Seeing that the general trend had been decided, Qiao Xuan was very decisive, like a gecko breaking its tail to survive, immediately abandoned the small part of the two or three thousand troops that were still trapped in the survival alliance, and then left this section of the defense line with a large force, and at the same time issued it to all the defense line troops, and began to retreat slowly, striving for the defense base that had been built in the rear to organize the third defense.

Yes, Qiao Xuan had already organized a new defense in the rear, although the flat land was easy to capture, but with the help of the fortress and the five forts, it was still very difficult to capture, coupled with the vast territory of the Holy Alliance, coupled with this battle, although Shu Han won, it was extremely ugly to win, and the number of casualties was much higher than that of the Holy Alliance, Qiao Xuan had already expected that Shu Han had no ability to continue the attack, so this third line of defense was not particularly strong, after all, it was built hastily for two weeks, And there weren't many of them, and the rest of the people had already retreated to the rear.

In this case, it is naturally difficult to have a large-scale display, but even so, Qiao Xuan is not false, because at this time Shu Han is facing a situation that is even more uncomfortable than him, first of all, the casualties of his own troops, in this month and a half, the Survival Alliance has conscripted more than 700,000 people into the army, and in this short period of a month and a half, there are more than 300,000 people who died on the battlefield, and more than 60,000 of them are disabled, and I am afraid that they will never be able to go to the battlefield again, such a huge loss, Something that none of the Survival Leagues expected.

Therefore, the biggest question in front of them is the army, what to do with the pensions of the fallen soldiers? What about the missing posts in the troops? And what about the army's declining morale today? This is a big problem, the first thing to be solved is the morale of the army itself, after this big battle, many soldiers died on the battlefield, their friends, relatives are gone, this is a huge mental test for them, the slightest carelessness will break down and become a patient.

In addition, it is the praise of the victims, the death of so many people, the pension is a huge amount, and now the financial situation of the survival alliance, it is impossible to lose so much money, and if the money is not given, it will undoubtedly pull down the morale of the entire army a lot, which is undoubtedly unaffordable for today's army.

In addition, the families of these soldiers still need money to support, if there is no money, the family's life will not be settled, which is also a very dangerous thing, and there is another important thing, that is, before Qiao Xuan left, because of the hasty itinerary, he did not take everyone away, many of the citizens in these seven cities who were left as logistics troops stayed, and some of the old and weak and women who Qiao Xuan deliberately left, their number is about 200,000, what should be done with the lives of these people?

Their homes have been destroyed, and if they are not helped at this time, it is obvious that their lives will be very difficult, but at this time, the whole survival alliance obviously does not take care of so much, and some people have suggested that these people should simply be divided into slaves for the families of those who died in the war, so as to help them work, so as to offset the pension, this method can obviously kill two birds with one stone, the government can pay less, and the lives of the soldiers' families are guaranteed.

But Shu Han decisively rejected this approach, the reason is very simple, now the people of the Holy Alliance are staring at them, if they treat these captives like this, then the common people of the entire Holy Alliance will inevitably regard them as jackals, so they will not be close to them, and the people of the Holy Alliance themselves will be in a state of wait-and-see, if they do this, it will inevitably make them make up their minds to stand with Qiao Xuan.

Although Qiao Xuan is terrible, but at least he is there, they can live a stable and stable life, even if it is hard, but they will not be slaves and maids, and they will be called, so this kind of thing, Shu Han will definitely not be able to do it, and finally Shu Han decided to give one-tenth of the pension to the families of those who died in the war, and the rest of the pension will be issued in the form of an IOU. Wait for the state to have money, and then pay it back.

As for these captives left behind by Qiao Xuan, they were allowed to live as usual in the local area, and they were given the necessary items for life, so that they could re-establish their own homes, and the army of the Survival Alliance could not disturb them and bully them, otherwise they would have to be dealt with by military law.

