When the first negotiation failed, Gu Yun attacked the surrendered Western Regions disabled barracks overnight with 300 Heavy Armor units the next day. Explosions painted the sky red. He artificially completed the main content of the second requirement of the contract for them, declared publicly that it was alright whether or not they agreed to the other two, and immediately led people to slaughter the city.

Slaughtering was harmful to heaven's good will. Generally, only the Northern Barbarians did this. There was seldom such a custom in the Great Liang Army. However, people in the Western Regions worried that Gu Yun despised them for the bombing, they suspected that he could do anything. At first, they remained stubborn. But when Gu Yun ordered people to open the gate, the representatives of the coalition forces on the negotiating table finally panicked.

After several bargainings failed, three days later, the ‘Lou Lan New Treaty’ was signed. Under the deterrence of Gu Yun's heavy forces, these countries first cleared out their war equipment at the fastest speed, then painfully gathered the Ziliujin that had not been used in a year after excavation.

At the end of May, Gu Yun and Shen Yi secretly escorted Ziliujin back to the capital from the Western Regions.

A heavy rain washed the streets and lanes of the capital, and fragmented locust blossoms fell all over the streets.

The reform of the official system was so popular that the chaos that everyone imagined would appear miraculously did not come.

First of all, noble families were not foolish. Even if they were dissatisfied with Yan Wang's changing ways of digging money from their pockets, they knew that compared with themselves, the poor students, who came from imperial examinations and could not collect a couple or a few pieces of silver even if they searched all over their bodies, hated this policy most. There was no way they would step forward for the sake of others. So, at first, all these people hid and prepared to watch the play.

Unexpectedly, this was also truly strange, except for a few stubborn old Confucians who stood up and said a few words of ‘undignified’ or ‘disrespectful’ among other things, the water surface was peaceful, even a droplet did not turn up in the middle of the court.

Chang Geng first wrote a paper to persuade the Emperor and presented his longer-term vision of the Feng Huo ticket to Li Feng. He wrote everything from top to bottom in detail, skillfully concealing and exaggerating it at the same time.
