This kind of exhaustion and fishing, Asakusa City obviously can't hold out for too long, so Shu Han writes almost every day to ask Liu Sanyi to end the war in Foothill City as soon as possible, mobilize the army to his side, and help him solve this battle, otherwise he really can't hold on for too long, let the women and children go to the rice fields to harvest, such manpower is completely insufficient, the time for the autumn harvest is limited, and the rice must be harvested within the specified time, otherwise the hard work of the year will be wasted, And now the Black Iron City is facing a very serious food crisis, the war between Bicheng and Foothill City is continuing to consume a lot of food, and Liu Sanyi also promised them not to pay agricultural taxes for two years, which means that in the future war, the food must rely on the original city to come out, if there is not enough food, it will not be able to support a war for a long time, which Shu Han is naturally very anxious about.

Fortunately, Liu Sanyi's war did end quickly, originally thought that it would be a siege for two months before the war could have the dawn of victory, but he didn't expect that the war would end after only a month and a half, which gave Liu Sanyi plenty of time to bring the army back to Asakusa City, and when he arrived, even the Holy Alliance didn't expect the war to end so quickly.

And the arrival of Liu Sanyi's 16,000 army also made the Holy Alliance understand that this war is over, if they continue to fight, they will not take any advantage, after all, the terrain here is too complicated, if they continue to fight, it will be unfavorable for them, after all, they are not only one enemy, just when the Holy Alliance is attacking Asakusa City, the Guangyuan Kingdom next to it is also waiting for him, eyeing the tiger, and the movement of a large number of troops cannot avoid the eyes of the Guangyuan Kingdom, They have also begun to amass troops on the border, making it impossible for the Holy Alliance to spend large numbers of troops on the fight against Black Iron City.

Even after seeing Liu Sanyi's troops arrive in Black Iron City, the Holy Alliance not only immediately withdrew its troops, but also sent a messenger, hoping to restore relations with Black Iron City, this move made Shu Han a little confused, just now he was fighting like a feud, and he was eager to set foot in Black Iron City, but at this time, he hoped that the two parties would reconcile again, which made Shu Han understand.

And Yang Wangdi and Liu Sanyi on the side, these old fritters are laughing at the Holy Alliance to understand things, at this point, Shu Han is obviously inexperienced, and these elves are all people who have fought with each other all their lives, seeing the messenger of the Holy Alliance, they understood the meaning of the Holy Alliance, when they saw Liu Sanyi coming to Asakusa City with the army, and they never received a letter for help from Foothill City, an extremely clear fact was placed in front of them, that is, Foothill City was finished.

The hidden meaning behind this news is that the population of 450,000 in Foothill City and 350,000 in Picheng will all be occupied by Black Iron City, and the population of 800,000, plus some scattered forces around, is already about 900,000 population, and the Holy Alliance does not know how much population Black Iron City has, and it is roughly estimated that so many troops should have a population of 500,000 to 600,000, this is because the number of troops in Black Iron City is relatively small, not much, and it is a professional and elite route. Therefore, according to this ratio, the population is indeed not much, but in fact, the population of Black Iron City is about 720,000, but the difference is only that, and the total population is already about 1.6 million people.

This is no longer a small force, although it is still incomparable with the Holy Alliance, in the time of fighting against the Black Iron City, the Holy Alliance has also continued to expand externally in the past two years, the city has changed from the original fourteen to the current twenty-one, and the population has reached three million, which is twice that of the Black Iron City, but compared to the beginning, the strength between the two has been shortened a lot, and the Black Iron City is no longer an existence that the Holy Alliance can turn a blind eye to, but a prince who must be taken seriously.

And at this time, there is also a Guangyuan country by his side, the population is on par with the Black Iron City, the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly for a year, and they are also blood feuds between each other, which is impossible to resolve, at this time, the Black Iron City suddenly rose, and naturally became a very important chess piece.

Now Guangyuan Kingdom still doesn't know the existence of Black Iron City, but they will know sooner or later, after all, from Foothill City to the nearest city of Guangyuan Kingdom, it is only a distance of about 100 kilometers, and they must communicate with each other, and sooner or later there will be a day when they know, if they know that Black Iron City and the Holy Alliance also have enmity, then Guangyuan Kingdom will inevitably win over Black Iron City and defeat the Holy Alliance with them, and when the time comes, the Holy Alliance will probably be in big trouble if they are caught in two directions.

