The Yao State has strong financial resources and a rich military. The generals in the army are all dressed in red clothes and iron armor. The Zhao State is not as willing to invest heavily in armaments as the Yao State. Therefore, most of the officers and soldiers wear green and gray ge robes. The outer armor is also made of leather and rattan. For the Lord. Only the general who has performed meritorious service can be rewarded by the king with a piece of silver armor. Among them, the armor of the generals of the Bai family is the most valuable. Each piece is a polished and exquisitely bright silver armor. From a distance, it looks dazzling. .
When King Zhaomin was half asleep and half awake, he saw the bright silver armor in front of him and thought it was a dream. He turned over and smacked his lips in an attempt to go back to sleep. As a result, the brocade was lifted open. His body was shivering due to the cold wind. When he woke up, he realized where it was. What a dream. Bai Haocheng, the commander-in-chief of the three armies wearing armor and holding a sword, was standing in front of the couch.
"Bai, Bai Haocheng...why are you here?" King Zhaomin, who had been disturbed from his sweet dream, had an angry look on his face. When his eyes touched the unsheathed sword in Bai Haocheng's hand, his expression changed immediately. He was shocked. "What do you want to do? Take it. What are you going to do with the sword... Come on, come on, come on."
Bai Haocheng didn't have time to appreciate King Zhaomin's ugly appearance. He grabbed the man by his collar and pulled him out of bed. His arms shook and he threw him directly into the arms of another general: "General Tao, I'll leave the palace affairs to you. Don't let the news leak for the time being. .The army of the distant country at the front is about to approach the city. At this time, we must not let the people in the capital fall into panic."
"The last general understands." General Tao didn't have as good an attitude towards King Zhaomin as Bai Haocheng. He kicked King Zhaomin away until he rolled to the ground in embarrassment.
At this time, King Zhaomin was still a little confused. He only understood from Bai Haocheng's words that the distant army was approaching. His eyes immediately went straight. He sat on the ground blankly: "It's impossible. Emperor Yao clearly said that he would send people to Zehu to encircle and suppress it. Bai family. Why did you come to the capital..."
"Your Majesty would rather believe the enemies who are eyeing the land of our Kingdom of Zhao than the words of loyal ministers. Don't you regret it now that you have led a wolf into your house?" Bai Haocheng sneered angrily. He clutched his sword tightly and his eyes were as bright as a torch. "Because the Bai family is leading the army to defend. Yaoguo doesn't want to cause too much loss of troops. That's why it has always been at peace with Zhaoguo. Now it's good. The king takes the initiative to open the door and invite the enemy in. He also wants to destroy the last barrier of Zhaoguo. What's wrong with Emperor Yao? Maybe they didn't take advantage of the situation. The distant army was less than 200 miles away from the capital. The people in the city didn't know about it yet. When they knew that it was the king who caused this country-destroying disaster, they were afraid that the king would not be forgiven even if he died to apologize. .”
Although King Zhaomin was not a fool, he was by no means a smart man. When he was angry, he only wanted to get rid of the Bai family and regain military power. Unexpectedly, Yaoguo took advantage of the loophole. Now it was too late to regret it. Except He looked dazed and muttered to himself, but it was useless. Bai Haocheng raised his chin. General Tao roughly dragged King Zhaomin away. Only Bai Haocheng and a group of frightened maids and eunuchs were left in the magnificent palace.
"Those who still have people at home, and those who want to be reunited with their families, please leave. Now Zhaoguo is in danger. I don't ask you to go into battle to kill the enemy. I just ask you. Please don't reveal any information before the battle. If the people panic and rush out of the city. Just You will be massacred by the enemy." Bai Haocheng's tone returned to calmness, even some tenderness. He raised his hand and dropped a bag of broken silver on the ground. "You share the money. It's not much. When the war breaks out, it will be enough to flee to other countries to make a living. "
All the maids and eunuchs looked at me and I looked at you. It took a long time before anyone dared to slowly step forward to pick up the money bag. After a brief separation, a group of people moved out of the palace in confusion with pale faces and lowered heads.
"General Bai..." When they were about to leave, a young eunuch suddenly turned around and knelt down. Three bangs, bangs, bangs, "General Bai. I, I want to stay. I want to protect my family and country with General Bai." .Be a man who stands upright and upright."
"Do you have any relatives at home?"
The little eunuch shook his head.
"Then stay. If you are willing." Bai Haocheng smiled and threw the long sword in his hand into the little eunuch's arms. "You look down on me. I am not trying to protect Zhaoguo. This time, I am just trying to protect the person I like. "
In June of that year, when the land of Zhongzhou was most turbulent, the prince general of the Yao Kingdom led his troops to attack the Zhao Kingdom and marched straight into it. Soon they arrived at the capital city of Liangshi and the troops came to the city. However, the old city that had walked through the wind and rain for hundreds of years did not fall immediately. When the Yao army When we arrived, there was already a big flag with the word "loyalty" flying over the city wall. It was a symbol that the whole Zhongzhou would fall for. It was the most admirable existence in this land.
God of War, God of War, whatever you call him. It is always a legend that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The Bai family.
"Baihaocheng only led troops into the city yesterday. If we send troops in time, we won't let them get the upper hand..." Looking at the majestic Zhongzi Banner in the distance, the young deputy general of the Yao Army showed a look of despair and complaint. Standing next to him was General Yi. Chen Jing didn't say a word. She turned around and walked into the general's tent.
Life and death on the battlefield, victory or defeat in war, one day is enough to change the situation. And this day was deliberately delayed by him.
