The Tang Dynasty's drastic actions in Puer and Duoton made Xisluo and Kaman feel the chill. Puer and Duoton fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Once the Tang Dynasty stabilized the situation in these two places, the situation of Kaman and Xisluo can only be described in one word, a turtle in the jar! There are the Boyin people who sharpen the knife in the north, and the nomadic barbarians who have become Tang in the west. The only support on the east side has also become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need to say the south side. Just from the increasing military strength at Jiayu Pass, we can know that the Tang Dynasty is already planning the final strategy.

It’s not that we are not aware of the huge pressure brought by external changes, but now Kaman and Sisro are unable to take care of themselves. The serious civil strife caused by the defeat in the war has put both countries in an unprecedented internal crisis.

The Kaman Prime Minister Hua Sili and Deputy Prime Minister Knox have submitted their resignation to the Imperial Emperor Delika, but the idea of ​​the imperial nobles to persuade the former Prime Minister Gomez to come out again as Prime Minister was hindered. Gomez simply refused the invitation to reorganize the cabinet, saying that he was in poor health and could no longer assume the heavy responsibility of Prime Minister. However, the entire Kaman Empire could no longer find anyone who could be competent for this position. Before finding a suitable replacement, Hua Sili and Knox had to temporarily act as conveners of the cabinet.

However, Huacili and Knox, who had lost their authority, could only use their whole body and mind to the internal affairs of the empire, the pensions for the fallen soldiers, the resettlement compensation for the disabled soldiers, and the tax increase again. These contradictions broke out with the failure of the war, making the entire Kaman Empire more like a red-hot iron pot, making everyone restless, but they could not think of any way to deal with it.

This war was originally a dangerous move by the Kaman Empire, almost all the national and financial resources of the Kaman Empire were put into full play. He never thought that the war would reach this point. Now the families of the dead soldiers were not given pensions, the disabled soldiers were not placed and compensated, and the military supplies needed to be guaranteed. All this could only be solved by increasing taxes. The nobles who were angry and dissatisfied with the fact that this war did not bring any results were indeed extremely angry, and those ordinary people who had nothing to do with the victory of the war were even more furious. They did not get any benefits. Now that they failed, the imperial government actually wanted to transfer the pain to them by increasing taxes. Think about the poor performance of these troops who were eating the military pay they paid taxes in the south. No one could control their anger.

Riots and commotion first broke out from Yabin in the south and Hulan in the north and north, and quickly spread to the neighboring Kilo and Capillar areas. Then the capital Budley also began to riots. The families of soldiers who did not receive the pension and those soldiers who were disabled in the war went to the victory and demanded that the government cash the pension and resettlement compensation. The situation quickly became out of control. Although Claudia asked the government to quickly borrow loans from the big merchants and banks to ensure the smooth repayment of the pension and resettlement compensation, on the other hand, it also quickly dispatched the Royal Guards to suppress the wounded soldiers who took the opportunity to make trouble in order to quickly stabilize the situation.

Although the suppression of the rioters was smooth, the imperial government's loans to the merchants and banks were rejected. Merchants and financiers were worried about the collapse of the economy. The government had no ability to repay, and refused to provide large loans to the government, and was only willing to provide a very limited small and high-interest loan. The time and conditions for repayment were also quite harsh. This situation continued until Gomez came to lobby the merchants and financiers. However, the situation in the entire empire had also fallen into turmoil. In addition to the relatively stable city of Murmansk, which was still besieged under the siege of the Northern Pyin, the entire Kaman Empire was in turmoil.

The army could not suppress the troops at all, especially when facing their former colleagues who were now missing their arms and blind, the soldiers could not take action at all. Moreover, when they learned that they had not received the compensation they deserved, the dissatisfaction in the army was also spreading. The sad mood of the rabbit and the fox was enough to affect the soldiers at the grassroots level. Perhaps they are tomorrow's themselves. This situation led to the escape of a large number of soldiers in the Kaman army.

This situation only began to ease until the loan funds of the big merchants and financiers were in place, and the pensions of the dead soldiers and the resettlement compensation of the wounded soldiers began to be issued smoothly. However, the emotions of the little nobles and ordinary people were already very excited, and calls for the abolition of the new tax policy were heard one after another. At this moment, Huacili and Knox realized that the position below tens of thousands of people was not easy to sit. In the past, he saw Gomez sitting in this position, but now it was his turn to sit, and he realized that under this seat was actually a volcano that could erupt at any time.