And the people of the Holy Alliance obviously thought of this, so after Liu Sanyi appeared on the defense line with the army, the other party did not even have a symbolic attack, so he withdrew directly, and at the same time sent a messenger to promote the friendship between the Holy Alliance and Black Iron City since ancient times, although it was nonsense, but it can also be seen that the Holy Alliance quickly changed its attitude on its side, hoping to maintain a good relationship with Black Iron City.

Obviously, they also understand that if Black Iron City completely surrenders to Guangyuan Country, then it will be dangerous for the Holy Alliance, only Black Iron City remains neutral, it is good for them, as for letting Black Iron City help the Holy Alliance defeat Guangyuan Kingdom, it is impossible, and the Holy Alliance also knows how bad the relationship between Black Iron City and the Holy Alliance is, they have shed blood between each other, where is the hatred that can be resolved so easily, although there are always people who say that war is a continuation of politics, and politics is cruel and ruthless, Therefore, the fighting on the battlefield can always shake hands and make peace, and this kind of hatred can be resolved as long as it is politically resolved.

But having said that, you can't really do this, otherwise the soldiers will inevitably be cold, and the people of Black Iron City will not accept such a result, so it is obviously impossible for Black Iron City to get closer to the Holy Alliance immediately, and the Holy Alliance is also very clear about this, and the messenger sent only hopes that Black Iron City will not be in the same stream as Guangyuan Kingdom, and it is better to be alone.

After Liu Sanyi and Yang Wangdi's explanations, Shu Han suddenly realized, like the clouds and the sun, the mouth suddenly opened, I have to say that the decision-makers of the Holy Alliance are indeed willing to go, can let go, just now the two sides shouted and shouted to kill and now come to reconcile so quickly, this speed is really fast, Shu Han for such a change of attitude, for a while really can't accept it, but after all, he has also been tested for a long time, naturally he will not really be suppressed, soon, he asked: "Then do we agree or not?" "The whole book

This question is also a problem that Black Iron City needs to think about now, most people think that they should not agree, at this time, contacting Guangyuan Kingdom, attacking the Holy Alliance from both sides, will inevitably be able to completely decay the Holy Alliance, and at the same time annex the land of the Holy Alliance, isn't that a good thing, the ruling scope of Black Iron City will expand again, and the population will continue to multiply, obviously through this westward expedition, the Skywalker family of Black Iron City has gained enough benefits, which makes their appetite bigger and bigger, Now it's obvious that he's taken a fancy to the fat of the Holy Alliance.

And Liu Sanyi and Yang Wangdi disagree with this idea, thinking that it is too risky to do so, one is the Holy Alliance messenger's statement, that is, Guangyuan Kingdom is not credible, let me ask, if Black Iron City cooperates with Guangyuan Kingdom and annexes the Holy Alliance, even if it succeeds at that time, then who can get more cities of the Holy Alliance?

Obviously, it is Guangyuan Kingdom, the opponent's soldiers are well fed, and the army has as many as 140,000, far exceeding the army of Black Iron City, when the time comes to attack, more cities will obviously be taken away by Guangyuan Kingdom, then at that time, will Guangyuan Congress allow Black Iron City to sleep peacefully under his couch?

At that time, after Guangyuan Kingdom defeated the Holy Alliance, it would immediately tear its face and point its troops directly at the Black Iron City, where the entire Holy Alliance was located, there was no danger to defend at all, and then the Black Iron City would only be able to retreat to Asakusa City, then all the territories under the jurisdiction of the Holy Alliance would be owned by the Guangyuan Kingdom, and the Holy Alliance would get nothing, and even face a bigger opponent.

Although the words of the Holy Alliance messenger are suspected of provoking, after all, whether Guangyuan Kingdom will do this remains to be verified, they can attack other places, and then treat Black Iron City as an ally and rely on each other, why fight with each other, but it cannot be denied that what this messenger said is indeed reasonable, they have dealt with the Holy Alliance, and Guangyuan Country has never dealt with each other, and in this case, Liu Sanyi and others are more willing to believe what the messenger said, and think about the dark side, if this is really the case, The Black Iron City undoubtedly lost his wife and lost his soldiers.

