"General Bai is dedicated to serving the country.
Killing the princess will only destroy the alliance between Goryeo and Daqin.
The one who really benefits is Donghu.
General Bai will never do such a thing that is sorry to the people of Qin."
What I said is true.
He was impassioned and at the same time tactfully flattered Baidial.
Bai Dio smiled calmly and said: "Thank you King Ping for trusting Bai.
Now that I have been cleared of suspicion, who will do this?
According to King Ping's inference, this person must hope to use this to destroy the relationship between Goryeo and Daqin, thus If Da Qin loses a strong supporter, he might be Dong Hu’s traitor.”
I nodded in deep agreement.
Bai Dio stood up: "The reason why Great Qin fell to where it is today is not because of external aggression, but entirely due to internal troubles."
My heart was shaken, Bai Dio obviously saw the essence of the problem.
Bai Dio looked at me meaningfully and said: "Bai still doesn't understand why you didn't leave Qin as soon as possible and were willing to get involved in this whirlpool."
"For Yinkong, there is no difference between Qin and Dakang."
Bai Dio nodded, sighed and said: "Easiness is sometimes more terrifying than war.
I have just understood this truth."
Bai Dial's words always echo in my mind.
I have reason to believe that he has seen something from the series of events.
An extremely ominous feeling enveloped my heart.
Jinghou, Yan Xingqi, Shen Chi, and even Yan Yuanzong, each of them was different from my previous understanding.
This war is not terrible, but the truly terrible one.
It's the conspiracy hidden behind the war.
I can't decide where I should stand.
Empress Jing obviously wanted to use this war to weaken Bai Dio's power, while Yan Xingqi used the struggle between Empress Jing and Bai Dio to seek his own development and interests.
If everything goes as Bai Dio analyzed, Yan Xingqi It is possible that Qi Ji had a tacit understanding with Dong Hu, and destroying the alliance between Goryeo and Da Qin was only the first step in implementing his plan.
No matter what Yan Xingqi's most important purpose is, he and Jinghou are still on the same side when it comes to dealing with Bai Dio.
It was precisely by taking advantage of Jinghou's eagerness to deal with Bai Dio that he was able to seize the opportunity for development.
Although I destroyed his plot to kill Yan Lin in the middle, I still created the illusion of Yan Lin's death in the end.
Destroying the marriage between Goryeo and Qin, from this point of view, I undoubtedly became an accomplice of Yan Xingqi's plan, and inadvertently pushed my own destiny into a dilemma.
Under the current situation, Bai Dio will not let Yan Yuanzong leave easily, and I will not help but accompany Yan Yuanzong to stay on the front line.
If Donghu breaks through the Qin army's defense line, both Yan Yuanzong and I will be in danger.
Yan Yuanzong is undoubtedly more terrifying than Jing Hou.
What Jing Hou wants to take away is just Bai Dio's life, while Yan Yuan Zong besides Bai Dio also wants the world of Qin.
Jiao Zhenqi quietly came to my tent.
He placed the tray in his hand on the low table.
The alluring aroma spread in the air.
I looked at the tray.
There was a roasted goose in it. , I smiled and said, "You'll bake it and eat it after all."
Jiao Zhenqi picked up the wine flask and filled the wine glass.
I came to the short table and sat down: "Why do you suddenly think of drinking with me so late?"
Jiao Zhenqi smiled and said, "I saw that the young master has become depressed since he saw the white dial, so I came to drink with you to relieve his sorrow."
I picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
A warm current quickly flowed into my chest and abdomen, and I let out a hearty sigh.
Jiao Zhenqi broke off a goose leg and handed it to me.
I took a bite and said while chewing: "I couldn't eat enough at the dinner today.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I have been hungry for a long time."
"Why did Bai Dio find the young master?
Isn't he trying to embarrass you again?"
I sighed and had a drink with Jiao Zhenqi: "Bai Dio just asked about the gangsters we met on the way.
He is also very concerned about the mastermind behind the scenes."
Jiao Zhenqi said: "There is no doubt that the person behind the scenes is Yan Xingqi.
