Chapter seventy-six finale
After Li Mingyuan's surrender, Pang Tong asked Vinson to lead his troops into the territory. The top leaders of the Tanglong Empire were feeling uncomfortable and restless every day. There were no more armies in the empire, and the troops in various territories could not be mobilized. Who knew that there were still many remnants of the Light Empire hidden in the empire. Each territory maintained the lowest security force, and there were only tens of thousands of defenders left in the capital, which could not stop the large-scale attack of the God-Fighting Empire.
"Prince Liu, how about you talking to them?" Li Tian said, rubbing the teacup in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the price of peace talks is very high. Can we afford it?" Liu Changzhou knew how much the Ming Emperor had paid in exchange for peace. I am afraid they would have to live in the shadow of the Chinese Empire for hundreds of years.
"What's the solution? Can you be beaten to pieces like the Dark Empire?" Li Tian had just received the battle report from the Dark Empire, and naturally knew that the Dark Empire had disappeared, leaving only civil strife in each territory. However, this is also a great opportunity to negotiate with the Fighting God Empire. After paying a part of the price, he can get it back from the Dark Empire.
Liu Changzhou also understood what Li Tian was thinking, "Since Your Majesty has decided, I won't say much. Please give me instructions," Liu Changzhou said.
"Okay, Prince Liu will be responsible for this peace talks. As long as we can maintain the army, we will have a chance to turn things around. The prince must fight for it," said Li Tian.
"I do my best," Liu Changzhou was really dissatisfied. If you say you want to fight, you will fight for it. Now they are a victorious country, not yourself. You are taking the blame for everything. You are really relaxed, as a king.
After receiving the order, Liu Changzhou left the imperial capital and went to face the army of the God-Fighting Empire.
"Master General, there was a group of people in front of us blocking our way, saying that it was the envoy of the Tanglong Empire's peace talks," the guards came to report.
"Well? We've negotiated peace so soon, they can't help but fight. Coward, okay, please invite them in," Vinson said.
After a while, Liu Changzhou was brought in. "I have met Marshal Wensen. This is Mr. Fengchu. Liu Changzhou is polite here." Liu Changzhou bowed to the two of them. Of course, Liu Changzhou knew that Pang Tong, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Chinese Empire, liked to help the God-Fighting Empire with a pseudonym Fengchu. No wonder this time it failed. Heaven was destined.
"It turned out to be Prince Liu. I heard that you were very active before the war. Why didn't you rest well now and run out again?" Vinson sneered at Liu Changzhou and laughed at him for going back and forth to find allies before the war, but he was defeated in the end.
"It's just for the empire." Liu Changzhou originally wanted to go back a few words, but when he thought he couldn't anger them, he had to murmur.
"Okay. Marshal Vinson. Everyone has their own position. Let's not talk about Prince Liu. Prince Liu, your coming this time means that the Tanglong Empire has surrendered?" Pang Tong went to the nail on the head.
"I'm here to have a peace talk this time. I hope both sides can discuss compensation under equal conditions." Liu Changzhou blushed when he said this. He had already won. What conditions are there to say equality?
"Defeat is defeat. If it really doesn't work, we will fight to the bottom of your imperial capital. Isn't that enough?" Vinson said loudly. I have never seen such a stubborn person.
"Prince Liu, how do you want to compensate?" Pang Tong didn't care about Liu Changzhou's words for the sake of face. The facts are facts and cannot be changed by mouth.
"In order to make up for the losses of this Fighting God Empire, we are willing to cede land and pay compensation, and let the prince serve as the proton. We can accept the tribute every year. However, we hope to redeem the army and redeem it at a price twice as high as the mainland," said Liu Changzhou.
"Haha, I don't know if Prince Liu heard of the compensation plan for the Ming Emperor's Empire. Why don't we just follow their own kind? It's simple and easy to save trouble. What do you think?" Pang Tongyi knew what Tang Long Empire was trying to pay attention to.
"This," Liu Changzhou was in a dilemma. Most of the Tanglong Empire could agree to the contract in the future. However, the issue of restriction of the army was impossible. If the army was restricted, how could it occupy the land of the Dark Empire? "Mr. Feng Chu, this condition is probably not suitable. After all, we can also say it is a big empire. If the number of troops is insufficient, it will easily cause some snobs to peep. This one should be changed," Liu Changzhou said tentatively.
"Okay, please keep these questions and talk to professionals. However, the redemption of prisoners of war may take some time. Remember that if you are twice the price at that time," Pang Tong said with a smile. He had never thought of overcoming the Tang Long Empire. The Tang Long Empire is different from the Ming Emperor. The Tang Long Empire is larger than the Ming Emperor, and the Chinese Empire needs the Tang Long Empire to restrain the God-Watching Empire.
Pang Tong asked Vinson to send troops to send Liu Changzhou and the others to the country, and passed on his own meaning back, and then found a nearby city to occupy and settle down. This place is only one day away from the imperial capital of the Tanglong Empire, and you can fight at any time.
