On August 14, Kutuzov and others fled back to Paris in a panic. They no longer had the kind of ambition they had before, and only had deep fear. But at the same time, after statistics, 400,000 people who went to war actually fled back 320,000, which means that under the fierce attack of the Iberian army, they only lost 80,000 people, even lower than this number. They were still very grateful for this, and at the same time they were a little unbelievable.

"Where is the Iberian army attacking now? How far is it from Paris?" Kutuzov asked decadently.

"It's very strange that they all retreated to Orleans and did not march towards Paris." Grand Duke Charlie replied. He was also very suspicious of the authenticity of this information. Logically speaking, the Iberian army would not give up this good opportunity.

"How could this happen? This doesn't fit Andrecy's personality at all?" Wellington also said. When he was in Iberia, Xiao Jie's tactic of killing everything left a deep impression on him.

"Maybe they don't want us to go to war in full swing. In Orleans, they are just trying to protect their current interests from being violated by us." Clausewitz guessed.

Kutuzov and the other two looked at Clausewitz suspiciously, not knowing why he had such an idea.

"Although we were defeated in Orleans, I believe Andresey knew that it was impossible to completely eat our 600,000 troops. After all, they only had 300,000 people, and in Orleans, there were only 100,000 people. It is also possible that he was afraid that his strength would be greatly affected after fighting with us. All the 300,000 people on the front line were his elite. If these troops were to be lost, it would be difficult for him to compete with us in the future. So, I guess he showed such a powerful force in Orleans, just to give us a warning, let us not provoke him, and everyone should keep the status quo." Clausewitz analyzed.

"Are he willing to occupy only central and southern France, abandon northern France, and abandon Paris?" Grand Duke Charlie raised his question. You should know that France's economic center is mostly concentrated in northern France. Even if Xiao Jie occupied central and southern France, the benefits he gained were not as good as those he gained in northern France.

"No, it is said that he is a very greedy person and will never give up in northern France." Wellington said.

Clausewitz nodded in agreement: "Yes, he will definitely not give up on northern France. He will definitely continue to march north, but it is not now."

"That means that sooner or later we will have a battle. It's better to fight now than to drag the war to the future." Kutuzov said with a frown.

"But if we start a full-scale war with Iberia now, we have no chance of winning. Iberia will avoid the expansion of the war because we are afraid of being unable to bear the huge losses of the war." Clausewitz replied with a wry smile. They have almost gathered the power of the entire Europe, but are forced by a country like Iberia that cannot fight back. It is really ridiculous.

"What should we do? Will we just waste it like this? This is impossible. Since the war started for so long, our investment has been too great and we can no longer support it." Kutuzov said in a deep voice. He had just received Alexander's order to find a way to end the war as soon as possible, and Russia could no longer hold on. But one thing he must pay attention to is that Russia's due interests in this war must be guaranteed.

Similarly, Clausewitz also received the same order, before Kutuzov in time. Among the four major powers, Prussia was undoubtedly the weakest. Until now, not only had the army lost all its losses, but its economy was also on the verge of collapse. The previous stage of the war was almost carried out in the territory of Prussia, which caused Prussia to suffer great trauma. King Friedrich William III of Prussia urgently hoped to end this war as soon as possible so that the already dying Prussia kingdom had precious breathing time.

"The war is so old, it's time to end." Clausewitz said with a sigh.

Kutuzov expressed unconditional support for his view. Grand Duke Charlie and Wellington looked at each other and finally agreed. Austria and Britain suffered more losses in the war than Russia and Prussia, so they both hoped that the war would be underway for a period of time and try to weaken the strength of Russia and Prussia. Although everyone is still an allies now, it is time to start thinking about the future.

"What should we do? Send people to ask the Iberians to negotiate and end the war?" said Grand Duke Charlie.

"No need to ask them for help. I think they will mean this. As long as we send a special envoy to a brief statement of what we want to have a peace talk, they will definitely respond positively." Clausewitz said with a smile. The war is about to end and his mood is getting better.

Grand Duke Chali said nothing anymore. He is now considering the interests of Austria during the peace talks. The other people basically have this idea. The war is about to end, and it is time to distribute the fruits of victory. However, due to Xiao Jie's thrust, their fruits have become much smaller.

"What should you think about this matter? Should we agree to them for negotiation?" After sending off the special envoy of the anti-French alliance, Xiao Jie found all his subordinates.

"Although we have only participated in the war for one month, we have achieved great benefits. If we continue, we may achieve greater results, but the losses we have paid will definitely be much greater. I think the war should be over to this point." Eck said first. He knew Xiao Jie's current thoughts, so he catered to him.

"But it's a pity. Although they have 600,000 people, we can definitely kill them all, but the losses may be a bit large." Dugor said with some disappointment. It was a bit unsatisfactory to encounter such a large-scale war, and it was a bit unsatisfactory to end it like this.

"His Royal Highness, aren't you going to ask for northern France and Paris?" Misend asked at Xiao Jie. He knew that Xiao Jie would never be satisfied with occupying central and southern France.

"Haha, of course. I can tell you clearly that it won't take long to be ours in northern France." Xiao Jie did not hide his ambitions at all.

"But our anti-French alliance in northern France will definitely not agree. Also, since peace talks are held, a treaty will definitely be signed." Misen said with some concern.

"What if I don't agree? At worst, I can fight again. As for the treaty, I believe he will not be much harder than a woman's hymen." Xiao Jie said with a playful smile.

"Then why don't we start a war with them now? Just a battle is a matter of success, which is so easy to deal with?" Dugor complained. In his opinion, under the fierce attack of the Iberian army, it is only a matter of time before the failure of the anti-French alliance will be possible. Why make things so complicated?

Xiao Jie smiled and said nothing, but looked at Ek and Misend, believing that they must be very clear about his intentions.

Sure enough, Ek explained in vain for Dugol: "Although the strength of the anti-French alliance is not as strong as before, they still have 600,000 troops left, and we still have to pay a great price to kill them. The Crown Prince's intention is to take us down northern France at the lowest price. After the negotiations, the anti-French alliance's army will definitely withdraw from the country, and may not be withdrawn, but those who stay in northern France will definitely be much less than those now, and then we will be much less difficult."

"But they can send troops from the country to reinforce? At that time, we will still face so many troops, even more than now?" Dugor asked.

Misend said with a smile: "The anti-French alliance has lost millions of troops in the war with Napoleon, and its national strength has also been greatly lost. In a short period of time, they will definitely not be able to send troops to fight with us. When they recover their strength, we will basically digest France almost. Will we still be afraid of them at that time?"

Dugor then understood and sighed a little. His young crown prince was really far-reaching, but he was just a little despicable.

Kutuzov and Clausewitz were very happy about the goodwill information that Xiao Jie responded, and sent the news back to the country and sent someone to ask Xiao Jie to send people to participate in the preparations before the formal negotiation. After everyone's discussion, the venue of the negotiation was set in Paris, and the participants also determined that leaders and foreign ministers of various countries will participate in the negotiation. Similarly, in order to ensure that Xiao Jie participates in the security issues during the negotiation process again, Iberia will be the first to do so.

The party asked the 1st Division of the 88th Legion to enter Paris and leave after the peace talks. But Kutuzov and others felt that the combat effectiveness of the 88th Legion was so strong that it was easy to ask for gods and it would be difficult to send them to gods. If the 1st Division of the 88th Legion did not leave in Paris, it would be troublesome. After bargaining, an agreement was finally reached. During the peace talks, representatives of the countries participating in the peace talks would be able to bring a regiment of troops into Paris, and all other troops would have to retreat to 50 kilometers away from Paris.
