You know, such a strong wall and clear field are extremely harmful to production.

Just like farmers like Cao Yang, this means that their houses need to be burned and their unripe grains need to be harvested immediately. But in fact, even if the grain is harvested, it is actually impossible to eat, because it is still in the time when the food is not collected, so the grain cannot be eaten at all.

I also need to bring my family and arrive in Jincheng.

Let your wife, children and mother in the sun and rain.

He even needs to be recruited and become a member of the army. He no longer takes care of the crops in his field, but he can only guard the city walls every day, waiting for him.

And once a war begins, it means... you may die.

War is the most helpless choice, especially for the people in Gaochang, who have always been victims of the war.

Of course, they knew better than anyone that the loss of defeat in war is greater, because this means that his wife and children cannot be protected, and the two are the worst. Cao Yang can only take up weapons and protect his family.

But now... it suddenly ignited a glimmer of hope for Cao Yang.

What if the Tang Dynasty was not hostile to Gaochang?

Why hostile?

The Tang Dynasty even the Turkish cavalry slaves treated them so kindly.

Will they slaughter the people of my Gaochang Kingdom?

It seems... the war may be over.

then……

People like Cao Yang are relieved these days, and there is less tension in the camp. Even... after looking for a good day, Cao Yang took a leave of absence and hurriedly ran to find his mother, wife and children: "Mom, I think the war is coming to an end. The Tang Dynasty... don't want to attack at all... I think they will send envoys to discuss peace with our king soon."

"Amitabha." After hearing this, Cao's mother was overjoyed.

It seemed that light suddenly appeared in her turbid eyes.

Gaochang Kingdom believed in Buddhism, and Cao's mother was even more so.

After all... this life is too hard, if there is no next life, what fun is there to be in life?

Cao's mother kept nodding: "Okay, okay, if this is possible, it would be great. My son, don't worry about my mother anymore. We can go back to our hometown... The harvest this year is gone, but this battle cannot be fought again. If this continues, in the coming year, if we miss the spring plowing, we will really go hungry."

What Cao's mother is thinking about is more than ten acres of land at home. Although most of the land cannot grow many crops, it is the only property that Cao Yang's father and ancestors have made real guns and knives.

"When I have a few more days, it will be winter. At that time, I will go to the mountains and find ways to cut down some wood, so we will build the house again. My grandson... these days, I have always called cold and there is no house. How can I survive this winter? Also... When my mother left, she secretly hid some grain in the cellar. In the coming year, we will be able to plough spring. You have the strength, your wife, virtuous, and grandson is smart. We can live a good life. In the future... we will have naan bread every day."

As she was talking, Cao's mother cried and she was overjoyed.

Finally... there is hope.

Here... although I could barely find a bite, Cao's mother had never felt so desperate.

So, while she was crying, she touched her grandson's little head, and the baby was staring at Cao Yang's waist bag. He hoped that his father could use magic tricks to make a naan bread for him to eat.

These days, my mother has never been so happy, and Cao Yang couldn't help but wipe her tears: "Hey, listen to my mother, I'll work hard next year."

Cao's wife was also grinning, but when she grinned, she showed her yellow teeth and her skin was rough. Even if the Han people with delicate skin were living in Gaochang for a long time, they would inevitably have a layer of uneliminated bumps.

But this laughter was indescribable in Cao Yang's eyes.

He pulled Cao's wife aside and whispered to ask her to take good care of her mother.

Cao's wife kept nodding and couldn't help but worry: "When will the war end?"

Cao Yang thought for a while: "I'm afraid it's almost there. In just a few days, we and the Tang Dynasty are brothers. After all, I have inquired about the Chen family in Hexi, and they are also very kind and righteous. Do our kings want to be enemies with the powerful Tang Dynasty? Soon, I'm afraid that the messenger of the Central Plains's throne will arrive, and then we will be as close as brothers."

These are the news that Cao Yang heard in the camp. Almost everyone talked about it and believed that the war had ended. Otherwise, the Tang army would have come long ago, so why were it just some Turkic cavalry slaves?

Of course, it is reasonable to have disputes between each other. Brothers will blush, but brothers are brothers after all, and they are connected by blood and will not turn against each other.

Seeing that he was so sure, Cao's wife was relieved and couldn't help but giggle, "We will go home then?"

Cao Yang said confidently: "Well, go home!"

These two words are very heavy, and then he explained everything and left in a hurry.

The camp was a little relaxed, and everyone was no longer as nervous as before.

Most people think that at most seven or eight days, everyone will disband on the spot and then go back to their own houses.

Just when we were leaving, our comrades cherished their daily feelings.

Almost everyone was talking in the camp, what they had to do after they had their own weapons and returned to the field.

