Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

On the city wall, the defenders were resting on the wall stacks, and their morale seemed a bit low. Although they had achieved a small victory today, the enemy's crazy attack still left them with lingering fears. Moreover, the resources in the city were almost exhausted in one day. According to the reconnaissance report of the hot air balloon, there is still a steady stream of enemy troops behind.

If you want to completely defeat them, judging from the current situation, it is simply impossible to achieve it. Suddenly, a soldier hurried to the top of the city tower, found the city guard general who was panting, and asked: "Have the statistics of casualties and supplies been completed?" The soldier replied solemnly: "It has been completed. , we lost one thousand and thirty-six people." The general who defended the city punched the wall angrily and yelled: "Damn it!"

Despite such thorough preparations, more than a thousand people died in the defense of the city! They have tried their best, which shows how crazy the enemy is. I just don’t know how many people died on the other side?
"How much city defense supplies are left?!"

The guard asked hurriedly again.

The soldier replied: "There are less than 10,000 arrows left, and some brothers have gone down to collect them. But there are not many thunder stones and rolling logs left."

"No! They are of little value anymore. We don't know when the enemy will attack again. Moreover, our brothers are already injured. It's not worth it if they get touched by gold juice." said the defending general. , "By the way, how much golden juice is left?"

"It's all been used up, but it's being re-prepared." The guard said with tears, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. If this battle can be successful, the boss said everyone will be rewarded!"

"According to the previous agreement, the reinforcements sent by His Majesty should arrive in the evening. Go and meet them quickly! We don't have much supplies anymore, and whether we can hold on to this city depends entirely on them."

As night gradually fell, the two teams took advantage of the darkness to sneak into Sanshang Pass. The people who came were none other than the two generals sent by Emperor Jingjiang - Wu Xiaosong and Yang Xiaoguo. The two of them went straight to the city gate, while the other troops stationed themselves on the spot. When the generals guarding the city saw that the reinforcements had finally arrived, they were overjoyed. They quickly stood up to greet them and said, "Two generals, you are finally here! Our city defense supplies are almost exhausted. Do you have enough supplies?" "Wu Xiaosong nodded and asked: "What's the current situation of the battle?" The guard replied: "The Xixia soldiers are rushing forward as hard as they can, and the exact number of corpses is still unclear! It feels like there should be no less than 10,000 people. If we hadn't received the news in advance, it would have been difficult for us to resist their attack today. "Well, they have to fight hard now, because they only have this one chance," Wu Xiaosong said. , "There will definitely be less and less behind the Thunder Stone Rolling Wood. So what we have to do now is to demolish all the people's houses as soon as possible and use them as city defense materials." "We must give up the Sanshang Pass, and they must also Move out. So it is most convenient for us to use local materials." He added, "Let your brothers go down first and let them guard the city gate. His Majesty has told us that Battelle has a hot air balloon in his hand. Attack at night, attack from both inside and outside." The general guarding the city asked in surprise: "Aren't they going to attack again tonight?" Wu Xiaosong replied, "But it should be so. , we have to change our people to defend first. Your people will arrange other things. It won't be too late to change shifts after they have rested." The general guarding the city said quickly: "I will make arrangements right away. I have a question, why does your Majesty have to fight on the Pancha Plain? Can't we just stop the enemy from attacking outside the pass? We obviously have such ability, we just need to use explosives, but why doesn't anyone attack? Your Majesty made such a suggestion?" Wu Xiaosong smiled slightly and said, "You mean to defend the city? Based on Battle's tactics today, do you think the two city gates can stop him if we fight head-on? If they don't do it, the opponent's morale will definitely be lost. If we pursue them directly, we can reduce a lot of casualties. "Besides, the whole army wants to test the power of the artillery in actual combat." Your Majesty made such a suggestion? "The most important thing is that Mr. Lin has been kidnapped, and your Majesty is angry. He said that he would break Xixia's back in person!"

······························································································ ··
That evening, after a short rest, the Xixia army pounced on Guancheng again like tigers. Dots of fire gradually approached in the night, as if the determination and strength of the Xixia Army were burning in the darkness. Wu Xiaosong, the heroic general who guards the city wall, shoulders the important task of guarding the rear together with Yang Xiaoguo's troops.

During the day, the Xixia army used trebuchets to bombard Guancheng from a distance. The nearby houses were shattered under the fierce attack of Xixia, and the people hurriedly avoided the attack of flying rocks. As the number of empty houses increased, the rear troops began to demolish these ruins to prepare military supplies and send military supplies to the city walls. At the same time, they imitated the Xixia army and quickly assembled trebuchets to fight back.

However, the darkness of the night blurred the view and the hot air balloon lost its usefulness in the air. Sanshangguan is mainly for defense. The number of hot air balloons is limited and mainly used for observation. Therefore, on this dark night battlefield, the battle returns to the traditional way of war.

Under the skillful control of Xixia soldiers, the ladder once again hooked the city wall of Sanshangguan, and a bloody battle began again at the top of the city. In the darkness of the city, a dozen hot air balloons took advantage of the chaos of the night to quietly land in the city carrying dozens of Xixia elite soldiers. However, as soon as these heavily armed Xixia soldiers landed, they were quickly surrounded. They were panicked and at a loss what to do. Wu Xiaosong led hundreds of people to swarm up. Under the firelight, they looked at the hot air balloon and couldn't help but feel shocked.

Battelle was so cunning that he covered the hot air balloon with black cloth, leaving only a gap for observation. Fortunately, there were a large number of defenders, and the whole army was on guard against enemies from the sky, otherwise the Xixia army might really sneak into the city. Although these dozens of people are not large in number, if they are allowed to climb the city wall, they will become a serious problem.

Yang Xiaoguo smiled grimly and ordered: "Leave no one behind! Stay the hot air balloons!" The roars of tens of thousands of people broke through the silence of the night. On the city wall, the fire kept falling until dawn. The Xixia soldiers attacked without stopping, and the soldiers on the city took turns to defend their positions. Battle was observing the battle situation not far away and sighed secretly in his heart. He looked at the failed hot air balloon tactic and thought to himself, this was reasonable. After all, this was the opponent's first tactic, and they might be more comfortable using it.

"Your Majesty, we have run out of stones nearby, and the trebuchet is temporarily unusable." Urige suddenly reported. "Why did it run out so quickly?" Battelle frowned and asked in surprise, "Continue to send people to look for stones. The trebuchet cannot stop." "There is no way out now. Sanshangguan must be taken. We must continue to fight. , even if one hundred thousand people are sacrificed!” “I’ll do it right away.”

After several days of fierce fighting, corpses were everywhere in front of Sanshang Pass, and the corridors of the city wall were covered with blood. Sanshangguan is still standing, and the soldiers still stick to their posts. However, the faces of all the soldiers showed unprecedented fatigue. They had never experienced such a crazy attack, and the constant fighting day and night made them exhausted. Even Wu Xiaosong and Yang Xiaoguo, who have experienced many battles, were shocked by this. Fortunately, the Xixia Army had just retreated for the second time.

