Not only the crown prince, but also Duke Yuan Teng of Zhenbei, Duke Lan Ao of Xuanhua, and even his brother-in-law Li Yuan, should not want Du Bian to participate in this fateful battle with the Jurchen Empire.

Du Bian's weight is already very heavy, he is already one of the three major armies of the empire, and he is a prince.

Of course, if Du Bian was willing to lead 100,000 troops north and throw them into the battlefield of Liaodong. Then the crown prince and Duke Yuan Teng both raised their hands to welcome, especially the crown prince, of course, hoping to win this battle.

But if Du Bian wants to go to the Liaodong battlefield alone, then forget it.

Once you go, you can only go and take away the power of Duke Yuan Teng and Duke Lan Ao.

Moreover, you can't turn decay into a magical battlefield command art? Not necessarily!

Now everyone knows that the reason why you Du Bian was able to defeat Li Ruhai relied on three things in total.

First, the army of the peerless dungeon. Second, the God of War artillery. Third, the Arrow of Destruction.

And now that you've run out of Arrow of Destruction, you don't have the capital to stage a magical reversal.

The most important thing is that now that the situation on the battlefield in Liaodong is very good, there is no need for you to join in the excitement.

This huge credit was given to Duke Yuan Teng, Duke Lan Ao, and Li Yuan, especially the biggest credit, let Li Yuan receive it alone.

Du Chang said: "Your Highness, there is a military report for me to see." ”

The prince took out a thick military report and handed it to Du Bian.

Regarding everything on the battlefield in Liaodong, these battle reports are recorded very clearly.

Now Du Bian finally understands where the prince's confidence in victory comes from.

Artillery!

God of War artillery.

Fu Hongbing led an army of 50,000 to the north to support the Liaodong battlefield, including 20,000 peerless dungeon legions, and the other 30,000 were soldiers of the Third Legion.

In addition to this, thirty twelve-pounder guns were brought.

But at this time, the army of the Daning Empire in Liaodong had two hundred and thirty artillery pieces!

That's right, two hundred and thirty doors.

So where did the other 200 guns come from?

Holy Fire Cult!

This is the revenge of the Holy Fire world against the United Kingdom of the East.

The naval battle in the Indian Ocean had dramatic consequences, and the United Empire of the East was granted the colonial rights of a province on the coast of the Indian Ocean.

In other words, although the war was evenly divided, the United Kingdom of the East took advantage.

And in retaliation, the Holy Fire Cult world sent two hundred artillery pieces to the Daning Empire, and there was also a considerable amount of artillery, cannonballs, and gunpowder.

Why did the Dzungar Khanate temporarily cease war with the Vana Khanate, and let the Vana Khanate go all out against the Jurchen Empire?

This is also the pressure of the Holy Fire Cult.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The Daning Empire was an enemy of the Eastern United Kingdom, so it became a friend of the Holy Fire Cult world.

Of course, the Daning Empire and the Holy Fire Sect were also considered enemies, but with the demise of Li Ruhai, this hostile relationship ended temporarily.

More than a year ago, the Holy Fire Cult World sent 50,000 expeditionary forces to support Li Ruhai, bringing 200 artillery pieces into the territory of the Daning Empire.

This completely angered the United Kingdom of the East and led directly to a naval battle in the Indian Ocean between two powerful navies.

In retaliation, the Holy Fire Cult supported the Daning Empire. It's just that he didn't choose the Du Mutant force, but the crown prince!

Why was Du Bianyi's brother Li Yuan able to recapture Liaoyang City?

Because, the crown prince chose him as his cultivated lineage, and all 200 artillery pieces were allocated to his army.

A full 200 artillery pieces bombarded in unison, and Liaoyang City was captured in just a few days.

With this merit, Li Yuan should have been promoted to the general army of Liaoyang.

Next, the 400,000 troops of the Daning Empire attacked the Shenyang defense line of the Jurchen Empire, and Li Yuan's army was still the absolute main force.

