For Zhao Yuan, this emperor, who had not been in power for very long, had always been very humble to his ministers.

But humility is different from compromise.

He has been unwilling to make concessions on matters at the national strategic level.

He also firmly believes that under his leadership, the Wei Dynasty will advance according to the goals he has set. In the end, it will be able to reborn and completely surpass the demon clan.

The demon clan, a backward race, was completely left behind.

Let them always maintain an unattainable attitude toward humankind.

The past few days have been a critical period in the middle of the war.

Currently, Zhao Hongji's army has arrived at the hills.

Back then, it was this place that caused Bai Qi and Xiao Yuming to stumble.

It was also because of the defeat in this battle that it indirectly led to the failure to fulfill one of Zhao Changqing's original expectations - to achieve a century of peace.

Fortunately, this time, the demon clan no longer has a commander who can compete with the human race.

They were defeated steadily by the human army.

Chengde Hall.

Early morning.

When Zhao Yuan heard the latest battle report, his heart boiled with excitement, and he said to the civil and military officials: "After the 123rd year of the Human Emperor, our human army has never entered the territory of the demon clan.

Now, after many years, our army of the Wei Dynasty has once again arrived at the hills of the Monster Clan. This battle is of great importance. If we win, our human army can take advantage of the victory to pursue us. If we lose, the Northern Expedition will come to an end.

However, I firmly believe that the King of Tang will be able to overcome all difficulties, attack the capital of the demon clan in one breath, and capture the prince of the demon clan as he did back then! The Supreme Emperor once said that in the war against the demon clan, he hoped to fight for a hundred years.

Peace, unfortunately, this matter did not come true at the beginning.

But when I come here, even if I am here to comfort those heroic spirits who died fighting for the human race and for the Wei Dynasty, I will also fight to the capital of the monster race with one breath, create a hundred years of peace, and create a peaceful and prosperous age!"

The emperor's words were very inspiring.

In the battle against the demon clan back then, the human race was indeed victorious.

But it was a miserable victory.

Not only the demon race was consumed too much, but even the human race began to live a life of tightening their belts for several years.

Everything started because of the defeat in the Battle of the Hills.

If Bai Qi could have known the demon clan's plan early in the hills, he would not have passively taken advantage of the plan and saved the army from being massacred by the demon clan. Otherwise, the demon clan would have become a vassal of the human race at this moment.

After retreating from the court, Zhao Yuan came to the Xuanzheng Hall and stared at a map hanging on the wall.

This map was drawn by Zhao Changqing only after the battle.

Bai Qi and the others only attacked the demon capital, so they only captured the demon capital.

"There is still a gap of six to seven thousand miles between the hills and the demon capital. There are hundreds of new towns on the way. This battle is even harder to fight than it was during the time of the Supreme Emperor." When Lu Zaixing arrived behind the Xuanzheng Palace, Zhao Yuan pointed at the map.

, said to him.

The former rarely said anything depressing, "Your Majesty, when the Supreme Emperor ordered General Bai Qi and the others to go on the expedition, they knew nothing about the situation of the demon clan and were in a state of darkness. Even so, he resolutely

He resolutely went deep into the demon clan's hinterland and almost penetrated the demon clan.

His Highness the King of Tang once followed the Supreme Emperor to participate in the battle to unify the world. During this period, he studied the art of war with many senior generals of the Wei Dynasty. Among them, he had great experience in the lightning raid tactics of General Chen Qingzhi and General Huo Qubing. Moreover, on the eve of the expedition, he also

A lot of work has gone into preparation.

Between emotion and reason, we will all win this battle."

Although I said this on the surface, I was still worried about this matter in my heart.

It would be terrible if it really failed.

All we can do is place our hopes on King Tang.

"What do you mean you came to see me today?" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

The Prime Minister, who was extremely worried in the past, also said these encouraging words. It seems that there is really no possibility of failure in this battle.

This is tantamount to giving the emperor great confidence.

This is exactly the result Lu Zaixing wants.

Now that we have reached that point, there is no possibility of retreat.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have just received news that the battle ahead has been arduous and arduous, but the damage has been considerable. So far, about 500,000 people have been damaged.

The medical conditions at the front are extremely poor, and even if they are injured, they cannot maintain their peak combat strength. So Wei Chen thought of deploying 300,000 troops from all over Kyushu to replace those injured soldiers."

Lu Zaixing worked extremely hard for the final victory in this battle.

He did not allow any mistakes in the battle ahead.

Zhao Yuan sighed and said: "I have thought about this matter a long time ago, but the war situation is fleeting. If the king of Tang is allowed to wait for our thirty reinforcements and chooses to station in the hills, I am afraid that it will

Missed a lot of opportunities.

Let's do this, 300,000 reinforcements will be sent, and the injured soldiers, those who are seriously injured and critically ill, will be sent back to Wei for treatment. The rest who are capable of fighting will continue to serve at the front."

Lu Zaixing frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the demon clan is different from our human clan. The demon clan has always become braver with each war. If the wounded soldiers are not allowed to return home for treatment at this time, I am afraid that once there is another war, they will die tragically from their injuries.

Under the sword of the demon clan."

He had already done some research on this point.

Back then, when the Supreme Emperor ordered Bai Qi to attack the demon clan, he barely managed to defeat the demon clan with a battle loss ratio of nearly one to one.

Some injured human warriors were basically unable to defeat a demon warrior on their own.

Under this situation, many unnecessary casualties were caused.

Zhao Yuan said earnestly: "The Supreme Emperor once said that in war, there are no undead people. The troops who go abroad to fight are all warriors and good deeds. I believe that they will not give up this job just because of their injuries.

The honor of attacking the demon clan for the first time.

Prime Minister, when you are free, go to the border and see the people. Many soldiers and ordinary people regard honor as more important than life.

The heroes who go abroad to fight know very well that they are fighting for the human race and will never give up because of a slight setback."

Lu Zaixing said: "Then if we wait for the reinforcements to arrive, can the wounded be brought back?"

Zhao Yuan nodded, "If anyone comes back voluntarily, let him come back. I will never interfere."

His words had already blocked the road.

Coming back means giving up your honor, which is a shameful thing.

If you don't come back, the probability of dying in battle will be greatly increased.

It's very difficult for both sides.

In fact, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, it is natural for people to die in war.

If a large number of wounded soldiers are allowed to return home, it will reduce the strength of the front line.

If there were some mistakes and the war failed, it would really be a waste.

It’s hard to say who is better or worse in what Zhao Yuan and Lu Zaixing did.

But it just echoes an ancient saying.

Since ancient times, military affairs have been nothing more than a game played by those in power.
