In the Lengmo River, snow and ice cubes were mixed with the rushing river water, floating and sinking, rubbing and colliding with each other, making a huge roar. The camps of the Xifan Central Army and the Hou Army gathered here, and the small and dense felt tents surrounded one or two large hulus.

"What, both attacks against Checheng failed..." Cai Bang Mangcuo was shocked when he heard the report from the front line.

It was the first time he was in charge of such a large-scale war. Cai Bang Mangcuo didn't understand why Dafan had such an advantageous military force, but he couldn't defeat Gao Yue's Checheng. He turned his doubtful eyes to Shang Qixin'er.

This host theory also had a pale face. He explained a lot to the internal theory: For example, our troops were limited by the passage between Pengpo Mountain and Bodi Ridge. Although there were more than 100,000 troops, they could not be deployed. There were often only a few Dongdai attacks on the front line, while the Tang army gathered in the car city and cannon barriers, consumed us with cannon guns, and then defeated our offensive again and again.

"I don't know what Victoria's situation is. If Wei Yasha can join a new force to come here, we will have to retreat..." After explaining the inward theory, Shang Qixin'er was dejected. It was obvious that he was pessimistic about the future of the war.

At that time, Cai Bang Mangcuo was stunned. He clenched his fists and coughed a little. The tip of his nose was oozing red in the snow. He looked at the vast Lengmo River, and then looked west. It was covered with flat grass, and the distance between the mountains was quite far away. The valley was wide and long: "If the Tang army seized Pingrong City and Dafan was defeated, it would not be able to be protected here!" He pointed to the other end of the Lengmo River in horror, and said to Shang Qixin'er. Then he waved his hand and pointed to Pingrong Old City on the high cliff. "That Worry-free City is isolated in Victoria and cannot be protected."

This fashionable Qi Xiner suddenly said: "This battle cannot be won. We should have listened to this theory's advice and discarded all Wei, Cheng, Qin, Hui, Lan and others from Longyou to the Tang family. We can even ask the Tang family for peace and cede land to delay it, and take the opportunity to move most of the people to Hehuang, namely Shan and Min, and stick to the critical points of the mountain."

"What should be the sweet and cold things in Hexi?"

"The Ganliang area is now the territory of Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying. Now they are our enemies, not the Tang family!" The fashionable Qi Xiner's face became ferocious, and he said to Cai Bang Mangcuo, "If you ask for peace from the Tang family, it is not difficult for Dafan to keep the logic, Xiangxiong, Dabolu and Qinghai, and Anxi Beiting and Hexi Longyou. Since Dafan seized these areas from the Tang family in the civil strife, he only brought endless wars and heavy burdens. You might as well give them back to the Tang family."

Speaking of this, Shang Qixiner raised a stone and placed it heavily on the copper map, making a crisp sound, "Most of the prefectures and counties in Longyou cannot be preserved. The best result is to leave Hezhou, Shanzhou and Minzhou." After speaking, Shang Qixiner put another stone on it, "As for Hexi where Gan Liang is located, we might as well abandon it to the Tang family and use the Tang family's hand to annihilate Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying, and the little prince Moudi - in this way, the Cai Bang family can dominate the entire snowfield and become the most powerful force."

Cai Bang Mangcuo's breathing became rapid. Although he always stood on the same front as his sister and Shang Qixin'er in political stance, he did not expect that if he wanted to achieve the dominance of the Cai Bang family, he had to rely on the humiliation of defeat and begging for peace!

But Shang Qi Xin'er was shameless. He whispered to Cai Bang. Mangcuo continued that this war was insisted on going on in the general assembly. If it was not good, Zanpu's prestige was the first to be brunt. In addition, I can firmly grasp part of the military power of the host, and you have many followers in the palace. Now, Geruben and the imperial guards who are loyal to Zanpu will suffer huge damage in this battle, which will inevitably weaken Zanpu's reliance on power and increase Geruben and Dongdai's hatred and dissatisfaction with him...

While the Western-French soldiers on the front line fought bloody battles, the shameful conspiracy at Lenmochuan was nurtured in the shadows.

Finally, the great internal discussion Cai Bang and the monk Mangcuo Qi Xiner called Sima Guan Nopengsong appointed by Zanpu, saying that the Denor Bo suffered a huge sacrifice when attacking Checheng. You drew out all the imperial guards and escorted eight kilograms (one gram and twenty-eight kilograms) of barley noodles and some barley wine to the front line for support. We are here to prepare for the final decisive battle.

Anyway, the plan reached by these two people in private is: I will wait and see here for the time being. If the situation is favorable in the future, we will take advantage of the situation to attack and earn merits; if the situation is unfavorable, we will retreat to the plateau, Cai Bang will go to a logical path, and Shang Qixin'er quickly goes to control Shanzhou or even Qinghai.

As for the 24 Dongtai camp and cavalry of Liuruben collected by Zanpu's large materials, as well as the imperial guards in the southeast, west and north, they were handed over to Lundebo and Lunnopengsong, and they had no intention of asking about it.

At this moment, Lun Mangre, who was a little straightforward, really led 5,000 cavalrymen from Wuyou City to cross from the bridge on the Tuo River. Xiaofeng Tang army camps kept shooting muskets or arrows from the side, and there were also cavalry attacking them. However, Lun Mangre's determination was very firm: "Go to Pingrong!"

In front of Gao Yue's Checheng, the bodies of the foreign soldiers were hung in the carriages and deer antlers, or lying on both sides of the trench, and were thrown into the ditch that had been burned. As a result, the trench in front of the Checheng was quickly filled, and the remaining bodies could only be pulled by mules, horses or cattle, and piled up in the north and south fields of Checheng. The weather was cold and there were two or three consecutive snowfalls. The bodies were only frozen and stiff and purple, and their bodies and faces were covered with frost and could not distinguish their appearance. They were stacked layer by layer, and their hands and feet were misplaced, like many terrifying hills.

As for the soldiers who died in battle on this side, they have been buried in the coffin behind Checheng. Gao Yue does the best work in this regard every time he goes to war.

When Mr. Ji appeared in a temporary camp beside the city city wearing a purple shirt, an outer fur coat, and riding a big snow, he got off his horse with tears in his eyes, stood in the snow, bowed deeply to the Qiangman chiefs such as Dong Woting, Gao Wantang and other Qiangman chiefs, and his voice was choked:

"It was not that Yue was not helping him when he was dead, but if he opened the city gate and led the foreign army into the city, the entire formation would be defeated thousands of miles. What is the military law? Even if Yue survived, what would he have to face the court and the emperor? Yue would like to fight the death of Xifan in the future. This time, he used our military to set up the military and Yining as the pioneer. I hope you will follow up bravely. He promised everything before and would never break his promise."

This is a group of chiefs who say this, and it is even more difficult to push or block anything.

Because after Gao Yue finished speaking this, he took out half of all the military funds and wealth in the camp and distributed them to the soldiers who had fought, and once again gave them drums (chicken) and blood.
