Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Xinghan achieved a victory.

But the results were few and far between.

The Han Dynasty seemed to have suffered a crushing defeat, but in reality, it only lost a camp, a three-talent legion, and less than ten thousand double-talent elites.

It sounds terrible, but compared to total annihilation, this result is obviously much better.

Oswin captured a number of illusion soldiers, each with varying strengths, and they were all locked firmly in the middle by the Miracles and unable to move.

Sun Tzu studied these imaginary soldiers with great enthusiasm, connecting his theoretical research with these actual products, and found many research topics.

These topics are also quite valuable for the military genius.

Xinghan will not build a purely illusion-based army, but it is necessary for them to build an illusion-based legion.

Since this thing is really strong, we can also study the issue of it being countered by the Changshui Camp.

However, even for a military genius, it would take some time to research this kind of project that reverses the effect of elite talent.

Sun Tzu was so engrossed in his research that he neglected to eat or sleep, but he had a lot of projects on his hands.

I simply can't find the time right now, so I can only record them as individual projects and make plans for them when I have free time.

Shen Pei could only put on a smiling face and then control the supplies sent to Sun Wu, so that Sun Wu would have as little funding as possible for the research and development of these projects.

They focused more attention on their Qingyang soldiers.

Of all the projects Sun Wu had on hand, only the training of Qingyang soldiers was truly relevant to them. If Sun Wu were to be distracted by other projects and neglect the Qingyang soldier system, they would be in serious trouble.

They dared not urge him openly, so they could only resort to such underhanded tactics to remind Sun Tzu.

Sun Wu didn't have any opinion on this. Every time he ran out of extra experimental materials, he would send messages to Shen Pei and Luoyang to ask for supplies.

Before the new batch of supplies arrived, he continued training the Qingyang soldiers.

Shen Pei's worries were completely unnecessary; Sun Tzu knew the priorities.

Often, his lack of intervention meant that the training was proceeding as planned; it was only because Shen Pei and the others valued the Qingyang soldiers too much that they were so impatient.

Only when the Qingyang Army is fully formed will the Yuan family have the confidence to resist the Illusion Army.

Zhou Tai and Gao Lan have already proven over time the advantage of a legion with strong recovery capabilities when facing Illusionary Warriors.

After all, Lü Meng was already planning to pack up and leave, while the threat from the Han Dynasty had not been completely eliminated. The other side had suffered a defeat and would be preoccupied with the Changshui Camp in the short term, so they would not do anything rash. Instead, they would tighten their defenses and be on guard against attacks from Shen Pei and his men.

After all, the Han side had no idea what the Yuan family's situation was. They only knew that the God of War and the Miracle were both present, and that they also possessed a legion that could counter the Illusion Warriors.

Their defeat shrouded the Yuan family in a powerful veil, but once they regrouped, this veil could not prevent them from seeing the true strength of the Yuan family.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate and the next war could break out at any moment, an envoy sent by Lü Meng entered the Han camp.

"Who are you?"

"Zhang Zhi, the messenger of the Milky Way!" Zhang Zhi said, holding the talisman in his hand, neither humble nor arrogant.

All the civil and military officials in the Great Han Commander's tent became serious. Zhang Zhi used an ability similar to telepathy, so he could understand most languages, and they could hear what Zhang Zhi said very clearly.

However, most of them did not know what the envoy was there for. At this critical juncture of their defeat and retreat, it was impossible to judge the envoy's intentions.

Feng Yi, who was sitting high in the head coach's seat, and Li Jiao, Liu Zhi and others on his left and right sides were taken aback and looked at Zhang Zhi with a more solemn expression.

"Please offer the envoy a seat!" Feng Yi said.

Zhang Zhi understood what he meant, so he bowed respectfully. As long as the other party was willing to talk, there would be no problem.

The group of burly officers then began to whisper among themselves.

Sending an envoy to the camp of the defeated side is a dangerous job; it's common to be killed by the enemy in a fit of rage.

Hearing that Feng Yi had offered him a seat, Zhang Zhi was secretly delighted, but he remained outwardly calm.

Although I had come prepared, and since I was no longer afraid of death, I was actually more relaxed, and at least I had more courage when I looked around.

Soon, at Feng Yi's command, a chair was brought in, and Zhang Zhi did not refuse, sitting down steadily in the chair.

