Chapter 322: Peace Negotiation
When Shang Zhanchen heard Shen Yiyi say she would not go back, his face became even gloomier.
"You have to go back, it's too dangerous here."
Although the attacks on these two cities went smoothly recently, it is hard to say what will happen tomorrow. Chu Yunba and his men may have made a lot of preparations tonight.
If she encounters any danger, I won't have the energy to take care of her. It's not right for a girl like her to come to such a dangerous place.
"Don't worry, General Zhan. I can protect myself. Besides, we have Xiao Jiang. He is so good at martial arts and will protect me."
Shen Yiyi was anxious. It would be too boring if this was sent back to her.
"Xiao Jiang!" Shang Zhanchen narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked around again and then looked towards the back of the tent. Noticing his master's gaze, Jiang Zuo walked out with a grin on his face.
"General Zhan, hehe..." His smile was uglier than crying.
He had known for a long time that his master would not treat him well, but he had no choice. Who could control his Crown Princess?
Seeing General Zhan glaring at Xiao Jiang, Shen Yiyi directly stood in front of him.
"I insisted on coming here. It has nothing to do with Xiao Jiang."
"Yes, General Zhan, my eldest daughter is worried about your safety, so she followed you here secretly."
Jiang Zuo winked at his master as he spoke. He really couldn't stop him.
Shang Zhanchen glared at Jiang Zuo with dissatisfaction, but when he looked at Shen Yiyi, his tone softened.
"Be obedient, it's too dangerous here, go back to the barracks and wait."
"I won't!" Shen Yiyi pouted her lips and looked at the man with dissatisfaction with her neck.
Since she had no intention of going back, Shang Zhanchen could see it and knew her temper.
Even if he forcefully sent her back, she would probably run back. After hesitating for a long time, he finally looked at her again.
"You can stay, but you can only stay in the Huotou Camp and you are not allowed to run around."
"Okay, hehe..." Shen Yiyi smiled with her eyes curved.
That's good enough. This guy is really nice. Otherwise it would be too boring to go back.
Just as I was about to go back to the tent to sleep, Shang Zhanchen pulled me back.
"where are you going?"
"Go to sleep." Shen Yiyi pointed to the tent in front. The story she had just told was not finished yet.
Shang Zhanchen followed the direction of her finger and looked towards the tent in front of him, his face suddenly turned dark.
"Do you know that you are a girl?" He poked her forehead with gritted teeth.
It's not nice to hear a girl sleeping with a group of men, even if she doesn't take off her clothes.
"What's wrong!" Shen Yiyi glared at the man with dissatisfaction.
What's there to be afraid of when so many people sleep together? And they don't take off their clothes.
Seeing this woman being so ignorant, Shang Zhanchen was so angry that he really wanted to knock her head open to see what was going on in her mind.
But he also knew that it was useless to talk to him, so he just pulled her to his tent.
Shen Yiyi wanted to struggle, but knew it was useless, so she pouting and followed the man back to the tent.
Although I'm too lazy to live in the same tent with this guy, this environment is much better than other places.
Because it was a temporary camp, we only brought tents but no beds, so everyone slept on the ground.
But this man’s tent was different. Not only did it have a bed, it was also quite big. However, the two of them lay together.
It still feels a bit awkward, but when I remember that special circumstances require special treatment, I feel relieved.
What's more, they don't take off their clothes when they sleep, so I don't feel so awkward.
Maybe it was because he had run too much that day, for he was still muttering to Shang Zhanchen the last second.
There was no movement the next second. Looking at her sweet sleeping face, Shang Zhanchen curled the corners of his mouth.
"..."
What a little wild cat!
Such a big military camp couldn't contain her, so she had to run over here. If she returns to the palace with me in the future, I'm really worried that she won't be able to adapt to the life there.
After running dozens of miles today, everyone was tired and fell into a deep sleep.
But Chu Yunba was different. Even though he had retreated to the third city, he did not feel safe at all.
If the Shang army attacks the city tomorrow in the same way as before, they will have no ability to fight back.
What's more, they have been hungry until now and will not have the energy to fight tomorrow.
Although reluctant to admit it, they had to admit that if they continued, there would only be greater casualties and more cities would be lost.
After struggling for a long time, he finally picked up his pen, wrote a letter, and sent it back to the capital.
Even though they were unwilling, they had to negotiate peace in order to save their lives and to stop losing cities.
The letter was sent overnight. When the emperor received it, he was greatly shocked. He thought that the Shang army would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
I never expected that we would be counterattacked by the enemy, and now we have lost two cities.
According to General Chu, if peace talks are not held, the capital will be attacked soon, which makes the emperor very worried.
All the court officials were summoned without even waiting for the morning court session, as some of them were not in favor of war.
This is a good opportunity to propose peace talks. This is also the emperor's intention. The situation is so tense now.
Even those who advocated war did not dare to insist, so the court officials unanimously agreed to negotiate peace.
Shang Zhanchen and his men were unaware of this. After getting up early and eating and drinking their fill, they set out with their army.
The news was not learned until the army arrived at the third city, although it felt that it was a bit too fast.
But it was not too surprising. After all, the current situation was extremely bad for their Tiansheng Kingdom.
If they continue like this, it won’t be long before they reach the capital.
Shen Yiyi thought it would be like the previous two times, but before the fight even started, she heard the news of peace talks.
Although I felt a little disappointed, I was also very happy in my heart. As long as there is a war, there will be casualties. It would be best if no one died.
The following holidays were relatively leisurely. Accompanied by Jiang Zuo, Shen Yiyi searched for nine-leaf hollow lotus in the surrounding mountains.
Shang Zhanchen and General Su negotiated the terms of peace with the envoys sent by the other side.
After several days of fighting, the Tiansheng Kingdom was willing to give up a large amount of gold, silver and food in order to keep its city.
This is also what the country lacks most, so Shang Zhanchen also agreed. When they returned to the military camp with an army of nearly 200,000.
He also brought back a large amount of food and gold and silver, which made the soldiers very excited.
Once the peace agreement is signed, it means that the war is completely over, and as long as the other party does not tear up the treaty, there may be no more war in the future.
The wounded soldiers in the army were also very excited when they received the news, because it meant that they would be able to return home and reunite with their families soon.
By the time the news reached the capital, it was already two days later. The emperor got up early and attended the morning court as usual.
As soon as he sat down on the wheelchair, soldiers came rushing in to report the battle situation.
"Report to the Emperor, urgent delivery of 800 miles!"
It had been a long time since we heard about the battle situation. When we heard that it was an urgent mission of 800 miles, everyone was stunned.
Even the emperor was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
"Send it over quickly!"
