Three days after the burning of the river, in the camp of Carter, Prince Sithle's adjutant handed over a copy of the latest battle report to Prince Sisil, who was chatting and laughing with his son. Prince Sisil took it without care, looked at it slightly, and his face immediately changed greatly, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he fell directly to the ground, unconscious!

Prince Cicere's son was frightened at that time, and quickly held his father, shaking incessantly, crying, "Father, father, what's wrong with you?"

The rest of the people were also frightened, and hurriedly carried Prince Sisil to the bed, shouting for the priest, calling for a priest, and doing a massage for a massage, and it became a mess for a while, in their minds, Prince Sisil is the sky, and if he falls, the sky is falling, but no matter how hard these people try, Prince Sisil just won't wake up.

Prince Sisel's son came out of the crowd and focused his attention on the battle report, what was the news that could bring down his father, who had always been strong? This aroused his serious concern, and after taking the bloody battle report, he carefully studied it, and saw that these words were written on it in shock!

"On June 18, the Great Han State sent winged people to raid our naval army, the enemy set fire to the ship with leather bags filled with grease, our army could not meet the enemy, all the prepared warships were burned, other military supplies, food, siege equipment were all burned, and our army's casualties were as high as 180,000!"

"Oh my God!" Prince Cicell's son immediately knew why his father was in such a hurry after reading it, and the loss this time was so great that Carter no longer had the strength to regain the lost ground. His father's hard work for many days has all come to naught, can the old man not be in a hurry?

Subsequently, the military priest was almost carried on his back, after careful inspection. It has to be concluded that it is a rush to attack the heart, and it is necessary to find a temporary fainting. After casting a few light-based recovery spells for Prince Sisil, he threw down a sentence and slowly cultivated, and left in a hurry! It can be seen that he doesn't know much about the prince's condition either.

Prince Sisil did not slowly wake up until the night, and the first thing he did when he got up was to ask his son who was beside him anxiously, "What about the battle report?"

"Father, are you awake?" said the prince's son in surprise!

"What about the war report?" Prince Sisil ignored him. Instead, he asked more anxiously!

"Here, father!" the prince's son hurriedly pulled out the battle report from his chest and handed it to his father!

"Who has seen it!" Prince Sisil did not answer, but asked!

"Just me. As soon as I saw the contents, I knew that it was not good, so I didn't ask anyone to see it, and besides, I also sent someone to see the adjutant who knew the contents of the battle report, so as not to let the news leak out!" said the prince's son hurriedly!

"Very well!" said Prince Sisil with a look of approval, "you are already a qualified general who is not alarmed." Alas, better than me!"

"How can I compare to my earthly father!" said the prince's son modestly!

"Hehe!" Prince Sisil smiled bitterly: "If I can stabilize it, I won't be angry and vomit blood, Long Jingtian is really powerful!"

"Father, what now?" asked the prince's son hurriedly!

"I don't know!" said Prince Sisil confidently, "but." I won't admit defeat easily, I, and the Tiger Huang Army, I, and the army of millions, I, still the Brilliant Tiger King, I, not so easy to fall!"

"But the situation is very unfavorable to us now? The prince's son was embarrassed and said: "Why don't we retreat for the time being, and when we go back and reorganize the army and horses, we will make a comeback!" "You are wrong son!" Prince Sisil said earnestly: "We can't retreat, we can't retreat." The king can't spare me, the nobles who have beheaded my relatives can't spare me, and even the people of Carter, who have always trusted me, can't spare me, and I can't have a chance to come back! Moreover, when I come back, with Long Qingtian's ability, the people in the occupied areas will definitely not be willing to Carter anymore, and in that case, the Great Han Kingdom will be completely occupied! We will not have any more chances. ”

"But now do we have a chance?" asked the prince's son!

"It's the ground!" Prince Sisil sneered, "We still have a chance, because I didn't give it for nothing!" Long Qingtian should also receive the gift I sent now, right? Haha, if you want to be troubled, you can come together to be happy!haha"

It is true that Prince Sisil was so angry with me that he vomited blood, but the current mood of Poor Dao is definitely not much better than him, if it weren't for Poor Dao's cultivation and cultivation of his mind, he would have vomited blood by now! There are two pieces of news that make me vomit blood, the first is that the 100,000 Xuanwu Legion cavalry who came to support us have walked on the road for nearly two months, and they have only walked half the way. It's really a bastard, I'm so angry that I've been thinking about one thing, should I chop up all the 100,000 people in their family!

This matter is actually quite a trivial matter, anyway, the reinforcements of the Suzaku Legion led by my uncle have already arrived, and I don't really care about the garbage troops of the Ishihara family. But this second thing is what really troubles the poor road, and it is about to kill me! The cause of the matter is that my grandfather made a request to the king to send officials to the occupied territories in order to dispel the king's doubts about me.

