It's just that he also has a puzzle in his heart, even if the Celestial Empire's army is so powerful, why not take the opportunity to continue to advance in order to enter the hinterland of the Rus Kingdom? And they are as willing to negotiate as they are? At least if you think about it from another perspective, he has such an advantage that he will not give up lightly.

Ivan, who couldn't figure it out, began to suspect that this could be something the Celestial Empire had done, in order to deceive his arrival, and then attack again after arresting himself, if this is the case, this time the peace talks are dangerous.

On the way here, because he had talked to Zhang Qiang and knew that the Celestial Empire did not have any excessive requirements, he was in control of the victory, thinking that he was afraid of the military strength of the two sides compared to the Celestial Empire, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Ivan suddenly couldn't figure it out, and retreated a little, but now that he had come to Adan City, how could he find a reason to retreat?

Just when Ivan was a little panicked, the Celestial Empire actually sent an envoy to the city, saying that he would negotiate peace with the Rus' kingdom here.

The location was chosen under the city, which made the anxiety in Ivan's heart drop a lot, at least behind him is the imperial city, where there are tens of thousands of soldiers, once there is danger, it is not completely a fight back. Of course, what he didn't know was that all this was what Zhang Chao meant, and he was worried that Ivan would retreat after coming here to know the true situation, so he sent Fu Zhi as a peace envoy to discuss with Ivan very early.

This person is older, he is old in doing things, and Zhang Chao is naturally relieved to do peace talks.

In fact, he appeared as a kind elder, and after seeing Ivan in the city, he gave him enough respect, which finally reassured the second prince of the Rus' country.

The next thing went very smoothly, both sides deliberately backed down, the peace talks were surprisingly smooth, and everyone reached an agreement on some aspects step by step, and wrote on the text.

......

Jinyang City.

This is the political, economic and cultural center of the north. It has long since changed from a barren land to a prosperous place.

The Celestial Empire set the capital here, which made the status of all aspects of this place have been significantly improved, and now many important departments of the country are built here, as two of them, Guo Jia and Lu Su, the first rank of civil officials, are also working here.

But even today, the two first-class masters did gather together, and there was a sad look on their faces.

"Brother Guo? If such a big thing happens, if you don't report it to the emperor, what if you blame it? Lu Su, who looked honest on the side, asked anxiously in his voice.

"No, the emperor is now in peace talks with the Rus' country, which is a major matter to stabilize the north, and it must not be involved in any distraction. As soon as something happens, it means telling the emperor that nothing can be changed, so it's better to wait. Guo Jia did shake his head in a very affirmative tone.

In the early morning, the two received the news from below, a total of two years, all unfavorable.

First, Wang Tai, the general of Tianshui County in Yongzhou, surrendered to Liu Bei and announced his return to Han.

Second, Cui Yan, the pastor of Jizhou, was assassinated and killed by assassins while he was going from the palace to inspect the government below.

The consequences and effects of these two sudden events are extremely bad.

Tianshui County's anti-water directly cut off the connection between Sili and Xiliang, and also caused the instability of the overall situation of Yongzhou.

Cui Yan was stabbed to death, which plunged Jizhou into chaos, and for a time the dragons were leaderless, and the situation was chaotic and dangerous.

These are naturally Cao Cao and Liu Bei's counterattack, the two have long formed an alliance, and they are also communicating with each other when they move, taking advantage of Zhang Chao's time when he is caught in the war in the north and cannot return, he suddenly made a move, and the Celestial Empire was a surprise not long ago.

After Guo Jia and Lu Su learned the news early in the morning, they got together to discuss how to solve the problem next.

According to Lu Su's opinion, it is natural to report the news to Zhang Chao if such a big thing happens. But Guo Jia confirmed that it is useless to say that it is useless to say that things happen, and what should be done now is how to solve these problems, and the current emperor is negotiating with the Rus Kingdom in the north, which will involve the peace of the northern land for several years or even longer, and it is absolutely impossible to disturb. And once the matter is known to the Rus' country, I am afraid that they don't know what will happen.

The two had their own reasons, but in the end, Guo Jia had the upper hand, and he persuaded Lu Su with righteousness.

In the end, the two decided that Lu Su would stay at home and deal with the overall situation, and Guo Jia would go to Jizhou to act as the pastor and stabilize the situation. As for the issue of Tianshui County in Youzhou, Huang Zhong's headquarters of the Second Army Corps guarding Yanmen Pass was urgently dispatched to suppress it.

When Zhang Chao left, he took one, four, and seven plus the dragoon legion. But there were also the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and Vanguard Legions, as well as the Waterway Legion.

Among them, the three legions and the waterway legion are all in Youzhou and Sanhan, and they must not be transferred at will; The Sixth Army Corps is on the border of Xiliang, and guarding Xiliang is also unable to move; The Fifth Army Corps and the Vanguard Corps guarded Sili and Luoyang on the left and right, guarding Cao Cao, and they were also not allowed to move, but only now only the headquarters of the Second Army Corps remained.

