    Under the sharp gazes of the three giants in southern Xinjiang, Lucifer looked at the three of them without any uneasiness.  There is a murderous intention in my heart, and I want to pull out the sword of destruction in all directions to kill him and eliminate the serious trouble in his heart.  But there are three reasons why I dare not act rashly.  We must first take into account Yan¡¯s haggard feelings.  She represents a force that sincerely works for the benefit of the people, so she did not hesitate to personally stop the five elders of Daozong from dealing with me and facilitate this negotiation.  She hopes that the two sides can peacefully resolve the issue of regime change and minimize bloodshed.  After all, officers and soldiers are also members of the common people. There is no reason to sacrifice innocently for the ambitions of a few royal families in a battle that is impossible to win.  And Ha? Lucifer represents the Caesar royal family and the military. If he is killed, the peace talks will be in vain. Yan is haggard and disappointed. It is very likely that Yan will use his unparalleled prestige to call on the whole people to launch a patriotic war to expel the foreign invaders and let the Southern Xinjiang Army  Being mired in the ocean of people's war is something I don't want to see.  The second reason is to take into account the feelings of Caesar's military generals.  Ha? Lucifer has been in charge of the military for fifty-four years. His disciples and old officials are all over the world. The forces are intertwined. Once he is killed, the enemy army will be angry and target the southern Xinjiang army.  At that time, no matter who the successor is, they will have no choice but to fight to the end even if there is only one soldier left.  What's more, soldiers have always respected the strong. If you defeat them openly and openly on the battlefield, you have nothing to say. If you murder the opponent's leader behind his back but commit a taboo, it will easily lead to everyone's contempt.  The third reason is that Lucifer has become a key figure in the Southern Xinjiang Army's efforts to end the southern expedition as soon as possible and switch to fighting. Living is much more useful than dead.  While I was thinking about it, Lucifer greeted me and said, "I guess you are Liu Qinghou! I just received the news last night that the Zhengqi Haoge Tower was completely defeated. I am really overjoyed to see the 'natural enemy' today. I didn't expect you to meet me."  Suddenly, there is no trace of the military art that is very similar to yours." Ha? Lucifer intentionally or unintentionally showed a contemptuous attitude towards Qilin and Kong Long.  He obviously believed that Liu Qinghou, who defeated the strong with the weak in Paoge Prefecture, was a worthy enemy, not Qilin and Kong Long, who bullied the weak on the two fronts in the northeast but was still fooled by him.  I stared at Lucifer with a calm expression and said with a dumb smile: "Haha, I have overrated your country's master Ruyun Qinghou. It was just a fluke that he won! This is very similar to the Fengyun Empire who suddenly launched a southern expedition. Who would have thought beforehand that he would not be beaten all the time?"  Is there hidden power to turn things around under the cowardly appearance of fighting back? The current situation in your country is very similar to that of the Fengyun Empire not long ago. Anyone who underestimates you and tries to kill them all will regret it one day.  The reason why I hope for peace talks. "I deliberately spoke slowly to give Lucifer time to fully comprehend the meaning of my words so that he could restrain his arrogant attitude and understand our sincerity in coming to peace talks. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Lucifer was slightly stunned when he heard this, his eyes glanced at Qilin and Kong Long thoughtfully, then he said haha ??and asked everyone to sit down.  There was silence in the hall.  After a cup of tea, Lai Jiuer suddenly broke the deadlock and asked: "I wonder what Brother Liu means by peace talks?" I ignored him and stared at Lai Jiuer with sharp eyes, "Brother Lai, are you asking this question knowingly?"  At this moment, all the counties in the northern frontier and the eastern sea of ??your country have fallen. There are wars in the southwest and there are hundreds of thousands of rebels. The local nobles are too busy to take care of themselves and have completely cut off reinforcements to you. In addition, our 1.5 million army in the southern frontier is stationed in Xiaohua City.  A devastating strike can be carried out at any time in the northeastern suburbs to wipe your army and Laughing Flower City off the map. In this case, what do you mean by peace talks? It is just to avoid unreasonable casualties among the officers and soldiers on both sides and prompt your army to surrender conditionally.  !¡± Qilin¡¯s sonorous and powerful words were so full of gunpowder that Lai Jiuer didn¡¯t dare to fight back casually, and the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Lucifer and Raijuer never expected that Qilin, who had always been despised, would suddenly make a splash when he opened his mouth and force himself into a desperate situation where he had to surrender. I perfectly performed the roles of black face and red face.  Indeed, it doesn¡¯t matter how many times Lucifer has won partial victories on the two battlefields in the Northeast. After all, the situation at hand is that others are approaching the city and he is not guaranteed. This situation is always very unfavorable and gives the other party a winning bargaining chip in the negotiation.  All he can do now is bargain as much as possible to minimize losses and only talk about fighting to the death as a last resort.  Ha? After hearing the naked threat, Lucifer met Qilin's eyes without fear and said: "Frankly speaking, I admit the bad situation mentioned by Brother Qi, but the conclusion is too arbitrary. I guarantee that even if your army can occupy  Laughing Flower City cannot end the Southern Expedition before the end of the year. It can even be said that once the time comes, it is still unknown who will prosper and who will die. So I think this peace negotiation should be based on fairness and not bully others. "The two are tit-for-tat and refuse to give in.  In order to dilute the tense atmosphere, he calmly added: "Everything Brother Qi said just now is true. If Ha Weng treats the peace talks as armistice negotiations, it would be a big mistake. To put it simply, I think this peace talks only needs to solve one problem.  That is, how can your army be willing to surrender??  Beyond that there is no room for negotiation.  " Ha? Lucifer frowned and said: "It seems that we have great differences on the content of the negotiation!  If we follow what Brother Kong said, wouldn't Lucifer lead 300,000 elite troops and 20 million people to be captured without a fight?  How can there be such a truth in the world?  " Qilin and Kong Long smiled bitterly in their hearts and looked at me together, thinking to themselves that they not only underestimated Raijiur's insidiousness, but also underestimated Lucifer's stubbornness. It seems that Lucifer's stubbornness is useless without a trump card. "My eyes are locked with the divine light.  Lucifer shook his head and said: "Ha Weng, what you said is wrong!  We are extremely sincere when invited by Tianzun and her elders to come to Zhizhu Mountain to negotiate.  If you lead the army to surrender, not only will you not do a stupid thing, but you will do the smartest thing in the world.  Before leaving, Qinghou did some investigations which were not comprehensive but are absolutely true and bold. I would like to make a statement here to help you further understand the current situation.  " After a pause, he continued: "As far as we know, the 300,000 elite troops you mentioned are actually only 270,000, including 130,000 in the First Army, 80,000 in the 44th Army, and 60,000 in the Second Army.  people.  Among them, the first and forty-fourth armies are both untrained recruits who were replenished after the war. The second army is composed of defeated soldiers with no fighting spirit and is not under your jurisdiction. The command is in the hands of His Highness Le Lucifer.  .  As for the 20 million civilians, it sounds scary at first, but the strong men have long been used up by various armies. The rest are old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children. Even if they are armed, they will not be able to form any combat effectiveness at all.  What's more, as far as I know, your army's military supply warehouse is already empty. Even regular officers and soldiers sometimes have to hold wooden sticks and wear dog skins to go into battle, letting the unarmed people fight against the tigers and wolves armed to the teeth. How can you bear it?  " Ha? Lucifer and Raijiur remained calm on the surface, but the three of them still felt the shock in their hearts. I struck while the iron was hot: "In addition, Ha Weng just promised that even if our army occupied Laughing Flower City, we would not be able to end the Southern Expedition before the end of the year or even  It is possible to turn victory into defeat.  Hey, what you are betting on is that I will be defeated and killed by Guan Shanyue and the Southern Xinjiang Army will be wiped out by Fengyun Army!  However, since it is a bet, the opposite situation may occur. For example, if Guan Shanyue is killed in battle and the Southern Xinjiang Army breaks through the Fengyun Army, Qinghou has a 120% certainty of causing the above result.  