Wu Xiaosong and Yang Xiaoguo looked at the corpses everywhere under the city with solemn expressions. Wu Xiaosong said seriously: "We can't hold on anymore, we should consider retreating." Yang Xiaoguo hesitated: "Let's take a look at the situation. Battelle is withdrawing his troops at this time. I don't know what he has up his sleeve. He has been changing his tactics in the past two days. "We should know more about it." "The more he changes his tactics, the more it will cost us to defend. The city has been emptied, and our morale has been depleted." ." Wu Xiaosong pointed casually. Yang Xiaoguo followed his hand and saw a group of city defenders sitting together with numb expressions on their faces. Although they are now barely maintaining their winning streak, the psychological pressure is obvious. Without backup, it was obviously no longer possible to continue to hold on. Yang Xiaoguo looked up at the sky solemnly and said, "Well, let's evacuate the whole army while their hot air balloon is not there. Destroy everything that cannot be taken away!"

In the Chinese army tent, there was a cloud of sadness, but Battelle remained expressionless. Although he had been psychologically prepared for the difficulty of siege, the intense consumption during the actual battle still made him find it difficult to accept. Guancheng has not yet been conquered, and the army has already suffered tens of thousands of casualties. However, the good news is not without them. The opponent's city defense supplies seem to be running out. Now all we need to do is attack hard! An unprecedented fierce attack should be able to take down the Sanshang Pass! "Your Majesty, why have you withdrawn your troops again?" No one spoke, so Wurige couldn't help but ask. "Morale is low. But the situation of the battle has become clear. The Jingjiang soldiers guarding the city are no longer able to resist, and their follow-up supplies are also insufficient." "We must capture Sanshangguan within two days! This time we are recalling everyone to mobilize again. Work. In the next round of siege, we must take down the city wall as soon as possible." "National Master, you can send an order to tell the soldiers: Our army only has two days of food reserves left! Let's all die together!" "Let's rest for two hours and attack the city again!" After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Urige looked stern and walked out of the tent quickly. Now is the last moment, there is no retreat! When the Xixia soldiers who had been fully mobilized launched a final general attack on Sanshang Pass like a tide! Aerial ladders were transported rapidly on the battlefield, and the soldiers shouted slogans in unison. After a while, the city wall was covered with ladders, and Xixia soldiers began to climb up the ladders one by one. However, when they climbed up the wall, they found the city empty. The Xixia soldiers who had climbed up the city wall stood on it blankly, at a loss. Battle and Uzhge watched their soldiers climb onto the city wall one by one and stood there blankly. They both slowly opened their mouths at the same time. What was going on? Did he abandon the city and flee? It shouldn’t be! At such an important pass, which garrison would dare to abandon the city and flee? Escape is a dead end! Before he could think too much, a soldier ran back panting and reported: "Your Majesty! They have abandoned the city and fled, and there is no one in the city!" Wurige was shocked, reacted quickly, and said with great joy: " Congratulations, Your Majesty! This general guarding the city is really mediocre! They must have been frightened by the power of our army, so they ran away with a look of disbelief on their face! Expression, he couldn't help but touch his face twice, feeling as if he had fallen into the clouds. He looked at the top of the city again and saw that it was already occupied by Xixia troops, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became wider and wider. It turns out that they really escaped! "Hahaha, the guard is incompetent, God helps me!"

In Sarlan City, a city that is always shrouded in gloom and gloom, it is hard to find anyone on the streets. Ever since the explosion at the General's Mansion that shocked the whole city, Taldali keenly captured the turn of fate. His operation was unusually smooth. Kosilechna's men were like blind men and elephants in the military camp, knowing nothing about the truth of the assassination. With a carefully forged military order, Taldali took over the military camp without any effort, and even generously doubled the general's salary, winning the favor of the soldiers.

He teamed up with Lin Xiaofeng to search for food in the city, secretly manipulated prices, and looted everything outside the city, while a large number of people, livestock, and various materials gathered in the city. It's all under their control.

Although the news of the sudden death of an important minister of Xixia was strictly blocked, Lin Xiaofeng's invitation quickly spread among the crowd as if it had wings. Officials from all ethnic groups were shocked when they heard this great change. However, Taldali holds the military power and has decisively captured several small officials who resisted, making others dare not act rashly. The king is away fighting again, and no one can solve this dilemma. Everyone can only wait for the opportunity. The officials watched helplessly as Tardali soldiers occupied the granary and bank vault of the deceased official, but they were helpless and filled with helplessness and anger.

People in the city were complaining, prices were soaring, and the prices of daily necessities had increased tenfold! Before Battle's army was mobilized, the people's food had been looted. Many people had no food to eat and their lives were in trouble. Today, only big families and big grain merchants still have grain to sell. The small clans were trembling and did not dare to act rashly, while the big families and grain merchants were firmly controlled by Taldari. Vicious incidents such as robbery, arson, and theft occurred one after another, making the situation increasingly chaotic. However, all this is gradually approaching the planned node in Lin Xiaofeng's heart.

One day, a huge stage suddenly rose up on the busiest main road in Sarlang City. It almost occupied the entire width of the street, and traffic was interrupted. The bottom of the stage was filled with various supplies. Houses on the streets were also temporarily requisitioned to store things. Lin Xiaofeng inspected every detail on the construction site. Taldali was with him. He couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, do we really need such a big place? Will it have to be demolished in the future?" Lin Xiaofeng nodded affirmatively and replied: "Yes, it is very necessary. This is the best place to gather people. You chose to give your first speech here. As for whether to demolish it in the future, we will discuss it in the long term." After saying that, he looked at Tardali: "The speech I gave you yesterday How are you preparing?" Taldali replied hesitantly, "It's okay." Lin Xiaofeng frowned and said, "It's okay? You're going to face thousands of people. You must try your best to show your kingly aura and leadership style when giving a speech. If you don't have such temperament, you need to continue to practice. You should go back and think about every action and tone of every sentence I write. Realize it carefully. You still have one day to prepare.”

Lin Xiaofeng's pursuit of perfection is now so demanding that he does not allow any mistakes. If Taldali does not have enough control over the masses, he is worried that something will happen when Battle sends troops back to the city. After listening to Lin Xiaofeng's words, Taldali nodded to express his understanding, but he still asked with hesitation: "Thousands of people? Will there really be so many people coming?" Lin Xiaofeng glanced at him sideways and saw his hesitant look and said: "I have sent soldiers to inform people door to door. People all over the world like to watch the excitement and there will be people watching every move. You are the sixth prince and you should have confidence in yourself." Taldali smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just a little nervous. Afraid of saying the wrong thing." Lin Xiaofeng sighed: "Why are you nervous? You used to follow the rules in your life, but now the situation has changed." Then he talked about his own experience and encouraged Tardali to let go. Be timid.

Finally, in the afternoon one day later, it was time for a public speech to the people. If it weren't for the subsequent procedures, Lin Xiaofeng would prefer to do it at night because by that time people's energy has been almost exhausted and they are more likely to be driven by emotion and moved by the speaker's words. However, considering that insufficient lighting may cause chaos and safety issues, we finally chose to conduct it during the day.

A large number of people had gathered in front and behind the huge stage. They came to watch and wanted to see the Sixth Prince and hear what he had to say. The huge stage, which took two days to build, certainly aroused great curiosity and anticipation. The common people were notified one day in advance that there would be a wonderful show today, but the specific content was unknown. They only knew that the Sixth Prince would appear in person, which triggered a lot of speculation and discussion among the people, and everyone wanted to find out.

