Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Mu Liuming had discovered a few days ago that Qian Wanli seemed to have no hope of winning.

So during the battles these days, he observed Qian Wanli and found that this guy really didn't want to put in any effort.

The reason for his action was that victory or failure no longer meant much to him.

After victory, the Western Regions will be divided up by the Shenmu Kingdom.

Failure means falling into the hands of Daqian.

But no matter which path it is, it is actually much better than the current scattered state.

At present, the countries in the Western Regions have gone from being united to being suspicious of each other.

Everyone runs away when disaster strikes.

Even the stability of the alliance has become a problem.

This resulted in Qian Wanli having to bear enormous pressure in order to supply the troops of the Western Region coalition, and he had to constantly deal with the leaders of the major countries behind him.

It took a lot of effort, but the end result wasn't very good.

"To be honest, we are a little stretched here."

As if sensing Mu Liuming's distrust, Qian Wanli took the initiative to speak and talked about his difficulties.

"If possible, can you return the supplies we lent you some time ago?"

Some time ago, the supplies for their troops had not been delivered yet.

Mu Liuming went to Qian Wanli specifically to ask him to borrow a batch of supplies, which finally solved the urgent problem.

But later, the people from the Shenmu Kingdom delivered the supplies.

Logically speaking, Mu Liuming's dancing moves are already very good.

Qian Wanli did not mention this matter, as he originally thought that they would take the initiative to return the things.

Mu Liuming, on the other hand, didn't even mention it.

There was no other way, Qian Wanli had to take this opportunity to bring up this matter today.

But it would have been better if he didn't say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, a general next to Mu Liuming immediately spat at him.

"General Qian, this isn't how you calculate the bill, is it?"

"We contributed manpower and resources to your war, and only used some of your supplies, and now you're asking for repayment?"

"Yeah, that's inappropriate!"

Several generals of the Shenmu Kingdom were arrogant when facing them.

He didn't give any face at all when speaking at this time.

"Shut up and don't be rude!"

Mu Liuming knew something about Qian Wanli's situation.

Seeing that his men were so disrespectful, he immediately scolded them angrily.

At this time, everyone finally shut up.

However, the attitudes they just expressed have already created a rift between Qian Wanli and Mu Liuming.

"General Qian, we can return the things, but we must hold on in this battle, otherwise all our efforts over the past few days will be wasted. I hope you understand this."

Mu Liuming expressed his position directly in front of everyone, and Qian Wanli felt a little relieved after hearing this.

"I want to continue fighting, but the problems in the Western Regions are becoming increasingly serious."

"This kind of thing is definitely not something I can solve on my own."

There was pain on his face and his tone was low.

The battle had reached this point.

The leaders of all the major countries are exhausted.

Now they are only willing to provide the most basic supplies.

As for reinforcements, there have been no large-scale deployments for several months.

This made the strength of the Western Region coalition forces increasingly weaker.

In fact, this sign was not too obvious at first.

But just a while ago, Qian Wanli, who was responsible for negotiations with the Shenmu Kingdom, suddenly sent back a letter.

It said that a large piece of land had to be ceded to the Shenmu Kingdom in order to get their help and 100,000 reinforcements.

The Western Regions coalition forces must be hoping that the Shenmu Kingdom will come to help.

However, the leaders of the major countries had heated discussions over the issue of ceding land.

In the early days, they wanted to prepare for the handover by dividing the land that needed to be ceded equally among each country.

If every country could offer the same land area, no one would gossip.

But some small countries are unwilling to do so.

For example, the Kingdom of Kucha.

They are small to begin with, and according to their calculations, everyone shares the cost equally.

As for the Kingdom of Kucha, it could destroy its entire country in one breath!

As for the big countries, even if they ceded some land, it would not hurt them at all.

This kind of thing sounded impossible, so they just slammed the table.

And proposed a new method.

That is to assume responsibility according to the area of ​​our land.

Countries with larger land areas should cede more.

The smaller the area, the less should be ceded.

Finally, summarize it and hand it over directly to the Shenmu Kingdom.

But this directly angered the larger Western Region countries, and they were also quite unwilling.

Why do we have to cede more land just because our land area is larger?

Because of their disagreement, they split into two factions.

After arguing for half a month, there was no final result.

In the end, several kings chose to flee.

They were not united to begin with, and after this incident, their suspicions became even stronger.

"Then our land..."

After learning about Qian Wanli's situation, Mu Liuming's face suddenly became a little ugly.

He immediately asked about the land cession they had agreed to.

But at this time Qian Wanli remained silent and did not give him a direct answer.

"Have you guys finally come to an agreement?"

Mu Liuming's words seemed a little anxious.

They came here this time just to get the land and make up for their losses.

If even this most basic thing is not discussed.

Hua Yunhong's position in the court will definitely be severely damaged.

Faced with his questioning, Qian Wanli was silent for a long time and finally spoke.

"We can give you some of it. After all, some rulers have already chosen to flee. We'll then divide their land with that of other major powers and give you what you want."

"How do you even it out?"

This matter was too important. Seeing that the other party was so vague, Mu Liuming immediately started to ask questions thoroughly.

"This... you need to do it yourself."

Qian Wanli relies on the supply from these kings.

It is naturally impossible to use a butcher knife to force these people to hand over their land.

At that time, this problem will still need to be solved by Mu Liuming and others.

Even if they can win the war, there is still a long process waiting for them.

After truly understanding what was going on behind the scenes, Mu Liuming's face became extremely gloomy.

"Don't fight for the next few days. Send my message to His Highness first and let him make the decision."

He turned around and gave his subordinates a direct instruction.

That night, all the troops retreated fifty miles.

It is not what Qian Wanli said about retreating a hundred miles.

But their actions have already expressed a lot.

The news soon reached Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was stunned when he learned that they had withdrawn their troops.

He asked Elder Song in surprise:

"Are you serious?"

"Indeed, sire, they seem to be mad."