There was a little guy named Liu Yi, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, short and taller than the wheel. He patted his chest and said to people everywhere, "When the war is over, I will cross the Gobi and go to Hexi. I want to eat meat, and I can eat one can a day."

When it comes to canning, many people make fun of it, and people like this little guy.

And he always talks about canned iron, which makes many soldiers from the rebel army salivate.

Of course, more people just smile...Hexi... it's too far away. Everyone has been in Gaochang for generations. Gaochang is the home. They have been here for hundreds of years. How can they leave easily?

Cao Yang also grinned, his heart was at ease, as if he had filled honey. In his opinion, the most important thing in this world is to return to his hometown, support his mother and raise his children.

…………

Cao Duan received secret reports from the rebel army and became more worried.

In his opinion, this must be the trick of the Tang Dynasty, and he hated the stupidity of his soldiers.

But... at this time he had no choice but to use these rumors.

Because at this time, if you restrain the soldiers harshly, it will inevitably arouse the soldiers' disgust.

If the soldiers are constantly reminded to continue to be strictly guarded, the soldiers will think that the Tang Dynasty has already received an olive branch, but they insist on being enemies with the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, the responsibility for this war lies with Gaochang.

No one is willing to fight, Cao Duan has a clear understanding of this. In fact, he knows more than anyone else what the soldiers are thinking now, and this... is a huge hidden danger for Cao Duan.

At this time, Cao Duan did not dare to make a decision and immediately reported to Gaochang Wang Ting.

What's scary is that these rumors have long been passed from Jincheng to the entire Gaochang State, four counties and thirteen counties, and there are rumors about such rumors everywhere.

A few days later, Cao Yang was guarding the city.

However, dozens of cavalry guarded a four-wheeled carriage, which was carrying the flag of the Shuofang County Prince.

A captain shouted: "Beware, beware..."

But the alert voice was quickly drowned out by the cheers.

Because...Hexi finally sent an envoy.

The cheers all over the city seemed to bring news of triumph.

The soldiers gathered under the city gate, wanting to open the city gate and welcome the carriage and horse into the city.

Of course, the lieutenant guarding the gate did not dare to open the city gate at will, and he was busy with people to guard it.

Countless people are looking forward to it.

Until Cao Duan had to bring a team of men, he looked at the countless eagerly anticipated soldiers on the city tower, and finally gritted his teeth: "Let them enter the city."

The knights from Hexi escorted the carriage and horses into Jincheng.

Under the attention of countless people, people came down from the carriage, and the person who came was Cui Zhizheng.

Cui Zhizheng also saw a ghost.

He never thought that Chen Zhengtai asked him to be the envoy.

Although he knew that Gaochang State still believed in the rule of fighting between the two armies and not killing them.

But I... came to persuade me to surrender.

He got off the car with a smile, greeted Cao Duan, and praised: "I, Cui Zhizheng, comes from the Cui family in Qinghe, and now represents His Highness Shuofang Prince. He comes to discuss peace. Now he passes through Jincheng and asks Jincheng to provide some convenience. We stay here for a night and continue to set out tomorrow to go to Gaochang King City."

Peace negotiation...peace negotiation is coming.

Cao Yang felt that his heart was about to jump out.

He even felt that it would not take long for him to pack his bags and return home.

He looked at Cui Zhizheng curiously.

Someone whispered in his ear: "Do you know the Cui family in Qinghe? The first sect in the Central Plains, whose family head is comparable to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty actually sent such a person, which was obviously sincere to discuss peace."

The name of the Cui family in Qinghe is well known.

Even in Gaochang, anyone with some knowledge will hear it slightly.

Cao Duan looked at the cheerful soldiers and showed no expression on his face, but he still got off the horse obediently: "Since that's the case, I'll ask Mr. Cui to go to Sima's Mansion to rest for one day. I'll order someone to escort Mr. Cui to set off tomorrow."

"It's so good." Cui Zhi smiled. He looked at the Gaochang Kingdom and then couldn't help but sigh: "Looking back to the beginning, this place was owned by the Han Dynasty and the Anxi Protectorate's Office, I just didn't think, ah... For hundreds of years, China has been devastated and the Central Plains creatures have been miserable. Isn't this the same thing in Gaochang?"

Looking at these lands, Cui Zhizheng seemed to see countless cottons.

Then I thought of the money I could pick up by bent over the ground.

He cried, Feng Shui treasure land, for this, I, Cui Zhizheng, have to take the risk to come here.

But after hearing his words, Gaochang's soldiers couldn't help but lower their heads. These words resonated with each other. China fell, and Gaochang was also shaking. How many times did they turn the tide? It was only after their ancestors held on for generations.
