Red Heart Survey

Absolutely absolute, absolutely absolute, absolutely absolute, absolutely absolute, absolutely absolute.

With the fall of the seven gates, the first kill in Daxia begins!

It is for Daxia Taihua Daoist Daoist to become enlightened and kill the formation, seven unique and seven killing formations!

On the night of the 3rd day of the first month, the soaring killing formation started in Sheshan, and the terrifying power shook the Huiming Mansion!

The thirteen peaks of the Splendid Huafu in Daxia have lost one peak forever.

Daxia Jiao Taiyin, die in battle!

On the New Year's Eve of the thirty-third year of Shenwu in the Xia calendar, Taiyin defeated Bao Bozhao in Wuyang City and slaughtered 30,000 Qi troops.

On the third day of the first month in the thirty-third year of Shenwu, Tai Yin buried Xie Baoshu and Ouyang Yong in Sheshan. It was a service, and all Xia's troops died. Under the formation of Seven Jue and Seven Kills, Ouyang Yong, Minister of Rong Guoguo, was the first to bear the brunt and died on the spot! Xie Baoshu resisted them with troops, almost all the 30,000 Qi soldiers died, and only 307 survived. There are no bones of the dead, and everyone who is alive is injured! The main general Xie Baoshu fell into a coma.

Of course, even if he doesn't wake up for the rest of his life, he won't be able to escape the accountability after the war...

...

...

The sound of fighting retreated again.

The third time today?

Xi Mengfu sometimes feels in a trance that he still lives in the small boat when he was a child.

Listening to the ups and downs of the tide, in the shaky days, one dream after another is spent.

Those blood and fire, the sound of fighting coming and going from time to time... just like a river tide coming and going.

At this time, no one spoke in the chamber.

The offensive and defensive battle against Yangcheng has been going on for a month and thirteen days.

Even in the face of the successive attacks of the three powerful armies in the world, Chunshi, Qiusha, and Zhufeng, Tongyang City is still as firm as a mountain.

It can be defended forever - if the battlefield is always only in Tongyang City, if Cao Jie has always cherished loss as he is now, if the National Defense Array can continuously provide strength.

If only there could be... so many ifs.

Xi Mengfu sat quietly, he knew that Liu Xiyi had glanced at him just now, probably hoping that he would express his opinion, but he did not respond.

The main forces of Xia Qi and Qi were stalemate in Tongyang City, maintaining a fragile balance. This is also the reason why Liu Xiyi wanted to return to Daye Mansion alone in anger, but was firmly held down by King Wu. Because the withdrawal of a real person in the world will inevitably break this balance. The consequences... unimaginable.

The war on the northern front is handed over to the northern front, and the war on the eastern front is handed over to the eastern front. The battlefield for these people is in the same center - this is the policy they have adhered to so far.

Using the vast land of Great Xia in exchange for more time for fierce battles, dragging Qi into the quagmire of protracted wars, and dragging down this emerging hegemony—this is the grand strategy formulated by Xia Fang's senior management.

Such a war is not exciting, but it is already the most likely strategy to meet the final victory.

Regarding this war, these high-ranking officials and well-paid people, the smartest group of people in the entire Xia Kingdom, have already deduced it countless times... There really is no other possibility of victory.

But just as Jianfeng Mountain fell too early, and the National Defense Formation was forced out too early, the battle between the northern and eastern fronts has eroded too quickly...

At this moment, the huge scale weighing the week is laying flat in the center of the hall.

This square, sand table-like magic weapon reflects the details of the entire national defense formation.

Those floating lights hanging on the balance disk represent the nodes of the large formations covering the entire Xia Kingdom. Every city that stands on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers is part of the Great Array of Protecting the Nation.

When it first started to light up, the floating light on the balance disk was as bright as a sea of ​​stars.

Later, with the fall of Fengjie, Linwu, Youping, and Fengli... the light spots dimmed one by one.

Today, all the floating lights of the cities representing Wuxing Mansion have been extinguished.

The big group of light spots in Huiming Mansion has also dimmed to very few.

Wu Xing is over, Hui Ming is almost over...

"It's time." Prime Minister Liu Xiyi couldn't help standing up and said.

Xi Meng Mansion raised his eyes to look at the upper position, where King Wu Sijiao was sitting there quietly.

After allowing the silence to last for a while, he said, "Wait a little longer."

So all the civil and military personnel in the hall had to wait.

What are you waiting for?

Naturally, it was waiting for the results of the first round of counterattacks.

Naturally, I want to see if the hatred and power accumulated for so many days can tear a bloody mouth on Qi Jun's huge body, and can make Qi Jun change first...

The Ximeng Mansion didn't want to admit it very much, but had to face the fact that Cao Jie's current war strategy was almost unsolvable.

Otherwise, why were so many of them locked up in Tongyang City, unable to organize a decent counterattack?