Why don't you tell him?"
"He should be able to think of it.
However, the Donghu army is about to approach the border, and Bai Dio should not have the energy to deal with Yan Xingqi."
Jiao Zhenqi said: "Young master is worried about this matter because after Yan Yuanzong's military parade tomorrow, we will leave the front line and return to the Qin capital as soon as possible.
We should not be affected by the war."
I asked back: "Do you think Baidial will let us leave smoothly?"
Jiao Zhenqi remained silent.
I whispered: "Whether I like it or not, the fate of Yan Yuanzong and I this time is bound to be linked to Bai Dio.
If Bai Dio is defeated, I'm afraid our end will be just as tragic."
Jiao Zhenqi couldn't help but said: "I still can't figure it out.
Yan Yuanzong is the biological son of Empress Jing, how can she bear to put him in danger?"
"Yan Yuanzong is just a bait.
Without him, how could Bai Dio be willing to fight the enemy on the front line?"
"Isn't Empress Jing afraid that Bai Dio will use Yan Yuanzong as a hostage to blackmail her?"
I frowned.
I couldn’t understand what Jiao Zhenqi said.
With Empress Jing’s love for Yan Yuanzong, there was no reason for him to bet on Yan Yuanzong’s life.
Could it be that for her, political power More important than the life of her own son, this is definitely not the Empress Jing that I know.
Besides, if something happens to Yan Yuanzong, Empress Jing will also Having lost the excuse to control the Qin regime, the ministers would not allow a woman to dominate the court.
She would not have failed to consider this.
What is the problem?
The initiator of this plan is Shen Chi.
Is there any relationship between him and Yan Yuanzong?
I tacitly understood whether his help to Queen Jing had any other purpose, and I fell into deep confusion.
Jiao Zhenqi said: "It seems that we can only return to the Qin capital as soon as possible if we hope for a complete victory of Baidial."
The next morning, I was awakened by the loud sound of the horn.
The temperature inside the tent was very low.
It turned out that the brazier in the room had been extinguished at some point.
Remembering that I would accompany Yan Yuanzong to patrol the army today, I hurriedly got dressed, washed up hastily, and walked out of the camp.
The heavy snow still hasn't stopped, and the mountains and fields are covered with snow.
The air is extremely cold, white mist is sprayed from the mouth and nose when breathing, the wind is extremely strong, and every step is very difficult.
Jiao Zhenqi came to me and said loudly: "Good morning, Master!"
I chuckled and said, "The brazier is out, and the tent is as cold as an ice cellar.
I'm afraid I'll freeze to death if I continue to sleep."
This is Li Wei walking towards us with two soldiers.
The three of them are all covered with a thick layer of snow.
From a distance, they look like three snowmen.
Li Wei said loudly: "His Majesty King Ping and General Bai have already gone to the ranch, and they specially asked the humble officials to pick you up."
Yan Yuanzong actually got up earlier than me, which was beyond my expectation.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Jiao Zhenqi and I followed Li Wei and walked to the school ground.
The snow was so thick that when I stepped on it, it didn’t reach the bend of my knees.
Every step I took was extremely laborious, and the snowflakes flew towards my face with the wind, making me almost unable to open my eyes.
It is difficult to imagine how soldiers would practice in such harsh weather conditions.
After walking more than 500 steps eastward, we finally arrived at the training ground.
This was a vast wasteland.
The snow on it had been cleared in advance.
Twenty thousand elite soldiers stood neatly under the general stage.
I followed Li Wei to the general ordering platform.
Yan Yuanzong, wearing a fur cloak and carrying a hand stove, was shivering in his seat.
Bai Dio was dressed in bronze armor, sitting majestically next to Yan Yuanzong, gently stroking the tiger talisman in front of him with his right hand, but he looked sideways at the power of the world.
I sat down next to Yan Yuanzong.
Yan Yuanzong showed me a rather helpless smile, but did not speak.
This was probably because he felt depressed by the solemn environment around him.
Baidial said to Li Wei: "Have the supervisors not arrived yet?"
