Eventually, word spread that the grain and grass had been burned.

Not only was the Sheng army panicked, but even the Dongguo army felt a lot of pressure.

In particular, Li He, the commander of the Dongguo Eastern Expedition, was immediately very annoyed when he heard the news.

Because just a few days ago, he heard the news that the army of Cangguo had lost the city one after another and was almost driven back to the country, so he wrote a letter to return to Beijing, persuading the emperor of Dongguo to end the alliance with Cangguo and annex a part of Shengguo's land, and then negotiate with Shengguo to end this hopeless war.

But in just a few days, the tide of the battle has taken a big turn.

If it is 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, the Sheng army may still be able to collect grain and grass in the city and continue to fight.

The grain and grass of the 160,000 army, this is almost no need to think about, either defeat the Cangguo army before the surplus grain is eaten in one go, or you can only withdraw the army and wait for a new round of grain and grass supplies.

In this way, Cangguo took the lead in defeating the Sheng army, and it was inevitable to drive straight in.

As expected, the day after the news of the burning of grain and grass spread, Deng Zhi led the army to retreat.

Moreover, he retreated more than a little bit, because he was afraid that the elusive Qilin Army would attack the grain road again, Deng Zhi directly ordered a retreat of three hundred miles.

As a result, the Blue Dragon Legion effortlessly occupied the previous dozen or so cities again, and captured the strategic place Paradise City and the surrounding cities that had been difficult to gnaw.

At this point, the road to the border of the cave country was completely opened, more than 20 cities were connected, and the entire passage was completely in the hands of the Cang army.

Immediately afterwards, the Vermilion Bird Legion and the Xuanwu Legion also went out in succession and captured more than a dozen cities in the Shengguo Kingdom one after another.

At the end of July, in the face of the two major pressures from the west and the south, the invincible Shengguo finally compromised, on the one hand, he sent envoys to Cangguo to ask for a truce, and on the other hand, Prime Minister Zhu Lixing and others went to the border of Dongguo with heavy gifts to ask Yang Mu for peace.

Sheng Guo looked at the situation very thoroughly, and the outbreak of this war was because he blocked the way back of the Emperor of Cangguo, which triggered a war between the two countries.

It is precisely because of the brilliant achievements of the Cang army that Dong Guo moved his mind.

If Cangguo can withdraw his troops and avoid fighting on two fronts, then Sheng Guo will have the confidence to fight with Dong Guo.

After Zhu Li, the envoy of Shengguo, and others arrived at the camp, Yang Mu did not immediately meet them.

It dragged on for three days.

This is exactly the time before and after five or six days, the five major legions of Cangguo attacked everywhere and captured one city after another, with the center of Leyuan City, plus the cities captured before, all the fifty-three cities in the southwest of Sheng Kingdom were included in the territory.

You must know that there are more than 300 cities in the entire Shengguo, which is equivalent to occupying one-sixth of the territory of the Shengguo, and because the Shengguo is sparsely populated in the southwest, the cities are too scattered, so from the map, one-sixth of the territory is more than one.

Emperor Min Lei's heart was dripping blood, and his ancestors had exhausted their livers and galls, and it was not easy to have today's vast territory, but it was invaded so much by Shengguo at once!

Although they are all small cities except for Leyuan City, their strategic position is self-evident, and the huge population within the territory cannot be ignored.

After all, with only 36 cities and a population of more than 3 million, Cangguo can form such a powerful army, and if its citizens are increased by more than 3 million, it will definitely become another big country in a short period of time!

For Sheng Guo, this is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst.

Helplessly, Sheng Guo, who has always been high-spirited, really can't be high-spirited this time, and can only be like a defeated fighting, dejected, and accept such a result, except to tighten the defense of various cities along the way, there is no other way.

On the seventh day, the delegation led by Zhu Lixing, the prime minister of Shengguo, finally met Yang Mu.

For the Shengguo Mission, it is tantamount to looking forward to the stars and the moon.

They knew very well that after the Emperor of Cangguo had left everyone dry for so long, he suddenly wanted to receive them, and there must be room for negotiation.

"You want to make peace?" After listening to Zhu Lixing's statement, Yang Mu asked.

Zhu Lixing arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the war between the two countries this time was actually caused by a misunderstanding, resulting in the current situation, and it is not the wish of our country, and I also ask Your Majesty to take care of the common people, stop the war and stop the army, so that the people of Li can avoid the suffering of war." ”

Yang Mu muttered in his heart, Sheng Guo was beaten and retreated, of course, it was not your Sheng Guo's wishes, as for the sake of the people of Li and the like, it was just a, if you really thought so, Sheng Guo would not have sent troops to invade the south.

"Zhu Lixing, your name is Zhu Lixing, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the foreign minister is exactly."

"Originally...... Not...... I summoned you to ask for some benefits, such as silver, grain, cloth, and so on, but for now it seems that these numbers have to be doubled. ”

Zhu Lixing was shocked: "Why did Your Majesty say this, please make it clear!" ”

"Explicit? Make it a fart! When you become a bitch, you still want to set up a memorial arch, righteousness, good things are said to you, what are you talking about with my Cangguo? ”

Zhu Lixing was embarrassed and arched his hand: "Your Majesty forgives me, the minister is a sour literati, I am afraid that Your Majesty is unwilling to quit the army, so I ......"

"Well, that's right, people like you are stupid at reading books, thinking that only you are for the country and the people, and other people's selfish villains are the enemies of the people of the world."

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, the minister has no such intentions, this time I came just to explain the reason to Your Majesty, I believe that the Emperor of the Cave Kingdom will have the same opinion on this matter."

"The Emperor of the Cave Kingdom? Are you threatening me? Yang Mu sneered and said, "Since you are going to negotiate with the Emperor of the Cave Kingdom, then go and talk, I am tired of saying so many things today, so I can't leave." ”

"Your Majesty, wait!"

Zhu Lixing was taken aback, and he had already begun to scold in his heart, this is a common way in negotiations, why doesn't the emperor of Cangguo act according to the routine, Dongguo has a great appetite, if he could negotiate, he would have gone to negotiate a long time ago, do you still have to wait until now?

"Please, Lord Zhu, disturbing His Majesty's rest is a capital offense." Shen An sneered beside him and made a gesture to send off the guest.

Zhu Lixing wanted to say more, but he saw Shen An gently push on his body, and suddenly the whole person flew out from the door like a sandbag.

The rest of the mission was horrified, it was the first time they had seen such a terrifying person, and they immediately shuddered.

"Shen An, Lord Zhu is a guest from afar, how can you treat him like this." Yang Mu said lightly.

"Yes, the minion knows his mistake." Shen An bowed his head and said respectfully, then looked at the rest of his subordinates, and said, "Did you hear it, our family's means of sending off guests are not very friendly, so let's get out of here!" ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

The envoys of Sheng Guo were all stunned, nodded and left quickly.
