The battle to defend Guangming City was considered to be a winner, but is the war over?

not yet.

The Light Empire was still dozens of cities under the occupation of the Dark Empire. Hai Xiangyin withdrew its troops, but instead of withdrawing its troops back to the Dark Empire, he retreated into the cities they occupied.

At the imperial meeting, most generals proposed to seize the victory, launch a final attack on Hai and Yin, and drive out the troops of the Dark Empire in one fell swoop. After a long period of deep thought and inquiring about the opinions of Hu You and others, Zhu Fangfei did not make a comprehensive counterattack.

Zhu Fangfei was calm. She knew very well that the reason why the defense of Guangming City was able to win was not because of how powerful the Empire of Guangming was, but because Hai Xiangyin had mistakes, and the greed for merit made the supply line long and difficult. The information error made Hai Xiangyin wrongly think that the Guangming Army had been seriously affected by Hu You's death and could not exert its due combat power. In addition, Hu You's several successful raids eventually planted the seeds for Hai Xiangyin's failure.

With Hai Xiangyin retreating, the situation became different. The Empire of Light has entered summer. Summer is a season of less rain, and the road no longer has made it easy to replenish supplies. After experiencing this failure, regardless of whether Hai Xiangyin continues to serve as the commander of the troops, the Dark Army will no longer make it so carelessly. I am afraid that even if Hu You falls from a hundred floors on the live broadcast, they will no longer believe that Hu You is dead. In such a situation, it is very difficult to win another big victory.

Another very important thing is that in the defense of the city of Light, the losses of the Light Army were also very heavy. The so-called killing one thousand enemies and the losses of the Light Army were not just "eight hundred", but a heartbreaking number. You should know that they almost used their bodies to block the enemy's attack. The Dark Empire lost 500,000 troops, while the soldiers of the Light Empire suffered more than 500,000 losses. It also required a large amount of people and property losses. If it were not for the strong national strength of the Light Empire, the pension would have always allowed the entire living standards of the Light Empire to retreat ten years.

It is definitely necessary to fight, but what Zhu Fangfei needs to do most now is to restore national strength and strengthen equipment. The replenishment of soldiers and rash pursuit will not only fail to achieve the expected results, but may instead ruin the achievements exchanged for blood and tears.

"I really want to have a good sleep." After the meeting of the whole day, Zhu Fangfei felt that her whole body was weak. War can make a person grow up quickly and also make people grow up quickly. Zhu Fangfei is less than 25 years old this year. But she already feels that her heart is sixty and seventy years old.

Hu You smiled and said, "It's not too much to have a good sleep, but you have to work hard after taking the sleep. The Dark Empire is a military empire. They will never accept such failures and will definitely come again."

"I know that even if they don't come, I will recover the cities they occupied. I'm just talking about it. I've died three years ago and I have time to sleep. Now is not the time for me to sleep."

"You have changed, become strong."

"Born under such a situation, who can remain unchanged, you are not born to be able to fight wars."

Although the war has no result, it is finally not that nervous and has been tired for so many days. Hu You can finally relax. He heard that Qiushui Bar has reopened, and Hu You is preparing to go there to sit and meet Li Qiushui by the way.

Guangming City has not yet returned to its former liveliness, and there are not many pedestrians on the street. There are many soldiers on patrol. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Hu You did not wear military uniforms. Instead, he changed into casual clothes and deliberately put on glasses, looking like a scholar.

Qiushui Bar is always open 24 hours a day. You can come at any time if you are interested, and you don’t have to worry about being turned away.

"Don't tell me: You are waiting for me." Hu You saw Li Qiushui when he arrived at the bar. Li Qiushui was also dressed casually today, and his pure appearance attracted a lot of people's attention.

"What if I say yes?" Li Qiushui was very happy with Hu You's arrival. Hu You is one of her few friends. Friends are not necessary, but people without friends will lose a lot of happiness.

"Has Zhu Fangfei called you?" Hu You thought of Zhu Fangfei. No one outside of Zhu Fangfei knew his whereabouts. It is not difficult to guess this 'traitor'. Moreover, it was also Zhu Fangfei told him that Qiushui Bar reopened.

"I called her. I wanted to make an appointment with her, but unfortunately she was not available."

"So I became a substitute." Hu You joked.

"Of course it's not like that." Li Qiushui became anxious. She actually wanted to invite Zhu Fangfei to take the opportunity to invite Hu You. Hu You was more happy than Zhu Fangfei's arrival.

"I'm teasing you, it's your nerves. I'm going to have a good drink today."

Li Qiushui smiled and said, "How can people who open the bar have no good wine? I'll prepare it for you long ago."

It feels good to drink and chat with Li Qiushui. Li Qiushui always has so many interesting things to say, and he will never mention the topic of war and current situation.