Tardali, dressed in military uniform and surrounded by soldiers, walked straight into the center of the stage. The audience suddenly fell silent and all eyes were focused on him. There was a microphone position in the center of the stage, and a huge speaker was placed on it to facilitate the sound to spread better so that everyone present could hear clearly what he was saying. The soldiers immediately began to drive the people to the periphery to watch to maintain order and order at the scene. An open space was also left on the edge of the safety stage for the actors to perform. Three soldiers each held a wooden board and stood in three positions: left, center, and right, with their backs to the people and facing Taldali so as to provide him with necessary tips at any time. And help. This is the "teleprompter" specially set up by Lin Xiaofeng to prevent Taldali from making mistakes. He only came up with this method yesterday and temporarily prepared these wooden boards for Tardali to give a speech according to the prompts on the wooden boards in the hands of the soldiers to ensure that the entire process was foolproof. When everything was ready, Lin Xiaofeng made a gesture and the audience became quiet again. All eyes were focused on Tardali in the center of the stage, looking forward to his wonderful performance. Taldali took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down his excitement. After seeing Lin Xiaofeng's signal, he straightened his waist and walked to the loudspeaker. He gently pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet. Gradually, the people began to quiet down. Taldali spoke. Said: "Today, we stand here, standing on the land of the Xixia capital, this land that our ancestors have watered with blood and dignity..."

In this land full of vitality, there lives a group of persevering people, and it is they who make up this great nation of ours. Taldali's voice echoed in the wilderness like spring thunder.

He looked around, frowning, and showing deep pain on his face, "But my heart is hurting because our compatriots are suffering, they are struggling in hunger and cold. Our national pride is being weakened, and people's Dignity is being trampled upon.”

He turned around suddenly and pointed his finger directly at the splendid Xixia Palace, "Look at this magnificent palace. Every brick and stone of it is soaked with the blood and sweat of our people. However, these kind people are now living like this Difficult situation!”

Taldali's voice gradually rose, and an uneasy commotion began to surge in the crowd, like a surging wave.

"Today, we are here discussing our suffering! Has the court finally realized it? Have the people in the palace finally seen our plight?" People looked at each other excitedly and rushed forward, wanting to hear more clearly. .

Tardali asked angrily: "Who makes our compatriots groan in humiliation? Who is trampling on our dignity?"

"Your Majesty and the warriors of the imperial court fought bloody battles on the battlefield to open up territory for Xixia. However, in our homeland, some people took the opportunity to oppress our compatriots!" His voice was filled with endless anger.

"I, Tardali, as a member of the royal family, will never allow such a thing to happen!" He declared righteously. Although he was the initiator of this suffering, at this moment his face only had determination and anger. , shame has long been left behind.

"Okay!" Thunderous applause sounded, and people's faces were filled with excitement and surprise.

The court finally realized the problem and began to look for a solution!
"They treat our compatriots as lambs to be slaughtered and exploit them at will. They raise the price of food and sell it to us at a higher price!" Tardali's voice trembled with anger.

"In order to satisfy their greedy desires, they will do anything to satisfy their greedy desires. However, all our compatriots want is just a mouthful of food and a place to live!"

"Now, one cake has risen to five taels of silver! We can no longer remain silent, and I, Taldali, can no longer stand by and watch." His voice was as firm and powerful as steel.

"If they want to be superior to our compatriots, they must get through me first! I will defend the lifeline of Xixia and the dignity of the country to the death."

"This kind of dignity cannot be obtained by begging and protesting, but can only be achieved through a struggle of iron and blood!" Taldali clenched his fists and spoke impassionedly, his excitement beyond words.

Lin Xiaofeng in the audience planned the movements simultaneously. Seeing him perform so immersedly, I felt a little comforted.

The audience roared angrily, and their emotions were completely ignited. They had suffered from hunger and cold for a long time, and now under the leadership of the Sixth Prince, they finally found an outlet to vent their anger. All the grievances and anger came to my heart.

Taldali was deeply affected by the turbulent shouts from the audience. His face still maintained an angry expression, but his heart was already surging. His every move can trigger enthusiastic responses from the audience, as if the sound is like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. This unprecedented feeling made him as majestic and sacred as a god descending at this moment!
"Who is killing our innocent compatriots? Who is secretly manipulating the price of food?" Taldali's voice was as shocking as thunder, "After our investigation, the culprits are those Xixia court officials who were corrupted by money. "

"Bring these beasts who are causing harm to our compatriots!" he ordered, and the soldiers escorted five people to the stage. The five people had their heads covered with black cloth and had things stuffed in their mouths, making them unable to make a sound. They were the few petty officials who questioned Taldali at the beginning, and they probably never expected that they would end up like today.

The audience stared at the people on the stage with hateful eyes and shouted in unison: "Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!" Amid the anger of the crowd, Tardali shouted: " Yes! I arrested them just to let the compatriots of Xixia witness their crimes. Anyone who dares to touch the minds of our compatriots is the enemy of Xixia! Anyone who dares to touch the jobs of our compatriots is me, Talda. The enemy of profit."

"Execution!!" He gave the order, and five knives were swung down at the same time. The light of the knife flashed past the criminal's neck, and his head fell to the ground. The audience's emotions reached their peak! All the anger and dissatisfaction were completely vented with the death of these unlucky ghosts.

Taldali was infected by the emotions of the audience. He really felt that he was eliminating harm for the people and was an upright hero! When he saw his compatriots in the audience cheering for him, he almost laughed out loud. But fortunately, Lin Xiaofeng frantically signaled in the audience that he couldn't laugh, because it would disrupt the overall rhythm. At his suggestion, Taldali came back to his senses and controlled his expression.

He glanced at the PPT that had been changed in the audience, then waved to the audience and said: "Although these rats are dead, your life is still very difficult. Therefore, what I have done is not enough."

"I have a dream. I hope that my compatriots in this country will no longer be oppressed by corrupt officials!" His voice was full of passion and the power of justice.

"I have a dream. I hope that there will be no more evil and sin in the land of Xixia, and that Sarlang City will become a symbol of justice and prosperity!" His dream resonated with the audience, and many people burst into tears.

The sixth prince didn't have much reputation before, but now he showed his kindness, thinking about his compatriots, and being so close to the people. Many people began to have this idea in their minds: How great would it be if he could become the emperor?
Taldali closed his eyes and spoke passionately. At this moment, he had completely entered the role, no longer nervous, but felt an unprecedented sense of relief. The manuscript he recited came out of his mouth like flowing water, with great ease. Lin Xiaofeng looked at him and felt a little envious. This "I Have a Dream" speech was prepared by him, but now it is used by a novice. It is really a waste. It would be great if this speech could become a classic in the history books!
"I dream that one day, the valleys will rise, the mountains will fall, the twists and turns will become smooth roads, and all compatriots will be able to control their own destiny." Tardali's tone became deep and fascinating.

His voice became passionate again: "This dream is not far away from us, because starting from today, we must work hard to realize it!"

"Those officials who oppressed their compatriots must pay for their crimes with their own flesh and blood! Those things that were taken from us must be returned double!" His voice was full of determination and anger.