So how many troops does Li Yuan have in his hands?

Sixty thousand!

Some of them are his old department in Shenyangwei, and 10,000 are the guards of the ancestor Li Lianting, and the rest are allocated to Li Yuan by the prince from Tongzhou Town and the defenders of the capital.

In short, the crown prince and the ancestor Li Lianting devoted their power to cultivating Li Yuan.

With these 60,000 troops, plus 200 artillery pieces and 2,000 Holy Fire Sect artillerymen, Li Yuan fought like a bamboo in Liaodong.

After recapturing Liaoyang City, Li Yuan led his army to win several battles.

Therefore, in the more than two months since the war in Liaodong, Li Yuan has risen like a comet and become the new god of war in the north.

With these 200 artillery pieces, in the decisive battle of the Shenyang defensive line, Li Yuan once again made a huge contribution is a high probability event.

Once Shenyang City is recaptured!

Li Yuan will be knighted, and it may start from the viscount, unlike Du Chang who started with the baron.

At that time, the crown prince will have the power of the lineage in his hands, not only can suppress a big warlord like Duke Yuan Teng, but also can fight against Du Bian.

The most important thing is to completely eliminate the effect of the great savior of the Dubian.

lest everyone think that the entire Daning Empire is only a big savior.

Of course, the prince had no intention of turning his face with Du Bian, and he didn't even unload the mill and kill the donkey, but just wanted to suppress Du Bian's prestige.

Without you, I would still be able to win a great victory! lest you, the young marquis, be too inflated!

This is a normal imperial mental trick!

The previous Emperor Tianyun didn't have the emperor's mind because he didn't like it, which was abnormal, so he couldn't talk about success as an emperor.

Next, Du Bian found that the prince behaved very blessly.

The 50,000 army led by Fu Hongbing did not appear on the front line, but was stationed in the rear of the Guangning Wei and Shanhaiguan defense lines.

The meaning of this is already very clear, this decisive battle with the Jurchen Empire will not allow Du Bian to have any touch, and even his army will not be allowed to attack Shenyang.

With nearly 400,000 troops and 200 artillery pieces, whether it was the crown prince, Li Yuan, or Duke Yuan Teng or Duke Lan Ao, they all felt that this decisive battle in Shenyang would undoubtedly be won.

Du Bian claimed that he was going to the battlefield in Liaodong at this time, wouldn't it be boring for himself? Wouldn't he be taking credit?

Be a human being.

Du Chang said: "The minister understands, I wish you a great victory on the battlefield in Liaodong here." Righteous brothers Li Yuan, Duke Yuan Teng, and Duke Lan Ao can recapture Shenyang and deal a devastating blow to Jianyu Jurchen!"

The prince laughed and said: "Du Bian, if the southwest is not very busy, you can stay in the capital, I believe you will get the news of victory soon, and you and Ning Xue can also be reunited as husband and wife at that time." And your brother Li Yuanyi, he has always been very concerned about you. When the time comes, your righteous brothers will have two nobles, and everyone will praise Li Lianting for his good training. ”

Du Bian smiled and said, "Your Highness has won the prize!"

Then he said: "The minister still has to go to the ancestor to ask for peace, if His Highness has no other instructions, the minister will leave." ”

The prince said, "Go ahead!"

Then he took Du Bian's shoulders and sent him all the way to the door.

......

"Grandson to meet the ancestor!" Du Chang saluted.

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" The old ancestor Li Lianting helped Du Bian up, and he looked a little angry.

Obviously, Du Chang's killing of Wang Jianshu made Li Lianting have a lot of opinions in his heart, feeling that he was disrespectful to the imperial power.

But after the prince gave the order, Du Bian only led less than a hundred cavalry into Beijing, which seemed to be above board, which made Li Lianting forgive a little.

Regarding the new policy, about killing Wang Jianshu, Du Bian can explain to his godfather Li Wenyu.

