Chapter 224: Armistice, Promotion

Overnight, the fiasco of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the East Battalion of the Frost Army shocked the entire Qingchuan Province.

When the Frost Army followed up with nearly 20,000 reinforcements and rushed to Huoya Mountain with thousands of angers, Ouyang and others had already occupied the favorable terrain of Huoya Mountain, and immediately started a fierce battle with the Frost Army again.

The two sides were excited again for more than ten hours, fighting from early morning until dark, the battle was dark, the battle was raging, and the frost army failed to break through the defense set up by Ouyang and others in Huoya Mountain.

The tide of the battle is at a stalemate.

At this time, the frost army, which had calmed down, finally decided to start negotiations with the Tang Empire.

The negotiations continued for several days without the slightest progress.

On the side of the frost army, it insisted that the Luoshui detachment of the Tang Army must evacuate Huoya Mountain and return the three counties that had been occupied, including Zilan County, He County, and Cai County; At the same time, the Tang Army was required to hand over the culprit Ouyang, and pay another 200 million yuan to the Frost Army as a reparation for the truce.

"If your Tang Army can't agree to our request, then I, the Frost Army of more than 100,000 people in Qingbei, will not hesitate to start a full-scale war with your Tang Empire."

Shen arrogantly, the commander-in-chief of the Qingbei Frost Army, said.

The representative of the Tang Empire immediately burst out laughing, "You frost army are really joking!" ”

"In the first battle of Huoya Mountain, your country invested more than 30,000 troops, but our side invested only more than 5,000 troops, but what was the final result?"

"My Tang army has won a big victory, and your frost army has been defeated!"

The representative of the Tang Dynasty burst into applause: "As the defeated party, what qualifications do you have to open your mouth with the lion of my Datang Empire?" ”

Negotiation is to talk!

Faced with the almost rude demands of the Frost Army, the Tang Empire also put forward its own demands.

1. The three places of Zilan County, He County, and Cai County, which have been occupied by our Tang Army, have returned to the territory of the Tang Empire.

2. As the victorious side, our Tang Army can return more than 4,000 prisoners of war of the Frost Army, but it is not released free of charge, and it needs to be purchased according to the capitation;

3. Huoya Mountain is a military stronghold, and my Tang Empire will not give up an inch of land.

The Frost Moon Empire and the Tang Empire had their own opinions, which brought the negotiations to a deadlock, but the Tang Empire is now at its peak, and it has just perished, and the Lanlong Kingdom, which is several times stronger than the Frost Moon Empire, is in full swing.

Moreover, the Luoshui detachment led by Ouyang was only more than 5,000 people, but the 30,000 people of the frost army were not tempered, which made the frost army lose face.

It's not terrible to lose face, but behind such a humiliating fact, a serious problem is exposed.

"If the Tang Army's attack on us this time is not a few thousand people, but the entire 12th Army, or the entire Tang Empire, how can we resist?"

A senior Frost Army officer shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Zhangqingbei will seize Jiaolongjiang, Jiaolongjiang will occupy Luoshui, and Luoshui must first break his teeth!"

This is a proverb about the situation in Qingchuan.

At present, Huoya Mountain is under the occupation of the Tang Army, and the Tang Empire has mastered this important strategic location, even if it is not ready for a full-scale war with the Frost Moon Empire, it is no longer afraid of the Frost Army.

Huoya Mountain is where the confidence of the Tang Empire lies!

"There is no diplomacy for a weak country!"

As the defeated party, after several days of negotiations, the frost army finally compromised, and the two countries signed a truce treaty at the military fortress of Huoya Mountain, called the Treaty of Huoya!

The Treaty reads as follows:

1. The Tang Army released more than 4,000 prisoners of war from the Frost Army free of charge.

2. Zilan County, Cai County, and He County returned to the territory of the Tang Empire.

3. The frost army withdrew from Luoshui City, Qingbei, and the two countries took the Luoshui River as the junction line.

On the day of the signing of the "Huoya Treaty", in the fortress of Huoya Mountain, many reporters from the two countries gathered, and in a very short period of time, one by one, like a tornado, quickly swept the entire Tang Empire and the Frost Moon Empire.

"Datang Military Daily" said: The victory of the first battle of Huoya Mountain marks that the situation of our Tang Empire in Qingchuan Province has officially changed from a defensive posture to an offensive situation, and has changed from a strategic defensive posture to a strategic offensive posture.

"Yujing City Central Daily" said: This is a great victory initiated by a small number of people!

As a local newspaper in Qingchuan Province, "Qingchuan Daily" even posted a big headline - the battle of Huoya Mountain has been won, will it be far to recover Qingbei?

The victories conveyed by newspapers made more than 90 million people in the entire Tang Empire excited, and they all called the Tang Empire invincible.

"Join the army!"

"I want to join the army!"

"Take back Qingbei, defeat the frost army, and let the millions of people in Qingbei once again bathe in the glory of my Tang Empire!"

The ideal of strengthening the army and strengthening the country once again ignited the passion of countless Tang people, and the streets and alleys were full of crowds sprinkled with flowers and banners to march in victory.