Don't be afraid that the Qi army's momentum is like a rainbow, don't be afraid that the Qi army's heart is higher than the sky, don't be afraid that each of the Qi generals will make great achievements, just be afraid that they will fight steadily like they are now, and will not give the slightest chance.

Of course, although Liu Xiyi has a bad temper, he is not the most restless and eager person. He just uses his temper time and time again to vent the uneasiness of the Tongyang City defenders... and this is by no means a permanent solution.

It is clear that Xia State is the party that insists on prolonging the war, and it is clear that Qi State should make a quick decision to avoid interference from other hegemony powers.

This is something anyone with a little understanding of the world situation can analyze.

But Cao Jie played so steadily that he didn't feel anxious at all. What's even more frightening is——Jiang Shu openly declared that he was willing to support Cao Jie to fight for ten years!

Such words do not mean that Qi State will really fight for ten years. Instead, Jiang Shu was saying that even if the Jingmu War ended early, even if Jing Guo intervened, he would definitely wipe out Xia Guosheji!

That sentence expresses such determination.

Who can doubt the determination of Jiang Shu, an overlord emperor who vowed to establish Qi's unprecedented great achievements?

Xia Guo's only chance of victory lies in the protracted war, but the war has progressed until now, but Qi Guo took the initiative to drag the war into a slow pace!

Who is the one who can't wait any longer?

It can be said that Daxia is full of ministers, and it can be said that one counts as one, and they all pin their hopes of retreating on the moment Jing Guo withdraws. Especially after the Great Formation of Protecting the Nation was launched so quickly, and after deeply realizing the gap between Qi Xia...

Needless to say, including him, Ximeng Mansion is also counting on the same. Because there are no other opportunities at all.

And Jiang Shu told them plainly, don't think about it.

Of course, Jiang Shu's words can be understood as a bluff, just like their slogan for fighting is also to defeat Linzi.

But Chongxuan Chuliang's obedience to Cao Jie is a fact, Jiang Mengxiong's approval of Cao Jie is a fact, and Jiang Shu's almost unreserved support for Cao Jie is even more a fact!

Xi Mengfu is not a person who is afraid of opponents, but facing such a Qi army, such a state of Qi, he does feel powerless again and again!

The hearts of the people in Tongyang City are becoming more and more panicked day by day.

The round of counterattack he personally arranged had to be advanced. Because if you endure it any longer, it may not be necessary to activate it...

At this moment, Ximeng Mansion, who was sitting upright, suddenly thought of King Min.

King Min did not participate in the discussion today, and was still on the tower at this time. It is said that it is patrolling the city defense, and it is said that it is all up to King Wu.

When he thought of King Min, it wasn't that he had any reliance on King Min's military strategy, but just remembered a poem that had been heard in his ears in the past few days——

"The eldest son and the second son died on the battlefield,

Grandson fifteen bears a spear.

Where is Brother Alang now?

Paper kites are flying away from home.

The Queen of Heaven doesn't know human affairs.

Qingluan has a letter to King Min! "

I don't know who wrote it, but it's a poem that can be punished!

He didn't believe what was written in the poem, or that those things were not important.

He was just worried about what kind of impact this poem would have after it spread...

This poem can spread so quickly, which reflects the strength of Qi people's intelligence.

Being able to write such a targeted poem shows that Qi people understand Xia Ting well.

In the previous public opinion war, the Qi State had been just playing tricks, and even Qi Tianzi was forced to come out to express his opinion in person due to the uproar of public opinion.

Ximeng Mansion has always felt that at least in this battlefield, Xia Jun has the upper hand.

They just didn't expect that Qi people's counterattack would be so swift and fierce.

The charge of the poem is too severe—

First, speaking in the tone of an old man, his eldest son and second son were killed in battle, and his fifteen-year-old grandson was also drafted into battle.

Then turn to the perspective of a few women staying at home, saying that those who look forward to their husbands and brothers cannot expect them all. Being away from home for so long is like a kite with a broken string, not even a letter from home has been sent back.

In the end, he got angry, saying that the empress dowager, who is so high above, doesn't know the sufferings of the people at all. At this time, she actually had a private meeting with King Min in Qingluan Palace!

Did the Queen Mother meet King Min in Qingluan Hall?

Of course there are.

The Qingluan Hall was originally the place where the Queen Mother handled government affairs, and going to the Qingluan Hall was similar to going to court.

Is it personal opinion?

After the Jianfeng Mountain battle, there was indeed one time when no other ministers were present.

But if it is said that there is something between the Queen Mother and King Min because of this, the Ximeng Mansion will never believe it.

However, what he understands better is that this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly.

But people are keen to spread such a topic. If it is spread for a long time and too much, it will really shake the morale of the army.

King Min went to patrol the city today to avoid suspicion, and all the power was handed over to King Wu.