Qinghou can also guarantee that if the peace talks fail, no matter what the outcome of the duel and decisive battle in Fengyun Empire is, your army will never know.  Because you don¡¯t have to wait until the end of the year, the German and Amazon armies will be fully armed with southern Xinjiang standard ordnance and invade Caesar¡¯s southwestern counties until the last noble of your country is eliminated.  The beautiful vision you long to see of joining forces with the Fengyun Army to attack our army on two fronts will actually never happen!  "Hah, what are you saying? Lucifer was in such a state of disarray that he couldn't help but look at each other in confusion with Laijiure, not knowing what to do for a moment. The cards I spread out were not big, and I made it clear that I was not afraid of fighting to the death, but the strength they relied on was small.  If you can't win through small negotiations, you can only admit defeat and let him be manipulated. "Haweng is an old man who has been a soldier all his life. You can tell the truth at a glance!"  Looking at the achievements since debut, what can be done in this world that can stump the ¡®natural enemy¡¯?  He doesn't need to ask you at all. It's just for the sake of Tianzun and her elders, and to save Caesar's people from dire straits, that he took the risk to bring Kong Long and me here to see him.  This sincerity can be demonstrated every day!  " Kong Long said calmly: "Haha, if you are worried about the loss of your reputation, don't worry about it!  Since the establishment of Caesar's Empire, which dynasties and generations of common people have not sent their fathers, sons and brothers to the battlefield? How many people can return home safely in the end?  They have long been tired of fighting and fighting, and they hate the war of aggression that is only for fame and fortune. What they want most now is to live and work in peace and contentment, no longer having to worry about whether they can sleep or get up.  If the peace talks are successful, all wars within the Caesar Empire will end early. At that time, everyone will praise your wisdom and decisiveness!  "The three of them took turns bombarding each other with words without any threat. Everything was based on reality, but it was so sharp that it could directly shake Lucifer's guard. Especially Kong Long's words at the end taught him to involuntarily reflect deeply on the brilliance he had achieved in his life.  Was the result a glory or a disgrace? Did it benefit the people or harm them? Thousands of memory fragments flashed through him like a lantern, making him feel sad, happy, shocked and angry, and he couldn't describe it.  . I saw Ha-Lucifer and Lai Jiul fell silent and said seriously: "If you have any concerns, please tell me in person. Qinghou Ding will do his best to solve them for you."  " Lai Jiu'er said: "Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. It's hard to describe them all in one sentence!  Then he sighed and said softly: "Will you three listen to me chatting for a few words?"  " As soon as this statement came out, everyone's eyes fell on him. Lai Jiur smiled bitterly and said: "On the surface, our army depends on the Lord's words, but in reality, it is not the case.  All the family members of the troops who participated in the war were moved to the Western Camp of the imperial capital before the war and were put under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guards in order to prevent defections and uprisings of officers and soldiers.  The leader of the imperial guard is the regent, His Highness Lucifer himself. Anyone who enters or leaves the Western Camp without his orders will be killed without mercy.  Therefore, peace talks must be done with??'s consent, otherwise our master's consent is useless. The officers and soldiers below will definitely refuse to follow for the sake of the safety of their families.  " I said: "How many soldiers and horses does the Imperial Guard have?  How is the strength?  " Lai Jiuer hesitated for a moment and asked instead: "Brother Liu, have you ever heard of the two dragon warrior groups of "Amber" and "Hibernation"?  "I shook my head to express my ignorance." Raijiur explained: "They are the most elite infantry in the empire left over from the previous generation. They are a secret force dedicated to guarding the palace. Their number is about 20,000. Their strength is equal to that of 'Doomsday Wolf Warriors', 'Glory Years', 'Steel  The combination of the four golden knights including the Giant and the White Tiger.  They are all called the Imperial Guard to the outside world, but the strength of the Imperial Guard currently guarding the palace is vastly different from theirs.  " I laughed loudly and said: "If they leave it to us, Qinghou will definitely handle it beautifully and not embarrass Brother Ha Weng and Brother Lai.  ¡± Then he said: ¡°You two still don¡¯t seem to know how powerful the Southern Xinjiang Army is, so it makes others¡¯ ambitions destroy your own prestige.  Hey, it¡¯s not that Qinghou boasted that two more ¡®Amber¡¯ and ¡®Hibernation¡¯ dragon warrior regiments would turn into pulp under the iron heel of the ¡®Crescent Moon¡¯ Demon Knights.  What's more, just to be on the safe side, Qing Hou also planned to use a batch of secret weapons to participate in the war to ensure that everything was safe.  " Lai Jiuer said happily: "Then I wish Brother Liu a successful success in rescuing the hostages detained in the West Camp!  " At this time, Ha-Lucifer said in a deep voice: "I believe in your promise just now!  Then he took a long breath and said with a wry smile: "It takes a generation of talents to replace the old with a new generation."  When I get old, it¡¯s time to retire from the stage of history.  Well, can you tell me how you plan to relocate us?  " At this moment, everyone knew that Ha-Lucifer publicly admitted defeat and the victory was not easy. Kong Long took out the pre-written agreement and handed it to Ha-Lucifer and Lai Jiul respectively. They both read it after a meal.  He couldn't hide his look of disbelief. It wasn't that the terms of the agreement were too harsh, but that they were too lenient. It detailed the treatment methods for all classes, from the royal family to the soldiers. Except for the worst offenders, all crimes committed during the war would be pardoned and the merits would be selected to continue serving in the military and political ranks.  Official benefits and salaries are several times better than before. What is especially valuable is that there are appropriate arrangements for the relocation of retired officers and soldiers and their families to provide them with basic living security. This fully reflects the human aspect of Caesar's common people.  Life will be greatly improved. At present, both parties have signed and stamped the agreement in duplicate and exchanged it for safekeeping. ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ The Laughing Flower City is located at the northern end of the Laughing Flower Plain.  800 Valley. It is the national political, economic, transportation, technological and cultural center of the Caesar Empire. It is also one of the most famous cities in the Deep Blue Continent. It was world-famous as early as about 10,000 years ago.  The Xiaohua people lived in the Qijiaogou area of ??Wushan in the southwest suburbs of Xiaohua City. At the beginning of the Dark Warring States Period, Xiaohua City belonged to Baye and Xiangyun. At that time, Bayeux City, the capital of Baye Kingdom, became the earliest predecessor of Xiaohua City.  During the Age of the Divine Empire, this was a prominent military town and was renamed Nanjing as the accompanying capital. After the fall of the Dragon Divine Empire, the founding emperor of the Caesar Empire was imprisoned and Lucifer made his capital here and renamed it Laughing Flower City. The history of Laughing Flower City as the center of dynasty rule began here.  Later, thirty-six emperors also established their capitals here. When Lucifer Ning came to the throne, Xiaohua City was already one of the most prosperous cities in the Deep Blue Continent. After he succeeded to the throne, he began large-scale construction projects.  In the middle of Ning-Lucifer's reign, the splendid imperial city was centered around six magnificent buildings: Wuji Hall, Zhongji Hall, Taiji Hall, and Tianshou, Jinlong, and Difu Palaces.  Many gardens such as Baolian Garden were built in the western suburbs. The scale and layout of Xiaohua City today are still the same as those of that time. On the evening of December 4, 811, Abalaisa (Note: Thinking-Lucifer).  When the adjutant) completed his mission of convening the officials and returned to the Wanshou Hall, there were heavily armed guards and soldiers outside the hall. They blocked all the passages and were heavily guarded. The door leading to the Wanshou Hall was also guarded by the deputy of the Grand Chamberlain Goutai Fu.  Fu Menngling, the previous generation of golden dragon warriors, was responsible for commanding two thousand elites selected from the Imperial Guards to cooperate with nearly fifty golden dragon warriors to guard him. Abalaisa entered the main hall unobstructed and saw him sitting blankly on a chair with a face on his face.  The regent Si-Lucifer, who had a dazed look on his face and flashed his eyes with an unprecedented intensity, immediately suppressed the thought of reporting to avoid getting angry and being used as a punching bag. The palace was as quiet as a ghostland and no one dared to make a sound.  