The supervisor he mentioned was Fang Wenshan, the imperial censor of the Qin Dynasty.
This person has always been favored by Empress Jing and is also one of the staunch supporters of Yan Yuanzong's accession to the throne.
Li Wei said respectfully: "I have sent someone to invite Mr.
Fang.
He should be here soon."
Bai Dio nodded, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and his deep eyes became extremely cold.
After a long time, I saw Fang Wenshan's fat body moving in from the camp gate, with two of his men following behind him.
As he walked, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Fang got up late."
When he met Bai Dial's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then walked onto the stage with a smile.
Bai Dio said coldly: "Master Fang is half an hour late."
Fang Wenshan smiled and said: "Fang drank a few too many drinks last night, and it's freezing today, so..."
Bai Dial slammed the table heavily and roared: "Master Fang, do you think this military discipline is child's play?"
Yan Yuanzong couldn't help but trembled, and Fang Wenshan laughed dryly and said: "Fang knew he was wrong, and he will not do it next time.
He will not do it next time."
Bai Dio's cold eyes were still staring at him.
Fang Wenshan actually had cold sweat on his forehead under his gaze, and he looked at Yan Yuanzong as if asking for help.
Yan Yuanzong coughed and said: "General Bai, I think Mr.
Fang is unintentional.
It's better to let this matter go."
Bai Dio sneered and said: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong.
The marching discipline of the three armies is the first.
If everyone violates military discipline at will, how can Bai command the three armies and repel Donghu Fang?
As a supervisor, he actually takes the lead in violating military discipline."
In terms of military discipline, Bai’s lack of punishment is not enough to convince the public.”
He turned to Li Wei and said: "How should this matter be handled according to military discipline?"
Li Wei said loudly: "Behead" Fang Wenshan turned pale with fright and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty" Yan Yuanzong frowned slightly.
He also saw that Bai Diotou was clearly making a fuss out of a molehill and deliberately gave him a blow: "General Bai is the supervisor appointed by the Queen Mother.
Please forgive him once for my sake."
Bai Dio smiled calmly and said: "Since your Majesty has spoken, how dare I disobey you."
He stared at Fang Wenshan and said: "But if I let you go like this, the soldiers will definitely not be convinced."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He pulled out a command arrow and said: "General I beheaded two of Master Fang's followers."
The two servants were innocently involved in this disaster, and they immediately burst into tears and howled loudly.
Bai Dio took out another command arrow and said: "Master Fang can be exempted from death penalty, but living crime is difficult to forgive.
I will punish you with twenty army sticks to serve as a warning to others."
Immediately, two soldiers dragged Fang Wenshan down.
Yan Yuanzong's expression was extremely ugly.
Bai Dio's move was clearly done to show him.
Bai Dio showed his majesty in front of the generals.
His emperor's face was simply...
Nothing left.
After Fang Wenshan was punished, he was brought back by the soldiers.
When had he ever experienced such humiliation?
His face became distorted due to pain.
Bai Dio made a concerned face and whispered: "Master Fang, Bai has to do this in front of all the soldiers, please forgive me."
Fang Wenshan's mouth twitched in pain, and he forced himself to smile: "I know."
I secretly laughed in my heart, this Bai Dial is indeed insidious, and making such a confession after beating someone else will only make Fang Wenshan hate him even more.
But with his current status, it is obvious that he will not take Fang Wenshan seriously.
Bai Dio looked around at the generals and said loudly: "The Hu people are powerful and have successively occupied our four border fortresses of Jincheng, Anyang, Tunliu and Taoyi.
Now they have assembled an army of 300,000 in an attempt to capture Beichuan, Beichuan, Manzhou and Yan The states are at odds with each other.
If Beichuan City is defeated, the entire defense line of Da Qin will be interrupted, and Manzhou and Yanzhou will be in danger."
The generals looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Baidial turned to Yan Yuanzong and said: "Your Majesty, do you have any suggestions?"
Yan Yuanzong didn't expect that Bai Di would actually ask about his head, so he was speechless and said: "What?"
