Between the lofty mountains and mountains, the mountains are high and the forests are dense.

Above the mountain, in the blue sky, a flock of free geese, in a herringbone shape, flew towards the north.

After flying through the world at the bottom of this well, it disappeared. The sky was still blue, and white clouds were drifting by. Cast a shady shadow over the earth.

The mountain wind blew, and there was a slight cold feeling on my body.

The wails around him filled his ears. Park Zhenxing retracted his gaze, glanced around at the remnants of the army in the valley, and pulled the corners of his mouth with a wry smile.

As the most unfavored third prince, Park Zhenxing faced all this, in vain and powerless, and there was no way at all.

I lowered my head and looked at my bloodstained clothes, which seemed to be no different from usual. It's just a little less glamorous.

Not far away, in the shade of the trees, beside the campfires, my father sat there, weeping and staring at the gray sweet potatoes in the fire. Swallowing vigorously.

It has been two days since the army ran out of food, and the soldiers who fled here in a hurry are already exhausted. Throwing away armor along the way, it's now the end of the crossbow.

Three days earlier, an uncanny surprise attack by the enemy from the sea had completely disrupted his father's counteroffensive plan.

The raid was launched at midnight and there was no movement at all.

However, in the stunned gaze of the patrol soldiers, several fireballs in the sky dragging the tail of fire streaked across the night sky and roared.

The soldier had seen such a scene countless times, and it was a life-threatening bomb. Along the way, they have endured a lot of hardships. Countless soldiers were buried in the scattered splatters of shrapnel.

Now, the soldiers saw the overwhelming shells again, and for a moment they were so frightened that they forgot everything. The mechanical mouth opened, but a voice was also released.

The first shell to fall accurately fell into the valley, and the patrolling soldiers were instantly engulfed in the skyrocketing flames.

Then came the deafening explosion.

The artillery fire was in the sky, the mountains and rocks were splashing all over the sky, and the soft branches in the flat sky became a sharp weapon to kill them at that moment. The soldier who was immersed in his sleep was immediately buried in the artillery fire, and the trees around the valley were covered with the soldier's broken arms. The blood that flowed out of the valley stained all the streams in the valley red. The whole valley became a purgatory on earth in an instant.

Now, the remnants of the army, which is less than 20,000 people, have retreated into this valley, and it is already at the end of the road.

Since the appearance of the damned pirate force that my father said about a month ago, the glory of the coalition has never returned. In the south, the sudden appearance of the Great Zhou army completely cut off the retreat of the coalition army and also cut off the supply line of the coalition army.

Moreover, a group of about 5,000 elite cavalry of the Great Zhou, like a devil, came and went like the wind and lightning, crisscrossing the territory of Goryeo, and no one could stop it. In just one month, a large area of the country south of Incheon fell.

I heard the people who fled to the north say that wherever the Great Zhou army in black armor went, there were no chickens and dogs. The means are bloody and outrageous.

Regarding this kind of news, Park Zhenxing listened to it and could only nod slightly.

In fact, this result was already doomed a few months ago, when my father agreed to the request of the Dongying people and ordered the slaughter of more than 200,000 people.

At that time, the Dongying people laughed, licked the warm blood on the steel knife, pointed to the panicked and defenseless Great Zhou people, and said that this was a flock of sheep, a group of sheep without resistance. At that time, the father next to him also smiled and nodded, and then ordered the army to charge again.

At that time, Park Zhenxing, who was following behind, was the first time to see so many people die, the first time to see the legendary massacre of civilians that only villains would do, and the first time to see the mountain of corpses.

Stepping on the land of the Great Zhou, stepping on the wet ground, the shoes on his feet were already soaked with blood. The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, which made people feel extremely suffocated.

In this kind of dead city that is even more cruel than purgatory, Park Zhenxing vomited, and the sky was dark.

He shook off the guard's arm and threw it at the foot of the wall, when suddenly, a cry of a baby made Park Zhenxing's heart skip a beat.

He glanced warily in all directions, and saw that no one was watching. He then searched in the direction from which the voice came.

It was on the street, in the midst of a mountain of corpses, under a beheaded woman, hiding a baby less than a full moon.

Perhaps, the baby did not know that his mother was dead, and still clung to his mother's clothes and screamed.

It's like I'm hungry!

When he saw someone sitting over, the baby turned his head as if by feeling.

