The breeze blows on the face, and the air is filled with joy. A flower slowly blooms, and the joyful bird chirps accordingly. People wake up from their sleep and appear on the street in high spirits.
Boom!
A man with a face full of joy beat the gongs and drums, and with a moment of confusion, the two groups of lion dancers began to swim around, firecrackers went off, and people rushed to applaud and applaud. The scene was very lively.
"We are victorious!"
Everyone shouted, their hearts filled with pride, and it proved that their strength was unchallengeable. Those dead souls could finally rest in peace, and people no longer had to worry, and everything would be fine.
And this lively place is Dongdi. Since Hu Jun led his troops to attack Mingcheng, they have not slept peacefully for a day. They are afraid that the demon clan will penetrate into Dongdi, and they are afraid that Hu Jun will be defeated by Beidi and even lose a lot of benefits. Now They can feel at ease because Hu Jun won. Not only did he win, but he also made the Tang family more prestigious. They were so proud that they celebrated today.
There was a commotion outside the Tang family, but it was quiet inside the Tang family. Tang Can looked at the serious faces of all the clan leaders, and his mind was full of thoughts. He had been paying attention to the trends all day since the war started, and he didn't take much rest, but when he heard After Hu Jun captured Ming City, he felt much calmer.
Tang Can knew that although the battle was won, every next step would be difficult. Any choice might involve innocent people. War is terrible. Fighting a war consumes many people and requires many people. Being homeless is not what he wants.
"Fellow clan leaders, now we have taken Ming City with our scriptures, but the Zhou family has not responded at all. Do you think we should advance with a large army, or should we rest and prepare for the attack?"
The clan chiefs looked at each other and talked a lot. Some people advocated aggression, some advocated peace, and one clan leader said: "Chief, it is autumn now, and the northern land is severely cold all year round. Our soldiers can't stand the climate there for a while. , a lot of variables will definitely happen, in my opinion, it’s better to call a truce.”
"Yes, many soldiers have suffered from heat and cold diseases due to the influence of the climate. If we don't make a decision, let alone fight, all the 100,000-strong army will become ill."
Tang Can listened very seriously, and was calculating the key points in his heart. This time he decided to send troops to the Zhou family at once, without too much preparation. He had not thought about the climate in the north. Now that it has been a month, the soldiers It will definitely be uncomfortable there. If we fight against the Zhou family, they will definitely defeat us.
But a truce is so easy. The Zhou family will definitely not give up. What should we do now?
"Chief, I have an idea."
Listening to Chen Hao's speech, Tang Can and everyone looked at him, and then said: "Speak quickly."
Chen Haodao: "Chief, we have been fighting with the Zhou family for decades. In countless battles, we have been able to turn enemies into friends for the sake of profit. Although we sent troops recklessly this time, it also allowed both the Gao and Zhou families to see our strength. I I think they will definitely not act rashly."
"What do you mean?"
"Since they don't dare to act rashly, we can put our interests first and make a truce. Firstly, it will protect the people of the North from disaster, and secondly, for the peaceful development of the people of the East. As long as they have no dealings with the demon clan, we can send envoys I will go to the north to make peace. If they persist in their stubbornness, we will use a large army to suppress them. I believe that the Zhou family is also a sensible person, so naturally they do not want to go to war with us, so they will definitely make peace."
"Patriarchs, do you think Chen Hao's method is feasible?"
The clan leaders discussed for a while, some supported it and some did not support it. Both sides had mixed opinions. Some people said that if we take the initiative to make peace, it would appear that we are passive. Then the Zhou family will definitely notice that something is wrong and there will probably be a counterattack.
Some people say that supporting Zhuhe will not only make the Tang family look grand, but also show the Tang family's determination not to advocate war and truly seek benefits for the people of both sides.
Tang Can saw that no one had any good ideas, and his face didn't look good. He was a little angry in his heart. He was about to reprimand when he was interrupted by a private, and then looked at the private.
"Inform the leader, the Zhou family will send envoys here."
Tang Can was delighted when he heard this and said, "I was worried about how to solve the problem. Now it's better. The Zhou family came to the door themselves and asked the envoy to come in. I want to hear what the Zhou family means."
The envoy slowly walked into the court and saw Tang Can sitting in the hall. He saluted and said, "I have met the leader of the East!"
Tang Can saw that the envoy was a little arrogant and felt a little unhappy. He wanted to show off to the envoy and said angrily: "Bold Zhou family, our country in the East treats you very well. Why did you collude with the demon clan to kill my people and almost do it?"
I have sacrificed my son's life, and now as long as I give an order, the cavalry from the East will trample your Northland, why do you still have the nerve to send your envoy here, and what are your intentions?"
Seeing Tang Can like this, the envoy suddenly burst out laughing and said, "Everyone says that Dongdi Tang Can is a wise master, but now it seems that he is just confusing right and wrong!"
"Arrogant boy, how dare you say such things about the leader."
Tang Can said: "Aren't you afraid that I will fry you alive?"
The envoy said: "Now that I have arrived, I have already taken life and death lightly. I just wanted to establish my foundation in the Northern Territory for several years and suppress the demon clan all the year round. Unexpectedly, I was used by someone with ulterior motives. This made me in the Northern Territory bear a bad name and I am a leader.
You have betrayed your people!"
"I, Tang Can, have a wise life and will never send out troops at will. However, various evidences show that your Zhou family is colluding with the demon clan. How can I still wrongly blame you?"
"My lord Sheng Ming is incompatible with the demon clan. Today my lord asked me to come here to prove my innocence. The demon clan is ever-changing and there are fish that slip through the net all the year round. If an ordinary murder case is implicated in our Northland, it will be terrible.
You really underestimated us."
"Our two families have been fighting for many years, and there have been countless battles, big and small. You have always let the demon clan go to my east, and run rampant. Isn't this enough to teach you a lesson?"
"The continent is so big and full of wonders. How could my lord start a war because of a trivial matter? Chief, you underestimate my lord. The demon clan has big demons and small demons. Although our army suppresses the border, occasionally there are small demons who escape.
, and this time my lord thought that it was the trap deliberately set by the demon clan that caused this unnecessary misunderstanding. If we continue to fight, we will only lose both sides and allow the demon clan to take advantage of it, so my lord asked us to eliminate it.
There is a misunderstanding, so I offer a monster to show my sincerity."
Tang Can's face was expressionless, and he felt a lot more relaxed when he looked at the corpses of the goblins on the ground. This was an opportunity to make peace, but he couldn't show it.
"Forget it, since your Lord came here specially, I am not a stingy person. I can retreat, but I have a condition."
"My lord would like to hear the details!"
"From now on, I don't want to see monsters appear in the East Land. Not only that, you also have to compensate for the loss of my East Land this time, and you have to make offerings to my East Land every year. Can your Lord agree?"
The envoy hesitated for a while, but for the sake of the future of the Northland, he still risked his life and agreed to Tang Can, saying: "In this case, I will go back and tell my lord that peace is the most precious thing."
Watching the envoy leave, Tang Can said: "Pass my order to ask Hu Jun to withdraw from Mingcheng, inform the people of this agreement, and convey my power to the East."
Zhou Zhitong was furious and Tang Can won. Both parties had similar intentions and both placed their hopes on their son. However, Tang Yunfeng also made great progress and never disappointed anyone.
