"What should we do in this situation?" Emperor Jingping asked again after drinking all his tea.

"Don't you want to make peace? Zhao Wei said: "But let's talk about it first, it's a fake peace, put on a posture, and then slowly drag it out, so that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom can rest assured that it will go to the death with the Tianyu Empire." ”

"Hmm. Emperor Jingping nodded and said: "I estimate that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom may not really want to seek peace, but the situation is compelling, and it also wants to paralyze us first, and pull out its hand to solve the Tianyu Empire first, and even the Great Sun Demon Kingdom may even want to pull us into battle to fight with the Tianyu Empire." ”

"I guess that's the idea of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, so let's talk about it. Zhao Weiwei said: "The two of us will not enter the palace again for the time being, just to see how many ghosts and ghosts are hidden under the muddy waters of the capital." ”

After the two sides discussed, Emperor Jingping quietly left again. With his current strength, if he really wants to hide his whereabouts, there are really not many people who can see through it.

Since then, the envoys of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom have continued to lobby around, and the civil and military ministers in the court have been arguing every day about whether to fight or make peace. Emperor Jingping did not express his position easily, but just watched from the sidelines.

As for Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yulinglong, they have not been to the court since that day. Claiming to be sick to the outside world, he should take a good rest.

No one would believe that such a reason was true, but only regarded it as an excuse, thinking that they were venting their anger because they knew that it was difficult to influence the situation.

It's not that no one was worried that Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yulinglong would be annoyed, and then sacrificed the butcher's knife again, and many of the powerful ministers who had been clamoring before trembled for a few days, but later saw that nothing happened, but the two of them were really scared, so they became more and more public.

Subsequently, there were twists and turns such as the impeachment of Zhao Weiwei, Liu Yulinglong and even Xia Fan for being arrogant and domineering, and with ill intentions.

Only he knows what Emperor Jingping thinks in his heart, but he does not leave these twists and turns. It feels like a tacit approval, so that many ministers who are already ready to move are getting more and more energetic.

The matter of peace talks is very important, and naturally it is not just a matter of talking.

However, the louder and louder voices of peace talks in the court of the entire Great Han Dynasty made the envoys of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom feel that the Great Han Dynasty did not want to continue this national war, and then the corresponding information was passed back.

It was with this kind of information that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom began to gradually shift the focus of the war towards the Tianyu Empire.

Especially after a period of time, when the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty relented in the court and said that he could talk about it, the whole of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom was even more relieved.

Even for a huge empire like the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, it is not easy to fight against two countries of equal strength at the same time. Now that one side is willing to negotiate peace, whether it succeeds or not, it is enough to breathe a sigh of relief.

The Tianyu Empire couldn't understand the current situation, and then sent envoys to Hanjing to lobby around.

The envoys on both sides were busy, wooing this minister today and that minister tomorrow, so the debate over whether to negotiate peace in the court of the Han Dynasty became more and more intense.

During this period, the alliance of the three clans of Yukong Yue never moved, and the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty under Mu Yantang were only mobilized in the territory captured by Yu Kongyue to help stabilize the situation and suppress those diehards who refused to submit to the Han Dynasty.

The only ones who continued to attack the city and plunder the land were the soldiers and horses led by Xia Hu, Xia Lei, Xia Yu and Xia Xue.

It's just that their soldiers and horses belong to the Western Frontier. Nominally, it was also under the control of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, since Xiahou was named the king of Zhen, everything within his fief has been completely autonomous.

The Han Dynasty had no way to interfere at all. It was so before, and it still is.

At least on the surface.

Therefore, Emperor Jingping asked the envoys of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom several times that during the peace talks, the two countries should completely stop some war behaviors, and he could only helplessly express his helplessness.

The Great Sun Demon Kingdom is not stupid, of course he knows that Emperor Jingping may not be unable to manage it, most of them are too lazy to care, but some things can really be seen through but cannot be broken, so he can only send troops to increase the attack on Xia Hu's four soldiers and horses.

In fact, the soldiers and horses in the hands of Xia Hu and the others could not be compared with the three clans alliance in terms of number and combat power, so naturally it was impossible to have a particularly significant impact on the current situation, at most, they were disgusting the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.

The Great Sun Demon Kingdom, which can divide most of its forces, can finally rest assured and boldly start a war with the long-cherished enemy Tianyu Empire.

Some time ago, when the Heavenly Rain Empire took advantage of the attack of the Imperial Sky Moon, it really picked up a lot of bargains by following behind, and at the same time, it also pushed the battle line in many places to the territory of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.

War is inherently quite brutal, and where it appears is a catastrophe for it. This is not only a military disaster, but also a man-made disaster.

Therefore, if you really have to fight a war, you will want to push the battlefield into the territory of the empire.

Although if you do this, you will suffer some losses in terms of geographical advantages, but fortunately, you will not feel distressed if you break it.