But at this time, Gomez had completely lost the desire to come out again, and it was not that he did not want to do his part for Kaman. However, after this battle, Gomez knew that the Liberians were no longer able to win this war. It was only a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty won a complete victory. The strong comprehensive national strength was enough to drag Sisro and Kaman to death.

The only chance of the Liberians was to concentrate their troops at the beginning of the war and forcibly storm the heart of the Tang Empire at all costs, completely shaking the hearts of the people of the Tang Empire. If they can conquer Zhongzhou in one fell swoop or win one or two major victories in the Tang Dynasty, Li Wufeng's ruling foundation will collapse. The nomadic peoples and the conquered people of the West, as well as the Three Kingdoms Alliance and the southern natives will suddenly change the direction of the wind, from the closest allies to the most vicious enemy. However, the Liberians did not seize this opportunity and lost this opportunity, which means that the Liberians may have to enter a dark era of destruction. How to retain some seeds and spirits for the Liberians as much as possible in this era of destruction is what Gomez needs to consider now, and everything else is irrelevant.

Compared with Gomez's pessimism, the Sithro people's situation was much better. Although they also suffered considerable setbacks in the Northwest County, they had obtained several years of preparation time and were not as much consumed as the Kamans in the previous years. Although their morale was hit hard by the failure of the war, they had relatively sufficient financial and logistical support, and there was no regime crisis like Kamans. However, the Mots, Tubus, Qiuers and Luobei nomadic cavalry swept from the Tenggeri grassland to the west for no reason and gave the Sithro people a slaughter.

They couldn't understand why these nomadic peoples who had already attached to the Tang Dynasty suddenly broke out before the Tang Dynasty had taken any action. It was not until later that they realized that the Imperial Privy Council and the Government Council had jointly given the green light to these nomadic peoples. All the nomadic cavalry who launched an attack on the territory of the Sithro Empire, whether it was reserves or other, could be owned by themselves, and the empire would also provide generous rewards for these riders of all races who had plagued the Sithro Empire. As soon as this policy was introduced, it immediately aroused the long-lost enthusiasm of the nomadic people on the Dongtengri grassland. The nomadic cavalry, who had been strictly restrained by the Tang Dynasty for a long time, finally had the opportunity to do their old job openly.

The locust-like harassment continued to be staged in the western part of the Sithro Empire from north to south. With the continuous infiltration and advancement of the Boyin people in the north, both Felix V and Pokaninsky realized that this war might have just begun, and what followed was the real torture.

Compared with the smooth progress of the war in the north, it seemed a little calm on the battlefield of Maqikhan in the south. Liang Chongxin's performance on the battlefield of Maqikhan seemed to be a little overshadowed, especially after the Three Kingdoms coalition forces invaded the eastern part of Maqikhan, the imperial army did not seem to have made many big moves, which made the imperial people quite slander their comments on him.

However, Liang Chongxin seemed to have no intention to change his strategy. Yuejing had already been taken down, and now only Anjie Province and Machikhan's land were left. The Three Kingdoms Allied Forces occupied the eastern part of Machikhan and also set up a local station. The entire battle situation entered a wonderful and extremely quiet state. What made the people of the Empire dissatisfied was that His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire and the Privy Council seemed to have no intention of interfering in Liang Chongxin's command. Although some media in the Empire criticized Liang Chongxin for his conservative style and old tactics, this could not change the idea of ​​the Privy Council. Everything was still running according to their respective scheduled tracks.

The Maqi Khans have entered a national mobilization situation, and a large number of reserve troops have been summoned to the army. This situation has made Maqi Khan's own consumption even more huge. The South-Sea Alliance has completely cut off trade and trade with Maqi Khan under the pressure of the empire, and has also deployed the alliance troops to the northern border area at the request of the Tang Dynasty to prevent the Maqi Khan from jumping over the wall. This has caused Maqi Khan to fall into a desperate situation, especially the inability to import various strategic materials, forcing the Maqi Khans to use it.
