Chapter 799: Victory!

Now, the imperial court intends to support the Qi family, and it can be said that they are deeply favored. However, at this time, it is a bit tactless for Duke Qi to offend the emperor and advise him.

Qi Rong's face was unusually firm. He certainly understood that honest advice is unpleasant to the ear.

In the current situation, if the imperial court cannot adjust its strategy, it may not be a matter of survival for the Qi family!

"Girl, we are all in the same boat. If we prosper together, we all prosper together. If we lose together, we all lose together. If you underestimate Dayu, something bad will happen."

"Even though I know that persuading His Majesty to give up Dali will offend the emperor and offend the dignitaries of the dynasty, I have to do it!"

"Yes!"

Qi Lanyue also nodded in a complicated way, looked at Qi Rong and said, "Grandpa, I will personally meet the emperor, but before that, I have to meet the powerful prime minister first."

"The powerful prime minister may be able to persuade His Majesty, but he may not be able to suppress the restless clans."

"In any case, my grandson will try his best."

"Grandpa, you must be extremely careful too. Dayu's military force is no longer what it used to be."

...

Dongyan City.

Three figures stood on the city wall. Ning Fan was in the center, looking into the distance, and the autumn atmosphere became stronger.

"Wen Ruo, there are only four months left until the end of the year. In your opinion, can Dayu reach Zijing City before the New Year?"

"No!"

Xun Yu shook his head directly, stroked his beard and said, "My lord, in my opinion, the most urgent task is not to continue to march westward."

"Oh?"

"He Lian Zong Heng!"

Xun Yu uttered these four words, and a deep light flashed in his eyes. He said calmly, "Although Dayu's troops are sharp, even if we can attack Dayan, the price we pay is extremely painful."

"By then, it will only allow the Hu slaves to take advantage of the situation. I suggest that we stop here first, and after conquering Changluo, we will control Dayan's throat."

Ning Fan's face also showed some contemplation. With Dayu's current troops, continuing to advance westward or marching south can severely damage Dayan.

But as Xun Yu said, there is still a delicate balance in the Central Plains today. After all, in the west of Dayan, there is still Xishu hiding its strength.

Changluo...

"Yesterday Wenyou received news from the east. Under the intimidation of Gongjin and Yuan Jing, the people of Yingzhou intend to negotiate peace with Dayu."

"They are even preparing to send envoys to Dayu!"

"Wenruo, great minister, what do you think of this?"

Xun Yu glanced at Wang Mang and did not speak in a hurry. Although this man was a minister who usurped the Han Dynasty, as a colleague now, he must respect his predecessors!

Moreover, he was able to overthrow the huge Han Dynasty with his own strength. How could he be a mediocre person?

"My lord, Japan is a tiny country, but it is ambitious and has coveted the Central Plains for a long time."

"In my opinion, the peace talks are fake, and the real purpose is to investigate our strengths and weaknesses."

Xun Yu also nodded in agreement and said softly: "Now my Dayu and Dayan are at war, and Dali is also deeply involved in the battlefield. The chaos in the Central Plains is a golden opportunity for them."

"If they find that my Dayu's main forces are deployed in the west and north, they will surely march westward!"

"Yeah!"

Ning Fan smiled and said lightly: "After all, the Japanese are just jumping clowns, Dayan and Hu Nu are the main ones!"

"My lord, there will be a great war between us and Dayan sooner or later."

"Now, the initiative is in our hands. Whether it is national strength or foundation, my Dayu is not Can be compared with Dayan, so my suggestion is to rescue Dali first. "

"When we occupy Changluo, it is equivalent to strangling Dayan's throat to the south and east!"

Xun Yu said solemnly: "Occupy Changluo City, and then erode Dayan's southeastern territory."

"Yes!"

Ning Fan nodded, looking into the distance, and said calmly: "Victory news is coming."

One man and one horse rushed to the bottom of the tower, carrying the flag of the Qihuo Army, turned over and dismounted, looked at the tower, saluted, and shouted: "Qihuo Army Scout Camp, report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"The Qihuo Army won a great victory, beheaded Dayan Changqing Hou Yunxi, and wiped out Dayan, Chiyan Guard, and Heiyan Guard's 100,000 troops!"

On the tower, whether it was Ning Fan or the Zhenxi Army soldiers guarding the city, they all showed surprise.

Ning Fan also didn't expect that the first to come to report the victory was the Qihuo Army.

You know, the Qihuo Army is stationed in Changyuan with infantry, and there are only 50,000 soldiers, so the pressure is undoubtedly the greatest.

And the Red Flame Guard and the Black Flame Guard are from Dayan's most elite nine guards of the capital.

"How are the casualties?"

"43,642 people, killed in battle!"

The scout of the Qihuo Army choked a little, but his chest was still straight, and his tone was full of energy. He replied loudly: "The Qihuo Army won a great victory, and the general is taking the brothers back to the city!"

"Open the city gate!"

Ning Fan walked down the tower without hesitation and whispered: "I will personally welcome the triumphant return of the Qihuo boys!"

At the order, Dongyan City also began to get busy, and quickly pulled up a ceremonial team outside the city gate.

Ning Fan, Xun Yu, Wang Mang, Li Ru, Jia Xu, and three dukes personally went out of the city to greet them.

On the ancient road, a team of blood-soaked figures took steady steps and came to the foot of Dongyan City step by step.

"I, the humble general Ran Min, lead the begging soldiers to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ning Fan and his party looked at the army in front of them, all of them were moved.

Looking around, in the army that stretches for several miles, no one has complete armor, and even more than half of the beggars have no less than three or five scars on their bodies.

Zhao Changying's face was also full of wonder. He walked up to a beggar soldier and pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang.

"this……"

"The weapons of the beggar army are all made of my Dayu's hundred-forged iron!"

"Completely curled up!"

Su Xuan and Liu Fengping also stepped forward and inspected the weapons of more than ten beggar soldiers. Whether they were swords or broadswords, almost all of them had curled blades.

"call!"

"The begging army is so strong!"

Zhao Changying's face showed a touch of respect, the begging army was victorious, but everyone was not too happy.

Ran Min slowly raised his head, and the soldiers consciously gave way to a path. The baggage cart behind them was already filled with the corpses of his comrades.

"Ran Min!"

"The end will be here."

"All soldiers who died in the beggar army will be allowed to enter the Dayu Martyr Cemetery, and the injured will be treated as soon as possible."

"The begging army will be expanded to 100,000 from now on!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

The ceremony officer on the side shouted loudly, and the pillars on both sides of the city gate had been prepared and played music to see off the soldiers who died in the battle.

Ning Fan and his party had just entered the city, and Bai Qi's good news also arrived.

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince."

"Commander Bai ambushed Nan Yan's army and killed more than 180,000 enemies. Now he has captured Nagano and is preparing to march south!"

"hiss!"

…

[I wish you all a happy New Year's Day. In the new year, I hope that everyone can get something for nothing, enjoy the fruits of their labor, and become rich overnight! 】
