The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 331

Hengshanzhai is located on the westernmost side of Guangnan West Road, about the same distance to Shanchanfu, a major military city in Dali, as to Leizhou.

In other words, at this time, the Dali army should have only dispatched troops from Dali for less than a month.

And a few months ago, what was the situation in Guangxi like?
Zhao Dongting remembered that at that time they had just deployed their soldiers, and each army had established a guerrilla phalanx.

If nothing unexpected, Duan Zhixing, the monarch of Dali, should have decided to send troops after he learned of the victory of the Song army in Guandao.From this point of view, he should indeed intend to help Song Jun.

However, now that Song Jun has won the victory in Guangxi, the situation is delicate, will he change his mind?
As the emperor, Zhao Dongting had to think about this.

Right now, the Song army is stationed in Xiujiang Town, Leizhou is empty, and Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng are not far away. Will Duan Zhixing change his mind?
Undoubtedly, these Dali troops could help the Song Dynasty to stop Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng.However, they may also assist Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng to destroy Song Dynasty.

With the current military strength of the Song Dynasty, it was almost impossible to stop the Yuan Dynasty and Dali coalition forces even if they had firearms.

"Damn it."

Zhao Dongting murmured softly, "If Duan Zhixing knew about this great war, wouldn't he take advantage of it and rob him?"

"Go down and rest first!"

He waved away the messenger soldier who was kneeling in front of him, and immediately shouted to the outside of the hall: "Go and see Mr. Xuan Qin."

It was Qin Han's idea to ask people to unite with Dali.At this time, Zhao Dongting naturally wanted to hear his opinion.

Not long after, Qin Han rushed to the main hall, bowed his hands to Zhao Dongting, "Your Majesty."

Zhao Dongting handed him the letter directly and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Qin Han read the letter, but said: "Your Majesty, isn't that what you want Dali to send troops to help?"

"Ah."

Zhao Dongting smiled lightly, "If the situation in Guangxi is still uncertain, I certainly hope they can send troops to help. But now Boyan and Ye Su'er only have tens of thousands of troops left in Wuzhou, and they have no successor. I still want them to come." do what?"

Qin Han said: "But over there in Leizhou..."

Zhao Dongting said: "I would rather lead the army back to Leizhou than have them go to Leizhou. Have you ever thought about it, if they take advantage of the fire?"

Qin Han pondered for a long time before he said: "The emperor meant to let them go back? Does Duan Zhixing think that we are teasing him?"

"Teasing?"

Zhao Dongting's face was a bit cold, "He can't make up his mind, and he has not sent troops for a long time, how can you say that I am teasing him?"

Qin Han nodded, "Then the emperor announced me to go to the Dali army and let them withdraw?"

Zhao Dongting said: "The person was invited by the strategists of your Guigu Academy, and if you want to send it now, of course you have to send it. If I send the ministers of the court, I'm afraid it will be easier to ask the gods than to send the gods away." Ah! It is true that our army has won a great victory here, but its strength is far from what it used to be. As long as Duan Zhixing is not a fool, he will probably be tempted to take advantage of the fire. At that time, whether he will occupy Leizhou, or join forces with Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng If you attack me, the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger of being destroyed."

Qin Han nodded thoughtfully.

Probably no one would have imagined that the war would develop to the present situation.

If Dali had sent troops to aid earlier, perhaps the battle of Guangxi would have ended long ago, and Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng would not have led troops to invade Leizhou.

Besides, if Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng had not led their troops to invade Leizhou, Zhao Dongting would not have been so eager to start a decisive battle with Boyan and Ye Su'er.

Various unexpected factors just made this Dali Yuan army extremely important.

Although they only have [-] soldiers, whichever side they fall to, they can make sure which side wins.

Zhao Dongting didn't trust Duan Zhixing, so instead of taking risks, it's better to let them go back.

After finally defeating Boyan and Ye Su'er, he didn't want to capsize in the gutter.

On this day, more than ten Wudingtang masters, headed by Huang Liujia, escorted Qin Han to Yongzhou.

Yongzhou is in the middle of Hengshanzhai and Leizhou, counting the speed of the Dali army, they should be able to meet the Dali army there.

Not long after, Zhang Jue led the generals to the palace hall.

