Chapter 772 : Victory (Finale) (3)
At the same time, the Jin army that was attacking the city finally took down the tower of Wolf Fang Pass and opened the city gate.
Xu Yan was ecstatic when he heard the news.
He mobilized another 10,000 soldiers to join the battle, vowing to annihilate the Nangong Army and trample Wolf Fang Pass.
At this moment, the Nangong Army and the imperial court army began to retreat. They retreated in all directions.
Seeing this, the general of the Jin army did not stop the Jin army from pursuing. Of course, most of the troops were still left behind.
He was prepared to enter the pass and clean it up.
When Xu Yan heard the news, he was happy to take down Wolf Fang Pass and planned to enter the pass later.
At this moment, they heard the sound of horse hooves.
It was the Chu army.
Yuchi Tianqiong led 40,000 troops to surround the Jin army stationed outside the city.
At this moment, Xu Yan finally realized that something was wrong with the situation. However, he still felt lucky and felt that he could talk to Yuchi Tianqiong.
At this moment, another piece of news came.
It turned out that the Yan army that had fled in all directions had returned.
Moreover, the number of people who came back was even greater than before.
Not only did these people exterminate the Jin army that chased after them, but they also took back Wolf Fang Pass as soon as they returned.
The Jin army that had entered Wolf Fang Pass had now become a cornered prey.
When Xu Yan heard the news, he instantly fell into his chair.
It was over. The 100,000 strong army had been destroyed by him…
Soon, several generals of the Jin army barged into the tent.
The sound of quarreling quickly rang out.
Some requested to fight with the Chu army, while others requested to surrender. They could not let all the Jin army die on the battlefield.
After learning that the envoys from Chu and Yan were outside the tent, Xu Yan asked someone to invite them in.
There was no point in questioning him now. If he wanted to make peace, he had to agree to the other party’s conditions.
Yan requested to take back the cities that they had previously ceded to Jin and Chu.
Furthermore, Jin that entered the city would not be released.
As for the remaining 20,000 soldiers of Xu Yan, the Yan handed over the right to deal with them to Chu.
This was considered an exchange for the return of Yan’s city.
This was the condition that Li Xiao and Yuchi Tianqiong had agreed on before, and both sides had reached an agreement long ago.
Chu’s request was for Jin to leave behind the weapons and supplies of these 20,000 soldiers, as well as compensation of money and food.
The number was not small, but it was still within the tolerance of Jin.
Xu Yan didn’t agree immediately, nor could he make the decision to agree. He could only send a letter back to Jin.
Before receiving the Jin Emperor’s reply, the high-ranking generals of Jin army were all invited into the Wolf Fang Pass.
As for the 20,000 soldiers of Jin, they were all trapped and could only wait for the imperial court to redeem them.
Inside Wolf Fang Pass, the Yan army had won a great victory, and it was a joyous occasion.
Yuchi Tianqiong personally congratulated him.
Three days later, Xu Yan and Xu Qing hung themselves in the wing room.
Six days later, Murong Xuyang’s imperial edict arrived.
Li Xiao was granted the title Prince Anyang and was rewarded with a golden book and an iron warrant. He also let Li Xiao be in charge of all the matters of the peace talks.
The next day, when the Jin army was almost out of food, the Jin envoy finally arrived.
As expected, the Jin Emperor agreed to the request of Chu and Yan.
After that, the three countries signed a new peace treaty in Wolf Fang Pass.
After that, Chu and Jin’s army retreated back to the country.
Li Xiao also took advantage of this period of time to quickly sort out the military affairs at the border, and then brought Lin Xiaoyue back to the capital to report on her work.
When he entered the capital, Murong Xuyang personally led all officials out of the city to meet him.
The people in the capital lined the streets to welcome him.
After that, Li Xiao handed over the military power and proposed to bring his wife home.
At this moment, the Imperial Advisor’s Residence sent a grievous news. The Imperial Advisor had passed away.
When Murong Xuyang heard this news, he was speechless.
He had just returned to the capital. Now that he saw that his granddaughter and grandson-in-law were leaving, he did not want to wait any longer.
Yes, he mentioned to him that he wanted to retire and had even found himself an heir.
Who was the heir?
Of course, it was Liang Chengcai.
He was not very satisfied with that Young Master Liang, but…
He was a member of the Liang family.
Moreover, the Imperial Advisor had already promised him that if there was anything in the future, he could still go to Qingshi Town to look for him.
Murong Xuyang could only express his grief for the Imperial Advisor and announce the funeral.
The next day.
The weather was nice.
Li Xiao rode a horse and escorted the two carriages back to Qingshi Town under the protection of Xiao Yang and the others.
The border, the chaos of war, the capital, everything was over.
Happy and peaceful days were just around the corner.
After returning to Qingshi Town, Prince Anyang stayed there for more than half a month before going back.
Then, he issued an order to plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, cabbages, and other crops on a large scale in Anyang County.
Half a year later, the imperial court sent a group of ministers to personally inspect Anyang County.
They took away a large number of sweet potatoes and potato seeds.
After another year, these two crops had spread throughout the Great Yan. The people’s livelihood had been greatly improved.
After the war at the border, the Great Yan was recovering at an extremely fast speed.
As for the Liu Company, they were already preparing to expand outside Anyang County.
However, Li Xiao had his eyes on his wife’s abdomen.
It was time to add a member to the family..