As the party involved in the rumors, it is difficult for the queen mother to come forward to deal with the matter.

And the Son of Heaven...

Ximeng Mansion is not afraid to admit that today's Emperor Xia is far inferior to the previous emperor. In this case, will something happen?

He worries about it.

He glanced at King Wu who stopped talking, and slowly calmed down.

To defeat the Qi army, it is not a matter of one person and one family, it needs the efforts of all Xia people. He can only do everything he can do well, and then meet the result with a clear conscience.

...

...

Boom!

The vase of Yufu porcelain was smashed to pieces.

The Emperor Xia, who is now in his forties, is smashing up and down in the palace.

"What a shame!"

"What a shame!"

He was wearing a dragon robe, and his long hair was in a mess. He had smashed everything he saw, and he had been smashing it for half an hour.

All the eunuchs and maids hid outside, trembling.

His face had already turned purple, and the majesty that he usually exerted was all burned into anger at this moment.

Snapped! boom!

He dropped the gold cup again and overturned the jade case.

He couldn't help roaring: "There are millions of powerful troops in the sky, the princes in the court are full in the air, and the country is in charge of thousands of miles. How dare I let the widow suffer this humiliation!"

"Enough." A voice suddenly sounded in the bedroom.

"You dare to talk to me like that, who gave you the guts! I'm going to kill you—" Emperor Xia's chest rose and fell like a bellows, his fire-breathing eyes turned back, and he saw King Wu Si Jiao.

He thought it was the eunuchs that the empress dowagers put in his place, because the voice really didn't have any strength.

After turning around, they found that it was Wu Wang Sijiao who came in person with his dharma body.

"Uncle Huang!" He suppressed his anger: "Why are you here?"

"That's right, this king is sitting on the front line, so he can't be moved lightly. Even if he only surrenders his dharma body, there is still a risk of being seen as a Daoist." Si Jiao stopped at this point, and then looked at him: "If this king doesn't come , what do you plan to do? To demolish this palace? Or simply demolish Guiyi City?"

"Uncle Emperor!" Emperor Xia shouted again in an angry and humiliating tone, before saying, "They insulted me too much!"

"They?" Si Jiao asked calmly, "Who are they?"

"Who else!" Emperor Xia was furious, but forced himself to suppress it, and said bitterly: "It's spread outside!"

"Do you believe it?"

"I don't want to believe it!" Xia Huang stretched out his finger to the direction outside the palace, his hand with bulging veins was trembling, and his voice was also trembling: "But they——but they did meet privately in Qingluan Palace. There are no outsiders!"

It's really pitiful for the majestic lord of a country to be so angry.

but--

Snapped!

What responded to him was a slap from Si Jiao.

If the court ladies and eunuchs present were struck by lightning, they wished to goug out their own eyes on the spot.

This slap is so heavy.

Xia Zi rolled more than ten laps in the air until he hit the gold-plated dragon pillar in the bedroom before falling down.

At the same time, the entire Great Xia Palace was shaken, and the brilliance of the National Defense Array also fluctuated for a moment.

The emperor was humiliated and the country was shaken!

Xia Zi covered his face, his eyes filled with disbelief, startled and angry.

Although he has been the emperor without power for thirty-three years, he still enjoys the majesty of Daxia Zhengshuo and has never been treated rudely.

This slap was the first time he tasted it in his forty-two years of life!

Looking at his frightened eyes and the panic and fear hidden in his eyes, Si Jiao couldn't help but sighed inwardly.

What kind of person was the first emperor, how could he have such a son?

If those princes and princesses were here... none of them would be like this!

Thinking of the late emperor, his tone softened a little: "Yu Liyang is a national pillar, what do you mean by a national pillar?"

Xia Zi slowly got up from the ground, gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Si Jiao looked at him: "Guozhu means that this country is supported by him, not by you. Do you understand?"

Xia Zi took a few deep breaths, and said in a bitter voice: "I know his importance, and I have always respected him. He is rich and rich, but what is missing? I will give everything I can give, and I will give what I can't give." The widow only hates that the dragon chair can't be divided into half for him! But he absolutely shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't—"

"Don't say that there is nothing between King Min and the Queen Mother, even if there is, you have to learn to turn a blind eye!" Si Jiao interrupted him sharply: "Don't say that King Min wants to have something with your Queen Mother, even if there is something, you have to learn to turn a blind eye!" If you want to have something with you, you have to stick up your ass! Can you understand what this king said, you idiot?!"

These words are like thunder.

The disheveled Xia Zi staggered, nearly fell, and managed to stand still.

Looking at King Wu again, his expression was already miserable.

"The emperor's uncle."

With tears in his eyes, he asked: "In ancient times, the emperor, is there anyone who is humiliated like me?"

Sorry for the lateness. There may be typos or something, if you see it, circle it, and I will change it later.
