The scene at this night is so shocking that even people who are used to seeing killings will feel cruel when they see it.
What's more, Xia Yan, a person from a different world of peace.
In the early morning of the next day, after retching for a long time, the overall situation was decided.
Su Ming was beheaded on the spot, and the former prince Su Xuan, who was in the dungeon, took the opportunity to take control of the government and fled to the north with the remaining remnants.
Nirvana City, the original capital of the Divine Phoenix Kingdom, also officially became the territory of Daxia.
According to Xia Yan's wishes, it may be time to stop here. Continuing to go deeper is not a good thing for Daxia. On the contrary, it may increase the battle damage because the supply line is too long.
Of course, the most important thing is because Xia Yan no longer wants to see such a scene.
At this moment, Su Xuan, the new leader of the Divine Phoenix Kingdom who was on the run, sent a letter to Xia Yan, expressing his hope to reconcile with Daxia.
Xia Yan and Huo Qubing both knew that although the Shenhuang Kingdom was in a bit of a mess at the moment, a emaciated camel was bigger than a horse.
In the north of the Divine Phoenix Kingdom, there are still 500,000 elite soldiers stationed. In terms of overall strength, the Divine Phoenix will still not lose to Daxia, but Su Xuan made his attitude extremely clear in the letter.
He placed all the blame on his younger brother Su Ming, and expressed that the Divine Phoenix Kingdom was willing to reconcile with Daxia as long as they did not owe anything to each other.
And every year they would pay tribute to Daxia with money and silver.
The meaning is also very clear. They will never think about going back to the three cities. They just hope that Daxia can stop fighting now.
In terms of geography, in fact, the current Divine Phoenix Kingdom is still larger than Daxia, but it is only hindered by the war in the north.
But even so, it was indeed the first time that a more powerful empire paid tribute to a weaker empire.
Although everyone including Xia Yan and Huo Qubing knew that people who could be so forbearing must be a big hidden danger.
But for Xia Yan, his goal had been achieved, and continuing would be tantamount to more killings, so he acquiesced to reconciliation.
"The three cities of Nanhuang, Tianhua, and Nirvana are under the jurisdiction of the Wolf King (Huo Qubing) from today on. The people of these three cities also need the Wolf King, and they must restore their former prosperity."
After saying this, Xia Yan didn't wait for Huo Qubing's reply, and left silently, stroking his chest.
He is not prepared to go to the Xidan battlefield anymore. Such a thing as a personal expedition is really not suitable for him.
After all, after experiencing this place personally, he understood that his own knowledge would not be of any use even on the battlefield.
Perhaps his greatest role is to work hard to provide the most thoughtful military support for the soldiers when they go on an expedition.
After returning to Hucheng, Xia Yan lay in bed for more than ten days without getting up.
The scenes in Nirvana City were so shocking that it still takes some effort to digest them.
During this period, Su Yue asked Xia Yan more than once what happened in Nirvana City, but Xia Yan avoided the topic in other ways.
Of course, although Xia Yan did not go to court, it did not mean that the court would stop working.
Due to the increase in the number of cities, today's court is no longer as standard as it used to be in Nanling, where you go home after working in the morning.
Nowadays, all officials are required to work during Chenshi (7:00-9:00). Even if they are not in court, they still need to handle government affairs in the council hall.
If you are going to court, you don't have to run away after quitting the court. Instead, you need to work until at least You hour (17:00-19:00) before you can run away.
In this way, the efficiency of work in the court has been greatly improved, and it will be much easier for Xia Yan to gather if he encounters any emergency.
During this period of time, Eunuch Luo was able to be buried with the dignity of a royal prince.
At the same time, a large-scale ceremony was held for Su Yong.
Su Yong was wearing a phoenix shawl and a phoenix crown on her head. She looked so solemn and decent. With her flawless face, everyone in the world was praising her.
However, when everything was developing in the opposite direction to perfection, news from the garrison in the direction of West Dan broke this perfection.
There are now less than thirty days left before the mission, but of the four cities that need to be captured in the plan, only the weakest one, Jinshui City, has been captured.
The second city was as if it were made of bronze and was impossible to capture.
This gave Xia Yan a headache, and he quickly sent people from Dongchang to investigate the cause.
Within two days, Xia Yan learned the real reason.
It turned out that because Hu Bu was born and had a high-ranking official position, all materials sent out by Hu Bu had to be "inspected" by He Shen first.
What is even more frightening is that not only grain and grass supplies He Shen will be involved, but also weapons and equipment and military supplies and silver will have to profit from it.
As a result, Jiang Han's arrows that were supposed to be delivered to the soldiers turned into ordinary rusty iron arrows.
Not to mention piercing into other people's armor, even some physically stronger people can't pierce through it.
This is especially true for long guns. The rusty gun heads are all those that have not been fully fired, which leads to a significant reduction in the military strength in the front.
If it weren't for the siege vehicles that Xia Yan brought to Zhuge Liang in the beginning, even the first and weakest Jinshui City would not have been able to be captured this time.
As the commander-in-chief of the Xidan garrison, Zhuge Liang naturally knew the dangers, so he wrote to Xia Yan several times in the hope of improving the situation.
But who would have thought that Heshen, who was the right prime minister of the Central Secretariat, directly withheld the envelopes of memorials from all the front lines.
This resulted in the battle on the frontline becoming more and more difficult, while Heshen became richer and richer.
After learning such a result, Xia Yan was speechless.
Now I have encountered a tough problem, what should I do?
According to the agreement, I can neither ignore Heshen nor punish Heshen, because I drew this thing to punish myself.
However, who can afford to play like this? I won’t be able to handle it if I keep playing like this!
Therefore, Xia Yan had no choice but to seek help from Huo Qubing, who was also in the north.
Nowadays, apart from Kecheng, many of the five cities that Huo Qubing made king were in a state of dilapidation and waiting to be renovated. Therefore, rebuilding their homes is the most important thing for Huo Qubing's soldiers.
On the contrary, weapons and equipment are not the most important thing.
So Xia Yan had no choice but to write to Huo Qubing to briefly explain the situation, and said that Huo Qubing could transport the weapons and equipment of the Divine Phoenix Kingdom captured this time to Zhuge Liang, the garrison in Xidan.
Xia Yan believed that Huo Qubing, a minister of S, would never let his fellow Daxia army live and die for the sake of some weapons and equipment.
Even if you can't devote yourself to death, you will never ruin the national affairs for the sake of small equipment.
These equipments of his will definitely be delivered to Zhuge Liang.
