Wu Shixun would never have imagined that he would be greeted by fierce artillery fire, shells exploding beside him, the explosion sound was deafening, and the scene was terrible.

Kang Le's people were terrified, and they scattered and fled, and even Wu Shixun couldn't restrain him, so he had to flee to a place where he could see under the protection of the generals. At this time, it was before dawn, when it was darkest, and they were not familiar with the road, and they were touching everything. It was easy to break out of the range of artillery fire, and as soon as he gained a foothold, a group of people surrounded him, and before he could resist, he was captured.

Lu Xinghe here, he has already received good news from all sides, looking at a fire that has just been extinguished, and another fire that is burning, he can't help but raise his fist high: "The enemy has been destroyed"!

Huge cheers resounded through the valley, and they forgot to celebrate, completely forgetting that there was still a battle ahead.

After dawn, Lu Xinghe returned to Dayan Harbor and set up camp. At this time, all the military horses had arrived. Shangshan Port Guard General Dongyue Feng, Qingliu Port Guard General Qu Bi Awu, Daimyo Port Guard General Bai Jingting, Chaotou Port Guard General Tu Yue, and Dayan Port Guard General Yudaozong.

The three teams of Dongyue Feng, Qubi Awu and Yudao Sect all won a big victory in this battle. Bai Jingting and Tu Yueyue's two armies did not meet the enemy, so Lu Xinghe asked them to reorganize their men and horses, go to pursue Jiang Jinfu, and find Wu Shixun's whereabouts.

Jiang Jinfu's troops were soon found, they were already lost dogs, and they were rushed by two groups of men and horses, and they were rushed to pieces, and Jiang Jinfu was also captured alive. The rest of the generals, big and small, died and fled, 15,000 men and horses, all of which were consumed in less than three days, and the whereabouts of the main general Wu Shixun were also unknown.

This was the third victory of the Dondorians in five years, and unlike the attack on Sangan and Dragonstone, this time it was the invaders who were eliminated, not the aggressors. Moreover, it is also the most destroyed enemy in the three battles, according to the figures reported by Lu Xinghe, at least more than 9,000 Kangle people were eliminated, the generals Jiang Jinfu and Zhu Bishi were shown to the public, and the rest of the generals, captains, etc., were not spared.

When the news reached the front line on the Western Front, the morale of the troops was greatly boosted. At the same time, reinforcements from the Iron Staff of the Wheat Iron Staff also arrived at their destination. After they joined forces with Medivan, Medivan relinquished command and was given full command by McIronstaff.

Everything was moving in favor of the Dondor, which made the lone army sail deep into the distance, and he reported to the imperial court and asked for support while reorganizing his army and preparing for battle.

On the day he arrived, Mai Tiezhu learned about the situation from Medivan and knew that his opponent was strong, but he relied on his superiority in strength and planned to have a head-on decisive battle with Lu Yuanhang.

"This matter must be cautious", Lin Shidong is now only with the army as a former staff officer, and he and the left capital imperial history are simple in words and deeds, and the right capital imperial history Pei Yuanqing, together form a think tank of Mai Tiecane. Now seeing that the wheat iron rod was anxious to fight, he hurriedly dissuaded it.

"Aiqing, please speak", Mai Tiezhuan adopted the opinions of all parties in an attitude of humility.

"Your Majesty is here in person, the morale is high, and it stands to reason that he should enter the army, but Lu Yuan's aerospace is a famous general, good at using soldiers, and it is a continuous victory, and its edge is sharp. Once the army is engaged, there is no guarantee of victory. If there is a setback, the western front will not be guaranteed. The minister thinks that it is better to stick to it. The reason why he stationed troops in Qipan Town and did not advance quickly was that once the supplies were sufficient, he would inevitably sprint with all his strength in order to attack Kyoto in the shortest possible time. The enemy is good for a quick battle, and our army is good for slowing down. If Your Majesty ascends the city and refuses to defend it, he will hold on for time to frustrate his spirit, and he will not be able to fight, and he will be attacked by me when he retreats, and he will not be able to advance or retreat."

The words and deeds of the left capital imperial history and the right capital imperial history Pei Yuanqing also supported his suggestion, but the general Medivan did not think so, he glanced at a few people contemptuously, and then said: "It is true that the enemy army has won consecutive battles, but it is also the case, its division is old, and the Kangle people have just lost on the southern front, and the enemy will inevitably lose heart when he hears it, so why not attack it if he hesitates?" Once the other army's heart is settled, how will Kangle reinforce it again? In the humble opinion of the ministers, it is right to hit it".

