With a bang, Li Maozhen slapped the battle report heavily on the desk. Because he didn't control the force well, the whole desk was shattered into pieces, "Zhao Nianci, that bitch... is nothing but an idiot!"

Li Ye waved his sleeves, brushing away the dust that fell in front of him, "King Qi, you smashed this battle report before the lonely king even read it."

"What's so interesting!" Li Maozhen glared at Li Ye angrily, "Zhao Nianci was attacked by the Wu army's navy in Surabaya, and tens of thousands of soldiers died or surrendered. After Wu Jun's gains, what else is there to see!"

Li Ye groaned, "General Zhao suffered such a big defeat?"

Li Maozhen snorted resentfully, "If that's the case, then that's all! The hateful thing is that after Zhao Nianci's defeat in Surabaya, the nearly 200,000 troops who had already stationed outside Xiaoxian County were already running out of food and fodder. In a panic, I had to retreat in a hurry, but was chased by the Wu army in Xiao County, causing countless casualties!"

Li Ye's eyes widened in "shock", "Doesn't that mean that our army was completely defeated in the battle of attacking Xiao County? But with an army of 200,000, how could more than 100,000 escape? Wu Jun retreated from Dangshan At the time, the vitality was not seriously injured... "

"Shut up!" Li Maozhen saw Li Ye "ignorantly" putting salt on the wound, and was so annoyed that she wanted to swallow him in one gulp.

There was no one else in the room, and she had no scruples in speaking, "After Sun Ru defeated Zhao Nianci, he made a surprise attack overnight, and took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Dangshan, which had few troops and was completely defenseless! The Hezhong Army, which was defeated in Xiao County, wanted to flee back to Dangshan to rest. , and suffered a head-on blow... ”

Speaking of this, Li Maozhen couldn't continue, she was so angry that her face was flushed, and her chest heaved violently as she sat there.

Li Ye said "suddenly realized", "In other words, the more than 200,000 vanguard troops led by Zhao Nianci either died or surrendered, and they all explained it. Not only that, Dangshan County was also occupied by the Wu army for the second time, what is it?" There are no results... This, this is an unprecedented defeat!"

Li Ye looked at Li Maozhen tentatively, "afraid" and "worried" and said: "The Hezhong Army is the elite under King Qi's command, and they are completely lost now. I'm afraid King Qi will be very distressed?"

"Li Cong... Li Ye!" Li Maozhen's eyes were about to fly out and hit Li Ye's face, she gritted her teeth, "Will you die if you don't speak?!"

Li Ye shrugged, with a frightened and innocent expression on his face.

Li Maozhen lowered her head and fell into the struggle of self-entanglement.

...

"Report! His Royal Highness King An, His Royal Highness King Qi, Cui Keli and Zhao Bingkun, please see me!"

"Let them in."

Cui Keli who entered the door was expressionless, with a look of looking at his eyes, nose, nose, nose and heart, knowing nothing, and having no emotional fluctuations in his heart, while Zhao Bingkun's face was gray, as if he was a little ashamed.

Zhao Nianci just came back... he fled back alone, and now he is pleading guilty outside.

Therefore, Cui Keli and Zhao Bingkun already knew about the situation of Dangshan's defeat, which is also the reason for their different expressions.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, the last general deserves to die..." Zhao Bingkun bowed in front of him, "Zhao Nianci was unfavorable in the battle, lost troops and lost generals, and has the high hopes of King Qi. Please ask King Qi to order his head to be taken as a memorial to the spirits of the soldiers in heaven... . . . ”

As he spoke, Zhao Bingkun burst into tears.

Li Ye glanced at him, his face was full of sympathy, but inside he was secretly happy. Then he and Cui Keli exchanged glances, both of them saw the deep pride hidden in the other, and at the same time, they both had a relaxed attitude to watch the show—the army has never been defeated in this battle, and Zhao Nianci lost two soldiers this time. One hundred thousand, how will Li Maozhen end up

Li Maozhen's face was gloomy: "During the Battle of Ruzhou, our army encircled the Shu army and wiped out its 500,000 army within ten days. What did it rely on? It was unexpected, concealed encounters, and sudden raids! But this time, Surabaya In the first battle, Zhao Nianci was actually defeated by Sun Ru using these twelve characters! General Zhao, are you trying to piss me off to death?!"

Zhao Bingkun was lying on the ground, feeling Li Maozhen's anger, being reprimanded in front of two outsiders, Li Ye and Cui Keli, he lost all face.

However, the master minister was different, so he couldn't say anything, besides, Zhao Nianci's defeat was indeed too great.

Zhao Bingkun could only mournfully said: "It is the last general who has no way to teach, please punish the crime, Your Highness!"

Li Maozhen showed a heartbroken expression, beheading Ma Di with tears, "Your daughter's defeat and humiliation of the lord is an unforgivable crime. If you don't kill, you won't be able to rectify the law and subdue the people. Come here, take Zhao Nianci down, and behead him before the army!"

Zhao Bingkun raised his head suddenly, but he didn't expect Li Maozhen to be so decisive.

Li Maozhen looked at Li Ye.

Li Ye looked at Cui Keli, as if I sympathized with you, but I didn't know how to speak for you.

Li Maozhen looked at Cui Keli.

Cui Keli stood with his hands tied, his eyes on his toes, as if he didn't notice anything.

Li Maozhen was angry: You two didn't plead for Zhao Nianci

Zhao Bingkun grabbed the ground with his head: "Your Highness! Zhao Nianci's defeat was all because the general didn't teach him well, and the general is willing to die for her. Please help me, Your Highness!"

