And the war has come to this point, the decline of Guangyuan has been presented, after all, this is a relatively backward system, the management cost is very high, Guangyuan country may be able to use patriotism to unite these people around in a short time, but soon, the long war will make the people a little unbearable, not to mention that the soldiers of Guangyuan country are indeed very poor in combat, in the war, often end in failure, under the constant blows, many people of Guangyuan country have the idea of ending the war, And the other part of the people who faced Qiao Xuan were killed by the Holy Alliance.

Qiao Xuan's butcher's knife did not restrain because of the heroic resistance of Guangyuan Kingdom, on the contrary, the more fierce the resistance of the people of Guangyuan Kingdom, the more crisp Qiao Xuan's butcher knife became, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people died because of it, although Qiao Xuan's reputation completely stinked the street, but in the ruling area, no one dared to resist the rule of the Holy Alliance, it can be said that he used the trick of killing people to completely make the people in the occupied area surrender, so that the people of Guangyuan Country who were still resisting were terrified.

In the end, in the face of the attack of the Holy Alliance, some cities adopted a stricter defensive strategy, fearing that they would be captured by the Holy Alliance, and the living beings would suffer from misery, but more cities saw that the army of the Holy Alliance arrived, and immediately raised their flags and surrendered. The collapse of the Guangyuan Kingdom was already unstoppable.

However, Shu Han's side also got a lot of benefits, those cities close to Shu Han's side, the original resistance was still very fierce, but as the Holy Alliance gradually approached their direction, and the fall of Guangyuan Kingdom was already a sure thing, many cities began to surrender to the Black Iron City, after all, compared to the brutality of the Holy Alliance, the Black Iron City is obviously better, and some cities are a little pessimistic about the future of the Black Iron City, thinking that the Holy Alliance will be after the end of the war, It is bound to launch an attack on Black Iron City.

And in the future war between the two sides, Black Iron City will definitely lose to the Holy Alliance, rather than surrendering Black Iron City at this time, surrendering once in the future, it is better to follow the Holy Alliance in one step, and then the status in the country can also have a relatively high starting point, but after all, there are not many people who think this way, compared to the brutality of the Holy Alliance, Shu Han's rule is undoubtedly much more benevolent, so there are still more people willing to follow the side of Black Iron City.

And in the face of these surrendering forces, it is impossible for Black Iron City to absorb all of them like Qiao Xuan, after all, the size of Black Iron City is not comparable to the Holy Alliance, Qiao Xuan's prestige accumulated by using his cruel rule, coupled with the huge size of the Holy Alliance itself, can completely absorb these people of Guangyuan Kingdom without causing any impact on itself.

And Black Iron City is different, if all these territories are collected, then the people of Guangyuan Country will even exceed the people of Black Iron City itself, and the same is true in the number of Skywalkers, which will be a huge danger to Black Iron City, first of all, these magnates of Black Iron City are not willing to give more rights to these Skywalkers of Guangyuan Country, and at the same time, they also look down on these people who have lost the battle in their hearts, so if they absorb too much, the strength of Guangyuan Country will be too great, Then in the end, it will lead to more and more contradictions between the two sides, until they cannot be reconciled.

When he attacked Guangyuan Kingdom before, Shu Han already knew very well that his prestige in the Black Iron City was not as high as he imagined before, and if there was a direct contradiction between the two sides at that time, I am afraid that no one would listen to him as an ordinary person.

Therefore, it is impossible for these surrendered people to be absorbed in all, even if they are absorbed, there must be a charter, and they must not let their rights be too large, so as to avoid arousing the disgust of the elders of Black Iron City, and at the same time, let these people accept, so that there will be no gap between the two sides, this is what Shu Han needs to do now, and this is obviously very troublesome, but there is one thing that Shu Han can operate, that is, these people from Guangyuan Kingdom are surrenderers and losers, which is not wrong.

