Stir up a pool of spring water

In the end, the vassal king who remained neutral still chose to hand over his troops to Xuanyuan Qi.Perhaps in his view, it is always absurd for a woman to be in power, and only Xuanyuan Qi is the real Ninth Five Lord, if he really wants to choose a side, he can only choose Xuanyuan Qi's side.

So Xuanyuan Qi got the support of two vassal kings, and Han Jinli only had one.

But she was not afraid, because they had already borrowed 30 troops from Qingfeng Country and Luo Lan Country, and the weapons torches they had produced in time were powerful and highly efficient, and they had a great chance of winning this battle.

In the eighth year of Chengqi, the national war of Xuanyuan Kingdom officially began.

The forces of Han Jinli and Xuanyuan Qi competed in the north and the south, and the two sides fought each other. It was the first time that Hellfire was used in a military battle on a large scale.

Until Han Jinli came out with a highly efficient surprise attack force, the battle between the two sides began to reverse slowly.

This troop appeared mysteriously and was small in number, but every time it was dispatched, it could quickly cut through the breakthrough of the enemy camp, and the rest of the brigade attacked from the breakthrough in one fell swoop, ending the battle with unprecedented efficiency.

Originally, Xuanyuan Qi and Han Jinli each guarded [-] provinces, but as the battle intensified, Xuanyuan Qi retreated step by step, losing six important provinces in just two months, so they could only retreat to the north and give up. Central Plains area.

In the palace, Xuanyuan Qi roared furiously on the Golden Luan Hall, "I gave you millions of troops, enough food and grass, and enough fire~powder, but you actually retreated in a row, and you gave me such a victory!"

One of the generals said: "Your Majesty, our soldiers suffered heavy casualties. There are two reasons. First, the attribute of hellfire is too unstable. We have seen several times that hellfire directly exploded in our own barracks. Second, the opponent's near In two months, a strange weapon suddenly appeared, which is astonishingly powerful. Although our hellfire is powerful, it is inconvenient to operate and difficult to counter."

"How about General Qin?" Xuanyuan Qi asked in a cold voice, "If you can't beat him, why don't you just surrender?"

The general did not dare to make a sound, and everyone in the court hall fell silent.

After a long time, Xuanyuan Qi shouted loudly: "Whoever has a good way to defeat the enemy, if he can use it, I will reward him greatly!"

Still no one dared to speak. After a long time, an official who had a good relationship with Han Jinli said: "Your Majesty, it may not be a bad thing to shake hands and make peace at this time. Since the Holy Master took office, he has made great achievements and is loyal. He has no intention of rebellion." Heart, why have you come to this step today."

Xuanyuan Qi was furious, "Don't you have the heart to rebel? Then who is rebelling now and taking down my six cities one after another?"

The official dared not say any more.

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of War said: "Your Majesty, the hellfire was donated by Longxi, and in the past two months, she has developed a new weapon called the fire canister. If we can obtain the production blueprint of this weapon, let the craftsmen seize the time to mass-produce it, or the situation can be saved."

"Oh? How to get it?" Another official said: "Long Xi is their treasure, and she must be under strict protection in the barracks now. Who can get close to her?"

As soon as these words came out, there was another silence.

Among other things, even if Long Xi doesn't know how to make weapons, she is also Han Jinli's wife. At this special moment, she will definitely not run around in the army.If they want to get the blueprint, they have to control Long Xi, but this is much more difficult than taking down a city.

At this time, another general said: "In the previous battle, our army did not have nothing to gain. At least a few of these torches were confiscated, but the internal structure is complicated. Although we have found a few skilled craftsmen to understand it overnight , but so far no one has been able to understand the production principle. It may take some time to fully understand the structure inside."

"Time, what I lack the most is time!" Xuanyuan Qi looked around, "If someone can directly take off the head of Han Jinli or Longxi, I will directly designate him as the great general of Dingguo, and future generations can extend his life." knighthood."

The temptation is indeed very great, but no one dares to accept it.

Now they are in a weak position, Han Jinli is in command, and their martial arts are superb, it is not easy to take her head.

As for Long Xi, he was guarded by millions of soldiers in the rear, and it was difficult to break through.

Even when they arrested the members of the Hong Tian gang to be dangerous, Han Jinli did not see any action, so it can be seen that this time he is really determined to fight them to the death.

The court meeting lasted until noon, and there was no reason to discuss it.

The officials dispersed, and Xuanyuan Qi sat alone on the empty dragon chair.

After a long time, he murmured to himself: "Zhen... did I make a mistake in this move?"

If he hadn't broken with Han Jinli, he would still be a high-ranking emperor, and he wouldn't have to worry about external and internal troubles like he is now, let alone worry that he would become the king of subjugation in the next moment.

But if he could choose again, he probably would still come to this point.

How can you allow other people to snore and sleep on the side of the couch, he is a majestic son of heaven, born according to the destiny, so he can tolerate Han Jinli threatening his status!

It is too late to retreat now, there is no retreat at all.

That being the case, let's fight to the death!

Xuanyuan Qi's cold eyes revealed a mad killing intent.

On the other side, Han Jinli is in the army.

Several generals sent good news, Han Jinli listened to them one by one, and analyzed the details of the next action with them.

Long Xi listened quietly and did not make any comments.But because both the hellfire and the torch were proposed by her, all the generals respected her and did not dare to underestimate her.

After the discussion is over and everyone has dispersed.

