The first day of the dogfight.

The dragon king issued an ultimatum, asking the kings' armies to surrender before dark, remove their royal titles, and wait for the new Khan king to re-enthrone the seal.

In order to distinguish it from the melee that took place on the night of the old Khan's ascension, the second melee was later called the "Battle of the Full Moon", indicating that it was a month after the old Khan left the world.

The army was divided into ten 10,000 troops, five of which swept the ruins of the Dragon Court, and the other five marched in different directions, with the goal of conquering as far as hundreds of miles.

Shulitu's 30,000 cavalry were also put into the Longting battlefield as a reserve force.

The surviving kings quickly defected to the Shengyue King, waving the banner of "Five Kings", with a force of about 50,000 or 60,000 people.

The close servants showed great strength, but also showed the immaturity of the newly elected officers, who defeated an equal number of enemies and suffered thousands of their own losses, until the 30,000 reserve army attacked after dark, and the enemy army was completely crushed.

Gu Shenwei watched the battle, but did not participate in it himself, the red-topped Dapeng stood beside him, and every time he took off, he caused a frenzy of attacks.

This victory was not decisive, and although the army of the king of Shengyue was defeated one after another, abandoning the large camp near the ruins, and retreating dozens of miles to re-encamp, it still retained the size of tens of thousands of people.

In the name of Shu Litu, the Dragon King finally occupied the entire Dragon Court, and a large number of corpses were added to the ruins.

After returning to the camp, Shulitu was quieter than usual, took off his armor, and retired early, in books and stories, he had seen more tragic scenes of war, but no amount of wonderful words, no matter how rich his imagination was, could not compare with the bloody reality.

It takes time for him to come to terms with all this.

Fang Wen didn't go to watch the battle, he had a set of sayings: I am a strategist, I can't see too much blood, whether I am afraid or sympathetic, it will affect my judgment in the future.

But he thinks that the dragon king and Shulitu should go to the battlefield in person, adhering to a different set of sayings: the king has to be ruthless, he can't even bear the slightest killing scene, how can he control the life and death of a country or even the world?

Fang Wen was satisfied with today's results, "The Holy King is about to be unable to hold on, if he can defeat the kings in the Dragon Court, our army will greatly occupy the advantage, and if there is another battle tomorrow, the kings will definitely surrender." ”

"I can't fight tomorrow. Gu Shenwei said.

"Why?" Fang Wen was slightly surprised, "The Saint King refused to fight, so he let the close servants attack, they are very warlike now, and it is the most useful time." ”

"The Holy King will hold on, and our soldiers also need to rest. ”

Fang Wen was even more surprised, although some things were not explicitly stated, he believed that the Dragon King was an understanding person, "Isn't this better?"

Driving a tired army to attack a war-fearing soldier is a good way to lose both.

"You don't want the whole army to be suspicious, do you?"

"Of course not. Fang Wen hesitated for a moment, "Okay, it's okay to rest for a day or two." Dragonlord, you won't ...... I know it's hard, you used to be known for standing up for your subordinates, but now you're ......."

"Two days off to start the war, is there any news from the southeast?"

"Not yet, but I think it's going to be soon, and we'll have to fight quickly. ”

The army of the Dragon Court is far from the full strength of the North Court, not even the majority, and the real army is displayed on the border in the southeast, ready to start a decisive battle with the Central Plains.

Since the death of the old Khan, the movement of the border has been in the spotlight, and now it has been a month, but the news is pitiful, Gu Shenwei only knows that there is chaos on the border, as for who is the final winner and beneficiary, it is not yet known.

Fang Wen was retired, and as soon as he came out of the tent, he saw a small group of people coming over, all of them ignored when they passed by him, he thought about it, followed behind and stepped into the tent again, but was unceremoniously invited out by two officers.

There were eleven people in total, the leader was Xiao Yan, and the followers were all young officers, including Azheba and Liman, who had just been reused.

Gu Shenwei intended to integrate the army, so he merged several camps into one large camp, and the camp of the Xiao Yan clan was surrounded in it, becoming a camp within a camp.

Seeing these people, Gu Shenwei guessed their general purpose.

The officers saluted respectfully to the Dragon King, but the little clan looked uncharacteristically arrogant.

Xiao Yan was dissatisfied with the ultimatum issued by the dragon king, she was willing to see the kings surrender, and she wanted to see another outcome, "The dragon king seems to be about to forget about Prince Dotun. ”

These eleven people are the backbone of Dotun in the Dragon Court, and they are also the first group of people to throw themselves into the Dragon King.

"The time has not come. Gu Shenwei stood in front of the table and answered Xiao Yan's question in just four words.

"What does the dragon king think is the right time? Now that the kings have failed, it is just right to ask them to recognize Prince Dotun as the new Khan, and if they don't mention it at this time, I am afraid that there will be no better chance in the future. ”

Xiao Yan's performance was substandard, and after handing over her cavalry, she seemed to have lost confidence and lost her unique bold and straightforward temperament.

Gu Shenwei suddenly remembered the old Khan's judgment on her: Xiao Yan fell in love with Prince Dotun, and this incident itself was a punishment for her.