Bai Dio smiled and repeated: "I would like to ask your Majesty what you think of the current war situation."
Yan Yuanzong was sweating on his forehead.
He had no idea about the situation of the war.
He came to Northern Xinjiang just to boost his morale.
The war had nothing to do with him.
He said casually: "Since the barbarians are here, we will defeat them and drive them all back to the north."
Many of the generals were already smiling, as if Yan Yuanzong's words had not been spoken.
Bai Dio nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right.
Since the barbarians are attacking us, we must make them suffer and defeat them completely."
He turned his eyes to the generals again and said loudly: "Beichuan must not give up.
Our reinforcements must arrive there before Donghu's army attacks Beichuan."
A voice in the crowd said: "General Bai's Man City is nearly a hundred miles away from Beichuan.
It is now freezing cold, making the march extremely difficult.
The Hu people may have just spread the news, and may not have attacked the city in such bad weather.
"The speaker was Liu Qifeng, the commander of the Iron Spear Battalion.
Bai Dio said: "According to reports from the front, the Donghu army has begun to march from Taoyi and Tunliu to Beichuan.
According to the normal speed, they will definitely reach Beichuan within three days.
The war is inevitable."
Zhuo Chengjian, the commander of the Iron Knife Battalion, said loudly: "The danger in Beichuan is imminent, and the general is willing to go to Beichuan for rescue."
Bai Dio nodded and said: "Donghu united 300,000 people to attack Beichuan with all their strength this time.
It is obvious that they are determined to win Beichuan.
Our army must reach Beichuan first to wait for work.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
We will start a full-scale war with Donghu's army there."
Everyone was stunned and looked at the white dial.
Looking forward to his next post.
Bai Dio said: "There are 50,000 soldiers guarding the city in Beichuan.
I intend to send 300,000 troops to participate in this battle against Donghu.
Defeat the invasion of Donghu's army in one fell swoop and relieve the difficulties in northern Xinjiang."
He turned to Yan Yuanzong and said: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Yan Yuanzong nodded repeatedly and said: "What General Bai said is absolutely true."
There was a disdainful smile on Bai Dio's lips: "With His Majesty accompanying the army on the expedition this time, the morale will definitely be high, and the defeat of Donghu is a foregone conclusion."
Yan Yuanzong said in a trembling voice: "I want to go too."
Bai Dio nodded and said: "Your Majesty came to Northern Xinjiang just to lead a personal expedition.
Naturally, your participation in such a war is indispensable."
I have been observing the changes in Yan Yuanzong, and I always feel that he is very different from before.
Although Yan Yuanzong is not interested in politics, his character is not so cowardly.
What exactly made him change so drastically that he was almost completely different from before.
Bai Dio said: "After reorganizing the three armies, we will send out troops immediately."
Returning to the camp, Jiao Zhenqi sighed and said: "The Baidial has sent most of its troops to Beichuan.
What if Donghu turns around and attacks Manzhou on the way?"
"Bai Dio should have considered this issue.
Besides, the 100,000 troops left here should be enough to deal with Donghu's sneak attack."
Jiao Zhenqi nodded and said to me: "Young master is always distracted today.
What are you thinking about?"
"Do you think Yan Yuanzong's behavior is too weird?"
Jiao Zhenqi thought for a while and said, "I don't think there is anything wrong.
He has never seen such a scene in the royal family.
It is normal to show fear."
I shook my head and said, "I never believe that a person can undergo such a huge change in a short period of time."
"Young Master suspects that Yan Yuanzong is not the original one."
"I can't tell clearly, but I can't find anything wrong with Yan Yuanzong no matter his body or appearance.
Even his voice and demeanor are not abnormal at all."
Jiao Zhenqi smiled and said: "Young master, you are too worried.
How can there be such a similar person in this world?"
I sighed and said, "I hope I'm wrong."
Jiao Zhenqi said: "If it is true as the young master said, Empress Jing replaced Yan Yuanzong with a substitute, then she will no longer have any scruples about Bai Dial, and maybe she will take this opportunity to get rid of Bai Dial in one fell swoop."