At the same time, the messenger of the Holy Alliance also repeatedly said that if the Black Iron City will help the Guangyuan Kingdom attack itself, then the Holy Alliance will inevitably use all the main forces to deal with the Black Iron City, so that the Black Iron City will not be able to get any inch in the land of the Holy Alliance, this threat is undoubtedly very serious for the Black Iron City, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Sanyi did not directly say the words to death.

And the other point, which the messenger did not say, is that the foothills of the city and the city of Pi have just been annexed, and there is a lot of waste to be rebuilt, and now it is the time to recuperate, if the war breaks out, with the current black iron city of almost 20,000 troops is absolutely not enough, and must continue to recruit, then the people of the foothills and the city must go to the battlefield, and if the food is not enough, then it must be directly apportioned from these two cities, they have just joined the black iron city, and the benefits of joining have not been obtained, but they have borne the cost of the war, This will definitely not be a good thing, and it is even very likely that the local people will directly hate the Black Iron City, so the good impression that has been left so hard now will be ruined, therefore, Liu Sanyi and Yang Wangdi both think that they should focus on recuperation at this time, and at the same time implement the policy that has been set now, as for the war between the Guangyuan Kingdom and the Holy Alliance, let them fight it themselves.

Of course, you can't look at it in vain, this kind of thing of making war money has to be done since ancient times, Black Iron City wrote a letter to the Holy Alliance, promising that they would not participate in the war, and the Holy Alliance naturally understood the reason, and promised to trade with Black Iron City, and the two sides established a bazaar as an exchange place in the place that originally belonged to Yangcheng, which was governed by Black Iron City, and the taxes of the transaction were shared by both parties, and the Holy Alliance would purchase a large number of weapons, Orders for these weapons are naturally capable of bringing a lot of wealth.

The same is true for Guangyuan Kingdom, compared to the envoys of the Holy Alliance, Guangyuan Kingdom is coming much slower, plus the two sides do not understand, so it takes time to understand each other, and finally through two months of exchanges, the two sides also signed a treaty, Black Iron City will not join the Holy Alliance against Guangyuan Kingdom, and at the same time, the two sides established a bazaar around the foothills of the city for trade, tax sharing, but the administrative power is handed over to Black Iron City, and the other is to sign an arms order, which will be produced by Black Iron City.

As for whether the two countries will join forces with the Black Iron City because of the greed of the Black Iron City, this is obviously impossible, the two sides have fought for more than a year, and they have a deep hatred of blood against each other, and the Black Iron City and the Guangyuan Kingdom have no enmity or grudge, and the Guangyuan Kingdom has no time to win over the Black Iron City, why fight at this time, isn't this an enemy, as for the Holy Alliance, the same is true for the Holy Alliance, next to the side of the Guangyuan Kingdom's couch, and the Black Iron City is a mustard disease, there is no need to worry at all, the Holy Alliance does not know that the Black Iron City has invented a power station, The productivity is not the same, I just think that they are the same as themselves, they are still using manpower to produce, such a production amount, how much can be produced, there is no need to worry at all, which is why the Black Iron City does not directly set the trade location in the Black Iron City, that is, not to let people from all sides directly enter the Black Iron City's sphere of influence, let them see these power stations and factories.

Another point is that these two forces do not have any trust between each other at all, and the most important point is that Black Iron City has a long mountain range on both sides, which naturally separates these two places, if you want to attack, as long as Black Iron City will defend the city on both sides, it is very difficult for the other party to come in, at least it will take a month, and the two forces can hold on to mutual trust for a month? Black Iron City doesn't believe this, I'm afraid that every moment of the war, both sides are afraid of each other!

It is precisely because of this that the Black Iron City dares to do business with the two parties, even if there is a problem, it will only destroy the market, and there will not be too much damage to the Black Iron City itself, and through trade and arms orders, it can also get a lot of profits from both sides, so that the Black Iron City can continue to obtain gold and silver to buy what it needs.