The moment he saw the baby, Park Zhenxing was stunned.

He believed that it was a pair of clear eyes that he had never seen before.

It's really clear. There is no trace of dust, and you can see your own shadow clearly.

"Little one!" Park Zhenxing raised his hand to wipe the blood stains on his face, smiled, and bent down to hug the child.

It's just that when he just stretched out his hand, a cold and shining steel knife reached out in front of him. The flickering light of the cold light completely washed away the only warmth.

Park Zhenxing's heart darkened, and the outstretched hand was also stunned in place.

Turning his head, he saw his father's gloomy eyes.

"Kill him!" At that time, the father stuffed the steel knife into his hand, pointed to the pile of corpses, and said coldly to the child who was still smiling at himself.

"I ......" Park Zhenxing hesitated, and the hand holding the steel knife was also trembling.

"Huh?" Father's eyes sank, staring at him.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a group of fierce beastly guards came over, and these guards drew their knives and stared at them coldly, like staring at a lamb that had no power to resist.

"Yes!" Park Zhenxing, who lowered his head, finally nodded weakly. He turned his head away, not looking at the baby's smile, much less daring to look into the baby's eyes.

Just a mechanical lift of the knife and then falling.

Yiyi's voice stopped abruptly, and the bloody wind whistled by, cold and numb.

At that moment, Park Zhenzhen knew that he would never be able to turn back. No matter how repentant a devil is, he will never want to get rid of the blood on his hands.

After that, the army began to attack Changbai Mountain. But those Great Zhou armies that had been defeated, as if they had gone crazy at that moment, fought the coalition army with red eyes. The Great Zhou army fought to the death and did not retreat, so the two sides began a battle for Changbai Mountain that lasted for more than ten days.

Changbai Mountain was captured several times, but before the coalition forces could rest for a while. It was here that it was recaptured by the Great Zhou army.

The ten-day battle turned the beautiful Changbai Mountain red. At the bottom of the mountain, on the slope of the mountain, the corpses were everywhere, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled.

That stop seemed to be a turning point in the whole war.

Those Great Zhou troops who fought to the death and did not retreat, with their loyalty and courage, blood and lives, finally evoked the wolf and blood surnames of the Great Zhou people.

Twenty days later, a large number of elite troops of the Great Zhou who crossed the sea landed at Incheon. Since then, the winds of war have changed dramatically.

The hundreds of thousands of landed Great Zhou troops, like devils rushing out of hell, were cold-blooded and ruthless, sweeping through various cities in Goryeo.

In their offensive, they showed the courage and wisdom of the Great Zhou people. Powerful weapons, brave warriors who look at death as if they were home. Let the coalition forces that are advancing with great strength fall into a desperate situation.

Countless cities fell, and refugees began to flee north.

until they find His Majesty, whom they adore and adore, and then report their painful experiences.

However, after seeing those hundreds of thousands of ragged people, Park Zhenxing's heart was cold.

Then, under the cold gaze of his father, he ordered the army to slaughter these people who had robbed the army of food.

Now, Park Zhenxing, who was sitting by the stream, looked at his hands stained with mud, and felt disgusted.

I washed it for a long time, and the nausea I felt couldn't go away.

As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of innocent and desperate eyes of the people who had been shot. It's been more than ten days, and this feeling is about to drive him crazy.

At his feet, the stream rose at some point. The cold stream water, soaking the shoes, was cold.

In the distance, the quarrel between the father and the Dongying people finally stopped. The weary soldiers ran into the stream, their eyes wide open, ready to catch fish.

Looking at the father who was sitting in the shade of a tree, eating half-baked sweet potatoes while directing the soldiers to catch fish, Park Zhenxing glanced at her lightly, and his eyes flashed.

"Yaga!"

A scolding voice from Dongying people remembered, and Park Zhenxing raised his eyes to look.

Oh, it turned out that a group of Koreans and Dongying people were fighting for a fish, and it seems that someone was killed.

The Dongying people triumphantly took the fish and walked away, and behind them were countless crying Goryeo soldiers.

Ay...... Park Zhenxing let out a long sigh and withdrew his gaze. Picking up a branch, he stirred the stream restlessly.

"Prince!" In the woods behind him, a familiar Pyongyang accent was heard.

After hearing this, Park Zhenxing, who was sitting on the bluestone, stopped moving in his hands. Turning his head and glancing, he saw that in the woods, several generals in the army, where the cats were, were waiting for him.

