Before the expedition, Zhao Yuan had a close contact with King Changlin.

It's in the Xuanzheng Hall.

Zhao Yuan personally served tea and water to his elder, and then said kindly: "Grandpa Chang Lin, you are also Yuan'er's elder. If you have anything to say, Yuan'er will tell you directly.

Do you think you are sure that you can win this battle? How sure are you?"

Zhao Changlin smiled and said: "I wonder what kind of result your Majesty wants?"

After years of fighting in the north and south, the intrusion of a mere demon tribe was not something worth fearing in his mind.

Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Yuan'er wants to use this battle to bring peace to the border area for at least fifty years."

This is already a very good result.

Hearing his words, Zhao Changlin frowned instantly.

In order to ensure peace on the border for fifty years, there is only one way to do it, and that is to kill as many monsters as possible.

Don't seek immediate success or failure, but seek to kill all the monsters.

The outcome that the emperor wanted in this battle was almost the same as the outcome in the first battle with the Tang army.

under pressure.

"Your Majesty, I can't guarantee the result of this victory yet. I can only do my best." Zhao Changlin did not dare to insist.

The reason is that the combat power of the demon clan cannot be underestimated.

If you are a little careless, let alone win, it will be better if you don't lose.

Zhao Yuan was not surprised by his words.

Although I have never personally experienced a battlefield, I know that wars are never the same. Throughout the ages, battles have always been constantly changing.

"Uncle Emperor, I have only been in charge of the country for a short time. If I lose this battle, I am afraid that I will never have the dignity to sit on the throne again. This battle is a test for me. Uncle Emperor, please do whatever it takes."

Go ahead and do it, Yuan'er, thank you here."

Zhao Yuan bowed deeply to Zhao Changlin.

To be honest, when I think about this, I am still a little embarrassed.

After all, if young people cannot do anything, the older generation will have to do it.

In fact, it is not that Zhao Yuan has not thought about letting those heroes who have unified the world go on an expedition.

But after thinking about it, I still felt that it would be more appropriate to let King Changlin take charge alone.

After all, he is a member of the Zhao family.

The other veterans all have their own families.

After this battle, the family's reputation will inevitably rise several levels.

It is not in line with my original intention of eliminating the power of the aristocratic family.

Zhao Changlin helped Zhao Yuan up, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the veteran general doesn't die, those monsters will never be able to make waves."

This is his promise.

When Zhao Changlin went on an expedition, Zhao Yuan sent him off ten miles away.

Now, a full month has passed since King Changlin swore to go to war. Zhao Yuan can be said to be extremely anxious. He is looking forward to news of the war ahead every day.

Just hope it's not bad news.

Zhao Yuan almost lives in Xuanzheng Hall now.

Hongdou would visit him from time to time.

Once or twice is fine.

After many visits, Hongdou couldn't bear it anymore. She ran to the Xuanzheng Hall in person and asked Zhao Yuan: "If you stay here every day, can good news come from the front?"

Zhao Yuan was stunned when he heard the sound, and said: "I feel at ease sitting here. I never understood why the emperor always liked to stay in the Xuanzheng Hall when the war started. It's because sitting here, it feels like being on the battlefield.

, Accompany the good men of our human race to fight bravely against the enemy."

Hongdou said: "Since you insist on staying here, then I will accompany you and guard you."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yuan didn't quite understand.

Hongdou took a deep breath and said with a blushing face: "You guard the country of Wei and the heroes on the bloody battlefield ahead, then I will guard you.

Because only you are the hero in my mind."

Zhao Yuan immediately laughed.

This was the first time Zhao Yuan laughed heartily since the demon tribe invaded the south.

...

Regarding the war ahead, Yan and Yun Prefectures were the most severely affected places.

The demon tribe's two million army was divided into two groups, one toward Yan and the other toward Yun. They used lightning rush tactics to plunder human resources.

Many women from the human race have been snatched away by the demon race.

The most perverted thing about the demon clan is that they can absorb human essence.

This means that as long as there is a war, the surviving demon clan will only become stronger and stronger.

But the human warriors couldn't do this.

As they continue the protracted war, the energy they have accumulated will rapidly decline.

Therefore, for human generals, they must be fast when fighting against monsters.

After Zhao Changlin and Zhao Hongji met, the latter told the former all about the recent war, and then continued: "Uncle, my nephew has said before that you should not be merciful when dealing with monsters. When Emperor Taizong issued the order to kill monsters, it was actually the same process.

thoroughly considered.

The demon clan and our human race simply cannot communicate with each other and live in harmony. There is no possibility of win-win cooperation between the two clans. There will only be boundless war spreading. This time, my nephew still said the same thing about the demon clan.

, kill as many as you can.

At that time, Emperor Taizong clearly killed the enemy commander, but he ordered the army to let go of those monsters, which led to today's disaster. If all the monster army had been killed that day, the monsters would have been destroyed for at least a hundred years.

I don’t dare to have any attempt to interfere with my human race.”

Zhao Changlin sighed and reprimanded: "You, you, what worries me the most is your murderous intention. The Supreme Emperor once said that the best strategy for a hundred battles is to subdue the enemy's troops without fighting.

, the demon clan is committing heinous crimes, and it is impossible to kill them all.

Your father has long had a strategy for dealing with the Monster Clan, with war as the supplement and peace as the most important. This strategy was also agreed upon by several of us. Otherwise, a blind killing will only make the Monster Clan...

He hates humans even more."

Zhao Hongji has his own ideas and is silent.

In the remaining days, under the command of Zhao Changlin, the historically famous Battle of Yanyun was launched.

In this battle, both sides deployed a total of more than five million troops.

It can be regarded as the battle with the largest number of people, except for the battle to unify the world.

Spring of twenty-sixth year.

A battle that lasted for five years finally came to a conclusion this year.

Zhao Hongji personally led the army, and after the ice and snow melted, he raided the demon tribe's tent and was ambushed.

At the same time, Zhao Changlin led a large army to outflank the enemy.

Zhao Hongji's troops fought bravely and tenaciously against the enemy, buying Zhao Changlin's troops a lot of time.

This allowed Zhao Changlin to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack.

In this battle, a total of more than 400,000 monsters were wiped out.

Captured a hundred thousand monsters.

The human race is victorious.

The demon tribe retreated outside Yunzhou.

Zhao Changlin led one hundred thousand cavalry all the way north to cut off the demon clan's retreat.

Zhao Changlin continued to pursue the enemy.

In a place called "Plain Field", a war broke out with three million people participating, and the human race won again.

The remnants of the demon clan left in Yanyun and Yunzhou also began to be wiped out by the human army.

The fight lasted for more than five years, and the two human and demon clans increased their troops no less than ten times. It was not until today that we finally achieved a result.

After so many years of hard fighting, Zhao Changlin deeply understood the fact that the demon clan is stronger than before.

After this battle, the demon tribe surrendered, and the demon emperor personally wrote four characters for the human race as a boundary monument for the human race's territory: "All things are spiritual."

On the other side of the boundary monument, there is only the word "Monster Clan" written on it.
