He had only been sleeping for more than an hour, and a subordinate came down to report: "The patriarch of the Tangji tribe led the elders to ask to see the prince." ”

Last night's incident was so big, and the imperial army deliberately spread the news again, and the headquarters of the Yuji tribe soon heard the news.

After discussing in the middle of the night, the patriarchs and elders, whether they were painful or not, willing or unwilling, had clearly realized that making peace was their only choice!

Seeking peace may be humiliating and humiliating, but it can keep and continue the race.

If you continue to resist, there is only one result: extermination.

Between "survival" and "dignity", they choose to survive, because it is not a matter of their individual survival, but the survival of the whole race.

As Prince Yuki once said, what they need most is not fairness and justice, but survival and continuity.

Qiu Guhan was still very tired, but he still sat up: "Immediately call all the cadres to the meeting." ”

In the council hall, the patriarch of the Yuji tribe with six elders was already seated.

The Yuiso tribe is governed by a patriarch and twelve elders.

One of the twelve elders committed suicide in protest against the imperial court.

Two people were killed in previous wars.

Two were the leaders of the militant faction and were killed in the rabbit hole last night.

There was also one elder who did not show up.

Now one patriarch and six elders are qualified to represent the entire tribe.

After Qiu Guhan was helped out with a pale face, both sides did not despise each other, but politely saluted and greeted.

Then, the main generals of the imperial army came over, and after the two sides met each other, they began to negotiate peace.

Talking about peace is very smooth.

As an absolutely weak and peace-seeking party, the Yuji tribe did not dare to make too many demands, only two points.

First, pardon the entire tribe for all its sins before and during this war, and hold no one accountable.

Second, allow tribes to rebuild their homes or leave them.

Qiu Guhan readily agreed to these two requests, and he only put forward one point: from now on, the Yuji tribe must abide by the laws and orders of the imperial court, and if it feels unfair or impossible to do it, it can only be resolved through normal channels, and he, as a prince, will definitely assist the tribe's reasonable requests.

It can be said that Qiu Guhan made considerable concessions in this peace talks.

Because, the matter of pardoning the tribe is not something that he can decide, but something that only the emperor can decide.

He agreed to the tribe's request, so he had to find a way to convince the emperor, but in fact, he was in big trouble for himself.

The patriarch of the tribe looked at him: "Lord Wang, you can guarantee that these two items will definitely be done?" ”

It's not that he underestimates this Prince Xing, but this Prince Xing is too young, even if he wins this war, his foundation is still not deep, and he can really persuade the emperor to forgive all the sins of the tribe?

Qiu Guhan looked directly at him: "This king will definitely do what he says!" If you can't, this king is willing to bear all the blame on your tribe's behalf! ”

As soon as these words came out, Mo said that the Tangji tribe, that is, the generals of the imperial court, was also shocked.

The country is so big, and a Tangji tribe of tens of thousands of people is really not a great thing, why did the prince do this?

After the patriarch looked at him deeply for a few times, he slowly stood up with his crutches and knelt down slowly: "Little Lao'er has thanked the prince here!" ”

Seeing this, the other elders also stood up and knelt down one after another: "We will definitely remember the great kindness of the prince." ”

Qiu Guhan didn't rush to let them get up, but looked directly at them, and said in a stern tone: "You also have to promise me that your tribe must not hold a grudge against the court and secretly rebel again, otherwise, this king will definitely personally set foot on your tribe!" ”

Last night, they killed thousands of tribal militants in one go, almost all of them young men and elite warriors of the tribe, and their relatives and friends inevitably held grudges.

If these people's feelings are suppressed and alleviated, then it is fine, but if these feelings are stirred up and strengthened, it will be a hidden danger in the future.

"Don't worry, the prince." The patriarch said, "It would be a lie to say that there is no one in my clan who does not hold grudges, but Xiao Lao'er promises that the vast majority of people in my clan can put the overall situation first, try their best to maintain the peace of their clan, and will never let the same thing happen again!" ”

"If someone does not give up and intends to rebel," his tone was also solemn and sonorous, "I and the patriarchs will definitely not let the situation deteriorate, and we will definitely not be soft!" ”

The other patriarchs expressed the same attitude.

Qiu Guhan's gaze swept across their faces like a knife, and then patted the armrest: "Okay, this king believes in you." ”

This is how the two sides came to an agreement.

Then the two sides discussed many details of the aftermath.

In less than an hour, the peace talks ended smoothly.

After Qiu Guhan entertained the patriarch and his entourage for dinner, he sent troops to escort the patriarch and his entourage back to the clan, and at the same time announced the end of the war to the whole army, and the court won a complete victory.

Amid the cheers, he ordered the withdrawal of troops blocking and searching the canyon forest and the entire Yuiso Mountains, no longer making any deployments and fighting against the Yuiso tribe, and ordering the local army to assist the Yuiso tribe in rebuilding their homeland.

Three days later, when all the troops gathered, he ordered the Beijing army to organize their belongings, count the number of people, and prepare for the return of the division.

The imperial army was wounded a lot, but the death toll was less than eight thousand, and most of the injured had been healed after treatment, and those who had not yet recovered were slowly treated on the road, and they should be almost better when they arrived in the capital, so that the total number of casualties did not exceed one-third, and he completed the task.

A few days later, he led the Jingshi army and embarked on the road back to Beijing.

At this time, it was less than five months before he led the army to leave the capital, and under normal circumstances, he would definitely be able to return to the capital in triumph within the time limit of "half a year".

The whole army was greatly encouraged, and felt that as soon as they woke up, they would lie in their nests in the capital, enjoying the peace and tranquility that had been lost for a long time.

However, Qiu Guhan, who was sitting in the carriage because of his internal injuries, looked at the blue sky through the open curtain, his brows were deeply locked, and he did not have the joy and relief of the soldiers.

It's autumn, there are many mountains and forests along the road, and the autumn wind is also strong.

Mountains near and far, high and low.

Birds flew in the sky.

It's also a good time for the "Birdman" to fly freely.

The "Birdman" is gone, since the last time he was injured at the bottom of the waterfall.

But he knew that the "birdman" did not really disappear, but hidden, waiting for an opportunity.

In the mountains along the way, which mountain will they hide in?

After he returned alive from the militants of the Yusa tribe, he sent Lian Heng to search for the whereabouts of those "birdmen", but no trace of them was found.

And until now, he didn't know much about the "Birdman".

He can only be sure of a few things:

One, these "birdmen" are coming at him, and it is likely that they are a special team sent by Autumn Night String to assassinate him.

Second, for the "birdman" to fly, it must meet at least two conditions, one is that the wind is strong, and the other is to take off from a high place.

Third, the "Birdman" must still be secretly staring at him, trying not to let him return to the capital alive.

He must not be careless.
