Two days later, Li Changjie woke up in the Thang Long Mansion.

I have to say that his luck was not bad, at least he was not trampled to death by a horse's hooves of his mount.

Uh......, or is it slightly better to fall off your horse and die like this? That way, at least you don't have to worry about losing the war.

As a commander-in-chief, since he is still alive, he can only do his best to fight for the last hope of taking the illusory.

"What's the situation with the Northern Thief now?" Li Changjie, who was pale, asked faintly.

One of the guards replied: "They destroyed the sailors with artillery and are still building ships on the north shore." ”

"The Sailor is finished?" Li Changjie asked in surprise.

"Yes, Taifu, the sailor is finished......

"How many ships have the Northern Thieves built?" The fait accompli is powerless to change, and Li Changjie can only continue to ask.

"I don't know ......."

"Don't know? The northern thieves are building ships by the river, and you dare to say that you don't know? Li Changjie said angrily: "Go and check!" ”

"But ......, but there is a heavenly demon watching on the shore, people say that the heavenly demon can take away the soul, Taifu, your golden body has fallen off the horse, how dare we show our faces in front of the heavenly demon......

Before the invasion of the Great Zhou last year, Li Changjie once offered incense in the Huanglong Temple, and the host of the temple at that time once announced that Li Changjie had a golden body and was invincible.

This incident was once hyped up to boost the morale of the Vietnamese army, but now that the golden body is broken, the benefits obtained through superstition have now had to be repaid twice.

"Taifu, let's come down, we can't win...... The guard lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "The Han people can use the Heavenly Demons, and the boys below are frightened, many people have fled from each battalion in the past few days, and they can't stop, even the officers have fled a lot, and this battle can't ......be fought at all." ”

"Someone." Li Changjie didn't seem to hear his chatter, did his best to raise his voice, called the other guards, and then ordered: "Drag out this traitor who messes with our army's heart and behead him." ”

The Taifu of Da Yue still has some authority, the guards did not dare to face the Chinese army, but they were still not merciless in killing their own people, and before the frustrated guards had time to beg for mercy, the others pounced on him and held him down, dragged him out of the door and beheaded him directly.

There was a scream outside the door, and the blood-glittering head was placed on a tray and brought back.

"Send a team of overseers, kill all the deserters, one person escapes and kills another, one team escapes one team, and if all the people in one battalion escape, kill one battalion of people!"

Li Changjie is out of the way, anyway, he will definitely not get a good end if he falls into the hands of the Chinese army, so it is better to do his best to fight to the death!

"Pass my commander's order, summon Zong Tan, Li Hongzhen, and Li Changwen's subordinates, and immediately move closer to this commander."

After figuring it out, Li Changjie seemed to have recovered some of his spirits, he half leaned on the bed, and coldly ordered:

"Tell them that Ben Shuai is going to fight the Northern Thieves in Shenglong Mansion!"

The Phu Liang River stretched for thousands of miles, and the 150,000 Vietnamese troops could only defend separately.

And the Vietnamese army is not completely defenseless in the direction of the sea, after all, the Chinese navy landed once last year, and they are still blocking the coast of Da Viet, and seriously sinking any ships that want to enter and leave the port of Da Viet.

As a matter of fact, Li Hongzhen's unit, which is located close to the sea, is a unit used to defend the coast.

But now it seems that there is no need, the Huaxia Army is gathered on the north bank of the Fuliang River directly facing Thang Long Province, and they seem to have no intention of crossing the river by detouring at all, just looking like they will directly take the shortest route to attack Thang Long Province.

Since this is the case, then Li Changjie doesn't mind taking a gamble, shrinking the defense line, concentrating all the soldiers and horses near Thang Long Mansion, and striving to take advantage of the advantage of troops to make a last stand.

……

When you think things are already bad and can't get worse, things usually really get worse.

After the Dayue monarchs and ministers were desperate to learn that Li Changjie fell from his horse and fell into a coma, and most of the front-line troops fled, some people had already begun to suggest that the little emperor and the Empress Dowager Yilan give up the "southern hunting" of Thang Long Mansion.

At first, the small court really thought it was a good idea, although they didn't know where to flee to avoid the Chinese army, but in any case it was much better than staying in the big target of Thang Long Mansion.

Maybe you can hide until the rainy season comes?

But as soon as the issue of "Southern Hunting" was put on the agenda, Li Changjie woke up, and this powerful Taifu immediately sent pro-troops to clean up anyone who dared to escape, whether it was an ordinary soldier or an important minister of the court, all of them were swordsmen!

What's even worse is that there is news from the south that it is a feud with the Great Yue Kingdom, and the Champa Kingdom, which was subdued by Li Changjie a few years ago, took advantage of the opportunity when the Yue Kingdom was violently beaten by the Chinese army, and sent troops to attack the homeland of the former Champa Kingdom annexed by Li Changjie.

In order to fight against the Chinese army, the elite of the southern defenders have been transferred to the vicinity of the Fuliang River, where there are only some old and weak left, so the Vietnamese army has been defeated again and again, not only losing the territory annexed by Lord Taifu before, but even a lot of land that originally belonged to Dayue was also lost to the Cham people!

Losing a teacher and losing land is a trivial matter, but it is a big deal to cut off the retreat route of the imperial court's southward migration.

The ministers of Jiaozhi could only stay in the Thang Long Mansion, which was already a dead place, and could not go anywhere.

Fortunately, the other leading generals also knew this, and they finally put aside their prejudices at the last moment (which was ostensibly so) and quickly led their troops closer to Thang Long Province.

Therefore, there are still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Da Viet that can be used to make a last stand.

Or, the capital of conditional surrender?

On December 15, several Jiaozhi civil officials, representing the Little Emperor and the Empress Dowager Yilan, with the support of Li Hongzhen, quietly sneaked across the Fuliang River, bringing new negotiation conditions to the Southern Expeditionary Army Headquarters:

1. The Yue Kingdom is willing to be a vassal to China, and only the territory south of the Fuliang River can be retained.

2. Yue Guo is willing to go to the emperor's name, and he is called the king of Waifan County in the same case as Goryeo.

3. Vietnam is willing to compensate for the losses of Chin and Liem prefectures and the military expenses of the Chinese army.

At this point, Yue Guo himself offered a price of 30 million taels of gold, and the envoy made it clear that if it was not enough, the indemnity could continue to increase, and Yue Guo could use the clan and noble ladies to offset the account.

The Jiaozhi people even opened a list of 30,000 people, including all princesses, princesses, county lords, county lords, wives and concubines of nobles at all levels, as well as all palace maids and women with beautiful folk feelings.

In other words, the Yue Kingdom is willing to hand over all the noble ladies and women of the people except for the Empress Dowager Yilan and the Empress of the Main Palace of the Little Emperor Li Qiande.

After that, there was Article 4: Jiaozhi paid tribute to China every year, and Article 5: Jiaozhi people were willing to hand over the traitor Li Changjie.

To tell the truth, seeing this peace condition, Feng Sanhu himself was still a little moved-this is not much different from direct annihilation.

It's a pity that although he is the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Feng Sanhu really does not have the right to negotiate peace, and he does not even have the right to hand over the envoy to Honglu Temple.

The orders given to him by the Cabinet of Ministers and the General Staff were simple and straightforward:

Destroy its country, and destroy its worship!

Other than that, nothing to talk about!