Although Huang Zhong moved, there would be a shortage of troops outside the Yanmen Pass in the north, but it should not be a big problem in the short term. In this way, the two Yipin adults made the same decision.

After the decision of the two adults was made, the Celestial Empire began to take action, and Zhang Chao, who was far away in Adan City, did not know about it.

This time, after Guo Jia and Lu Su made a decision, they immediately notified the old continent Fei of the Tianyan organization, asking her not to inform the emperor of the news, what she was afraid of was distraction, and everything should be focused on the overall situation.

Even Tianyan didn't notify the news, Zhang Chao naturally couldn't know, he still focused on peace talks.

This time the peace talks are of far-reaching significance, and if they are done well, they can ensure peace in the north for several years or even decades, and Zhang Chao has to pay attention to it.

Fortunately, both sides were interested in peace talks, and Ivan also wanted to make meritorious contributions, and with Zhang Chao's intentional concessions, everything went very smoothly. Just seven days later, the peace talks have basically come to an end.

The two sides agreed that the Celestial Empire army would retreat to the territory of Buyeo, return the previously occupied Haibaolan, and promise to be a friendly neighbor with the Rus' country, trade with each other, and return some of the former captured Rus' soldiers, including General Lenniqi, who had been captured in the capital of the Buyeo country.

What the Rus needed to do was to recognize the Rulou and Buyeo as vassals of the Celestial Empire, and at the same time allow the Zhangjia Trading Company to enter the Rus' Kingdom and reduce taxes for five years.

Rulou and Buyeo have long been occupied by the Celestial Empire, and admitting this matter is just recognizing the facts. As for the re-entry of the Zhangjia Trading Company into the Rus' Kingdom, this is a matter that has been discussed in the court, and Ivan can naturally call the shots.

The two sides reached an agreement, and immediately shook hands and made peace, and the army of the Celestial Empire began to retreat.

The Kaiyuan Holy War, which lasted for nearly five months, came to an end. This battle achieved its goal, fought all the battles between Rulou and Buyeo, and won the promise of non-aggression of the Rus' countries, which can be described as a complete victory, which is really a happy thing.

At the end of the peace talks, Zhang Chao led the army of the Celestial Empire with millions of troops to worship the heavens in the same place, and too many Celestial Dynasty generals died here.

The memorial activities were carried out for three days, and Zhang Chao drunk the thousands of heroes transported from the rear on this land to comfort the souls of the heroes and martyrs in the sky. On the fourth day, the army began to retreat, and with it, Ivan and Alexander began to regain lost territory.

At the end of the war in the north, Zhang Chao returned triumphantly with a million troops, but he only went out to the sea to Paolan, and soon after arriving in the territory of Fuyu, the members of Tianyan reported to him the emergencies that occurred in Jizhou and Yongzhou. This is what Guo Jia meant, when the emperor returned victoriously, when he was passing the news.

Originally, with a victorious smile on his face, he even promised Zhao Yun to go to Goryeo to take a walk and take a look, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen suddenly. When he saw the information sent by Tianyan, and looked at the events that had happened a month ago, his brows filled with infinite anger.

It wasn't for Zhang Chao who only delivered the information at this time when he blamed Tianyan, he also knew that Guo Jia had his own reasons for doing this, he hated Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and he actually lit a fire behind his back when the army was fighting against Rus.

"That's it, if you must seek death, I should fulfill you well." Zhang Chao's face was gloomy and he made a decision.

The sudden convening of a military meeting made several regiment commanders who were returning with the army confused, until they entered the tent and saw Zhang Chao sitting there with a serious face, and everyone stood honestly in place and did not dare to discuss.

After a while, the five corps commanders had arrived, and the two military divisions had also come to the tent and waited. Seeing that the personnel were all there, Zhang Chao slowly got up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just got the news that before January, Wang Tai, the general of Yongzheng Tianshui County, suddenly turned against the water and defected to the thief Liu Bei, and at the same time cut off the connection between Si Li and Xiliang. ”

"Plop." As soon as he spoke, General Ma Chao, the leader of the dragoon regiment in the tent, fell to his knees with a thud.

Wang Tai was recommended by him at that time, this person was the captain of Ma Chao's personal army, he was somewhat forced, he was also very loyal, and his performance was also good. Later, after Xiliang became a vassal of the Celestial Empire, he was recommended to stay in Yongzhou and became the guard of Tianshui County, enjoying the rank of five-rank military attache at the regimental level.

But he never thought that he would be backwater, and if it weren't for his own recommendation, this person would not have been able to get a high position, how could Ma Chao not be so frightened that he fell to his knees.

After seeing that the other legions were all fierce generals and brave soldiers, the arrogance in his heart was dispelled a lot, and he even thought that his father led people to surrender to Cheng What a rational behavior. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yixi Liang's little combat power to be the opponent of the Celestial Empire.
