Charahan is marching with an army of 100,000 towards Jingcheng Pass.

After the start of the national war, the early part went smoothly, although Charahan was delayed in the Yanmen army for a while, but did not suffer actual losses, and Tianyuan Khan never appeared in front of the army.

In fact, Charahan did not know where the Tianyuan Khan was now.

He only knew that when the battle situation was in a critical period, the other party would definitely appear as a divine soldier descending from heaven to clear the obstacles for the army and win.

As the biggest reliance of the Beihu army and the only cultivator of the Heavenly and Human Realm in the world, Tianyuan Khan's style is naturally very high, and he will not appear when he is idle, and there is no need for him to appear.

For the king, once the war reaches the point where he needs to fight in person, it means that the situation has reached the most critical moment, and he is not qualified as a king.

The strength of the king's personal cultivation is not really commendable, and the strength of his subject's army is the excellent performance of a king.

Charahan knew that as long as there were no major problems in his campaign with King Zuoxian, Tianyuan Khan would not appear, and when Tianyuan Khan appeared, one of him and King Zuoxian would be punished for the crime of being unfavorable to the campaign.

Therefore, Charahan hopes that the battle situation will not require Tianyuan Khan to appear.

Unless there is a powerful cultivator in Great Qi, he can't compete with King Zuoxian. In this case, Tianyuan Khan, who is the Dinghai God Needle, will participate in the war on the premise of not curing him and King Zuoxian.

As one of the two commanders of the two armies, Charahan also had the idea of competing with King Zuoxian, and he couldn't lag behind the other party at the worst, otherwise he wouldn't look good on face.

This time to attack Jindi, Charahan did not allow accidents, so he was careful everywhere and always cautious.

But even with his best efforts, the army suffered defeat.

When the vanguard of Alogo's department was suddenly attacked by fire, Charahan learned the news in time from the cultivators of the Wang Extreme Realm who supervised the armies of the two routes.

A team of 10,000 people in the Tianyuan Royal Court, that is the essence of the army's combat power, it is the elite of the elite, and it is absolutely impossible to afford to lose it.

Under normal circumstances, even if all the masters of the Wang Extreme Realm were dispatched, Charahan would have to rush over to support, extinguish the mountain fire in time, or control the fire, at least clear the retreat channel for the soldiers and save the lives of most of the soldiers.

But Charahan did not do so.

The reason is simple.

It's not that you don't want to, but you can't.

It wasn't just the North Road Alogo that was attacked.

The vanguard of the army marching towards Jingcheng Pass on the south road also encountered a sea of fire that suddenly rose!

The situation was the same as that of Alogo, both of them were overwhelmed by the wildfires when the army had just begun to camp and the cultivators had not had time to take stock of the surrounding mountains and forests!

At the same time, the cultivators of the Wang Extreme Realm of Jin Land dispatched one after another to fight against the Wang Extreme Realm under the command of Chalahan, pinning down the latter, making it impossible for them to rescue the vanguard who was drowned in the fire.

20,000 soldiers, 20,000 real elite losses, for more than 200,000 troops, it seems that it is less than 10% of the number, but this is definitely a loss of vitality!

In an instant, Charahan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

"The Hedong Army must know our marching schedule and know where we will arrive today, otherwise these two fire attacks will not be able to be successfully achieved!"

Overlooking the sea of fire in the mountains in mid-air, Charahan's face sank like water, and he gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Yan in Baiyin: "Someone definitely leaked the itinerary of the army!"

Before that, all Charahan was thinking about was how to conquer Chengtian Pass and Jingcheng Pass. In his battle situation deduction, it was all based on the premise that Chengtian Pass and Jingcheng Pass were well guarded, and the offensive and defensive relationship between the two sides was determined.

He never expected that the secrets of the army would be leaked, leading to a situation in which the Hedong Army would take the initiative to attack! He had thought about it carefully, but he had only thought that the Hedong Army would attack at night, rob the camp, and have sporadic harassment.

