"Yes! Your Highness! I obey." Detective Daying took the order and left.
Nangong Jue stood up from his chair and came to the back of the stone gate. He didn't know that Fu Jingheng was already standing behind the stone gate listening to the information when the Daying spies came to report the military intelligence.
At this time, the two stood opposite each other across the stone door again, and the atmosphere was subtle. One thought that the other party had collapsed, and the other was waiting for the stone door to open and give the other party a fatal blow.
Nangong Jue said: "Jin'er, have you heard this? Guangli is going to be subjugated. After Zhennanguan Pass, it is the border of the Central Plains! Once you enter the Central Plains, you are not far from the capital! You can hide in a room, for a while, and for a while.
Not forever."
Fu Jingheng weighed it up and found that after passing Zhennanguan, there was still more than a thousand miles to reach Lishan. The horses would take more than a day if they were fast, and they would only take two or three days if they were slow.
Wen Jin, Shen Zishu, Qian Chan, Xu Fanghai, and Bao Yin all held their hands.
Everyone's hearts were pounding. They had been suffering in the stone room for four days. Every day, about ten people ate in silence and lived in silence. From the emperor to the firemen, everyone had only one thought, which was the country.
The army achieved victory.
The names of those three people could not help but echo in everyone's hearts.
Wu Xin, Wang Mang, Song Cheng...
The generals appointed by the three lords in troubled times.
We are all calm people, and because of the complicated overall situation, we are constantly concerned about the fate of the country. Between the survival of the country, individuals seem so small, like gravel, like dust, and this passion for the motherland gathers together.
And formed a huge belief.
It was this belief that supported them. They gave up their concentration in this cramped secret room, kept their backs straight, and maintained the backbone of Guangli's children.
When sleeping at night, the emperor leaned against the wall, and Wen Jin snuggled on his shoulder. The two of them were silent in the night, but in the uncertain fate, in this secret room where they didn't know whether it was death or life, they accompanied each other.
, just like when they were children in the cold palace, they accompanied each other. She was trembling, because she was cold and afraid. He squeezed her hand tightly and gave her the warmth that belonged to him.
Nangong Jue waited outside the stone gate for four days, but still didn't hear a word from Wen Jin. He was so anxious that he pressed his forehead against the stone gate and coaxed softly: "Jin'er, why don't you give up? You must want me.
I caught your relatives and asked your mother and father to personally ask you to leave the house before you came out? Jin'er, do we have to get to that point where we are irreconcilable? Isn't it right for you to see the current situation clearly and docilely surrender to me?
Is this what a woman should do? Jin'er... Gu just likes you, so why are you so repulsive..."
Wen Jin never said a word to Nangong Jue. She felt that her words "Isn't it you who caused all this? Do I want to thank you?" were the last words she said to Nangong Jue. There was no need for her to say more to him.
Any word.
Nangong Jue didn't get a response from his lover, so he impatiently smashed his fist on the stone gate. Why was it that his cavalry was invincible and defeated Guangli's army and horses, but he couldn't win the heart of the most beautiful girl in the Central Plains! Her husband-in-law has already
Even after he passed away, couldn't she accept him? How could he be no better than a dead person? She was the most hard-hearted woman he had ever seen.
The next day, the good news of Daying arrived again: "Your Highness! The defeated dogs of Guangli have fled to Yuxia Pass, the gate of the Central Plains! After breaking Yuxia Pass, we will enter the Central Plains!"
The next day, the good news of Daying arrived again: "Your Highness, Yuxia Pass has been conquered by us, and the defeated dogs of Guangli have been forced to the moat in the center of the Central Plains! Past the moat, we will reach Lishan Mountain! After passing Lishan Mountain, we will reach the capital of Guangli!"
Nangong Jue had received good news in the past few days and was reluctant to accept it. Qiu Li's allies were in hand, King Guang Li died, General Guang Li ran out of food and fled, and the most beautiful woman in the Central Plains hid indoors. All of this made Nangong Jue smell the unification of the country.
He said in a deep voice: "Chase, take advantage of the victory and pursue with all your strength! Don't ask them to go to Lishan Mountain, force them to the capital! Tell them to die in the imperial city! Put my big flag in it."
Go to Guangli City Tower!"
"Yes. Your Highness."
The good news came again on the sixth day, "Your Highness! Our troops and horses have forced Guangli's troops and horses to Mount Li! They are planning to go up the mountain, but our soldiers have blocked the mountain road. We have blocked their way up the mountain and made them unable to survive."
There is no way to go, so they have to retreat to the capital! They are simply lost and lost dogs!"
"Very good! Very happy!" Nangong Jue said solemnly.
At the foot of Lishan Mountain, Guangli's army and horses were already exhausted. Wu Xin and Song Cheng raised their hands to stop their horses and shouted: "The road up the mountain is blocked by enemy troops. Run away! Escape to the capital! The capital has a protective wall."
, we will be safe once we enter the city wall!"
Daying's army and horses surrounded all the entrances to the mountains of Lishan, blocking the way for Guangli's army to hide up the mountain, and cutting off the way for Guangli's army to hide.
