The commanders and representatives of the Donglai Alliance had to admit that they had completely failed and the soldiers were exhausted. At this time, the news of the sneak attack in the rear became the last straw that crushed their will. On the contrary, the momentum of the defenders in the city was so arrogant.

This kind of battle situation is a time to fight each other's will, but at this time, the morale of our side dropped to freezing point and the enemy reached the highest point. This is a regret, or it is Fang Zhiwen's victory, if he planned all this.

The candlelight in the tent was gently shaken by the cold wind that penetrated through the gap. The players did not light a brazier in the tent because they were not afraid of the cold. Therefore, the tent was actually very cold, and even on the roof of the tent, a string of small ice skates formed due to the steam caused by human breathing.

"Everyone, don't stop talking. We are not unpredictable about the current bad situation. Don't say that no one has considered this ending! Let's talk about it, what should we do next?"

There was silence, and even the howling north wind outside the tent was so obvious.

"Well, since everyone is unwilling to say it, I will continue to be this bad guy. The situation is clear now. We have been defeated. I don't know how the casualties of the defenders in the city were killed and killed in the three days of siege. However, our troops have reduced their troops from 330,000 to more than 200,000 now. The tragic situation is conceivable. If the corpses outside would not be automatically refreshed, I think the county town would be filled with dead bodies! So, we are not doing our best, and our soldiers are not doing our best. On the contrary, we have done our best. Our soldiers have given the greatest courage and sacrifice, but we have to admit that we are not able to do our best!"

Everyone sighed silently and looked at each other. Yes, it was because they were unable to match their strength. More than 300,000 people attacked such a small town with less than 70,000 defenders. The battle that did not stop for three days and two nights was not taken down after losing more than 100,000 people. This is really weak, and it will become a typical example of weak strength!

"Tell me straight. Now we have failed. This is a fact that must be admitted. There are two ways in front of us. One is to retreat to Changguang and reorganize the army and fight again, and the other is to negotiate with Fang Zhiwen!"

"Never surrender!" A representative of a player guild immediately made his attitude loudly.

"I didn't say it was a surrender, but at the price of a truce and retreat, we were allowed to leave Donglai County and go to Chengyang and Langya to settle down. Isn't this a surrender?"

“This is acceptable!”

"But, Fang Zhiwen is now wielding the power of a great victory. He may not agree to negotiate with us, right?"

"He will talk. We have losses, so I don't believe that he has no losses. If we continue to fight, we will not only last for a long time, but more importantly, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources of Fang Zhiwen. This is not cost-effective. Fang Zhiwen is a master who can't get up early in his heart!"

This is really unfair to Fang Zhiwen. Fang Zhiwen gets up early every day to train and never stays in the gentle place.

"It makes sense. In this way, we can still try our best to preserve our respective military power. What we lose is only population and some money and food, and we can have the opportunity to start over. As the saying goes, betting is not a loss, or one day, we may be able to take back everything we have lost."

"Haha, there must be a chance. Even if we live longer than Fang Zhiwen, we will live longer. Sooner or later, this world belongs to us!"

"Well"

"I'm still in the mood to joke at this time. I'm really convinced you. It's better to think about what to do next if you have this skill!"

"What's the point of thinking about this? Since we have decided to negotiate, we will go to the negotiations and try our best to strive for the better. Then we will go to Chengyang and Langya to develop. This time we have made up our minds and must lie on firewood and taste gall. As the saying goes, God will live up to those who work hard. I believe that one day I will make a comeback."

"Okay! Ambition! What's wrong with failure? Being abused by bosses in the game is very common. As long as we work hard to improve ourselves, we will find it back one day. At that time, we will be tortured to death and will be abused repeatedly, haha!"

"That's right, I'm afraid of a ball! I'm done!"

The Donglai coalition quickly unified the understanding, and the next day, he sent negotiators to contact Fang Zhiwen.

In fact, Fang Zhiwen is not interested in fighting now. Of course, it is impossible to fight. However, if the other party can voluntarily withdraw from Donglai County, it is also a feasible option. However, before the negotiations are completed, Gao Shun and Li Yuanzhi's pace will not stop and are heading towards Huangxian and Haiyang respectively.

The casualties in the city were actually very large. The attacking parties outside the city lost one-third of the losses, and the defenders in the city had already lost half. Even Fang Zhiwen's team had more than 3,000 people died, and the officers' regiment had more than a dozen people. The losses were heavy. In fact, if the coalition forces outside the city waited for the dead players to resurrect and attack the city again, perhaps Fang Zhiwen would have to evacuate from Ting County.

Of course, the premise is that the morale of the Donglai Alliance can be restored to a level that can be fought.

