Fifty-eight days!
Perhaps for people in other places in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was just an ordinary two months, filled with romance, culture and martial arts, and it passed in the blink of an eye.
But for the people of the remaining one state and five prefectures in Xingling Prefecture and the hundreds of thousands of Western Qin troops, it was a kind of mental and physical torture.
For nearly two months, the army of the Western Regions has been attacking more and more crazily, with all kinds of tricks emerging in an endless stream, and the scenes of swift and massive sieges and captures have become more and more fierce day by day!
The three major passes changed hands several times and were recaptured several times. The city wall was destroyed countless times and was rebuilt again and again by the Western Qin army and the people of the five prefectures desperately.
In two months, the Western Qin army lost more than 60,000 people in battle, including 172 generals, side generals, and battlefield generals, and more than 90,000 servants, sons of aristocratic families, merchants, and warriors.
Of course, the Western Region Army also paid a heavy price. According to incomplete statistics, 190,000 elite infantrymen have been killed.
This is an extremely horrific battle loss!
It is not an exaggeration to say that human life is like a piece of grass!
Both sides are already fighting for their lives, and countless people are dying every day!
Tragic heroic deeds happen every day!
Everywhere was like a lake of slurry, a mess.
The people in one state and five prefectures went from full of hope to disappointment, then from disappointment to despair, and finally from despair to numbness.
But what the common people and soldiers couldn't see, Xin Zhuo's plan was very effective, even extraordinary——
The enemy countries in the Western Region behind the Thirteen Kingdoms have begun backstabbing and attacking!
The emperors and ministers of the Thirteen Kingdoms were initially deceived by the envoys of the Western Qin Army, and then were completely deceived and lame by the arrogant words of Duke Taixun and a group of Confucian scholars. Several tokens and imperial edicts were used to urgently recruit the army to retreat.
The harems of the emperors of the Thirteen Kingdoms were already crying, and the ladies were cursing.
The food and grass of the armies of the Thirteen Kingdoms were burned countless times.
The leading generals of the Thirteen Kingdoms were anxious and worried, and a group of dignified masters with blistering mouths and red and swollen eyes.
When things have reached this point, the army of the Western Regions is stuck in a quagmire, and its combat power is extremely weak!
Qinghu Bay, a joint camp of Western Region armies stretching for eighty miles.
Hundreds of horses galloped over and jumped off their horses in front of the commander's tent. They were the top generals and princes in the Thirteen Kingdoms Pyramid.
A group of people crowded into the huge handsome tent, where hundreds of generals had gathered.
There were three people sitting on the commander's seat - Si Liuqi, the commander of the Guifang Kingdom, Seth Na, the commander of the Gumo Kingdom, and Gou Heide, the commander of the Anxi Kingdom.
Gou Dehei and Xin Zhuo met once. Needless to say, Si Xiuqi was a majestic middle-aged man with a high nose, eagle eyes, and yellow hair that was typical of the aristocrats of the Western Regions. He was the son of Guifang's national master, forty-eight years old. Years old, a great master of martial arts, he has great strategies and is especially good at leading troops. He fought many fierce battles with Jiang Wen back then, and he fought thirty-eight battles in his life without losing a single one.
Sethna is a typical middle-aged female general from the Western Regions, with a big belly, thick lips, and blue eyes. She looks like a fat woman of a grassland herdsman, but no one dares to underestimate her because she is the Queen of Gumo Kingdom. My sister, an iron-blooded general, and a general in the Western Regions, has fought in all directions for twenty-seven years, sixty-seven battles, and not once was defeated!
But at this moment, the faces of the three commanders were terrifyingly gloomy.
"The three major passes of the Western Qin Army are like the buttocks of a horse and a mouse. They are dirty, smelly, and highly poisonous. They cannot be beaten down and cannot be chewed up. The man below is already in a mood!"...
"Too many people have died, we can't fight anymore!"
"That's all. Your Majesty, the clan leaders, and the prime ministers have already sent us more than a dozen tokens. Some people in the country regard us as rebels!"
"Western countries have invaded our land and captured our population!"
"Our food and grass have been burned countless times by those bastards!"
"The ladies in the palace cried bitterly, saying that we harmed those eleven princes and princesses!"
"Three commanders! We can't hold on any longer! Withdraw our troops!"
"We suspect that we were used as a weapon by the ministers of Zhou Dynasty!"
"There is an old saying in Da Zhou, which is...it beats the chicken with flying eggs!"
…
In the commander's tent, hundreds of generals from the Western Regions had faces filled with confusion and pain, and they all recounted their grievances.
The three famous generals Si Liuqi, Seth Na and Gou Heide had gloomy expressions on their faces. They knew that what the generals said was true, but as the commanders of a million-strong army, if a single move could affect the whole body, the general's life would be affected. Qin, his tenth generation rival, was about to eat them all, how could he be willing to do so?
No matter how much pressure we face, we must persevere.
Seeing that the generals in the tent were extremely angry, Sethna asked in a deep voice: "How did he reply to the letter of surrender to Jiang Yuqing, the king of Western Qin County?"
