Chapter 687 The Grand Finale (5)
It would definitely not be ordinary people who dared to fight against the Hou Mansion. It took more than ten days for the government to intervene, and finally caught a few small shrimps and carried the matter over to close the case.The Hou's Mansion clearly handed it over to the government, but secretly sent people to investigate. Naturally, they knew who was behind the scenes.

But Ding Bohou is not in the mood to make things difficult for anyone right now, so keep the account first, and calculate it slowly later!
The emperor issued a decree, ordering the prefects, prefectures, and counties from all over the country to find that it is inevitable that they must be properly resettled, and they are not allowed to swarm into the capital again.The imperial court will specially allocate money to resettle refugees.

As the border war gradually unfolded, the emperor's decision became more and more wise.

Huihe Khan was rescued, and he led more than 1000 men to join the Celestial Dynasty. Tatamu and Dashi formed an alliance, and the two sides began a fierce battle in the Western Zhou Dynasty.Now the information received is that the five battles and losses account for more than half, and the two sides are at a stalemate.

Taking advantage of the weather in the Western Regions, Meng Kuo's firearms camp became a laughing stock.The temperature difference between day and night in the desert area is huge. During the day, people stick out their tongues and feel breathless, and at night, people shiver with cold.If it catches up with a storm, it will be extremely dangerous.

People in the Western Regions walk in the desert all year round, and they will infer the climate and the direction and size of the storm based on the astronomical phenomena.They often took advantage of the stormy weather to raid the firearms battalion, causing them heavy losses and had to retreat into the city.Without the restraint of the Firearms Battalion, the cavalry from the Western Regions arrived at Roshan Mountain smoothly, and cooperated with Gao Lili to break through the natural moat of Roshan Mountain.Right now, the Celestial Dynasty is not only in a hurry in the west, but even the northeast is under attack. Suddenly, the imperial court is under attack from the front and back, and the situation is in crisis.

But everything is still within the emperor's expectations, as long as Tubo stands still, he will feel at ease.

However, this battle was extremely difficult. Around May, Yixuan actually got news.When Hou Ye opened the family letter mixed in the battle report, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't help but sigh and be excited.

He took the letter home, first showed it to Mrs. Hou, and then passed it to the old matriarch, and when it was Ruoxi's turn, the thin piece of paper was crumpled.The letter was not long, but Ruoxi read it countless times.

She put the letter under her pillow and read it when she couldn't sleep at night. She could recite every word and sentence on it backwards and forwards.

The Celestial Dynasty has strong soldiers and strong horses, and the longer the war is fought, the more superior it will be.Ever since the emperor ascended the throne, he has always planned to dominate the world, and he has made a lot of preparations for this.

Although the Western Regions and Goryeo united to launch a war, they retreated steadily under the suppression of the Celestial Army.They were forced to retreat to the south of Xiaoling, but the Chinese army planned to capture Tianchao and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

The Western Regions and Koryo wrote letters begging for surrender, but at this time Tubo sent troops to help the Celestial Dynasty, the emperor naturally disagreed with the truce.

Dashi's side also had good news again and again. Seeing that the situation was not good, the king of Dashi hurriedly ordered his generals to cut off the heads of Tatamu and his son to seek peace.

The emperor ordered to annihilate Dashi in one fell swoop, to go straight to the capital of Dashi.

At this time, large-scale and unprecedented insect disasters were reported all over Kyoto.Uncountable locusts swarmed in from nowhere, devoured all the crops in the blink of an eye, and then flew away like a large cloud, leaving no grass anywhere.

Anyone who has seen such a scene is thrilling, and soon panicked.Before the emperor could deal with the locust plague, there was heavy rain along the river, and the river surged, causing countless casualties among the people on both sides of the river and downstream.It rained continuously for seven or eight days, and the dead bodies soaked in the river soon caused a large-scale plague.

Now even the emperor panicked, and then rumors spread, saying that the army of the Celestial Dynasty had killed countless people, causing God to be furious, and that's why they brought disasters to the Celestial Dynasty and so on.

Seeing that the people everywhere are in dire straits, and Dashi, the Western Regions, and Korea are begging for surrender one after another, the emperor thinks over and over again and decides to cease the war and negotiate a peace.

Ruoxi and the others were all delighted to hear the news, it seems that Yixuan and his son will be back soon!

But the emperor transferred several ministers from the capital, and let Yixuan stay to participate in the negotiations.The six parties negotiated a peace at the border, and the Celestial Dynasty, Tubo, and Huihe, as the victors, naturally had the initiative and priority.

Even though Dashi, the Western Regions, and Korea were reluctant, they still had to swallow their breath and agree to conditions such as land cession and compensation.

Except for Tubo, the other four foreign countries all ceded thousands of miles of land and two cities.

Dashi retreated another five hundred miles to the west, and ceded two cities to Huihe, and compensated 50 taels of silver.The Western Regions and Koryo each ceded a city to Tubo, and took out 100 million taels of silver.

The Celestial Dynasty signed a century-old covenant with the five foreign states. If one party breaks the peace, the other five parties will jointly punish it!
In this half-year-long war, China is the biggest beneficiary.

Tubo is the second beneficiary, not only getting money for nothing, but also two cities.This is all because of the people standing in the team!
The Huihe Khan was able to regain power, but he was imprisoned by Tatamu and tortured, leaving him a weak body.Although he had three sons, they were all killed by the knife when he encountered a mutation, and now only Salia is left as a daughter.

The Western Regions, Goryeo, and Dashi are incomparable to the Celestial Dynasty. 50 taels of silver plus the expenses and sequelae of the war is enough for them to recuperate for about ten years.The area they were in was already remote, and the products were very poor. Now, ceding the land to the city is another traumatic blow.

Even if they don't sign a century-old agreement, it is estimated that they will not be able to make trouble within three to fifty years.

They all knew in their hearts that if it weren't for the successive natural disasters, what awaited them was the fate of subjugation.Even the Huihe Khan felt lucky, he didn't want to be swallowed by the big food, but his Huihe would not be guaranteed if the Celestial Dynasty acted like this!

But it's better to be a stranger than God, no one expected such an ending.The negotiations here are coming to an end, and the plague and locust plague of the Celestial Dynasty have also been brought under control.The emperor brought all the civil and military officials to personally sacrifice to the sky and pray for the common people in the world.

Ruoxi received news that the brigade will return to Kyoto at the end of next month.She couldn't help jumping for joy when she thought that her husband and son were coming back.

Yixuan's heart is even more eager to return to his heart. During the days and nights when he left home, he missed Ruoxi and the children all the time.He was on the verge of death a few times, but when he thought of Ruoxi and the child waiting for him to go back, he had some strength to persevere.

After more than half a year of separation, he became more and more aware of what he wanted and what he wanted to hold on to desperately.He desperately wanted to go back to Ruoxi's side, and pour out all his thoughts.

Looking at the moon in the sky, and thinking of the full moon above Ruoxi's head, his heart felt a little sweeter and more eager.

"Father, I have something to report to you." Yi Jun suddenly appeared behind him.

What Yi Jun said was a report rather than a discussion, that is to say, this kid has already made a decision, and now he just informs himself.This kid's wings are hard now, no, he has been hard since the moment he ran away from home.
