Three days later, Tianci heard that the result of the negotiation was out. It turned out that the Tufan troops withdrew one hundred and fifty miles and handed over nine of the twenty cities they had occupied in the north. The two sides no longer fought in the Central Plains. This was consistent with

What he had heard before was that the emperor's negotiations to at least force Tufan to return to the Northern Territory were completely different.

The result of this negotiation was that most of the northern region was handed over to Tufan. This was much worse than the situation when the Yuwen family was entrenched in the northern region. At least at that time, the entire northern region was in the hands of the imperial court, and King Yuwen was always stationed there.

The northern border has not invaded the Central Plains, and the Tufan Kingdom does not dare to covet the Central Plains. Now that it has driven away its own people, it has given away the great rivers and mountains to foreigners, and allowed the people of the Northern Central Plains to be ruled by foreigners. What is the reason?

He was puzzled. With the military and economic strength of the Dafeng Kingdom, it was impossible for the emperor to be so afraid of the Tufan Kingdom. Moreover, his purpose when he came was very clear, and he planned to give Tufan some benefits.

He was asked to retreat outside the Northern Territory to settle the matter, but I don’t know how such a big change happened in the end. Was the emperor under any threat?

In fact, he didn't know that during the negotiation, the secret weapon Deyong showed to Wu Shizhong shocked the Dafeng monarchs and convinced him that Tufan could attack most of the original areas. The rest of the negotiations were completely left to Tufan

Lord Fang, the original negotiated agreement was that Tufan would not give up any ground, but only promised not to attack southward. This result made Wu Shizhong lose his face and find it extremely difficult to accept, but he was afraid that Tufan would continue to attack the Central Plains, and he

Don't dare to refuse to continue negotiations easily. In a moment of dilemma, it is difficult to make a decision.

Later, General Huang Zhipeng quietly offered a plan to the emperor, saying that it was absolutely impossible for Tufan not to retreat. This made it impossible for the emperor to explain to the world that as long as Tufan retreated from the territory of hundreds of miles, it would be fine. In return, our court could conquer the Western Regions.

Seven cities can be exchanged, but it needs to be noted that the city is not under the control of the imperial court. Tufan can capture it on his own, but Dafeng and Tufan are not allowed to fight anymore in the Central Plains.

Wu Shizhong felt that this plan was very clever, so that he could use Tufan's help to eliminate this serious trouble. In the future, it should not be a problem to deal with Tufan in the long term, so he agreed to exchange this condition for Tufan to withdraw 150 miles.

However, this clause must be kept as a secret additional clause and shall not be known to outsiders.

Deyong agreed to this clause after a little thought. First, he felt that if he did not sell a face to Wu Shizhong, he would be sorry for the generous gift Wu Shizhong gave him; secondly, if he did not retreat even one step, Wu Shizhong would indeed be unable to do so.

To explain to the people; thirdly, he believed that as long as he captured the city, he would be invincible. The seven cities in the Western Region were much better than these barren places in the north. In this way, this made Dafeng Kingdom pay a huge price both overtly and covertly.

The armistice agreement was signed at a price.

Although Tianci did not know these inside stories, he was very desperate for what the imperial court had done. The soldiers fought tooth and nail to resist foreign humiliation, but were ruthlessly betrayed by the imperial court. They gave away a large area of ​​land, leaving the people in the north to continue to live in dire straits.

, this was absolutely unacceptable to him.

After the armistice, the Tufan army retreated to the north of the Changling River, and Dafeng sent troops to take over nine cities including Fengding County and Lushui County that the Tufan had withdrawn from.

After the Hussars General Huang Zhipeng and the Auxiliary General Jun Dingchao repatriated the troops sent by each king, they prepared to return to the court with their respective armies. Except for some of the new soldiers recruited for this battle, the rest were retained on the spot.

Disbanded and sent back to the original place.

Tianci resigned from Governor Wang on the grounds that he was also a recruit. Governor Wang was shocked and did not dare to let him go easily, so he immediately sent someone to report to General Huang.

Huang Zhipeng valued God-given talents very much and felt that this boy would be of great use in the future. If he could not serve himself and defected to others in the future, he would be afraid of endless troubles. He immediately summoned Zhang Tianci and said to him: "The country is in a state of crisis.

Amid internal and external troubles, it is the right time to hire people. When young talents like you are serving the country, why should you say goodbye?"

"We poor people only joined the army to fight against the enemy and serve the country because the country was in danger. However, due to our meager resources, even if we risked nine deaths to serve the country, it would be far difficult to reduce the disaster of authoritarianism and abuse of the country. Therefore, we have looked down on world affairs and returned home to work in the fields.

." Tianci immediately knelt down and replied.

Mr. Huang stepped forward to help Tianci up and said: "That's wrong. This armistice agreement is a temporary measure. You don't know the inside story, so you can't talk nonsense. It's not easy to persuade the Tufan to withdraw their troops this time. Your Majesty, Your Majesty,

I have adopted the suggestion of Wei Chen, first use the barbarians to control the rebellion, and use the native tribes to destroy the rebel party. If the two evils invade each other, one of them will be injured. When the time comes, the court will take advantage of the situation, and it will get twice the result with half the effort. If you are willing to continue to serve the old minister

, I will definitely entrust you with the important task of assisting the imperial court in completing this great cause and accomplishing great feats."

After Tianci heard what he said, he looked up at Mr. Huang and begged him for clarification with his eyes.

Mr. Huang had no choice but to tell Tianci about the additional terms in the armistice agreement. He told Tianci that Tufan might attack the Western Regions in the near future. It should be easy for Tufan to win the Western Regions, but Deyong had a relationship with Yuwen Haotian, and King Yuwen

As his brother-in-law, Deyong might not kill King Yuwen completely, but would probably let King Yuwen go south. The first city after the Western Regions entered the pass was Quyang County. Although it was a small town with a population of less than 70,000, it had a great influence on preventing the rebels from going south.

crucial role.

"So, I want to appoint you to Quyang County to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Western Region Army, and to command the eight thousand local garrison. The main purpose is to follow up and observe the war in the Western Regions. Once the war changes, you must make timely response measures.

Stop and destroy King Yuwen's army outside the pass, and then the imperial court will send troops to assist." Lord Huang said to Tianci.

After hearing this, Tianci was secretly surprised, thinking that the imperial court was so shameless. In order to suppress the rebellion, they actually handed over the northern and western regions to Tufan, and even sent troops to help Tufan eliminate these Central Plains patriots. Zhenno

It is tolerable, but what is unbearable?

However, he thought again that this was an opportunity. If he could be stationed at the western pass, he could support Kirihara City from the rear in a roundabout way at critical times, or even directly join forces with the Western Regions to drive Tufan out.

After Tianci made up his mind, he expressed his willingness to accept General Huang's proposal. However, he made a request, which was to bring a battalion of cavalry with him to take office. General Huang was overjoyed and immediately agreed. After all, his army was not bad.

He immediately asked Tianci to collect these two to three hundred men and horses, and he could set off the next day. When Tianci arrived in Quyang County, the appointment letter from the imperial court had also arrived.

After Tianci paid homage to General Huang, he returned to the barracks and ordered Lieutenant Liu Jijin to order the three cavalry battalions he led, a total of 280 people, to get ready and go with him to Quyang County to take office.
