And as the middle-aged man stood still, the uniform steps also sounded, and nearly a hundred black figures stood still in the dark, which were also sergeants in armor, each of them with a solemn face.

It is clear that this is a team of guards.

Moreover, it can be seen from the armor on their bodies that they belong to Great Xia.

"Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, receive the holy decree into the Southern Regions, and open the city gate quickly!" a high-pitched voice sounded in the night, interrupting the long-roaring horn in the Han Ape Tribe.

"How could the Book of Rites come?" On the tower of the Han Ape Tribe, a head poked out, looking at the team of nearly 100 people below, a little surprised and a little puzzled.

"The Holy Purpose is here, and the city gates are not yet opened!"

"It's really a holy decree, hurry up and report the punishment!"

......

For the soldiers of Great Xia, although they won the battle of the Han Ape Tribe, in fact, they were also under siege.

Dingshan Pass was captured by the Southern Regions, and the tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the pass were all captured, plus the crown prince Lin Tianrong was trapped, which is equivalent to the current army of the Han Ape tribe is almost in an isolated state.

At least, in a short period of time, the Great Xia Dynasty was simply unable to send additional soldiers to the rescue.

So......

For the 40,000 soldiers who survived at this moment, there were only two choices, one was to defend the Han Ape tribe and wait for reinforcements to arrive, and the other was to become a sharp knife that plunged directly into the heart of the Southern Regions as planned.

On the face of it.

The first should be considered a good choice, it can save the army, and the cold ape tribe also has enough food and grass to support a lot of time.

However, if you are smart enough, you will not think so.

What is the Han Ape Tribe?

In addition to the Holy Mountain City, one of the six tribes of the Southern Regions!

To put it bluntly, this is a foreign country, and to put it bluntly, this is a place where you can walk down the street and be stabbed at any time.

Great Xia used 40,000 soldiers to control the control of the Han Ape Tribe, but that was just control, and it was almost impossible to really hold the Han Ape Tribe.

After all, it was impossible for the people here to cooperate with the Great Xia soldiers to defend the city, and even destroy and block them when the Southern Regions marched in large numbers.

One more point......

It's the season and the weather.

Winter is getting closer and closer, and the sergeants of Daxia have not prepared cotton clothes for the winter, and if this battle continues to drag on, they will freeze to death if they do not starve to death.

Robbery?

This is a good idea, but if you really want to do this, you don't need a holy decree, and Xingyuan Kingdom will be the first to stand up and cut down this robbing sergeant.

Then there is only a second way.

Become a sharp knife, a sharp knife that pierces the Holy Mountain City.

40,000 sergeants are indeed not a strong army, but if you add the dragon guards and the mountain breaking army, there will be enough opportunities.

Of course......

This opportunity must be based on a surprise attack.

In other words, it must be fast, before the news of the defeat of the Han Ape Tribe has been learned on the side of the Holy Mountain City, and before the Holy Mountain City has not been fully garrisoned.

With lightning speed, he attacked the Holy Mountain City.

In one fell swoop, he took the royal city in the Southern Regions, thus winning the final victory of this war.

In fact, this plan was the original plan of the Holy Lord, of course, 100,000 soldiers were a disguise, and the martial test was also a disguise, but for Great Xia to really send hundreds of thousands of troops, or even millions of troops, to attack the Southern Regions on a large scale......

That's unlikely.

Leaving aside the cost and loss of this war, the terrain of the Southern Regions alone is almost the biggest variable in this war, just like if you throw tens of thousands of lions that dominate the grassland into the forest.

If nothing else, getting lost is enough.

If you are not familiar with the terrain, logistics and supply will naturally become a problem, and the southern region itself is a dangerous place full of fierce beasts, and this battle will become a long-term battle nine times out of ten.

The Southern Regions can afford it.

However, Great Xia could not afford to spend it, and even if Great Xia's treasury was abundant, it would not be possible to do such an almost predictable attrition.

Therefore, this war could not have been a real state-to-state war from the beginning.

If the plan is carried out normally, the final decisive point of the martial arts test will naturally be in the Han Ape Tribe, and when the time comes, the prince will lead the army to congratulate again, and the 100,000 army will gather in the Han Ape Tribe.

While everyone's eyes were focused on the Han Ape Tribe's martial arts test, he reversed the head of the spear, came out from the Han Ape Tribe, and stabbed straight into the Holy Mountain City with a sharp knife!

No help?

This is a helpless operation!

And just in case, the Holy Lord Lin Mubai handed over the most elite dragon guard to Nangong Hao, and hid the mountain-breaking army among the 100,000 soldiers, all in preparation for the final "stab".

Pity......