I don't know how the idiot of the king arranged it, these people who came are all like they have never seen money, and they immediately started collecting taxes as soon as they took office, and they are still heavy taxes, saying that they are raising funds to support the fight against Carter's invasion! Damn, Lao Tzu sent so much money to the king, isn't it enough to spend? Besides, it's been two months since the war started, and I haven't seen the king give us a dime. I don't even deserve a mage, just thinking about asking for money?

Later, Poor Dao felt that something was wrong, the king was an idiot, but his mental retardation had limits. It's not incorrigible yet, and it's not going to be dry like this, but there's a ready-made example of Vana's invasion of Kasia? There's an old guy behind the scenes. How could it be impossible to make such a low-level mistake? If I forced the people of the occupied area to rebel, it would not be just me, would it be unlucky? After losing the land, he would no longer think about dreaming of being an emperor. Therefore, Poor Dao thinks that there is something greasy in it, and Prince Sisil can't get rid of it!

Later, after careful investigation, I found that the king demanded taxes, but they were not so heavy, and they were all added by the officials themselves. And. A number of suspicious figures have been seen around these officials. Most of these officials are generous and bold, and they can quickly win the trust of officials. Under their influence, most of the officials from the Han Dynasty began to become corrupt, and they were very seriously corrupt.

Of the thirteen governors sent by the king, twelve were highly corrupt, and the remaining one was extremely corrupt. Forty-four city lords. There are more than 30 people in the corrupt area, and a few of them are not too sour. I'm dizzy, it's really as black as a crow in the world? Isn't it going to be on the ground in the first place?

Although these people have no effect on going to the battlefield, they are absolutely first-class when they engage in sabotage? It is common to bully men and women, and it is normal to pay taxes harshly. He also often puts on the face of a victor, looks down on the people in the occupied areas, and always says how you defeated people should be. All at once it ruined the unity and equality that I had advocated, and the people of the occupied areas were in great distress, and if they continued to develop, I don't think Prince Sisil would need to do anything. The rebellion of the common people alone can drive us all out, and then repeat the scene of Varner's crushing defeat at Cassia!

This matter is really tricky, these people all have deep backgrounds, otherwise how can they be mixed with this fat shortage? They are not easy to move, and after all, they are all appointed by the king himself, and it must be inappropriate for me to deal with them, but if I don't care, then my previous hard work will be completely in vain. Livne had complained to me several times, and she could hardly stop the dissatisfaction of the people below her now, because the guys sent by the king had gone too far, robbing the people in the streets, or robbing the local nobles of Carter, and there was even one guy who played people to death. Lean, I found out when I asked, it's still a bad seed that the Ishihara family is abundant!

Poor Dao didn't dare to slack off, so he first tried to find a way to catch the suspicious person around the bad seed of the Ishihara family, and handed it to Kerry for questioning, and it was really the same as I thought. They were all sent by Prince Sisil for the purpose of pulling the newly sent officials of the Han Dynasty into the water, instigating them to harm the people in the occupied areas and create trouble, and it was best to let the people spontaneously organize themselves to rebel! At that time, the Han army would fall into the quagmire of the people's war and would not extricate itself, and Prince Sisil would be able to lead the army to regain the lost territory in one go! And the reason why the bad breed of the Ishihara family was able to take their lives was also the secret work of this guy.

Now it seems that the tasks of these people have been completed very well, the people are alienated from the Han because of heavy taxes, and the nobles are disgusted because they are not respected by the Han, and the rebellion is already in the making. If you don't take precautions sooner, it will be very dangerous! Prince Cicell, Prince Sisel, you really deserve to be my opponent? We almost thought of going together again, flies don't bite eggs without sewing, I opened a breakthrough from the second prince, and you worked the garbage official sent by the king, we are really heroes! Poor Dao is now beginning to have a feeling of pity for this cunning opponent, if he were not an opponent, we would definitely become friends! But now that he has given me this hand, it has strengthened my resolve to defeat him.

Originally, Poor Dao's plan was to stick to the area to occupy, and he never thought of crossing the Liuhua River to defeat Prince Sisil's army, not only was it inferior in strength, but the most important reason was that it was unnecessary! It would take time and effort to defeat a million-strong army, and the casualties would definitely be too large for me to bear. Besides, there is no benefit in defeating them, the land on the other side of the Liuhua River is of no use except for grazing, and it is not easy to defend, so it is useless to use it!

Such a thankless thing has always been unwilling to be done. But the situation is slightly different now, and the chaos in the occupied territories has made me realize that as long as Prince Sisil is there, Carter's heart to regain lost territory will not die. If you defend passively, it's okay to deal with others, but you don't even have a door to deal with Prince Sisil by guarding. Now is the most obvious example of this, if the chaos does not end in a short time. So, for the sake of peace and tranquility in the occupied area, Poor Dao is determined to completely defeat the troops led by Prince Sisil and eliminate future troubles forever!

