The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

The imperial army here has formulated a new battle plan, and far away in the capital of Xihai Kingdom, the King of Xihai and the nobles are preparing for this year's Nowruz Festival.

More and more goods from the imperial court were directly transported to Persia through sea trade, and sold to distant Europe. The income of Xihai Kingdom last year was less and less.Until the Xihai Kingdom sent troops to raid the defenders of the Daling Dynasty in the West Sea.

Who knows that the people of the Great Spirit Dynasty are rich and the country is strong, but the army is vulnerable. How can it compare with Erlang on the horseback of Xihai Kingdom?The two kings of Nan'an, one died in battle, and the other was captured. Not to mention the Central Plains people threw away their helmets and armor, how many people surrendered before they even started fighting.They are all bloodless things!

The old emperor of the Great Spirit Dynasty was really old and faint, or the Great Spirit Dynasty could not send anyone. It is said that a weaker royal child came this time.

The sixth prince is the bravest son under the Xihai King's knees. This time he led the team to rob the food and grass of the Great Spirit Dynasty, and deal with the young prince who was weak in the Great Spirit Dynasty.

Therefore, the entire capital city of Xihai Kingdom, whether it is the king of Xihai or the princes and nobles, these days are filled with joy.As long as the food and grass of the little prince of the Daling Dynasty were robbed, Xihai Kingdom could have a rich Nowruz festival this time.

The Nowruz Festival is held at the end of winter and the beginning of spring every year, which is equivalent to the annual festival in the Central Plains, and it is of great significance to the Xihai Kingdom.As long as the six princes return victorious this time, the Nowruz Festival can be held with great excitement, which indicates a good year in the coming year.

Even at the high level of Xihai State, the king of Xihai and his ministers are discussing how to deal with the envoys from the Great Spirit Dynasty who came to ask for peace.The imperial army has already lost two battles in two battles, and the supreme commander died and one was captured. The morale of the Xihai Kingdom is high.In addition, the cavalry of the Xihai Kingdom this time also included Ma Chang, the soldiers who formulated the tactics of the Xihai Kingdom felt that the six princes went to rob food this time.

At the beginning, everyone in Xihai Kingdom was full of confidence, but the six princes of Xihai Kingdom had not returned for a long time, which also cast an indescribable shadow on the festive atmosphere.Especially the princes and nobles of Xihai dare not mention it to the king of Xihai.

After waiting day by day, the king of Xihai finally waited for the stragglers who went out with the six princes this time, but fled back in embarrassment.At this time, the king of Xihai knew that not only the elite cavalry of Xihai Kingdom had been defeated, but also the sixth prince who was the most valiant and capable of fighting under his knees was also killed.

Upon receiving this news, the government and the people of Xihai Kingdom were furious, extremely angry and scared.

The sixth prince is the number one warrior in the Xihai Kingdom, and this time he brought all the elite, so why is he not even capable of breaking through and fleeing back to the Xihai Kingdom?Could it be that Ma Chang, who surrendered, turned out to be a false surrender and deliberately lured the Xihai National Army into the bait?

The king of Xihai interrogated the stragglers who fled back to Xihai country for several days.These people were originally carefully selected warriors of the Xihai Kingdom, but now they all seem to be scared out of their wits. They are tall and big, but they are indescribably tired.Just looking at their appearance, the king of Xihai felt that they were not worthy of being the sons of the country of Xihai.

But since the king of Xihai dared to launch a war against the imperial court and won consecutive battles, he was naturally not an ordinary person.In order to obtain as detailed information as possible, King Xihai also patiently listened to these deserters talking about the battlefield.

Alur was one of the warriors who went out with the six princes this time, and he was also born in a noble family. He escaped his life and returned to Xihai Kingdom.Seeing that the king personally asked about the affairs on the battlefield, Alur did not dare to hide anything, and told the whole story of the grain robbery battle.

As for the Han prince who led only [-] warriors to the heart of the national army in the West Sea, and the Han princess who descended from the heavens, the siege of the imperial army was relieved.Not only did Alur not hide it, he even exaggerated a little.

The exaggerated part is not how the princes and concubines of the Han use their soldiers like gods, but how the couple are supercilious, which made King Xihai frown.