Abalaisa took a peek and saw Taiqing Si Zhen from Tianshi Cult standing behind Si-Lucifer, silently performing his bodyguard duties as usual; the talisman on the left side of the desk was handing over a letter from the Flying Pigeon.  Duan Zhen, the right prime minister, organized the record paper, which was filled with densely written words; on the right side of the rosewood armchair sat His Royal Highness Le-Lucifer with a gloomy face, and behind him stood Wu Zhongyin, the number one general under his command and the commander of the ace unit "Silver Snake Battalion".  Mistress and spy leader SisiYa and his aide Huo Yuanjie both looked solemn.  In fact, Lucifer has discovered that Abalaisa is back and knows that the mission has been completed, but he is in a bad mood, so he doesn't bother to ask him.  It was Le Lucifer who waved after seeing him.  He looked a little nervous, with a little expectation in his eyes. Of course, these feelings passed away in a flash, and he was thinking behind his back - if Lucifer hadn't been serving the big shot for a long time, he would have become an expert in observing words and emotions, and it would be impossible to catch the clues.  Abalaisa hurriedly walked over, bowed and saluted, and whispered, "What are your orders from His Highness?" Le-Lucifer asked, "What's going on with the garrison outside the city?" Abalaisa shook his head and said, "I guess it's because I haven't heard the warning signal.  I'm at a loss, so just stay put!" Le-Lucifer frowned and thought for a moment, then waved him off.  Abalaisa is familiar with the palace survival rule of "see more, listen more, think less, talk less". When he saw this, he immediately returned to his original position, stood respectfully with his hands lowered, and continued to play his humble role.  At this time, Si-Lucifer let out an angry roar, reached out, grabbed the luminous cup on the case, threw it to the ground, smashed it into pieces, and said with eyes wide open: "Shameless! As a member of the royal family, he actually said the words of surrender and then expected it to be approved by the court.  This is extremely shameless! I want to see which guy in the court dares to agree with his treacherous ideas! Are everyone here?" Abalisa secretly exhaled and replied quickly: "I have followed your instructions.  They all gathered in the Zhongji Hall." Si-Lucifer sneered: "Hey, are you all here? Just catch them all!" Goutaifu said, "The guards have been ordered to dispatch.  The "Doomsday Warriors" Golden Knights guard Miyagi, and the three gates in the southeast and north, "Amber" and "Hibernation" Dragon Warriors, defend the Western Camp. As long as the rebels make the slightest move, they will immediately suffer a devastating blow." Everyone showed joy.  Especially Le-Lucifer and his supporters because Si-Lucifer had promised to fully support him in succeeding to the throne after Ha-Lucifer sent a letter proposing surrender.  This court meeting's action to purge all Lin-Lucifer's followers is paving the way for him to ascend the throne.  Lucifer was in a slightly better mood and groaned: "There are all our people inside and outside the imperial city. The soldiers and horses in the Western Camp have been ordered early and are ready to carry out executions. Now I want to see who dares to rebel?" After finishing speaking,  He laughed a little nervously.  Everyone was inexplicably excited when they saw this, and they all laughed and agreed.  Le Lucifer praised: "Uncle Wang is wise and believes that under your arrangement, all these clowns will not escape justice!" Wu Zhongyin couldn't help but asked: "Now all the Chinese, civil and military officials have arrived at the Zhongji Hall.  But how to distinguish between loyal and traitor later? " Le-Lucifer said with a sinister smile: "Uncle Wang has thought of this a long time ago. For this reason, his family and generals have our people closely monitoring their every move.  "The specific situation depends on Mr. Duan's intelligence summary!" Si-Lucifer said to Duan Zhen: "Well, please report the list of rebels! I will never let go of those who want to surrender this time."  Start killing!" The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Duan Zhen who had just finished copying.  Duan Zhen said respectfully: "It is now confirmed that among the ministers who have close relations with King Li Ha-Lucifer, except for the left prime minister Yuan Shizun, Zhenyuan Gong Wuhuncha, Yingyanghou Fushigu and Huliehou Bashanmin, there are others.  The only high-ranking official of the first rank is Mi Chi, the Minister of War, and the rest are officials below the first rank. "Si-Lucifer's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "You should also read the list of officials below the first rank to me.  Listen clearly."
