Chapter 245: Jiaozhi Returns

At night, outside the city of Mi'an, in an endless military tent. The generals of the Cochin country stand according to their ranks.

Di Tongduan sat on the main seat, thinking of the three days of war, and frowned: "Little Mi'an, actually blocked my 200,000 army for more than a month, it is really angry."

"I thought that three days ago, we would be able to break through Mi'an in one go. Unexpectedly, Mu An's old horseman, cold-blooded and ruthless, actually killed his only son to boost the morale of the army. So much so that our army, to this day, has not achieved an inch." Looking at the main general frowning, a general, booed. Mu An is really worthy of his name. can actually kill the son ruthlessly, improve morale, and reunite the hearts of the scattered people.

A general on Di Tong's left nodded, and then sighed slightly: "General Chang's words are good, we never imagined that Mu An was so ruthless, if he was replaced by the last general, I was afraid that he would not be able to get this poisonous hand."

As soon as the words fell, the generals in the handsome tent all sighed.

"General Yi don't say it's you, it's the last general, and when you encounter such a thing, you can't do it. After all, he is an only son, and losing a child when he is old is the most painful thing in life, not to mention doing it himself, to kill the only son."

"This Mi'an was about to be captured, but I didn't expect this old guy Mu An to be so ruthless. I don't know what kind of benefits Zhou Guo gave him. Let him not hesitate to kill his only son. It's a pity, it's a pity."

"There is not much food left in this city of Mian. Their 50,000 soldiers have a bowl of gruel every day. I don't know what they have relied on to support them for so long."

"Our 200,000-strong army, the high-spirited Northern Expedition. I thought that I could, like a bamboo, take the south of the Zhou Kingdom, but I never expected that I would be here and be dragged for so long."

Di Tong waved his hand, the tent quieted down, and his eyes swept over the general standing at the bottom: "You generals have received a battle report, and Chai Yu, the emperor of Zhou State, has led the strength of the country, more than 400,000 troops, to block Western Xia. The Tibetans have gone to help. The Liao State is still waiting, as if something has happened in their country. In this way, there is not much time left for us now."

"Liao didn't send troops? It's ......". Changning showed a hesitant look on his face, the Four Nations Alliance agreed to send troops at the same time, why did the Liao State have no movement. If you wait for Zhou Guo to recover his breath, I am afraid that something bad will happen.

Yishan Zou frowned, and then relaxed: "Liao's entry into the alliance is mostly a thought, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Although it seems that we have a chance to win now, it is only a look. If we can achieve a big victory, so that the Liao people think that there is a bargain to be picked up, they will also send troops."

"I heard that in the Liao Kingdom, the Xituo faction led by Yelujing, the prince of Liao, is stirring up the wind and rain. It seems that the Liao State will not be able to count on it for a while." Changning thought of the news he had just received, and he was also annoyed. If now, the sailors of the Zhou State return to help, the Liao State will not move again. This is a disaster for Cochin. Fortunately, the sailor of Zhou Guo was still in the vast sea, and his return date was uncertain, so he was a little relieved.

Di Tong frowned, stood up and turned to look at the map behind him, and a sense of ominousness suddenly rose in his heart: "The emperor of the Zhou State, with the troops of the country, attacked the Western Xia, and Tubo was also forced to participate in the war. I am afraid that you have not much time left for us."

"Why did the general say this, the emperor of the Zhou State drove the expedition in person, and it was the Western Xia who attacked it, and it was not our Jiaozhi." A general hurriedly asked, and then echoed the voice.

The last general thought that it was a good thing for the emperor of Zhou to drive his own expedition. As long as we take Mi'an, the south of the Zhou State will be invincible. Wouldn't it be a pleasure for us to conquer the city?"

"In the past three years, because of the Zhou State, maritime trade has been practiced. In the southern coastal land, I heard that the rich can flow oil. As long as we attack it, then what is there to worry about."

