As Dongfang Yingzheng's edict was issued, the entire Xia Kingdom immediately entered war mode, and countless materials and personnel were mobilized to the front line.
On the day of the expedition, people from the entire royal city flocked to see off the soldiers who were going to the battlefield.
At this time, in the wilderness outside the royal city, 200,000 troops were ready to go, with military flags in a continuous line, with no end in sight.
King Dongfang Yingzheng of Xia, along with Ye Yun and all the civil and military officials of Xia, stood on the towering wall of the royal city, quietly watching this mighty and majestic army.
In the decades of stability in the Xia Kingdom, this was the first time such a large-scale troop mobilization was carried out. However, at this time, the people in the royal city who came to see him off did not feel the same fear as before the war.
Because, this time, it was Nangong Wudi who led the troops on the expedition.
He fought countless battles in his life and won every battle, large and small. He had already become a patron saint in the hearts of the people of Xia Kingdom.
With Nangong Wudi personally leading the expedition, they had no doubt that this battle could be won.
Nangong Wudi was wearing a battle armor representing the status of a marshal, with a dark purple cloak floating in the wind behind his back. He took a deep look at the people in the royal city, and then waved his hand.
"Army attack!"
Following Nangong Wudi's order, the 200,000-strong army began to set off in an orderly manner. The orderly footsteps fell on the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
For a moment, there was a loud noise like thunder outside the royal city.
After Nangong Wudi went on an expedition, on the wall of the royal city, Dongfang Yingzheng waited until there was no trace of the 200,000 troops before announcing his return to the palace.
After Dongfang Yingzheng left, Ye Yun went directly back to his mansion to pack his things.
Previously in the court, Dongfang Yingzheng told Ye Yun that after the army supporting Qingzhou set off, he would start preparing to patrol the border to review troops.
…
At the border of Xia Kingdom, two peaks with a height of 10,000 meters stand side by side, standing on the earth like sharp swords, as if they want to pierce the dark sky.
Here is the border between Zhao and Xia. The two countries use these two tall peaks as the boundary, and the wide land between the two peaks as a buffer zone. They build fortresses at both ends to guard against it.
On the Xia Kingdom side, the fortress built was called Shuangfeng Pass. The city wall was more than thirty meters high, and the entire body was made of extremely hard boulders.
Half a million troops have been stationed in Shuangfeng Pass for a long time. At this time, the night is thick, and the lights in Shuangfeng Pass are brightly lit. In this night, it looks like a giant beast that chooses people to devour.
This is the first line of defense for Xia State against Zhao State. If Zhao State wants to invade Xia State, it must break through Shuangfeng Pass.
However, in this tightly defended fortress, an unknown change was taking place at this time.
Under the bright lights, somewhere in Shuangfeng Pass, there was a scene of blood flowing like a river.
"Gao Fei, don't you really think that you can kill me just by relying on these old, weak, sick and disabled people under your command?"
"You are still so stupid!"
The speaker was a strong man wearing battle armor with a golden cloak tied behind his back, and opposite him was a young general with a resolute face.
If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely exclaim in surprise.
Because in Xia's army, only generals at the level of Zhenguo generals can wear golden cloaks on their armor.
"Dong Zhan, as a general who governs the country, why do you do this?"
The young general in battle armor named Gao Fei couldn't help but yell at Dong Zhan after taking a few deep breaths.
General Dong Zhan couldn't help but sneered after hearing Gao Fei's words, and said to Gao Fei with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"Gao Fei, you are still so stupid. You have followed me for so many years and you haven't made any progress at all."
However, facing Dong Zhan's sarcasm, Gao Fei only had anger and incomprehension on his face.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"You are treason. Are you worthy of His Majesty, worthy of the people of Xia Kingdom, and worthy of your own ancestors?"
By the end, Gao Fei's tone had become hysterical.
"It's too late for you to stop now!"
However, when General Dong Zhan heard this, he just spit out disdain and looked at Gao Fei as if he were a fool.
"Treason?"
As if he thought of something funny, a smile appeared on Dong Zhan's face.
"When did I say that I was from Xia country?"
Facing Gao Fei, Dong Zhan said calmly:
"I have always been a member of the Zhao Kingdom. For so many years, I have been lurking in the Xia Kingdom and working for the Xia Kingdom incognito, just to wait for this day!"
"do you know?"
"How the hell did I get here all these years."
The tone became more and more intense, and Dong Zhan's mood suddenly became manic.
"Every night, I dream about those Zhao compatriots who I killed and took their heads to receive the reward."
Gao Fei looked at Dong Zhan in disbelief. He originally thought that Dong Zhan was corrupted by Zhao's promise of money and power. He never expected that Dong Zhan was actually a spy arranged by Zhao in Xia.
"impossible!"
"This must be fake!"
It was unbelievable in his heart, but when Gao Fei thought about Dong Zhan's incredible achievements in the past, he felt his body getting colder and colder, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The State of Zhao spent a lot of money to send Dong Zhan as a spy, and every year he sacrificed the lives of a large number of Zhao State soldiers to pave the way for Dong Zhan.
Gao Fei doesn't dare to think deeply about Zhao Guo's thoughts now.
"Gao Fei, you have been with me for a long time. Although you are a little stupid, you are still capable."
"After the Xia Kingdom is captured, this general will be the marshal of the country, and you will be the new general of the country."
"How about it, don't be stubborn. This is a height that you will never reach in your lifetime. And as long as you continue to be loyal to me, you can get them all!"
Looking at Gao Fei in disbelief, Dong Zhan said to Gao Fei seductively.
However, his words only drew an angry glare from Gao Fei.
"Pooh!"
"You spy, I was so blind when I admired you so much before!"
"Even if I, Gao Fei, die here today, I will never collude with a spy like you!"
Looking at Dong Zhan, Gao Fei's eyes showed no concealed murderous intent.
As soon as he finished speaking, terrifying energy fluctuations emanated from Gao Fei's body. Judging from the intensity of his aura, he was a strong half-step martial artist.
At the same time as the Yuan Power exploded, a shadow flashing with white light appeared behind Gao Fei due to the gathering of Yuan Power.
Finally, it condensed into a long sword that looked like substance.
This is the Huang-level martial spirit awakened by Gao Fei. Its ability is that it can be used as Gao Fei's weapon to directly attack the enemy, and at the same time increase Gao Fei's attack power...