Li Maozhen's face sank like water.

He said with deep meaning: "The general is the master of the military family. If the general dies, which military disciple will serve the king?"

Zhao Bingkun understood what Li Maozhen meant, and immediately said resolutely: "If the little girl dies, even if the general is alive, he will still be a walking corpse. I'm afraid he can no longer serve His Highness!"

Li Maozhen immediately hesitated: "This..."

He looked at Li Ye again, and kept signaling with his eyes: It's your turn to intercede for him, speak up!

Li Ye, however, looked at Zhao Bingkun and sighed, turning a deaf ear to Li Maozhen's eyes: It would be good if the military strategists stopped working for Li Maozhen, and it would be easy for him to deal with Li Maozhen in the future, how could he speak for the other party at this time

I can only pretend to be stupid.

Li Maozhen was so angry by Li Ye that one Buddha came out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He said to Cui Keli coldly, "Sir, what should we do with this matter?"

Cui Keli looked embarrassed, "I don't want to speak nonsense about how King Qi will deal with his generals... However, the Wu army is obviously much more difficult to deal with than the Shu army. The situation in the war is so stalemate. , refused to work, then..."

Speaking of this, Cui Keli didn't say any more.

Li Maozhen almost went berserk at Cui Keli's words.

Fortunately, Zhao Bingkun is not stupid, he quickly thought of a way: "My little girl's defeat in Dangshan is not only a disgrace to His Highness, but also a disgrace to the military family. If this humiliation cannot be washed away for the army, military disciples will no longer be able to serve in the army." Take a foothold! The general asks to lead the troops to attack Dangshan. If you can’t capture Dangshan, Xiaoxian, and Xuzhou, and make up for your mistakes, the general is willing to come and see you!"

Li Maozhen's eyes lit up: "Really? Will the general issue a military order?"

"The general is willing!"

"Okay, come on..."

"Wait!" Cui Keli said immediately, "This is absolutely impossible!"

Li Maozhen asked strangely, "Why not?"

Cui Keli said sternly: "Your Highness made an agreement with King Qi before, if the frontline soldiers were defeated, King An's trilogy should play. Now Zhao Nianci is not only defeated, but also lost 200,000 troops, so it's fine if King Qi doesn't punish. Even let your soldiers go to battle, where is this going to put us?!"

Li Maozhen showed embarrassment and hesitation, "This... is true. However, if General Zhao does not go to battle to avenge his shame, Zhao Nianci will have to beheaded. At that time, there will be no generals in the army, and the combat power will be greatly reduced. If it doesn't work out, it will fall into chaos. The Wu army has Confucianism to help, so it's very difficult to deal with, I'm afraid the situation will get out of hand... "

Cui Keli snorted coldly: "Whether Zhao Nianci will be killed or not, King Qi has the final say. But from today on, Dangshan line can only be attacked by our soldiers!"

Seeing this, Li Ye echoed, "What Mr. Cui said is true."

In fact, he also knew that it was difficult to kill Zhao Nianci, mainly because Zhao Bingkun was willing to take responsibility, and Li Maozhen was naturally unwilling to cut his own wings when he had an excuse.

In the final analysis, what Li Ye wants is for his family to occupy the territory ahead, as long as this goal can be achieved.

Li Maozhen nodded: "Since that's the case, let's do it this way. As for Zhao Nianci..."

Cui Keli answered immediately: "If the general of the defeated army is not severely punished, the whole army will not accept it!"

Zhao Bingkun glared at him immediately.

Cui Keli was not afraid, and stared back directly: What are you looking at? I just want to disgust you and let all the soldiers in the feudal town know that the generals of King Qi are incompetent, and they have to rely on our King An's tribe when they encounter strong enemies. What can you do to me

Li Maozhen thought for a moment, and said: "Zhao Nianci's crime is unforgivable. King Nian'an interceded for her, and temporarily spared her death, so that she..."

Li Ye was suddenly unhappy: When did I ever plead for her

But when Li Maozhen said this, he couldn't refute it. After all, he wanted to tell the people below, and he still needed to maintain the alliance between the two armies.

Cui Keli quickly took over Li Maozhen's words: "You can order Zhao Nianci to be a pawn, follow orders, and go out with the army!"

Li Maozhen and Zhao Bingkun looked at Cui Keli together, each looking more resentful than the other.

Asking Zhao Nianci to be a pawn is not only a great insult to Zhao Nianci and the military strategists, but it is also tantamount to telling the soldiers of the three armies clearly: What military genius, what king Qi's arm, can only be a pawn in front of King An's trilogy child only.

Once King An wins the Wu army in this battle, as long as King An is still there in the future, if Li Maozhen wants to have prestige in front of the various feudal towns, it will be a bit of a dream.

Facing the gazes of the two, Cui Keli looked upright: "Zhao Nianci is guilty and must be punished. Besides, she has fought in Dangshan and Xiaoxian counties after all, and is familiar with the localities and generals of the Wu army. This is a chance for her to make up for her mistakes. Is it possible?" Does King Qi really want to kill her?"

Li Maozhen felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly. Even though she felt resentful, she could only pinch her nose and approve Cui Keli's proposal at this moment.

Li Maozhen was silent for a while and then asked stiffly: "Who is suitable to attack Dangshan?"

For this, both Li Ye and Cui Keli had the best candidates in mind.

"Shangguan Qingcheng."
