Ouyang Xue, the empress of the Purple Moon Empire, heard Prime Minister Guo Xian say that the army supported by the Liuyun Empire was about to leave the Purple Moon Empire, and said in a calm voice: "Let's leave if you leave!" Anyway, these 500,000 Liuyun Empire's troops, our Purple Moon Empire can't command them, and staying is just a waste of our food! ”

As an ally, the Liuyun Empire has sent a total of 800,000 army troops to the Liuyun Empire, which was invaded by the Orenza Empire, in three batches, of which the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire occupies three-quarters, and the remaining 200,000 troops are the armies of the six hereditary dukes and seven hereditary marquis of the Liuyun Empire, which can be said to be the most effective army unit in the Liuyun Empire.

However, in the face of the powerful Orenza Imperial Army, the 800,000 army units of the Liuyun Empire lost nearly 300,000 in less than half a month after they were put into the battlefield, and then the remaining more than 500,000 Liuyun Empire troops retreated to the northeast of the Purple Moon Empire for rest.

Ouyang Qi, the previous emperor of the Purple Moon Empire, once hoped to transfer the more than 500,000 army troops of the Liuyun Empire to the capital Purple Moon City to participate in the defense of Purple Moon City, but Zhou Guicheng, the deputy minister of the Liuyun Empire's War Department, who commanded more than 500,000 Liuyun Empire army troops, refused Ouyang Qi's request on the grounds that the troops had suffered heavy losses.

Empress Ouyang Xue thought that if the more than 500,000 army troops of the Liuyun Empire could be invested in the defense of Purple Moon City, maybe her father would not have died in battle, so Empress Ouyang Xue had a lot of resentment towards the more than 500,000 army troops of the Liuyun Empire.

Prime Minister Guo Xian sighed and said: "Your Majesty, after the 500,000 army troops of the Liuyun Empire leave, there are less than one million reserves left in our hands, and they are mainly recruits...... Alas—"

After the start of the war, although the Purple Moon Empire recruited a large number of young men to join the army units, the losses of the Purple Moon Empire's army were very large, so far, the losses of the Purple Moon Empire's army had exceeded four and a half million, and you must know that before the war, the standing army of the Purple Moon Empire Army was only three and a half million.

Empress Ouyang Xue gritted her teeth and said: "No matter what, our Purple Moon Empire must also persevere, since the strength of the reserve is insufficient, then recruit millions more troops, even if the Sharad Empire also sends troops to invade our Purple Moon Empire, I will definitely not give in!" ”

Prime Minister Guo Xian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, now the people of our Purple Moon Empire, facing the invasion of the Orenza Empire, can be described as excited, and it is not a problem to recruit millions of young people, but we do not have enough weapons to arm these millions of recruits. ”

Empress Ouyang Xue immediately said: "I think the problem of weapons can be solved from two aspects, one is to let several arsenals in the rear work overtime to produce, and we can also learn from the Cangyu Empire, so that two or three soldiers can use a rifle together." ”

Prime Minister Guo Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Now it has to be like this, but most of the weapons and ammunition produced by several arsenals have to be sent to Purple Moon City." ”

Empress Ouyang Xue nodded and said, "The defense of Purple Moon City is related to the morale of our entire Purple Moon Empire, and we must ensure the supply in Purple Moon City at all costs. ”

When it came to Purple Moon City, Empress Ouyang Xue's face couldn't help but show a trace of sadness, after two months of war, the city where she had been living before had almost become a ruin, her father and five brothers were killed in this city, and her two younger sisters also carried hundreds of thousands of troops, on this ruin, and the Orenza Empire's army was engaged in the most brutal street battles, and there were soldiers of the Purple Moon Empire all the time, spilling their blood on Purple Moon City.

Prime Minister Guo Xian then said with some concern: "Your Majesty, the minister is worried that the Heavenly Star Empire and the Liuyun Empire will also ......."

