I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 663 John's Country Wants to Negotiate Peace
"Soldiers, the king of John is still waiting for us to conquer him, waiting for him to submit to the might of the Tang Dynasty..."

As Li Zheng's voice rang out, the morale of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers reached its peak.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Zheng stopped talking and immediately issued an order to launch an attack on John's country.

John's country platinum palace.

As battle reports came in from the front line, the young Queen's mood sunk to the bottom.

"Your Majesty, the Tang army has broken through our John's defense line and gained a foothold. I believe that after they have repaired, they will continue to march towards the capital."

Her Majesty the Queen bowed and Charles' anxious voice sounded.

Davis was also on the list next to him.

The culture of John's country does not have the great core of sacrificing one's life for justice. When the hot air balloon appeared that day, the two men saw that the situation was hopeless and had already sneaked away.

No one thought it was wrong. The lives of the high and mighty nobles were much more noble than those of the soldiers.

Victoria had no objection to the comparison. She was just angry at their incompetence, which almost allowed the Tang army to attack the royal capital.

Now is not the time to pursue the matter. If the Tang army really invades the capital, it will be meaningless even if she kills two people.

Perhaps this is why the Chinese people have always called them barbarians. Their culture lacks too much propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. They are just a group of barbarians united for the sake of profit.

After hearing what Charles said, Victoria's pretty face turned pale and she seemed to have lost her soul.

The other ministers of John State in the hall also showed expressions of horror.

"Humph, we shouldn't have rashly launched a war against the Tang Kingdom."

"Yes, the Tang Kingdom has been entrenched in the ancient East for a long time. It is extremely mysterious. How can it be so easy to conquer it?"

"Now that I have brought disaster upon myself, what should I do?"

"Thinking back to the time when Her Majesty the Queen ruled a stable government."

Victoria originally wanted to increase her prestige and suppress these ministers by conquering the Tang Dynasty, but now she has been hit back by the Tang Dynasty, which has threatened her position.

Victoria had just ascended the throne and her rule was unstable. Now faced with a powerful enemy, these ministers immediately expressed their dissatisfaction with Victoria, and even seemed to be blaming her.

"That's enough. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, instead of thinking about how to repel them, are you planning to rebel?"

Davis on the side suddenly spoke up and shouted at the ministers of John State below.

Now Davis and Her Majesty the Queen are on the same boat.

The ministers below looked at Victoria with a gloomy face and said nothing more.

Davis was right. Now the Tang army was about to attack the royal capital. Among everyone, only Davis and Charles had experience in fighting against the Tang. They were counting on Davis to be able to repel the enemy. Besides, Victoria was the legitimate Queen after all, so it was not a good idea to go too far.

Victoria also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, when the halo of Her Majesty the Queen faded, she was just a young woman of only twenty years old.

But just as the atmosphere in the Platinum Palace was beginning to ease, the guards outside the palace hurriedly delivered a battle report.

Davis stepped forward to take the battle report and slowly opened it under the anxious gazes of everyone.

However, after Davis read the battle report, his face turned visibly pale.

When everyone in the hall saw Davis like this, their hearts sank.

"Your Majesty, the city defense forces have received news that the Tang army is less than ten miles away from the capital, and they will be at the gates of the city in two hours at most."

When Victoria heard this, the last trace of blood on her pretty face disappeared, and her face turned frighteningly pale.

Everyone in the hall was shocked and terrified.

Just half a year ago, John's country was still strong and powerful, with countless people. He dreamed of conquering the Tang Dynasty and steadily moving towards the great goal of becoming the British Empire.

But just half a year later, they were attacked in the capital. It was fate. Victoria was the one who couldn't accept it the most. She just misjudged the strength of the Tang Dynasty and fell to such a state.

"Your Majesty, how about sending an envoy to the Tang army to negotiate peace?"

Just when Victoria was at a loss, the minister below spoke up.

"Yes, peace talks, peace talks!"

Victoria's face flushed with excitement as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

"As long as Tang agrees to negotiate peace, my country of Great John can pay compensation everywhere, as long as Tang can withdraw."

Victoria was so confused that she couldn't care less and spoke quickly.

The other ministers of John Kingdom also had no objection, and now they had no other choice.

"But who should go to negotiate peace?"

Now that the decision to negotiate peace had been made, Minister John pointed out the core issue.

As soon as he finished speaking, Charles, who had been silent all this time, looked at Davis coldly.

Davis let out a strange cry when he noticed Charles' gaze.

"Charles, what do you mean? Do you want the Governor to go there in person?"

The Tang Kingdom's attitude is unclear, and it might kill on the spot anyone who goes to negotiate peace, so it's no wonder that Davis reacted so strongly.

"of course not."

Charles still hoped that even if the talks between the two sides broke down, Davis would be able to resist the Tang Kingdom. After all, John's navy was strong, but there were few capable army generals.

Davis also had great military achievements before facing the Tang Dynasty, otherwise how could he serve as the governor of the Delhi Sultanate.

"Then what do you mean?"

Davis heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and also asked in confusion.

"What about that McDonald under you? He is responsible for the state of John Country.

Davis understood what Charles meant after hearing this.

"This McDonald is a suitable candidate. If she hadn't fallen into the trap of the Tang Kingdom, how could our John Kingdom underestimate the enemy? Moreover, she has met the emperor of the Tang Kingdom. It is indeed feasible for her to negotiate peace with the Tang Kingdom!"

Charles and Davis decided McDonald's fate with just a few words.

Seeing that the two had agreed on the candidate, Victoria on the throne urged them impatiently.

"What about MacDonald? Send him to the Tang Kingdom as soon as possible."

A moment later, the confused McDonald was summoned to the Platinum Palace.

When McDonald arrived, Victoria didn't waste any words.

"McDonald, I am going to send you to the Tang Kingdom as an envoy to negotiate peace. Are you willing?"

McDonald's face changed when he heard this, but when he saw the expressions on the faces of the ministers of John State, they looked as if they would kill him on the spot if he refused.

He could only bite the bullet and say, "I am willing."

There was no way. Even though Her Majesty the Queen asked him a question, he had no right to refuse. If something happened, Tang Guo might not die, but if he refused, he would surely be killed when the time came to settle the score.

Not many people want to die.
