Shaowu really hopes that Huwa will accept these heavy gifts. Even if he wants to reward Huwa, in the name of the official name of Bashi Kingdom, he may not be able to give out so many things at the same time. Since someone is willing to give benefits to Huwa, then
Don’t give it up for free! Before leaving, he also specifically said to Huwa: “All the major clans in the Yuanxiangshi Kingdom want to send gifts to junior brother in order to protect their family.︽∝Junior brother might as well accept them all, and it will be easy to teach.
They can rest assured. As for those things, you can do whatever you want with them."
As for what Shaowu is thinking deep down, no one knows, but he will never accept such a provocation, even in private! And Shaowu himself knows very well that Huwa's practice has reached an important stage.
If you take another step before the threshold, you may face the test of breaking through the six realms of cultivation. If you retreat to practice at this time, you don't know when you will be able to show up.
The reason why Huwa agreed to Shao Wu and was willing to take over the Golden Staff and the Red Festival was because he also knew that someone was needed to calm down the situation in Xiangshi Kingdom. On the other hand, according to Shao Wu's strategic plan, the army would be ready after spring.
Invading Zheng Shiguo. Huwa hated Zheng Gu and had long made up his mind to avenge Dajun, so of course he had to participate in this battle.
…
The capital was lost, and Yuxuan abandoned the city and headed west; Yuexuan's entire army surrendered, and news of Xiangqiong's death spread; the Bashi Kingdom army did not withdraw its troops after capturing Xiangdu City, but continued to advance westward under the supervision of Lord Pengkeng. Xiangshi Kingdom's
The morale of the army and the people was in turmoil. Before the Beidao clan took over the military power, the Shaowu army captured two more cities. After the Beidao clan became the commander-in-chief, they continued to lead the army and captured four more city walls.
There was little resistance from these city walls. Who could tell that the situation of the Xiangshi Kingdom was now over? Shaowu also had to thank Hongyuan for his pioneering work. When he continued to capture the six city walls in the west, the city lords of four of them were kidnapped on their own initiative.
of.
Of the eighteen city walls throughout the Xiangshi Kingdom, only the last three remain unconquered and are entrenched and defended by Yuxuan's shrinking force. These last three city walls are heavily guarded and occupy the strategic pass with favorable terrain.
They planned to fight to the death. According to Beidao's estimation, it would be more difficult to conquer the last three city walls than to conquer the already occupied Xiangshi Kingdom and other city walls in the entire territory.
At exactly this time, the envoy from Chiwangqiu found Shaowu and dissuaded him from destroying Xiangshi's country. The person who came was not Liang Yichen who rushed back to Chiwangqiu with Xiangqiong's son, but a man who lived in
Qi Xingheng, a monk in Batu City. Qi Xingheng is a native of Bashi country. In his early years, he was spotted by Elder Zhijie, one of the five elders of Chiwangqiu who was traveling, and he was given guidance on the secret method to enter the first stage of cultivation.
Qi Xingheng is now the person in charge of the descendants of Chiwangqiu in the Bashi Kingdom. As a Bashi countryman, he also respects Houlin and Shaowu and his son. This time he was ordered by the sect and after receiving a summons from Chiwangqiu.
He immediately went to the palace to see the young minister. The young minister not only received Qi Xingheng publicly at the court meeting, but also lowered his rank to greet him and personally welcomed him into the main hall.
Chiwangqiu is a sacred place for cultivation outside the world, and a large sect inherits the sect. On the surface, it is of course not suitable to openly interfere in the state affairs of Bashi Kingdom. Therefore, Qi Xingheng used the name of Bai Sha and a persuasive tone to ask the young minister to stop the troops and talk to the prime minister.
The peace talks between Shiguo and Shiguo were very beautifully said——
Xiangjun and Bajun are both descendants of Yanzhao. Why should brothers kill each other? It is an unjust act for each other to raise troops to invade the country. Now that he is dead, he should be blamed on himself. But Bajun raised a large army to counterattack the prime minister.
The Kingdom of Shi also occupies most of its territory. If we can teach you a lesson, the lesson is already enough.
Between brothers and clans, there is no need to put people to death and leave a place to protect themselves to support their clan members. Moreover, clan disputes do not need to involve all the people and suffer military disasters. If the two countries fight again, it will be a life-and-death war.
Those who have not yet surrendered are all loyal to the poor. You can ask the new king of Xiangshi Kingdom to send envoys to plead guilty, cede territory and seek peace to appease Bajun's anger and seek the welfare of all people.
Chi Wangqiu's meaning is not complicated. He just advises the Bashi Kingdom not to fight anymore and leaves the last place for the clan of the Xiangshi Kingdom so that they can continue to live their lives. Why do the descendants of Yan Zhao have to fight to the death? And the war is going on.
At this point, the next succession will not be as easy as before. In the end, the city walls that have not surrendered have concentrated all the forces loyal to Xiangshi Kingdom.
If Shao Wu wants to continue the fight, he will inevitably pay a much higher price than before, and it will cause too many casualties. Chi Wangqiu does not want to see this scene on Ba Yuan. If he wants to avenge his mutual hatred,
The young minister has done enough to tidy up Xiangshi Kingdom. He has captured so many city walls, opened up such a large country, and gained so many new people. The benefits he has gained are enough.
It is time to cease the war and negotiate for peace, and let the new monarch of the Xiangshi Kingdom send an envoy to apologize, and the young minister can put forward his own terms for peace talks.
After learning that Liang Yichen and Xiangqiong's son rushed to Chiwangqiu, the officials of Bashi Kingdom had long known that this day would come. Chiwangqiu's mediation and dissuasion seemed not excessive, and all the reasons were true. But the current situation on the front line
Everything is going well, Xiangshi Kingdom only has the last three city walls left. If they take advantage of the victory, capture the new king, and make him worship the young minister as the leader of the country, then Xiangshi Kingdom can be completely destroyed.
