Liaodong City, which is the first important town in the northwest of Goguryeo, was scarred and bloody, like a beast at the end of the road, dying under the fierce attack of the soldiers of Middle-earth for more than two months.

Outside the city, the expeditionary force is more than 50 miles away, the palace is in the center, and the two wings of the 12 Weifu army are subordinate, such as the stars and the moon, and the momentum is magnificent.

On June 11, the emperor inspected the battlefield in the south of Liaodong City, and in the face of Liaodong City, which had not been attacked for a long time, he was furious and scolded a group of commanders of the Weifu Army to the blood.

On the afternoon of this day, Cui Twelve Niangzi and Cui Jiu arrived at the city of Liaodong, seeing and seeing, full of devastation, ruins, thousands of miles of red land, this war-ravaged land shrouded in the scorching air, emitting a strong smell of blood, and the fierce drums and trumpets faintly heard in the wind and the sound of fighting one after another, clearly telling those creatures struggling on the battlefield that the slaughter of the god of death is in full swing, and the end of the disaster is still far away.

At dusk, the fighting stopped, and the soldiers dragged their tired bodies back to the camp. Cui Hongsheng, the general of Zhuojun Taishou and Zuo Wuwei, returned to his handsome tent, took off his heavy armor, and just sat down to take a breath, he was pleasantly surprised to see the twelve ladies in military uniforms, heroic posture, and dusty servants, but then, his face was not good-looking, his eyes were cold, and he looked at Cui Jiu who was standing behind the twelve ladies.

The identity of the twelve ladies is too special, she is a concubine who was deposed by the decree of the first emperor, and this grandson entered the East Palace as a prince a few years later, what is even more amazing is that this grandson has been vacant since the twelve ladies were deposed, the position of the concubine has been vacant, until the emperor proposed to the Cui family to remarry, everyone suddenly realized. However, there are unforeseen circumstances, just when the twelve ladies are about to return to the palace as the crown princess, the prince suddenly died, so the twelve ladies in the eastern capital political arena has become a special existence zài, she used to be the emperor's daughter-in-law, is the emperor's family, and is about to return to this family, although she did not become the crown princess, but the intimacy with the emperor's family is obvious, and the emperor and the empress both in public and private occasions also recognize the existence of this intimate relationship.

This relationship was an extremely valuable political resource in the eyes of the large and small political forces in the Eastern Capital, including the eyes of the Emperor and the Cui family. The emperor used the twelve ladies to send a message of cooperation to the Cui family, the first wealthy family in Shandong, and the Cui family used this resource to maintain a tacit political understanding with the emperor, and both sides took what they needed and what they benefited. Therefore, the twelve ladies are very important to both the Cui family and the emperor, and without this resource, the political cooperation between the two sides will also lack the "lubricant", and the contradictions and conflicts will become more and more intense.

Cui Jiu, as one of the high-level core members of the Cui family, protects and assists the twelve ladies, of course he knows the importance of the twelve ladies, but this time, he is good at making claims, cutting first and then playing, and secretly bringing the twelve ladies to Liaodong and to the expeditionary battlefield, not only putting the lives of the twelve ladies in danger, but also endangering the political interests of the emperor and the Cui family, completely crossing the bottom line that the emperor and the Cui family can tolerate, and Cui Jiu deserves death.

"I ordered you to return to the Eastern Capital." Cui Hongsheng's voice was not loud, and his tone was not strict, but the implied anger and murderous aura were very terrifying, making people shudder, "You disobeyed a certain order, you betrayed the Cui family." ”

Cui Jiu knelt down, said no, bowed his head and confessed. He already knew this result, but Twelve Niang "pinched" his neck, and swore to ensure that he was safe, so he could only move forward and sacrifice his life to accompany him.

"My lord, can you listen to Er's words and then decide his life and death?" The Twelve Ladies pleaded.

"So-and-so read your letter and know that things are very strict." Cui Hongsheng said, "The white thief is an extraordinary person, since he can deduce the life and death of King Guande (Yang Xiong), Beiping Xianghou (Duan Wenzhen) and others, of course, he can also deduce the life and death of a certain person, but the way of heaven is irreversible, and heaven wants to die, and a certain Yan can not die?" Since he knows that his days are numbered, the most important thing is to arrange things at home and not leave too many regrets. ”

The Twelfth Lady frowned, dissatisfied with her father's negative attitude, and after a moment of thought, she asked, "My lord, have you ever wondered why the white thief rebelled?" Why rebel during the Crusades? ”

Cui Hongsheng stroked his beard and sighed lightly, "Since ancient times, all supernatural powers have acted treacherously and unpredictable. Whether the white thief has great magical powers, I don't know, but judging from his actions of raising the flag to rebel, he is obviously not optimistic about this crusade, and even in his eyes, this crusade will fail, and after the defeat, the Middle Earth, the country may collapse, and the world may be in chaos, he thinks that he has the opportunity to be a prince and general, so he wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, and he must take advantage of the situation. Cui Hongsheng shook his head, his eyes showing disdain, "With the strength of my Middle Earth, even if this Eastern Crusade fails, it will not be able to shake the foundation of the country, let alone the great cause of reunification. ”

Cui Hongsheng is very confident. In that year, the first emperor went on an expedition to Goguryeo, tens of thousands of soldiers were buried in the sea, and the whole army was wiped out. In that year, Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, gathered the military strength of the fifty-two states to rebel, and the war swept half of Middle-earth, what was the result? The national Zuo is as solid as a rock, the great cause of reunification has not been damaged, China has made great strides, and the national strength has become stronger and stronger. These are all living evidence, enough to prove that although a strange person such as the white thief can spy on a trace of the destiny of heaven, they cannot change the destiny of heaven, and those who deserve to die must die, and those who should not perish will never perish because of a few alarmist proverbs.

