Under the brilliance of the sunset, the snow in the Pamir Mountains for tens of thousands of years reflects the colorful colors, and the weeds on the plains are undulating, like golden waves.

In the evening, the two sides, who had fought hard for a day, gathered their troops and stopped fighting. A golden light reflected on the rammed loess wall, making the ancient city that lies on the western foot of the Pamir Mountains look brilliant and peaceful. However, if you look closely, the red and black blood stains are particularly eye-catching that this is a bloody battlefield. Black smoke rose inside and outside the city. Although Emperor Yuande Chen Xuan was besieged by rebels for several months, he still had kindness towards his subjects and specially agreed to allow the siege to fight.

When the corpse was collected intermittently, the ground had been soaked with blood. The exhausted soldiers dragged the corpse slowly, and piled up into hills not far away, and then poured on tiny oil and burned them. More than a dozen priests from different sects stood around, leading the believers to recite prayers for the dead, and the desolate sounds dissipated with the wind. The same situation also happened in the city. In order to prevent the disease from arising from spreading, the bodies of the dead were transported to several designated places, burned to ashes, rolling smoke rose, and the inside and outside of the city was quiet.

Such a situation fell into Chen Xuan's eyes, making his heart very heavy.

"My people of Daxia do not expand their territory, but kill each other here. This is my fault."

"How can the rebels' ambitions be blamed on Your Majesty!" Zhang Yingda, deputy general of the Longya Army, said in a deep voice, "Depending on the situation, the rebels can't hold on for long." He took out a feathered edict from his arms and presented it to Chen Xuan with both hands, "This is what was shot from below today, his tone has become much softer, so don't let the heads of his subordinates." He hummed with contempt. Since he was trapped in Dayuan City, the rebels have released many falcons, and his pigeon books cannot be introduced.

Inferring the situation outside from the enemy's words. In the previous books of the rebels' persuasion of surrender, they all mentioned that they could save the lives of Chen Xuan and the royal family, but they asked him to make up their minds to kill the "villain" and "flattering ministers" around him. Zhang Yingda was among them. Although it was very disgusting, everyone knew that this was a divisive plan. Today, the documents of surrender shot by the rebels no longer mentioned the "villain" matters, and Zhang Yingda was not afraid to speculate on the other party with the greatest malicious intention.

"The situation in the south is probably tight." He said optimistically, "The general Zhang and Xu returned to the army and attacked him, and the traitor could not bear it anymore."

"Not necessarily." Chen Xuan said in his heart, but did not say it out loud, but instead smiled: "This is a two-sided corner. Whoever is weaker will lose."

He knew the situation on the Western Front that he had no choice but to say that the Western Expedition Army was not allowed to return to the army calmly. Just passing through a barren land thousands of miles along the way, the supply of the army to return to the army was a problem when the rear was tight. However, at this time, under the city wall, the rebel battalions had already had dinner and lined up again to attack the city. In recent days, the rebels' siege was far better than before. They often fought fiercely for a day, and the corpses were piled up under the city. More than ten days ago, the rebels' heavy artillery was transported to the city, and the continuous artillery attacks day and night suddenly increased the casualties in the city. Zhang Yingda also sent the Dragon-Good Cavalry to go out of the city at night to attack, but the rebels built a lot of low walls and trenches outside the city, especially the cannon base cycle, and the musket camp was protected like an iron barrel. Hundreds of cavalry in the Dragon-Good Army were killed in battle, but they still could not break through the last line of defense.

The Dragon Tooth Army suffered severe damage in this battle, which made Your Majesty extremely sad. After this battle, Chen Xuan no longer allowed Zhang Yingda to send cavalry out of the city.

"The man in Daxia failed to die on the battlefield of expanding territory, but he bleeded in the mainland without any hesitation. Second brother, this time, you are really wrong."

Looking at the black smoke rising inside and outside the city wall, Chen Xuan's eyes became colder and colder.

The undercurrents in Xia Kingdom have not been a day, and he has made some preparations, but when he was reborn, he never expected that the mastermind was a brother of flesh and blood. Since the founding of the country, due to the existence of the Guardian Mansion and various other factors, the close relatives of the Xia Kingdom's royal family were very united, and no incident of flesh and blood had ever been killed, let alone rebel and fight. Even the destruction of the emperor decades ago was dominated by the Guardian Mansion, not the emperor.

The original intention of the clan is also the main reason why Chen Xuan has no doubt about Chen Ang's commander of the Tiger Wing Army. Chen Xuan's imperial commander in person this time will even allow Chen Ang to guard the heart of the river after the army goes out, secretly reminding him to grasp the movements of the Hezhong clan. Now, the act of fighting with the Book of the Royal Family in history books has actually happened in the Chen family of the Xia Kingdom, which has always been harmonious. What Chen Xuan felt in his heart was not just heartbreaking.

Outside the city, behind the closely protected artillery tower was a camp with tight barriers. According to the regulations compiled by Zhao Xingde, this was the standard location of the battlefield command.

"Tell me immediately, I don't want you to guess, what Zhao Xingde wants to do?!"

In the central army tent, a low voice commanded, "Tell Kang Hanzhi, what I want to hear is what he did?!"

A prince with a brocade robe and gold crown with a wide forehead ranks high above. If Chen Xuan was here, he would have recognized it, which was Chen Ang, the King of Yong.

