For Shangguan Xiu, killing Ian is as easy as a breeze, but sometimes, killing a person directly is not the most cruel way, and stepping a prince who was originally standing in the clouds into the dust and dirt is even more torturous and humiliating.

Shangguan Xiu has never been a kind person, he has never been a good-looking person, if Ian hadn't taken the initiative to provoke him, he might not have deliberately remembered Ian as a person, but this time Ian not only provoked him, but also planned to put him to death, new hatred and old hatred, how could he be polite to Ian?

This time, Shangguan Xiu played coercion, temptation, and human nature to the extreme, pushing Ian to the cusp, exerting pressure inside and outside, and finally King Peter had to be forced to give up Ian, depriving him of all his reputation, power and status, and demoting a prince who was above 10,000 people under one person to a mortal son in cloth.

The Wind Army did not hurt a single soldier, but only did an artillery exercise outside the city of Goro, and easily achieved its goal, and the whole army retreated to the Feng Army camp. The peace treaty reached between the two countries was finally put on the table again, and both sides began to abide by the norms of the peace treaty again.

After returning to the camp, Shangguan Xiu was recruited into the sleeping tent by the people sent by Tang Ling. After meeting, Tang Ling frowned slightly and said, "I heard that Ian has been demoted to a concubine. ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "This is the royal decree that King Besa just issued. "Bai Du Yixia performed a new chapter of the Song Hall to cut the mouth

Tang Ling's eyes darkened, he lowered his head, and did not speak.

"You're still thinking about him?"

"I don't have many friends. ”

"Unfortunately, he's no longer your friend. The gloomy look on Tang Ling's face made Shangguan Xiu feel dazzling, and he said, "If you came to me just to ask about Ian, you already know everything." As he spoke, he turned and walked out.

"You hate him so much?" Tang Ling asked. Ian is a proud person from the bones, from a prince to a concubine, and he was deprived of everything, which was a blow to Ian, Tang Ling could imagine.

"I don't seem to have a reason not to hate him. Shangguan Xiu glanced at Tang Ling deeply, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out. Tang Ling said: "Ah Xiu!"

Shangguan Xiu stopped, but did not turn back.

Looking at his back, Tang Ling said quietly: "You know, I just treat him as a friend. ”

"As I said, he's no longer your friend. ”

Between private feelings and national interests, Ian chose the latter. As the prince of the country of Besa, his choice is understandable, but since he has chosen the interests of the country first, it is destined that the two sides can only become enemies, and they can no longer be friends.

"With Ian's character, he definitely can't stand such humiliation!" Tang Ling's words were like saying to Shangguan Xiu, and they were also like talking to himself.

"Hehe!" Shangguan Xiu chuckled, didn't stop in the tent, and strode out.

Could it be that he is the one who is destined to be able to endure such humiliation? At the beginning, he also ascended to the sky in one step because of his rescue work, and then he was deprived of everything by Tang Ling and sent to Zhenxi.

The big husband, who can bend and stretch, is a talent, whether he stands in the clouds, or low into the dust, he can shine, if he can only stand on the top of the mountain, once he falls to the bottom, he will collapse, such a person is destined to achieve nothing, what friends do you have with it?

Looking at the back of Shangguan Xiu's departure, Tang Ling smiled helplessly, it seemed that as long as the two of them talked about Ian, they would always break up unhappily in the end.

The assassination incident was just a small episode in the peace negotiations between the two countries, and it did not cause too many waves, to say that the person who suffered the most in this incident was naturally Ian, who was degraded from the prince of Besa to a commoner at once, even Tang Ling thought that Ian might not be able to stand such humiliation, but she underestimated Ian.

Since Ian dared to attack Shangguan Xiu, he had already prepared for the worst and chose a retreat for himself.

His retreat was the Holy See. After Ian was demoted, it was not long before he was absorbed by the Holy See, and the Pope directly appointed him as a cardinal and held the position of vice-president of the College of Cardinals.

The Council of Cardinals, composed of cardinals, is the administrative body directly responsible for the affairs of the Holy See. The cardinal was not a single person, but at times there were hundreds of cardinals, and at some times there were dozens. At the local level, cardinals may represent the pope and exercise papal powers.

Through Ian's defection to the Holy See so quickly, and being exceptionally promoted and reused by the Pope, it can also be seen that Ian's assassination of Shangguanxiu is inseparable from the Holy See. It's just that when it comes to the Holy See, no one dares to criticize it.

In a short time, the wind army set off, left Goro, and returned to the country of wind.

After the two countries signed a peace treaty, the wind army that entered the battle in Besa also withdrew from the territory of Besa in batches and retreated to the northern county of the wind country (Nashikya) to rest and reorganize.

This national war, which took more than a year with the participation of the three countries of Fengguo, Ningnan and Besa, finally came to an end.

In this battle, the most serious damage to the national strength was Besa. Besa not only lost the traditional sphere of influence - Douky, but also was taken away by the Wind Country, in addition, the Besa Royal Army, which fought with Ningnan and the Wind Country, suffered millions of casualties, which can be described as a great loss of vitality. More crucially, it was also after this national war that the dominance of the city-state of Besa was greatly shaken, and several powerful large city-states were ready to move and have a tendency to replace them.