This decision is not the only reason for this. There are a number of other factors that are also contributing to the decision. First, Carter's side of the Silver Fox Legion surrendered, and then the Vermilion Legion successfully arrived on our side, and this increase and decrease caused a change in the balance of power between the enemy and us. Moreover, in the Battle of the Burning River, not only did the elite Iron Wall Army burn the battle sequence to temporarily withdraw, but also burned half of the food of Carter's army, making the food of Carter's army on the opposite side temporarily scarce.

Another great opportunity for me. Considering all these factors together, I made up my mind.

The question now is how to get Prince Sisil out of the tortoise shell he has constructed, and it will not be worth it to attack. I thought about relying on Nicholas's cavalry to raid the Flower Meadows and cut off his food routes, but in that case. It's likely that his entire army will withdraw to Carter's pass, and if he leaves, what can I do with his million-strong army? If you want to defeat a million-strong army in the vast steppe, you will have to pay a terrible price, and there are many variables in doing so, maybe there will be reinforcements from the country?

Therefore, this plan is not safe enough, so I have to think of another better idea! After a day of hard thinking, Poor Dao finally has a clue. You can do both things at once! It just so happened that Nicholas came to me in a rage! It was the morning of the day!

"My lord, has it always been good?" said Nicholas, though he looked anxious and angry. But he hasn't forgotten the etiquette, so he greeted me first!

"I'm fine, can I be a daughter-in-law with Princess Yixiangxiang?" said the poor and depressed!

"Huh?" Nicholas said in shock: "Isn't Princess Xiangxiang the beloved daughter of the Carter Silver Fox Legion Captain Maimaiti, the one who is known as the top beauty in the mainland?"

"Yes! it's her!" said with a wry smile!

"What's going on?" asked Nicholas puzzled! "This is how it is!" Poor Dao explained to him the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and finally said, "In this way, when I am not there, my father will not ask me to find me a daughter-in-law, or will he enter the door immediately!"

"Hehe! Congratulations to the lord!" Nicholas smiled: "She is a famous beauty in the mainland, worthy of the lord, and the Silver Fox Legion can send her." Presumably, it is a matter of pleasure to come to seek refuge sincerely, why is the lord so depressed?"

"Hehe!" Poor Dao sneered, "I won't tell you!" "Quack, Poor Dao can't say that I was predestined by Athena, right?"

"Hehe!" Nicholas laughed: "You, I think you are cheap and good, well, I came to complain this time, you want to call the shots for me?"

"What can stump you?" I want to hear!" asked Poor Dao curiously!

"Oh, it's hard to put it into words!" said Nicholas with a bitter face!

It turned out that Nicholas was in charge of a new young governor in the Ground Defense District, who was the garbage of the Ishihara family. He didn't do anything all day long, looted people's property everywhere, and robbed women. For this reason, he and Nicholas's security guards have fought a lot. This idiot didn't come to office on his own, he brought with him 3,000 thugs, some of them were the likes of the Ishihara family, plus some ruffians and hooligans he brought with him in Dahan.

They punished a lot of people, and they really beat up Nicholas's men. Nicholas had the heart to find face, but he was ridiculed by that kid, and blamed Nicholas for not meddling in local security matters. Considering his status as an official appointed by the king and the powerful background of the Ishihara family, Nicholas had no choice but to transfer back his own people and let this idiot mess around.

But this idiot mistakenly thought that Nicholas was afraid of him, and acted even more unscrupulously, intensifying, and finally came up with the idea of Nicholas's troops' salary. The money was supposed to come out of the provincial treasury, but this kid only knew how to make money, so where was he willing to take it out?

In fact, it was a time of war, so what rules were there? Didn't I have the final say? Now that these officials are in charge of the finances, naturally they can't just give out money like me? I spent other people's money, and of course I didn't feel distressed, but now that the king wants to pay for it, of course these lackeys will start to pick at it. But other officials have given me a little face, at least no one dares to openly deduct this money now, but he, this kid, wants to jump out, and be the first person to eat crabs, do you want to find excitement?

Seeing that other legions were handing out a lot of money, but Nicholas couldn't even get a hair, could he not be in a hurry? His subordinates were already difficult to bring, and now that they had such a reason, they were going to make trouble in the sky. Nicholas couldn't bear it anymore, so he came to me to complain.

"Haha!" Poor Dao laughed instead of anger after hearing this: "Just as I was about to get out of the room, someone sent me a ladder, haha!

"How?" asked Nicholas, puzzled!

"This is kept secret for the time being, uncle, please go back first, I will convene a meeting of all the officials appointed by the king in a few days, you can also come, when the time comes, I will give you an explanation!"

"Don't mess around?" Nicholas said worriedly: "It's likely that Sisil will be cheaper now, and the king won't be able to explain it?"

"Haha, don't worry! I'll do it all!" Poor Dao laughed: "Don't you worry about my ability?"

"I'm just so relieved!" Nicholas smiled bitterly, "That's why I'm more worried!"

Damn! I really don't give face!
