Chapter 579 Return [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
The reason why two people who hold high positions of power in their respective countries and have a combined population of more than a hundred people can sit here and eat and vomit at the same time is certainly not due to the delicious food made by Gu Ping'er, but the sincerity of the two people towards the peace talks.
Although the power transition in the court of Yin State was smoother than expected, there were still many problems to be solved. And Jiuyang had the God of War in charge after all. Even if he did not take action when attacking Yin State, would Kuo Muye still stand idly by if the attack reached Jiuyang's territory?
It was destined to be difficult for Yin State to achieve any results in this battle, so even if it had the upper hand, it wanted to end it as soon as possible.
Jiuzhou is a land of talented people and beautiful scenery. If there is a next fairyland, the probability of it appearing in Yin State is even greater. Only then will we have the courage to talk to Jiuyang about a war to destroy the country.
Moreover, Yin State had no intention of conquering Jiuyang at all.
Even if they expanded their territory to Shuangbei City, it was only to prevent Jiuyang from invading. We have a vast country with abundant natural resources. Why would we seize your useless land?
The coalition of seven tribes represented by Wu Mengshan did not want to take the risk of such a war at all. Most of the tribal leaders did not have the same ambition as the Canglong tribe. They just wanted to be nobles and step on the heads of their own people.
How nice it would be to live a peaceful life where you can bully men and women and act tyrannically on weekdays. Why do we need to fight a war?
If you say there are benefits, I will join you, but if there are no benefits, of course I will surrender the first time.
So when Wu Mengshan saw Jiang Zhenye, it was like a turtle seeing a yellow-haired man, they were attracted to each other.
The two people faced the banquet in front of them with a kind of surrender mentality, and they showed their respect to each other by eating the food.
"But, Elder Wu." Jiang Zhenye lowered his voice and said, "The war was started by Jiuyang. If you want to end it this time, I'm afraid you will have to pay some price."
"But the Yin Kingdom court should also know that letting Tang Wei out of Canglang Valley is already a great sincerity." Wu Mengshan also said, "You shouldn't ask for too much."
"All conditions will be within the acceptable range for both parties." Jiang Zhenye nodded, "Peace is what both countries need most."
"That's right, peace is above all else." Wu Mengshan said, "The war was initiated by Huanshen Peak and the Canglong Tribe. The Wind Priest and the Khan of the Canglong Tribe that you captured are also their people, but they are the most opposed to peace talks. This is why I met you in private. I am worried that they will use some means to prevent peace talks. Today, in front of King Dinggou, I will make my position clear. No matter what happens, our Seven Tribes Alliance is determined to negotiate peace!"
"Since Elder Wu said so, I understand." Jiang Zhenye said, "No matter what happens, it cannot shake the trust between us."
The two envoys looked at each other, their eyes collided, and for a moment they felt each other's sincerity.
As if to celebrate the peace that would soon be achieved between the people of the two countries, Gu Ping'er brought up a plate of wriggling black fluid and placed it on the table.
"My Lords, this is a new dish I have recently developed, blanched swamp earthworms. These swamp earthworms are a specialty of Yangtu. They will not die even if you cut them into a hundred pieces. The meat is so fresh that it will still be alive and kicking after it enters your stomach!"
Wu Mengshan and Jiang Zhenye looked at each other politely again, "King Dinggou, please go first."
"Elder Wu, please go first."
"You are the prince, please go first."
"You are the elder, you..."
After giving in twice, the two of them suddenly couldn't help themselves and burst out at each other, "Ugh—"
……
The condition for Yin State to accept peace talks was to allow Tang Wei's army to withdraw safely.
The seven-army coalition readily agreed. They didn't want to fight a tough battle, especially against an opponent like Tang Wei.
A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. When fighting against an opponent who is known as a military god, even if he seems to have the upper hand, you never know when he will suddenly show off some amazing moves.
After clearing the way, Tang Wei's army received the news and set out cautiously. First, the team that attacked Guxu City joined the main force, and then retreated all the way from Canglong. At first, they were very careful, but later they found that the seven allied forces really didn't want to fight, and there was no obstruction. They wanted to send them supplies along the way, so they gradually accelerated their march.
We finally left Canglang Valley today.
Qi Kunlun had already led a large army to meet outside the valley, facing the defenders from a distance, with strong soldiers and horses and fluttering flags. Although they had experienced a tragic defeat, the army of Yin State was stern and fierce, and showed no fear.
In contrast, there was obvious fear in the eyes of Jiuyang's soldiers.
Not long after, another army came out of the valley with a cloud of dust. From afar, they saw Qi Kunlun personally leading the troops in battle formation. Tang Wei also stood out from the crowd and came to the front from the center.
"Mr. Qi." He dismounted from a distance and walked over on foot.
Qi Kunlun also dismounted to greet him and held Tang Wei's arm, "You are worthy of being here. You fought thousands of miles away and captured the enemy chief alive. No one else could have done this."
The tall old general looked at his thin disciple with excited eyes and trembling voice, obviously not being polite.
In less than a month, Tang Wei led his army to attack from Longyuan City to Guxu City, spanning half of Yin Kingdom and most of Jiuyang, and fighting for thousands of miles, which was truly shocking.
If it were any mediocre general, he would have chosen to defend Shuangbei City or break out of Tianxia Pass when surrounded by the Canglong Tribe and the seven-tribe coalition forces.
The ending is definitely annihilation.
Tang Wei easily made a detour and broke through the Canglang Valley. It seemed like he was heading towards a dead end, but in fact it was the only way to survive.
Not to mention that later on, they took advantage of the disunity of the Yang people, stormed Guxu City, and captured Canglong Khan... After achieving such a feat in a desperate situation where they should have been surrounded by the Yang people, all the nine tribes of Yang people could not sleep well.
All I can say is that he is worthy of the title of God of War.
The wind blew up, and the yellow sand was dazzling. Tang Wei smiled and said, "Thanks to Mr. Qi who led his army to rescue me. Otherwise, no matter how hard I struggled, I would have been buried in a foreign land."
What he said was true. If Qi Kunlun's troops had not broken through Tianxia Pass and inflicted heavy losses on the Canglong tribe, Jiuyang would definitely not have surrendered, and he would never have been able to come back.
Both the internal and external armies achieved victories beyond expectations.
"Haha." Qi Kunlun laughed loudly and patted Tang Wei's shoulder heavily, "Let's go home!"
Connect! Connect! Connect! Connect! Connect!
In the wind and sand, Qi Kunlun's troops pounded their shields and armor to welcome the return of Tang Wei's army.
The two armies gathered at the outside of Canglang Valley and slowly merged.
They will camp together not far from Frost North City, wait for the peace talks to be completed, and then withdraw to Tianxia Pass together.
The war will be over then.
Compared to the Northwest War thirty years ago, this time will be simpler.
only……
On a distant hillside, a man in white was looking at the scene of the military formation and suddenly sneered.