"Thank you, General!"

Feng Yi nodded slightly, signaling the officers to leave. With that brute around, many things couldn't be discussed.

Sometimes, bargaining is seen as weakness by these officers, and keeping them around would only ruin the atmosphere.

The reason he invited everyone was to show his respect for the envoy. Now that the process was complete, he naturally dismissed them all.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhi felt more at ease. Just from the current situation, he could tell that the other side attached great importance to this matter, which was good news for him.

Feng Yi gave a brief introduction, and then the two sides got down to business.

"What brings the messenger here?"

"I've come here only to stop the fighting. It's time for our war to come to an end," Zhang Zhi said calmly to everyone. Upon hearing this, all the military generals' faces darkened, while several civil officials began to look thoughtful.

After all, the two sides had fought a battle and had a basic understanding of each other.

"The war between our two sides stemmed from a misunderstanding!"

Xinghan has figured out why they started fighting.

Ultimately, it was because the Han Dynasty was expanding and had long had its eyes on this city.

It happened to be captured by the Yuan family, which led to a clash between the two armies.

Strictly speaking, Xinghan's actions were a self-defense counterattack.

After both sides finished their first round of fighting, they both started calling for reinforcements without prior arrangement.

This caused the scale of the war to expand, forcing even military geniuses and miracles to intervene and prepare for it.

In reality, there is no clear conflict of interest between the two sides at present.

This city was captured by Xinghan, and there's no way we'd give it up to anyone else.

This place didn't actually belong to the Han Dynasty; it was just included in the Han Dynasty's attack plan.

The Yuan family was unlucky; they randomly chose a target, but it just so happened that the big man had also set his sights on them.

If the Yuan family were just a roadside inn, the Han Dynasty certainly wouldn't mind kicking them to death and then taking over the city.

But now the Yuan family has demonstrated its strength and resources, which forces the Han Dynasty to consider whether they should fight against an unknown empire for a city that does not belong to them.

Feng Yi made no comment in response to Zhang Zhi's explanation.

Regardless of the initial conflict, the Han Dynasty has now suffered two consecutive defeats.

This is already an irreconcilable conflict.

If it were any other commander, they would definitely have driven Zhang Zhi out, or even beheaded him to restore morale.

But Feng Yi had other ideas in mind.

They also reviewed the situation and found that the Illusionist faction was really badly suited to the Changshui Camp. If they were to fight head-on, it would be a miracle if they could only muster 1 of their 3 combat power.

Even if we win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory, and it will benefit no one.

In this situation, swallowing one's pride might be a good choice; the dignity of the Han Dynasty doesn't necessarily need to be upheld by their Illusionist faction.

No one would use light cavalry to charge the city walls.

Their illusionary abilities have already been suppressed, so there's really no need for them to fight to the death here.

Their presence here is essentially to curb the Yuan family's external expansion. Feng Yi still believes he can win.

The Changshui Battalion did indeed have the ability to restrain them, but restraint was not the only measure of their strength; they were not entirely without the power to fight back.

He had been outmaneuvered by Lü Meng using information asymmetry, and he accepted his defeat.

However, after learning of the existence of Changshui Camp.

They have already come up with a way to deal with the situation, so that it won't be as disastrous as before, when a three-talent legion was wiped out in one blow.

If we play another match, we won't lose as badly as before.

Although they lost badly, the actual losses were not significant.

This was actually the purpose of Lü Meng sending the envoy.

He's leaving, so he has to clean up the mess left by this war.

After all, as long as these people from the Han Dynasty don't leave, the war is still considered to be ongoing.

Especially towards the end of the war, the Great Han Military God had already intervened, escalating the war's level. If he didn't deal with it, he really wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon.

In order to deliver a perfect answer, Lü Meng decisively chose to send envoys to sue for peace.

"The envoy is seeking peace!" Feng Yi said calmly.

"It's always good to value harmony!" Zhang Zhi nodded, his expression serious and earnest, making Feng Yi realize that the other party was not joking.

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it!"

Knowing the empire's domineering nature, Li Jiao's lips curled into a mocking smile.

He simply didn't believe that Xinghan, who was on the winning side, would choose to back down.

"We have signed a truce agreement. Your side shall leave this place, and we will also abandon our expansion in this direction!"

