Xiao Yilin laughed happily. This time they have really gained a lot.

Although he is known as the god of war by many, he is not a belligerent person. As long as there is a war, people will die, and he does not want this war to continue. With this copper mine, even if he didn't capture more cities, his father would not blame him. He must let this copper mine belong to the Great Jin.

Jing Yi grabbed Xiao Yilin and said, "Brother Xiao, here we must let Beiyan cede to us."

Xiao Yilin nodded and said, "Of course, since it's in our hands, there is no reason to return it. Besides, this is what you found, how can you give it to Beiyan? If my father knew that we had discovered the copper mine, he would be overjoyed."

After all, the imperial court is very much in need of copper, whether it is to mint copper coins or to make various weapons and utensils, the amount of copper needed is huge. However, the Jin Kingdom has only discovered three copper mines today, and the annual output of copper is far from enough.

Well, maybe this will be a huge copper mine. In this case, they must take this land.

Xiao Yilin immediately made a decision in his heart, "Jingyan, our army has to move forward a little, so that we can take this place without fail."

Jing Yi nodded and said, "You look at the decision."

Xiao Yilin ordered Gu Yu and them to fill in the big pit they had just dug, and Jing Yi only kept two stones privately.

Xiao Yilin said to Gu Yu and the others, "Today's incident must be kept secret from the outside world, and not a word is allowed to be leaked to the outside world."

It is not suitable for mining here for the time being, and it can only be mined after the defense here is arranged to ensure that nothing goes wrong. But this place is very close to Beiyan, and even if it is mined, it has to be mined secretly. Try not to let Beiyan know, otherwise I am afraid that they will come to rob it.

This is also the reason why Xiao Yilin decided to push the army forward a little more.

It was already afternoon, and they did not continue to stay in the mountains, and the group carried herbs and prey down the mountain and returned to Pingyang City.

Because of the herbs as a cover, everyone else thought that Jingyi and they really went to the mountains to collect medicines. No one knew that Xiao Yilin had discovered a copper mine.

Returning to Pingyang City, Xiao Yilin summoned all the generals to discuss, and led the army to continue to pursue the Northern Yan army tomorrow.

At this time, Xiao Chenghan in the capital had already received the news that Xiao Yilin had returned to Langyue City safe and sound, and had also killed Mo Kun, the general of Northern Yan, and captured the prince of Northern Yan alive.

Xiao Chenghan learned that his son came back safe and sound, and he let go of the heart he had been carrying.

He had received the news before, and An Lehou immediately set off for the north after learning that his fourth son was missing, and rushed to Langyue City in the north in less than four days from the southwest border.

It is difficult for ordinary people to do it even if they are in a sleepless hurry, but I didn't expect this Chu Jingyan to do it. He didn't know what the kid had to be tired of.

Moreover, when a person arrives in the north, he almost does not rest and goes into the desert alone to find the fourth son, what a deep friendship this must be to do so. This friendship is even envied by him.

God still treats his fourth child very well, allowing him to get such a girl who values love and righteousness. The two have the experience of living and dying together, and I believe that the two will be very happy in the future.

Xiao Chenghan decided to wait for his fourth son to return to the court, so he would marry the two of them, and handle their marriage as soon as possible, and he also got better.

And other people in the capital also quickly learned the news of Xiao Yilin's return safe and sound, some people were happy and some were sad, and some people jumped straight to their feet.

Xiao Yitai learned that Xiao Yilin had come back, he was not dead, let alone injured, and he was angry that he didn't eat for a day. He thought that God had helped him solve Xiao Yilin, a fierce rival, but he didn't expect him to come back alive. It's really annoying.

Xiao Yiheng, Xiao Yikun and others were also in an irritable mood, this time Xiao Yilin not only did not die, but also killed Mo Kun and captured the prince of Beiyan alive, which made a great contribution. After that, they could all foresee the outcome of the defeat of the Northern Yan. This made Xiao Yilin show off again.

To say that the happiest should be Xiao Yiyan, he learned that the fourth brother was safe and sound, and happily danced in his room for a long time.

This time, Xiao Yilin left Pingyang City only to take away 100,000 troops, and the rest continued to stay in Pingyang City.

Yuan Zhenchuan and other generals all felt it

Such an opportunity to expand the territory should not be missed, and it is indeed necessary to continue to occupy more land.

Except for Jingyi, others don't know what Xiao Yilin really thinks in his heart, they just know that they just follow the coach.

The next day, Xiao Yilin left Pingyang City with 100,000 troops. Yuan Zhenchuan stayed in Pingyang City to preside over Yiying's affairs.

Of course, Jingyi was with Xiao Yilin. The army walked unhurriedly for two days without encountering a single resistance, and they also walked more than a hundred miles. Xiao Yilin decided to set up camp and rest for two days.

Because the spies reported that after walking a hundred miles further, they would arrive at a big city in Beiyan, and it was not easy to capture this big city.

And Tuoba Liancheng also came to the camp of the Jin *** team at this time with the peace letter of the Northern Yan Emperor.

Xiao Yilin heard a report from his soldiers that the second prince of Northern Yan, Tuoba Liancheng, had personally led the delegation to sue for peace, and thought to himself, it was quite fast.

Xiao Yilin said, "Please come in with the envoy of Beiyan."

Soon, Tuoba Liancheng was brought into the big tent of the Chinese army.

As soon as Tuoba Liancheng entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Jingyi felt that his eyes lit up, yo, this second prince of Beiyan is still a handsome guy, and his brother Tuoba Liansheng's five big and three thick, Kong Wu powerful appearance is completely different, but he is a gentle as jade, handsome and elegant young man.

After Tuoba Liancheng entered the tent, he bowed to Xiao Yilin, "His Royal Highness King Jing is polite, and Tuoba Liancheng, the second prince of Beiyan, is under the city. Liancheng led an embassy to bring his father's letter of peace to your country this time. I also ask His Royal Highness King Jing to accept our request for peace."

As he spoke, Tuoba Liancheng handed over the peace letter he was carrying with him to a personal soldier. The soldiers handed over the peace request to Xiao Yilin again.

Xiao Yilin opened the peace book and read it, and then handed the peace book to Jing Yi, "Jing Yan, take a look."

Jing Yi took the peace letter and read it, and the content on it was that the Northern Yan Emperor promised that if the Jin State stopped attacking, the Northern Yan was willing to cede the three cities and a large area of surrounding land, and also compensated another 1 million taels of gold.

That's not a bad compensation. After all, Beiyan is also very difficult now, and if they press too the side of the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid it will backfire.

Moreover, after the Jin State obtained the ceded land, it was equivalent to another copper mine, which was already enough.

Jing Yi turned her head to Xiao Yilin and nodded, and whispered, "Brother Xiao, this compensation is okay, so be it." But there is one more thing to add, it is inevitable that Beiyan will have a regeneration incident in the future, and we will let Tuoba Liansheng come to our Jin Kingdom as a proton."

Xiao Yilin also knew it, and he was quite satisfied with the compensation promised by Emperor Beiyan. But when he heard Jing Yi's words, his eyes lit up. He instantly understood what the little girl meant.