"I have ordered people to search the properties of these traitors and seize all the grain and silver from their homes." He continued, "I, Taldali, swear again! The days when our compatriots are without food and silver are over! Today, I will open the warehouse, release food, and distribute money and food to the compatriots in the city for free!"

"As long as I, Tardali, am here, even if I only have one mouthful of food to eat, I will never let my compatriots suffer from cold and hunger again!" His words made the compatriots feel extremely warm and moved. The last four words, Taldali shouted almost at the top of his lungs: "Now, open warehouses, put food in, and make money!!"

This news was too shocking for the compatriots. They had never heard of free silver grain, but they met such a prince in their lifetime. This life is really enough!

"Long live the Sixth Prince!!!" the compatriots shouted, their voices resounding through the sky, expressing their endless gratitude and admiration for Taldali.

The tidal wave of "Long Live" echoed along the long street, like an endless wave. On both sides of the street, the doors of the houses were opened one by one to welcome this joyful moment. The soldiers were busy moving supplies from the audience, and the people's emotions were getting higher and higher, as if this was a grand celebration. Taldali stood on the high platform, overlooking the bustling and cheering crowd below, and felt an unprecedented novel feeling in his heart.

When he heard the cry of "Long Live" for the first time, there was no fear or excessive excitement in his heart. There was only an indescribable and subtle emotion floating in his heart. This feeling was like an addiction that was irresistible, making him addicted to it.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng seized the opportunity, jumped onto the stage, pulled Tardali and walked off. The people immediately made a sound of dissatisfaction, as if their beloved toys had been taken away. Lin Xiaofeng didn't care. He took Taldali to a place with few people, and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, it can be said to be a great victory today. Next, we only need to tell the people in the city People can just come here to receive supplies.”

He paused and then said: "It is enough to distribute supplies once. The next distribution will have to wait until more than a month later. During this period, you should give public speeches frequently to let the people know you better. I think that soon, The people's hearts will belong to Your Majesty. If there are dissenters in the court, let them see what the people's hearts want!"

Since then, things have been looking up. With the help of Lin Xiaofeng, Taldali gradually consolidated his position.

Lin Xiaofeng also retired with success, returned to his residence, and reported the situation to the mission in detail. The members of the mission staying at the inn also gradually let go of their worries and began to boldly come out and move around freely. However, they still have doubts and often travel in small groups with guards. After all, this is a strange place, and the two countries are at war, and danger may occur at any time.

The entire delegation was extremely grateful to Lin Xiaofeng, and many of them were very excited. Sister Fu Lingzhi admired Lin Xiaofeng even more, as if he was their savior. But Lin Xiaofeng didn't dare to relax at all. He knew that now was not the time to relax.

Now the two countries should have fought or are about to fight, and the situation is urgent. Battle was caught off guard and should have sent someone to ask about the hot weapons. Waiting for the Xixia soldiers to return to the city will be a critical moment. At that time, it will be up to Tardali to defend the city and firmly control the Xixia soldiers outside the city. At the same time, another person was sent to report the situation to Jingjiang and request support. Only in this way can we truly and steadily cope with the next challenges.

In order to achieve this goal, Lin Xiaofeng deliberately helped Tardali conquer some wavering people. Although these people surrendered to Tardari on the surface, they did not have much loyalty in their hearts. Most of them wanted to wait until Battelle returned to the court in victory before reporting the situation in order to protect themselves. Other people who refused to comply also had the same idea, but due to Tal'dali's reputation and concern for their own face, they could only choose to remain silent for now. They neither supported nor opposed Tardali's rule and maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

However, Taldali himself lived a happy life. Hearing the worship, shouts and praises of the people every day was like hearing the sound of nature. He felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life! On this day, a simple stage was set up in the southeast corner of Sarlang City. Tardali performed with ease on the stage, his speech full of passion and appeal. Lin Xiaofeng was with him in the audience as usual, silently supporting him.

Now there is no need for a human PPT to remind Tardali, the words "full of passion" can be blurted out at any time. Lin Xiaofeng watched his exciting performance in the audience, but felt a little uneasy in his heart. He worried that the child had become so deeply involved in the role that he could not extricate himself. Now the common people accept his every word as truth, while the lowly people in the court are constantly flattering him. This kind of blind worship and pursuit makes Lin Xiaofeng worried.

After Taldali finished his speech passionately, he slowly walked off the stage. Lin Xiaofeng stepped forward to greet him and congratulated him: "Congratulations to your majesty on everything going well today! The courtiers have surrendered and the people have returned to their hearts. Now no one can stop your majesty! I suggest Your Majesty is now preparing for the enthronement to set the record straight!"

When Talda heard the word "enthroned", he was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "The teacher said that all this is due to you. I never thought that I would be able to live the life I have today!" Although Talda Leigh was smiling but there was a hint of mixed emotions in his eyes. Lin Xiaofeng keenly captured this. He knew in his heart that this young man had been dazzled by power and the worship of the people. He must take action as soon as possible to make him realize the reality!

So Lin Xiaofeng said seriously: "Although Your Majesty's life is good today, I have to remind you that people's fanaticism is not a good thing! Don't be confused by these people when you first take power, let alone be kidnapped by public opinion! In my opinion, the current people's attitude towards There has been a lot of conflict among the officials of the Xixia Kingdom, but it is never a good thing if the two sides are too antagonistic! You should..."

"I understand, teacher." Before Lin Xiaofeng finished speaking, Taldali waved his hand in displeasure and interrupted him, "I know what to do next, you don't need to say more." Taldali said There was a hint of impatience and arrogance in his tone, which made Lin Xiaofeng very worried.

A trace of worry flashed in Lin Xiaofeng's eyes, and he thought: "Let me choke, is this puppet out of control? Has his mind been affected as well?" He thought for a while and continued to persuade: "Disciple, some performances are just performances. Don’t get too involved in the situation. The current situation is just a temporary solution, don’t let it get too deep.”

Taldali frowned and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I have already planned what I will do next." There was a trace of firmness and confidence in his voice, as if everything was under his control.

However, Lin Xiaofeng heard a hint of arrogance and stubbornness in his tone. He sighed in his heart: "It's over, this kid is really affected, he can't even listen to my words." His face gradually turned ugly, and after being silent for a while, he sighed longly, "Well, since If you know it well, you won’t talk too much as a teacher.”

Taldali saw that his face was a little ugly, and suddenly he felt a sense of apology in his heart. He smiled and tried to lighten the atmosphere: "Teacher, of course my disciple still has many shortcomings, and the teacher needs to give some advice. For so many days, I have always wanted to say something to the teacher. I wonder if the teacher wants to hear it?"

Lin Xiaofeng nodded and motioned for him to continue. Taldali asked softly: "Teacher, are you willing to stay in Xixia and assist your disciples in the future?" His eyes were full of expectation and desire, as if he hoped that Lin Xiaofeng could give him a positive answer.

However, Lin Xiaofeng's expression changed and he was about to refute. But Taldali hurriedly added: "If the teacher is willing to stay, I guarantee that you will have everything you need! Your status and wealth will definitely not be inferior to those in Jingjiang. If I were the emperor, the teacher would naturally be the emperor's teacher." His tone was full of emotion. of temptation and expectation.