Mai Tiezhu looked at Dendrobium and Tu Su, they were important ministers in the court, and the weight of their words was naturally different. However, the two men knew very little about military affairs, and now they heard both sides make sense, and they could not judge which plan was more beneficial. It's just that the wheat iron rod used them, and they couldn't turn a blind eye, the two of them glanced at each other, and decided that it was still solved by Dendrobium.

"According to the will of the minister, you can attack first and then defend."

Seeing that he said something in his heart, Mai Tiezhu immediately said, "Aiqing might as well talk about it in detail."

"The strength of the enemy, General Mai naturally knows, he said that he can be attacked, there must be a reason for attacking. If you win the attack, you can take advantage of the momentum, sweep away the filth, and clean the world. It is not too late to prevail."

These words were high-sounding, and they won the heart of the wheat iron rod, which naturally caused a burst of praise, Lin Shidong wanted to say more, and was secretly pulled by Dendrobium, and then he understood and said no more. In this way, the decision to engage in war was set, and the appointed date was only awaited.

"Why didn't my father-in-law let me speak just now"? After leaving the General's Mansion, Lin Shidong followed Dendrobium to his lower place and asked puzzledly.

"Do you know why Your Majesty wants to drive the expedition this time?" Dendrobium drank tea, looked at him, and said meaningfully.

Lin Shidong saw that he asked strangely, and couldn't help but be curious: "Isn't it because there is no one in the court and has to do it?"

"Too young"! Dendrobium shook his head and continued: "There is a huge Dongduo, there is no one, a general can still be elected, how can there be no one"?

"But didn't you also say that there is no suitable candidate"?

"That's exactly the problem, there's no right person, it's not that there's no one available." Seeing that he still didn't understand, he reminded him: "Xihai Hou Zhao Donglou, Huaiyang Hou Kong Lianshun, and Zuo General Qu Weiran, which of them can't take on this heavy responsibility"?

Lin Shidong thought about it, sure enough, although Zhao Donglou is nearly sixty years old, he is in excellent health, deaf and clear-sighted, and he is the former chief of the guard of Lu Xinghe, and he should be foolproof if he commands the troops. Huaiyang Hou Kong Lianshun, who is only fifty years old, is also a general. He once followed Lu Xinghe to rescue Mingsha Mountain, the Battle of Sanggan and the Battle of Longshi Fort, all of which made meritorious achievements. He is now stationed in the camp of Jingbei and is responsible for the security of the capital. Zuo General Qu Weiran is even younger, only forty-one years old, and he is a resolute, heroic and resolute general. He also participated in the Battle of Sangan, and during the Battle of Dragonstone Fort, he was the first to enter the battle. These are all well-known and capable figures, and it is indeed a little unreasonable to say without them.

"But Your Majesty still didn't use them"?

"Not only did they not be used, but no one mentioned them in internal meetings, you say, isn't it strange"? This was the first time he had revealed to others what was going on in the inner court, and it was also the first time he had a sense of political crisis.

"So, everyone doesn't want them to get involved in this matter"? Lin Shidong still didn't understand, after all, he had just entered this circle, and he didn't know how deep the water was in.

"It's just a superficial thing, and on a deeper level, I think they're going to prop up McGregory."

This conclusion not only shocked Lin Shidong, but Dendrobium was also shocked when he speculated about this step. The two of them were silent for a long time before Lin Shidong stumbled and said, "Do they want to ...... the chief guard?" Speaking of which, he didn't dare to go any further.

"That's not it", Dendrobium patted Lin Shidong's hand and calmed him down: "They can't do anything to Lu Xinghe now, but he gave them a sense of crisis." He has a high position and great ability, which makes the Mai family have to guard against him, as for Tu Su, it may be the same as me, and he intends to protect himself."

"Are they planning to make McGregory the successor to the chief of the guard? However, his ability is limited and he is not the best choice."

"That's why you say you're too young", Dendrobium smiled bitterly: "How can ability be so important?" As long as you put him in that position, you will naturally have that ability. Does he have the ability to lead troops into battle? No, but let him lead the troops to the battle, and he will be a general. What should I do if I can't beat someone? Your Majesty's personal support will be enough. If you think about it, it would have been a person for a long time since the whole country was raised, and it was not an easy thing to do? Not to mention making a man, it is not difficult to make a god."

"What if it fails? If it fails, it will be doomed."

"The memory of ordinary people will not last so long, and failure is only the failure of McGregory alone, and the Mai family can cultivate another one."

Lin Shidong suddenly felt like he had stepped into an abyss, and it was impossible to get out.
