Although the Shanu Kingdom had hundreds of thousands of troops following behind them, they never dared to take the initiative to attack.
Their leader Jie Yukang is still in Bai Yutian's hands, and no one dares to act rashly.
This time, the Shanu Kingdom was really in trouble. Two of the ten heroes of Shanu and the leader of the alliance were captured, and an army of more than 100,000 people was destroyed.
Coupled with the last loss, Shanu Kingdom can be said to be seriously injured.
The general who was chasing Bai Yutian wisely stopped at Xining Prefecture to get the border. He knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty would never allow the Shanu Kingdom to cross Xining Prefecture.
Looking at the retreating Zhou army, this man could only sigh secretly.
He knew that Shanu Kingdom would soon be in chaos.
The four major tribes are equally powerful, and no one is willing to obey the other. Therefore, one of the four major tribes will become the leader of the alliance every five years. This is an established fact. If anyone wants to violate it, he will be attacked by the other three major tribes.
This time Jie Yukang was captured, for other tribes, they would rejoice in his misfortune.
Bai Yutian returned to Hongcheng with his army and finally relaxed.
In this war, both sides invested a total of 500,000 troops, which was considered a world-shattering war.
However, despite its massive scale, the war ended in only half a month.
Although Dazhou had achieved victory, the losses were also considerable.
An army of 210,000 entered Xishengzhou, but now less than half of them can come back, and almost all the remaining people are buried in Xishengzhou and Ansa City.
General An Chuhe was killed in the battle, and General Zhang Ci was also seriously injured and had one arm cut off.
The Fenghuo Camp and the Musketeer Camp also suffered heavy losses, and almost all the people they brought were beaten.
In addition, the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered countless casualties.
Correspondingly, the Shanu Kingdom suffered similar casualties to Great Zhou. Moreover, their commander-in-chief and deputy commander were both captured by Great Zhou. Now with the addition of their leader, Great Zhou has even more bargaining chips.
.
Guan Zheng and Jing Ling have also gone for treatment. Their injuries are very serious. If it were not for the healing pill, they may not be able to be saved even if they come back.
Bai Yutian had Jie Yukang and others imprisoned, and then came to Zhao Zhen.
"Zhao Zhen, what else do you have to say?" Bai Yutian stared at Zhao Zhen, not angry and intimidating, which brought great pressure.
Because of Zhao Zhen, the Zhou army lost nearly 70,000 soldiers in vain. It can be said that Zhao Zhen must be blamed for his death.
Zhao Zhen lowered his head, not daring to look at Bai Yutian because of shame.
Bai Yutian was heartbroken, pointed at Zhao Zhen's head, and kept scolding...
"Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen, you are a general promoted by me. I trust you extremely. After the battle in Liangzhou, I made you a general directly. I am not kind to you."
"Furthermore, the Zhao family in Qizhou City did not do a good job in guarding Han Tie, and they shirk their responsibilities, resulting in the death of several people. I only deprived them of the power to guard Han Tie's mines, and only dealt with the main criminals."
"You can't repay your sins even if you die ten thousand times. I have 70,000 soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty, all of whom are crying for injustice..."
After Bai Yutian finished cursing, he rested for a moment and calmed down his mood, suppressing his anger a little.
However, it was impossible for him to forgive Zhao Zhen because of this, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to face those 70,000 soldiers.
"Zhao Zhen, let me ask you, do you know a girl named Pei?" Bai Yutian asked.
When they raided the Shanu Kingdom camp at night, they did not find Miss Pei reported by Long Wei, and they did not know whether she escaped early or what happened.
Hearing Miss Pei, Zhao Zhen's expression changed, and Bai Yutian saw it all.
It seems that Zhao Zhen really knows the girl named Pei.
"Your Majesty, I have always been loyal to Your Majesty. The so-called traitor is just bewitched by Miss Pei."
Hearing this, Bai Yutian was moved and signaled Zhao Zhen to continue speaking.
It turned out that when Zhao Zhen heard about Bai Yutian's treatment of the Zhao family, he was filled with grief and anger, and immediately decided to write a letter asking Your Majesty to deal with the Zhao family leniently.
However, this matter was the fault of the Zhao family, and Bai Yutian only enforced the law impartially, and did not implicate anyone at all.
Zhao Zhen had no face to ask Bai Yutian to forgive the Zhao family. In the end, Zhao Zhen gave up writing to Bai Yutian.
The Zhao family was guilty of so many crimes. After repeated investigations, many old cases were uncovered. The Zhao family suffered repeated blows and completely declined.
Some of the surviving members of the Zhao family remembered Zhao Zhen in the Zhenxi Army. Zhao Zhen was also considered one of Bai Yutian's confidants.
However, Zhao Zhen did not take any position on this matter, which made the Zhao family members furious and directly expelled Zhao Zhen from their ancestral home.
Poor Zhao Zhen, he was in a sad mood and had nowhere to relieve his sorrow. At this time, he met Miss Pei.
Miss Pei's good melodies helped Zhao Zhen relieve his sorrow. However, who could have known that this turned out to be a conspiracy.
Miss Pei actually secretly controlled Zhao Zhen with the technique of charm, turning him into Miss Pei's puppet.
Zhao Zhen did not notice his changes. Later, Miss Pei disappeared and Bai Yutian came here to study ways to deal with Shanu Kingdom.
Zhao Zhen became a traitor and leaked all the information to Miss Pei through secret techniques.
"The art of charm!" Bai Yutian narrowed his eyes. It was a method used by the Lotus Sect a hundred years ago. It was claimed to have inherited the seductive art from the four major evil arts of the previous dynasty.
It seems that this girl Pei is really a person from Tianjia or Fuzhou.
Bai Yutian was furious. He went on an expedition to Shanu Kingdom, but was actually disrupted by these two forces. Do you really think that he dare not touch them?
"Zhao Zhen!" Bai Yutian looked at Zhao Zhen, his eyes full of unbearability.
He has committed a capital crime. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the nine tribes should be punished.
But now that I know that Zhao Zhen is also being controlled, I feel a little unbearable.
Moreover, Zhao Zhenzhi generally did not use his authority to plead for mercy from the Zhao family in the previous incident.
Does such a person really deserve to be sentenced to death?
"Your Majesty, please grant me death!" Zhao Zhen said firmly.
He no longer had the faith to live, and he personally buried countless of his brothers, letting them be killed by the enemy.
Even if he lives later, he is just a zombie.
Bai Yutian was hesitant. After all, he was not a truly ruthless emperor.
"Your Majesty, please grant me death."
At this time, Zhao Zhen wanted to die.
He knew that Bai Yutian would have no way to explain to the soldiers who died in the battle unless he died.
Bai Yutian turned around, remained silent for a moment, and finally shouted sternly: "Xiao Li, listen to the order."
"I'm here."
Xiao Li also knew what was about to happen, but he had no ability to change anything.
"Zhao Zhen, the general of the Zhenxi Army, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and harmed 50,000 Zhou soldiers. He will be executed immediately. No one will be allowed to plead for mercy."
