After that, in just ten days, under the coercion and Huairou policy of Cangguo, the monarch and ministers of Sheng Guo finally began to compromise.

Even Deng Zhi, who has always held the heart of death, has tended to soften.

After releasing its goodwill and successfully capturing several castles, the Suzaku Legion no longer sought to blindly attack the castles, but first resorted to peace talks.

Of course, Han Tong also deeply understood the truth that eggs cannot be put in one basket, and the 200,000 army did not march into the hinterland of Shengguo, but in the most important cities, a part of the troops were stationed to establish a stable rear and beware of changes on the front line.

Jin Yiwei also actively cooperated, first asked for some appointment documents from the Ministry of Officials, gave the leaders of the peasant army who revolted, and promised to be knighted by the way, and firmly cultivated a large wave of forces in Shengguo.

After that, with the acquiescence of Emperor Shengguo, the peasant army quickly occupied hundreds of cities in the rear.

This is equivalent to the fact that Cangguo supported a puppet army in Shengguo.

At this time, the entire front line of Shengguo, including the government soldiers, there were about 700,000 people, and under the instruction of the Shengguo court, they were either incorporated into the peasant army, or unarmed and went home.

Of course, this part of the unarmored and returned home is mainly the government soldiers.

For those well-trained regular troops, that is, the border army, Cangguo will not waste it in vain and lose such a precious source of soldiers.

Count, the border army under Deng Zhi still has about 300,000 people.

Most of them are veteran soldiers who have been in a hundred battles, and many of them have much more experience in the army than the soldiers of Cangguo.

As for the positions of those generals, under the instruction of Yang Mu, Cangguo also promised not to change their positions, and made statistics, and then prepared to confer knighthoods.

This, that is, what Yang Wanchun, the former soldier of the Ministry of War, said, is contrary to the current system of Cangguo.

Because in Cangguo, there are only two ways to get a knighthood.

One is a degraded title, and the other is a meritorious knighthood obtained by military exploits.

For a long time, the civil officials in the court of Cangguo, even some second-rank and third-grade officials of the imperial court, have not been able to get a title, only among the remaining forces of those family lords, there are some people who have a title themselves when the meritorious lord is implemented.

Until today, for the first time, the Meritorious Lords were exceptional.

Because of the rush to solve the problems of the Shengguo, great benefits were promised to the Shengguo army, including the promise of knighthoods to the main generals.

After all, this time Cangguo canonized a total of thousands of lords, fourteen counts, and the marquis Deng Zhi.

You must know that even Han Tong, the generalissimo of the Vermilion Bird Legion, is just a two-star marquis.

Although this is a gentle policy, it is inevitable that there will be some micro-words in the Cangguo army.

Right now, in order to quickly solve the affairs of Sheng Guo, Cangguo has no choice.

On April 13, in order to eliminate the gap between the two armies, Han Tong personally repaired a letter and invited Deng Zhi to drink together under the Heyi Mountains.

It is said that it is drinking, but in fact, it is to create an opportunity to release the old suspicions.

Because if he didn't do this, even Han Tong would beat a drum in his heart, worried that Deng Zhi would lead his subordinates when they would suddenly attack and bite back on Cangguo.

What he has to do now is to give Deng Zhi and other generals a reassurance, release the goodwill of Cangguo, and say that he will keep his promise.

Sheng Guo's generals were very clever and knew the importance of this meeting, so Deng Zhi personally ordered the army to retreat ten miles in response.

Seeing this, Han Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Deng Zhi sat in the commander's chariot and led more than 1,000 soldiers towards the meeting place.

The meeting place was on a wide hillside, and it was not a problem to accommodate a few thousand people.

"Everyone, please take a seat!" Han Tong came up from afar and saluted with his fists.

The generals of Sheng Guo did not put on any show, they all knew that the surrender was a foregone conclusion, so it was better to be neat and ease the tense relationship before.

After the two sides finished taking their seats and drank a few small drinks, Deng Zhi, as the coach, was a little distracted.

His gaze was fixed on the instruments.

Deng Zhi secretly wondered in his heart, did the Vermilion Bird Legion invite him to come this time to show off his strength?

Because it is clear that this hillside is not a geographical fortress, neither side has deployed troops, and the commanders of the two armies meet, and there is no need to pull these weapons over at all.

Now, not only siege vehicles, but even crossbow chariots and other equipment have been pulled over together, what other purpose can there be besides showing off force?

Deng Zhi noticed that not only him, but even those henchmen and generals behind him also had this thought.

"What an idiot!"

Deng Zhi secretly scolded in his heart, Sheng Guo was merged into Cangguo, and the army also became part of the Cang Army, this is an irreversible trend, at present, the entire Sheng Guo court, including the Emperor Shengguo, although some are unwilling, but they are helpless, and they have to accept this result.

The most urgent task at the moment should be to eliminate the tense atmosphere between the two armies, to avoid any misunderstandings, and to prevent any incidents, rather than any malice unleashed by one side as a victor.

To be able to become the commander of an army, Deng Zhi is also a smart person, of course he knows that it is impossible for the Emperor of Cangguo to give such an order, because throughout the annexation of the rest of the countries by Cangguo, the Emperor of Cangguo has never carried out a post-mortem liquidation of the generals and soldiers who surrendered.

Geng Gui, the general of the Nashen State, has now become the commander of an army, and the famous Qilin Army under his command is famous in all countries and has become an army that monarchs of all countries dream of.

It can also be seen from this that the Emperor of Cangguo is the kind of enlightened monarch who uses people without suspicion, and it is impossible to make such a childish behavior at this juncture.

Deng Zhi noticed that several henchmen and generals behind him were also frequently aiming at those instruments.

Obviously, these henchmen are also unhappy with this approach.

After all, they were not defeated by dignity, to be honest, many generals in the Sheng army, although they agreed with the result of surrender, but they did not think of themselves as humble.

I believe many people can see such a state.

Han Tong's approach is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

So, in Deng Zhi's heart, Han Tong, the coach of the Vermilion Bird Army, in addition to the title of stupid, has another childish label.

Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Han Tong laughed, clapped his hands and let the soldier serve a large plate, and made a hot pot in front of everyone.

The generals of the Sheng army looked at each other.

Until they smelled the tempting fragrance, the generals swallowed their saliva one after another.

In the past few months, because they have to defend the front line against the Cang army, they have no requirements for food, and many times they are stuffed with dough and done things hastily.

Suddenly smelling this fragrance, I couldn't control myself without swallowing my saliva.
