"Oh?!" Jin Yanhuan re-entered the pavilion and said in surprise: "That little devil of yours, what did he ask you to bring?!"

"Hehe! He reassures you. Even if you are not my classmate and friend of Du Zhentian, because of your reputation as General Zhenhai! I won't use assassination methods to deal with you! He said that he would only use it on the battlefield. I will defeat you head-on with all kinds of strategies!" Du Zhentian laughed dryly and said what Du Long had said.

At the other end of the wine table, Zhenhai General Jin Yanhuan suddenly suffocated, and then he felt relieved. He didn't believe that his words were leaked. He could only think that Du Long was too evil, and he could guess his own little things in an instant. What a trick!

"Alas!" With a long sigh, Jin Yanhuan reached out to lift the wine pot, filled Du Zhentian with wine, and then poured it for himself. Then he picked up the wine glass and said, "Zhentian! I really envy you! You gave birth to such a defiant person. Son! You are truly worthy of being the Queen of the Immortal Alliance Saint. Come, let me toast you!"

Du Zhentian cheerily raised his glass and clinked it with him, drank it down in one gulp, and then asked: "Old Jin! I heard that you have married several wives over the years, and you have children in groups. How are you like me? It’s just a son, but he’s even better than me, and I don’t have any sense of accomplishment as a father anymore… Sigh!”

"Haha... Since you are so dissatisfied, how about I trade all my children with you for this son?!" Jin Yanhuan was obviously very disdainful of his words.

"Tch! No matter how many children you have, what's the use of having children who are not your biological children?!"

"..."

In the pavilion, these two close classmates, who had not seen each other for twenty or thirty years, were drinking and eating, chatting in front of the sea and the sky. They were talking about some embarrassing things about each other when they were young, and about the carefree life at that time, etc.

In Haotian's handsome tent, Du Long seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed, but in fact he was always paying attention to what was going on with his father. Although he heard Jin Yanhuan say that he would not touch his father, he did not dare to be careless at all!

In addition to paying attention to his father's safety, he also eavesdropped on the conversation between the two men and kept in mind some of the embarrassing things that happened to his father when he was young. Unexpectedly, he had so many embarrassing things in his youth!

…

Just as the west-route army led by Du Long arrived at the capital of the Blue Moon Empire, the middle-route and east-route armies were also advancing southward in an orderly manner!

Du Fengzhong and the old emperor went to the Central Route Army to support them, while Wei Xuan went to the East Route Army to support the Wei family's legions. There were fewer acropolises on the East Route, so their journey south went very smoothly!

However, the middle road encountered more difficult bones, and the first one to bear the brunt was Surabaya City on the south bank of the Hansi River. Fortunately, Du Long asked Du Fengzhong and the old emperor to rush to the middle road to support them, and then they quickly opened the Surabaya City Gate with their spiritual strength. , and then this strong city on the south bank of the Hans River was captured!

I think back then, the Blue Moon Empire had been attacking the Chishui Kingdom for many years, but could not defeat it. In addition to the fact that the Chishui Kingdom also had spiritual strength to guard it, the gate of Chiyue Pass facing the Blue Moon Empire was directly blocked, even for a master of spiritual strength. It cannot be opened easily, which is one of the main reasons why Chiyue Pass is intact!

The Surabaya City area has been in peaceful times for too long. Although its military equipment is not weak, it still lacks the experience to deal with real wars. Only then did the two spiritual masters of Haotian easily open the city gate!

After defeating Surabaya City, the army from the middle route continued to move south, followed closely by the acropolis of Zhanshan, Jinlong, and Tianqi, waiting for them to gnaw down one by one.

These acropolis are the strategic military centers of the Blue Moon Empire. Therefore, for the middle army, it is much more difficult to capture each city than the other two armies. It takes a lot of time and effort, and the speed of the middle army's advance will naturally be slower. More than doubled!

When Du Long arrived at the Blue Moon Capital City, they captured two important military towns, Sishui City and Zhanshan City!

There are still two cities, Jinlong and Tianqi, that need to be conquered!

On the second day after Du Zhentian met Jin Yanhuan, the East Route Wei Army finally successfully arrived at the east gate of Blue Moon Capital City and met up with the main West Route Army outside Blue Moon Capital City!

The east-route army consists of the two armies of the Wei clan with a total of 400,000 people, plus a reserve army of 200,000 people, and the original Haoyue Kingdom army of 200,000 people, for a total of 800,000 horses!

With Du Long's 700,000 troops and a total of 1.5 million horses, they surrounded the Blue Moon Capital City in a half-moon shape, leaving only the south gate. I wonder what kind of medicine is sold in Du Long's gourd!

In order to facilitate the command, Du Long specially set up the headquarters in the camp opposite the north gate of Blue Moon Capital City. At this moment, in the commander's tent, the generals of the major armies of the East and West routes who had finally joined forces, and some important lieutenants were all gathered here!

"Marshal Du Long! Our 1.5 million-strong army is enough to surround the entire Blue Moon Capital City. As long as we attack with all our strength, we should be able to defeat the Blue Moon Capital City in one fell swoop. Why do you want to leave the south gate alone? Do you want to stand still?!" The Prairie King asked with some confusion.

