If this continues, the entire Donghai Kingdom will be annexed by Langya Kingdom!

Tao Qian hurriedly mobilized a total of 120,000 troops from four counties to gather in Tan County to threaten Kaiyang County again.

Xia Liang is very calm now. She took advantage of the situation and captured the three counties of Donghai Kingdom not entirely out of revenge.

These three counties are the bridgeheads for attacking Donghai Guoqu County (Lianyungang) and even Guangling County.

When she learned that Tao Qian was preparing to attack Kaiyang County again at all costs, she declared a truce and returned to Kaiyang County.

The two sides returned to the confrontational situation between Xia City and Tan City before the war began, and the situation was tense.

Tao Qian gathered 120,000 people, claiming to be half a million.

Xia Liang gathered 40,000 people, claiming to be one million.

Isn’t it just a big show of publicity? Who wouldn’t do that?

For a while, Tao Qian couldn't figure out how many troops Xia Cheng had. Anyway, there would definitely not be a million-strong army. Only if all the men in Langya Kingdom became soldiers could a million-strong army be assembled.

However, as long as the million-strong army formed by La Zhuangding defeats its forward, the entire army will basically be defeated, which is of little significance.

Xuzhou's Mi family, Chen family, Cao family, Wang family and other aristocratic families saw that both sides planned to bring the war to the East China Sea, and might even sweep the entire Xuzhou, so they quickly came forward to persuade them.

Mi Zhu's hometown is Qu County in the East China Sea, and his foundation is basically there. However, the military front of Langya Kingdom has threatened Qu County. Mi Zhu did not want his family property to be destroyed due to the war, so he personally came forward and traveled between Tancheng and Xiacheng to mediate.

Mi Zhu, who had not even seen Chu Tian, ​​came to Xia City. Instead, Xia Liang, who guarded the house for him, was the first to summon Mi Zhu.

When Mi Zhu saw this young girl who personally commanded and defeated hundreds of thousands of coalition troops and annexed three counties in the East China Sea, even a wealthy businessman like him felt intimidated.

Unexpectedly, Xia Liang behaved well and entertained Chu Tian's benefactor humbly without any murderous intent, which made Mi Zhu feel a little relieved. He thought that the butcher and female devil mentioned by strangers must be very cruel.

"Tao Qian wants to cease the war, that's fine."

"really?"

Mi Zhu thought it would be difficult to calm Xia Liang's anger. Mi Zhu was surprised that she stopped fighting so easily.

"However, he must spend 200,000 taels of silver and 100,000 units of grain as pensions for the soldiers of Langya Kingdom."

"Too much……"

"Mr. Mi Zhu, our Langya Kingdom lost tens of thousands of soldiers because of this battle. Nine towns were damaged to varying degrees, dozens of villages were burned down, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced. I want to resettle them. This compensation,

Do you think it's too much? Or is Tao Qian willing to compensate us for our losses only if he wants me to capture Tan County?"

"This is easy to say, easy to say..."

As a businessman, Mi Zhu knew that Xia Liangshi was opening his mouth in order to have bargaining chips, so the two parties bargained and finally asked Tao Qian to compensate Tao Qian for 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 units of grain. The two sides temporarily stopped fighting. Part of the silver was still provided by the Mi family.

bear.

Xia Liang knew that she didn't have enough troops, so she tried to be as strong as possible, which was actually to cover up the weakness of Langya Kingdom.

Even if she wanted to go to war, the current war potential has been exhausted.

Chu Tian, ​​who was located in Hulao Pass, originally planned to use the teleportation array in Chenliu County to go to Beihai Kingdom. After receiving supplies from the territory of Mr. Zhao of Beihai Kingdom, he would then return to Langya Kingdom to defeat the enemy.

However, just as he was about to leave, news came that the Langya Kingdom had defeated the coalition forces and stormed the three counties of the Donghai Kingdom.

Even Chu Tian was confused. Is what he left behind really the second and third line defense troops? Why does it feel more powerful than the main force he led...

Unconsciously, three counties were expanded, and Chutian's power extended from Langya Kingdom to Donghai Kingdom.
