This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 61 Countermeasures, the Emperor's Heart

In the dead silence, everyone turned their gazes to Xiao Hongyuan with complicated expressions.

Although the speculation in their hearts is chilling and unacceptable, the facts are in front of them, and they have to think about it.

"General, Your Majesty... is he really so cruel? Isn't he afraid that our army will be defeated and cast aside by the world?!"

Xiao Hongyuan glanced at the person who spoke, then at the other generals, dropped the bamboo pole and said expressionlessly: "Who would know that the matter here is related to him?"

"In this battle, this general is the commander in chief. If he loses, everything will be remembered on this general's head, and the words 'Xiao Hongyuan' will only be nailed on the pillar of shame!"

"It seems that His Majesty's time is approaching, otherwise, he wouldn't be so crazy."

The generals couldn't help being silent, and emotions of sadness and despair began to spread in the tent.

"General, it seems that we are doomed this time."

A general shook his head bitterly, and then forced himself into a hearty smile pretending to be relaxed.

"However, if you can fight to the death with the great general, the last general will be honored even though he is dead!"

The rest of the generals looked at each other, and suddenly their expressions became serious, and they clenched their fists firmly.

"Willing to die with the general!"

They were all Xiao Hongyuan's cronies, and they were all true iron-blooded soldiers. Even if they were betrayed, they never thought of defecting to the enemy and treason!

Xiao Hongyuan laughed, but shook his head and said, "Why are you so pessimistic? The battlefield is still uncertain!"

The generals couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and after a few breaths, a general asked excitedly and expectantly: "General, do you still have a backup?"

"Naturally! Since the general has long been aware of the danger in the dark, how can he be unprepared?"

Xiao Hongyuan nodded, looking confident.

"This general has already made two-handed preparations for this battle. If there is no accident, it will naturally proceed according to the original plan."

"If there is an accident, the second strategy will naturally be implemented!"

While speaking, Xiao Hongyuan picked up the bamboo pole and began to swing and push it on the sand table.

All the generals swarmed forward, nervously watching the flags and puppet representing their own armies on the sand table constantly changing positions.

When Xiao Hongyuan stopped his movements, all the generals couldn't help opening their mouths, their eyes were full of shock and unimaginable excitement.

Because, after Xiao Hongyuan's adjustment, the original plan was completely reversed. Instead of forcing all the way to this place, the various armies of our own side directly drove to the north by detour, enclosing the position where the north symbolized the Dajin Central Army!
Especially those two elite cavalry that had disappeared seven days ago finally appeared on the sand table at this moment.

Look at their positions, one is in the northernmost Shuhan Corridor, and the other is directly inserted into the back of the enemy's central army from the north!
The Shuhan Corridor is the main traffic route in the south of the Dajin Dynasty and the lifeline of the Dajin army. Once the Shuhan Corridor is closed, it means that the most important supply line of the Dajin Dynasty will be completely cut off!
And the cavalry who launched a fatal blow to the Daikin Chinese Army from the rear will also bring nightmares to the enemy!

In this way, even if the enemy's central army will not be destroyed in the first battle, its main force must return quickly.

If not, when the enemy's central army is swallowed up, the remaining main force is in danger of being wiped out!

And such a dangerous situation, the other party is absolutely unacceptable!

After figuring out Xiao Hongyuan's strategy, all the generals were overjoyed, casting admiration and admiration.

As expected, he is indeed an invincible general who has far-sightedness and foresight. Facing such a situation that is almost certain to lose, he still has the means to turn the tables!

"General, Weihu!"

"Wai!"

As one person sighed, the others shouted in unison, their eyes burning.

Xiao Hongyuan smiled, then his expression became serious.

"Although the strategy is good, it is not that simple to achieve it. The most important point is that we must hold on for at least two days! Only in this way can the military be in place."

"Although our army occupies the geographical advantage of Changyanpo, the enemy's army is too large, and they will inevitably attack frantically after they notice the abnormality. Do you have the confidence to resist?"