After doing this, it can be said that the whole situation has been temporarily stabilized, but there are still many questions in front of Shu Han, first of all, can this war continue? Now it seems that it is obviously not possible, 300,000 killed, 60,000 disabled, and the number of Skywalker deaths is more than two million, close to one-fifth, and there are only a total of adult males in the Survival Alliance, if it continues to fight, I am afraid that the entire Divine Alliance and the men of the Survival Alliance will die.

So even if Shu Han wants to fight again, I'm afraid it is impossible for the country to agree anymore, after all, the blood of the people is about to run dry, so the war can only be stopped, but this brings another problem, after paying such a big price, if you don't get any benefits, just stop the war, who will bear this responsibility, think about it, only he can carry it.

Shu Han thought about it for a long time, and finally took over this responsibility, he also felt that he was about to leave, since he couldn't solve the war before leaving, then at least before leaving, give the country some peace, so after cleaning up the war situation, Shu Han sent an envoy to negotiate peace with Qiao Xuan, and at the same time wrote to the parliament, deciding to resign, as soon as the news came out, it was natural to shock the entire survival alliance is the Holy Alliance and was touched, after all, Shu Han is undoubtedly a legend, From a slave to an ordinary person to the head of a country, such an experience is probably unique in three hundred years.

In addition, Shu Han is benevolent, generous, and very kind to the people, so his reputation has always been very good, and now he wants to resign, which naturally attracts the attention of the masses, and the parliament has also issued a suggestion, hoping that he will consider it again, but Shu Han has already made up his mind in his heart, the power in his body is gradually growing uncontrollably, and he must go.

In the end, under his firm request, the parliament agreed to his opinion, in fact, the parliament has long hoped that Shu Han is gone, the war is lost, and peace talks are followed by peace, in the case of peace being stabilized, Shu Han is obviously the one who is not needed, let Shu Han be the leader, itself is not the answer that satisfies them, and now it can be replaced, it is naturally the best thing, and it is just to take into account the public opinion if they want to keep it before, and now since Shu Han really wants to leave, they will naturally send it off.

On the other side, Qiao Xuan also quickly met with the envoy of the Survival Alliance, for the peace talks, he also couldn't wait, at this time, after more than a month, the alliances in the Huaibei region have also discussed the division of the fat in front of them, after deciding, they began to eyeing Qiao Xuan's territory, after all, this is a real anointed place, originally Qiao Xuan let out of the land, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, there is almost nothing, what do they want these things for, or rob Qiao Xuan's good.

If it was placed before, they would definitely not dare, after all, Qiao Xuan had a huge army in his hands, and they were not in line with each other, so they were afraid that they would be broken by each other, so they didn't dare to make a mistake, but as the war between the Survival Alliance and the Holy Alliance became increasingly fierce, Qiao Xuan had no choice but to continuously withdraw troops from the front line to the south, although Qiao Xuan also supplemented the defensive front in the north through the reserve troops, but this large-scale transfer, how could it avoid the eyes of the enemy.

Therefore, their hearts are naturally shaken, and they are also a little more eager for Qiao Xuan, and these things can undoubtedly eat people, Qiao Xuan's heart is also very worried, although these Huaibei Alliances are just some local chickens and dogs, but if their main force is still dragged here, then the war situation in the north will never make much progress, and at this time, if they can get rid of the war of the Survival Alliance, then they can take the troops to the north and pacify those Xiaoxiao in the north.

In the middle, Qiao Xuan fought a time difference, because in the current war years, there is no way to inquire about the news of the Huaibei Alliance, coupled with the severance on the ocean, so what is the situation in Huaibei, in previous years, the survival alliance could only rely on some rumors to judge, and the specific situation was not known at all, and now it is even more impossible to know about the distance of four or five hundred kilometers.

If Shu Han knew that Qiao Xuan was already facing a two-sided attack at this time, he was afraid that he would have to gamble on this if the whole country was destroyed, but he didn't know that Qiao Xuan was cunning and cunning, although he was extremely eager for peace in his heart, but on the surface, he had to make a good appearance, not in a hurry at all, and even found various reasons to make things difficult for Shu Han, thinking that the Survival Alliance should bear the main responsibility for the war, Shu Han should apologize, and at the same time, the Survival Alliance should pay compensation.

