In Molan City, it seemed that Lu Mu's roar could be heard in the entire city. Lu Mu, who has always been known for his gentlemanly style, hesitated to go crazy after this defeat. Huo Hai Manzhan and others even pointed at Fang Sicheng and Wang Fujian and scolded non-stop. If it weren't for Mo Kun's restraint, both sides would be able to move.

In the Shuai Mansion, Mo Kun's face was gloomy and silent. Ying Shoushan glared at Fang Sicheng, Wang Fujian, and the others, signaling that they didn't have to respond. It wasn't until Lu Mu vented that Mo Kun began to inquire about the detailed battle situation. After a detailed count, the soldiers and horses of the West Vietnam suffered heavy losses this time. Not to mention that the army's war materials were all left in Xiangxiang County, and more than 90,000 people were injured alone. To Lu Mu's surprise, he didn't expect that Mo Kun's side would actually have more than 40,000 battle losses, not counting Hu Tianzhuang's subordinates who had not returned. No matter how weak Sun Gangchuti's troops are, there will always be some casualties.

Mo Kun looked at Lu Mu, who had calmed down slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Lu, the reason for the defeat in this battle is still insufficient estimates. The old man has experienced countless battles in his life, but he didn't expect to underestimate the courage and tenacity of Duan Lang's department. In this matter, the old man has an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Lu Mu snorted coldly, "Master Mo, nearly half of our army has suffered casualties, can you say that you have no shirk of your responsibility?" That Fang Sicheng Wang Fujian rescue is not good, how to deal with this responsibility. You and I are coalition forces, and we hope that the Mo army division will enforce the law impartially. ”

Mo Kun frowned slightly, "Brother Lu, I understand your mood at the moment, but victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and we should be more sincere and united at this moment." Presumably, after this battle, there were a lot of losses in that section of Lang, and the generals of Xiyue were not without merit. What's more, we still have an advantage in human horses, so why bother with a war. Moreover, Fang Sicheng's Fujian Department suffered heavy losses, which is enough to show that they did their best. If they dare to delay their actions and delay the fighters, their own divisions will not be spared. ”

When Fang Sicheng heard this, he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Master Mingjian, I don't dare to slack off after receiving the order." How could Duan Lang have already been ambushed, and we fought bravely to kill and fight with Zhou Long's subordinates, and the enemy we encountered was actually the elite of Duan Lang's army. That week, Long Zhouhu was hit hard by us, but ~ only to be escaped by them in the end. Lu Dudu, it's not that we deliberately delay the rescue time, the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers is enough to prove that our Nanping army is fighting hard. ”

Wang Fuzhong also knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said, "Master Military Division, General Fang is absolutely not lying, and I hope that Master Military Division will return my innocence." ”

Mo Kun nodded, "Get up, my Nanping soldiers are not a bad breed yet, but the bravery of Duan Lang's department is well known, and I don't blame you for this." ”

Lu Mu secretly gritted his teeth, he knew that Mo Kun was deliberately protecting. Now there are only about 100,000 people left in Xiyue, and it is inconvenient for Lu Mu to be too strong. At this time and at that time, this is not the scene when Mokun went to take refuge with them after the defeat of Kyoto. Although it is nominally a coalition force, it still has to rely on strength to speak. If he really turned his face, Lu Mu could only leave with the remnants of the defeated army.

Seeing that Lu Mu was no longer crazy, Mo Kun waved his hand and asked everyone to go back to the camp, and he wanted to discuss it with Lu Mu alone. The generals retreated, and Lu Mu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Master Mo, can you tell Lu about the details of what happened before the war?" Lu Mu asked.

"It just so happens that there are some things I also want to discuss with Brother Lu. This matter has to start with the news from the scout~! ”

Mo Kun told the scout the news and their detailed plan to send troops to deploy defenses. When Lu Mu heard this, his intestines turned even more angry. Together, you went to block Sun Gangchuti's department, but let Duan Lang's army come over? If Sun Gangchu really went to attack his camp in advance, Lu Mu felt that the whole victory was still on their side. It's good now, Mo Kun went to intercept the weakest side, but gave up the strongest Duan Lang to them.

"Master Mo, this is simply the false and real plan of the Tantai Demon Maiden, deliberately letting the scout reveal the news to you. If it weren't for Hu Tianzhuang leading an army of 80,000 to leave, you wouldn't be unable to stop Duan Lang. Damn, I should have thought of this a long time ago, the scouts in Lidu City are all selective, how can they betray their own people. When I received your notice, I should have sent someone to remind you. Lu Mu said regretfully.

