Chapter 1272 Testing Yamal's death in battle made Siglan heartbroken.
It can be said that the person he trusted most at the moment was Yamal.
Yamal's death undoubtedly cut off his right and left arms, leaving him completely alone.
But the leaders of the various resistance armies were not surprised by this.
They even expected Yamal's fate.
Yamal swore allegiance to Sigram and often accused Shangguan Xiu of his faults in front of Sigram, saying that Feng people were not trustworthy.
It's surprising that Shangguanxiu, who looks kind on the outside but is cruel secretly, can tolerate him.
It is not certain whether the spirit gun shooter who killed Yamal was from Ningnan.
It was most likely Feng Ren himself.
No one wanted to die in an unknown manner like Yamal.
After this incident, the leaders of the resistance armies were more awe and fearful of Shangguan Xiu.
Although the Haji battle lasted more than ten days, the real large-scale battle lasted only two days and one night.
On the afternoon of the second day of the general attack, the main force of the Ningnan Army in the city had been basically annihilated by the Feng Army.
The chief general of the Ningnan Army, Serbei, who was guarding Haji, led some of his followers to break through the siege and escape from the east city.
The Feng army only made a symbolic pursuit, then stopped and retreated to Haji City.
The recovery of Haji City was another turning point in the Duki War.
The new king Siglan Azabao has entered the capital, which can basically declare that Duki has officially returned to the country.
The Ningnan Army still fighting in Duki has completely lost its legal orthodoxy, and those who are still loyal to the The Duji rebels from Ningnan are equivalent to traitors to the country.
No one wants to betray their country, be called a traitor, and have themselves and their entire family stabbed in the back.
The officers and soldiers of Du Jiyi Army who were loyal to Ningnan originally joined the Ningnan Army because Du Ji had already perished.
The people of Ningnan were Du Ji's court, and they could only follow the people of Ningnan to fight.
But now it's different.
Du Ji has a new king, the capital has been recovered, and Du Ji has fully restored his country.
How can Du Ji's rebel army still be willing to stay in the Ningnan Army and help the Ningnan Army fight against their own country?
Since Haji was liberated, the Duji rebels in the Ningnan Army set off a wave of defections.
At first, there were only a small number of defections of soldiers, but it didn't take long for the defections to become larger and larger. , defection of legionnaires.
This will undoubtedly make things worse for the Ningnan Army, which is already in a precarious situation.
Haji.
Currently, the Feng army is stationed in Haji for rest and recuperation, and the Duki people are also actively reorganizing their royal court in Haji.
Now, there are two people with the most military power on Duji's side, one is Mensha Keika and the other is Li Ling.
The Ika family was originally a prominent family of Duki, and the resistance army headed by Menshak was also the strongest and most numerous of the resistance armies.
When Menshak led his army to Queen Hajiqin, he immediately defected to Shangguanxiu's side.
Because of this, Menshak's troops, with the help of Shangguanxiu, annexed several rebel armies, and their strength ranged from tens of thousands to The number of children increased to more than 100,000.
As for Li Ling, he is not a Duki, but the deputy commander of the Third Army.
He is in charge of the Duki Rebel Army.
Part of the Du Ji Rebels under Li Ling were originally on the side of the Feng Army and fought against the Ningnan people, and some were Du Ji Rebels who had switched sides from the Ningnan Army.
The total strength was quite large.
There are also hundreds of thousands of people.
It can be said that Shangguan Xiu's two biggest minions in Duji's court were Menshak and Li Ling.
Now more than twenty rebel forces have gathered in Haji City, and they have not yet been integrated.
They are like a piece of scattered sand.
The Duji Royal Court urgently needs to select a first commander to take charge of all the military power of the Royal Court.
As for who should serve as the first commander, there was a dispute within the royal court, and the ministers had different opinions.
Some people recommend Li Ling.
Although he is a Feng man, these are extraordinary times.

Having a Feng man serve as the first commander of the country will not only improve the relationship between the royal court and the Feng State, but also gain Feng State’s support in armaments. support given.
Some people recommended Menschak, and others recommended themselves.
On this day, in the Haji Palace, all the ministers gathered together again and began to argue about the selection of the first commander.
Siglan, who was sitting on the king's chair, looked around and saw no sign of Shangguan Xiu.
He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Isn't His Highness the Duke here?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has not arrived yet."
"Oh."
Siglan responded, and at the same time, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Shangguan Xiu's absence made him feel much more relaxed.
Maybe he was really scared by Shangguan Xiu last time.
His fear of Shangguan Xiu was imprinted in his heart and engraved in his bones.
"I wonder if you have any recommendations for the candidate for the first commander?"
Without Shangguan Xiu present, Siglan felt much more confident, and he finally had the courage to discuss the matter with the ministers in the court.
Shangguanxiu is indeed not in the palace now, but it is not far from the palace.
He, Menshak and Li Ling rode horses and rode side by side, accompanied by a large number of guards on their left, right and behind.
The group of people walked towards the palace, talking to each other.
Menshak said: "Your Highness, today's discussion in the palace is probably inseparable from the matter of the first commander."
Shangguanxiu nodded and asked, "How does Master Yika view this matter?"
Menshak looked at Li Ling on the other side of Shangguan Xiu and said with a smile: "I think it is most appropriate for General Li to serve as the first commander."
Li Ling not only understood Besa, but was also very proficient, otherwise Shangguan Xiu and Hu Chong would not have been able to choose him as the coach of the Duji Rebel Army.
After hearing Menshak's words, he waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "I would like to thank Sir Ika for the recommendation, but I am really not qualified to serve as the first commander."
As a foreigner, if he serves as Du Kee's first commander, he will immediately become the target of public criticism.
Moreover, he has done a good job as the deputy commander of the Third Army and has a bright future.
Why would he go to Do Kee to do it?
What first commander That's not where he's pointing.
Menshak seemed to see Li Ling's concerns.
He smiled calmly and said, "General Li is worried about his origin, right?
In fact, it is very simple to solve this problem.
As long as General Li marries a woman from the Duki tribe, he will be able to marry Li Ling in the future."
Once Haji settles down, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks.”
Li Ling smiled when he heard this, smiled bitterly, shook his head and waved his hands, and said: "Master Yika, please don't be careless.
I already have a wife, and my eldest daughter is almost fourteen years old."
He is not old, only in his early thirties, in the prime of life, but he got married early, and his eldest daughter is indeed more than ten years old.
He left his family and business to settle in Duji.
He is one hundred and twenty years old.
Not willing.
Menshak was about the same age as Shangguan Xiu.
He was from a prominent family, had outstanding appearance, and was personable in every gesture.
He was a typical aristocratic son.
He glanced at Li Ling, shook his head and said, "General Li attaches too much importance to his family.
Isn't there a saying in the Feng Kingdom that a man has his ambitions in all directions?"
"A man should have his ambitions in all directions, but his roots should always be at home."
Li Ling said with a smile.
Menshak shook his head, still expressing his incomprehension.
Shangguanxiu suddenly raised his finger and pointed forward, asking, "That's the royal carriage."