The Fighting God Empire has basically won completely. As for the rest, the problem is the Fighting God Empire’s own territory. Pang Tong has already started packing up his luggage and bringing his troops back to his country.
"Mr. Fengchu, won't you return to the imperial capital this time?" Vinson asked.
"Yeah, I won't go back. Remember to ask His Majesty Kratos and Prince Bourne for me." Pang Tong said.
"Mr. Fengchu, you just left like this. What if something happens?" Vinson was used to relying on Pang Tong. Pang Tong suddenly left, and he was a little unconfident.
"Marson Vinson, you have been worried too much. The Ming Emperor's Empire has surrendered and the Dark Empire is gone. Facing a half-dead Tang Long Empire, what else are you worried about?" Pang Tong smiled.
Although Vincent was reluctant, Pang Tong still took Li Yuanba and the others away the next day, and the war was about to come to an end.
Zhao Yun and Pang Tong almost returned to the Forbidden City, and Yuwen Tianci greeted them together.
A large number of civilians came outside the city to welcome the two armies that had returned from victory. Among the people, there was a man in black robe in the corner watching the returning team quietly. Looking at Jonado, who was imprisoned in the prison car in the middle of the team, he understood that his backer had fallen. He touched the magic scrolls in his arms, which was useless. Now he needed to find a new boss. It turned out that a lord of the emperor was very hostile to Yuwen Tianci, and he was quite capable. Go and have a look. The man in black robe disappeared into the alley behind.
"Pang Qing family, Zhao Qing family, Li Qing family, thank you for your hard work this time," Yuwen Tianci met them in the hall.
"Share your worries," Pang Tong and his men knelt down and saluted.
"This time, the Pang Qing family helped the Fighting God Empire defeat the Tang Long Empire, and was awarded the first-class Zhiyong Gong, and rewarded 100 taels of gold. The Zhao Qing family fought for the empire and was awarded the first-class Zhongyong Gong, and rewarded 100 taels of gold and a thousand acres of fertile land, and... " Yuwen Tianci rewarded each of the generals who went to the expedition, and everyone was very happy.
After resigning from the court, Yuwen Tianci called Pang Tong and the other two to the harem, and it was necessary to formulate the development of the empire in the next stage.
"Your Majesty, now there is no dark empire, and there is no one to defend the Canyon of Undead, so there may be problems." Pang Tong said something he was worried about.
"The Canyon of the Undead is a hot thing. I'm afraid no empire is willing to take over," Yuwen Tianci knew about this.
"Your Majesty, in fact, we can invite the undead to take over the pass of the Undead Canyon. They can not only serve as the first line of defense in the Undead Land, but also supervise the undead entering and leaving the Undead Land for us, and do not let those evil undead come out. With the undead stationed, there will probably be no undead invasion again," Pang Tong said his plan.
"Well, it's a good idea. I'll talk about this to the dead," Yuwen Tianci thought about it and it's a solution. "What should I do if Jonado was captured this time, and what should I do if Zhu Yun, the host of the Ming Emperor?"
"Your Majesty, Jonado is already a king who has lost his country and has no effect anymore. However, his influence is still there. We cannot simply kill him. Let's keep him in captivity. As for Zhu Yun, it's enough to imprison him in the imperial capital. If we want to do anything, we can use him as a means," Zhang Liang suggested.
"Well, okay, just do what you said, find a place to imprison Jonado, and Zhu Yun can do whatever he wants, but people should monitor him and not let him do anything," Yuwen Tianci nodded and said, "What should I do if there is so much land in the Dark Empire? Let's keep it in turmoil?" Yuwen Tianci remembered the land of the Dark Empire.
"Your Majesty, it is not what we need, and that land has been targeted by the orcs, the God of Fighting Empire and the Tang Long Empire at the same time. In addition, the armed forces within their empires, it is probably not easy for us to go in this muddy water. As they pay attention to it, we can take the opportunity to develop it. When they know that the land is so easy to obtain, their energy has been almost exhausted there," said Zhuge Liang, who did some research on it.
Yuwen Tianci thought a little bit. This is not much like the Middle East on Earth. It is a quagmire. No one can get out of it easily when they go in. But it’s okay, it’s just to find something for other empires to do. If they trap them there, they can take the opportunity to develop themselves. "Well, I know, we don’t care about it and focus on developing the empire. The large amount of documents Zhao Yun brought back from the Dark Empire were handed over to the Magic Academy to organize them and use them in teaching as soon as possible, so that the undead should pay attention to it, and do not have any problems. These compensations and treasures plundered will be used as soon as possible in national construction. Our newly added territory will improve the management of officials as soon as possible. You can all make more snacks in these things," Yuwen Tianci ordered.
"I will obey the order," Pang Tong and the others received the order. (To be continued,)