Now that the Heavenly Rain Empire has pushed the battle line over, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom will naturally not be invisible, the first thing to do is, of course, to recover the lost land, and then turn around to fight to the territory of the Heavenly Rain Empire.

It wasn't difficult for the Heavenly Rain Empire to capture the territory of these Great Sun Demon Kingdoms at the beginning, because they basically didn't contribute much, and they just followed the soldiers and horses of the Sky Moon to pick up the benefits.

At that time, the defenders of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom were frightened by the attack of the Imperial Sky Moon, and basically abandoned the city and fled without too strong resistance in the face of the attack of the Heavenly Rain Empire.

But now it is the turn of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom to take back these lost territories, because the Heavenly Rain Empire will definitely not easily return what it has in its hands and then casually return it.

Moreover, the Tianyu Empire knew very well what the Great Sun Demon Kingdom wanted to do, and of course it didn't want the flames of war to burn into its own courtyard, so it was determined to block the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, and the city that was about to be robbed was reinforced.

When the city was in the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, it naturally left a lot of loopholes to drill, and this battle could only be won and not lost, so the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom was all red-eyed.

As a result, as soon as the two sides started fighting, the situation became unusually tragic, and the large protective array collapsed directly after not long ago, and then it became a brutal city attack and defense battle, and the casualty figures on both sides increased with the fight.

What's even more terrifying is that both sides invariably used corpse qi to turn the corpse into a walking corpse. In this way, the cruelty on the battlefield is far greater than before.

"It's so miserable!" The scouts of the Great Han Dynasty who were ordered to observe the situation couldn't help but shake their heads again and again, but their faces were full of smiles.

For the Han Dynasty, it doesn't matter if it's the Great Sun Demon Kingdom or the Tianyu Empire, it's not a good thing, and now they're here dog-eat-dog, that's really a nice thing to see.

"Well deserved. ”

"That is, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom wants to invade us, if it weren't for the prince's block, maybe what would have happened. ”

"If it weren't for his old man's presence, how could we enjoy the excitement here. ”

"The prince is mighty!"

............

These scouts are gossiping. And the prince in their mouth is Xia Fan.

After Emperor Jingping ascended the throne, he did not mention anything about making Xia Fan king, after all, for Xia Fan, this is definitely not an honor, but more of a humiliation.

If Emperor Jingping really did this, Xia Fan might not be fine, but Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yulinglong might turn his face on the spot.

Because although the status of the king is noble, it can be said that he is above 10,000 people under one person, but after all, he is still under that person, and he is still a courtier in the final analysis.

If Emperor Jingping really wants to crown Xia Fan as a king, he wants to determine the status of the monarch and minister, which is equivalent to saying that Xia Fan is a head shorter than him. Who can accept this kind of thing?

Besides, how did Emperor Jingping come to the throne? It was not that he had the ability to earn it back and grab it back, but that Xia Fan gave it to him.

If he was quite an emperor, Xia Fan could do it at any time, but he didn't, and instead gave up the emperor's position to Emperor Jingping.

On the other hand, Emperor Jingping made him king, this is not humiliation, what is this? Even if Xia Fan doesn't say anything, his subordinates will definitely make a fuss.

Because of this, Xia Fan did not have a title in the end, let alone an official position, so the names for him became varied.

Officials such as Mu Yantang generally call Xia Fan an adult, although it is a little nondescript, but it is an honorific title. And there are many names for ordinary soldiers, and some call Xia Fan the prince, thinking that he will definitely be able to be crowned king in the future. Others are called Generalissimos.

No matter what you call it, everyone is full of reverence for Xia Fan. After all, the battle was able to achieve the current situation, Xia Fan made great contributions, and no one could deny it.

In particular, the lower-level soldiers were even more grateful to Xia Fan, because they saw how cruel the war between the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the Great Han Dynasty was now, and they realized how difficult it was for them to live well.

Just as the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the Heavenly Rain Empire were dying, Xia Fan was sitting in the quiet room in Moyun City, patiently combing and recuperating the injured divine soul.

The Divine Soul is extremely important to cultivators, but it is not immutable, especially as the strength of cultivators continues to increase, and there will be some changes when the Divine Soul gradually becomes stronger.

This kind of change may be good or bad, so cultivators need to pay attention to it at all times, otherwise, a wisp of evil thoughts will arise, and maybe it will become a fatal demon later.

At this time, Xia Fan is not only combing his soul and sorting out the chaff, but also combing through his own experience of more than 10,000 and learning lessons from it.

In life, progress can only be made through reflection. The same is true for cultivation.

In addition to recuperating his soul, Xia Fan is also recalling and sorting out his understanding of the Great Dao, and at the same time sorting out his understanding of the rules of the world in his heart.

Although this process is not very interesting, or even a little tedious, it is very good for Xia Fan.
