In the twenty-sixth year of Daning Tiancheng, His Majesty created the myth of another ancient city in August.

In the twenty-sixth year of Daning Tiancheng, also in August, the high-ranking officials of the Rilang State who were bribed by the Sabbatarians leaked the location of the camp of the Ningjun Army, bribed the generals of the border army of the Rilang State, opened the gate of the border pass, and the 50,000 Ansheng army surrounded Dewey's camp, and Du Weiming led the army to defend to the death, and sent people to break through the siege to ask for help from the border army of the Rilang State, and the border army of the Rilang State did not move, and the Anshan people besieged it for more than 20 days, and the border army of the Rilang people did not rescue or send food, so that more than 4,000 soldiers of the Ning Army ran out of food.

In desperation, Dewey decided to break through the siege, and the soldiers broke out of the siege, losing more than 2,000 people.

Dewey's body was humiliated, his head cut off, his body dissected, and sent outside the castle of Hiro to be hung on a wooden pole to warn the Nichiro people not to come into contact with the Ninto.

More than 1,000 Daning soldiers who fought out of the siege retreated all the way, and the cities of the Rilang Kingdom did not dare to open the city gate for fear of the retaliation of the resting people, and did not dare to send supplies, the team of more than 1,000 people stumbled and evacuated to the capital of the Rilang Kingdom, and the rest emperor Galoclius sent a letter to the king of Rilang, Ya Zheng, requesting that all the soldiers of the more than 1,000 Ning troops be besieged and killed.

Luo Shan, the prime minister of the Rilang Kingdom, asked the Emperor of the Rilang Kingdom to let the more than 1,000 soldiers enter the city for medical treatment, but the king of the Rilang Kingdom, Ya Zheng, refused, and more than 1,000 soldiers were forced to leave the capital of the Rilang Kingdom, and in the absence of supplies and no support, they traveled thousands of miles, but were besieged by the army of the Rilang Kingdom outside the Sudi City of the Rilang Kingdom, and more than 1,000 people were exhausted and had no food, grass and armor, and finally lost their combat strength because of hunger and were all captured.

Ya Zheng, the king of the Rilang Kingdom, ordered the more than 1,000 soldiers to be handed over to the resting people, and the great prime minister Luo Shan resigned from his official position in anger and was imprisoned at home by Ya Zheng.

The Daning soldiers, who had gone through a lot of hardships, were unable to withdraw from the country of Rilang in the end, and were handed over to the Anxi people by the Rilang people, and all the soldiers were slaughtered by the Anxi people.

East Warm Pavilion.

Shen Leng's hand was trembling, and the back of his hand was full of green muscles.

"Are they afraid of the rest?"

The emperor glanced at Shen Leng: "Are they only afraid of resting people?" ”

Shen Leng's fists clenched even tighter, and he only had the appearance of Dewey's name in his mind.

He knew that he had harmed Dewey's reputation.

He originally thought that leaving Lao Du there would pave the bumpy road for Lao Du's promotion, and allow Lao Du to rise as soon as possible.

"General."

A voice faintly appeared in Shen Leng's mind, as if Lao Du was calling him.

"Actually, I didn't think about what I wanted to do, the general was willing to let me do it, I would go, but I thought, the feudal officials are far less refreshing than following the general, killing the enemy with the general and drinking together, how comfortable it is, I know that the general is for my good, let me stay in Rilang, in the future, I will have a reward when I go back to Daning, I don't care about the reward or anything, I just don't want to live up to the general."

When he left Rilang, Shen Leng remembered every word of Dewey's name clearly.

"I used to think that people should be for themselves, so I made a wrong choice when I first entered the water division, and then after following the general for a long time, I realized that it was so cool to do things for my brothers, shelter my brothers from the wind and rain, and block swords and arrows for my brothers.

"General, don't let me stay on Rilang's side for too long, if I don't have me, Chen Ran won't bully the big man to death."

"General, or I'll knock down the rest? Hahahaha...... I'll take the rest down

If you can go back to Daning, you can't go anywhere as well as Daning, and it's not as good as being by your brothers. ”

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Shen Leng's fists became tighter and tighter.

"Shen Leng!"

The emperor's shout pulled Shen Leng out of his painful thoughts.

"What did I just say?"

Shen Leng shook his head blankly.

"The people of the day are only afraid of the resting people, and they are wrong."

The emperor's eyes were also slightly red: "My more than 4,000 soldiers were slaughtered by them, and the corpses of my generals were bullied by them, and I once gave them good thoughts, but the Rilang people don't know how precious this kind thought is, Shen Leng, let the Rilang people know that Daning is terrible, but don't give them a chance to be afraid in the future." ”

The emperor's hand slapped heavily on the table: "Destroy Riro!" ”

"Yes!"

Shen Leng turned around and strode out of the barracks, this night, the murderous aura was overflowing.

General's Palace.

There was a brazier in front of Shen Leng, a group of pro-soldiers and Chen Ran were all standing behind Shen Leng, Shen Leng knelt down on one knee and lit the paper money in the brazier: "Lao Du, don't be afraid, wait a minute, I'll take you home." ”

With a swipe on the ground, all the pro-soldiers gave a military salute.

Before dawn, the cabinet conveyed His Majesty's will, Shen Leng was the general of the southern expedition, and the soldiers of all the provinces in southern Xinjiang and the water division were all dispatched by Shen Leng, and Shi Yuanxiong, the soldiers of Xishu Dao, immediately went south.

Rarely, Chang'an City opened the south gate before dawn, and the messengers sent out by the military department went all the way south along the official road.