Because his father-in-law Li Wenyu is extremely good at internal affairs, although he is not a far-sighted politician, he is at least proficient in political affairs.

And the ancestor Li Lianting is a pure martial artist.

In his eyes, imperial power is supreme.

When the emperor was there, he was completely loyal to the emperor. When the emperor fell, he pledged allegiance to the crown prince.

All this is taken for granted in his eyes.

Therefore, Du Chang's killing of Wang Jianshu is a big rebellion in Li Lianting's eyes.

But after all, Du Bian is Li Wenyu's righteous son, and he has a great favor to the empire, Li Lianting feels that he needs to wake up this young man who is a little swollen and a little disoriented.

"Marquis Du Bian, do you still recognize me as a godfather?" asked Li Lianting.

Du Bian said: "Of course, in my heart, my father-in-law is my father-in-law, and my ancestor is my grandfather." ”

Li Lianting said: "Since you still recognize me as a grandfather, then I will say two words to you." First, a king is a king, a minister is a minister, and as a courtier, you must abide by your duty. Second, the crown prince is also a king, even if you make great contributions, even if Your Majesty favors you again, you are also a courtier, understand?"

Du said: "Understood." ”

"No, I don't think you understand at all. Li Lianting said: "Wang Jianshu was sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, even if he did something wrong, you just ask for a decree to condemn the crime, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still not distinguish between right and wrong? Do you have to kill him directly? You are so domineering and so majestic?"

Du Chang was silent.

He remembered a sentence from later generations, which determined that the distance between two people is often three views.

People with inconsistent views, no matter how close they once were, will gradually drift away.

Li Lianting has not changed, he is still the elder like an old hen, caring for the younger generation and loyal to the master.

No one can shake his loyalty, he is still the best parent, the best ancestor.

He is a very good person, but it is a pity that he can't understand Du Chang.

Because the angle at which the two people stand is completely different.

Du Bian asked, "Old Ancestor, at what age was Brother Li Yuanyi adopted by you?"

"Nine years old!" Li Lianting said, "What do you mean by that?"

Du Bian hesitated for a long time and said, "Ancestor, there are some things that I am inconvenient to say to His Royal Highness the Prince, and I want to ask you to tell His Highness." ”

Li Lianting said: "You say." ”

Du said: "First, don't worry about me, I support the thirty artillery pieces on the battlefield in Liaodong, although I use them." Second, it is better not to concentrate more than 200 artillery pieces in the hands of one general, and half of them can be divided into the army of Princess Ning Xue. ”

What Du Bian said was really heartfelt.

These more than 200 artillery pieces are too important, and it is too risky to concentrate them all in the hands of one person.

Hearing Du Bian's words, the old ancestor Li Lianting changed his color and said: "Du Bian, don't you just want to see your righteous brother Li Yuan make meritorious contributions? In the entire Daning Empire, you are the only one who can make meritorious contributions, be knighted, and turn the tide? In these days when your life and death are uncertain, your righteous brother Li Yuan is thinking about you every day, and when you get married, he is busy from time to time. Even after the recent war, he wrote to me many times asking about your whereabouts and safety. ”

Li Lianting was really furious.

"Du Chang, do you still have a conscience? Li Yuan regards you as his own brother, what do you regard him as? The person who blocks your way? The person who steals your limelight?"

"Marquis Du Bian, can't you be broad-minded?"

"Li Yuan is my grandson, and you Du Bian used to be my grandson, I have always treated everyone equally, and the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat. But now it seems that you and Li Yuan, you and we are not all the way. ”

"Marquis Du Bian, you have a great kindness to the empire, I am here to salute you, thank you for saving the Daning Empire. But from now on, you don't have to see me, and you don't have to call me a grandfather, I can't afford it!"

After that, the old ancestor Li Lianting bowed down to Du Chang, and then did not move for a long time.

What is this? Another way of cutting off the robe?

But in short, it's a rupture?!