"Who will leak the secrets of the army?" Bai Yin pondered and meditated, unable to think of who was the spy.

It's not that there are no suspicious candidates, but there are too many people who can be suspected, and any commander of 10,000 or 1,000 has received orders in advance and knows the movements of the army.

But the question is, how could the Beihu army leak the situation to the Hedong army?

Why?

At the thought of the word "meticulous", Xiao Yan's heart trembled for the first time, and she only felt that her vest was cold.

In the seventh year of Qianfu, she was captured in Yanping, and Zhao Ning told her at that time that the reason why he was able to dig her out so accurately and quickly was because the Tianyuan Royal Court had a great Qi work.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan returned to the royal court and has been looking for this fine work.

But in the end, this matter was proved by Tian Yuan Khan, and the royal court did not have that so-called fine work at all! For this, Tian Yuan Khan paid a heavy price, and Xiao Yan suffered a huge psychological blow.

How is it that now, things seem to be back to square one?

Is there a fine work of the Southern Dynasties in the army? Everyone is going to start looking for this fine work again?

If there is no such spy, how would the itinerary of the army be revealed?

Xiao Yan only felt that Rumang was on her back, and couldn't help but bite her red lower lip.

In case there is really a small work in the army, Xiao Yan can only think of one possibility: the other party was arranged by Zhao Ning!

What the hell did this damn guy Zhao Ning do?

"This matter will be investigated later, let the army retreat first, and be sure not to be affected by the sea of fire. When the fire is extinguished, we will continue our march!" Charahan finally gave the order.

He can't think about competing with King Zuo Xian now, because King Zuo Xian has not been defeated, and he has already suffered a big loss. As far as the current situation is concerned, he has lost no matter how much he compares, which makes him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I ask you to investigate the leakage of the army's itinerary. Charahan looked at Xiao Yan with a cold gaze.

Xiao Yan is now in charge of the intelligence of the army, and it is her duty to find out this matter, so she nodded solemnly at the moment.

It's just that when she took on this task, Xiao Yan felt indescribably awkward and uncomfortable.

Is there really a fine work in the army?

If so, when was it arranged by Zhao Ning?

Who will it be?

What if not?

How did the news leak out?

Could it be that Zhao Ning arranged a lot of eyeliner in Zhending?

Could it be that the army has been watched, and it has not been discovered?

Is this a dereliction of duty?

Can you make up for your mistakes?

Xiao Yan was full of thoughts for a while, and her heart was so confused that she felt as if she had returned to the seventh year of Qianfu.

......

Bianliang.

Since he arrived at the Bianliang Palace, Song Zhi has hardly slept well, especially after the establishment of the Hedong Jiedu Envoy, as the battle situation entered a stalemate, he couldn't see a turnaround, and Song Zhi was even more difficult to sleep.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been quite diligent in government, and I have never indulged in having fun, and I have never delayed a day in the court, and there has never been a book that has not been reviewed.

"Over the years, I have inherited the will of the previous emperors, promoted the centralization of power and strengthened the imperial power, and I have never slackened off, but why did it come to my hands, Jiangshan Sheji suffered such a setback, and let the barbarians of Saibei invade the country in a big way!

"Now that Hebei has completely fallen, and the world's army can't defeat the thieves, it is now completely relying on the Yellow River moat, and the imperial court can survive for a long time, and there is no date to counterattack Hebei and recover the Beijing division!

"Companion, what is wrong with me, I am really a faint king?"

There were only two people in the main hall, Song Zhi and Jing Xinmo, the former stared at the empty hall for a long time, and suddenly said such a thing in a low tone, not without sadness and self-blame.

When these words came out, Song Zhi's facial features were a little distorted, and his face was very ugly due to grief and indignation.

As an emperor, he considered himself not to be derelict in his duties.