As he wished, Fang Zhengzhi led an army of nearly 50,000 to kill the Han Ape Tribe, and moreover, he also broke through the Wind Valley in one fell swoop, and stirred up the predicament under Nangong Haobu.

In the end, Nangong Hao had to appear alone......

After that, it was the current situation.

Such a move seems to disrupt the overall situation, but from another point of view, it is actually equivalent to a dangerous move and a godsend.

After all, from the perspective of the Southern Regions, it is naturally impossible for the Han Ape Tribe to lose this war with a huge disparity in strength, so if they can take advantage of the night to fall out of the city......

40,000 soldiers, stabbing the Holy Mountain City in one fell swoop!

Then this battle can be decided!

"No, our army won a victory in the Han Ape Tribe, now is the best time for peace talks, our Great Xia and the Southern Regions have a friendly relationship for hundreds of years, we must not be ruined like this, salute first and then soldiers, our Great Xia is a big country of etiquette, how can we not even understand this truth?"

Of course, considering the face of the Yuanguo, after thinking about it, the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites added: "This is the meaning of the saint, and the punishment can't help but listen!"

Quiescence.

In the huge stone house, apart from the flickering firelight, there was silence, an almost deathly silence, and no one expected that the Ministry of Rites would appear in the Southern Regions at this time.

Moreover, he still has the will of God in his hands.

"Lord Shangshu, if the Southern Regions really want to negotiate peace with our army, it is impossible to capture Dingshan Pass, besiege His Royal Highness the Prince, and send troops to besiege and kill us, so ......" Xing Qingsui spoke at this time.

"Qing Sui, you are still young, what you see is only the surface, you said that the Southern Regions captured the Dingshan Pass, but did they kill anyone? No, the 50,000 soldiers did not kill a single person, you look at the Southern Regions besieging His Royal Highness the Prince, yes, it is surrounded, but do you really think that the tens of thousands of soldiers in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can stop the army of the Southern Regions?"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu shook his head slightly, and then continued: "This official feels that this is actually a signal from the Southern Regions to us in Great Xia, surround but not kill, this is the meaning of wanting to make peace, as long as we are willing to talk, willing to talk sincerely, this matter will definitely be reconciled, in the final analysis, it is just a good word." ”

"How does Master Shangshu want to talk about it?" Xing Yuanguo frowned slightly when he heard this, and shook his head towards Xing Qingsui again.

"What the Southern Regions ask for is just the word freedom, we can first agree to their conditions, in order to maintain the relationship between the country and the state, let the Southern Regions and my Great Xia work together, first keep the demon clan out of the door, and then, we will slowly improve the relationship with the Southern Regions, there are many doorways in this, such as the harmony recorded in the "Taoist Classics", you can use it, find a good princess, marry to the Southern Regions, in this way, the relationship between the country and the state will be more stable!" When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard Xing Yuanguo's words, he immediately expressed his opinion, and his tone was slightly meaningful.

"Father, now is the time for Qianjun to take a chance, if you miss tonight, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity?

"Qing Sui, you are the future heir of the Zhenguo Mansion, and it is normal to have your own opinions, but how can you be sure that the Holy Mountain City will be defenseless now? If you lead the army to attack, once you enter the trap again, how can you win?"

"This ......" Xing Qingsui's face changed slightly, just as the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said, no one can guarantee that the Holy Mountain City must be defenseless now.

However, how can it be completely judged when marching to war?

For war.

After all, the war is changing rapidly, and only by fighting and grabbing can it be possible to achieve miraculous results.

"Lord Shangshu is indeed reasonable, however, when the army is marching and fighting, we only look at the timing, and only follow the orders of the lord, although Lord Shangshu brought the will of the saint over, but starting from Yanjing City and then to the Southern Regions, I am afraid that there has been a lot of delay in the middle, so you should understand the reason that the military order is not subject to the general?" At this time, a voice also spoke.

This voice came from behind Nangong Hao, but it was not the voice of Nangong Hao, but the voice of a middle-aged man behind him.

He is the first dragon envoy of the Dragon Guard!

Named, Clear!

Although he obeyed the orders of the saint, he also had his own arrogance, because he was a disciple of the Thirteen Mansions, and he had the same strategic vision as Xing Qingsui.

The face of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu changed at this time, and at the same time, his eyes also looked at Yan Qing, the Dragon Envoy, especially the first Dragon Envoy, even if he was the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, he was definitely not willing to offend.

But this time was different.

He came with a holy decree and went to the Southern Regions, going through many dangers, just to save the country and the people, and to end this completely unnecessary war.

Then, even if the other party is the dragon envoy or the first dragon envoy, he also dares to offend.

"Lord Yan, even if you are the first dragon envoy, are you really ready for the charge of disobeying the holy decree?" (To be continued.) )