"The last general must fight to the death without retreating, and fight the enemy until death!"

All the generals shouted together, their eyes determined.

"Okay! Then let us see whose bones are stronger!"

Xiao Hongyuan slapped the sand table heavily, and then began to dispatch troops.

For this battle, Xiao Hongyuan didn't take Dayue's army into consideration, because he didn't trust the opponent, and Dayue's battlefield was far away, so it was difficult for the two sides to coordinate.

……

Daxia, the palace.

Zuo Zhi looked at the imperial doctor who was busy by the couch, with complicated thoughts.

His Majesty's health was deteriorating day by day, and with the successive blows brought about by the successive deaths of the three princes, as well as worries about what happened behind him, His Majesty finally lay down.

Judging from the expressions of several imperial doctors, His Majesty's current situation is probably not good...

Just as Zuo Zhi was sighing secretly, there was suddenly loud obstruction and scolding from outside the hall.

Not long after, a servant rushed in quickly.

"Left palm hall, is General Hussars, he has to face His Majesty for life and death, he seems very angry..."

Zuo Zhi frowned slightly, and looked at Xia Yongnian with his eyes closed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter?"

Xia Yongnian's hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

Zuo Zhi didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried forward and replied softly: "Your Majesty, General Hussars, please see me."

Xia Yongnian opened his eyes, waved away the imperial doctor, and raised his hand towards Zuo Zhi.

"Help me up."

Zuo Zhi bowed his waist and stepped forward to help Xia Yongnian sit up, and padded the back so that Xia Yongnian could sit on the couch.

After asking Zuo Zhi to clear out all the servants, maids, imperial physicians, etc., Xia Yongnian opened his mouth.

"Xuan."

Not long after, an old man with white beard and hair and eyes like a tiger strode in.

This person is the General of the Great Xia Hussars, the commander of the Chinese camp, Xia Delong.

"Your Majesty! Is it your order for Xu Mao and Cheng Lanzhi to retreat? Why did you do this? Do you know that this move may cause our army to be defeated and let Dajin's iron cavalry attack us unscrupulously?" towards?!"

After Xia Delong came in, he cupped his hands casually, then stared at Xia Yongnian and questioned him repeatedly, his expression extremely angry.

Xia Yongnian forced a smile, and said softly: "What did the emperor say, I am thousands of miles away from the battlefield, how can I command the generals participating in the battle?"

Xia Delong gritted his teeth, and his anger became even worse.

"Xu Mao and Cheng Lan are the generals of our Chinese army. Without His Majesty's order, how would they dare to do that? Your Majesty, I want to explain why you did this?!"

Xia Yongnian couldn't help being silent, and he let out a long sigh after a while.

"Uncle Huang, have you ever thought about what kind of chaos my Great Xia will be in if I go and the Crown Prince ascends the throne?"

"The military power of the generals is too heavy, the crown prince and the prime minister will definitely not be able to tolerate it. At that time, if one is not careful, our Great Xia will fall apart!"

"I... time is running out. Before leaving, I must solve this hidden danger."

"For the long-term peace and stability of my Great Xia, there are some things that I have to do!"

Xia Delong frowned, and said with an ugly face: "I am not as far ahead as His Majesty thought, all I know is that this battle cannot be lost!"

"If you do this, what if our army suffers a disastrous defeat from exhaustion?"

Xia Yongnian shook his head and said slowly: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, this scene will not happen. As long as the general dies, this battle should be over."

Xia Delong's eyes widened, startled and angry.

"It turns out that when His Majesty launched this battle, he didn't even think about avenging the third and fourth princes, but just to get rid of the general?!"

Xia Yongnian coughed heavily. Although he didn't cough up any blood, his face turned paler.

"Uncle Emperor, as a king, the country must be the most important thing in everything. For the stable inheritance of my Great Xia, I will not hesitate even if I bear the infamy!"

The muscles on Xia Delong's cheeks twitched violently a few times, and he couldn't even utter a single word out of his stomach full of words.