"The Emperor of Zhou, with the strength of the whole country, drove the expedition in person. If this news is learned by Mi'an City, I don't know what wonderful things will happen."

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Now in Mi'an City, there is already a shortage of food, and only with one breath, it is fighting with our army. If they had learned, it would have become an isolated city. There is no food and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside at this time, so I am afraid that within three days, this city will be self-defeating."

"Yes, the taste of abandonment is enough to make them break ......."

Di Tong was upset when he heard this, turned around and asked them for a while: "Who said that they have no reinforcements?"

"What the general said, but it's the sailor of the Zhou State. According to the last general's investigation, Zhou Guoshui's division went to the open sea as early as half a year ago. The sea is far away, and the danger above the sea is added. When they returned, I was afraid that everything would have been a foregone conclusion. For the sake of prudence, before the Northern Expedition, the last general specially sent a decree to His Majesty. Go to the eastern coast and lay down a blockade. Enough to hold them down for a year". Changning faced Di Tong and told him about the arrangements in the eastern coastal area of Jiaozhi before his Northern Expedition.

Di Tong shook his head, and looked at the group of generals who started with a heavy heart: "Your arrangement, this will naturally be assured." But their reinforcements are only afraid that they are not sailors, but Dali Kingdom. At this time, Tubo was dragged by the Zhou State, and Dali and our country were originally old enemies and hated each other. If he takes advantage of the opportunity now to attack our country with all his might, he is afraid that disaster will come soon."

"Didn't Qi Kun, the Taishi of Dali, promise us to persuade the Dali Emperor to send troops to the Zhou State. How could they be, swords and soldiers, and raid me". Yi Shan thought of Qi Kun, and his eyes were even more puzzled. The general's worries are just afraid that there will be too many things.

Qi Kun has indeed gradually gained momentum in the past five years. The power of the Dali tribe is also gradually becoming stronger. And this ominous ...... of his own Di Tong was lost in thought, and turned to look at the map. The generals in the tent, seeing the general's thoughts, discussed their own things.

"The tribal forces of Dali State, although they were suppressed during the regency of the eldest princess of Dali. But they, after all, are deeply rooted. In recent years, the Dali Emperor has been in power, and the Dali tribal forces have also shown signs of rising."

"If it weren't for the tribal power of Dali Country, which began to grow slowly again, how dare Qi Kun be so arrogant."

"Although Qi Kun is arrogant, he should not go back on his word for such a major event, even if Dali does not go to the Northern Expedition to Zhou, he will definitely not, and he will attack me Jiaozhi."

"As far as Dali has the guts, it is only worthy of the house. In the face of foreign enemies, it will be soft. Of course, five years ago, it was an outlier. I didn't expect that woman to be so ruthless."

"These things of the general will be discussed by the imperial court, and we will just take Mi'an."

"Yes, that's true, we almost forgot our duty. Since the general feels that Dali will raid our country, then we will attack Mi'an. Before Dali sent troops, take this fortified city. When the time comes, I will return to China, and it will not be considered a return without justice."

"As long as Mi'an is in the hands of our country, the entire south of the Zhou country will be in no danger to defend. The fat on the side of this mouth is not tightened one day in the morning or one day in the evening."

"The last general will ask the general to give an order, immediately raise my 200,000 troops, pour out of the nest, and vow not to give up if he does not take Mi'an."

"Please give the order of the general ......".

A famous general, kneeling on the ground, asked for his life one after another, and stormed Mi'an.

Di Tong looked at the kneeling generals, thought of the ominous feeling in his heart, and then nodded: "The generals listen to the ......."

"The Divine Decree to ...... Ten days ago, Zhou Bo, the prime minister of Dali, led an army of 150,000 to raid our country. The domestic emptiness is unstoppable. The soldiers surrounded the original Xiang and pointed directly at the royal capital. His Majesty appointed a special general to lead a large army back to help. This matter is urgent, and there is no room for delay." A eunuch, with a soldier, hurried over. Before the man arrived, he began to read the will aloud. (To be continued.) )
