Chapter 299: The Dust Falls
At the same time that the ghost of Lishan learned about the first battle situation, the prince of Zhaowen also learned about the battle situation on the front line.
And the news he got was far more than what the Lishan ghost said.
One of the pieces of news was even more overwhelming.
The military god Xiongba, with 200,000 Chu troops, withdrew his fiefdom.
Most of these 200,000 Chu troops are descendants of Xiong Ba. 而来自中土神洲灰霾大师,也似乎也背叛了楚王,与熊霸站在了一起。
The king of Chu also realized the seriousness of the matter, and sent Da Situ to Xiong Ba's fiefdom, never mentioning the defeat in the battle of Jingcheng, but asked Xiong Ba to return to the royal capital and preside over the overall military and political situation.
The king of Chu even promised that as long as Xiong Ba returned to the capital, he would be appointed as the great Sima, the king, and Jiuxi!
In order to stabilize Xiong Ba, the King of Chu was also anxious, and the fiefdom, official position and grace were promised to Xiong Ba without money.
In fact, the King of Chu no longer expects Xiong Bazhen to be able to turn the tide and preside over the overall situation. He only begged Xiong Ba not to cause chaos at this time, and he was thankful for rebelling or defecting to the side of Da Zhou.
Of course, while the King of Chu released all kinds of goodwill towards Xiong Ba, he did not fail to prepare for the worst, Yang Laozu had already left the place of retreat, if Xiong Ba did not enter the oil and salt, then don't blame the royal family for being unkind.
It's just that this is also the last resort of the royal family, as long as Xiong Ba does not develop in the aspect that the royal family least wants to see, Yang Laozu will not use such a method.
After all, when the Chu State is in turmoil, killing a general who has won countless glory for the country and has the title of military god will defeat the only remaining military public opinion in the Chu State, and it will be difficult to maintain the rule of the royal family in the Chu State.
......
Mi An was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "I promised......"
The ghost of Lishan slowly sat down and showed a sincere smile: "Then ask the prince to transfer the deed to the king of Chu, the contract can only be signed by the king of Chu, and the immortal dynasty can be convinced of the sincerity of the state of Chu." ”
The Lishan ghost would not easily believe Mi'an's words. The terms set out in this peace treaty are not something that a royal prince can bear, and must be signed in the name of the king of Chu and the state of Chu, bound by the Great Dao Oath, and bound by the power of the Heavenly Dao.
"This natural ......"
Zhaowen Gongzi's face was like ashes.
He knew that from this moment on, the state of Chu would no longer be a big country in the southern Zhan Continent, and its national strength and territory would go back thousands of years ago, and the current situation would be worse than then.
According to the treaty, the king of Chu went to the king and called the marquis. The original situation of dividing the river with the Immortal Dynasty no longer exists, and all the territories on both sides of the river belong to the territory of Chu within 500 miles, which are divided into the territory of the Immortal Dynasty and used to divide the heroes of the expedition to Chu.
And just before the peace treaty was signed, the territory occupied by the Immortal Dynasty belonged to the Immortal Dynasty.
Of the seven caves and blessed lands owned by the Chu royal family, four must be handed over, and the specific ones are left to the Immortal Dynasty to choose.
In addition, all the sects and mountain sects that have occupied the territory of the Immortal Dynasty can freely choose to return to the Immortal Dynasty or the Chu State, but if they continue to choose the Chu State, these sect forces must give up the place where they are currently located and withdraw to the Chu State.
If you want to submit to the Immortal Dynasty, you must make a great oath in front of the envoys sent by the Immortal Dynasty, as a basis of trust to follow the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty.
In addition, there are dozens of clauses, each of which is an unbearable humiliation for the Chu royal family and the court, and even for the monks.
However, in the face of the pressure of the Immortal Dynasty and the acquiescence of the Shuangmeng forces, there was no opposition from the top to the bottom of the Chu State, and after Mi'an presented the peace treaty to the King of Chu, in less than half an hour, it returned to the hands of the Lishan ghosts.
"Chu State...... The backbone is broken. ”
Getting everything he wanted, the Lishan ghost didn't have much joy.
The state of Chu, after all, is the state of his parents, and he also has a huge responsibility when he has fallen into such a situation.
It's just that...... To be honest, the ghost of Lishan still can't understand that the state of Chu, which has obviously accumulated the strength and wealth of six generations of Chu kings, has got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and with the blessing of Mo Heng, the prince who has controlled the government of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty for decades, no matter how you look at it, this war will not fail, let alone fail miserably.
But the truth has gone to an unbelievable situation.
"Qin Liang ......"
The Lishan ghost finally sighed faintly.
If there was no Qin Liang's spirit cannon, it seemed that there was no upper limit of the number of spirit cannons to support, the Shaking Mountain Army would not fail, and the Chu State would not be defeated.
"Times have changed......
Lishan Ghost smiled bitterly, and then he sighed luckily that he had made the right choice when he had a choice, otherwise, he would have lost everything and had nothing in this war, just like most of the magnates of the Chu State......
......
Danyang City.
The Pingchu army had returned to the fiefdom and began to rest.
Qin Liang naturally returned to his fiefdom, and the Pingchubo Mansion was ready-made, directly accepting a palace of the King of Chu, and after a slight transformation, and after removing some arrogant buildings and decorations, it became Qin Liang's mansion.
When he returned to Danyang City, Qin Liang learned from the mirror moon that the King of Chu had negotiated peace before the Zhenxi army arrived in the Chu capital, and without any struggle, he directly accepted all the conditions proposed by the Immortal Dynasty.
"It's ...... ruthless"
Qin Liangdu had to admit that the Lishan ghost was a ruthless person.
If he went to negotiate with Chu State, he couldn't put forward such harsh conditions.
Not only did it take away half of the territory of the Chu State, but most of it was a place of ointment and strategic importance, and it also took away half of the treasury of the Chu State, dividing the Chu State and the monk forces, and the Chu State was attacked in all directions.
Moreover, the king of Chu went to the throne and called himself a prince, in fact, the state of Chu has become a vassal of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, both in name and in fact.
The action of the Shuangmeng was also very fast, and when the Chu State agreed to the harsh terms of the Immortal Dynasty, someone in the Xiyue Dynasty proposed in the Shuangmeng that the Chu State had lost its status as a dynastic power and should be removed from the list of the ten major dynasties in Nanzhan Buzhou. The state of Chu should no longer be protected by the regulations of the Double Alliance, and become a treasure hunting area for all countries, just like the area outside the territory of the Terran race.
It's just that this proposal was resolutely opposed by the envoys of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty.
What are you kidding, before the contract was signed, the Immortal Dynasty and the Chu State were like fire and water, but after the Chu State completely surrendered, the Chu State became the follower of the Immortal Dynasty, and in the Double Alliance, it could add some weight to the Immortal Dynasty. I won't say how much this amount is, but I can count a little more.
After all, the Immortal Dynasty is not a transcendent force in the Double Alliance, and it needs to gather more forces to ensure its interests inside.
Qin Liang didn't care about these things.
After returning to the Pingchubo Mansion, he began to practice in retreat. After all, his current cultivation is too weak, and without the protection of Yi and the sand sculpture, he would not dare to go out of the Pingchubo Mansion at all, for fear that if he walked out of the door, he would be killed by the assassins who plotted against him.
Improving personal strength has become Qin Liang's top priority.
