"I was nine years old and I was ignorant."

Such sounds rang out in Baohua Palace.

The voice fell from Danbi, with a feeling of overlooking all living beings.

"I am forty-two years old this year, and I am still ignorant."

Sitting on that lonely and noble dragon chair is the current Emperor Xia.

His voice dropped, a little suppressed, but also a little majestic——

"My son is now an adult!"

The gorgeous and majestic Baohua Palace is empty today.

There is no courtier.

His voice became more lonely and more majestic.

From the perspective of Xia Emperor Si Cheng, looking straight ahead, past the Danbi, jade pillars, and corridors, at the end of the palace, under the tall palace gate, there is a noble figure standing in the light.

The light was too harsh, making it difficult to see the person's face clearly.

It's like after so many years, this person and this face have become a symbol.

He couldn't see clearly and couldn't remember it for a long time!

Xia Zi's voice echoed for a long time.

The man standing in the light said: "The national teacher is so loyal that he cut his liver to serve the country and dedicated his life to national affairs! If you were sensible, why would you treat him like this?"

She walked towards the palace...

The sound of footsteps makes the palace feel lonely.

What a lonely palace!

Emperor Xia sat in his seat, looking at Queen Mother Xia, who was coming in her best clothes, and at his mother.

It seemed that he had never seen the actual ruler of the Great Xia Empire for the past thirty-three years from this perspective.

He is the son of Daxia, but this is the first time he has looked down upon this person.

"Oh?" His voice was indifferent: "Since he is determined to die, he doesn't care how he dies. He dares to put me in danger, so what if he gets a little more notoriety?"

Queen Mother Xia took a step and stopped. She was in front of His Highness and looked up at His Majesty Dan. She couldn't believe that this was the trembling little boy who had been hiding behind her.

After all, he is the late emperor's heir.

No matter how incompetent or mediocre you are, you cannot be totally devoid of ambition.

It's a pity that in the past thirty-three years, she has devoted all her energy and energy to state affairs, rebuilding the Xia Kingdom, which was almost reduced to ashes, and rebuilding these thousands of splendid mountains and rivers... but she has neglected how to teach a child and an emperor.

After all, she is not the late emperor. She is not capable of cultivating virtues internally and martial arts externally. She is able to do both with ease. She can often bring the princes and princesses to her side to teach her, and even cares about the funerals and marriages of every minister...

Today, the Xia State can fight to the death with the Qi State, and so many civil servants and military generals can die generously, all of which are the legacy of the late emperor.

The late emperor...

"Even the late emperor did not activate the Changluo Jue Formation back then." Empress Dowager Xia said: "How dare you..."

"Mother!" Emperor Xia interrupted her: "This year is the 33rd year of Shenwu!"

He didn't say anything else.

But what else needs to be said?

What words are more cruel than this?

Queen Mother Xia had so much to say, but at this moment, she couldn't say anything.

She stood calmly in the hall, with a pair of calm eyes under her phoenix crown.

She only said: "The late emperor died generously and still had thirty-three years left to rule the country. Let's see how long the current emperor can live for the country by doing such a great thing."

At both ends of the palace.

She stood and the emperor sat.

It's mother and son.

They are kings and ministers.

The skylight outside Baohua Palace refused to fall into the palace gate.

…

…

Tianguang is not stingy with everything in the world, unless you deliberately resist.

Guiyi City can be bright, and the same is true for Jiangyin Plain.

The majestic Tongyang City is bathed in the brilliant skylight, giving it an epic sense of magnificence. And above this city, the densely packed Qi State Thorn Boats are equally clear and clear!

The thorn spears falling like a shower flowed in the sunlight and covered most of the sky.

The urgent military situation was also reported at this moment——

Ren Qiuli, the master of Tianji in Nandou Hall, hid God's will and hidden motives, and suddenly took action, severely injuring Chen Fu, the marshal of Daqi's 300,000 county soldiers!

However, Tian Anping turned the tide and proved the truth among thousands of troops. At the cost of 90,000 soldiers killed in the battle, Ren Qiuli was forced to retire.

These two pieces of news on the northern battlefield spread almost at the same time, shocking both Qi and Xia!

Of course, Cao Ji can receive more detailed information——

Tian Anping's victory can be said to have been achieved with the corpses of his soldiers.

It is said that on the battlefield, he personally holds the magic sword. If anyone dares to retreat, he will be killed! If anyone hesitates and does not advance, kill him! If anyone advances without haste, kill him!

As the marshal of the left side of the Eastern Front, he personally commanded the 100,000 soldiers of Qi State. This time, 90,000 of them were killed in the battle, of which he himself killed 8,000!

He forcibly used the lives of 90,000 county soldiers to defeat the will of the Xia army and massacred the real person of the Chu clan in Daxia, Chu Gongyi.

After this battle, more than 2,000 of the 10,000 county soldiers who were still alive became insane, and more than 1,000 chose to commit suicide.

And his biological brother Tian Antai also went crazy during this war!

However, Cao Jie did not make any comment on this. Instead, he put the battle report aside and looked into the distance——

Decisive victory has been achieved on the Eastern Front battlefield.

On the northern battlefield, Duke Zhou Ying of Fengguo and Marquis Fan Ao of Xuanping were all killed in the battle. Xie Huai'an, the commander-in-chief of the allied forces of the Eastern Regions, had already sent his troops to the west, aiming directly at Guiyi.

At this moment, he was standing on the tall Rongchong Tower Car, looking at the seemingly indestructible Tongyang City.

Between him and Tongyang City, the mighty Da Qi soldiers surged like a sea tide, filling all the empty spaces in sight.

The terrifying whistling sound that kept ringing out was caused by the moon-shooting crossbow being fired one after another.

chariot

There will not be an inch of peaceful soil in Jiangyin Plain today.

Autumn killing, chasing the wind, spring dying, all three armies come out together, the final decisive battle... has begun!

Chongxuan Chu Liang, Li Zhengyan, and Chen Zeqing all personally led the army and continuously attacked the city defense.

There is a kind of colorful color in the sky of the entire Jiangyin Plain, which is the dao mark left by several Yandao Zhenjun.

Ruan Yuan and Si Jiao, Yan Ping and Yu Liyang...the four powerful Taoists have not officially started fighting, but the Tao principles have already begun to collide!

Dong Dong Dong! Dong Dong Dong!

The huge war drums beat over and over again, as if responding to the unwilling shouts of the Qi people under the city of Guiyi thirty-three years ago.

The Ziwei Zhongtian Taihuang Flag flutters proudly, boldly showing the majesty of the overlord of the Eastern Region.

This war that has attracted worldwide attention is resolutely heading towards the end and towards the final victory.

But Cao Jie's eyes were still calm.

His face, which has been described as the grimace of a little daughter-in-law, possesses a great sense of perseverance.

This allowed him to withstand all pressure and unswervingly implement his strategy, thereby advancing the war against Xia step by step to the current stage.

These pressures...

It is not only the tenacity of Xia State, not only the strong intimidation of Jing State, not only the urging and dissatisfaction voices within Qi State, but also not only the life and death of millions of troops, but also the success or failure of Qi State's great cause of conquering Xia!

There was also his own anxiety that was impossible to avoid from the moment the war started!

His entire political life and his entire reputation were devoted to this war.

He wants to win happily and wonderfully more than anyone else.

But in many cases, you can only choose a kind of clumsiness that is not understood by others! Or even ugly! Just for the final victory.

Now he stands here with his head held high and his spine straight.

He felt a rare emotion of pride.

He is not proud of the fact that he controlled the outcome of a war between great powers, but proud of himself for being able to have such perseverance and such courage.
To be continued...