Du Yan looked at the stubborn figure of the old ancestor Li Lianting.

He didn't forcibly help the other party up, nor did he have any explanation, but bowed down more deeply and said: "Time will tell, take care of your ancestors!"

Then, Du Bian turned around and walked out directly.

......

Next, Du Bian returned to the emperor's room and held his hand tightly.

At this moment, he felt the warmth of the emperor even more deeply.

The unreserved trust and love that the emperor once gave him, how precious and warm it was.

However, the emperor could not say a word now, and it was difficult to even give a little response.

Feeling Du Chang's depressed mood, the queen said softly: "What's the matter, child? Are you having an unpleasant quarrel with the prince? You two brothers have something to say, I'll help you uphold justice, and I'll scold him." ”

The empress of Emperor Tianyun is a little wife who has never cared about politics, unlike Queen Ning Chen of King Lichang.

In her opinion, Du Bian is a very well-behaved child, and the prince is also a very well-behaved child. After Du Bian married Princess Ning Xue, they were a family, and Du Bian and the prince were like brothers.

Du Bian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Niangniang doesn't have to worry." ”

The queen said: "I will write to Liaodong in a while to see if Ning Xue can fight for a trip, and your husband and wife will be reunited." Otherwise, if you go to Liaodong, you won't see each other again after you get married, which won't work. ”

Du Bian said: "In the future, it will be an opportunity to reunite." ”

How did the naïve queen know that Du Bian could not step into the battlefield of Liaodong for half a step, and even in the capital, he was no longer popular.

Du Bian clenched the emperor's hand and said word by word: "Your Majesty, for our goal and for the prosperity of the empire, I will do my best." ”

Then, Du Bian said goodbye directly to the queen.

The queen exclaimed: "So urgent? How can it be? Even if your affairs in the southwest are urgent, there is no need to leave now, you haven't eaten a meal, at least let Ning Xue come back and reunite with you for one night." ”

Du said: "The affairs of my southwest are too complicated. ”

The queen said: "That's not good, then you have to eat a meal before leaving, otherwise my mother-in-law will be too disagreeable." ”

The queen went to arrange the meal in a hurry.

......

Half an hour later, Du Chang, the crown prince, and the queen sat down at a small table to eat, all of which were home-cooked meals, but they were very delicious.

The queen kept giving Du Bian.

"Eat more, is it really that urgent, can't you even stay for one night?" said the queen uncomfortably.

She is really full of feelings for Du Bian, like a nephew.

Du Bian once saved her husband's life, and saved the empire several times, in her eyes Du Bian is the best and best junior and courtier.

The prince said: "Du Bian, why don't you stay overnight?" or the queen mother will be able to scold me for a month." ”

Du Bian said: "No need, the next time will be very urgent, and there is really no time to stay." ”

The prince said: "Okay, I'll send you later." ”

The queen said with tears in her eyes: "You guys are so disobedient, Ning Xue was like this at that time, and she went to the battlefield in Liaodong without saying a word." Now that you are like this, you just came and left, is it that the emperor and I are not treated by you like this?"

......

With tears in the queen's eyes and reluctance, Du Chang left the palace.

The prince once again personally sent him out of the capital, and Du Chang stayed in the capital for less than three hours from beginning to end.

On the outskirts of the capital.

The prince hesitated for a long time and asked, "Du Bian, do you want to take away your 50,000 troops?"

Du Bian was furious in his heart, I am not such a villain yet.

Do you really think I'm a jealous and virtuous villain? It's like I'm looking forward to the defeat of Liaodong?

Du Yan looked at the prince and said: "Your Highness, no one is more eager than me for a great victory in Shenyang and Liaodong, and it is best to destroy it in one fell swoop." Because the North won, I can develop quietly in the Southwest, and the most important thing for the New Deal in the Southwest is time. ”

That's what he really said!

Standing on the overall situation, he extremely hopes for a great victory in Liaodong.