Mo Kun also nodded with a sigh, "It's come to this, it's too late to say anything." The old man also saw the plan of the demon girl clearly after the war ended. They simply used Sun Gangchuti's department as bait to disperse our army to intercept it. And if I don't move, then Sun Gangchuti will still be able to solve the difficulties of Xiangjun according to the plan. This woman's shrewd calculation is really rare in the old husband's life. ”

Lu Mu and Mo Kun both regarded Duan Lang's helpless move as something that Tangtai Mingyue had already planned. They didn't know that Duan Lang's move was actually very dangerous. Once Zhou Long and the others did not block the reinforcements from Nanping, there would be little left of the army of Lidu City even if it was not wiped out. All coincidences are attributed to two words ~ bravery. All the soldiers in Lidu City relied on these two words, sacrificing their lives and death to turn the tide of the war.

Mo Kun and the two discussed it and went back to the camp separately. As soon as he entered the Nanping camp, Ying Shoushan hurriedly walked over.

"How's it going, is the investigation clear?" Mo Kun asked with a gloomy face.

"It's clear that Zhou Long was rescued by someone with a suspicious tactic, and Fang Sicheng is really at fault for being the king of Fujian." Ying Shoushan said silently.

When Mo Kun heard this, he gritted his teeth, "What two fools, they can't be reused." This matter must be kept silent by the officers and men of the army, and no further mention must be made. Call these two fools to my big tent, and the death penalty will be avoided, and the living sin will not be escaped. ”

Mo Kun snorted coldly and walked towards the big tent with anger. Ying Shoushan also sighed secretly, if it weren't for the use of people, Fang Sicheng's mistakes would have been undoubtedly cut off. But now that the Nanping battalion is short of major generals, not to mention that Mo Kun has already covered up his responsibilities for them in front of Lu Mu, and if he deals with it openly, he will be laughed at by the Xiyue soldiers.

Mo Kun angrily reprimanded the two of them in the account, because the employment was imminent, Mo Kun did not beat them with a military stick. However, the two were punished and demoted, which directly belonged to the jurisdiction of Ying Shoushan. Don't look at Ying Shoushan, after sitting on the military commander, the rank is slightly higher than that of Fang Sicheng and Wang Fujian. However, he did not have actual military power in his hands. Now the two are directly under the jurisdiction of Ying Shoushan, which means that Ying Shoushan has the power of life and death over the two of them. In this way, in the Nanping camp, Ying Shoushan was higher than Zhao Pingdu and sat in the second-in-command position of real power.

Mo Kun began to rearrange his troops and horses, shrink the defensive line, and set up a large camp on the side of Xiangjun. As soon as Mo Kun was arranged, Hu Tianzhuang led his troops back to Molan City. Compared with the remnants of the defeated soldiers who came back before, Hu Tianzhuang's troops were imposing, and they really won a battle. In this battle, Hu Tianzhuang led his troops to chase and kill dozens of miles before gathering troops and horses to return to Molan City. Not to mention the fruitful results, at least Hu Tianzhuang's soldiers and horses were lost, only less than 10,000 people. And Sun Gang Chuti's department basically disabled them.

In Molan City, except for Hu Tianzhuang's department, almost all the battalions were lifeless. At this time, it was a different scene outside Xiangjun. The soldiers are accustomed to seeing life and death parting, and for them, there is nothing more than a big victory to make them happy. The captured strategic materials alone were enough to expand two more infantry battalions. What's more, almost all the catapults in Nanping and Xiyue are here, and it can be said that there are now three types of troops missing in the Mokun Lu Mu coalition army. The first is that the Longbow Battalion was exhausted in Mibo Mountain, and the second is that the Chariot Battalion was basically scrapped, and now with these siege equipment, they have nothing left except light and heavy cavalry. As a result, the coalition forces have very limited means of counterattack.

In the courtyard of Mingyue in the county town, Duan Lang and others were also talking about the mole. There are internal ghosts in the army, and this is not a trivial matter. Once the plan is leaked before the big battle, it can lead to the destruction of the entire layout. If this person is not dug up, it is indeed a big cancer in the army.

Duan Lang and several others confronted each other, and the circle of suspicion immediately narrowed. Duan Lang looked at everyone, "My side can be excluded, and it can't be passed on in the county." Now the rest, except for Sun Gangchuti's side, is only the scout camp. According to Da Fei's knowledge, the enemy scout should be someone who ran out of Azhu's assembly area. But Da Fei is not a human after all, and there are some things that he can't say clearly. Azhu, have any of the people you brought with you lost or missing? ”

Ah Zhu shook his head and said affirmatively, "We include the seventh uncle, a total of thirty-three people, all of whom are in my sight. Moreover, none of them acted alone from the crowd. ”

Tantai Mingyue said suspiciously, "Could it be that you were talking about the plan in the forest, and the other party's scouts overheard, and you missed or missed the killing target?" ”

