In the second year of Shenwu, January 16.

With the 1.6 million army advancing to the east and northeast of Da Viet in two directions, the Yuanshan front, which had been fighting for a long time, finally ushered in a rare truce.

Dajin's attack on Da Viet has lasted for a month and a half, and in the past month and a half, Da Viet first lost more than 500,000 troops on the northern border and more than 300,000 troops on the Wonsan front, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

As for the Dajin Dynasty, it only lost more than 200,000 troops in total, and the gap between the two sides was very large.

At present, the Dayue Dynasty still has more than 700,000 troops on the Yuanshan front, which is almost all the soldiers and horses that Dayue can mobilize.

In addition, Da Yue only retained 50,000 border troops on each of the remaining three borders, and deployed an army of 200,000 in the west to guard against the Yunbo Dynasty in the west.

Finally, there are the garrisons and forbidden armies guarding the imperial capital and the imperial palace, and their internal defensive forces are extremely empty.

Of course, this was on the premise that the Da Yue Dynasty did not hide other unknown armies.

On the other hand, the Dajin Dynasty had 900,000 troops on the front line, of which 300,000 had been transferred only a few days earlier.

These 200,000 troops were ostensibly sent in the name of supporting the Wonsan front, but in fact, they were specially transferred to deal with the army of Great Xia because of "reliable information".

……

Bongseong.

The war-torn county town has long been unrecognizable, with dilapidated walls and collapsed corner towers, and although the bodies have been disposed of by both sides, the maroon blood-colored traces are everywhere, rendering the inside and outside of the city walls dim and terrifying.

As for the Da Yue soldiers on the city wall, they also looked tired and tired, and there were even many wounded soldiers mixed in with them.

However, in stark contrast to these, it was the irrepressible joy and relaxation of the Da Vietnamese soldiers.

Because they all already knew that Da Yue had successfully formed an alliance with the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Great Xia Dynasty had directly sent an army of 1.6 million to help!

One hundred and sixty thousand, what is this concept?

Counting their own army of more than 700,000, the strength of both sides will be as high as 2.3 million!

2.3 million against 900,000, no matter how strong the Daikin army is, it will never be an opponent!

A few days ago, when I received the news that Dajin had increased its troops by another 300,000, many Dayue soldiers fell into despair.

But now it's time for the desperate to become a big golden man!

Fengcheng is a key node on the Wonsan front, which is related to the stability of the entire defense line, and the strategic location is extremely important.

Therefore, Zhu Ze, the general of Dayue, personally sat in the town and led nearly 200,000 elites to guard here.

In the city, in the Wujin compound, which was requisitioned as a command post, the main guards of the city gathered in the temporarily renovated military hall, and they were discussing something fiercely.

"Great Xia's army has already entered the territory of our court, and it will arrive in three to five days, we don't discuss a counteroffensive strategy at this time, what are we waiting for?"

"Counterattack? General Xu, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Would you really be so kind as the Great Xia Dynasty? That's an army of 1.6 million! In order to aid my Da Yue, Da Xia will be so crazy? ”

"What do you mean? I, Da Yue, have already made an alliance with Great Xia, and Great Xia should go all out to help us defeat the invading enemy! ”

"All out? Hey! Naive! If Great Xia really just wants to help us repel the Jin army, it is enough to send an army of 700,000 to 900,000, where is there any need to be so crazy? ”

"Yes, an army of 1.6 million, it's really unnecessary. With such a huge expedition team, it is an astronomical amount for people to eat and chew every day, and the brains of the high-level people of Great Xia are not broken, where can it be so wasted? ”

"Shhh Listening to the meaning of the two, is it because they are worried that the tiger will come to the wolf? ”

"Wouldn't it? We have made a covenant, and if he breaks the covenant and attacks us, won't he be ridiculed and condemned by the whole world? ”

"Joke! If spittle can kill, what do you want us soldiers to do? The so-called covenant, in the face of powerful force, is nothing more than a piece of paper! Have there been few broken covenants throughout the ages? ”

"If that's the case, then you'll be ......"

The guards fell silent, and the excitement and joy dissipated and were replaced by sorrow and anxiety.

"What do you think, General?"

As one person asked, everyone turned their heads to look at the old man sitting upright on the main seat.

The old man's beard is white, his face is weathered, but his waist is straight, and his eyes are as deep as a lake, full of majesty.

He is the general of the Dayue Dynasty, Zhu Ze.

Zhu Ze is the Dinghai Divine Needle in the Dayue military circle, experienced in a hundred battles, and is also the greatest contributor to Dayue's ability to persist to this day under the powerful offensive of the Dajin Dynasty.

Zhu Ze looked around at the generals in the hall, and was about to speak, when a middle-aged man in armor suddenly walked in through the side door.

Looking at the middle-aged man who wanted to speak and stopped, Zhu Ze frowned slightly.

"What?"

This person was the commander of his personal guard, named Lin Bai.

If there is no important matter, Lin Bai will not trespass and interrupt during the military discussion.

Lin Bai didn't speak, but walked quickly to Zhu Ze's side and whispered in his ear for a while, and at the same time quietly felt something from his sleeve.

When he saw the thing clearly, Zhu Ze's pupils shrank, but he quickly returned to normal.

After waving his hand to let Lin Bai retreat, Zhu Ze raised his eyes to look at the generals in the hall.