Secondly, Ningnan's losses were also quite heavy, because they were not fighting on their own soil, and they did not suffer the damage of the war in their own country, but the casualties of the Ningnan Central Army were too great, and six or seven corps had been beaten to the point of not being formed, and only the corps number remained, but Ningnan got the Duki they wanted the most, and the strategic goal had been achieved, so it could be said that it was the winner of this battle.

The biggest winner in this war is Windy Country. Although the casualties of the Feng Army are also very large, compared with the Besa Army and the Ningnan Army, the losses of the Feng Army are much smaller, and the Wind Country fished in troubled waters to get Naxikeya, and stationed the troops of the next legion in Mulun City, whether it is against Besa or Ningnan, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended, occupying a great initiative.

Through this battle, the wind army also left a deep psychological shadow in the minds of the Besa people, especially the Zhenjun army, which was able to fight all the way from the wind country to the capital of Besa, Goro, which was like a bamboo, unstoppable, just thinking about it made the Besa people shudder, in the minds of the Besa people, the Zhenjun army was simply an invincible army.

Moreover, the ferocity of the wind army also made the Besa people hate and fear, among which it is worth mentioning that the Zhenjun army, burned and looted along the way, destroyed the towns by it, and slaughtered countless people. The war wounds left by the Zhenjun army on the Besa people may not be able to heal in the next ten years or even decades.

Therefore, later, the Besa people were not afraid to fight with the Ningnan people, but they were very afraid of fighting with the Fengren. The soldiers of the Besa army all know that there is a division of tigers and wolves in the Wind Army, which kills people like hemp and eats people without spitting out bones. The Zhenjun army relied on its fierce, ferocious and bloody fighting style to be widely known in Ningnan and Besa.

It's not a good reputation, but it's definitely a dreaded reputation.

This is in line with Shangguan Xiu's concept of governing the army. The army, the weapon of the country, is the hardest fist of the country, the sharpest tooth, and the meaning of its existence is to protect the country and deter the Quartet, rather than to let the enemy country sing the praises of virtue and spread good qualities and virtues.

The Zhenjun Army, like the other Wind Army Corps, retreated back to the North County and reorganized. The recruits and supplies brought from Zhenjun County were also continuously transported to Beijun.

It is worth mentioning that the baggage transported by Zhenjun this time is a major upgrade of the armament of Zhenjun's army.

First of all, the firebolt has been greatly transformed, and the bolt and tube have been greatly lengthened, so that the range of the firebolt can be longer, and the accuracy is higher, and the most important point is to better match the sword.

The sword produced by the Zhenjun Forge has also been improved, and it is no longer inserted into the barrel-type sword, and the sword has a buckle on it, and when used, the buckle can be fixed to the barrel, so that even if the sword is installed, the gun can still be used normally.

The body of the gun has been lengthened, and then equipped with a long sword, like a spear, whether it is a long-range attack or close combat, it can become a sharp weapon for killing.

The third type of equipment improved by the forge is ammunition, the paper shell bullet invented by the alchemist of Besa was borrowed and imitated by the forge workshop, and now the gunpowder ammunition of the Zhenjun Army is no longer loaded separately from gunpowder and projectiles, all of which are changed to paper shell bullets to complete the upgrade of gunpowder and projectile integration.

In short, the forge has only one criterion for the transformation and improvement of all weapons, and that is to create a more convenient and powerful killing weapon.

All the modified and improved weapons in the forge are first installed on the Zhenjun Army, and after they are popularized in the Zhenjun Army, they will be delivered to other Wind Army legions.

Among the Wind Army, the reason why the Zhenjun Army is the most powerful is not only because the Zhenjun people are fierce and aggressive, but also because the weapons of the Zhenjun Army have always been the most sophisticated among the Wind Army.

The county seat of North County has now been renamed Xiuyue City, which is named after Shangguanxiu.

Nashikia of Besa was incorporated into the Wind Country, becoming the tenth county of the Wind Country, the North County, and this news had already spread in the Wind Country, and a large number of people from the Wind Country poured into Nashikya to pan for gold, including merchants, farmers, and craftsmen.

Most of the Besa people who originally lived in Nashikia have migrated north, and they are unwilling to move north, and the Besa people who are willing to be incorporated into the Windy Country with Nashikaya are only a very few, such a large territory, with only such a small number of residents, where is there enough, and the people who poured in from the Windy Country can just fill the shortcomings of the population of the North County.

At present, Xiuyue City is dominated by wind people, and the streets are bustling with wind people, and only occasionally you can see the figure of the Besa people.

The temporary captains and county guards of Beijun are Caidang and Ziyin, both of whom were temporarily appointed by Shangguanxiu, so naturally they will not be recognized by the Imperial Court of the Wind Country, and their ambitions are not only to be county lieutenants and county guards here.

When Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling arrived in Xiuyue City with the army, the two of them immediately submitted their resignations to Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling.