Li Ling and Menshak looked forward and saw a splendid carriage parked on the roadside more than ten meters in front.
The body of the carriage was imprinted with the unique totem of the royal family.
Turning to look next to the carriage, Li Ling and Menshak frowned in unison.
It turned out that the carriage was parked in front of a brothel.
Menshak tilted his head, and immediately a follower ran forward, bowed and said, "Sir."
"Go and find out who is riding in that carriage."
"It's my lord."
Several Duji followers agreed in unison and ran forward quickly.
After a while, several followers returned, bowed to Shangguan Xiu and the others, and said, "Reporting to your lord, this is the eldest prince Anderson."
Menshak frowned even deeper when he heard this.
Haji has just been recovered, and the eldest prince, who is the first heir to the throne, went to a brothel to have fun.
Isn't this ridiculous?
It is simply a discredit to the royal family.
He looked at Shangguan Xiu and said unnaturally: "Your Highness" Shangguanxiu waved his hand to him, and then said: "Gendarme" "The end will be here."
A military police officer ran forward and stepped in to salute.
"Please come out and escort His Royal Highness back to the palace."
"It's Your Highness."
The military police officer waved back and led a large group of military police officers into the brothel.
As the gendarmerie entered, the brothel was like a pot exploding, with chickens and dogs jumping around and screaming constantly.
After about a stick of incense, two military policemen dragged the disheveled eldest prince Anderson out of the brothel.
Anderson did not give in obediently.
Although he was being held up by two burly military policemen, he kept struggling and kept his mouth busy.
He shouted repeatedly: "Bold, bold, you are so bold.
Do you know who I am?
How dare you do this?"
I'm going to use violence.
I want all of you to move your heads and tell me who ordered you.
I'm going to kill him with my own hands."
Listening to Anderson's yelling and cursing, Menshak's face turned extremely ugly.
It was extremely embarrassing to have such a great prince, and he was so embarrassed in front of Shangguan Xiu.
Just as he was about to say something, Shangguan Xiu urged his horse forward and said pleasantly: "I asked them to bring His Highness out."
"You're fucking seeking death," Anderson yelled, turning his head and taking a closer look, he saw that the man standing in front of him on horseback was Shangguan Xiu.
He was so frightened that he trembled, his face instantly turned pale, and he stammered: "His Royal Highness the Duke of Guoguo" "Well, it's rare that His Highness the Prince still remembers me.
I heard that His Highness the Prince is going to kill me with his own hands," Shangguan Xiuxiao asked.
Anderson was so frightened that his legs became weak, his body shook, he fell to his knees with a thud, and screamed: "I have misunderstood His Majesty the Duke, this is a misunderstanding."
He is not very old, he has just turned sixteen.
In Shangguan Xiu's eyes, he is still just a half-grown child.
Seeing that more and more people were watching around him, Shangguan Xiu didn't know what to say and shook his head to the military police on both sides.
The military police understood and quickly pulled Anderson closer to the carriage.
Shangguanxiu urged his horse forward and whispered to Anderson in the car: "His Royal Highness should remember his identity.
Even if he misses a woman, he should not come to this point."
"I, I, I'm just curious," Anderson wanted to explain, but Shangguan Xiu had already moved away.
How to educate princes and princesses is Siglan's business and has nothing to do with him.
Watching the gendarmerie drive the carriage away, Menshak smiled wryly.
He didn't know if he was talking to Shangguan Xiu, or he was sighing to himself, and murmured: "It's hard for the eldest prince to be successful."

Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently and said: "His Majesty the King's heir is not Anderson alone, so why should Lord Ika worry?"
After a pause, he said cheerfully: "The little prince Boldan, although he is only eight years old, is extremely intelligent. , it can become a great thing in the future.”
When Menshak heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked at Shangguan Xiu for a while, then he smiled with relief, bowed and said, "What His Highness said is absolutely true."
What he just said sounded like he was lamenting the eldest prince's incompetence, but in fact he was testing Shangguan Xiu to see if he had any intention of letting Du Jiguo exist for a long time.
If he wanted to annex Duji after driving away the Ningnan people, he would naturally not have to consider the long-term replacement of kings.
However, Shangguan Xiu specifically mentioned that the young prince Boldan was suitable to inherit the throne, which undoubtedly showed that he did not annex the throne.
