Chapter 1401 Take the initiative to come to the door

About half an hour after the army entered Daze City, Guan Ning arrived at the city gate and sent Bai Shaoyuan away.

This time, he took away 50,000 Zhenbei troops and marched long distances to support the northern war. This was the significance of Daze City's victory in this battle. It would allow him to have spare strength to mobilize his troops.

Of course, these 50,000 troops cannot defeat the Western Region army, let alone help the Kelie tribe to eliminate the Ulliang tribe, but it can also have a mitigating effect.

The looser the situation on the battlefield here, the more troops can be mobilized. It seems like tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, but this can only be done...

At this time, Daze City had been occupied by Daning troops, and Hao Cang greeted them at the city gate and reported the corresponding situation.

"Liang Jun evacuated decisively and burned all the food before leaving, leaving behind some useless armor and weapons..."

Speaking of weapons and armor.

There was disdain in Hao Cang's tone. Compared with Daning's military equipment, the Liang Kingdom was really too rough.

Earlier, in order to prepare weapons and equipment, Liang Guo carried out private iron smelting all over the country, but in the end it was all unusable scrap iron.

These scrap metals were made into weapons that were as brittle as wood and bamboo, and they killed countless soldiers.

Daning doesn't like it at all.

"In other words, there is nothing left for us?"

Guan Ning originally wanted to make a fortune from Daze City and seize some military supplies. As expected of Zhu Zhen, he could do this.

"Keep it."

"Oh? What's left?"

"Leave a princess."

Having said this, Hao Cang's face softened, with a bit of joy.

He did not expect that the shocking gambling that was popular in the DPRK and even in the country would come to an end so quickly.

Make a lot of money!

Make a lot of money!

As the commander-in-chief of the military, how could he be as conservative as a civilian official? Naturally, he made a big bet.

But the one who earns more is the Ministry of War, Mr. Fei.

Mr. Fei is the banker, and what the banker wants is for His Majesty to grab the Crown Princess of Daliang. In fact, there are not many people who do this, and most of them are betting on not enough.

Because this condition is very harsh!

This was the basis for the initial bet, but there were also conditions, mainly a set number of years.

I don’t know how long the war will last. A war like this to destroy the country may last ten or twenty years. Do we have to wait forever?

Therefore, a time limit was set up, which was limited to two years from the beginning of the war.

If completed within two years, it will be counted, and if it is completed after two years, it will be considered a failure.

This period is not long, it can be said to be very short.

The Crown Princess of Daliang must live in Bianjing and must be closely protected. If she can be snatched away, the Liang Kingdom will probably be destroyed.

But before that, there is another condition.

That is, the Crown Prince Zhu Zhen has no desire to kill. If the time comes, he would rather kill the Crown Princess than let her be snatched away by Guan Ning.

This is about the face of the country, as it should be.

Thinking about it this way, it is very difficult. Naturally, most of them were postponed. Now it has only been one year and it has been completed. It was not His Majesty who grabbed it, but the Crown Princess of Liang took the initiative to send it to her door.

It's unbelievable!

Hao Cang's words made Guan Ning unable to react for a moment.

"Who did you say stayed?"

"It's none other than the Crown Princess of Liang, Lu Qiling!"



"The general has orders to hurry up and march."

"The people behind follow up!"

"Follow up quickly!"

While marching on the deserted road, loud voices of urging could be heard from time to time in the queue.

The army has already evacuated, and it is difficult to see the end of the long queue.

Their expressions were numb and their moods were low, and they had no energy in their steps. They looked like a defeated army.

Prior to this, they had been mobilized and defended Daze with high fighting spirit. There were many soldiers in the city and sufficient food and grass. It should be very easy for them to defend the city.

But less than twenty days later, they fled in a hurry, which still feels ridiculous.

The reason for the defeat turned out to be that His Royal Highness could not bear the enemy's slander and impulsively went out of the city to fight.

Even if the enemy deployed a magical weapon capable of air strikes and even the Iron Pagoda was destroyed, what morale could the army have?

Although there were many people in the team, it was silent, with only a faint exchange of voices.

"Fortunately, the Crown Princess was not snatched away this time."

Suddenly a general spoke with emotion, seeming to be more fortunate than they were able to evacuate safely.

After hearing this, the deputy general accompanying him asked in a low voice: "Could it be that General Tian, ​​you also bet on that bet?"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Tian Kun was slightly startled, and then asked: "Are you also taking custody?"

Although the lieutenant general did not answer, his expression said everything.

"What are you betting on?"

"Of course I am... How could Emperor Daning snatch the Crown Princess away? How is that possible?"

The deputy general spoke quickly, but Tian Kun did not notice that his tone was wrong. Instead, he said with fear: "This time it is very dangerous. If we don't withdraw in time, the princess may really be snatched away by Emperor Daning."

"Emperor Daning is the imperial charioteer who is conducting the expedition himself. If Daze City cannot be defended, wouldn't this be the end?"

"Danger!"

Tian Kun obviously had been saving up for a long time and wanted to vent, so he continued: "It's not just me, there are many generals who are very scared."

The deputy general was secretly surprised when he heard this. He thought there were only a few people participating, but he didn't expect there to be so many.

"You said...what should I do if His Highness the Crown Prince finds out?"

He suddenly became afraid.

Not to mention that it is wrong to engage in gambling on a large scale, the most important thing is that it is because of His Highness the Crown Prince, which is extremely disrespectful!

"As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public, and there is nothing wrong with participating in gambling. If the crown princess is really snatched away by Emperor Yuanwu, it will definitely be over!"

The lieutenant's face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with turmoil. This was exactly what he was betting on.

The odds of betting on this are high, and you can make a lot of money if you win.

"Hey, where did you get the money from? It is said that there is a big banker behind this, I don't know who it is..."

The deputy general couldn't listen to what he said. With so many people involved, His Royal Highness will find out sooner or later.

But there should be people like me, right?

Thinking of this, he calmed down a little and felt a little regretful. He was also dizzy at the time, so why did he take this risk?

How could the Crown Princess be snatched away? This is simply impossible!

He looked at the magnificent guard of honor at the front of the queue and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know, and most people didn't know, that the person in that guard of honor was no longer the real Lu Qiling!

Right in the middle of the queue.

Zhu Zhen frowned and said: "Why is the marching speed so slow? Daning has Zhenbei Army. I believe we can catch up soon."

"I've given orders to rush forward, but the defeated army can't gain momentum."

Fan Cang told the truth.

"We are just retreating, how can we talk about a defeated army? Order an emergency move!

Zhu Zhen frowned tightly, feeling extremely depressed at this moment. This battle really fulfilled the old saying, lose your wife and lose your troops.

"Promise, I will give the order immediately."

Fan Cang did not dare to touch his brow.

"etc."

Zhu Zhen stopped him and asked: "I was patrolling the military ranks just now. Why did I always hear the soldiers talking about how glad they were that the Crown Princess was not snatched away?"
Chapter completed!