Take advantage of this by minimizing their say in negotiations, and then use their fear of the Holy Alliance to force them to enter the Black Iron City's system with lower demands, while stripping them of their ties to the people, so that the Black Iron City's political system will not be subversive.

But this takes time, it takes a lot of negotiations, and it will also make some rulers change their minds to surrender to the Holy Alliance, so this will undoubtedly give the Holy Alliance more loopholes to drill, but there is no way, Shu Han can only do this, although this will reduce the speed of incorporation, but it is safer, and just when Black Iron City and the Holy Alliance seized the time to seize the territory of Guangyuan Kingdom, Dai Wushu took his remnants of the defeated generals, and those who were loyal to him fled back to his main city, Guangyuan City, According to the defense of the city, obviously, he is also powerless to return to the sky, during which he sent someone to contact Shu Han, hoping to be merged into the Black Iron City.

Shu Han naturally won't let him in, others come in, and it still needs to go through some negotiations, if Dai Wuxian comes in, with his prestige, it is impossible to say who will have the final say in Black Iron City at that time, but Dai Wushu has some capital at this time, and there are about 30,000 troops in his hands that have been temporarily gathered, Dai Wushu told Shu Han that if he doesn't help himself, then these 30,000 people will be used to block the pace of Black Iron City, and then the Holy Alliance will get all the benefits, And Shu Han will not get any benefits, and if the Holy Alliance starts a war with Black Iron City, then Black Iron City will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

This is undoubtedly a very important bargaining chip, more than 30,000 troops is not much, not to mention that these are all miscellaneous troops, but these people are also the last loyal and Dai Wushu people, their combat ability may not be strong, but they will definitely be very loyal to perform Dai Wuxian's orders, and these people don't need to be too long to stop the pace of Black Iron City, as long as there is half a month, the Holy Alliance can complete the integration and annex most of the entire Guangyuan Kingdom into his stomach, Shu Han naturally does not want to see this scene.

Although the Black Iron City and the Holy Alliance exchanged hostages with each other, everyone knows that the process of the war will not end because of the hostages, it is just a matter of time, if in the battle for Guangyuan Kingdom, the Black Iron City will not get the majority of the population, and the Holy Alliance will be farther and farther away, and this will make the war closer, only by promoting the strength of the two sides of the population is almost the same, the war on both sides can end, and their children will not encounter accidents in the Holy Alliance.

Qiao Xuan may not care about his son Qiao Mao, but Shu Han is very concerned about his children, and he doesn't want his children to become victims of the war, so in this battle, Black Iron City must get more population, cities, and territory in order to continue to confront Black Iron City.

For this reason, Shu Han gave a clear reply to Dai Wuxian's request, first of all, it is impossible for Dai Wuxian himself to be protected by Black Iron City, otherwise the foundation of Black Iron City's political rights is unstable, which is unacceptable to Black Iron City no matter what, Dai Wusheng also agrees with this point, he knew from the beginning that he would never be able to survive, and Shu Han promised him that his family and children can be protected by Black Iron City, and they will live in Black Iron City as a family and enjoy the highest level of treatment, And the families of those subordinates who follow him will also be treated by Black Iron City, and their children will be able to live the life they want, and they will definitely not be poor, this is the promise given to them by Shu Han, and at the same time, the people of Guangyuan City will be directly recognized as second-level citizens, almost the same as the ordinary people of Black Iron City, this is the best treatment that Shu Han can give Dai Wuxian.

And this is what Dai Wuxian wants, or even better, after all, at this time, he is already a yellow flower in the past, and he only has one breath left, and he can exchange his life for the future of his children, Dai Wuxian has no regrets at the moment, after all, compared with Black Iron City, the Holy Alliance is too brutal, and the slaughter of the people is so tragic that it is impossible for Dai Wushu to endure it, so after discovering that Black Iron City has a certain war potential and can fight against the Holy Alliance, Dai Wuxian finally chose Black Iron City.