Lin Xiaofeng responded with a smile on his face: "My disciple is joking. My teacher is from Jingjiang, so I will naturally return to Jingjiang. Even if we die, we must return to our roots." His tone was firm and decisive, as if Showing one's position and determination.

Taldali was silent for a moment after hearing this, with no look of surprise or disappointment in his eyes. He seemed to have anticipated this result, but still wanted to try his best. Finally, he sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, but if you are willing, teacher, you are welcome to come at any time."

Among the noisy markets, Taldali is surrounded by people like stars holding the moon. His appearance seemed to light up the whole street, and the citizens stopped and looked at him with envy and admiration. Taldali has become accustomed to such attention, and even enjoys it.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, walked to Taldali, and whispered: "Sixth Prince, someone wants to see you." Taldali frowned slightly, looking a little impatient, "These The endless interruptions are really annoying. Tell them, I don't have time." The guard looked embarrassed, "But this man said he came from the distant Jingjiang country." Upon hearing this, a flash of light flashed in Taldali's eyes. Interested, "Oh? Then let him come over, I want to see what he has going on."

After a while, a man wearing simple robes came over. He looks inconspicuous, but he gives people a calm temperament. He bowed deeply to Taldali and said, "Ruan Tianjing, a common man, please see the distinguished sixth prince." Taldali looked at him up and down, full of doubts in his heart. This person's face was unfamiliar, not a familiar face in the city, and he had never seen this person in the Jingjiang Kingdom's mission.

"Are you from the mission? Why have I never seen you?" Tardali asked directly. Ruan Tianjing smiled slightly and explained: "I am not a member of the mission, but a businessman who specializes in collecting iron ore for Xixia. I came all the way this time because I want to remind the Sixth Prince of something important."

"Oh? Tell me, what is it about?" Taldali's curiosity was aroused. Ruan Tianjing lowered his voice, "About a person named Lin Xiaofeng." Taldali's eyes suddenly became sharp. This name was not unfamiliar to him. He motioned Ruan Tianjing to follow him back to his mansion and discuss the matter in detail.

In the mansion, Ruan Tianjing revealed a shocking secret to Tardali. It turned out that he was a descendant of the royal family of Haiyun Kingdom, and he lived among the people after the country's demise. He founded the God of Disaster Sect and tried to revive the country. However, he became disheartened by the conflict with Lin Xiaofeng and changes within the sect and changed his career to become a businessman. However, he always cared about his motherland and kept sending people to inquire about the news. Recently, he discovered that most of the properties of the God of Disaster Sect were taken over by Lin Xiaofeng. What shocked him even more was that the princess of Haiyun Kingdom was actually taken as a concubine by Lin Xiaofeng!
Taldali was shocked when he heard the news. He hurriedly asked: "Is everything you said true?" Ruan Tianjing gritted his teeth and said: "It's absolutely true. Lin Xiaofeng is a cunning person. What I know about him Deeper than anyone else." Taldali was deep in thought. Suddenly he raised his head and asked, "Since you know so much, why didn't you tell Jingjiang Guo directly?" Ruan Tianjing said with a bitter smile: "I. How could I not have thought about it, but once this royal scandal is leaked, I am afraid it will cause endless troubles. What's more, if my current identity and the crime of smuggling iron ore are found out, it will be a trap. "

After hearing this, Taldali asked calmly: "Then why did you come to me?" Ruan Tianjing nodded and said: "I see that the Sixth Prince is spreading silver and food among the people, which is really admirable. I also I want to do my part for the people in the city. At the same time, if Lin Xiaofeng is no longer valuable to Xixia, I hope the Sixth Prince can hand him over to me." Taldali looked at him playfully, "Oh? What kind of hatred do you have with him?" Ruan Tianjing's face turned slightly red, "This is about my dignity and the hatred of the country!"

Taldali chuckled after hearing this, but suddenly, his eyes turned cold. He quickly pulled out the dagger and stabbed Ruan Tianjing. Ruan Tianjing looked at Taldali in astonishment, his eyes full of regret and despair. He thought this was a good opportunity, but he didn't expect to lose his life. Taldali watched him die silently, with a strange smile on his face, "Teacher, teacher, I want to see how you escape from my grasp."

He then shouted that there were assassins. The soldiers hurried over and were relieved to see Taldali safe and sound. Taldali calmly ordered: "Bury this assassin. In addition, first send people to the inn to surround everyone in the Jingjiang State mission, especially Lin Xiaofeng. Make sure to keep an eye on him. Send another troop. Go search all suspicious places in the city, I want to make sure nothing is missed."

Lin Xiaofeng sat in front of the desk, his eyes like two burning flames, staring closely at the three guards standing upright in front of him. Their faces are expressionless, like three sculptures.

Yesterday evening, a group of people surged in like wolves and surrounded the inn as airtight as an iron barrel.

This morning, Lin Xiaofeng tried to push the door open, but found that she seemed to be isolated on an island, surrounded by copper and iron walls.

Even when he went to the toilet, there were people following him closely, closely monitoring his every move, as if he was some important prisoner.

He asked them why, but they were like mutes, saying nothing, as if they could not understand him at all.

Judging from their appearance, Lin Xiaofeng guessed that they were probably sent by Taldali.

But what went wrong? This traitor imprisoned him here, leaving him puzzled. He tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, filled with doubts and anxiety.

Did Taldali want to kill him? This seems unlikely. There was no deep hatred between them. Could it be that he was killed just because he said a few unpleasant words yesterday? Tardali is not that crazy.

Moreover, Taldali had seen the power of dust explosions with his own eyes, so he should know that Xixia had no chance of winning. It would be wise to listen to him.

But, what is the purpose of his current actions?

Lin Xiaofeng had lost his patience. He stared at the three guards in front of him and shouted loudly: "I'm hungry! Go grill me the lamb chops, I want to eat!" However, the three guards were still like puppets, without any reaction. .

Lin Xiaofeng was so angry that he wanted to rush out, but three bright knives were immediately placed on his neck, and the cold blades were close to his skin.

He took a deep breath and glanced coldly at the Xixia soldiers, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Then, he silently returned to the bed and sat down, lost in thought.

Suddenly, one of the Xixia soldiers started talking to himself, then turned and left the room.

About an hour later, Tardali finally arrived.

Lin Xiaofeng raised his head, looked directly at him with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Apprentice, you are finally willing to come to see the master. You should explain to me what is going on."

Taldali smiled and responded: "I'm really sorry, Master. I was preaching on the street this morning, so I couldn't come over earlier. In fact, I should come to visit you every day."

He gave an order: "You all stand down!" The Xixia soldiers left the room one after another. Then Taldali continued: "Master, I have been busy with various affairs recently and rarely have time to ask you for advice. Therefore, I specially sent someone to leave you in the inn so that we can talk at any time to avoid missing study. opportunity. I didn’t expect that my subordinates would be so stupid and misunderstand what I meant.”

"Stop being so hypocritical," Lin Xiaofeng interrupted with a sneer, "Although your subordinates are stupid, they can't tell right from wrong. You clearly want to detain me!"

After saying that, he slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Taldali: "Do you want to put me in a dark cell?"

Taldali poured him a cup of tea calmly and handed it to him respectfully: "Master, how could you say that? Don't you know how much I respect you? I just want to be with you. Just talking.”

