The latest battle report has arrived, and everyone is waiting for the Empress to speak.
"King Wu sent good news. Two days ago, Shi Le tried to break through with his troops, but was defeated by King Wu's plan. Yangcheng has been included in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"In the battle of Yangcheng, more than 40,000 enemies were killed and 200,000 were captured. Shi Le fled into Guancheng to defend the city."
After the empress finished speaking, Gongsun Yun laughed loudly and said: "Xixia can only defend from now on, and can no longer counterattack."
After the two major defeats at Zhenguo Temple and the major defeat at Yangcheng, Gongsun Yun estimated that Xixia's elites were almost defeated.
The ministers in the court were overjoyed and congratulated the empress in unison.
Di Yu let out a long sigh of relief, and Di Xingwan said happily: "After conquering Yang City, the Long family army can reach Guancheng directly. If Guancheng is defeated again, they can invade Xingqing City."
Xu Ming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, smiled so hard that his face turned crooked, and he said to Baili Bing, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs next to him: "King Wu has never lost a battle."
Baili Bing smiled and said: "That means King Wu is invincible in every battle."
All the ministers in the hall laughed happily.
The empress looked at Baili Bing and said, "King Wu said that he can capture all the cities east of Yangcheng within three days. Please send me officials to take over the cities."
"It takes more than two days from Yangcheng to the capital. In total, King Wu has already captured the city."
"I order you to select suitable officials to take over the city land within two days."
Baili Bing immediately bowed: "Wei Chen accepts the order!"
The ministers exclaimed: "It has actually reached the point of sending officials to take over?"
"So, almost half of Xixia's land was included in the territory of Zhou Dynasty?"
“Didn’t Panhe Palace also become the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty?”
Gongsun Yun stroked his beard and leaned on the imperial chair, looking very comfortable.
The empress specially ordered: "The new Xixia vassal must select capable and sage people, especially those who are good at comforting and not careless."
In the place where I had just returned, people's hearts were not yet unified, and I still felt that I was from Xixia.
At this time, officials who are good at winning people's hearts must be selected to make the local people live a better life.
Baili Bing bowed: "Wei Chen understands."
The empress then said to Duan Shuangshuang and Wang Wei: "As for the food and fodder issue just mentioned, King Wu also said that the food and fodder are not in good supply. In addition, the Long family army is exhausted from the continuous battles and plans to rest in Yangcheng for a few months. The food and fodder can be postponed for a while."
Duan Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief. The Ministry of Revenue was under great pressure every day to collect enough food and grass, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wei Chen accepts the decree."
Duan Shuangshuang and Wang Wei bowed in unison.
"Okay, let's retreat."
The empress got up happily and returned to the inner court, and all the ministers got up and dispersed.
Wang Wei left the Daming Palace and rode a carriage through the streets. Wang Mazi waved his whip in his hand and drove the carriage slowly.
"Go to Rouge Lane."
Wang Wei said something coldly, and Wang Mazi immediately turned his horse and walked towards Rouge Lane.
....
Nanliang, Jinling, Imperial Palace.
Eunuch Yu Fuguo hurried into Wolong Valley with a secret report.
This was originally Li Chengdao's summer resort, but later Ji Ba took a fancy to it and burned down the palace.
After the Tianxiahui was destroyed, Li Chengdao rebuilt the palace and still used it as a summer resort.
Of course, due to the rush of time, only a few palaces were built, and most of them were still charred ruins.
Yu Fuguo hurriedly entered a waterside pavilion. The river flowed underneath, making a gurgling sound.
Li Chengdao was sitting on the edge of the railing, while Yu Ziming, the Minister of War, was reporting on the battle ahead.
"Our army attacked several more times, but the effect was not good. In the hot summer weather, the sergeants are wearing clothes and armor to fight, and many of them have sores on their bodies."
"I heard that Long Chengen's war in Xixia was going well. After Shi Le's defeat at Zhenguo Temple, he retreated to Yangcheng, and 500,000 troops were besieged in the city."
