The monarchs and ministers of the Tianping Kingdom all thought that after the Tianhe Kingdom recovered the five cities, it would cease fighting and rectify, after all, the Tianhe Kingdom had fought repeatedly, and it would also take some time to capture the border cities. According to what they thought, the Tianhe country was nothing more than the convenience of the raid, and now they still have to divide their troops to garrison the recovered city, the other party has not enough time, and the troops are not enough, and their own country still has the strength to fight.

After the Tianping envoy returned to the Tianping Palace in embarrassment to make a report, the Tianping King was also shocked, why was it so fast, before he received the news from his side, the four cities had already been recovered by the Tianhe Kingdom, and even the last city was about to be recovered. I couldn't help but be furious in my heart: "Did the city lord of Qiushui City grow up eating? If you don't go to support, you can't report such a big thing." ”

King Tianping didn't know that Zhao Ren was completely desperate, lightning raid play, after capturing the city, there were not many garrisons left, and the prisoners were completely scattered into the army in a ratio of three to one, and the excess prisoners had already been sent back to Tianhe Kingdom. And Zhao Ren was quite strict about the news blockade, and the Qiushui City Lord did not know much earlier than the Tianping Envoy about the news of the siege of the border city, and he was even more puzzled about how the other four cities were conquered. The news of the request for help was only brought by Zhao Ren who deliberately ordered Zhang Fei to bring the small fish released, so he was only worried about the safety of Qiushui City, and did not take the siege of the border city seriously, but just sent a few vanguard teams to investigate.

The envoy of the balance also did not know the situation on the front line, he was caught outside the border city at that time, and he was so frightened that he didn't think much about it, and only brought back the information that Tianhe Kingdom was asking for compensation. King Tianping had no choice but to send spies to find out the specific situation, and before he could discuss with his ministers, the envoy of Tianhe Kingdom arrived.

The envoy of Tianhe condemned the whole country of Tianping in a stern manner, and explained the current situation and the fact of asking for compensation. After hearing that if their country did not pay compensation, the Tianhe Kingdom would send troops to attack Qiushui City. General Tianping immediately analyzed the situation of the troops on both sides, and the prime minister and other civil officials expressed their indignation in the palace and resolutely did not support the indemnity. The king of Tianping began to be angry, and he was about to execute the envoy of the Tianhe Kingdom to vent his anger. Seeing that the situation was not good, the envoy of Tianhe used an invisibility charm to escape from the palace.

On this day, King Tianping was giving a banquet to the prime minister in the palace, because the prime minister's daughter was about to reach adulthood, and he was going to marry the prime minister's daughter as his concubine. At this time, he was drinking but heard a rush of footsteps, followed by a hurried report: "Report, the lord of Qiushui City was killed, the whole city surrendered, and the army going to Qiushui City was attacked by a surprise attack, and most of them were lost, and the remaining few fled into Baishi City, and Baishi City is in danger."

Bang, the sound of wine glasses falling to the ground spread through the palace. "Qiushui City has been lost, the army has been defeated, and Baishi City has been besieged!" King Tianping's eyes lost focus, and he regretted it indescribably. It's just that the prime minister's voice came from his ears: "Your Majesty, now that Qiushui City has been lost, Baishi City is also in danger, you have to prepare early!"

The king of Tianping said blankly: "The number of troops who escaped is only 30,000, and now that they are trapped in Baishi City, how long can they last? Aiqing has a good plan to teach me?" The prime minister shook his head, thought for a while, and had to say: "Now there is only compensation to see if we can calm the anger of Tianhe Kingdom." Thinking of the reparation, King Tianping sighed: "Do you still want to pay compensation? I almost killed the envoy of Tianhe Kingdom last time, I'm afraid it's not so easy to talk about, right?"

The prime minister was also in a panic, the reason why the king wanted to execute the envoy of Tianhe Country was also instigated by himself. just thought that the situation was not so bad at that time, and the envoys of the Tianhe Kingdom were not killed, so he thought that there was still a chance to redeem it, so he suggested: "If it is rumored that there will be a truce in Baishi City, and the army will be stopped and peace, we will send people to negotiate again, and the Tianping Kingdom will not be able to fight anymore, if it continues, the surrounding countries should also fall into the ground." At this time, King Tianping only felt that his brain was in chaos: "Aiqing, the widow is too conceited, and the matter of peace will be handed over to you!" did not blame the prime minister and others, after all, the decision was made by himself, and after speaking, he walked to the dormitory with a lonely face.

"Tianpingguo has sued for peace? If you don't hurt him, you won't know how to learn well!" Although Zhao Ren had already expected the ending, after hearing the news, he couldn't help the joy in his heart, and he could go home early if he could finish it earlier. Then he said to Zhang Qing: "General Zhang, let's agree on compensation!"