This is a typical back-to-back rake, and in this process, Qiao Xuan constantly transferred troops to the north, preparing to deal with the war in the north, and at the same time recruited some surrounding people to his own army, the two sides are separated by a few kilometers of land, and it is impossible to determine at all, plus Qiao Xuan's military camp stretches for dozens of kilometers, and where can he monitor it, Qiao Xuan is not stupid, he is all in the evening to replace the troops, where will Shu Han be given a chance.

And Shu Han's side will naturally not pay compensation, not only do not pay compensation, but also let the Holy Alliance pay compensation, after all, no matter how big their losses are, but as an attacker, they still captured about 10,000 square kilometers of land, a total of more than nine cities, and now they naturally have to return it, after all, there is no Yangtze River as a moat, if you want to occupy these cities, it is really difficult to reach the sky, it is better to take the initiative to return it, so as to exchange for a little benefit.

In this regard, Qiao Xuan also agreed, but this benefit cannot be said to be a reparation, but should be said to be a gift to each other, in order to show the friendship between the two parties, for this name Shu Han does not care, the domestic propaganda is still used to say the indemnity, so that even if he goes to the position, at least it can be regarded as forcing Qiao Xuan to bow his head, and then Fu Erlan can at least be much better off in the survival alliance.

Although Fu Erdong is now a Skywalker, he has seven or eight official children and a lot of illegitimate children, where can he take care of the children on his side, he still has to rely on prestige and support it, thinking of this, Shu Han can't wait to go back to Black Iron City immediately and see Fu Erlan, but he knows that he can't do without himself here, although the two sides are negotiating, but who knows if Qiao Xuan will suddenly launch a surprise attack, for this moody ruler, Shu Han has no confidence at all.

If after he left, Qiao Xuan's troops attacked, he would immediately find that the degree of cooperation between the various armies had declined, with Qiao Xuan's experience, he could naturally see that there was a problem with the army of the Survival Alliance, and if he attacked on a large scale at that time, I am afraid that the entire Survival Alliance would lose all of his family resources at the end.

It can be said that at this time, Shu Han has a little bit of a feeling of fighting wits and courage with the air, and now Qiao Xuan still has more than 200,000 troops stationed here, but nearly 100,000 of them have been replaced as civilian husbands, and they have not received war training at all, where does Qiao Xuan dare to let such a sand-mixed army go to war?

It's just that Shu Han didn't know this, otherwise he would have been able to see the other party for the last time, this negotiation was deliberately delayed by Qiao Xuan, and in the end it only took three days to complete the negotiation, Qiao Xuan was just deliberately acting, he wanted to sign this treaty more than everyone present, and finally the two sides agreed that they would return to their original territories, and Dingbei City belonged to the Survival Alliance, and the nine cities occupied by the Survival Alliance were all handed over, including the population above, and the rest of the Survival Alliance did not agree with this, But Shuhan agreed.

These more than 200,000 people entering the Survival Alliance is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, it doesn't have much effect, and it is undoubtedly better to stay in the Holy Alliance, among them, some people feel the friendliness of the Survival Alliance, and their views on the Holy Alliance will change in their hearts, as long as this psychology begins to take root, then in the future, when the Survival Alliance attacks these lands again, it will at least have a certain effect, as for taking them all away, of course Shu Han wants to do it, but obviously Qiao Xuan will not allow it so easily.

And as a reward, the Holy Alliance will give the Survival Alliance more than 20 million yuan of money as compensation, with gold as a substitute, a total of more than 200 kilograms, this is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, although the various families are not very satisfied with this, but they will reluctantly not agree, half of this money will be paid to those soldiers as a pension, probably can make them increase from the original one percent of the pension to about thirty percent, as for the rest of the money, naturally these Skywalkers.