Empress Ouyang Xue waved her hand to interrupt Prime Minister Guo Xian's words, "Even if the Celestial Star Empire and the Liuyun Empire also surrender, and the armies of the Orenza Empire, the Sharad Empire, and the Jisk Empire have all entered the territory of our Purple Moon Empire, I will not sign any treaty that humiliates the country, I will lead the military and people of the Purple Moon Empire to fight all the time, and I firmly believe that our Purple Moon Empire will eventually defeat the invaders and drive them out of our homeland!" ”

In the palace of Liuyun City, the capital of the Liuyun Empire, Emperor Li Hong said bitterly to Prime Minister Cao Ziliang: "I didn't expect the Cangyu Empire to even agree to such a harsh armistice agreement, so that the army of the Shalad Empire can enter the territory of our Liuyun Empire at any time through the railways and highways of the Cangyu Empire." ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, even the Cangyu Empire can't defeat the Shalad Empire, and our Liuyun Empire can't do it, so the minister suggests that you immediately start negotiations with the Sharad Empire and get out of this war." ”

Emperor Li Hong pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay that the armistice conditions offered by the Shalad Empire to our Liuyun Empire are really too harsh. ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, if the army of the Shalad Empire enters the territory of our Liuyun Empire, if we want to negotiate at that time, the conditions offered by the Shalad Empire will definitely be even more harsh. ”

After the Cangyu Empire had just signed an armistice agreement with the Sharad Empire, the Sharad Empire issued a truce condition to the Liuyun Empire.

Compared with the armistice conditions offered to the Cangyu Empire, the Sharad Empire is quite tolerant of the Liuyun Empire, after all, the Sharad Empire has not yet entered the Liuyun Empire, and the Sharad Empire hopes to surrender without a fight.

The Sharad Empire proposed a total of five armistice conditions to the Liuyun Empire, first of all, the Liuyun Empire must announce its withdrawal from the alliance of the four eastern countries, and symbolically compensate the Sharad Empire with 10 million taels of silver.

Secondly, the Liuyun Empire must set aside a piece of land in each of the 42 provincial capitals and the capital Liuyun City, and lease it to the Sharad Empire for 99 years, and the Sharad Empire has the right to garrison troops and administrative autonomy within these concessions.

The third point is that the Sharad Empire has the right to prospect, mine and build roads within the territory of the Liuyun Empire, and the Sharad Empire has the right to garrison troops in the mining areas and railway stations where the property rights belong to the Sharad Empire.

The fourth point is that all goods entered into the Flowing Cloud Empire by the Sharad Empire will be subject to zero tariffs.

The fifth point is that the Liuyun Empire must hand over Su Yi's independent fleet of the Royal Navy to the Sharad Imperial Navy in order to compensate for the losses of the Sharad Imperial Navy in the Yanmen Strait.

Compared with the armistice agreement signed between the Cangyu Empire and the Sharad Empire, the Sharad Empire did not restrict the naval and land armies of the Cangyu Empire, nor did it ask for a huge war reparation, but it set its sights on the independent fleet under Su Yi's command.

Emperor Li Hong sighed and asked Prime Minister Cao Ziliang, "Isn't there any chance for our Liuyun Empire?" After all, the independent fleet of the Royal Navy under Su Yi defeated the expeditionary fleet of the Sharad Empire! ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang shook his head and said: "No matter how strong the independent fleet is, those battleships can't go ashore, but the army of the Shalad Empire can drive straight into Liuyun City!" With all due respect, our army of the Liuyun Empire is simply no match for the army of the Sharad Empire! ”

Emperor Li Hong said with some interest: "Then send someone to talk to the Shalad Empire!" Lower the Sharad Empire as much as possible, and tell the Negotiators of the Sharad Empire that I have no way to control the Independent Fleet, and if the Sharad Empire wants to get the Independent Fleet, let them figure it out for themselves! ”

On July 2, 3011 in the Tang calendar, the Liuyun Empire, which had not yet been invaded, was forced by the strong strength of the army of the Shalad Empire to sign an armistice agreement with the Shalad Empire, announcing its unilateral withdrawal from the alliance of the four eastern countries.

This armistice agreement is roughly in accordance with the armistice conditions given to the Liuyun Empire by the Sharad Empire, but the fourth and fifth points are removed under the efforts of the Liuyun Empire.