Fang Zhiwen met with two visiting envoys in the government office, one was Zheng Jun, the commander of the Ting County Battle, and the other was Yang Dingshan, the rotating chairman of the coalition forces.

Fang Zhiwen was accompanied by Xu Shu, and there were only four people participating in the negotiations. After a greeting between the two sides, they got to the point.

"Mr. Fang, we admit that this battle was a failure, but victory or defeat is common in military affairs. I believe that the Lord of the Army will definitely understand this. It is not that our Donglai Alliance has no power to fight again, but that it is not willing to suffer lives in vain. Besides, we Yiren have never feared war and are not afraid of fighting!"

Yang Dingshan's words set the next tone for negotiations, that is, the Donglai Alliance was not here to surrender, and the Donglai Alliance was not afraid of war, but just hoped to end the war with the least cost.

Fang Zhiwen exchanged glances with Xu Shu and smiled faintly, "It is true that Yiren is never afraid of fighting. Similarly, my army in Miyun and Beihai are not afraid of fighting. Do you want to declare war? I think that's not necessary, because we have never ceased to fight, the battle is still going on, or our army can take over Haiyang and Huangxian tomorrow. If your army still wants to fight, then fight! The war is something you have taken on!"

"My lord misunderstood. We came with sincerity. President Yang just now meant that we would not choose war if we could accept it."

"Oh, then we might as well open the skylight and say something. You can tell me what you want."

"Of course, we hope to achieve a ceasefire on the existing basis, and then reach a compromise on the territory controlled by both sides. We hope that the adults can return the four cities to our army, and our army will withdraw its troops and sign a long-term non-aggression agreement."

Xu Shu curled his lips and said, "You two have a good idea, but we are not interested in this wishful thinking. If you come for this, please come back. We are waiting for your army."

"Uh, of course, this is just a proposal. If Lord Fang and Mr. Xu have different opinions, can they still negotiate?"

"Oh, since that's the case, I'll also express our opinions. We hope that your army will surrender unconditionally immediately, surrender completely, and then accept our army's reorganization. What are the conditions!"

"Never!" Yang Dingshan replied coldly, his tone of decisiveness.

Xu Shu smiled and continued, "Okay, it seems that there is too much difference between us, so we should continue to fight until the two of you think our opinions are acceptable. Let's talk again!"

"Haha, Mr. Xu was joking, let's just say that the biggest limit of our army is to recognize the current actual control line, and then the two sides sign a non-aggression agreement. I believe Mr. Xu and Lord Fang can agree, right?"

Xu Shu nodded gently, which made Zheng Jun and Yang Dingshan secretly happy. Regardless of what Xu Shu said, he did not expect from what they expected.

"This can be considered, but it's all right to agree, because both of us are not from the same camp. Our master is a loyal minister of the Han family, and the two are rebels. There is no such thing as a ceasefire agreement, but we promise not to actively attack your army within a certain period of time."

Zheng Jun looked at Xu Shu with some amusement, shook his head and said, "How long will it take? It won't be until the snow stops, right?"

"It's hard to say about this. Maybe, the one who actively breaks the agreement will be your army! The strange man has no faith, which is a fact that everyone knows, isn't it?"

Zheng Jun was so angry that this matter had something to do with Yi Ren Wuxin!

Yang Dingshan thought for a while, looked at Fang Zhiwen who looked like he was watching the show and said, "Master Fang hopes that the war will continue?"

"The initiative of fighting or not fighting is now in the hands of your army. Yuan Zhi said just now, you can choose to surrender unconditionally!"

"Master Fang, as the saying goes, rabbits are biting when they are anxious. Even if we are not able to bear it, it is still feasible to fight tens of thousands of elite soldiers to death. Is this what Master Fang wants?"

"Of course not, but I, Miyun, have never been someone who was bullied by others without fighting back. On the contrary, our purpose is to die if those who offend me will die. This is the case for the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people. As for you, for the sake of the same clan, you can discuss how to fail decently!"

"you!."

"President, don't worry. Since lords say that you can fail decently, then, in the opinion of lords, is only surrender a decent failure? We are not the same camp. Surrender means betrayal of the camp. I cannot see any decentness in it. So, what does lord's decency mean?"

Fang Zhiwen smiled meaningfully: "What do you think?"

Zheng Jun frowned, and silently turned his head to look at Yang Dingshan with a dark face. The two quickly exchanged opinions. Yang Dingshan gritted his teeth, looked up at Fang Zhiwen, and said firmly: "Okay, you won. We only have one bottom line. As the price of the ceasefire, we are allowed to withdraw from Donglai County on its own."

Fang Zhiwen grinned.