After signing the contract with Shu Han, Dai Wusheng led his army and subordinates to the stronghold of the Holy Alliance, his army will buy a certain amount of time for the Black Iron City, and during this time, the Black Iron City quickly accepted the population of the four cities near Guangyuan City, which is also the only large plain area in the Guangyuan Kingdom, with a total of 3,000 square kilometers, living more than 800,000 people, with the help of Dai Wushu and the clan, the Black Iron City received this land and population, There were hardly any problems.

After all, almost all the Skywalkers here rushed to the front line with Dai Wuxian, and the entire region was already a power vacuum, which made it very easy for Black Iron City to absorb this land into its own rule, and Shu Han quickly re-established effective rule in the area, and then organized these people to start occupying other cities.

After all, compared to the people of Black Iron City, it is obvious that the people of Guangyuan City are more familiar with the affairs of Guangyuan Kingdom, and let them accept those cities, which will undoubtedly be easier for local residents to accept, and at the same time, it will also allow Black Iron City to have more space to operate, even if Guangyuan City does not do well, Black Iron City can also be supported in the back.

At the same time, these people are very familiar with the people of each city, and they have an understanding of the traditions and customs of each city, so that they can be trusted more than the locals, after all, their masters are now gone, and their future life needs to rely on the Black Iron City.

The second is that Guangyuan City is the former capital, and the people here know more about the whole country, in this case, it is undoubtedly much better for them to take over the entire city than the layman of Black Iron City, and it is true that with the addition of Guangyuan City, the reception speed of Black Iron City is much faster, and at the same time, Dai Wuxian led the troops to block the attack of the Holy Alliance, and bought time for Black Iron City, which allowed Black Iron City to absorb a large number of cities in the next week, By the time Dai Wuxian died on the front line and the Holy Alliance was ready to annex the surrounding cities, there were only four or five cities left still watching, waiting to stand aside, and the side of Black Iron City, in this week's time, had absorbed more than 20 cities, and the registered population alone exceeded 2.3 million, which can be said to occupy more than half of Guangyuan Kingdom, and there were 300,000 more people, as for the territory, it was more than three-fifths of the territory in Guangyuan Kingdom. What's more critical is that the only plain area of Guangyuan Country is occupied by Black Iron City, Guangyuan City as a stronghold, a plaster land with a population of 800,000, is now in the hands of Black Iron City, which makes Black Iron City do not need to transport materials from the rear, relying on this city alone, you can bring the entire Guangyuan City area into its control.

Compared with Black Iron City, the quality of the land received by the Holy Alliance is relatively much worse, almost mainly hills, and the city is very broken, and there are a lot of hidden accounts, in the face of such an ending, Qiao Xuan naturally has some thoughts in his heart, but at this time, the overall situation has been decided, and he can't say anything, not to mention that this war has been going on for almost half a year, and the two sides are already exhausted, and it is naturally time to rest at this time, so although Qiao Xuan still wants to fight in his heart, Hoping to get more people from Black Iron City, but this time must also stop.

At this time, there is another problem in front of the Black Iron City and the Holy Alliance, that is, the land and population left behind by the Guangyuan Kingdom, how to govern the problem, the first of which is the food problem, the war has exhausted all parties, at this time, the only way to exploit the residents of the Guangyuan Kingdom is to take care of the people of the Black Iron City or the Holy Alliance.

For the Holy Alliance, there was no problem with this, Qiao Xuan didn't have any feelings for the people of Guangyuan Kingdom, so he directly ordered them to be deprived of their rations, requiring them to hand over all the granaries, and at the same time issued a very cruel relocation order.

It is required that all the people in the original territory of Guangyuan Kingdom must immediately move to the place arranged by the Holy Alliance to live, in this way, to reduce the population of Guangyuan Kingdom, abandon those old and disabled people at this time, and at the same time re-establish order in the new land.