"We didn't see anyone at all, but his servant said..."
A counselor from the Western Regions looked ugly and hesitated, "He said we are all idiots. He is in Xingling Mansion and wants to die!"
The three commanders took a deep breath and thought together and hissed: "Two days later! The last decisive battle, millions of troops will all press forward, capture Jiang Yuqing, and execute her in Lingchi!"
"Here!"
…
Xingling Mansion.
Government office, side hall.
"Jiang Yuqing! You unfilial son, what are your plans? Why don't you tell your uncle? The Western Qin Army only has so much wealth, and it's almost over!"
Jiang Hu's health has recovered more than half, and he can walk without crutches. However, in the past two months, he has not even been able to see his nephew. His extravagant hope of having an extraordinary martial artist in his family has gradually been replaced by Xi Qin. The fierce consumption of the army disappeared, leaving only panic and panic.
The Western Qin Army has been the Jiang family's fortune for hundreds of years. Once it is defeated, everything will be completely over!
What do you mean by the flick of your finger? It's all children's nonsense!
It was a pity that no matter how he cursed and questioned, the nephew was always hiding in the palace and could not be seen by anyone. He had not even appeared for more than ten days.
[In view of the general environment, after cursing for half an hour, the palace door still showed no intention to open. He had no choice but to return to his courtyard dejectedly, looked at the three elders and friends of the three major sects, looked at the sky and sighed: "I have already Confused! I can’t understand what this nephew is thinking!”
Jia Sikong and the other three looked at each other and were a little confused. They always remembered Jiang Yuqing's words, "A million-strong army can be destroyed with a snap of the fingers." As time went by, they became more curious about war than about Jiang Yuqing's terrifying talent and appearance. I was so afraid that my soul would be stained that I didn’t understand it, so I waited for two full months and was unwilling to leave.
In the side hall.
A blood-red golden lotus flew in the air, exuding bursts of mysterious aura, a perfect combination of awe-inspiring, vast, evil, and terrifying! ….
Suddenly, the blood-red golden lotus flashed and reached Xin Zhuo's sleeves. His face showed a trace of exhaustion, but his eyes showed a trace of excitement!
It took more than two months to get the "true treasure of my life"! He even had the urge to find someone to fight right away!
He breathed a sigh of relief, sat cross-legged in his book, and once again scanned the war documents, folk customs, food and grass reserves, and people's hearts in the entire Western Qin land in the past two months.
In fact, although he had not left his house for half a month, he still knew the affairs of the entire Western Qin land and the thirteen countries in the Western Regions.
decisive battle! The opportunity to defeat the Thirteen Kingdoms in one fell swoop is coming soon!
"sweet potato!"
"The slave is here!"
Hongshu hurriedly walked into the hall and looked at her county king with complicated eyes. With her contact with Western Qin in the past two months, she had completely integrated into the future and honor and disgrace of the Western Qin army.
But now it is not only her, but also the old commanders, old generals, generals, Cui Ying'er, Xiong Zhang, Murong Xiu and others, as well as the common people of one state and five prefectures, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops of the Western Qin Dynasty. No one can understand the prince’s thoughts anymore!
So many people died, but he didn't even say a word of comfort.
It seems that so many lives have been ignored! Treat countless lives like ants!
Everyone knows what he is planning to do, but do they think he is only focused on practicing martial arts and has forgotten about it?
This joke is too big!
"How many days are there left for food and grass?" Xin Zhuo asked aloud.
Hongshu lowered his head and replied: "There are still two days left.
Empty, hundreds of thousands of troops are completely starved, and Western Qin is about to be destroyed! "
The tone was somewhat complaining.
Xin Zhuo walked down the steps of the bookcase and looked at the corner of the table full of weird medicinal fragrance and jars. Even though the medicine residue was gone, it still exuded a strange and exciting color: "The medicinal materials have been put into Zhang Guangpu, Sun Miaoer, Li The bodies of Juguan and nineteen military lieutenant colonels?"
Hongshu blinked: "It's completely penetrated, and they don't know it yet!"
After a pause, he lowered his voice: "Is it a plague?"
Xin Zhuo said expressionlessly: "Recruit them!"
Hongshu left in a hurry, and after a while he brought Zhang Guangpu, Sun Miaoer, Li Juguan and nineteen fierce-looking Baizhan captains of the Western Qin Army. A group of people looked at Xin Zhuo without knowing why, with nervous expressions and uneasy hearts, and bowed He saluted: "Your Majesty!"
Xin Zhuo played with the original two small swords and smiled: "Are you loyal to Western Qin?"
More than 20 people looked at each other, gritted their teeth and saluted again: "We are loyal to the prince and to the Western Qin, and heaven and earth can learn from it!"
Zhang Guangpu, Sun Miaoer and Li Juguan could hardly conceal their excitement. After two months of idle work, would they finally be reused?
Xin Zhuo leaned forward and said, "Very good! I don't want your loyalty anymore. Go and surrender to the Western Region Army. Remember to scold me in front of them. The harsher the scolding, the better. Let's go now!"
"Well……"
Prince, are you crazy? .