Outside the gate of the General's Mansion, Shen Leng looked back at the tea master: "I may come back a little later this time." ”

The tea master held the hands of the two children one by one and nodded: "Be careful, the children and I are waiting for you to come back." ”

Shen Leng snorted and looked at Xiao Shen Ji: "Protect my mother and sister." ”

Xiao Shen Ji nodded, patted the wooden knife hanging on his belt, and Shen Leng made the wooden knife for him himself.

"I will."

He looked up at his father: "Don't cry father, my stepson has grown up and will go to the battlefield with you." ”

Shen Leng raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Dad is fine, remember to be obedient, Ning'er is well-behaved, you are a little naughty, don't bully your sister." ”

He turned and mounted his horse, and all the soldiers of the pro-barracks mounted their horses.

"Brothers, protect your generals."

The tea master bowed down.

Everyone saluted towards the tea master, Shen Leng rode out on the black mastiff, and the cavalry roared out behind him.

In the middle of March of the twenty-seventh year of Daning Tiancheng, Shen Leng went south.

At the beginning of June of the 27th year of Daning Tiancheng, Shen Leng went to Pingyue Road in southern Xinjiang, Pingyue Road soldiers, Xishu Road soldiers, Xidong Road soldiers, Hujian Road soldiers, a total of four guards soldiers were all dispatched by Shen Leng to control the dispatch, 40,000 soldiers more than 100,000 people, plus auxiliary soldiers totaling more than 200,000.

At the end of June, the Qiu Lishui Division returned north to Pingyue Road, and the huge fleet transported the Four Guards soldiers to Yunhaidao, and Tang Li, who had just been transferred to the general of the Yunhaidao Soldiers, led more than 40,000 new troops to wait in Yunhaidao.

on board the warship.

Zhuang Yong, who was already a little old, looked at Shen Leng with a worried face: "I'm afraid that you can't stand it, I'm afraid that you will do something wrong in a hurry, so I personally mobilized the warship over, Dewey is gone, I know you feel painful, but Leng Zi, this is not only your personal enmity, but also a national enmity, you must be cautious in everything, don't be too aggressive." ”

His eyes were full of concern, since the serious injury, Zhuang Yong's body is not as good as before, this time he personally led the fleet to come all the way to the fatigue, making him look even weaker, but he had to come in person.

He knew what Dewey's death meant to Shen Leng, too

I know what Shen Leng will do.

He couldn't rest assured.

"General."

Shen Leng forced himself to smile, just smiling and looking at where there was any relief.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

He stood beside Zhuang Yong and watched the waves surging in front of him: "Lao Du's hatred, the hatred of more than 4,000 soldiers and brothers, the knife is cutting back and forth in my heart, why did Your Majesty let me come?" Even if it is to attack the country of Rilang, I can mobilize soldiers from the southern frontier, and I was going to go to the East China Sea to train a new army...... Because Your Majesty knows that this revenge can only be avenged by me. ”

His hand grabbed the side of the ship.

"It is my idea to set up the Protectorate of Annam, and it is my decision to keep Lao Du and them in the Rilang Kingdom, Your Majesty is telling me that if you don't come to avenge this revenge, then you are sorry for those soldiers who died in battle, and you are sorry for your own brothers."

Shen Leng's eyes were slightly red.

"General, you know how much I hurt."

Zhuang Yong stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Leng's shoulder: "I know, every soldier knows how painful it is to lose a comrade and lose a brother. ”

Like an old father comforting his son, who is in pain.

"Leng Zi."

Zhuang Yong's hand wrapped his arms around Shen Leng's shoulders very hard.

"You are already a general, you still have to focus on state affairs, I know what you think, but this battle is fought in a hurry, if you rush forward, it is possible to let more comrades die, what you are carrying on your shoulders is no longer the life and death of one person or two people, but the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops, this is the first time you are a general to lead a large army to fight, your words and deeds, your every move, are the will of the army."

"I know."

Shen Leng let out a long breath: "General, I know everything. ”

Zhuang Yong also let out a long breath and shook his head: "Only those who are close to you know how warm you are, how ruthless you are." ”

Ten days later, Yunhai Road.

Yunhai Dao Soldier General Tang Lu is the first female soldier general in Daning, and the military position of Zheng Sanpin is enough to make most people look up, her hatred for what happened in Rilang Country is also very heavy, and her killing intent is also very strong, but when she saw Shen Leng's eyes, she knew that this battle would be even more ruthless than she expected.

"General."

Tang clenched his fists and said, "Do you want to give a war letter to Rilang Kingdom first?" ”

"No, no!"

Shen Leng strode forward: "Are the teams ready?" ”

"It's been ready for a long time."

"Crossing the sea, entering the sun."

Shen Leng stretched out his hand: "Map." ”

The soldiers around him handed the map to Shen Leng, and Shen Leng took the map and boarded the warship: "All the generals from the fourth rank and above to my flagship." ”

Including Shi Yuanxiong and Tang Li, all the generals from the fourth rank and above in this southern expedition were all on Shen Leng's flagship Shenwei, Shen Leng hung the map on the wooden wall, turned around and took a charcoal pen and drew a line on the map.

None of them realized what this zigzag line meant.

"Our people were evacuated according to this line, and all the cities of the Rilang Kingdom on this line refused to open the city gates to accept them, and refused to provide food and grass supplies, and our soldiers guarded the western frontier for the Rilang people, but the Rilang people wanted to exhaust and starve them to death."

Shen Leng's finger pointed heavily on that line: "My original intention was to slaughter the entire Rilang clan, which is terrible and detrimental to Your Majesty's benevolence, so I take a step back, all the cities on this line, do not accept surrender, do not leave a living mouth, attack a place, destroy a place, the city does not accept my brother, I will raze to the ground, no one will die, and the city will not be left." ”

"Whew!"