"This kind of big thing is not to be talked about, this general needs to contact His Majesty and the Weaving Night Division. Okay, let's disperse first, and when there is news, General Ben will gather you. ”

Although the generals were a little confused, they didn't want to ask too much, and they got up to say goodbye.

After all the generals left, Zhu Ze strode towards the side room.

"What about people?"

"In the second courtyard room, do you want to invite here?"

Lin Bai responded in a low voice.

"Nope."

Zhu Ze raised his hand to refuse, and after thinking for a while, his expression was certain.

"Please go to the study, pay attention along the way, don't let people recognize you."

"Yes, don't worry, general!"

Lin Bai hugged his fists, and then walked away quickly.

After the tea, two women and a man entered Zhu Ze's study.

When the woman in charge lifted the veil and took off the human skin mask on her face, a complicated look flashed in Zhu Ze's eyes.

"Old minister, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Li Hanxiang smiled slightly and raised her hand slightly.

"You and I are old friends, and the general doesn't need to be polite."

Zhu Ze straightened up, looking embarrassed.

"Your Highness Princess, you... How's it going? In Great Xia, have you ever been wronged? ”

Li Hanxiang smiled: "Thank you for the general's concern, the palace is very good, Your Majesty treats me very well, and he has never wronged me." ”

Hearing the title of "Your Majesty", Zhu Ze couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes became more complicated.

Yes, the current Princess Tianxiang has become the imperial concubine of Great Xia, and the "Your Majesty" in her mouth has also become the emperor of Great Xia......

After being silent for a while, Zhu Ze sighed secretly and asked, "Princess, why did you come here?" ”

"General, who betrayed us at the beginning and revealed the strategy of the great counteroffensive to the people of the Dajin Dynasty, the main palace... Got it. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Ze's originally gentle face was instantly replaced by coldness, and there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

Originally, that battle was a battle for the turnaround of the Da Yue Dynasty, but due to the betrayal of the traitors, they suffered a crushing defeat that they had never experienced before.

Nearly 300,000 sons died tragically, more than 100,000 sons were captured, and 100,000 sons were seriously injured and disabled, with a loss of more than 500,000!

If it weren't for the Mohe Army blocking the strategic gap of the Jin Army's southward outflanking in time, I'm afraid they would still be in danger of annihilation!

With such a sea of blood and hatred, how can he not be angry?

"Who is it?"

Li Hanxiang pointed to the guide and said coldly: "The former prince, the current lord of Dayue, Li Jiuye!" ”

Zhu Ze was shocked, and his whole person was like being struck by lightning, and his face suddenly turned pale.

But unexpectedly, there was not much unbelievable feeling in his heart.

Because he also pointed the finger of suspicion at Li Jiuye, but he didn't dare to continue thinking about it deeply.

After more than ten breaths of silence, Zhu Ze gritted his teeth and spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

"Princess, you... Is there any evidence? ”

Li Hanxiang didn't answer directly, but looked back at the man behind him.

"Xu Hua, come on."

Xu Hua took off the human skin mask on his face, then his knees weakened and he knelt down towards Zhu Ze.

"General, I'm... He was the core guest of the Prince's Mansion at the beginning, and almost all of the disgraceful things of the prince were handed over to me to do. ”

"Before the great counteroffensive, the prince instructed me to leak part of the plan and deployment of the great counteroffensive to the people of the Great Golden Pixiu Guard, and met with Meng Po, the captain of the Pixiu Guard."

After speaking, Xu Hua knocked his forehead to the ground and began to cry.

"General, I don't want to, I'm a Dayue person, and I can't bear to kill hundreds of thousands of loyal and brave soldiers. But I can't help it, my family and life are all in the hands of the prince......"

Zhu Ze stood still, his body was like a volcano about to erupt, making the air in the room a little viscous.

At this moment, Zhu Ze was completely hesitant, he didn't know what he should do.

It is said that for the executioner who killed hundreds of thousands of loyal and brave sons, he longed to cut it with a thousand knives!

However, that person is the original crown prince, the current Emperor Dayue, and the object of his allegiance!

Looking at Zhu Ze, who looked struggling, Li Hanxiang pursed her lips and threw another blow to the bomb.

"General, do you know why your father is Bintian?"

Zhu Ze looked up at Li Hanxiang, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

Facing Zhu Ze's extremely uncalm eyes, Li Hanxiang nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, my father was also murdered by Li Jiuye! He secretly colluded with Concubine Xia to poison his father in an alternative way and took his father's life! ”

"Not long ago, Concubine Xia had been killed by him. But what he didn't know was that Concubine Xia had revealed the matter to a confidant of the palace before she died. ”

Zhu Ze was suddenly dizzy, and his body shook for a while.

"How so, how can it be ......"

Looking at Zhu Ze, who was lost and depressed, constantly shaking his head and muttering softly, Li Hanxiang couldn't bear it, but she still gritted her teeth and continued.

"The revenge of the tragic death of the general, the father and the emperor and hundreds of thousands of sons must be avenged!"

"The Great Xia soldiers are strong and strong, and they can help us avenge this great revenge!"

"It's just that now Dayue is already full of holes, and after revenge, it will be even more chaotic. Therefore, this palace wants to merge Dayue into Daxia, I wonder if the general can help me? ”

Zhu Ze's lips trembled slightly, and there were disbelief, anger, and sadness in his eyes, but in the end, they all turned into a long sigh......
