Thank you Angel Feifei for the two pink votes, thank Mimi and Huahua for the pink votes, and thank you for your support and encouragement! ——
"Marshal, this is a secret letter from the flying pigeon."
"Stand down." Marshal Gong took it, and after the person left, he opened the letter and looked at it, and his face turned pale in the next second, and anger surged on his face.
"Big brother, what did you say above?" Marshal Gong's tenth brother asked.
"The emperor asked us to withdraw the army."
"What kind of retreat, it's all up to this, why should we retreat."
Marshal Gong was silent, and General Gong immediately said: "Big brother, we are millions of soldiers, and we are afraid of the 200,000 people of the Tang family's army, this retreat, our Gong family~."
Marshal Gong looked at the letter in his hand again, and his face was also not good-looking, "The emperor also let the peace." As he spoke, he showed the letter to General Gong.
"Peace?" General Gong's face was incredible, they had one million people against two hundred thousand, and they actually negotiated peace, this is really going to be peace, and the face of their Gong clan has also been lost.
"Big brother, we can't make peace." General Gong immediately said that once peace is negotiated, it will be their palace family that will retreat, then their palace family will become a joke, how to gain a foothold in the world.
"I don't know that the emperor is becoming more and more dissatisfied with our palace family, if it is really a peace, the next step is when the emperor eradicates the palace family." Marshal Gong frowned, a hundred years ago, their Gong clan and the Fu clan were equally famous, supporting the Eastern Xia Taizu to ascend to the throne and becoming the first family in the Eastern Xia Kingdom, and it was also inherited in the Eastern Xia Kingdom for a hundred years.
Their palace family has been in the world for so many years, and they have only been defeated miserably at the hands of the Tang family's father and son, so now that the Tang family army has returned to the Fu family, the palace family is very willing to defeat the Tang family's army, and they are ashamed of their blood, and they also want to compete with the Fu family.
Now that they have a million men and horses in their hands, it is proper to defeat the Tang family's army. The Gong family has even been thinking about how to destroy the Tang family army and the Fu family. This time, almost all of the palace family came out of the hole, and now they have received the proposal and will of the Dongxia Emperor, and they can imagine in their hearts, as if their blood was poured down by a bucket of cold water.
"Big brother, let's turn it back, otherwise we will just wait for the emperor to destroy us." General Gong said with an unhappy face.
"Tenth brother, shut up." Marshal Gong was taken aback by General Gong's words, and vigilantly paid attention to the movements around him, and after seeing that there was no sound for a long time, he was relieved.
"Big brother. Our Gong clan has no way out, and the two children of the eldest sister may have been made by the emperor. General Gong muttered quietly, very unconvinced, their Gong clan is so powerful, why should they accept filial piety to the Dongxia royal family as a minister all their lives. Even if you are a minister, you still have to be suspicious of the Dongxia royal family, and you are very aggrieved, so it is better to change the dynasty yourself.
What the Great Xia Guowei Chi clan can do, their Gong clan. Why not, they can also be in charge.
"It's impossible, tiger poison doesn't eat children, you don't have to say this again." For this. Marshal Gong is still sure in his heart, after all, he and the Dongxia Emperor also grew up together, although the relationship between the two is not as close as it was when he was a child, and there are many suspicions between the monarch and the minister. But Marshal Gong believed that the Eastern Xia Emperor was not the one who killed his son ruthlessly.
As for the rebellion, Marshal Gong didn't think about it in his heart, if the Eastern Xia Emperor really couldn't tolerate the Gong clan. Their Gong clan will not sit idly by. Like now, Marshal Gong received the news that the Eastern Xia Emperor had issued a decree for them to cease war and negotiate peace, and Marshal Gong was very dissatisfied.
"Big brother~" General Gong only felt very aggrieved.
"Summoning the brothers of the clan to discuss the matter." Marshal Gong said.
General Gong immediately rejoiced: "I'll go now." ”
No one knew what the council of the children of the Gong clan had discussed, but early the next morning, Marshal Gong led a million troops towards Binzhou. Binzhou was lost at the hands of Marshal Gong, which was naturally a knot for the Gong clan, and now what they are doing is not only to recapture Binzhou, but also to defeat the Tang Jun family and the Fu family, and be ashamed.
"Here they are."
"We're not afraid when we come." Baili Yanqing stood on the city wall and looked at the dense army of the Eastern Xia Army, her eyes were shocked, this is a million people.
It's just that at this time, Baili Yanqing is no longer soft-hearted, Emperor Taiping and Mo Yan both sent letters to the Eastern Xia Kingdom, and the Eastern Xia Emperor still hasn't collected his troops, so it's no wonder that they are.
"Kill~" shouted one after another, the city wall was full of ladders, and millions of people and horses were like ants, besieging them.
On Baili Yanqing's side, there were arrows, cannons, and boiling oil and boulders counterattacking, even so, some Dongxia troops still climbed the city wall, and there was a fight on the city wall.
And the artillery of the Eastern Xia army also unceremoniously attacked the city wall, causing the entire city wall to be seriously damaged, the Gong clan really had to destroy the Tang family army this time, and they no longer cared about the people of Binzhou, and the 100,000 soldiers who were captured.
On the battlefield, Baili Yanqing, Yan Yuheng and Tang Bo, and even Baihu, Xuanwu, and Suzaku all went to war, and Dudu, Yangyang, and Feiran all followed Mo Lao and Lin Mozi, and did not come here. The children were too young, and Baili Yanqing didn't want them to see such a tragic scene, so as not to be frightened.