All of them were covered in blood, and the blood stains on some of their faces had already formed lumps.

Zhao Dongting stopped them from saluting, and asked in the first sentence: "How about the casualties of our army?"

Zhang Jue looked a little ashamed, "Reporting to the emperor, our army... our army died nearly... [-]."

Zhao Dongting was silent.

With nearly 12 troops against about [-] soldiers and horses of the Yuan army, there was such a big loss, which was beyond his expectation.

In his heart, he originally estimated that the loss should only be around [-] to [-].

Unexpectedly, the Yuan army would fight to the death. After all, this made them a little hasty and insufficiently prepared.

Moreover, after the rain, the hot air balloons could no longer fight, and the Flying Army returned to Xiujiang.This also gave the Yuan army a chance to breathe.

At night, you can't see it even in the rainy night, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the role that the Shenlong gun soldiers can play.

The grenades and thunderbolts didn't help much.

The combination of various factors caused Song Jun to lose so much more than expected.

This made Zhao Dongting feel sad, but at the same time, he felt that those Dali troops had to go back.If they take the opportunity to join forces with Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng, not to mention only Shenlong guns and grenade launchers, even if they have mortars, the Southern Song Dynasty may completely lose power.

After the silence, Zhao Dongting asked again: "How are our generals?"

Zhang Jue said: "Commander Dongheli, Commander Ge Xiuhong, and Commander Lu Yu all died in battle."

Zhao Dongting raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, and slightly closed his eyes, "Well...you guys go down first..."

He has sympathy.

If possible, he hoped that no one in his army would be lost.Hearing such a result now, he was really upset.

There was a heavy pressure on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe smoothly.

After Zhang Jue and the others retreated, Zhao Dongting asked Hong Wutian and Le Wuwei to also leave the hall, closed the door of the hall by himself, and remained silent in the dark hall.

Once a general succeeds and his bones are dry, what about becoming a country?

Having witnessed the deaths of too many people, Zhao Dongting felt more pressure than anyone else.

For the ideal country in his heart, he has been working hard.And the deaths of the soldiers were all on his mind.

Zhao Dongting had woken up many times in his sleep. In the dream, it was the soldiers who died in battle staring at him covered in blood.

Neither of them spoke, but the scrutiny in their eyes made Zhao Dongting uneasy.

They seemed to be questioning him, why were they the ones who died?

It seems to be asking why Zhao Dongting's ideal country has not come yet.

Those familiar or unfamiliar faces all had the same indifference, anger, and resentment in their eyes.

Not everyone can afford hundreds of thousands of ghosts.

Zhao Dongting can only continue to strengthen his heart, but even he himself does not know how long he can bear it.

"Squeak..."

Suddenly, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and a beautiful figure Pingting walked in.

It's Lechan.

She saw Zhao Dongting huddled in the corner of the hall with his head buried in his knees.Biting his lip, he almost cried.

She didn't know what happened to Zhao Dongting, but just looking at Zhao Dongting's appearance, she knew that there must be a lot of things in Zhao Dongting's heart.

What kind of pressure is it that can make the young and wise emperor behave like this?

For an instant, she felt heartbroken.

"emperor."

Hurriedly running in front of Zhao Dongting, Le Chan put aside her shyness and embraced Zhao Dongting.

She has never been like this.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting choked up.Le Chan's embrace made him feel warm, and the emotions in his heart could no longer collapse.

Le Chan heard the choking and felt Zhao Dongting's trembling, but hugged Zhao Dongting even tighter.

She was just an ordinary woman, she didn't know how to comfort Zhao Dongting, she could only warm him with her arms.

a long time.

Zhao Dongting's trembling gradually weakened.

Le Chan lowered her head, saw Zhao Dongting's face through the faint light coming in from the main hall door, and realized that he had fallen into a deep sleep.

She bit her lip and gently played with Zhao Dongting's hair, "If you are not the emperor and I am not a saint, then it would be great..."

She was a little envious of her younger sister Le Wu.

Xiao Yulin rushed to Xiujiang, as long as he went to Leizhou again, his sister and Xiao Yulin should get married soon, right?
Le Chan also wished that her relationship with Zhao Dongting would not have so many ups and downs.

In her sleep, Zhao Dongting still frowned, which made her heart seem to be held tightly by her hands.