In the process of centralization, it has not caused much chaos, and the eighteen generals and thirteen doors have been played by him in applause, although he is unwilling, but he cannot disobey the general trend he has created.

Even though a large number of displaced people have been sent out in the world, they have also been temporarily resolved by his strategy of defending the army, and on the whole, the dynasty can still be called the peace of the country and the people.

The prosperity of Daqi has obviously reached an unprecedented peak, why did it suddenly fall down?

Is it because the Beihu army is too strong, or are the Qi people enjoying peace and prosperity for too long, so that they are corrupted and degenerate too much, and they can't fight with the barbarians?

Song Zhi couldn't think of an answer.

If he is not wrong, then he can only be his subjects.

So is he really wrong?

As a king who has nothing to do with arrogance, lasciviousness, abandonment of political affairs, reckless military force, brutality and other historical books, the state of the country that is heavily capitalized and close-up, and completely untouched, what can he do wrong?

Jing Xinmo bowed to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, don't be presumptuous!

"The loss of this battle is just that Beihu has been planning for a long time, and he has no intention of calculating or not, even if he can achieve some victories in the early stage, when the dynasty concentrates its forces, it will definitely be able to defeat it in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty is the king of the Holy Wisdom, and the subjects are grateful for the grace of the Holy Grace, at this moment, people in the world do not want to work hard to serve the country and be loyal to Your Majesty, Your Majesty only needs to know people and be good at their duties, and they will be able to return to Yanping soon!"

Song Zhi's words just now were not all coquettish, but a large part of his true feelings were revealed.

No matter who you are, whether you are a king or a commoner, no matter what you do, you always want others to understand, recognize, and respect you.

In Jing Xinmo's words of persuasion, Song Zhi was comforted to a certain extent, and his expression softened.

"Otomo is right, as long as the dynasty is united, it won't be long before the North Hu can be majestic. ”

Song Zhi pondered for a moment, "It's just that the current situation is really difficult, the army of King Zuoxian of Beihu is on the north bank of the Yellow River, and it is really not easy for Wang Shi to break through for a while."

"Now we can only look at the Hedong army, if they can't withstand the pressure of the right king of Beihu and let the other party capture the Jin land, the situation will fester, I am afraid that people will panic......"

The Northern Hu army won successive battles, and the Great Qi army could hardly shake its troops, except for defeat and retreat, and in the long run, the subjects of Great Qi would be cowardly even if they looked down on Beihu before.

Once the military and the people's hearts are no longer available, the situation will be really dangerous, not to mention anything else, many people will think of ceding land and seeking peace, or even surrender to the enemy.

Ceding the land for peace, bowing to the north Hu and softly, this is absolutely unacceptable to Song Zhi.

It can be said that the current battle situation of the Hedong Army has a direct impact on the trend of the national war.

But Song Zhi couldn't help much.

So he was anxious.

"Great victory!

Just when Song Zhi was worried, the officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion shouted and begged to see him.

"Where's the good news?"

Song Zhi's spirit was shocked.

Yesterday, the Chalahan Division of the Northern Hu Army approached Chengtian Pass and Jingcheng Pass in two ways, and was attacked by the Hedong Army with fire, and the pioneers of the Northern Hu Army totaled more than 20,000 horsemen, all of whom were buried in the sea of fire!"

The officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were shouting almost at the top of their voices.

Song Zhi was pleasantly surprised, suddenly got up, and waited for General Jing Xinmo to hand in the report, he quickly browsed it, and immediately overjoyed, laughed three times, and was extremely happy:

"Good, good! It was really a great victory! The Hedong Army was really able to fight, and it lived up to my expectations! Beihu was burned by a single fire, 20,000 people were destroyed, what is there that is difficult to defeat?

"Immediately announce the good news to the world, so that the government and the opposition know that the Beihu barbarians are just a group of savages after all, where is the opponent of my elite Qi!"

Jing Xinmo promised repeatedly, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