In short, it's not that the deserters are incompetent, it's that the princes and concubines of the Han people are not human beings.

In addition to Alur's confession, the king of Xihai and his ministers also interrogated other soldiers of the Xihai country who fled back one after another. The more news they got about the food war, the more the king of Xihai felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was colder than the cold wind on the winter grassland. still cold.

The sixth prince died, although King Xihai was heartbroken, but his remaining rationality told King Xihai that this was no longer the most important thing right now.

If the Xihai Kingdom wins the imperial court three times in a row, it will destroy the confidence of the Daling Dynasty, and severely damage the vitality of the imperial army. It is possible that the imperial army will be defeated and seek peace.But after all, the Daling Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population. If the Daling Dynasty wins once and regains the fighting morale, it is only a matter of time before the Xihai Kingdom loses.

In fact, Xihai Kingdom's initial battle strategy was to take advantage of the winter to fight. It only fought three times. After three victories, it waited for the Great Spirit Dynasty to come to peace talks, and the bottom line of the peace talks was to continue to trade.Of course, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the agreement, the king of Xihai will also send the prince to the Daling Dynasty to learn the Chinese culture, and ask to marry the princess of the court to make peace with the court.The two sides kept each other hostages.

As long as the grand strategy of three battles and three victories can be achieved, these are trivial details, and even the king of Xihai will accept no matter what woman the court sends.As long as the trade routes are opened again, the interests of the West Sea Kingdom can be guaranteed.But the sixth prince's defeat, even the best plan before, was in vain.

The king of Xihai seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and discussed the matter with several princes in power and several noble ministers.

The eldest prince of the Xihai Kingdom is approaching his age, he is tall and strong, and he is somewhat calm in his work.It's just that when the sixth prince became an adult, he was extremely talented in martial arts, and Xihai Kingdom was also adept at martial arts, so the sixth prince's limelight overshadowed the eldest prince.

The conflict of interests is not exempt from the royal family of Xihai.Although the eldest prince didn't show it on the surface, he didn't wish the sixth prince well in his heart.The sixth prince died in battle, and the eldest prince just pretended to be sad to show the king of Xihai.

The eldest prince said: "Father, my son is willing to lead the warriors of Xihai Kingdom to meet the enemy and avenge the sixth brother."

Heh, to say it's revenge is to take the opportunity to seize power.

In the past, there was the sixth prince who was the target of public criticism. Several powerful princes in Xihai Kingdom shared the same hatred, while the other younger brothers were brothers and friends with the eldest prince.Now that the sixth prince is dead, the third prince hastily rushed out after hearing what the eldest prince said: "Father, it is my duty to avenge my son for the sixth brother."

The eldest prince and the third prince expressed their opinions, and the other princes also expressed their opinions one after another, for fear of being inferior in the fight for real power.Whoever goes to war will have the military power, it is not important to avenge the sixth prince, it is important not to let other living brothers compete for the first place.

The king of Xihai was the one who had defeated the imperial court and got married in his previous life, so he naturally knew what his sons were up to.But when it comes to military literacy, King Xihai sighed secretly. "Hmph, this king wants to kill Situ Zhuo with his own hands, so that he can relieve the hatred in his heart. This time, this king will personally conquer, and the first, third, and fourth princes will follow me. The second and fifth princes will guard the capital. .”

I'd better go on my own, none of you will be the opponents of the little princes and concubines of the Han people.The King of the West Sea thought to himself.

The king of Xihai was very strong, he decided to conquest himself, and several princes and ministers did not object.The general direction has been agreed upon, and there are still many detailed plans to be discussed.

After arranging the defense of the capital, the King of the West Sea, Nuruz, took his soldiers to the front line of the confrontation between the two countries along the West Sea.

In ancient times, there were no detailed national borders, and the ecological conditions in many places in the Western Regions were not good, which was neither suitable for long-term stationing, nor suitable for the people to survive.The places where the two armies confront each other are often mountain passes, passes, and arteries.The entire front line where the Daling Dynasty and the Xihai Kingdom confront each other is collectively referred to as Xihai Yanzi.