Zhang Zhi pulled out a map and spread it out in front of everyone.

Feng Yi and the others immediately narrowed their eyes.

The conditions proposed by Lü Meng were very tempting, and fighting to the death with an empire was indeed not a good choice.

If both sides can find common ground while reserving differences, it would indeed be a good choice.

"If the general refuses, then here is another letter of challenge to present to the marshal." Zhang Zhi proudly took out the letter of challenge from his bosom, stood up and handed it to the guard next to him.

The generals and officers of the Han Dynasty were all taken aback upon hearing this, while Li Jiao showed a look of "I knew it" on his face. This was in line with the style of an empire.

If it weren't for this challenge, he would have suspected that there might be some internal problems within the Yuan family, which was why they had no choice but to seek peace.

Which empire wasn't built on mountains of corpses and seas of blood? An empire that seeks peace can never last long.

"..."

Feng Yi fell into deep thought, accepted the challenge, and agreed to a truce.

He already had the answer in his heart.

He couldn't possibly risk the entire resources of the Illusionary System to fight this war.

If they lose, they will be disbanded without much consequence, and all soldiers below the Imperial Guard will be divided up among other branches of the military.

If we win, they become expendable resources; every bit we take is one less, until they are completely wiped out in the history of the Han Dynasty.

The Illusionist faction is a huge interest group; they are willing to sacrifice themselves, and the Empire will not treat them or their families unfairly.

However, the Illusionary Sect absolutely cannot risk the entire group falling into the abyss.

This is not war; this is a political struggle.

Everyone looked at Feng Yi, waiting for his answer.

This answer will determine everything that happens next.

"Fine!" Feng Yi finally chose to back down.

"We are willing to sign an alliance with you. The time is set for three days from now, when our senior leaders will meet to sign the alliance!"

Zhang Zhilian smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Become!

He took such a huge risk to come on this mission, and he'll definitely get a promotion and a raise when he gets back. It was worth risking his life for this mission.

While he was happy, he also thought of Lü Meng's instructions.

"If possible, we could perhaps establish a trade market here and conduct trade. You could also provide a list of relevant technologies and goods for us to trade!"

Trade serves as a bridge for communication, and since Lü Meng wanted to deliver a perfect answer, he naturally couldn't simply sign an alliance.

This trade market is used to bind the cost of the alliance, making the Han side more hesitant to take action.

Incidentally, it was also to gather more intelligence on the Han Dynasty.

Food, technology, production tools... everything can be traded, and everything reflects what lies behind it.

Of course, more importantly, Lü Meng was paving the way for Jia Xu.

No matter how secretive an insect is, it still needs a medium to travel to other worlds.

Once the goods enter the world of the Great Han, they can locate their presence and send insects into the Great Han to gather intelligence.

They need more intelligence.

Feng Yi almost got taken down by Lü Meng because he lacked intelligence.

Having intelligence is essential to gaining more initiative.

Feng Yi naturally had no objection; he also wanted more information.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhi did not reveal the trump card that Lü Meng had told him.

Lu Meng's trump card was the training method of the Changshui Camp.

The Han Dynasty will definitely be able to figure this out. For a military genius like him, it's only a matter of time before he can crack this elite talent.

Not to mention that both sides share the same roots and origins, but lack the technological expertise in this area. Therefore, Lü Meng was willing to exchange this for the establishment of a trade market and the signing of an alliance.

But since Feng Yi had already agreed, there was no need for him to bring it up himself.

In bargaining, the one who speaks first will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

Both sides were delighted, and Feng Yi personally escorted Zhang Zhi out of the camp.

Zhang Zhi then recounted everything he had seen and heard to Lü Meng and Shen Pei.

"It's going so smoothly... Could there be a trap?" Shen Pei was a little worried.

Lu Meng didn't care at all. As long as the alliance was signed, his perfect answer would be established. He could just pack up and go back to conquer the other world.

He simply left all the remaining problems to Shen Pei; he couldn't be bothered to consider the future development of the Yuan family.

He had no desire to have anything to do with the Yuan family, after all, the Yuan family was Xinghan's biggest rival before its establishment.

It's best to avoid anything involving historical issues; he wouldn't have accepted this mission if he hadn't been specifically chosen to come here for the trial. (End of Chapter)