"Haha! King Harujie, don't be impatient. In the capital of the Blue Moon Empire, there are 800,000 troops who have come from all over the country to support us. We cannot swallow them all in one go! We must wait for the army in the middle to take down all the northern acropolis. Only by eradicating it will we have no worries and can we deal with this largest city in the Star Continent with peace of mind!" Du Long responded with a nonchalant smile.

"Since we know that the Blue Moon Empire has support troops constantly entering the capital through the south gate of Blue Moon Capital, and many nobles of Blue Moon Capital are escaping from the south gate, why don't we block the south gate and prevent anyone from entering the capital? Where are people coming in and out?!" Kang Tuo, the leader of the Guide Army, interjected in confusion.

"That's right! With our 1.2 million troops, we can drive Blue Moon's 2 to 3 million troops across the grassland. Why did the Marshal arrive at Blue Moon's capital city and, with superior strength, dare not launch an attack with all his strength? ?!" Prairie King added again.

"I'll put your two questions together and answer them together! First of all, the coach in Blue Moon Capital City is no longer a drunkard, but the world-famous General Zhenhai!

Secondly, during this critical battle, the reason why I did not block and surround the south gate was to let the last soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire see that there was an escape route! Save them from having to fight with trapped beasts, which will cause huge losses to us! "

"Could it be that the marshal is afraid of General Zhenhai?! Otherwise, why did he change his past siege methods and hesitate to move forward?!" Du Long's answer immediately aroused the question of a general.

This guy's slightly rude words attracted dissatisfied looks from everyone on the spot. You must know that Du Long is an extremely noble existence in the minds of all Haotian generals. How can anyone treat him rudely?

Waving his hands nonchalantly, Du Long looked at the general with a smile and said: "You are General Qin Sen, the commander of the Jinghai Regiment of the Tongguang Customs Reserve Corps, right?! How could I, Du Long, be afraid of any opponent?! It's just that at the cost of sacrifice A war in which a large number of subordinates are victorious is something I, Du Long, disdains!

Since all the soldiers believe in Du Long, they put their lives in Du Long's hands! I will try my best to bring them back alive, instead of letting them die in a foreign country and leaving their relatives at home in endless pain!

Seeing that this expedition was about to return to the court with a great victory, Du Long had to be more cautious, not wanting to make too big a command error at the last moment, resulting in heavy casualties!

Therefore, this battle does not require the complete annihilation of the enemy forces. As long as we can drive them out of the Blue Moon Empire capital, we have plenty of opportunities to slowly deal with the remaining defeated generals! "

"The Marshal said it well! After so many battles, we have wiped out countless enemies, but our own casualties have been reduced to the minimum. And all of this is the result of the Marshal!"

"That's right! The marshal loves his soldiers like his own children, which is a blessing to all the soldiers of Haotian!"

"..."

Immediately, a large number of generals spoke in support of Du Long, which seemed to arouse public outrage. Qin Sen, the commander-in-chief of the Jinghai Regiment who was born in the royal family, hurriedly lowered his head and remained silent, not daring to say any more nonsense!

After waving his hands, Du Long waited for the generals to calm down before continuing: "I have decided! Before the army in the middle conquers the last two Blue Moon Empire acropolis, we will definitely not attack the Blue Moon Empire capital and attack the south of the Blue Moon Empire. No interception or blockade is allowed outside the gate, and the people in Blue Moon Capital City can freely enter and exit through the south gate!"

"Master Marshal! Don't you even intercept the troops or supplies that come to reinforce the Blue Moon Capital?!" Kang Tuo asked again.

"That's right! No one is allowed to come in or out through the front gate of Blue Moon City. In addition, we have to send this news to the city!" Du Long replied with bright eyes.

Under Du Long's strange general order, Haotian's 1.5 million army did not besiege the Blue Moon Capital City. Instead, they preserved the south gate passage and even publicized it.

In the Blue Moon Capital City, ordinary people who heard the news took their families and left through the south gate. In the end, they were not attacked at all. For a while, the people in the Blue Moon Capital City who were originally hesitant all believed it.

More and more people began to flee from the South Gate. In response, Zhenhai General Jin Yanhuan did not stop them, but allowed them to leave. He only told his men to pay close attention to the enemy's situation outside the South Gate and not relax at all. alert!

During this period, an incredible thing happened!

Emperor Lan Yue actually escaped from the south gate with several of his most beloved concubines, as well as princes and princesses, dressed up as ordinary nobles, and hundreds of expert guards!

Their escape was actually under the surveillance of the Ringwraith beauty. Du Long had already learned everything. The reason why he let go of the south gate of Blue Moon Capital City and ignored it was because he had been waiting for this day!

In fact, what he said to the generals at the beginning were just his thoughts on the surface. Secretly, he also wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, and that snake was none other than the Emperor of the Blue Moon Empire, Jin Yanzhen!

The beauty of the Ring Spirit accidentally discovered that the emperor had long wanted to escape from the capital, but he had been suffering from the lack of proper opportunities, and Du Long wanted to create opportunities for him!

Regardless of whether they are soldiers, nobles, or ordinary people, it is safe to go in and out of the South Gate. The emperor specially sent several troops for this purpose. After going in and out of the South Gate several times without encountering any danger, he finally made up his mind. Escaped!

Soon, a pursuit team consisting of two thousand flame tiger cavalry set off from the Haotian Camp. The target was the Blue Moon Emperor and his party who pretended to be an ordinary noble family from the south gate of the Blue Moon Capital City!
