As a result, before Dong Hanzhang could think of a solution, a decree came from the imperial court, saying that since the foreigners wanted to reconcile with the Lu family, let them give it a try. If the Lu family was unwilling to reconcile, the foreigners would definitely fight against Lu.

If the Lu family is willing to reconcile... then the court is also willing to accept it, as long as the scope is demarcated, and it will be fine in the future.

Dong Hanzhang felt really cold when he heard what the court said. He understood that the court saw that it could not defeat the Lu family and was ready to give in and save half of the country.

However, judging from his dealings with Lu, Lu didn't look like the kind of person who would hold back when he took advantage. After all, seeing the other party carrying out a sneak attack, they gave in and did not dare to pursue them. As a result, they became even more arrogant.

.

Small things are like this, but big things are probably about the same. If the court is really prepared to give in, the result will not be to save half of the country, but maybe the other party will take advantage of you. Knowing that you are in trouble, they will usurp all of your territory.

So Dong Hanzhang immediately wrote a letter explaining the situation, urging the court not to give in to the Lu family, and to concentrate all the country's troops to encircle and suppress the Lu family. He did not believe that even if the whole country concentrated its efforts, it would not be able to defeat the Lu family.

But the court did not have this confidence.

It's normal to have such lack of confidence. After all, when they entered the Central Plains as a foreign race, they defeated so many people in the previous dynasty with only a few people. Since they can defeat many with less, why can't the Lu family do the same now?
p>

So when I read Dong Hanzhang's letter of dissuasion, I just said "I understand" and didn't say anything else.

When Dong Hanzhang saw the court's attitude, his heart became even colder. He knew that the court was jumping into trouble and accepting death. It just wanted to reconcile with the Lu family and did not want to fight.

He couldn't figure it out why the imperial court wanted to reconcile with the Lu family. At least it had to use the country's manpower, material and financial resources to fight the Lu family again. Now it gave up without fighting seriously. This was too unbelievable to him.

.

——How did he know that the imperial court was afraid of foreigners like tigers? Seeing that even the foreigners could not defeat the Lu family, the imperial court was frightened and did not dare to continue fighting with the Lu family. They were afraid that if they continued to fight, half of the country would be lost.

The northwest wind will blow by then, so they want to negotiate through the hands of foreigners. As long as they can keep half of the country, they are willing to do so. Anyway, if they can keep half of the country, they can still live a wealthy life, so what's wrong with it?

Although Dong Hanzhang felt that the imperial court's idea was too incredible, since the imperial court thought so, he could not object. He even took it upon himself to attack Anran and stopped immediately.

They stopped and stopped fighting. An Ran stopped attacking them. She only asked them not to surround Maple Leaf Castle anymore. Otherwise, if they were not sincere, she would continue to attack them.

Dong Hanzhang was naturally unwilling to retreat, but the foreigners were afraid of death. They were afraid that another person would die, so they ordered Dong Hanzhang to retreat. If Dong Hanzhang did not retreat, he would report it to the court and ask his court to give the order. Dong Hanzhang had no choice but to retreat, but he felt aggrieved in his heart.

He was dying, thinking that if the imperial court and the foreigners hadn't acted like this and followed his method and mobilized the whole country to encircle and suppress the Lu family, they would never have been so aggrieved.

Dong Hanzhang and others withdrew their troops and no longer besieged Maple Leaf Fort. Then the news that the foreigners wanted to negotiate with Anron spread to the Enron territory. Everyone in the Anron territory couldn't help but cheer. Everyone knew that being able to push the foreigners to this level showed that the base area had

Can we not be happy about the fact that we have the ability to protect ourselves? You must know that before, the imperial court repeatedly sent people to encircle and suppress people, especially when they invited foreigners. Everyone was still very worried. Now it seems that both the imperial officials and foreigners have taken base areas

There is no way, everyone is relieved and happy at the same time.

The happiest people are none other than Li Xiu, Li Jingming and others.

For some time now, they have been more nervous than the people in the base area. The reason is very simple. These people in the base area are confused and have no idea how powerful Dong Hanzhang and his like are, let alone how powerful the foreigners are who are more powerful than Dong Hanzhang and his like.

, but they have dealt with each other before. They fought against Fang Guozheng at that time, and also fought against Fang Guozheng's foreign gun team. They knew that they were powerful, so when they saw Dong Hanzhang and foreigners coming to fight, they were so nervous, for fear that the base would be destroyed.

They only live a little longer, and eventually they die.

Looking at it now, An Ran is indeed as Li Jingming said, even foreigners can handle it, so they are naturally the happiest. After all, in this way, they may be able to look forward to living longer.

An Ran saw that the enemy was really stupid enough to stop attacking, and then began to continue to develop her territory.

The imperial court seemed to intend to cede to itself all the four provinces that Li Xiu and others occupied back then, so they kept moving forward to develop forts. They did not attack them, so they simply stopped sending local officials to these places.

Since there was no one to stop them and Enron had plenty of manpower, Enron soon took over the four provinces that Li Xiu and others occupied back then, much faster than before.

After occupying the four provinces, Enron began to digest these four base areas.

At this time, the foreigners who really couldn't wait began to urge An Ran to show sincerity and sit at the negotiation table. Otherwise, they would continue to fight if they were not sincere.

Will An Ran take care of them? We were not afraid of them before, and now we have four provinces, we are even less afraid.

However, she had said she wanted to negotiate before, so she published an open letter in the base area newspaper, saying that as long as the foreigners agreed to the following conditions, she could negotiate.

The first is not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Xia State and the Huang Dynasty; the second is not to recognize all treaties signed by the Huang Dynasty with foreign countries; the third is that the Xia State will not allow the existence of foreign garrisons, concessions and other states within a state.

On the above basis, Xia State is willing to conduct legal bilateral trade with all countries and maintain trade balance; foreigners are allowed to apply for permanent residence in Xia State and can live, work, study, etc. in Xia State.

Yes, Anron took this opportunity to fly his own flag. Because the Chinese originated from the ancient Xia Kingdom, they were called Xia Kingdom at this time.

In An Ran's view, such conditions are fair and reasonable. As for whether foreigners would feel unhappy after seeing them, or whether Huang Chao would be angry after seeing them, she would not care. Anyway, her conditions are here.

If you don’t agree, then fight until the other party agrees.

Naturally, the foreigners did not agree to her conditions. After all, it greatly damaged their interests. As for the court, they disagreed even more. After all, none of An Ran's terms stated that the war with the Huang Dynasty would be terminated. On the contrary, the war with the Huang Dynasty would be terminated.

After taking the title of the country and mentioning so many rules, I am afraid that they still want to continue fighting with them and want to unify the country. Naturally, this is not what the court wants to see. After all, one of the prerequisites for their willingness to reconcile is to give them
