Chapter 581: The End of the Road (11)

Du Zhongbo was lying on the bed, looking at the roof with blank eyes, looking in a daze, just like this, he had been for several hours, after he finished saying those words with Hammererzi, Du Zhongbo out of temptation, and after an hour, let the entourage go out of the city and return to the camp of Jamber, but as a result, the entourage did not say that he went out of the city, and even Hammererzi's residence could not get out, Du Zhongbo knew that everything was over, and Jamber was completely finished.

Looking back on his life in the past few decades, he was carefree when he was a teenager, a wealthy family, a leisurely living environment, almost no need to work for anything, and he lived this life so comfortably, in fact, it was very good, this has always been Du Zhongbo's thoughts when he was young, until he became an adult, because of the dreams of his ancestors, Du Zhongbo went to Han and went to Fengjing, the capital of the Jin Dynasty, where he witnessed the Jin Dynasty from decline to revival. This common goal, go forward and one after another, heroic struggle, and finally the decline, fell into the brink of extinction of the empire to pull back, in this environment Du Zhong Bo, was deeply shocked, he thought of his motherland, has been ruled by foreign people, enslaved, once the Western Regions, but also had a brilliant, strong and unified, rich land, vast land, tens of millions of people, why can't it move towards revival and strong?

It was during this period that Du Zhongbo began to have his own ambitions and ideals, although this was only a budding beginning, but it also greatly changed Du Zhongbo, he began to work hard to learn Han culture, the art of war, strategy, ten years later, Du Zhongbo returned to the Western Regions, began to look for a goal, a goal that can be completed together, and finally, Du Zhongbo met Zhan Bai, who also has lofty ideals and ambitions, two people with the same goal, came together.

But at that time, in the Western Regions, the hearts of the people were not aligned, and there was the pressure of the Dashi Empire above, even if Du Zhongbo and Zhan Bai had great ideals and ambitions, there was no room for them to display, they could only secretly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to appear.

The Dashi Empire and the Lunar Eclipse Empire, nearly a hundred years, frequent wars, and long-term military conflicts have made the two countries spend a lot of material resources and manpower, and the final result is that in the continuous war, the national strength of the two countries has begun to decline, especially the Lunar Eclipse Empire, large-scale popular riots broke out in the country, and the Dashi Empire has been ready to concentrate its forces and take the opportunity to destroy the Lunar Eclipse Empire.

But at this time, the first Longyou War broke out, the Dashi Empire was defeated, and fully withdrew from the land of Longyou, the Jin Dynasty recaptured the land of Longyou Seven Prefectures after nearly a hundred years, with the military power of the Jin Dynasty entering the western part of Longyou, the Dashi Empire did not know whether the Jin Dynasty would take the opportunity to attack the Western Regions next, out of this concern, the Dashi Empire could only urgently transfer troops from the country into the Western Regions to strengthen the military strength of the Western Regions, so that the strength of the Dashi Empire to conquer the Lunar Eclipse Empire was weakened, and the final result, Still didn't eat the Lunar Eclipse Empire, the people worked hard, the people complained, the domestic situation began to get out of control, the poverty of national strength led to the exploitation of the Western Regions by the Dashi Empire, more and more heavy and violent, this burden was shamelessly transferred to the bottom by the high-level people of the Western Regions, and the people at the bottom of the Western Regions were overwhelmed, resentful, and dissatisfied, and had accumulated to the limit.

Zhan Bai took advantage of the emotions of the people in the Western Regions, bypassed the high-level of the Western Regions, and launched a surprise attack, so that the Dashi Empire deeply understood a truth, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, sheep also have teeth, and rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry.

Du Zhongbo planned for Zhan Bai and succeeded step by step, but the situation is like a chess game, the situation changes, it is not something that can be speculated by manpower, the rise of the Persian Empire, Du Zhongbo did not expect it, Li Xun's decisive dispatch of troops, Du Zhongbo also did not expect it.

Du Zhongbo got up from the bed suddenly, his expression was sometimes melancholy, sometimes angry, and finally he just sighed deeply, closed his eyes in pain, and lay down weakly again.

Du Zhongbo suddenly felt that he was ridiculous, thinking that he was resourceful and fearless, that he would be able to succeed, that he could see through everything, that he could master everything, but he couldn't even see through the most basic human nature.

After achieving a huge military victory and mastering huge power, the once introverted, low-key, and humble Zhan Bai is gone, Zhan Bai is like a nouveau riche who became rich overnight, and began to become arrogant, conceited, and even empty-eyed, he excluded and suppressed Chen Tu, Du Zhongbo dissuaded, he sent troops to the Dashi Empire, Du Zhongbo dissuaded, he intended to attack Longyou, Du Zhongbo dissuaded, his compromise with the nobles of the Western Regions, Du Zhongbo also discouraged, our goal is to unify the entire Western Regions, To build a strong and unified empire, the will of the people is yours, the military power is here, the time, place, people are all here, what else do you have to fear and compromise?

The change of Zhan Bai made Du Zhongbo extremely disappointed, he thought about leaving, but he was not reconciled, because he was one step away from the success of his ideals and ambitions, but it was such a small step, it was so far away.

Mo Yi is indeed very accurate, the current Zhan Bai, has lost everything, his last 60,000 troops, 10,000 soldiers stationed in Lin City, the remaining 50,000 soldiers are all attacking Qi City, this offensive, at the beginning was very violent, but with the news of Zhan Heng's annihilation, the last 30,000 elites of the Qianguo were destroyed, Ma Had led an army of 50,000 to besiege Suye City, in the face of such a situation, the attitude of the countries of the Western Regions was very cold, as if they didn't care about Zhan Bai's life or death, a series of devastating news, The emotions of the soldiers under Zhan Bai completely collapsed, and the atmosphere of despair spread in the army, except for the fierce attack on Qicheng in the first two days, and the subsequent offensive began to become more and more powerless, this powerlessness is not decided by Zhan Bai himself, but the morale of the army has been chaotic, the morale is completely gone, the soldiers have despair of the prospects, where do they still have the strength to fight with others?

In fact, Zhan Bai now has less than 20,000 troops in his hands, and the losses in attacking Qicheng are indeed very large, but the total number of dead is less than 10,000, 60,000 minus 10,000, there should be 50,000, but Zhan Bai only has less than 20,000 soldiers left in his hands, where did the 30,000 soldiers go? Ran away, there have been large-scale deserters in Zhan Bai's army, Zhan Bai was still barely controlling it at first, but with the 10,000 soldiers stationed in Lin City, abandoning the city and fleeing, the last grain and grass logistics materials in the city are all gone, the news came, the soldiers in Zhan Bai's military camp fled, it was out of control, Zhan Bai couldn't stop it, and he couldn't stop it, because this kind of escape, not just ordinary soldiers, the eight senior generals in his hands, now there is no one left.

Desperate, Zhan Bai finally found Du Zhongbo and let him enter Qicheng, hoping to exchange all the land west of the Western Regions for peace with Hammererqi, which is an extremely dangerous thing, but Du Zhongbo still chose to agree, he doesn't care, because this is the last thing he did for Zhan Bai.