Han Feng said, "With such a secret plan, how can we talk about it in the jungle." And when we searched around, Azhu and I searched back and forth several times, and it shouldn't be left alive. ”

Ah Zhu continued, "Yes, besides, when they act, they are in groups of two or three, and even if there are internal ghosts, they can't pass on the news. What's more, most of the people brought this time are shadows, and their loyalty is absolutely reliable. Even if the dozen or so practitioners I brought with me are very innocent, I have taken care of them secretly, so there should be no problem. I still don't think the inner ghost came from the scout camp. ”

Han Feng looked at Duan Lang and Mingyue, "Could it be that the enemy scout from Sun Gang Chuti's side happened to be discovered by Da Fei just at a staggered time with us." If the news is leaked, I think Sun Gangchuti is the most likely. I've been following Azhu's side, and after killing the enemy scouts, we'll leave quickly, and there won't be a gap in time to deliver information. ”

Yutai Mingyue thought about it, and her eyes were cold, "No matter which side the inner ghost comes from, it must be strictly investigated." Azhu, start with the thirty-one people you brought with you. ”

Ah Zhu was stunned, bit his lip and did not speak. Duan Lang said, "No need, the scout camp is the eyes and ears of the army, if even they don't believe it, then how can they fight." If you track it down, I'm afraid it will also hurt everyone's hearts. Mingyue, I believe in the loyalty of the scout camp. ”

Tantai Mingyue insisted, "I also know that it will hurt everyone's hearts, but if the inner ghost is not eliminated for a day, it is really dangerous to my army." That's it, Azhu, you and Uncle Seven secretly investigate this matter. Personal feelings aside, everyone who follows this time will investigate until they are innocent. During the period of covert investigations, these people are not to deploy major operations. I hope you can understand this arrangement. If this person is not removed, I don't know how many soldiers will have to pay their lives to protect the army like Zhou Long's subordinates. ”

Azhu nodded, "Well, I understand. ”

After several people discussed, Ah Zhu and Han Feng took the lead in leaving. As soon as the two left, Tantai Mingyue looked at Duan Lang and said.

"Lang, don't blame me for being too careful. The Qianli dam was destroyed in the anthill, and everything I did was for the good of all of us. ”

Duan Lang gently hugged Yutai Mingyue, "Of course I understand, I was afraid that Azhu would be sad just now, after all, the scout camp was taken care of by her." Before the inner ghost is found, any future actions are limited to the high-level above the general to know in advance. ”

Tantai Mingyue leaned on Duan Lang's arms, and glanced at her with resentment, "I thought you were angry with me." ”

"Silly girl, for your sake I can break into the joint venture alone, as long as you want, I can even give up everything." Duan Lang said softly.

Yutai Mingyue smiled, "I can remember this sentence, and I don't regret it." ”

"Why, I still have to make a vow from my husband."

"No need, the concubine trusts her husband." Yutai Mingyue boldly hooked Duan Lang's neck.

The two of them looked at each other lovingly, for Duan Lang and for the entire capital city army over the years, Tangtai Mingyue had paid too much effort and effort. If it weren't for the troubled times, Tantai Mingyue would also want to live a quiet life of retreating to the countryside.

Duan Lang suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Zhan Xuan~ has returned to the team." ”

"Well, I know, he's doing well."

"Why, you don't care about his previous ~ faults?"

"Stinky guy, am I so careful?" Yutai Mingyue glared at Duan Lang coquettishly.

Duan Lang said with a smile, "When my lady should be careful, no one will let go." When you are merciful, you are also the mother of the world. ”

"Husband, I want to ascend the throne now."

Duan Lang shook his head, "I didn't think about ascending the throne, after the world is stable, I hope to go back to Fengluan Mountain and live a mountain life with my father-in-law and Big Bear." ”

Tantai Mingyue blew like an orchid, and sighed, "It's too early to say this, let's go, we should also go and meet the soldiers." The loss of soldiers and horses in each battalion also needs to be readjusted. ”

The two of them knew that now was not the time to be warm, so they rearranged their clothes and walked outside. Tantai Mingyue looked at Duan Lang's thick and sturdy back, and couldn't help but be happy with what he had just said. Don't look at the two of them, one is full of pride, the other is brave, and they join hands with the generals to kill the enemy, and the name of the enemy is shocking to the world. But in their hearts, they are only doing this to live better, and they have no ambition to dominate. Especially Shentai Mingyue, who has seen through the infighting in the palace, hopes that Duan Lang can go away after success, and can follow him to patrol the world with a sword.

Duan Lang summoned all the generals outside Xiangjun, and except for the injured Zhou Long and Zhou Hu, all the generals arrived. Although the battle ended in a great victory, the entire Lidu City also lost nearly 30,000 soldiers. Overall, Duan Lang now has less than 140,000 people left.