A truce and peace talks at this time will give the enemy a chance to breathe, leaving a huge hidden danger. The general of the Xiangshi Kingdom may still be able to stand up. Even if the Xiangshi Kingdom is destroyed in this battle, he still needs to be on guard.
The descendants of Xiangqiu launched a rebellion in order to restore the country, let alone completely destroy the country and capture the king?
When Qi Xingheng said these words, he saw that the faces of the ministers of Bashi Kingdom were not very good-looking, and he himself felt a little unsure. He was very worried that the young minister would accept and thank Chi Wangqiu's advice on the surface, but in the end
In fact, many unrealistic demands were made.
But what surprised him was that the Shaowu not only expressed his gratitude and respect to Chiwangqiu, but also nodded happily and agreed to the truce. For the peace talks, the Shaowu put forward two conditions. The first was that the Xiangshi Kingdom should be formally ceded to the Sixteenth State.
Zuochengjiao and Bashi Kingdom, including the original capital that had been renamed Xiangcheng by Shaowu.
Secondly, Shaowu agreed to set out three city outlines in the Xiangshi Kingdom, select one of the Xiangqiong disciples as his successor, and confer him the title of Prime Minister, enjoying the honor of ten nobles. These three city outlines are
This prime minister’s fiefdom.
As for ceding the city walls, there is nothing good about it. Regardless of whether the prime minister and his country agree with it or not, these city walls have been taken down by the young ministers, and there is no reason to return them. The three city walls are designated as the prime minister's fiefdom.
The three buildings that Bashi Kingdom has not yet captured are not easy to attack from the terrain point of view, and the defenders of the other side have stated that they will fight to the end. They are the last and hardest nut to crack.
However, it was impossible for Yuxuan to agree to accept the provision that Shaowu appoint Xiangqiong's son as "Xiangjun". Because in this way, the new Xiangjun would lose the basis for regaining the country in terms of etiquette and law.
More importantly, the so-called Xiangjun was granted the title of Shaowu, so in terms of status, he was the vassal of Shaowu. Although the so-called Xiangshi Kingdom still exists, there are only three city walls left in its fiefdom, and they can no longer be
Calling itself Ba Kingdom, it completely became a vassal state of Bashi Kingdom and nominally accepted the rule of Shaowu.
In fact, everyone knows that the Shaowu can't control those three city walls, and the new feudal Xiangshi Kingdom will be an independent country within the Bashi Kingdom. But what Shaowu wants is this result, let the Xiangshi Kingdom
From then on, it became a real Xiangshi Kingdom and could no longer claim to inherit the orthodoxy of the Ba Kingdom. It became a vassal state of the Bashi Kingdom in terms of etiquette and law, and Shaowu would become the lord of the entire territory of the original Xiangshi Kingdom.
Shao Wu accepted the suggestion of armistice and peace talks at the court meeting, and Qi Xingheng breathed a sigh of relief. Since there is a negotiation, of course it needs to be bargained, and then it depends on whether Yuxuan accepts Shao Wu's conditions? If he accepts it or not, Shao Wu will
What will be done? Talking back and forth may take a long time, and the back-and-forth negotiations may take several years.
Next, Chiwangqiu sent another envoy to the Xiangshi Kingdom. Of course, this envoy was Liang Yichen. But today the Xiangshi Kingdom is no longer what it was before. Most of the land is occupied by the Bashi Kingdom, and even the capital has been renamed.
For Xiangcheng. Liang Yichen's residence is in Xiangcheng, so he came here first, and then sent someone to notify Huwa - meaning to ask Huwa to take the initiative to see him.
Huwa holds a golden staff and a red festival to take care of things on behalf of the monarch. Since the two countries are negotiating peace, they must first stop the war on the front line, so Liang Yichen will say hello to him to confirm, and then go to Yuxuan to convey the latest news.
…
Huwa has been staying in Xiangcheng during this period and did not follow the army led by the Beidao clan to continue marching westward. He didn't even care about anything and just hid in the palace to practice.
Although Huwa can control the soldiers and civilians on the front line, he does not directly control the military power, and he does not want to interfere with how the Beidao clan directs the army in combat. As for the matter of appeasing the people, it is all left to Xiling, and Xiling handles it very well.
There is no need for him to point fingers. If you are in a frontline military camp, it will not only be inconvenient to practice Yin Shen, but also inconvenient to do many other things. It is better to stay in the palace.
Taking advantage of this free time, Huwa did something he had been doing all along, which was to continue to refine his stone egg magic weapon. Before leaving Wufuqiu, Huwa had already combined twelve stone eggs into a weapon.
He succeeded, and gave this magic weapon the edge of a sword, which could evolve into a sword formation after unfolding. Refining the weapon to this level was already his limit at the time, so he did not continue reluctantly.
Now that Huwa's cultivation has reached the completion of the Five Realms and Nine Transformations, he needs to confirm each secret method he has learned one by one, and weapon refining is one of them.
Refining weapons is just a means. If you want to successfully refine various magical weapons, you must have the corresponding level of cultivation. Success in refining weapons is an external result, which confirms the realm of your own cultivation. Huwa originally found eighty
A stone egg was intended to be combined into one weapon. Now his cultivation level is even higher. During this period of time in the palace, he has combined thirty-six weapons.
Combining a new stone egg with the original magic weapon is not only equivalent to refining a new magic weapon, but also becomes more and more difficult. Huwa is equivalent to refining the weapon thirty-six times in a row.
I never fail in the more difficult tests, and I never force myself. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