Long Xi asked Han Jinli: "Husband, are you really going to come to this point? We have to destroy Xuanyuan Qi's power before we stop?"

"Depends on the situation." Han Jinli was actually having a headache. Although they had the upper hand, they didn't have much food and grass. If they fell into a tug-of-war, I'm afraid the situation would be reversed again.

Long Xi hurriedly and considerately stepped forward to help her gently press the acupuncture points on her head to relieve her a little bit.

Han Jinli was overjoyed, pulled him over to sit on her lap, couldn't help kissing her, and sighed: "I, Han Jinli, have such a good lady."

Long Xi giggled, and put his arms around her neck, "That's natural, I'm unique in heaven and earth."

Han Jin nodded disapprovingly.

The two said funny things, but in fact, both of them were not relaxed.

But I can also understand that when fighting, every moment is life and death, who can relax.

Another month later, the troops on both sides suffered heavy losses.

Xuanyuan Qi acted like he was insane, he used the strategy of injuring the enemy one thousand and self-injury eight hundred, and even saved a little bit of defeat in a short while.

On Han Jinli's side, food and grass are gradually running out, if the tug-of-war continues, it may be difficult to continue.

"Quick battle and quick decision." Han Jinli said to the generals under his command: "Use a lot of hellfire and torches, and we must completely defeat them within a month."

"Yes." The generals took orders.

During this period of time, the front line was fighting, and the production of weapons on the back line did not fall. So far, their number of fire canisters has exceeded [-].As for the number of hellfires, there are even more. If they are really released all at once, their own power will be greatly strengthened, and it is not impossible to end the battle in a month.

Sure enough, after the new batch of weapons were put into use, Han Jinli's army once again drove Xuanyuan Qi's army back step by step with a big victory. In the end, there was only one city left, which was guarded near Chang'an City, and the rest of the city's forces were exhausted. It was annexed by Han Jinli, and also received a large amount of food and grass in the annexed city, with a strong reserve force.

At this point, the battle situation between the two sides has been decided, no matter how hard Xuanyuan Qi struggles, it will be futile.

In Zichen Palace, he paced back and forth in the study like a trapped beast.

At this time, the empress dowager came over.

"Your Majesty." She called softly: "The matter has come to this point, I know there is no room for redemption. Why don't we just hand over the surrender form to Jin Li, that child is kind, and he shouldn't be exterminated."

"No! I'd rather die than surrender." Xuanyuan Qi's eyes were red, and he roared: "I am the real son of heaven, Han Jinli is just a son of heaven with a bad name, why should I surrender to her! If If it wasn't for marrying Long Xi, with the blessing of new weapons, she would have nothing to fear!"

The queen mother sighed, although she lives in the harem, she usually does not care about the government.But I also know that the victory or defeat of a battle involves many aspects, not only weapons, but also combat plans, people's belonging and so on.

Han Jinli has all of these, she has the right time, place and people, and she is the real destiny.

Although she is a woman, her talents are not inferior to men's at all, and even better.

In fact, she could vaguely see before that when Han Jinli served as the Holy Master of their Xuanyuan Kingdom, he was actually hiding his clumsiness and didn't want to show his edge too much.In that position, she can still think of restraining herself, just because she doesn't want to compete with Xuanyuan Qi.

How could a person with this kind of mind raise an army and rebel?If he hadn't been pushed into a hurry, maybe the world wouldn't be in chaos because of it.

But the Queen Mother knew that Xuanyuan Qi would not listen to these words now.

Forget it, anyway, she has lived to this age, so she will die anyway, nothing to be afraid of.

It's just that her grandchildren are suffering, and they will die with this war at a young age.

Another month later, Xuanyuan Qi had no power to fight back.

Han Jinli led an army of one million soldiers to the city and directly surrounded Chang'an.

On the high city wall, Xuanyuan Qi stood at the top of the city, looking at the dark and gloomy area below, his expression was numb, exuding a strange calm.

Han Jinli was outside the city, riding a tall horse, using his internal strength and said to Xuanyuan Qi: "Brother, don't make any more fearless struggles, just surrender."

Xuanyuan Qi looked at her without saying a word.

Han Jinli: "You are not benevolent, but I cannot be unrighteous. I still remember that when we were young, you and I played and played in the mountain behind Yunlu Palace. Later, when I got tired of playing, it was you who carried me down the mountain. We didn't What kind of deep hatred, why did you come to this point? I promise you, if you surrender at this time, I will return ten cities. From now on, we will be divided into two countries and will not interfere with each other. I will no longer take the initiative to send troops to invade your Xuanyuan country. "

This condition can be said to be extremely favorable. When forced to have only one capital city left, ten cities can be returned, which has never happened in any war between the two countries.

On the city wall, Xuanyuan Qi finally spoke.

"Junior Sister, we have all grown up. The world of adults is different from that of children. There are many things that cannot be given up."

As he said that, he jumped directly onto the protective wall of the city tower, glanced at the millions of soldiers below, and finally said: "I lost, I hope you will treat the common people in this world kindly."

After speaking, he jumped directly from the high tower.

Han Jinli closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Wan Lai was silent, Xuanyuan Kingdom was completely overwhelmed by this sudden incident.On Han Jinli's side, no one would dare to act without her order.

After a long time, Han Jinli said loudly: "The generals in the city, disarm and do not kill, and reorganize into our army. The emperor Xuanyuan Qi will be buried with the rites of a monarch!"
