The front line was full of good news, and Nanliang retreated step by step. Fang Yu, the Minister of War, was in the capital.

He is a spy from Nanliang. What should he do if Nanliang perishes?

But the bad news finally came. Long Chen destroyed Nanliang and became a homeless dog.

All the officials in the court were very happy and walked home. Fang Yu was worried and talked to the officials next to him without saying a word.

When I got home, my family was celebrating.

Fang Yu went into the study alone and sat under the lamp to think.

Maybe this is a good thing, Nanliang is gone, as long as I destroy my offline line, no one will know about me.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu took out a sharp dagger, changed his clothes, and went out quietly.

...

True Fire City.

Li Zhaoliang lived in a tent, and the soldiers dug holes to cook. Many people had no food and asked the soldiers for grain and rice. The soldiers refused to give it to them. There was a fierce conflict between the two sides.

Li Zhaoliang was worried about a civil rebellion, and if the people rebel at this time, they would be doomed.

"You go and share some military rations to the people."

Li Zhaoliang ordered Huairen to appease the people, but Huairen said worriedly: "Master, we don't have much military ration."

Li Zhaoliang said helplessly: "Do you want to force them to rebel?"

Huairen had no choice but to distribute military rations to appease the hungry people.

"Why haven't this Yu Fuguo come back yet?"

Li Zhaoliang was anxious and paced in the tent.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Yu Fuguo hurried in, with a happy expression on his face and said, "Emperor."

When Li Zhaoliang saw Yu Fuguo's face was full of joy, he happily held him and asked, "How?"

Yu Fuguo worshipped: "I asked Emperor Hong Fu, Long Chen and the Empress to agree, and they are willing to return the city of Jinling."

"Just...they demand war reparations."

When Li Zhaoliang heard that Long Chen was willing to return Jinling, he felt suspicious. Things were going too well, which was not normal.

After hearing the latter sentence, Li Zhaoliang felt it was more reasonable.

“How much do you want?”

Li Zhaoliang did not resist losing money. As long as he could protect Jinling, everything could be discussed.

Yu Fuguo looked puzzled and said, "According to 5 million taels of silver, 500,000 silk, and 100,000 magic-squeezing stones every year."

After hearing this, Li Zhaoliang was silent and said, "The Eastern Zhou Dynasty occupied half of Daliang and asked for so much wealth, how could I afford it?"

If Qingren County is bounded, half of Nanliang's territory falls into the hands of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the financial resources cannot support the compensation.

Yu Fuguo said: "The old slave said the same thing, but the empress insisted on so much."

"Actually... Long Chen still has feelings for Jinling. The tombs of their ancestral families are all in Jinling."

"This time, the protection of Daliang and the return of Jinling are all due to Long Chen. The empress actually wants to completely annex Daliang."

Li Zhaoliang nodded slightly and said, "Long Chen was born in Daliang and grew up in Daliang. If the emperor had not treated the Long family badly, he would have been our Daliang God of War."

"But the amount of the compensation is too large, and I'm afraid I can't afford it."

Yu Fuguo secretly scolded Li Zhaoliang for being a financial slave in his heart, and he still couldn't bear to bear the money at this time.

"Your Majesty, I have an explanation." www.Bayizw.????m

Li Zhaoliang nodded and said, "You said."

Yu Fuguo said: "No matter whether you can pay or not, please agree first."

Li Zhaoliang frowned and said, "I can't agree and it will anger the empress. Long Chen will not be able to protect Daliang."

Yu Fuguo comforted: "Emperor, after Jinling was captured, the ghost elixir returned to the Ice Field, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will soon start a war with the ghost clan."

"At that time, the empress will be too busy to take care of herself, so how can she have any skills to care about us?"

"To deal with the ghost clan, you must rely on Long Chen. The old slave means that the emperor only needs to make friends with Long Chen, and you can agree to any other conditions."

"Even...even said that if the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Ghost Clan both suffered losses, it would not be a luxury for us to recover our country."

"The most important thing now is to keep the big beam."

Li Zhaoliang felt that Yu Fuguo was right, and Long Chen had a great grudge against the ghost clan.

According to rumors, the ghost ulterior motives are targeting Long Chen and the Empress.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Ghost Clan will definitely go to war, and there will be a chance to turn the tables.

"right..."

Just as Li Zhaoliang was about to agree, Huairen came in from outside.

When Huairen saw Yu Fuguo, he immediately asked.

Yu Fuguo said from beginning to end, and Huairen asked, "Do you have to go to Jinling in person? Can they withdraw their troops first?"

Li Zhaoliang immediately nodded and said, "Yes, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's troops are still there, and I am scarce. If the empress repents, I will be in danger!"

Yu Fuguo thought to himself: Huairen is really in trouble, so he should kill him on the way.

Yu Fuguo immediately said: "The old slave must discuss this matter with Long Chen again. According to Lao Nu, there should be no problem. Long Chen is anxious to withdraw his troops north."

Huairen said: "No, you must confirm first, and then the emperor can set off."

Yu Fuguo immediately said, "Okay, I'll go now. Can Lord Huai go with our family?"

Yu Fuguo wanted to kill Huairen halfway, such as poisoning and having diarrhea.

Huairen was afraid of Long Chen and immediately said, "The emperor needs someone to help me, please don't let Eunuch Yu go there."

Yu Fuguo said regretfully: "Mr. Huai is proficient in government affairs, so it is best to go with him."

Huairen politely declined: "Eunuch Yu is in charge of the Imperial City Department, and the peace talks are better than me."

When Yu Fuguo saw that Huairen was not taking the bait, he stopped talking.

Too much talk will lead to mistakes, and too much talk will easily cause suspicion.

"I'll go now."

Li Zhaoliang held Yu Fuguo's hand and comforted him: "Don't give up on your hard work. After this matter is completed, my father-in-law will be the first contribution."

Huairen felt a little sad. What contribution can he have to do with such a loss of power and humiliation of the country?

Yu Fuguo worshipped: "The emperor trusts him, how dare I not do my best?"

After saying that, Yu Fuguo came out of the tent.

After leaving the central army's tent, Lu Ji and Yu Fuguo met in the north.

"If you go and report to the Lord, you will say that Li Zhaoliang proposed to withdraw his troops first."

"Sir, can you tempt Li Zhaoliang into the city by pretending to retreat? "

Yu Fuguo was tired of running and wanted Lu Ji to take a trip.

Lu Ji said, "Okay, I'll go now."

Lu Ji did not refuse and immediately went to Jinling.

In the central army's tent, after Yu Fuguo left, Huairen said: "Emperor, this matter is important. You should not believe in the same-spoken words of Yu Fuguo. You must send someone to inquire."

Huairen actually never believed in Yu Fuguo very much.

Li Zhaoliang also felt it made sense and said, "Yes, please send someone to inquire immediately."

Huairen immediately left the tent, returned to his tent, found a smart soldier, and ordered: "I'll give you an errand, I'll get a lot of rewards."

The soldier immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Huai for your support, please give me instructions."

Huairen said: "You go to Jinling immediately to see the movements of the Eastern Zhou army and whether to withdraw from Jinling."

The soldiers got the order and immediately left the tent, circled around for a few times, and found Yu Fuguo.

"Dad, Huairen sent a young man to inquire whether the Eastern Zhou army in Jinling retreated."

This soldier was also a detailed work of Yu Fuguo's installation, but Huairen regarded it as his own.

Yu Fuguo sneered: "It's okay, you can just rest here for a few days. Then you can just say as our family means."

The soldier immediately bowed: "Subsidiary obeys the order."