My heart was shocked.
I really couldn’t rule out this possibility.
Otherwise, how could he have reacted so indifferently to Yan Lin’s death?
What’s more, Queen Jing had always acted cautiously.
She wouldn’t have thought that Bai Dio might use Yan Yuanzong to threaten her. , how could she send her own son into the tiger's mouth?
I stood up and said: "Before going to the war, I must go to see Yan Yuanzong."
When he arrived at Yan Yuanzong's camp, he had already packed up and was ready to set off at any time.
Seeing me, Yan Yuanzong came over in a panic, took my arm and said: "Yinkong, I was about to find you.
Bai Dio asked us to go out with the army.
You have to think of a way to let me escape. " I smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong.
The purpose of this expedition is to boost the morale of the army and establish the supreme power of the king.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If you leave at this time, it is tantamount to escaping from the battlefield.
What do you do in the eyes of the lieutenant generals?
You have prestige, but what will you do to gain their trust in the future?"
Yan Yuanzong sighed and said: "I just don't want to go to the battlefield.
If it doesn't work, you can think of a way to let me stay in Manzhou City.
It is better than braving the wind and snow to go to Beichuan for rescue."
I sighed: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the Ninth Princess?
If it were not for the Great Qin Dynasty, she would not have married Goryeo, let alone suffered such a disaster.
She should still be living well in the world now."
I deliberately touched his heartache, quietly Watch his reaction.
Yan Yuanzong looked gloomy: "Lin'er really has a fateful fate.
Our hospital should have opposed the mother's marrying her to Goryeo."
My heart moved.
If Yan Yuanzong had no objection to Empress Jing marrying Yan Lin to Goryeo, I would not believe it even to death.
I was almost certain that the Eighth Achievements of Yan Yuanzong was a fake, so I said insinuatingly: "I once saw a person very similar to Your Majesty in the capital of Qin."
Yan Yuanzong's expression suddenly changed, and then he smiled and said: "It would be such a coincidence."
I was about to continue talking, when suddenly I heard the trumpet blasting outside the tent, and the army began to gather.
Yan Yuanzong hurriedly walked outside the tent: "I want to see what General Bai plans."
I looked at his back and clenched my fists hard.
An inexplicable sadness filled my heart.
Queen Jing's ruthlessness is far beyond my imagination.
I have been given up by her.
The person in front of me is definitely not the real Yan Yuanzong.
And I have the same status as him in Queen Jing's heart, I'm just a bait to remove Baidial.
I walked sadly outside the tent.
The wind and snow were blowing hard, and Yan Yuanzong walked toward the guard one step at a time.
His pace seemed panicked and hurried, and he was obviously disturbed by me.
The army is about to set off, and everything is a foregone conclusion.
It would do me no good to reveal his identity even now.
Bai Dio might become angry and attack me and Yan Yuanzong at the same time.
I have undoubtedly fallen into the predicament deliberately created by Queen Jing and Shen Chi.
All my hopes can only be pinned on Bai Dio.
If he leads his army to defeat Donghu, this fake Yan Yuanzong and I can continue to pretend.
If he fails, our fate will be unimaginable.
It's snowing heavily and the sky is dark.
The 300,000 Qin army is ready.
The infantry 150,000 and the iron spear army 35,000 are at the forefront of the army.
The 30,000 iron cavalry behind them are the main force to break through the enemy's camp and fight. , 45,000 armored infantry were distributed to advance with the "charging vehicles" and cavalry, responsible for attacking the enemy's position.
Yan Yuanzong and I are at the center of the team.
The one responsible for protecting us is Bai Dio's personal guard regiment.
This elite force of 10,000 people is led by Li Wei.
Their biggest feature is that they all wear black armor.
Among them are two thousand crossbowmen, three thousand spearmen and five thousand long swordsmen, all of whom are brave knights.
In front of us is the 30,000 Divine Crossbow Battalion that Baidial is most proud of.