Bai Haocheng is a military wizard who is even better than his father Bai Jingfu. How to arrange troops, how to seize the opportunity, how to obtain the greatest victory with minimal losses. All the elements for winning in wars seem to be innate abilities. For Bai Haocheng, they come at their fingertips. Just as simple. It was precisely because he believed in Bai Haocheng's unparalleled military talent that Yi Chenjing set aside a day for him. The purpose was to allow the Zhao army led by Bai Haocheng to occupy the capital city of Liang Shi first, and stand condescendingly, relying on the moat to guard the city gate.
Liang Shi can't be captured. Who can hurt Bai Qige in the city?
There are many lakes and swamps in Zhao State. The humidity is very high, which makes the tent feel cold and chilly. Yi Chenjing sat in front of the case, slightly lost in thought. Then he pushed away the attack and defense map on the case and knocked on the table: "Where's the wine?"
"General, is it okay to drink during battle..." The deputy general looked embarrassed. He lowered his head and secretly glanced at the gloomy-looking Yi Chenjing. Although Yi Chenjing was the prince, he was extremely obedient when leading troops in battle and did not drink or indulge in women. He is angry. He is famous for being serious and rigid. The lieutenant really can't understand how he became like this... He can't live without alcohol for a day. He can drink whenever he wants regardless of time and occasion. When he is drunk, he will fall asleep in the tent. Completely He looks like an alcoholic.
For the sake of a woman with an ugly face and a crime of collaborating with the enemy. The young deputy general couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to ask. He knew that Emperor Yao's order to kill the Bai family was related to Bai Qige's surrender to the enemy and treason and his escape from the prison. But he couldn't I believe that a prince like Yi Chenjing, who has everything in his power, would be so devastated by Bai Qige.
"Cut the nonsense. Go get the wine."
The lieutenant general was scolded coldly by Yi Chenjing. In desperation, he had to fetch wine and put it on the table. He watched Yi Chenjing drink cup after cup. Then he lay back on the soft mat, covered his eyes with his arms and fell asleep.
How could the young and passionate lieutenant know how wonderful it is to be drunk?
When you are drunk, you can forget your troubles. When you are drunk, you can see her in your dreams. Listen to her words. See her smile. See her by your side instead of far away. When you are drunk, you don’t have to be alone in the dark night. I woke up with a start. I touched the cold quilt beside me. My heart felt like a knife.
Longing that corrodes the bones. Deadly poison.
When the Yao army came to the city, Bai Qige was in the palace, which was only a dozen miles away. As she guessed, Bai Haocheng took action immediately after learning that the Yao army had sent troops. Four thousand soldiers had been arranged in advance to surround the palace overnight and put King Zhaomin under house arrest. The rest of the soldiers were deployed around the capital city. The entire capital city became a dense fortress. Among them, the one who was heavily protected was Bai Qige, the third daughter of the Bai family who was accused of surrendering to the enemy.
"The second young master has already explained it to the people. Everyone knows the achievements that the young lady has made in Yao Country. So no one believes that the young lady will defect to the enemy and treason. In fact, everyone has been holding back a fire in their hearts. They feel that the king is obeying the advice of the Yao Country. It is the behavior of a slave. It has lost the dignity of the Zhao Kingdom. It would be great if we can defeat the Yaojun this time. Our Zhao Kingdom can get rid of its status as a vassal state and be as free as before. There will no longer be a foolish king like King Min."
Yu Che, who accompanied Bai Qige, had great hopes for this battle. His words were full of beautiful longings. Bai Qige listened to her quietly, the expression on his face becoming more and more calm.
No matter who wins or loses, she will lose something. Some people who value her life. This is not comparable to the freedom of Zhao State or the great achievements of Yao State to unify the world.. What does the world mean to her? The merits last forever. Her reputation and the miraculousness that will be passed down from generation to generation. Nothing can compare to her relatives and loved ones. It cannot compare to the people she is willing to die for in this life. Only when they are alive does she have the meaning to live.
But how can there be so much satisfaction in this world?
"General Bai. The enemy general has a letter to hand over."
Taking the letter sent by the messenger, Bai Haocheng glanced at Bai Qige's calm face with a faint gaze. He tore the letter into pieces without looking at it: "Reply to the letter. Unless Emperor Yao agrees to treat Zhao State as an equal neighbor and will no longer pursue Qi's case. Ge was falsely accused. Otherwise, our soldiers will defend to the end."
"Second brother, have you asked dad for his opinion? Liang Shi has been heavily surrounded by the distant army. Even if we don't take the initiative to attack, we will be deprived of water and food in a few months and will be defeated without a fight. By then, who will be responsible for the life and death of the 100,000 people in the city? .If a war begins, the second brother is almost certain to win with a small number. Although Chen Jing is not as intelligent as the second brother, he is also proficient in the use of troops. If we hold on, we will only die."
It's not that Bai Haocheng didn't think about Bai Qige's words. To be sure, he himself knew that the hope of winning was very slim. Despite this, Bai Haocheng still acted as if he hadn't heard and refused to reply. He directly asked someone to send Bai Qige back to his temporary room.
Mutiny to seize power. This is crazy enough. Do you want to be crazier? There is something Bai Haocheng has never said to Bai Qige. He is afraid that if he says it, he will never be able to go back to the past. Even the ordinary relationship now can't Continue to maintain... If Yi Chenjing really orders an attack, then he will do whatever it takes to kill the man who took away Bai Qige's body and mind but abandoned her for the sake of the country. Then take her away. Even if she is in the end of the world. She doesn't have the slightest bit of love for him. He will still stay with her silently until she can smile again like she did when she was a child. She puts her little hand in his hand and says that the person she likes the most is her second brother.
For that sentence, Ningjiao changed the color of heaven and earth. Mountains and rivers were stained with blood. He carried the world on his back.