A big war has put both sides into a temporary period of recuperation. Whether it is Mo Kun, Lu Mu or Duan Lang, they must readjust the layout of the army and the aftermath of the disabled personnel. In addition, at present, Duan Lang's army is in full swing, and Mo Kun does not dare to attack.

The great victory of Molan City quickly spread throughout Great Xia through Zhou Guangji of Fengluan Mountain. A big victory has boosted all the people in the world. The people of Daxia seemed to have forgotten the court that the Zhao brothers were in charge of, and only the army of Lidu City and Duan Lang were left in the minds of the people.

A few days later, Sun Gang fled back to Yixiang City with only 4,000 men. In Kyoto, Chuti was also a few days late and returned to the capital camp with a few remnants.

At this time, Kyoto is no longer as prosperous as it once was. Above the early dynasty, the important ministers were even more incomplete, and some departments could not even operate. Xiangguo Wu Guangguang was already full of silver hair, struggling to support the crumbling Great Xia court.

In the palace, Delong was even more ill for many days, and he had not been to court for a long time. Wu Guangguang stood alone outside the Jing Pavilion, compared to the glory of the past, Wu Guangguang felt that he was more like a tomb keeper. He knew that he could no longer stop Duan Lang's rise, and the Great Xia Dynasty was just in vain. After this battle, there was basically no palace to obey the orders of the Kyoto Imperial Family. Wu Guangguang even stretched the food and salary of the soldiers and horses in the city.

Liu Zhi, the head of the internal guard, hurriedly walked out with his head down, bowed down and said, "Lord Xiangguo, the master has summoned you in." ”

"How is Your Majesty doing today?" Wu Guangguang asked softly.

Liu Zhi shook his head sadly and didn't say anything. Wu Guangguang sighed and stepped in.

In the Jing Pavilion, Delong lay weakly on the bed, looking even thinner than the previous days. Delong beckoned and motioned for Wu Guangguang to sit down and speak. Wu Guangguang sat next to the bed, and the two of them looked at each other, with indescribable bitterness in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chuti~ is back." Wu Guangguang said softly.

DeLong shook his head, "I~ I'm dying, I don't want to ask about these things anymore." But I don't want to see the country left by my ancestors ruined in my hands. Wu Aiqing~I~ have already figured it out, only by joining forces with the eldest brother ~ maybe~ I still have a glimmer of life in Daxia. I plan to ~ pass on the throne ~ Zen to the eldest brother. ”

Wu Guangguang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, you~ You have to think clearly." ”

Delong nodded bitterly, "I have already thought it through, but~ he Deguang must agree to several conditions from me. Otherwise~ I'd rather ruin the whole of Kyoto. ”

Wu Guangguang looked at Delong in surprise, hesitated, he didn't want to persuade anything more. The matter has come to this point, it is better to let Deguang pick up this burden. It's better than falling like this, and even the eunuchs in the palace run out.

"I wonder what other conditions Your Majesty has?" Wu Guangguang asked.

"Liu Zhi!" Delon let out a faint shout.

Liu Zhi hurriedly walked in, "The old slave is here." ”

"Show my will~ to Lord Xiangguo."

"No!"

Liu Zhi agreed, and carefully took out a holy decree that had already been prepared from the case next to him. After Wu Guangguang finished reading it, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid ~ the eldest prince will not agree." Wu Guangguang frowned and said.

"Wu Aiqing, I want you to go to Yixiang City in person. Only you~ can fulfill my trust. Tell Deguang that the royal secret vault is still in the silver taels that can make him come back from the mountains. But he must ensure that Jiangshan~ must not fall into the hands of Duan Lang's house. Otherwise, I, Delon, will not agree, nor will my fathers and fathers. ”

Looking at Delong, who was short of breath and panting, Wu Guangguang thought for a long time and nodded silently.

"Minister~ obey the order!"

Wu Guangguang withdrew from the Jing Pavilion, and he told Liu Zhi about this matter that no one was allowed to leak it. Wu Guangguang summoned Chu Ti and Liu Shuguang and temporarily handed over the burden of Kyoto to the two of them. As for Zhang Zhao, Wu Guangguang didn't trust him at all. even said that Chu Ti was specially asked to keep an eye on Zhang Zhao to prevent this person from doing something rebellious when he was in danger. After all, there are many treasures in the royal family. If Zhang Zhao knew that Delong was gone, maybe his Heavenly Prison would have the idea of attacking the treasures in the palace.

Three thousand guards escorted a car out of the capital, and Wu Guangguang rushed to Yixiang City with Delong's trust. He didn't know if Deguang would agree to the conditions of the holy decree, and once he agreed, it would completely break the temporary peace between him and Duan Lang.