Park Zhenxing withdrew his gaze, and after thinking about it, he threw away the branch in his hand, got up, and walked towards the woods.

After entering the woods, the generals who were in charge of heavy troops immediately surrounded him, looking at Park Zhenxing with an expectant look in his eyes.

Prince Pu Zhenxing smiled at these generals, looked at a bearded general and said, "You have met the military advisor of the Great Zhou, Lu Heng?" ”

The general nodded excitedly, clenched his fists and said, "Yes, last night, the soldiers of the Great Zhou took me to meet their military advisor!" ”

With a hint of inquiry in his eyes, Park Zhenxing asked curiously, "What does he look like and what does he look like." What is the age? ”

When the general heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile, recalled the experience of last night, and sighed: "We all guessed wrong, he is not an old man." Oh, that Lu Heng is just a ten**twenty-year-old scholar. Not as old as the prince. Looks, very kind! ”

"Scholar?" Park Zhenxing asked in surprise: "You say he's just a scholar?" ”

"Yes!" The general nodded, and then remembered the expressions of those Great Zhou generals on the flagship yesterday, and said with a smile: "Although the military division is very kind, those Great Zhou generals are extremely respectful to that scholar!" ”

"Scholar!" After hearing this, Park Zhenxing sighed softly and said with a leisurely gaze: "A few months ago, I was going to Tokyo to study!" Oh, I didn't expect ......"

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Park Zhenxing's mouth, and there was a leisurely look in his eyes.

The surrounding generals saw the prince's expression like this, although they were a little dazed. But in my heart I was very happy. Since the prince has feelings for Da Zhou, the next thing will be easier.

Sure enough, the generals didn't wait long. I saw Prince Park Zhenxing raise his head, stare at a general and say, "What did the Great Zhou military division say?" ”

When the general heard this, he glanced at the generals around him and saw them nodding. Only then did he step forward, clench his fists and say in a deep voice: "The Great Zhou military division said, before midnight today, we will hand over the king and all the Dongying people, and then the whole army will surrender." You can save the rest of the soldiers from dying!"

"That's it!" Hearing this, Prince Park Zhenxing just let out a faint sigh. Such a reaction made these generals a little stunned.

The king, but his father. How could this reaction be, it seems that he is not worried, and there is a hint of relief.

"And then?" After thinking about it, Prince Park Zhenxing asked again: "There should still be, the people of Da Zhou should not be so polite!" ”

Hearing this, the general's face was embarrassed, he glanced at the prince, and stopped talking: "Them! ”

"At this time, what else can't be said?" A wry smile appeared on the corner of Prince Park Zhenxing's mouth, and he smiled helplessly and said to himself. Stretched out his hand to pat the general's shoulder, nodded and said, "Say it!" ”

"They need us to hand over the king's seal, and ......" the general said in a deep voice with a sad face: "Moreover, from now on, Goryeo will be divided into the middle of the Great Zhou, and the king of Goryeo will cease to exist, forever!" ”

The wind howled in the woods, and the shadows of the trees swayed. The rustling sound resounded through the forest, making people uneasy.

The generals around him were all looking like relatives. The death of the country is ahead, and it is inevitable to feel sad in my heart.

"Just do as they say!" After being silent for a long time, Prince Park Zhenxing nodded and said lightly.

"Prince, we ......" Several generals stepped forward with excited expressions, trying to dissuade the prince.

"Even without the existence of the Great Zhou people, Goryeo will be swallowed up by Dongying!" The prince glanced at the general coldly and said in a deep voice.

The general bowed his head and said no more. Then the prince withdrew his gaze, raised his head, and looked at the dappled light beyond the shadow of the tree. He said leisurely in his heart: "What's more, in the current situation, we no longer have any right to speak." And, what Tokyo is like, I really want to see it! Heh......"

The sun shines through the shade of the trees and shines on the prince's face, warm.

After a while, the prince raised his head, squinted his eyes, waved his hand to the generals beside him, and said, "Go!" ”

"Yes!" Several generals clenched their fists and spoke in unison.

After the generals walked out, Prince Park Zhenxing withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, trembled his hands, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.

"Oh, the country is gone!"

Pulling out the small porcelain bottle, Park Zhenxing sighed, closed his eyes, raised his head, and drank the poison in the bottle.