Before the Dongxia army of 600,000 horses, Baili Yanqing did not borrow troops from Mo Yan, but after knowing that this time the Dongxia Kingdom sent a million people, Baili Yanqing also asked Mo Yan for help.
"Suzaku, let Zhu Qing and Zhu Hong pay attention to where the Southern Xia Army is." Baili Yanqing said to Suzaku.
"The door master, I have received the flying pigeon message, the Nanxia army has come, but it will take an hour to get here." Suzaku came back after leaving.
Well, there's still an hour to go, so they can hold on. 200,000 against millions, even the difference in strength is too great, not to mention that the Eastern Summer Palace is not wasted, and even this million people in Mali, there are still ironclad armies, as well as the elites cultivated by the Gong clan.
An hour later, the Southern Xia army arrived in time, and it was still Sun Yi who led the army, and Baili Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Marshal, it's not good, the Southern Xia army has come to support the Tang army."
"What? So fast. Marshal Gong said to General Gong dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you pay attention to the situation over there in Southern Xia, why did you only know when the Southern Xia army arrived." ”、
"Big brother, I really haven't received any news from Nanxia sending troops." General Gong only felt wronged, he not only sent people to pay attention to the situation in Southern Xia, but also paid attention to the Great Xia Kingdom, and indeed did not receive the news of these two countries sending troops, so they did not scruple to call.
"How many people came?" Marshal Gong said calmly.
"Back to Marshal, a total of 300,000 people."
"Haha, 300,000 horses want to deal with our million centaurs, the Southern Xia Emperor is really young and vigorous, big brother, we also have to be afraid, they add up to only 500,000 people, we have twice as many people as them."
"Don't underestimate the enemy, let people keep an eye on the grass and armory." Marshal Gong said, his heart also relaxed, just 300,000 horses, they are not afraid.
But Marshal Gong didn't know that although he only sent 300,000, they were all elite soldiers of the Southern Xia Kingdom, and their names were no less than the iron-blooded guards of the Eastern Xia Ironclad Army.
"Big brother, don't worry, we still have the seventh child, he is potential in Binzhou, and he will definitely be able to find Baili Yanqing's children, and they will still not be obedient when the time comes." General Gong said that they also inquired about Baili Yanqing's situation, and knew that Baili Yanqing had two precious children, so they naturally thought about it.
"Well, I have always been relieved that Lao Qi does things, but we can't just rely on Lao Qi." Marshal Gong looked at the direction of the city wall, his eyes were like torches, he must seize Binzhou before the arrival of the holy decree.
The Eastern Xia Emperor's decree was sent over eight hundred miles in an expedited manner, but it was already too late, and the Eastern Xia Army and the Tang Army were already at war, so there was no way to stop the war immediately.
When the news came back to the Dongxia Kingdom, the Dongxia Emperor was frightened, gritted his teeth and said, "The Gong clan is going to harm me." ”
The early dynasty of the Eastern Xia Kingdom was silent, and the courtiers didn't know what to say at this time, the will of the Eastern Xia Emperor was a step late, and the two armies had already exchanged fire, so it was naturally impossible to stop immediately, so it was no wonder that the Gong clan had not stopped, and the Dongxia Emperor could not hold the Gong clan responsible.
At that moment, the Dongxia Emperor made a decision to bring the holy relic to the battlefield in person, if the Gong clan won, it would naturally be the best, if they didn't win, this holy relic could also be handed over to ensure the safety of the Eastern Xia Kingdom.
Now what the Eastern Xia Emperor is most afraid of is that the Southern Xia Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom will send troops against him, so the Eastern Xia Emperor decided to go out of Beijing despite the opposition of the courtiers.
On the side of the Great Xia Kingdom, Yan Qinghao and the Yu Chi clan were also on fire, as if heaven helped, Yan Qinghao directly killed the palace of the Yuelin Kingdom, preventing the Yu Chi clan from claiming the title of emperor.
In just one month, Yan Qinghao defeated the Wei Chi clan and obtained the Sleeping Fire Lotus, a holy relic of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Yan Qinghao directly handed over the holy relics to Qinglong, asked Qinglong to send them to Baili Yanqing, and quickly escorted the Yuchi clan back to Beijing.
Here in Binzhou, the arrival of the Eastern Xia Emperor prevented this unfinished war, the Eastern Xia lost 400,000 million people, the Tang family army of 200,000 people only left 100,000, and the Southern Xia army was less, only 50,000 people were lost.
At this time, where did the Eastern Xia Emperor still want to fight, this battle, they lost very badly.
When the Emperor of Eastern Xia presented the holy relics, he cut the land and paid compensation, divided Binzhou, and lost a lot of money, which was very distressing.
Baili Yanqing was useless with Binzhou, and Binzhou was the border between the Eastern Xia Kingdom and the Southern Xia Kingdom, so she transferred Binzhou to Mo Yan, and she only took the holy relics and money.
The Dongxia Emperor had a toothache very much, and felt that he had been robbed by the Southern Xia Kingdom and Xisha Island, but he had no choice, and he couldn't fight, and millions of people couldn't win against others, and the Dongxia Emperor also felt very embarrassed.
However, the Eastern Xia Emperor did not deal with the Gong clan, but generously accommodated the mistakes of the Gong clan this time, and was praised by a piece. (To be continued......)