Zhang Qing said excitedly: "The eldest prince, I think so, the loss of the Tianping Kingdom to capture the five cities of our country needs to be compensated for a total of 10 million taels of silver, and the troops and battle damage need to be compensated for a total of 5 million taels of silver, Qiushui City promised them to redeem half of it and be jointly managed by the two countries, so that we can have a buffer, and we don't have to directly fight each other in the future, the compensation will be calculated according to five million taels of silver, and the prisoners of war will be counted as one thousand taels?" Zhao Ren thought it was not bad, so he agreed.

After knowing that the commander of the Tianhe Kingdom was the son of the prince of the Zhao Empire, the king of Tianping was almost paralyzed in bed with fright, and came to his senses, no wonder the situation turned so quickly. After learning about the reason again, he knew why Zhao Ren, as the imperial family of the empire, was involved in the kingdom dispute, and a cold sweat soaked his back. The king thought again, although he also had the support of the Yan Empire behind him, it was only the support of resources! I couldn't help but think that this was all a loss of intelligence, and we had to pay attention to the intelligence department of the kingdom!

The monarchs and ministers of the Tianping Kingdom looked at each other, this is too wronged, but I thought that if I think of a way to find a way in the future with the land and money, I have to appease the prince of the Zhao Empire first, so I simply agreed to compensation, except for the prisoners of war who only agreed to pay five million silver to redeem five thousand officers, the other 20 million agreed to pay five million taels of silver first, and the rest was paid in ten years, there is really not so much money!

Sure enough, war is the fastest way to get money! Zhao Ren sighed in his heart. It's just that he is accustomed to seeing life and death along the way, and Zhao Ren will inevitably ask himself, how many people will experience life and death in a war, and how many people's families will be shattered? And his own concept is not benevolence, not protection? This time, first because of trials, and then because of hatred, is it right or wrong to participate in this war? He couldn't help but think: "If he is the emperor towards me, where should he lead the empire?"

Thinking too far, Zhao Ren laughed to himself. But the war is finally over. Thinking of this, he felt that it was time to talk to his parents, so he took out the talisman machine and pressed the second button. Listening to the concern expressed in his parents' voices, he held back tears, comforted his parents, and promised to go back early.

Zhang Qing didn't mind that Tianping Kingdom didn't ransom other captives, this time Tianhe Kingdom also lost a lot, just as many captives could replenish the kingdom's labor force. At the behest of the king, he purchased talisman materials in the country of Tianping and the surrounding countries, and prepared to give them to the princes as gifts. Zhao Ren couldn't wait and wanted to rush back to Tianhe King City to meet his younger brother, during which he took back the talisman machine that he had lent to the Tianhe envoy and lent it to Zhang Qing to facilitate contact.

Tianhe country, the palace of the royal city. The king took the battle report and shouted: "Get rich, get rich!" Zhao Yi raised his head and said lightly: "Oh!" He had already learned about the compensation from his brother. Thinking that his brother was about to return, he said to the king, "Old man king, my brother is coming back soon, and we are going back to Maple Leaf City!"

Seeing that the king's excitement just now disappeared, but he was a little lost, Zhao Yi suddenly thought of something, and said: "Don't worry about your talisman machine, I have made five for you in the past few days, but it is purely handmade, limited edition!" The king wiped away his tears: "Why is there still sand falling into his eyes?

These days, Zhao Yi called the king old man, and he was not angry, but felt kind. Thinking about the fact that in the past few months, the lost city has been recovered, and a huge amount of compensation has been demanded back, and the little prince has also given himself a precious talisman, and has dedicated time to making a communication artifact talisman machine for himself. And as the prince of the empire, his identity is much more noble than himself, and it would be a lie to say that he is not moved.

Zhao Yi took out the talisman machine and handed it to the king of Tianhe: "Don't be sad! Now that I have a talisman machine, I think I can talk to me at any time! If you are really reluctant, wait a few years, pass the throne to your prince, can't you come to Maple Leaf City to see me!" "King Tianhe is also a person who has gone through wind and rain, and he promises to pass on the throne when the prince is an adult, and he will go to Maple Leaf City himself, and he also joked that Zhao Yi has to leave him a piece of land in Maple Leaf City, and he will go there to retire in the future."

A few days later, on a carriage to Maple Leaf City. Zhao Yizheng said to his brother Zhao Ren: "This old man of the king is really generous, not only did he send us six shops in a row, but also spent five million taels of silver to collect materials for us. Zhao Ren flashed his gentle eyes and replied: "I am quite good at being a person, so that Zhao Wangfu will not have to worry about the lack of money and food in the future, and my younger brother will have enough materials to practice talismans in the future!" ”

Zhao Yi was modest, and then smiled: "No matter what, the person who has paid for us can't make him suffer, the shop doesn't want the king's preferential treatment, you can pay as much tax as you want, and if you have good things, remember Tianhe Country, it can be regarded as compensation!" Zhao Ren also agreed after hearing this, and said: "It should be so." ”