It was already dark after coming out of the bar. Hu You didn't eat at Li Qiushui. He was not hungry after drinking so much wine, so he wanted to walk around so casually.

Before the city of Light has recovered from the war, the genius had just been dark, and there were no pedestrians on the road. The blocks where the power supply was damaged were even darker. The dim candlelight did not have the romance of Valentine's Day. The impact of war on people is not only fearful, but also in various aspects.

"Young Marshal." The stones that rushed over destroyed Hu You's mood. I wonder if something happened again.

"What's the situation?" Hu You stopped.

"The news just came: The Dark Empire intends to negotiate with the Light Empire."

"How is this possible?" Hu You's first reaction was no. War and peace talks are brothers, and as long as there is a war, there is a possibility of peace talks. But it is absolutely unreasonable for the Dark Empire to propose peace talks at this time, and it does not conform to Hesseton's character.

"I don't think it's possible. The Dark Empire has not been fought well this time, but its impact on their strength is definitely not as if peaceful negotiations are needed. There must be some conspiracy in it."

"What's the reaction from Zhu Fangfei?"

"I don't know. I will come out to find you as soon as I receive the message. I believe she will contact you soon."

"I don't believe that Hesseton will be interested in peace at this time." Zhu Fangfei spoke without waiting for Hu You to ask.

Hu You frowned and said, "Why did Hesseton raise issues that the whole world does not believe in at this time?"

Even Zhu Fangfei didn't believe that Hesseton would agree to the peace talk at this time. Hu You really couldn't think of anyone who would believe Hesseton's proposal. You should know that the Dark Empire still occupies dozens of cities in the Light Empire, and its advantages are still in their hands. To put it bluntly, war is beneficial to them, and there is no need to take the initiative to negotiate. It's almost a pity that this is a conspiracy, but I don't know what kind of conspiracy Hesseton wants to play.

"I don't know either. I have replied to Hesiton and told him that the peace talks are OK, but the troops must be withdrawn and returned to our city."

"You are right to do this, see how Hesseton will reply."

Hesseton's reply arrived the next day. He promised to return the city of the Light Empire and withdraw his troops, and even offered to pay a large sum of compensation to the Light Empire. The only condition was only one - Hu You.

Hesseton's reply was very clear. As long as the Light Empire handed over Hu You to the Dark Empire for disposal, the Dark Empire could agree to all the conditions of the Light Empire, and even give much more than what the Light Empire wanted.

"Heisedon's game this time was not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy." Hu You said with a wry smile.

Zhu Fangfei affirmed: "No matter what, I will not hand you over to the Dark Empire!"

"You don't know, but others can." Hu You's words were also very direct. Why do humans have war? It's a contradiction in the distribution of interests. Why do people are willing to sacrifice? It's to protect themselves, their families, and their rights. They have to sacrifice.

Now there is no need to fight or sacrifice the lives of countless soldiers. You just need to hand over Hu You. Everything can go back to the past. In the eyes of many people, this transaction is not only overdoing, but also losing no money to oneself. Why can’t it be done?

"I decided not to allow such a thing to happen. If it weren't for you, our Empire of Light would have disappeared. You are the benefactor of the Empire. How can you repay the grudges with grudges!" Zhu Fangfei was young, not a political and political family. She didn't understand the means of compromise, but Hu You was no longer young. He had gone through too many such things, and he had many things to sell his brothers for personal interests. What was the point of sacrificing one person for the benefit of the entire empire? Moreover, this person was not a member of the empire. Although he had made contributions to the empire, he could get more by selling him.

"I won't discuss this matter for the time being." Hu You shook his head. He knew that Zhu Fangfei would not betray him, but he could not guarantee that people's ideas were actually the same individual. When facing the same environment, everyone's reaction was different.

It is shameless to betray Hu You, but under the premise of the entire Light Empire, this is selfless. Since the war with the Light Empire, including the early damages, the soldiers killed in the Light Empire have reached nearly one million. This is just the beginning. The Light Empire will definitely want to recover the lost territory. The Dark Empire has a great chance to make a comeback. The war will definitely break out again. How many wives and children will be separated and their families will be destroyed?

"As long as you hand over a Hu You, you can resolve all the possible losses, and you can recover the lost land and get a large amount of compensation from the Dark Empire. Why can't you do it?" Song Shilin, the commander of the third front, spoke at the special military meeting.

This was a special military meeting secretly recruited by commanders of various regions of the Guangming Army. Hu You did not attend the meeting because he did not receive any notice in this regard, so even if he received the wind, he did not attend.

Zhou Tianzhu became popular all of a sudden. He actually didn't want to participate in such a good person because he knew that the issue must be related to the peace talks of the Dark Empire, that is, it was related to betrayal of Hu You. But due to the face of so many old friends, he had to come. He also wanted to hear what everyone said, but he didn't expect that the first person to speak directly pointed the finger at Hu You.