At the same time, even the tens of millions of citizens of the Lanlong Kingdom, which had just been destroyed, also smacked their tongues.

An old man of the Lanlong Kingdom said: "With thousands of soldiers, more than 30,000 people of the Frost Army have been defeated, and I don't complain about the destruction of the Lanlong Kingdom!" ”

The victory of this battle of Huoya Mountain made some remnants of the Lan army in the territory of the original Lanlong Kingdom, that is, the current Tang Lan Province and Tang Long Province, also die down, and dare not carry out hostile activities against the Tang Empire at present.

~~~~

The Tang Empire is boiling!

However.

As the defeated side of the Frost Army, the entire country was in mourning, and countless citizens of the Frost Moon Empire spontaneously launched demonstrations one after another, strongly condemning the weakness of its government and military.

Shen Huan, the signatory of the "Treaty of Broken Teeth", has become the target of tens of millions of people in the Frost Moon Empire.

"Incompetent!"

"Sell the country for glory!"

"Shen Huan should be killed headfirst to atone for his sins."

In order to calm the anger of the people, in desperation, he had no choice but to remove the post of commander-in-chief of the Qingbei Frost Army and replace it with someone else.

After returning from Qingbei, Shen Huan was summoned by his king for the first time.

"Father-in-law, you have been wronged!"

~~~~~

Luoshui detachment.

Dai Anlan, Li Yunlong, Zhou Weiguo, Yang Tinghui, Gao Yuliang, Xu Hu, Shunyo and others all gave Ouyang a thumbs up.

"Brigade commander, how can you be sure that the Frost Army will take the initiative to ask for a truce after suffering such a big loss?" Li Yunlong asked.

At the moment, Ouyang didn't hide it, and told his thoughts one by one.

The truce between the two countries is ostensibly due to the huge disparity in the national strength of the two countries, but in fact it is not limited to this.

Deeper, it involves the political formation of the state, as well as the cultural ideology of thousands of years.

Throughout the history of the world, the cultural forms of its countries can be roughly divided into three types.

1. Farming civilization;

2. Nomadic civilization;

3. Marine civilization.

The most typical country of agricultural civilization is our China, whose blood is yearning for peace, as long as others do not attack, we are willing to defend our own one-third of an acre.

"Wife and children hot kang head" is the truest portrayal.

The Great Wall, as well as the city walls and city defenses in various places, are all the products of agricultural civilization as a defensive position, which may sound a little negative, such as not wanting to forge ahead, etc., but in fact, our Chinese nation has also benefited a lot under the influence of agricultural culture.

Throughout the Opium War, China's light industry and manufacturing industry were among the top in the world, and the people's lives were better than those of Western countries in the same period. While Western countries were still underclothed and hungry, the Chinese people were wearing linen and even silk, and the food they ate was much superior.

Farming civilization is the mentality of "small wealth is peace" and "wife and children are hot kang".

For example, in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He went to the Western Ocean seven times and led hundreds of ships of various types, which can be called the first in the world, but what happened everywhere he went?

No plunder!

There is no occupation!

No gains!

On the contrary, the porcelain, tea, exquisite handicrafts and other treasures brought by the Ming Dynasty were given to many countries free of charge, flaunting the posture of the Celestial Empire.

This kind of behavior of losing money and making money has cost countless manpower, financial resources, and material resources, and of course it cannot last long.

On the other hand, the countries under the guidance of nomadic civilization and maritime civilization have a strong sense of aggression and have completed the rejuvenation of the country through plundering again and again.

Especially maritime civilizations.

Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, and even Japan and the United States are typical capitals of maritime civilizations, and after the Industrial Revolution, these countries rose rapidly to overtake China.

Therefore, in the 21st century, the Chinese nation has changed its posture and put forward a goal.

- To the deep sea!

At this moment, the Blue Star that Ouyang is in, the Tang Empire he is in, is essentially an agricultural civilization.

The Frost Moon Empire is also a typical farming civilization.

However, the Tang Empire is a country that is independent from a colony of another country, and it is a country that has completed the transformation through conquests and expeditions under the leadership of the head of state.

"Use the guns in our hands, the cannons in our hands, to get more land for the people!"

This is the Tang Empire today!

On the other hand, the Frost Moon Empire, they have been comfortable for too long and too long, and the concept of "wife and children hot kang head" has penetrated into their bone marrow and into the blood of the rulers.

What's more, the 100,000 square kilometers of land in Qingbei was originally the land of the Tang Dynasty, and now that some of it has been lost, the people in power of the Frost Moon Empire, don't look at how angry they are, but they don't care very much.

Their own "one acre and three points of land" is what they care about the most!

"This kind of reason is also where Ouyang's confidence lies in daring to fight this battle!"

~~~~~

It didn't take a few days.

As the hero of the victory of Huoya Mountain, that is, the Luoshui detachment, he was promoted.

Luoshui detachment, upgraded to Luoshui Garrison Brigade!

Dai Anlan was promoted to the commander of the garrison brigade with the rank of brigadier general. Yang Tinghui, Zhou Weiguo, Gao Yuliang and others were also promoted accordingly.

The second update of "" is sent.