Lin Xiaofeng took the tea cup and said calmly: "Okay, then just say what you want to say."

Taldali said softly: "Master, after I thought deeply about it yesterday, I am even more grateful for your kindness. Your knowledge is endless. But when I think that you are about to return to Jingjiang, I feel lost. Therefore, I boldly ask you to stay. Here, help me."

"Master, please rest assured. I will treat you with the etiquette of an imperial master. Even Wurige cannot compare with your dignity. As long as I have anything, I can give it to you."

Lin Xiaofeng asked in surprise: "Is it because of this?"

"Yes, Master. In my heart, you are more important than thousands of troops!" Taldali replied, his eyes firm and sincere.

Lin Xiaofeng's expression softened slightly. He shook his head and said: "No, I was born in Jingjiang, and died in Jingjiang. My family and children are all in Jingjiang, how can I show my talent in Xixia?"

"Furthermore, the ancestral motto of the Lin family also requires descendants to take protecting the family and the country as their own responsibility. Xixia is not a place where I can show my talents."

"If you really want to learn from me, we can communicate through letters. There is no need to force me to stay here. What's more, my father will not agree!" Lin Xiaofeng added, with a trace of determination on his face.

"Father?" Taldali felt a little dazed when he heard the word. Only later did I realize that Lin Xiaofeng was referring to Jingjiang Emperor Li Shiming.

Lin Xiaofeng drank tea calmly, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart. This apprentice must have something up his sleeve! At present, both the mission and him are safe. But no one can predict what will happen next.

After a while, Taldali raised his head and asked: "Master, do you think the emperor can tolerate sand in his eyes?"

Lin Xiaofeng curled his lips and said, "Of course I can't tolerate it. Why do you ask?"

Tardali did not answer directly, but asked: "Master, do you really think that I have no chance at all?"

"No matter how many times you ask, it's useless. I will definitely go back to Jingjiang. Even if I want to stay, your senior brother will drag me back." Lin Xiaofeng said helplessly, "You are in Xixia now. Already in power."

"Even if the war is over, I will personally say a few good words for you in front of the emperor. As long as you and Jingjiang work together, your throne will be secure."

"I will never treat you badly!"

"Oh, forget it." Taldali had a look of regret on his face.

"Now that Master has decided to leave, let me do something for you to repay your kindness." Taldali said sincerely.

"How do you want to repay me?" Lin Xiaofeng asked with interest.

Taldali smiled mysteriously, came closer, and whispered: "Why don't you, Master, take this throne first?"

"What did you say?" Lin Xiaofeng asked in shock, unable to believe his ears.

Taldali smiled and said slowly: "I said, Master, you will sit on this throne first. After my disciple inherits the throne, I will thank you for your kindness in teaching me."

"Moreover, this matter should be held sooner rather than later. Let it be held in the near future. I will first customize the dragon robe and jade seal for you in line with Jingjiang etiquette to avoid being rude."

"As an emperor, you should formally ascend the throne in a grand and lively manner. How about holding a coronation ceremony under the witness of the envoy?" Taldali described his plan in detail, with ambition and expectation shining in his eyes.

Want me to be the emperor? Wearing Jingjiang's dragon robe? Enthroned in front of the embassy? Lin Xiaofeng's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Taldali with wide eyes: "Are you crazy? Do you want to harm me?"

"Master, how can you say that? How could my disciple harm you?" Taldali waved his hands repeatedly, pretending to be innocent, "It took a lot of effort for me to come up with this way to repay your kindness. Before the war is over, what's wrong with you being the emperor of Xixia temporarily?"

"The ministers of Xixia may have objections. However, master, please rest assured that I will fully bear the responsibility. You will definitely not have any accidents." Taldali vowed, "There are few people in the world who can sit down How about taking the throne? Master, aren’t you willing to give it a try?”

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head slowly, looked directly into Taldali's eyes, and said word for word: "I don't want to!" His voice was firm and powerful, revealing his unshakable determination.

"Besides, why do you think I will cooperate with you? If you have the ability, just kill me. That way, I will be happier." Lin Xiaofeng said without fear, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

"Oh, Master, you are here again. How could I kill you?" Taldali said pretending to be angry, but a strange smile appeared on his face, "Since I have made such an arrangement, Just accept it."

"After all, you don't want others to know what happened between you and Princess Nahaiyun, right?" Taldali said meaningfully, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

Oops, this is really an old score being dug up, something that happened thousands of miles away was revealed by this kid! Lin Xiaofeng's heart was in turmoil, but he still had to pretend to be calm. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "What do you mean by that? Why can't I understand it? How can you make up such a low-level lie?"

Taldali chuckled and responded: "Teacher, you know right and wrong, right and wrong, so I won't say more."

Lin Xiaofeng suppressed the anger in her heart, frowned and asked, "What on earth do you want to do? Now that you've said it, don't be secretive and give me a happy word!"

Taldali smiled even brighter, "Okay, then I'll tell you the truth. Teacher, I won. Now in the city of Sarlan, my reputation and power are greater than those of my father!"

He smiled proudly, "Like I said, I will always win. Xixia is in my hands, and it is definitely not as simple as a small subsidiary country. I want to be bigger than my father, and I want to create history!"

He changed the topic and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, "Teacher, you are just a stone on my way forward. I am where I am today because of your teaching. But if you go back to Jingjiang, I will be nothing."

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he snorted with disdain on his face. Huh, this kid is really blinded by power, even his true nature is revealed. Want to create a god? This is not something ordinary people can play. Such arrogant people just drink too much chicken soup!
Taldali added: "Teacher, I have no other intentions, and it will not do me any good to harm you. I just want you to stay with me." He paused, "I guess there must be many people in the mission. Everyone knows about our relationship, what would Li Shiming think if you became the Imperial Master?"

He glanced at Lin Xiaofeng and said, "You may lose some power, but at least you can save your life. But if you secretly accept a princess from an enemy country, it will be a scandal for the royal family and you will definitely die. Between the two, you have to carefully consider ”

He softened his tone and said, "If Jingjiang State no longer reuses you, my door will always be open for you!"

Lin Xiaofeng had a stern face, "I have never accepted a princess from an enemy country, don't lie. I am very happy that you value me. But what you said makes me very unhappy."

Taldali stepped up to leave, "I will find someone from the God of Disaster Cult to confront you."

The God of Disaster Sect has spread to Xixia, and they still know my background? Lin Xiaofeng twitched his lips, "You underestimate me too much."

"Even if I become the emperor," he said proudly, "if your majesty doubts me and never uses me again, I will be happy and relaxed. Do you really think I am willing to be an official?"

Taldali stopped and turned around, "Really? I don't believe it! You are in a high position and have all the power, how can you just let him go?"

Lin Xiaofeng sneered, "Do you think everyone is as superficial as you?"

"It's useless what you say," Tardali threatened. "You have no choice. If you cooperate with me, you can rely on me in the future. Even if you really are not greedy for power, if Jingjiang State hides you, it will For me, this is a big worry. However, if you don’t cooperate with me, I will have to reveal your private acceptance of Princess Haiyun. At that time, you will really have no room for maneuver.”

He paused, "I don't want to keep threatening you, but if you don't cut off your escape route, you will always harbor the illusion of returning to Jingjiang, which is not good for both of us."