The Twelve Ladies heard something from Cui Hongsheng's words, "My lord, at this point in the Eastern Crusade, do you still have confidence in victory?" ”

At the mention of the Eastern Expedition, Cui Hongsheng's confidence suddenly vanished, he was not optimistic about the Eastern Expedition in the first place, and more than two months have passed since the forced crossing of Liaoshui, and the expeditionary force is still fighting hard under the border town of Liaodong, which is still more than 1,000 miles away from Pyongyang, Goguryeo Province, and even more 108,000 miles away from the attack process planned by the center.

According to the process of the Eastern Crusade controlled by the center, at this moment the expeditionary force should have crossed the Yalu River and advanced to Pyongyang, and should have joined the army of the sailors of Laihuer and Zhou Fashang, and the water 6 attacked Pyongyang, but now the main force of the expeditionary force is still attacking Liaodong City, and the attack strategy made by the center has become a joke on paper, and the twelve guards gave the center a big slap, and the commanders of the guard palace beat the emperor and the central ministers to the point that their noses were blue and swollen, and their faces were lost. The emperor was angry, and when he inspected the battlefield in the south of the city today, he was so murderous that he wanted to cut people with a knife, but can he cut it now? If the problem is cut, it will be stricter, once the army is in turmoil, what will the emperor and the central ministers do? Did you go into battle in person and risk the arrows to attack the city?

Cui Hongsheng's expression was heavy and he was silent for a long time. The twelve ladies knew that their father was in a bad mood and was very pessimistic about the war.

Originally, the twelve ladies would have been suspicious of Li Fengyun's words. Imagine that the powerful Weifu army killed all the Turks all over the field, and the farts and urine flowed, could they not beat the little Goguryeo? If nothing else, it should be devastated, and it should have been killed to Pyongyang, but the fact made her disappointed, hundreds of thousands of Weifu troops besieged a Liaodong city, and attacked a border town of the Goguryeo people with absolute superiority, and it was not defeated for more than two months.

This is not at all a question of the strength of the army, nor is it a question of the strategy of the generals, but a matter of politics within the top level. Li Fengyun's words are right, the Eastern Crusade has been carried out so far, which proves that his analysis and inference of the early stage of the Eastern Crusade are basically correct, so as to speculate, his analysis and inference in the middle and late stages of the Eastern Crusade may also be correct, and this is also the purpose of the Twelve Ladies who rushed to the battlefield of Liaodong in person, she wanted to save her father, she wanted to go against the sky, and change her father's fate at any cost.

"My lord, the Holy Lord is still under Liaodong City, and the army has not been able to capture Liaodong City so far, and the rainy season has come, when the rainy season is over, late autumn is approaching, and winter is approaching, in fact, we don't have enough time to capture Pyongyang this year to complete the Eastern Crusade." The Twelve Ladies said in a low voice, "My lord, at this moment, the Holy Lord is in a deep passivity, the situation is very unfavorable for him, he should judge the situation and come up with a new strategy for the Eastern Crusade in time to stabilize the morale of the army and stabilize the situation." ”

Cui Hongsheng looked up at the twelve ladies, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Unconsciously, her daughter has grown up and matured, and she can take charge on her own, if she is lucky and her current identity is the crown princess, it will be too helpful to the Cui family, but it's a pity that it ......

"You've grown up, you shouldn't be willful." Cui Hongsheng said, "Although the Eastern Crusade is becoming more and more difficult, and the situation of XX is becoming more and more dangerous, you can't save XX, no one can save XX, unless the Eastern Expedition takes a turn and the situation is turned upside down, there may still be a glimmer of life, but at present, it seems that there is absolutely no miracle." ”

"Could it be that the Holy Lord has devised a new strategy for the crusade?" The Twelve Ladies immediately asked.

Cui Hongsheng bowed slightly.

"My lord, did the Holy Lord decide to follow the last policy of Xianghou (Duan Wenzhen) of Beiping, travel lightly, Xingchi, kill Pyongyang directly, and fight with the Navy Division Water 6 to conquer Pyongyang to destroy the morale of the Goguryeo people, and it will be decided in a battle?" The Twelve Ladies asked.

Choi Hongsheng was taken aback. How could his daughter know the last policy that Duan Wenzhen, the Marquis of Xiangzhen in Beiping, dedicated to the emperor before his death? How could he have guessed that the emperor decided to use Duan Wenzhen's legacy to try to reverse the situation when the battle situation was extremely passive?

"My lord, when the Xianghou of Beiping offered advice, the army had not yet attacked, and my hundreds of thousands of soldiers had not yet crossed the Liaoshui, and there was still enough time to attack, but now more than two months have passed, not to mention that the attack time is not enough, and all the conditions for the implementation of the Beiping Xianghou's legacy are no longer available.

Cui Hongsheng was more and more surprised, "How do you know these things?" Who sued you? White thief? Did he figure it all out? How is this possible? ”