Although in that case, Li Yuan will be knighted, and he will be supported by the prince to become a giant to contain Du Chang.

Although in that case, Li Yuan will replace Du Chang and become the great savior of the Daning Empire and become a generation of military gods.

But Du Yan didn't care at all, he didn't think about competing with anyone for merit, and he didn't think about competing with anyone for glory.

His only goal is to grow and fulfill his mission.

Therefore, he is extremely eager for the victory in Liaodong.

But his dragon-like instincts told him that things would turn out very unpredictably.

The prince said guiltily: "I lost my words." ”

Du Chang said: "The minister is leaving!"

Then, Du Chang rode on the Wild Horse King, led less than 100 horsemen south, and completely left the capital.

After leaving the Prince's field of vision.

Du Bian ordered: "You escort my stand-in and return to the southwest as fast as possible." ”

"Yes!" shouted nearly a hundred horsemen.

Taking advantage of the night, Du Bian galloped away in another direction, running wildly in the southeast direction.

Meanwhile!

In the defense line of Shenyang City, the fate of the Daning Empire and the Jurchen Empire Armageddon officially broke out!

The total number of troops invested by both sides is more than 600,000!

The Daning Empire 400,000 fought against the Jurchen Empire 200,000.

It's a battle of national fortunes!

If the Jurchen Empire is defeated, it is in danger of extinction.

If the Daning Empire is defeated, the entire Liaodong may fall, and the Jurchen Empire's army may even directly descend under the Shanhaiguan Pass to coerce the capital of the Daning Empire.

This was not the Battle of Salhu in the Ming Dynasty.

This Armageddon was much larger and the consequences were far more staggering.

......

Li Lianting's righteous grandson, the prince's descendant, Du Bian's righteous brother, and the Liaoyang general Li Yuan's military camp.

Li Yuan, the latest rising comet of the Daning Empire, has won several big victories in succession and is hailed as a man who can replace Du Cheng as a young military god.

He quietly stared at the candle flame in a daze, full of emotion.

He was the only one in the whole barracks, and many times he was used to being alone, not to having anyone on the side.

In the past ten years, he has been a very indifferent person. Only in front of Li Lianting, Du Bian and a few others behaved very enthusiastically.

Suddenly, a figure walked in and said coldly: "Master secret letter, 100,000 urgent!"

Li Yuan took the secret letter and smelled a smell of the sea tide.

When he opened the secret letter and saw the content on it, Li Yuan's face suddenly changed drastically, and his whole body began to tremble.

Above, there are only three simple words: It's time!

......

A day and a half later.

Du Yan appeared in the Northern Hell Sword Sect and appeared in front of Ning Daoxuan.

Ning Daoxuan, the sect leader of the Northern Underworld, looked at Du Chang for a long time.

No words can describe the shock and horror in his heart at this time.

Unexpectedly, after Du Bian was thrown into the rift of the world, he would come back alive.

Moreover, such a drastic change has occurred.

not only changed from a eunuch to a normal man, but also the whole person became like a fierce tiger and dragon, and his momentum was impressive.

And right now!

Du Bian closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes completely changed, and even his entire face and figure changed.

Another light and shadow seemed to shroud Du Chang's body.

Wu Yazhi, the twelfth sect master of the Northern Underworld Sword Sect, his spiritual power enveloped the audience, and his figure appeared on Du Bian's body.

Immediately after, Ning Daoxuan felt a familiar aura.

The aura of the energy of the Great Law of the Northern Underworld.

"The twentieth generation sect master of the Northern Stygian Sword Sect listens to orders. Wu Yazhi's light and shadow said.

Seeing this, Ning Dao Xuan bowed down and said, "The disciple is here!"

The light and shadow of Wu Ya, the twelfth generation of the Northern Hell Sect Master, said: "Du Chang is the person prophesied by the ancestors of the Northern Hell Sect, the master of the mission, I order Du to become the next generation of Sect Master!"

......
