After the storm, Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou were looking at the letter from Yunjing City in the yard of a small town.

The letter was sent by Wen Zhimiao, saying that Yun Jiuzhao had returned. He also told them in detail what Yun Jiuzhao had done to King Beirong, which was simply murderous.

Before his death, King Beirong finally regained consciousness for a while and realized that he was being held hostage and used by someone.

After all, she was the king, so she finally gave those traitors a severe blow.

There has been no news about Ao Dun, so Yun Jiuzhao simply spread the rumor that Ao Dun was dead. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, what matters is that there will definitely be people who believe it.

The King of Beirong didn't believe it at first, but Yun Jiuzhao deliberately let her see Ao Dun's personal jade pendant, which was given to her by the King of Beirong himself when she was ten years old, and she has always worn it close to her body.

King Beirong became more and more suspicious. Her health became worse day by day, and she finally made up her mind to pass the throne to King Brahma.

It was a pity that the edict of succession was not delivered to King Fan. Yun Jiuzhao not only instigated people to stop it, but also sent it back to King Beirong, which was a naked provocation.

Afterwards, he deliberately provoked He Li's anxiety and directly poisoned the King of Beirong.

This caused chaos in Beirong for a long time. If Ao Dun had not been smart and King Fan had not supported her behind the scenes, Beirong might have continued to be in chaos.

Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou both knew that Yun Jiuzhao held a grudge, but they didn't expect that Yun Jiuzhao would remember it for so long because the King of Beirong supported the man named Xiao to return to Tianqi and stir up trouble, which almost hindered Su Qingluo's plan.

"Why do I feel that Jiu Zhao is actually just trying to help you vent your anger?" The more Su Qingluo thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Yun Zhou looked at her innocently: "Why is she helping me vent my anger?"

Su Qingluo also looked at her, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

She couldn't put it clearly.

"Just think of her as helping you vent your anger. After all, it was the King of Beirong who supported Xiao Yuanju to come back and cause trouble. Don't think too much about it. If you think too much, if I am unhappy, you will be unhappy too. If I don't take it to heart, you will be unhappy too." Yun Zhou said to her with a smile.

Su Qingluo actually felt that what Yun Zhou said made sense.

"alright."

"How is Wanyue's eyes?" Yunzhou took the letter and continued reading.

Shi Wanyue's eyesight has been restored after treatment, but Wen Zhimiao feels that her injuries have not been fully healed yet, so he hasn't let her return to the Censorate.

She also rambled on about many other things, such as how annoying those aristocratic families were, and how the old Zhongshu Ling was causing trouble for her every day.

She also asked Su Qingluo to praise her and asked Su Qingluo if she had done a good job this time.

"You're already the emperor, but why are you still so childish? You still want people to praise you for what you do." Su Qingluo thought that if Wen Zhimiao was still around, he would have a lot of things to say in his mind, and he even felt a little nostalgic.

Yun Zhou was relieved to know that everything in Yunjing had settled down. However, the war was still going on, so Wen Zhimiao still had to be busy.

She is young and has been on the throne for only a short time, so there will always be some arrogant people who think she is easy to deceive. If these people cause trouble, Wen Zhimiao will really not be happy.

Three months later, Shi Wanyue's health had completely recovered, and Wen Zhimiao agreed to let her return to the Censorate.

And these three months are enough time for great changes to take place on the battlefield.

Although Ao Dun gave a lot of support to King Brahma after he ascended the throne, Apocalypse had more soldiers and food available to mobilize, and with the breakthrough in the east, morale was greatly boosted and they pushed forward all the way.

He Yuanyao won several key battles by surprise.

Furthermore, Ao Dun had just ascended the throne, and the Beirong was unstable internally. Some tribes rebelled, and the small vassal states that once obeyed the orders of King Brahma also began to reduce the number of soldiers in the west.

King Brahma could not hold the fort alone, and the army of Apocalypse advanced all the way during these three months.

It seems that we will be able to completely recover the plains and cities that we once lost.

But at this time, Beirong sent envoys to ask Tianqi for peace, saying that Beirong was willing to cease fire.

After reading it, Wen Zhimiao did not refuse, but he did not give a quick reply either, and just kept dragging it on.

This dragged on for half a year until Tianqi's army occupied the five cities of Beirong.

Except for the place where King Brahma was personally defending, the first line of defense of Beirong had been breached in other directions.

Ao Dun wrote another letter to King Brahma, saying that the war could no longer continue.

After weighing the pros and cons, King Brahma finally agreed to make peace.

Wen Zhimiao looked at the letter of peace sent by Beirong again, and summoned several important ministers as well as Shi Wanyue and Yun Jiuzhao to ask for their opinions.

Finally, they reached a consensus and agreed to Beirong's request for peace, but they had to cede two more cities.

Beirong is stronger than Lujin, and they are not at the end of their strength yet. If we continue to fight, we may not be able to completely annex Beirong within three to five years. The consumption will be too great.

In addition, if we advance further north, the vast grassland area in the north has many grassland tribes and is indeed not easy to manage. It would be fine if the Northern Rong could submit to us.

Now that it has been decided, naturally there needs to be someone responsible.

Shi Guanchao recommended Yun Jiuzhao as the person in charge.

No one else had any objections, so the matter was settled.

The location of this peace talk was also set in Longshui City, and Yun Jiuzhao led a team of guards to be in charge of the peace talks.

But the peace talks were not destined to go smoothly.

At first, Beirong did not agree to cede the city.

But later, under the pressure of Tianqi, he agreed to cede the city.

However, when it came to paying homage, the King of Beirong and the King of Fan refused to give in.

But it is useless if they just don't want to. A failed war is bound to cause internal alienation in Beirong. However, with a little pressure, some ministers will force the two to agree.

Yun Jiuzhao was not in a hurry and just watched the fire from the other side of the river in Longshui City. In the end, Beirong had to agree to submit and pay tribute.

The treaty was not signed by King Brahma, but that doesn't matter.

The treaty clearly stated that Beirong would from then on become a vassal state of Tianqi and was not allowed to violate Tianqi's borders again.

At the same time, all matters concerning business and trade between the two countries were agreed upon.

The moment the contract was signed, the war between Tianqi and Beirong was considered over.

As for the marriage proposal from Beirong, Wen Zhimiao thought about it and felt that it was unnecessary. After all, a hostage in marriage could not influence the relationship between the two countries.

Tianqi won a great victory in this battle. One month after the signing of the peace treaty, Ji Qinghuai, Luan Xuefeng, He Yuanyao and other generals returned to the court and established a new county on the northern border.

Since then, all the northern territories lost by the Central Plains dynasty in the turbulent times before Tianxuan were recovered, and the territory was even expanded.

The map of the eastern part of Beirong was much smaller.

Many years later, Tianqi built a new Great Wall in the north over three generations.

The Northern Rong could only continue to expand westward.

Because of the existence of the Northern Rong, the western civilization gradually incorporated many Han cultures.

Of course, this all happened many years later.

The most exciting thing for Tianqi right now is the return of his soldiers to the court.