"Song Shilin. You have fought side by side with the young commander. How can you say that?"

"Zhou Tianzhu, I am also thinking about the empire. Hu You helped us, and I don't deny it, but you also need to know that Hu You helped us to use our strength to deal with the Dark Empire and allow his Immortal Legion to have time and space to develop. Even without these, you should also know the loss of our army in the Battle of Light City. Your second front was badly fighting, and my third front was also not good. Almost all the institutions were broken. If a war broke out again, the lost life would be astronomical, and we may not necessarily win. Now we only need to exchange one Hu You to get peace and let the empire return to its previous life. Is this wrong?"

"This is wrong. Song Shilin, you are also a soldier. You should know the truth that your lips and teeth are cold. Hesseton wants us to hand over Hu You, that is to remove our teeth. Yes. Hesseton may really withdraw his troops and return the city to us, and even pay us a lot of money, but is this really peace? This is just an illusory peace. Even if the Immortal Legion does not come to make an explanation. Without Hu You, Hesseton can rekindle the war at any time. Due to the example of betraying Hu You, no one will help us resist the Dark Empire. Have you ever thought about what the outcome will be like then?"

"Without Butcher Zhang, would you still have to eat a pig with hair? I don't deny Hu You's ability. But you underestimate the strength of my Light Empire too much. Am I still afraid of the Dark Empire if my Dark Empire is not going to be able to succeed? Don't forget that darkness will never defeat light. If the Dark Empire dares to tear up peace, I will make them regret it."

"I also feel that with the strength of our Light Empire, as long as we are prepared in advance, the Dark Empire will have no choice but to deal with us. We are the ones who take advantage of us if Hesitong wants me, for the peace of the empire, I will never frown."

"Just a fool like you, you dare to compare yourself with the young coach..."

The military meeting ended up in a quarrel. Half of those who supported Hu You and those who supported Hu You betrayed each other. Everyone said it makes sense, and no one can convince anyone. In the end, they even started a quarrel and almost started. The meeting could not be held until the end was completed without any results. Hesitong is worthy of being an old-fashioned strong man. He did not use a single shot or a bullet, and just a few simple words made the generals of the Guangming Empire disagree. The unity of the armies that had previously hated the enemy disappeared in a blink of an eye.

This is not the whole of Heisedon's plot. Zhu Fangfei was trying hard to block the news. Only the absolute high-level core could learn it. However, with the cooperation of spies, in just three days, the entire Empire of Light, both ordinary people and soldiers, had already known the news of the peace talks. Similarly, those who supported Hu You and those who supported betray Hu You were evenly matched, and no one could convince anyone. He couldn't control his emotions and took action directly. This kind of fight with different ideas happened almost every day. The small one was three or two people fighting, the most were dozens of dozens or hundreds, and there were even several military battles. Although there were no major casualties due to the timely stopping, the impact was very bad and morale was severely hit.

"Haisedon's plot is really poisonous." Zhu Fangfei was already in a state of great anxiety. She thought that the Tian Dark Empire could only withdraw its troops and develop its equipment and military equipment with all its might, but she didn't know that it would be like this. Although she was very young and had never experienced such a thing, she knew very well that if this continued, the entire Light Empire would have no power to fight. At that time, no matter whether Hu You was handed over to the Dark Empire or not, she would lose.

Hu You has always been able to help Zhu Fangfei figure out a way to solve the problem, but this time he can't help Zhu Fangfei. Of course, Hu You can't do what he handed over, but the differences between the Empire of Light will become increasingly bigger and bigger. Seeing that the strength that he had finally gathered was gradually erased, Hu You's heart was really full of mixed feelings and indescribable bitterness.

"I was so angry that I just ordered to attack the Dark Empire troops." Zhu Fangfei said angrily. At this time, she really missed the days of the Battle of the City of Light. Although life was hard at that time, everyone was very united. They only had one goal in their minds: to repel the Dark Empire. Now, no war is more difficult than fighting. The most atrocities are that they can't even fight back.

"Don't say those angry words, it's useless." Hu You sighed and said, "The more difficult it is, the more you need to be calm. Only by being calm can you come up with a solution."

"What else can I think of now? Why don't you leave and go back to the Immortal Bird Legion? It's your territory. Hesseton's bad trick is useless to you." Zhu Fangfei was reluctant to leave Hu You, and knew that Hu You would have a great blow to the Empire of Light at this time, but no matter what, she could not do anything to exchange Hu You for peace. If she betrayed Hu You, how could she have the face to see people?

"It is easy to leave, but if I leave like this, the Empire of Light will inevitably be divided and split. At that time, I will not be able to withstand the attack of the Dark Empire. When the Empire of Light is over, the whole world will be destroyed halfway. How long can I last even if I have an Immortal Legion?"