Good boy, you have really grown up!
Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath, "Aren't you afraid that if I sit on the throne and don't get down, Jingjiang's army will attack the city in the future and leave me here?"

Taldali lowered his head and laughed, "Teacher, you are joking. Since you are from Jingjiang, how can you sit on the throne of Xixia for a long time? Would Li Shiming be willing to see a chaotic Xixia regime? Do you think "Stay, can Xixia keep you?"

He changed the topic and said, "When Jingjiang's army or the surrender envoys enter the city, I will hand over the surrender form as soon as possible. If you cooperate with me, I will keep it secret for you."

Lin Xiaofeng felt restless and restless. This rebellious apprentice had been plotting against him secretly. It was really unsettling!
"Traitor!" Lin Xiaofeng shouted angrily, "Don't forget that you have more than a dozen brothers. You may not be the most suitable person to sit on the throne."

"Brothers?" Taldali paused and said softly, "Since last night, except for the eldest brother and the third brother, I have no brothers. Teacher, do you think the Jingjiang Congress supports the royal nobles who go to the battlefield in person? ?”

When Lin Xiaofeng heard "There are no brothers anymore", he was instantly furious, "Tardali, you are crazy! Have you killed all your brothers?"

Taldali nodded slowly, "Teacher, you don't have to be surprised. To be honest, I really have no feelings for them."

"They are all your brothers," Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help feeling cold, "You are such a beast!" He was really angry. It's okay to be greedy for power, and it's okay to be a little clever. But attacking one's own brother is absolutely intolerable.

Battle has seventeen sons, the youngest is only a few years old. Tardali's behavior has exceeded Lin Xiaofeng's bottom line.

"Beast?" Taldali's face showed an angry look, "Great love is ruthless, this is what you taught me, teacher!"

He snorted coldly: "They are all hidden dangers after I ascend the throne. If there is turmoil due to this in the future, the people will still suffer!"

"It's really high-sounding!" Lin Xiaofeng stared at him coldly, his eyes darkened, "Just do it, don't make excuses for your shamelessness." He was already disheartened by Taldali.

Seeing Lin Xiaofeng's angry gaze, Taldali calmed down and said, "Teacher, you will understand me."

He changed the topic, "Please come with me now. When the dragon robe is ready, I will ascend the throne." He looked at Lin Xiaofeng, "Is there anyone in the world who asks for help like you? Don't you think it's ridiculous? "

"Ridiculous?" Taldali said with a smile, "Teacher, I will give you power that the Jingjiang Kingdom has never had before. You will change your mind by then."

He paused, "What if I don't agree? You might consider starting with the people in the mission? For example, those two girls."

Lin Xiaofeng was furious. This guy really regarded shit as a treasure. He thought everyone liked power? He keeps talking about power, does he think everyone is coveting this? How ridiculous!

But Taldali laughed. He spread his hands with a twisted expression on his face, "I'm so excited!" After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Xiaofeng suppressed his anger and shouted, "You killed more than ten brothers, don't you feel anything in your heart? Don't you feel any guilt at all?"

Taldali was lost for a moment, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He turned around and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. However, he did not answer Lin Xiaofeng's question, but turned and left, leaving behind Lin Xiaofeng's angry and helpless figure.

Taldali suddenly went crazy. Lin Xiaofeng saw this and felt disappointed in his heart. Alas, he thought, the person he once was is no longer there. His illness has reached its final stages and there is no going back. What worries him even more is that Taldali is still insisting on setting up a trap to push him to the throne of emperor. Lin Xiaofeng was now in a dilemma. If he really became the emperor, he would have to show off in front of the envoys. If this news reaches the ears of Emperor Jingjiang, it will cause an uproar. Lin Xiaofeng was unsure, even though Emperor Jingjiang had always been famous for his tolerance and generosity, and they were considered a family. But the dignity of the emperor is no joke.

Lin Xiaofeng was obviously a prisoner, but now he was being promoted to be the emperor by others. He himself was still the prince's teacher. This would inevitably make people murmur. If you can deceive others today, can you deceive the prince tomorrow? Will the prince be turned into his own puppet in the future? Even if they knew about Tardari's conspiracy, it would be difficult to dispel people's doubts. Although it may not be fatal, it will definitely make people feel unhappy. But if he doesn't cooperate with Tardali, he's afraid of causing even greater trouble. Not many people know Jin Jiaying's true identity, and neither does Han Miao. If the matter is revealed, he may be severely punished, and he may even be arrested and sent to the palace to work as a coolie. Now it doesn't matter whether Tardali has caught witnesses or not, because as long as there are rumors, someone will definitely come to investigate. It's the lesser of two evils. Now I can only deal with Tardali first. It doesn't matter if I enjoy the fun of being an emperor for the time being!

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Taldali's leaving figure, sighed, and followed him out. This guy is really a genius. He really went to great lengths to get me to work for him. If he were to be a headhunter, he would definitely be a top expert, but it's a pity that he was born in the wrong person!
At this moment, outside Sanshang Pass, the Xixia army was ready to go. In front of them was a graveyard of warriors, all of whom were buried in Xixia warriors. Although they captured the Sanshang Pass, they were not happy for a long time. The whole army was under great pressure. Because they had to be busy disposing of the bodies of the fallen soldiers, which was an urgent matter, otherwise morale would collapse. Moreover, they had to reorganize the Sanshangguan just in case. As long as this pass is held, the Jingjiang army will not be able to get through. After a simple memorial ceremony, the Xixia army continued southward.

Battle returned to the tent and began to think about how to fight the next battle. Suddenly, a spy broke in: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The Jingjiang army has appeared on the Pancha Plain, with no less than 200,000 people!" "Did you see clearly?" "It's absolutely true! The number is only 200,000! A lot more! And it has been confirmed again and again.”

When Battle heard this, he was stunned, and he quickly called the national teacher Wu Rige. "Your Majesty, the Jingjiang army suddenly arrived. This is a bit strange." Battelle's face turned green. "How could the Jingjiang army come so quickly? Could it be that our news was leaked?" Wurige also frowned. Brows said, "Your Majesty, we have to send another spy to investigate carefully. The Jingjiang army came so early, and the guard of Sanshang Pass retreated inexplicably. There must be something wrong here." Battelle nodded and decided to continue to investigate the situation. , proceed as planned. "If the Jingjiang army really gathers on the Pancha Plain, it will be beneficial to us. If they fight in the plains, their defense facilities will be useless." "In any case, they dare to fight us on the plains. Just looking for death!" Wurige always felt a little uneasy and felt that things were not that simple.

"I'm going to make arrangements right away, but this thing is indeed a bit strange. Li Shiming is a capable general, and he is unlikely to start a war with us directly. So Your Majesty has to be careful." "Well, I understand, you go Bar."

"Your Majesty, the Xixia spies are back." In the Chinese army tent, Emperor Jingjiang was absently flipping through a military book. As soon as he heard the news, he raised his head suddenly and said, "Send the order and the whole army will attack!" "Continue to explore the enemy's situation." "Inform the generals and ask them to raise the battle flag high and prepare for war!"