Because of the difficult conditions and repeated defeats, Xihai Yanzi's deputy commander, the Wei Xiu Department, has been trapped on the front line for several months, and his morale is low.Now I am struggling to support and wait for the arrival of imperial reinforcements.

Wei Xiu also knew about the robbery of food by the Xihai National Army when King Zhuojun was marching.After learning about the battle, Wei Xiu admired Zhuo Junwang and his wife's ability to lead troops, but at the same time was terrified.

How the Xihai National Army bypassed their own line of defense, he had no idea.If King Zhuojun loses again, wouldn't he be made dumplings by the Xihai National Army returning from victory and the Xihai National Army confronting the front line?Even if he escaped with his life by chance, he would be severely punished.

Although he has not seen King Zhuojun yet, in fact, King Zhuojun has already saved his life.

Wei Xiu has been building fortifications these days to prevent the invasion of the Xihai National Army, and at the same time he has sent his cronies to welcome King Zhuo and his party.

On this day, Situ Zhuo led the army to the front line of Xihai Yanzi. The frontline soldiers who had been trapped for several months finally got supplies and their morale was greatly boosted.

Wei Xiu greeted Situ Zhuo, met this thunderous young prince, but did not see the princess who could lead troops to attack the enemy and turn the tide of the battle, nor did he see Zhou Anzhi, a dignified general who was specially sent by the emperor to accompany Situ Zhuo to the feudal domain. Wei Xiu was quite surprised.

After thinking about it again and again, Wei Xiu finally asked the doubt in his heart: "Why don't you see the princess and General Zhou?"

Because there were people like Ma Chang among the frontline defenders, Situ Zhuo did not inform Wei Xiu of the battle plan in full.He only said: "Yu'er is a female relative after all. Now that there is a truce, there is no need to ask them to hurry. I will ask General Zhou to escort Yu'er and his party, and I will be there soon."

The lord has his own arrangements, so it is inconvenient for Wei Xiu to ask more questions.So he asked Situ Zhuo, should he rest first or inspect the front line first?

Even if there was a short truce, it was still a time of war. Situ Zhuo naturally raced against the clock. He only drank a few sips of tea before letting Wei Xiu accompany him to inspect the front line.During the inspection, Wei Xiu was also asked to introduce the situation on the battlefield.

"At the beginning, we killed the sixth prince of the Xihai Kingdom, but the elite soldiers of the Xihai Kingdom who came to rob the food were not wiped out by the imperial army. The scattered soldiers who escaped should have sent the news of the sixth prince's death back to Xihai by now. The country. The Xihai National Army is about to overwhelm the border." Situ Zhuo said.

Wei Xiu also agreed with Situ Zhuo's judgment, and added: "If you guard the line of defense and don't allow the Xihai National Army to break through, the general will have some confidence. It's just..." Wei Xiu's face showed a bit of embarrassment: "The general is ashamed. It is said that the land bordering the imperial court and Xihai Kingdom is barren except Xihai Yanzi. The general still does not know how the six princes of the Xihai Kingdom bypassed the defense line of the general and rushed to the prince. If the Xihai National Army used the old trick Do it again... the general will send people to patrol the border, and whenever he finds that the enemy troops may cross the border, the general will definitely send people to plug the loopholes."

Situ Zhuo said: "General Wei only needs to guard the line of defense, and the other kings are free to arrange."

When the former King of Nan'an was killed in battle and then captured, Wei Xiu could still support the West Sea for several months, and he was not completely useless. He quickly thought of it: "Could it be that General Zhou and the princess are in the rear? Considering the situation that the Xihai National Army made a detour to attack the rear? If the Xihai National Army repeats its old tricks, there will naturally be General Zhou and the Princess to give them good fruit? The prince is wise."

Situ Zhuo hummed softly, and continued to ask about the situation on the defense line.

The two groups of cavalry led by Daiyu and Zhou Anzhi were indeed keeping back moves, but instead of passively setting up defenses in the rear, they had already moved forward and outflanked.

Situ Zhuo arrived at the front line just in time. He had just learned about the situation on the front line, and even before the army he brought was fully settled, King Xihai came to the city with his own army.
