"The general is becoming more and more literary. I admire him." While Qin Shan pondered, Shang Yi flattered him violently.

Guo Yong and Mu An looked at each other and glanced at their mouths.

Qin Shan shook his head. Shang Yi can fight and flatter, and he is a living treasure.

But most importantly, he still likes his abilities.

He just took his flattery for him as a warning.

But this time, Shang Yi's flattery was wrong.

The sentence he said was not what he created, but a casual sentence that King Yan said while giving lectures in the military school.

The other generals passed by after hearing this, and he took a careful note.

Since there were still some Jiaozhi soldiers hidden in the city, sporadic battles continued until the evening.

As night fell, Zhiling County became quiet.

At this time, Qin Shan summoned Guo Yong and the other two again to assign tasks to them.

Not long after, Monk Mu Anyi arrived at the government office, but Guo Tu had not arrived for a long time.

When the three of them were just surprised, they suddenly came to the room with the help of soldiers. It was Guo Yong.

"What's going on?" Qin Shan looked.

I saw Guo Yong's legs covered with white cloth, and red blood was oozing out of the white cloth.

The soldier who supported Guo Yong said annoyedly: "We did not protect the general. The Jiaozhi people are too despicable. They asked some women to pretend to be pitiful in front of us, but as long as we turned around and exposed our backs, they attacked us. Now they even use the children."

"It's because I was careless." Guo Yong was a little depressed.

When facing the Jiaozhi soldiers, he showed no mercy.

But when facing the people of Jiaozhi, especially women and children, he couldn't help feeling compassion.

But the Jiaozhi people took advantage of the compassion of the soldiers and attacked them while they were clearing out the remaining Jiaozhi soldiers.

During the day, many soldiers suffered losses.

Originally, he was a little wary, but he didn't expect that when he came here, he met a thin child.

He didn't take it seriously and continued on his way.

Exposing his back, the child took out a dagger and stabbed him in the leg.

From this point, we can also see how much hatred the Jiaozhi people had against Dasong under the rule of the Ruan Dynasty.

"Then you really took it yourself!" Qin Shan not only did not comfort Guo Yong, but instead reprimanded him.

After pausing, he said, "The people of Jiaozhi are not praising the people, but are just being bewitched by the powerful clans. Treating them well can make them lose their way."

"How can the people of Jiaozhi be treated like enemies by fearing power but not being virtuous? According to His Highness's idea, only after occupying Jiaozhi, the same book and the same track, and the same education will be carried out. Only after three generations have Jiaozhi been adopted can Jiaozhi be integrated into Dasong, and now we should use iron-blooded means to Jiaozhi."

When he came to the door, he pointed outside, "Now, you will kill all the people who instigated this child to shock the Jiaozhi people and let them know that the attack on the Dasong soldiers would cost a heavy price. Otherwise, such incidents would continue to happen in the future. Only when they were afraid would our soldiers be safe and they could continue to live their own lives."

Guo Tu showed shame on his face and responded, and went out with the help of the soldiers.

After a while, several gunfires sounded in the city.

Qin Shan and the other two looked at each other and nodded one after another.

At this time, Qin Shan said to Mu An, "Don't wait for Guo Yong. You will immediately lead the central army to Longyou County. Taking advantage of the fact that the Jiaozhi people did not react, they will seize the county town. I don't want to wait until I arrive in Hanoi, and the landing team flags are inserted inside."

"Yes, General, the Marines are resting and picking up our credit." Mu An saluted and turned around and went out.

...

at the same time.

In the palace located in Hanoi, the civil and military ministers of Jiaozhi gathered around Ruan Chushan, and all looked frightened.

They have received news that Zhiling County has fallen.

Because after the fall of Zhiling County, thick smoke came out from the beacon tower again.

Hanoi is only more than 200 miles away from Zhiling County.

In an hour, a beacon tower closest to Hanoi was lit.

"Emperor, this time, Da Song's army is coming with great force and is determined to destroy our Jiaozhi. At this moment, the 100,000 troops led by General Ruan Youjin were defeated in Zhiling County. Longyou County was empty. I am afraid that they would invade Hanoi within three days." A minister advised, "The only way now is to retreat south and seek asylum from the Franks."

Ruan Chushan was very moved when he heard this.

At present, more than 8,000 Frank troops are stationed in Jinou County.

This is a county town in the southernmost part of Jiaozhi, and it is also a trading port they promised to give to the Franks.

Previously, two thousand Frank troops were stationed here, but since the arrival of the Western Turkish coalition, the troops have expanded to 8,000.

Obviously, the location of Jinou County is a link in the war between the Western-Turkish coalition and Dasong.

Just as the British wanted to defend India, the Franks wanted to protect their Southeast China.

For this reason, they will definitely fight against Da Song.

Once the Franks fought with the Dasong army, the Western Turkish coalition, which advanced and retreated, could only support the Franks.

At that time, they may be able to block Da Song's troops.

"Your Majesty, you may not need to withdraw from Hanoi immediately. Why not ask the Frank army to come and help? This Hanoi is the most prosperous place in Jiaozhi, with a fertile land of thousands of miles. It is a pity to hand it over to the people of Dasong?" said a general. "The last general is willing to lead his troops to Longyou County to resist the Dasong army."

"No, General Ruan's 100,000 troops were defeated by the Dasong army in just two days. What do you want to fight against the Dasong army? We only have 100,000 troops left now, so we should be safe." A minister retorted.

"There are no timid rats, I, Jiaozhi people, have never been afraid of the Dasong army? We should resist with death and let the Dasong people see our power."

"Arrogance, how come today's Great Song is the Great Song of the past?"

“…”

The two sides gradually started to quarrel when they said something and I said something.

At this moment, a general suddenly broke into the hall with an anxious expression.

Kneeled in front of Ruan Chushan, and the general said, "Master, something is not good. The Dasong fleet sneaked into the navy at Haiyang Wharf. Our 120 warships instantly turned into powder. After that, the Dasong soldiers landed in a small boat. The defenders of our wharf could not resist. They had already come to Hanoi!"

"What!" Ruan Chushan was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground.

Haiyang Pier is only more than 200 miles away from Hanoi.

The time the news reached Hanoi was enough for the other direction to advance a hundred miles.

The Minister and General Jiaozhi were also very surprised.

It was precisely because they were worried that the Da Song army would launch an attack from the east sea that they left half of the troops in Hanoi.

Now, the Dasong army is indeed here.

But before, they didn't expect the Da Song army to be so powerful.

Now, the troops in the north are coming to Hanoi, and the ones in the east are also coming to Hanoi.

It is likely that Hanoi can't hold on anymore.

Thinking of this, Ruan Chushan said anxiously, "Now retreat south immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, another general came hurriedly and said, "Emperor, Dasong's army has captured Qinghua County."

Ruan Chushan suddenly felt like falling from an ice cave.

Jiaozhi has a long and narrow terrain, with plains along the coast, and the junction of Funan Kingdom to the west are all mountains.

This Qinghua County is located 80 miles south of Hanoi, and is the narrowest part of Jiaozhi.

The Dasong army cut off the place, and their escape south had become impossible.