The Ministry of War has its own informants, and Yu Ziming also knows about the war in Yangcheng.
Li Chengdao looked at the river below the stage and sarcastically said: "An army of 500,000 people was actually besieged by 200,000 people. It is really unheard of!"
Only a force several times the enemy's strength can complete a siege. This is common sense in the art of war.
Long Chen surrounded Shi Le with less than half of his troops. This was simply a joke.
Yu Ziming paid homage and said, "We heard that the request for a child hall from Zhaoti Temple aroused resentment among the people of Xixia. Many officers and soldiers in the army also hated the imperial court. In order to prevent a mutiny, Shi Le took the initiative to retreat to the city."
"Shi Le originally wanted to lure Long Chengen to attack the city, but he didn't expect that Long Chengen surrounded and refused to attack."
Li Chengdao sneered: "I won't even fall for Shi Le's little trick, let alone Long Chengen."
"The Xixia cavalry once defeated 100,000 Long family troops and killed Long Ye's family on Bailang Mountain. Tie Yaozi was originally an elite soldier."
"Why did you become a useless cripple when you faced Long Chengen?"
Li Chengdao really couldn't figure out why Xixia's combat effectiveness became so poor?
Shi Le was able to kill Long Ye with his iron kite, but why couldn't he defeat a eunuch?
Yu Ziming didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "Long Ye only has 100,000 troops, and Long Chengen has 200,000 troops."
Li Chengdao looked at Yu Ziming helplessly. He wanted to curse, but he didn't know where to start.
Yu Fuguo came over in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, Xixia Feiying sent a message, Shi Le was defeated again!"
Li Chengdao's face was gloomy, and Yu Ziming was shocked.
General Yu Fu submitted the secret report. Li Chengdao read it carefully, looked up at the trees on the mountain, and sighed: "An army of 500,000 was easily defeated by Long Chengen. This Shi Le..."
Yu Ziming lowered his head and did not dare to speak, and Yu Fuguo also stopped speaking.
After a long time, Li Chengdao said: "Withdraw, Xixia is over. Let the soldiers on the front line rest and recuperate."
"Moreover, the Ministry of War will immediately repair the northern city. After Long Chengen destroys Xixia, he will probably turn around and invade Daliang in two years."
"We can't be like Shi Le, who was attacked by Long Chengen all the way."
Li Chengdao's words made Yu Ziming a little overwhelmed.
Li Chengdao's words meant that Xixia had been regarded as a country that had perished.
"Your Majesty, Xixia... sent an envoy to the Us country. Maybe... the country will not be destroyed."
Yu Ziming wanted to comfort Li Chengdao and comfort himself.
Yu Fuguo also said: "The three points of the world were decided by the Martial Saint back then. Over hundreds of years, some people tried to change it, but they all failed in the end."
"How virtuous and capable is Long Cheng'en, that he can destroy Xixia and dominate the world?"
Li Chengdao sneered and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't think Xixia can last long."
"Go and be prepared, Long Chengen is coming. He is here to avenge himself, to avenge Long Ye, and to avenge the 100,000 Long Family Army!"
"Once he enters Jinling City... no chickens or dogs will be left behind!"
When these words came out of Li Chengdao's mouth, Yu Ziming and Yu Fuguo turned pale.
"Wei Chen accepts the decree."
"Slave takes orders."
The two bowed their heads and exited the waterside pavilion.
Outside the palace, Yu Ziming wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"This damn weather is going to heat you up to death."
Yu Fuguo sighed: "The sun can't kill anyone, but Long Chengen is the trouble. Isn't there anyone who can stop him?"
Yu Ziming sighed: "It used to be possible for the world to be together, but now it's gone."
Yu Fuguo said regretfully: "I used to think that the world would be very annoying, but now I miss you very much."
When the world will be around, at least there will be someone who can contain Long Chen.
It's gone now, completely gone.
