The Sixth Prince nodded in agreement and added: "You have to take good care of yourself. Mr. Xin will stay in the mansion. There are military doctors there. Besides, I won't go to the front to fight easily."

The couple had a good discussion and told each other that they were inseparable. At this time, Mrs. Zhu came to visit. Seeing her like this, she smiled at the Sixth Prince and said: "Your Highness, just go ahead with peace of mind. I have everything here. I will definitely meet you." Take good care of her."

The Sixth Prince smiled and entrusted Shen Qiujun to Mrs. Zhu. After thanking him, he went to the front yard.

Madam Zhu held Shen Qiujun's hand and comforted her: "As soon as I heard that Your Highness was going to fight together, I was thinking about you. You are still young, so you should be more careful. Your Highness has many soldiers there, so you don't have to." Too worried."

Shen Qiujun said with a smile: "With Lord Zhu here, what can I have to worry about? It's just that I wanted to follow Madam's example and go into battle to kill the enemy, but at this time I am inconvenient. I heard that Siyuan is also taking orders under the Lord's tent. , it’s inevitable to feel envious and a little discouraged.”

Mrs. Zhu sighed: "It's not so easy to be a heroine. If it's our women's turn to go into battle, the war will be extremely tragic. I would rather just sit in the house with peace of mind. This girl Siyuan also suffered from those heroes among women. Influenced by the rumors, she insists on following her. If she refuses and is afraid that she will act rashly, it is better to just leave her in front of her father and watch, and I will feel more at ease."

Shen Qiujun said hurriedly: "Miss Siyuan is a person who knows the general situation and is good at martial arts. I can't help but become a female general in the future."

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said: "What kind of general is not a general? As long as she lives a safe life, I will be satisfied."

Then the two of them brought up the matter of Shen Qiujun's pregnancy, and Mrs. Zhu mentioned some things that needed attention, and promised to help find some good and stable mothers. Shen Qiujun naturally thanked her profusely.

The battle between Qi and Chen began. After a few days, each had its own victory or defeat, but they were evenly matched. The sixth prince even took time to return to his hometown once. However, with the arrival of Dong Chen's reinforcements, Da Qi was short of time and the reinforcements Not being able to gather together for a while, it became a bit difficult.

Shen Qiujun knew that he could not help much here. Although he listened to people talking about the war situation every day, he never mentioned Yudai Mountain, so he ignored them and only focused on raising the fetus.

Half a month later, what Shen Qiujun was worried about finally happened. Daqi's soldiers and horses were retreating steadily, and now they have retreated to Yudai Mountain. They relied on this natural moat to fight against Dongchen. On the other hand, General Zhu sent people to ask for help quickly.

In order to shape the future of the war, Dongchen was also determined to win Yudai Mountain and was approaching aggressively. He was determined to win Yudai Mountain at all costs.

Zhu Zongbing was really scared at this time. He thought that the imperial court had completely subdued several forces around Dongchen. If the two countries started a war, they would also help delay Dongchen. Now he saw that King Chen had almost concentrated all his troops here. , but his reinforcements were blocked from arriving in time due to various reasons. Only then did he realize that what King Chen had done was far more profound than he thought.

It seems that the declaration of war on the account of the Sixth Prince is not just a temporary move to avenge Chen Anzheng. It must have been planned long ago. The reason why General Zheng was unable to arrive on time is probably also the handiwork of King Chen.

General Zhu has received an express report from the court. General Zheng should have brought his people here long ago, but he didn't expect that the war that had just ended would have happened again, so he had to postpone his trip temporarily, fearing that it would take another two or three months to come here. .

Now it seems that all this was planned by King Chen in advance, so he worked up all his energy to capture Yudai Mountain first. As long as he captured Yudai Mountain, whether it was a battle or a peace, Dong Chen would be in an advantageous position.

Zhu Zongbing has been here for many years and knows that as long as Yudai Mountain is lost, his death will not be enough to atone for his sins. Because in this way, Dongchen has removed the barrier in front of Daqi, and it will become extremely easy to invade Daqi.

Even if General Zheng arrives, even if he can save his life, the price will be extremely high.

General Zhu saw the growing disparity in strength between the two sides and knew that he could no longer think of a good strategy. Even if he could barely hold on to Yudai Mountain for the time being, his casualties would be huge. When Dongchen attacked Yudai Mountain a few more times, sooner or later, Yudai Mountain would be destroyed.

It will still fall into Dong Chen's hands.

General Zhu's position as military advisor was also on his mind day and night. He couldn't help but secretly complain that the Sixth Prince was impulsive. The commander-in-chief had not yet arrived. As a pioneer officer escorting grain and fodder, he tried to stir up trouble in advance, but Dong Chen took advantage of it and declared war in advance.

Putting Daqi in a passive position of being beaten.

At this time, a counselor gave advice: "The soldiers will block it, but the water will flood the soil. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief asked people to build a dam on the Yudai River in advance. Now that the water is just right, why not use the method of flooding? As long as it can be resisted for a month or two, we can save our lives."

Yudai Mountain, now that General Zheng is here, everything has nothing to do with you."