It is equipped with the most advanced repeating crossbows among the eight countries.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It can fire eighteen crossbow arrows in a row, which is extremely lethal.
At the rear were 20,000 heavy baggage troops and 10,000 light cavalry responsible for breaking up the rear.
Three groups of armies lined up in neat formation and braved the wind and snow to advance towards Beichuan.
Ever since I discovered Yan Yuanzong's true identity, I have been feeling extremely depressed.
Jiao Zhenqi also noticed my abnormality and whispered: "Fake" I nodded, and Jiao Zhenqi's face suddenly became serious: "What should I do?"
I whispered: "For now, we can only let him continue to pretend.
It is better for Bai Dio to focus on him than to shift it to me."
As night fell, we stopped temporarily about ten miles away from Beichuan.
Bai Dial stood on the snowy ridge in front, quietly looking at Beichuan City in the distance.
I came up behind him quietly: "Why did General Bai stop here?"
Bai Dio Lulu smiled and said: "Although Beichuan City is geographically dangerous, the city area is very small.
If all these 300,000 troops are stationed in the city, Beichuan City will probably be broken by us."
Bai Dio pointed to the place east of Beichuan City: "There is the Wolf Valley.
The terrain is dangerous.
It is the only way from Taoyi to Beichuan.
As long as heavy troops are ambushed on both sides of the valley, the Beihu army can easily be stopped.
Pass."
He pointed to both sides of Beichuan: "The real pressure of defense lies on this road.
There is no obstacle here.
The Donghu army coming from Tunliu will fight us here."
These were two horses galloping from under the snow hills, but they were the two commanders of the Pioneer Battalion.
When they came to Bai Dial, they got off their horses and said loudly: "General Bai is in trouble."
Bai Dio said displeasedly: "Why are you so alarmed?"
Zong Hao, the leader of the Pioneer Battalion, said angrily: "Zhao Qingtao, the defender of Beichuan City, refused to allow the Pioneer Battalion to enter the city."
"What?"
Bai Dio opened his eyes wide, filled with surprise.
Zong Hao said: "This bastard said that he must take into account the safety of the people in the city and not let me wait to enter the city."
Bai Dio said angrily: "This bastard is so brave that he dares to do such a treasonous thing.
Doesn't he know that the emperor is also in the army?"
Zong Hao said: "He said that he would be outside the city and that the emperor's orders would not be accepted.
Even if the emperor came to the city in person, he would say the same thing."
Bai Dio roared angrily and strode towards his mount.
When he got closer, he suddenly changed his mind.
He muttered: "Zhao Qingtao is definitely not so courageous.
There must be someone behind it."
Zong Hao said: "What should we do?
Should we retreat to Manzhou, or stay here to stop the Donghu army?"
Bai Dio said: "If we go back, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing Beichuan City to the Donghu people?"
He took two steps on the spot and ordered: "Zong Hao, lead the vanguard battalion and pay attention to the movements of the Hu troops on both sides."
Zong Hao took the order and went.
Baidial said to Li Wei again: "Give me the order to set up camp on the spot and gather all the generals here at the snow hill."
Not long after, the generals of each battalion had gathered on the snow hill.
Yan Yuanzong seemed to have noticed something unusual, and came here accompanied by the supervisor.
He panicked and said to Bai Dio: "General Bai heard that we can't enter the city."
"Your Majesty's information is quite good."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Yan Yuanzong said in a trembling voice: "In this case, why don't we return to Manzhou?
Are we going to set up camp in this ice and snow?"
Bai Dio sneered and said: "Your Majesty, please don't forget that every inch of land here belongs to you.
These 300,000 soldiers are fighting to the death to defend the world of Great Qin."
The corner of Yan Yuanzong's mouth twitched, and he said for a long time: "But it seems not a wise move to put the army in such a harsh environment for a mere Beichuan."
Baidial let out a loud laugh: "When will your Majesty understand the art of war again?"
The irony towards Yan Yuanzong was beyond words, and Yan Yuanzong closed his mouth in embarrassment, looking extremely embarrassed
