some discussions among the Suomi elites, Uko took five bold village leaders and took three canoes to land in Tavastallu, occupied by the Rus, in accordance with the verbal agreement with Rurik. Sacrifice center.

Here, it seems to be a Varyag city!

In the sunset, Uko saw a large number of black-haired Tavastia women being controlled by the blonde Rus, and the intruder became the master here!

Looking at the lake again, those long boats with their bows and sterns all floating on the lake in large numbers, and many boats lit up flames. What are they doing?

Uko did not understand the wonder of night fishing.

Will the Suomi people implement the verbal agreement in front of the battle with the Suomi leader?

If the pigeons are released, it is equivalent to the opponent's choice of war, and Rurik knows that he has a new reason for war. In principle, he has been too lazy to expand the war, or that he and the army no longer want to waste time in this eastern land.

Finally, a guard reported that the canoe had landed.

"It's finally here! Great." Rurik walked out of the warm house and motioned to the waiting subordinates, "Be prepared and let them see a good show!"

A good show is indeed a terrible good show.

Uko, five other people and a small number of entourages, everyone is in the community of Varangans, it is strange that they are really strange, but they also found that they have some things in common with them.

Many blonde Varangans came to watch with their little women, pointing their fingers and saying something they didn't understand.

It was Jeflo who led them and urged: "Hurry up, my master wants to show you a good show."

What is a good show?

In the sunset, Uko and others saw a person **** with a rope. Who is this person if he is not Nuoli?

Rurik came with his waist and pointed at the man: "You are finally here, noble one of Suomi. Now you see, this is the last Tavastiya warrior who will be executed by me."

"This..." Uke's eyes widened and his teeth closed, at a loss.

With a wave of Rurik's hand, as many as four strong men pulled the rope, and poor Nuoli was hung up, and was gradually hanged in the struggle of crying bitterly.

Rurik didn’t want to watch the execution process, even his subordinates were cheering This is the necessary evil. There are still some Tavastian men who have not been annihilated because of being mixed in the Suomi camp. Except for its leader, the others are also a group of chickens without a leader.

He said to the visitor with a wooden face: "I understand your language and your traditions. You feel that the soul lies in the blood. If this person is given a bloodless death and then buried, his soul will return smoothly. The sea of ​​souls."

"Yes...that's it." Uke was already shaking a little.

Rurik shrugged again: "Let's go, I've been prepared for the banquet. Since you are here to seek cooperation, we will discuss how to cooperate. Rest assured, as long as your people will not stupidly attack my camp , I will not start a war."

"That's great." Uke's smile was very embarrassed, and he followed the teenager Rurik carefully, his eyes fixed on the young boy's floating golden ponytail, and the large amount of inlaid hanging on his waist. The dagger of the gem, feeling that this extremely young leader of Varang can easily command thousands of brawny men to do anything, there must be a hidden secret behind the incredible.

They entered the meeting room of the Tavastia, where the aroma was already tangy, the tempting smell of barbecue mixed with the aroma of wine, how wonderful it was.

Since the Varangans are willing to serve barbecue and wine, they should be trustworthy.

Uko is very fortunate that he chose to cooperate, but he and the village leaders have reached a consensus that the Suomi people will pay the price for this cooperation.

The price, as long as it does not touch the bottom line, everything is negotiable.

The bottom line of the Suomi people is also very simple-they can't be slaves.