When General Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up and he secretly blamed himself. The people below had come to report that the dam had been repaired a few days ago. Why didn't he think of it?

General Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, squinted his eyes and went through the plan in his mind, and couldn't help but secretly lamented: "Although this is the best method, there are huge flaws in it. If it is really implemented,

Although I have saved Yudai Mountain, I am embarrassed to face my fellow villagers here, and I cannot explain to the Emperor."

Others said: "Although your Excellency is at the head of all the generals, the Sixth Prince is above you. Any merits in the future will naturally belong to the Sixth Prince. If there are any faults, it will be his responsibility."

Zhu Zongbing still couldn't let go and said: "So what if he bears the blame? Thousands of people here are suffering. How can we afford them?"

The military advisor advised: "This is really a last resort. If King Chen takes over Yudai Mountain and loses the city, even if you die to atone for your sins, it will not change the fate of the people in the east being tortured by King Chen. Here comes the sixth prince.

, it’s just for his own little profit, how can he be compared with the people of Daqi? As a prince, even if he takes some responsibility, he will not lose his life. At most, he will lose his Sacred Heart, but you can keep it.

My life will continue to fight for Da Qi. Besides, the things you are worried about may not actually come true."

General Zhu was still hesitating, and everyone said: "Now the situation is imminent. We can no longer hesitate. Please make up your mind early. You don't need to worry about this matter. We will let the Sixth Prince take the initiative to issue the order."

The Sixth Prince has long known the importance of Yudai Mountain. Now seeing that Da Qi cannot support it, he can't help but feel anxious. Of course, what he is even more worried about is that once Yudai Mountain is not protected, Da Qi's territory will be as flat as a flat river.

Da Qi's military strength is already inferior to that of Dong Chen. King Chen and his son will surely capture him before reinforcements arrive.

What happened back then flashed before his eyes. He would rather die than allow himself to become a prisoner of Prince Chen and his son again. Moreover, he had Shen Qiujun by his side. He had vowed to make her happy for a lifetime, but he hadn't let her live.

After a good life, let her accompany him to be ridiculed and humiliated before losing his life?

He would never allow that to happen. No matter what price he had to pay, he would never let his wife fall into that situation.

At this juncture, the Sixth Prince heard a hint of Shui Yandong Chen. Later, during a meeting among the generals, someone finally formally proposed this suggestion.

Naturally, some people immediately jumped out to oppose it and discussed the shortcomings of this method.

The Sixth Prince observed calmly, his initial joy gradually faded away, and a cold feeling filled his heart: It turned out that he was performing a show in front of him, treating himself like a fool.

The Sixth Prince then said to Mr. Zhu: "I am new here, and I don't understand some things. I wonder what you think of it? I respect you here, so please give me your order. We will naturally obey your orders."

Zhu Zongbing smiled bitterly and said: "Ordering to flood Dongchen can certainly defeat King Chen, but the people of Daqi may not be immune to the disaster. How can I be worthy of the emperor and the people? But if I don't act like that, reinforcements will be delayed.

No, King Chen's offensive is too fierce. Even if we all defend here, we may not be able to last for five days. After five days, reinforcements will not arrive, and we will all die in the battle. The people behind us will be like lambs, waiting for

King Chen has slaughtered him. The lower official is really undecided."

Zhu Siyuan saw that all the soldiers were afraid of tigers in front and wolves in the back, and he couldn't help but shouted: "Since you have come to serve as soldiers to protect your family and the country, you should be prepared to die on the battlefield. Even if you die in battle today, you will be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth.

Be worthy of the emperor and the people. If you are afraid of death and ignore the safety of the people, you must know that water and fire are ruthless. Once the people of Daqi are flooded, they will not die under the sword of King Chen, but will die in our floods. Under the nine springs, we

How can you say that you are a soldier of Daqi? Then there will be other soldiers of Daqi who will come to regain the lost territory, avenge us, and save the people of Daqi on our behalf."

When Zhu Siyuan was staying under her father's tent that day, she promised her father to listen more, read more and speak less, so many people didn't care. But now her words made everyone silent.

In fact, they have been fighting for many years and have seen a lot of life and death, so they are not afraid of death. However, after experiencing too many things, their hearts are no longer simple, and they know how to weigh the pros and cons.

They don't need to resort to flooding. If everyone dies here, Dongchen will be in an uninhabited country if he captures Yudai Mountain. It will be difficult for Daqi to regain it.

On the contrary, if the water floods, even if part of the people of Daqi are flooded, the losses of Dongchen will be greater. It will be much easier for Daqi to deal with King Chen who suffered such heavy losses, and because they have preserved the truth, even if General Zheng cannot do so

However, with the current manpower and the reinforcements from all walks of life, Dongchen can not dare to take a step into Daqi.

Of course, before that, General Zhu could not be held responsible for flooding, because he still had to command the battle, and the best scapegoat here was the Sixth Prince.

Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince was not fooled. Zhu Siyuan said those words again, and they felt heroic in their hearts. It is a happy thing for a man to die on the battlefield. Why should he look forward and backward, and ultimately feel ashamed of the fathers and fellow countrymen behind him. (To be continued.
