After Gu Chade successfully recovered Chengzhou, the war between Xu and Shen gradually calmed down. Gu Chade set up his headquarters directly in Qingling County, with the goal of being defeated by Mulangye's First Army.

, occupied the three cities of Zisu, Tongfang and Wanquan. These three cities must be recovered in his plan.

The location of these three cities is right on the narrow passage south of the Misty Swamp. It is the only passage in the middle of the border between the two countries. You can advance, attack, retreat or defend. The geographical location is very important. Before the war began, Mulang Ye

From the beginning, he quickly took control of these three cities in his own hands by secretly infiltrating Chencang.

Gu Charde pondered: "The location of the three cities in Tongfang is too important and must be in my own hands. I have written to that little kid Mulangye in two places, urging him to return the three cities, but he has not received any response.

Dear Linda, dear Kardashian, do you have any good ideas?"

Kardashian replied: "There are only two ways to take back these three cities. The first is to negotiate, and the second is to attack by force. Since Mulan Ye ignored our request for negotiation, the remaining ways are

It’s just a forceful attack.”

Linda took Kardashian's hand and said softly: "Don't be ridiculous. The war between us and the State of Xu has finally calmed down. You don't know how long this fight will last. Don't forget, we are now

The biggest enemies are the four major families, not the people of Xu."

Kardashian was dissatisfied: "Tongfang, Zisu, and Wanquan are the three cities of our Shen Kingdom. It is only natural for us to take back our homeland. Mulangye does not agree to negotiate, so we can only fight."

Linda glanced at Gu Chad and said: "It's not that Mulang Ye disagrees with the negotiation, but that he disagrees with the return of the three cities of Tongfang as a prerequisite for the armistice negotiations between the two parties."

Guchard said solemnly: "Our request to return the three cities of Tongfang first and then conduct armistice negotiations is a bit excessive. No one will give up the benefits that have been obtained unless we can provide corresponding bargaining chips in exchange."

Linda shook her head and said: "Given the importance of these three cities, even if we exchange one county for them, Mulang Ye may not agree to the exchange."

Gu Chad said in a deep voice: "In any case, Tongfang and the other three cities must be taken back. Otherwise, the Xu people can send troops from here at any time to attack us together with Fuzhou in the north. The border is unstable, how can I return to the emperor with confidence?

City to deal with the four major families. This time in the war with the State of Xu, we were sidelined by the Boyard family at the most critical moment, and the situation took a turn for the worse. I don’t want to have a fierce fight with the four major families in the future.

At that time, the State of Xu stabbed us in the back. You all think about it and think of anything you can get that can redeem Tongfang and three other cities."

Linda shook her head and said: "Husband, don't you know how much money we have? The imperial court's ever-expanding army has consumed all of our wealth. There is simply not enough money to redeem Tongfang, Zisu and

Thirty percent of Wanquan."

Gu Chad shook his head and said: "The weight of a city cannot be measured by money. No matter how much money you put in front of Mulangye, they will not return the three cities of Tongfang."

Linda frowned and said, "Then what else can we do? I don't know if Mulang Ye likes to collect rare treasures. We have traveled through many realms and have some rare things on hand, which may be used for exchange."

Guchard waved his hand and said: "It's useless. The so-called rare treasures are okay for appreciation, but their real value is not high. Mulang Ye will not be so stupid."

After a long silence, Kardashian suddenly said: "Husband, the reason why you value Tongfang, Zisu and Wanquan is that you are worried that the Xu people will launch a surprise attack on our army from here in the future, not because you really value them.

You’ve got these cities, right?”

Guchard: "Nonsense, these three cities are military fortresses. Apart from their military value, there is nothing worthy of attention at all."

Kardashian smiled and said: "That's easy. Since Mulangye dominates Tongfang and other three cities and won't return it, we can simply be more generous and give it to them."

Linda was shocked and said: "Kardashian, are you crazy? The strategic positions of Tongfang and other three cities are extremely important. We must not give up easily."

Kardashian said calmly: "Sister, don't be anxious. Our purpose is just to ensure the safety of Qingling County and the hinterland of Chengzhou, and prevent Xu State from suddenly sending troops to attack, right?"

Linda nodded: "Yes!"

Kardashian said proudly: "To achieve this goal, we do not necessarily have to control Tongfang and other three cities. We can completely rebuild a solid defense line to the west of Tongfang City. In this way, the Xu people will

Has the threat to Qingling County and the hinterland of Chengzhou been lifted?"

Chad laughed loudly, pulled Kardashian into his arms for a deep kiss, and said: "My dear, your idea is great. I will send someone to inform Mulanye to officially stop the negotiations." (Unfinished)