The generals of the army lined up on both sides, looking at Chen Ang with awe. If he succeeded in seizing the throne, he would no longer be the lame emperor who was constrained or even controlled by the Guardian Mansion, but a heroic lord like Qin Emperor and Han Wu. Emperor Yuande Chen Xuan was trapped in Dayuan City, and Chen Ang was only one step away from the throne. However, at this moment, Chen Ang had no smug look on his face, but was gloomy and terrifying.

On May 21, Zhao Xingde captured Tiemen Pass, and the Huwenxing camp expanded to 60,000 people. King Kang, who was staying in the river, issued a mobilization order to double the number, conscripted 120,000 troops, and gave the name to the anti-rebel army. King Kang Hanzhi, his younger brother, personally led the troops to attack Zhao Xingde, and brought enough artillery and other powerful weapons to attack the city. Chen Ang originally thought that this time he would definitely be able to defeat the Huwenxing camp, whom he bravely pieced together with thunder, and solve the worries in the river.

However, more than a month has passed, and the anti-rebel army has not yet arrived at Tiemen Pass, and Zhao Xingde did not wait honestly to be beaten. Huwenxing Camp quickly passed through the Alan Valley and dared to capture Gushang City in the north of the Alan Valley before the anti-rebel army arrived. Gushang City is the key to the northern end of the Alan Mountain Host. If Huwenxing Camp goes north, it can not only go directly to Kangguo Capital along the post road in the western part of Alan Mountain, but also change directions to attack other big cities in the river. For a time, the vibration in the river was greater than the fall of Tiemen Pass. After all, the fall of Tiemen Pass is still separated by the Alan Mountain Host and Gushang City Pass. Now Gushang City is not protected, so if the gate is opened, with the power of Huwenxing Camp to capture two cities, which city can block them in the river?

Kang Hanzhi was still on the way to the anti-rebellion army. When he heard the news of the fall of Gushang City, he immediately stopped the march.

Chen Ang did not expect that before Zhang Shanfu and Xu Wenhu's army moved, Zhao Xingde's small partial army could turn the river upside down, but the Kang Wang and his son who stayed in the river were unable to do anything to him. Dayuan could not capture him for a long time, which made Chen Ang very angry. Kang Guo not only could not even take Zhao Xingde's partial army, but was full of fear of him. Kang Hanzhi's military books were full of speculations on how Zhao Xingde would act next, and which city he might attack, without mentioning how to send troops to wipe it out. If it weren't for the overall situation in Hezhong, and the nobles of Kang Guo would help him, Chen Ang almost wanted to behead this shrunk guy immediately.

"Is there another 100,000 troops?" Seeing the back, Chen Ang's eyes suddenly glared.

"Zhao Xingde has only 60,000 troops in total, and he has 120,000 troops. He is actually accused of having few soldiers?"

Chen Ang couldn't suppress his anger and shook the military book angrily: "A general, you are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, don't you feel embarrassed?"

"His highness of the Regent," a general came out to persuade, "Kang Han is a mature and steadfast approach."

This man's name is Shi Tianbo. His words are the same as those of Middle Earth. His face is high nose and deep eyes, and his brown hair and blue eyes are born. He was the leader of the Kang country's generals who were listened to by Chen Ang. Although Shi Tianbo was not a subordinate of Kang King Kang Hengming, he belonged to the local forces in Hezhong. At this time, he stood up to defend the Kang family, which also had the intention of winning the hearts of many Kang country generals. Sure enough, after he spoke, several more Kang country generals spoke. Although they did not come up with any clever ideas, they were all about maintaining the Kang family's royal family. If Chen Ang wanted to pursue the matter, he had to be afraid of two points.

Chen Ang stared at Shi Tianbo and others, gently rubbing the calluses in his palms with his fingers, which were sharpened by holding a sword for many years.

Everyone around Chen Ang knew that this was his angry expression. The next moment, he might have to swing his sword to kill people.

However, this time, he let out a long sigh and pressed his anger.

"Okay, since everyone has explained it to Kang Hanzhi, the Lone King will give him the crime of fear of the enemy for a month," Chen Ang looked at the generals around him with chilling eyes. Shi Tianbo and others couldn't help but lower their heads. The Regent had been in charge of the Tiger Wing Army for a long time, and there were countless old troops. He was not just the forces in the river. "One month," he said coldly, "Kang Hanzhi must send troops to deal with Zhao Xingde, and must not let him gain a firm foothold in the river.

Follow him, he could not calmly collect food and fodder, and to take Zhang Shanfu and Xu Wenhu's army back east!" Chen Ang also heard a little about Zhao Xingde's deeds in the Song Dynasty's preservation of Henan and Hebei in Dunhuang. This is what Chen Ang was most worried about. There is a thousand miles of Gobi between the river and the Great Food Kingdom. If the food and supplies cannot be solved, Xu Wenhu and Zhang Shanfu's army can only sit and watch the changes in the river. If Zhao Xingde gets enough food and fodder from the river, he might be able to take back the army.

Chen Ang hummed heavily and waved his hand to signal the end of the topic.

"Today, we will continue to siege from all sides, with the south city as the main attack. Who would like to lead the troops to take the lead first?"