Gu Shenwei softened his tone and explained seriously: "The Dragon Court is only a small battlefield, the bigger battlefield is the entire grassland, the chaos on the southeast border is likely to be over, and there will be a truly powerful enemy there, and he is the time for Prince Dodun." Only the descendants of the Khan, who won the future war, can become the undisputed new Khan, and the current recognition of the kings has nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, obviously carefully weighing the Dragon King's words, "You will hand over the army to Prince Dotun?"

"If you don't unite, no one is the opponent of the strong in the southeast. ”

"But...... I think it's important to let the soldiers know about Prince Dotun's existence, and I don't want them to change their allegiances for no reason. ”

Gu Shenwei swept over the faces of the eleven people in turn, "I only have a one-sided relationship with Prince Dodun, and I don't know much about him, but you made me believe in him, so if he is really qualified to become the Khan King as you say, he will not achieve nothing at this moment." ”

As with the southeastern border, there is very little news from the Western Regions, and no one knows whether Dotun has controlled the more than 100,000 cavalry stranded in the Western Regions.

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed even more obviously, and her wariness of the Dragon King was extremely high.

"I think the Dragon King's words make sense, we don't want to 'send' an army to Prince Dotun, he has the ability to win the allegiance of the steppe cavalry, and he won't lose to a teenager no matter what." ”

"I'm afraid that Prince Dotun will face more than just children in the future. Xiao Yan stared at the Dragon King, the situation changed too drastically, relying on the Dapeng Bird that fell from the sky, the Dragon King suddenly had a hint of a god surname, which made her feel a huge threat.

The descendants of non-Khan princes cannot inherit the throne, but if they use the power of ghosts and gods and use the banner of the old Khan King, who knows how many tricks the dragon king can make and how many people will admire?

"I think Prince Doddon should be far more capable than a child, after all, how much do you trust him?"

"The bravery and wit of Prince Dotun are unrivaled in the whole steppe. An officer rushed to say.

"Then what else do you have to worry about?" Gu Shen took a bite of "you", but his gaze kept stopping on Xiao Yan's face.

Xiao Yan suddenly laughed, became as sharp as before, turned his head and said to the ten officers: "Look, I just said that the dragon king is not easy to deal with, hehe, all of us together, it is not as good as one dragon king to help Prince Dotun, our vision is right." Dragon King, we believe not only in Prince Dotun, but also in you. ”

"It's an honor. Gu Shenwei was not too modest, but he felt that he should also make some concessions, "Prince Dodun's reputation is in your hands, as a foreigner, my recommendation is worthless, the army is here, those who are loyal to you today will transfer their loyalty to Prince Dodun in the future." ”

This means that Xiao Yan and the others can promote the reputation of Prince Dotun at will without any hindrance.

When it was time to say goodbye, Xiao Yan completely returned to normal, and seemed to be extremely satisfied with this meeting.

Azheba stayed behind under the pretext of reporting the military situation, and he has now become one of the main generals, and has made a name for himself with his amazing archery skills.

Fang Wen seized the opportunity to walk in, pretending to be looking for something in the pile of paper on the table, and listened intently to the conversation between the two.

When Azheba saw the military advisor, he didn't particularly care, because he knew that many of the dragon king's methods were the ideas of this white fat man.

He is even more straightforward than Xiao Yan.

"I thought the Dragon King was a hero, but now I'm a little skeptical. ”

Fang Wen almost couldn't hold back, wanting to turn his face and see how the Dragon King dealt with this blatant offense, but he could only listen, the Dragon King didn't squeak, as if encouraging Azheba to continue, which surprised the military advisor.

"When I heard that the Dragon King had risen up for a dozen of his men surrounded by thousands of troops, I thought this must be a commander who was loved by the soldiers, and I thought he was a wise man when you were in the camp to help us deal with the crisis, and when you challenged the Great Shaman in front of the two armies, I thought he was a true king. ”

Azheba tried his best to control the emotions in his tone, but his anger still rose involuntarily, he has never been good at figuring out his intentions, and today he has to for tat to brush the tiger's whiskers, "But today's battle has disappointed me very much, does the Dragon King plan to completely get rid of the close servants with a series of wars? They have just pledged their allegiance to you, and they fought bloody battles on the battlefield without a trace of hesitation from beginning to end." The dragon king is burying his followers with his own hands. ”

Fang Wen was anxious, coughed a few times, and signaled the dragon king to immediately forbid Azheba to continue, conspiracy is conspiracy, can't talk about it publicly, this reckless general has committed a big taboo.

But he was not only surprised, but also disappointed, the dragon king actually behaved very weakly, and his tone was even more relaxed than usual, "If you have anything else, you can say it." ”

Azheba gasped, and the dragon king's attitude gave him nowhere to vent his anger, and whispered, "No, I just want to know what the dragon king is going to do with the close servants who are still alive." ”

It can't be said that Fang Wen is secret path in his heart, and when he heard the sound of the Dragon King drawing his sword, he was overjoyed.