"Have they blocked every road up the mountain?" Wang Mang beat his chest and cried bitterly, "Let's escape to our hometown in the capital! The Daying Cavalry has blocked our way out, and we can't enter Lishan Mountain! Hurry,
Retreat, retreat!"
The Guangli army withdrew, and the Daying army was coming down the mountain road to pursue the victory. However, it is easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down.
With a bang, it was like the earth was shattering. The tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder stones that Prince Wen had buried for two years were detonated by the self-immolation of countless hot-blooded Guangli soldiers. The huge rocks rolled down and flames shot into the sky.
Lishan Mountain collapsed.
The Guangli soldiers ignited the fire of Lishan Mountain with their blood, pulled down Daying's cavalry, and killed hundreds of thousands of Daying's cavalry. For a time, the whole country was wailing, and countless enemy soldiers were killed.
The half-year-long battle came to an abrupt end.
Wu Xin, Wang Mang, and Song Cheng had glaring eyes. The soldiers stood at the foot of the capital. They were quiet at first, then burst into tears, and finally cheered loudly, "Our army has won! Your Majesty's method is effective! Our army has won!"
Wang Mang raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, pulled out a brand new Guangli flag from the city gate, waved it in his hand to boost morale, and hissed: "Kill back to Daying, rescue the lord, and flatten the damn Daying!
"
All of a sudden, the horses' hooves were raised, the beacon fire was ablaze, and the vast army of the great nation returned with their carbines and marched towards the southwest of the motherland!
Stone interior.
The empress, the water and land admiral, the secret guard Qian Chan, the miracle doctor Xu Fanghai, and the soldier Danzi Baoyin all had red eyes because they heard that General Guangli had led troops to Lishan. Did they die in the stone room, or could they still survive?
It was just a moment of respite to escape from the predicament. They had not spoken for six days. They were waiting for the Daying spies to send news.
However, the spies did not show up for another four or five days.
Nangong Jue has been waiting outside the stone gate for ten days. Waiting and waiting has magnified his inner desire infinitely. He can't wait to know the scene where he has won a great victory and Wen Jin willingly falls into his arms.
However, the spies did not arrive, and the spies did not come to report the news for four or five days.
Finally on the tenth day, when it was time for the spies to report the success, the spies came again on time, but Detective Daying's face was ashen and soulless. He came to Nangong Jue on his weak feet, his knees went numb, and he knelt down in front of Nangong Jue.
In front of Jue, he said in defeat: "Your Highness! Our army..."
Nangong Jue waited patiently for the spies' next news about Daying's cavalry's victory in forcing Guangli's defeated troops to the capital. Then the spies said the word "our army" and stopped talking.
Detective Daying's teeth chattered with coldness and his whole body trembled. His excessive nervousness caused stomach cramps and discomfort, "Our army..."
The conceited expression on Nangong Jue's face gradually dissipated, and suddenly a chill came up from the soles of his feet. He shuddered a few times, and his rough face gradually became tattered and solemn. Then he stood up quickly. He stood up too hard, and the chair behind him
Shocked to the ground, he grabbed the spies by the collar, pulled him up, and said sternly: "Why don't you retaliate! What happened to our army?"
"Our army... our army..." The spy's teeth chattered loudly.
Nangong Jue became anxious and his eyes widened with anxiety. He raised the spy's collar a little higher and said, "What happened to our army? Tell me quickly!"
"Our army... was completely wiped out in the enemy's Lishan Mountains." After the spy finished speaking, his body became soft and muddy, "Your Highness, our army was defeated..."
"Wha...what! Defeated...?!" Nangong Jue's whole body became cold, the blood on his face faded, and he sweated one after another, "Gu's cavalry is invincible, how could the whole army be wiped out in a short time? You guys are in front of us.
In the past few days, we have received good news one after another. We have talked about Zhennanguan Pass, Yuxiaguan Pass, and the Central Plains Moat, and we have immediately pushed the enemy to the capital! How could...the whole army be annihilated!"
"Your Highness, we have fallen into a trap. Li Mountain is not a small hill. It towers into the clouds. It is an arsenal. There are tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder stones. The Guangli people set themselves on fire and threw themselves on the mountain. All the stones were burned in an instant.
After detonating, our troops and horses surrounded all parts of Lishan Mountain because they wanted to block the enemy's escape route. Unexpectedly, their original intention was not to escape at all, or to take refuge in Lishan Mountain. Their original intention was to pretend that they would run out of food and grass and tire themselves out of the battle.
The excuse for withdrawing troops is actually to lure our army to take the bait and annihilate our army in one fell swoop!" the spy said.
"How could this happen? They were obviously exhausted. They fought for half a year and were at a stalemate. In the end, they... ran out of food and fodder..." Nangong Jue's hand on the spies' collar gradually loosened. His five hundred thousand cavalry
, the entire army was wiped out, his heart was bleeding, how could this happen?
"Report! Your Highness, what's wrong, the three veteran generals of Guang and Li, with an army of 500,000, have returned to Daying. Now...the troops are approaching the city! Your Highness!" Another guard came on horseback and rolled down on the horse.
He rolled over and crawled on the ground to report.
"What! The troops are approaching the city..." Nangong Jue held his spear in his hand, the spear that killed countless Guangli people.