After a day and a night of reconnaissance, the Xixia spies reported that the Xixia army had marched toward the Pancha Plain in a mighty manner, and the entire army was like a big snake crawling on the ground. Battelle rode at the front, followed closely by Buchash. The army was walking, and suddenly a spy rushed over, "Your Majesty! It's not good! The Jingjiang army is approaching us, with no less than 400,000 soldiers and horses! Our other spies have been chased by them." Battelle said I was shocked when I heard this! An army of 400,000 takes the initiative to attack? Isn’t this seeking death? "Is there any other news?" "Yes! Your Majesty, we also discovered the dragon flag and saw it in the military formation!" the spy continued, with a look of ecstasy on his face! Could it be that the emperor was personally conducting the expedition? Li Shiming actually took the initiative to attack with an army of 400,000. "Continue to investigate and report back immediately if there is any information!" "God help me! Is Li Shiming crazy? Instead of defending the city, he takes the initiative to attack? It seems that life is too comfortable and he has forgotten how to fight!" "They want to Are you going to fight me head-on?" Battelle said to himself. Wu Rige reminded him, "Since Li Shiming dares to confront His Majesty, he must have a backup plan. We don't know when they will arrive at Pancha Plain. Maybe they have already dug a hole for us to jump into." "So. We cannot act rashly." "I am willing to lead the troops and take off Li Shiming's head personally!" Buhasihe said. "No, don't be impatient. Let the light cavalry go up first. You stay in the formation and don't attack easily. I don't know if this Jingjiang country has any tricks. We'd better be careful. We'll know their details after the fight. ”

Li Dexian rode a horse and walked beside Emperor Jingjiang with a flattering look on his face, "Father, if we encounter the Xixia army later, I am willing to fight as a vanguard!" When he said this, he felt excited and looked forward to it. With Emperor Jingjiang. However, Emperor Jingjiang just glanced at him sideways and said coldly: "I already have a candidate, you can lead the royal guards behind and raid the formation. If you dare to mess around, I will deal with you according to military law!" "Oh." Li Dexian responded with disappointment.

The two armies were close enough to see each other's faces clearly. Battle's eyes widened and his face was filled with astonishment. He glanced up and saw the dragon flag of the Jingjiang Army flying proudly in the air. That kind of momentum was really breathtaking. His companion Uzhige was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue. Such a scene was simply unbelievable. That Emperor Jingjiang, the king of a country, actually went to war personally for some trivial matters. On this vast battlefield, they directly confronted Xixia's elite cavalry.

While Battle was still riding on his horse, he saw the enemy cavalry rushing over like wolves and tigers. He couldn't help but grin, pointing at the charging enemies and saying, "These people are so interesting!"

"I have been planning for a long time, but I didn't expect that the enemy would be so careless." Emperor Jingjiang said with a smile, and the generals around him also laughed, thinking that this was a big surprise. They were originally worried that Emperor Jingjiang's defensive stance would lead to supply difficulties and delay the war. Now it seems that the Jingjiang army is so impatient to attack, isn't it possible that they will come to their doorstep?

Facing the enemy troops coming like a tidal wave, Battelle did not change his expression and decisively ordered: "Act according to the plan, the light cavalry is advancing steadily, don't mess up the position, pass on the order!" With the order, the battle flag was waved and the horn sounded passionately. It rang out and echoed throughout the battlefield. The morale of the Xixia army was greatly boosted upon hearing the news. The originally somewhat sloppy formation quickly gathered and rushed straight towards the Jingjiang army like a raging flood.

Emperor Jingjiang held the telescope tightly with an extremely serious expression. The Xixia army's offensive is so fierce that there should be no carelessness. Without the help of firearms, today would probably be a tough fight. Fortunately, they have firearms in their arsenal. He thought of those powerful explosives and Lin Xiaofeng, who was both wise and brave. He sighed softly and ordered: "Shenji Camp, prepare to go into battle!"

Both armies showed amazing momentum, and the light cavalry took the lead in the confrontation. Arrows flew down like raindrops, causing casualties on both sides. In the blink of an eye, hand-to-hand combat has begun. The Jingjiang cavalry were brave and fearless, thrusting straight into the battle formation of the Xixia army like a sharp sword. But the Xixia soldiers were by no means idle. They fought tit for tat. Amidst the loud shouts, the Xixia soldiers slashed at the Jingjiang soldiers with their swords. In an instant, the soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and the battlefield seemed to have turned into a bloody meat grinder.

Li Dexian held the telescope and was extremely excited. Although the bloody scene in front of him was different from what he had imagined before, he still couldn't help but feel regretful when he saw the heroic fighting of the Jingjiang cavalry regardless of their own safety. The fierce battle ahead was in full swing, the Xixia army surged up like a tide, and tens of thousands of Jingjiang cavalry charged into the battle regardless of their safety.

Battle's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring in the direction of Long Qi, and he had doubts in his heart. The enemy's large forces have not been dispatched for a long time. They only sent out cavalry. What is the purpose of this? Is Li Shiming really so unprofessional? Before he had time to think deeply about this issue, he suddenly saw the Jingjiang army changing its formation, dividing into two groups, retreating in a detour, and the middle gate was wide open! At this moment, the Xixia generals swept in with ecstasy!

Emperor Jingjiang was sitting in the Dragon Boat, facing the approaching Xixia cavalry, his expression remained calm as before, without any impulse or passion, as if all this had nothing to do with him. Li Dexian was very excited and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He saw that his father's current state was just as Old Lin said, "as stable as an old dog"! The Shenji Battalion has already deployed artillery, thunder cannons and other firearms, and is just waiting for the enemy to come within range before they can show off their skills!
Li Dexian clenched his fists tightly and looked back at the imperial guards waiting behind him. It's a pity that they can't participate in the battle this time because their mission is outside the customs and they must obey military orders. The Xixia army has pushed its speed and strength to the limit. The momentum of thousands of horses running wildly is like setting off a small earthquake! The ferocious face of the Xixia army was fully exposed at this moment. This change of situation really surprised everyone.

However, the advantage is still on our side. No one will think too much about Jingjiang State's mistakes at this moment. Tactical errors, response failures, etc. are all obvious. Even Wurige had no intention of thinking about other things. He was so excited that his bald head began to turn slightly red. "God bless me, Xixia!" I originally thought that it would take a lot of trouble to determine the outcome, but now it seems that the outcome will be known today.

But wait, the other party seems to be burying something on the ground? That's right! The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were frantically digging holes, preparing to bury iron barrels in preparation for the flying thunder cannons. Although there were nearly a hundred cannons, they were not easy to use because they were too heavy and difficult to control even if they were equipped with wheels. However, its advantage is that it has a long range and the ability to hit targets accurately. And if you want to cover a large area with firepower, you have to rely on flying thunder cannons.

At this time, a strange situation appeared on the battlefield: there was silence on one side, but thunder roared on the other. This is a cross-era war, an extreme competition between nomadic civilization and explosive technology. Both sides were determined to win, and Battle couldn't help laughing. He laughed wildly as he rode. If Li Shiming were in front of him at this moment, he would definitely ridicule him. He thought Li Shiming was some kind of fierce warrior on the battlefield, but he turned out to be so vulnerable. Perhaps those previous military exploits were accomplished by his subordinates, right? Now that the imperial commander has gone on a personal expedition, he has exposed his true level. This is really ridiculous!
Battle felt that there was no suspense in this battle. (End of chapter)
