    ​‍‌​‍‌☆、General Order 24

    There have been several heavy snowfalls in Jizhou this year. Jizhou has always been humid and warm, and it rarely gets this cold.This is true even in Lingnan, and the capital in Kanto must be even colder.

    Such harsh weather is undoubtedly very detrimental to the war. Although Li Ding only has less than 10,000 defeated soldiers left, he is guarding the city. As long as there is food in the city, he can survive.

    However, the Vietnamese army had to continuously attack the city in the cold winter snow. Most of these elite soldiers came from the south and were not able to withstand the harsh winter, so it became even more difficult.Seeing that it is still early winter, if it reaches the depth of winter and the soldiers cannot survive any longer, I am afraid that the Vietnamese army will fall short.Tan Heng had to issue a death order and must capture the capital before December.

    This siege was undoubtedly brutal, even to the point of costing lives, but it never came to fruition. At this time, Tan Boyu offered a plan for Tan Heng.

    It turned out that after the capital was captured by the King of Hejian, although many aristocratic families fled, there were still quite a few who failed to escape.Some of them surrendered to the King of Hejian, and those who refused to surrender were naturally killed.Later, the King of Hejian died at the hands of Li Ding, and these aristocratic families followed Li Ding. Seeing that Li Ding was at the end of his rope, no one wanted to be buried with Li Ding, so naturally many people wanted to find another way out.

    Tan Boyu has controlled the intelligence system for many years, and there are many spies in the capital. He’s spies have established connections with some of the aristocratic families, including Li Ding’s wife family.

    “Li Ding’s first wife has died of illness many years ago. He’s current wife was married to him after he established himself as the false emperor. She was born in the Lin family. Although Lin married he, she has never been favored and has nothing to do with him. The Lin family and Li Ding are at odds with each other and have long wanted to rebel. Now they are the ones taking the initiative to contact Li Ding and saying that they are willing to assassinate Li Ding. As long as Li Ding dies, heThe remaining troops are just a pile of scattered sand, and the capital’s high walls and deep walls are nothing to worry about.”

    It’s just that the Lin family made a request. They were afraid of unrest in the capital after the incident, so they wanted to send several of the younger generation’s grandchildren out, hoping that the Vietnamese army would send them to the Lin family’s eldest house in Qinghe.And this escort must be someone they can trust.

    “The Lin family and the Zhang family have an old relationship, and Zhang Congyun has a reputation as a chivalrous person. Therefore, they hope that Zhang Congyun will take people outside the city to meet them and send them to Qinghe.”

    This is undoubtedly a very dangerous task. The Lin family can find a way to get one or two people out of the city, but in the area outside the city, if they are not careful, they will be discovered by Li Ding’s army.But as Zhang Huan was a minister, he naturally had no room to refuse.After Yao Ji heard about this, she couldn’t help but asked Tan Boyu: “Whether it was the Lin family who proposed it or not…”

    “Do you suspect it’s me?” The man said the unfinished meaning of her words simply, “The Lin family and I have not had any contact before. Even if I have great power, I can’t influence them in such a short period of time. This is a very important decision.” He was not angry because he was suspected by Yao Ji. Instead, he explained calmly. Seeing that Yao Ji was silent, heHe stood up and held his sister’s shoulders, “Yao Yao, look at me.”

    The girl raised her head, and in two pairs of equally dark eyes, they saw each other’s reflections.

    “Soon, all this will be over. The person who binds us will disappear forever. Nothing can stop us, nothing…” The man’s voice was gentle and low, “So, don’t be anxious, okay? You have to believe in me and brother.”

    “Yeah.” She lowered her head and replied meekly.

    On November 26, the capital city was destroyed.

    The Lin family accepted their petitions and presented Li Ding’s head to Tan Heng’s case.Yao Ji was far away in Jizhou at that time, but after hearing the description from others, Tan Heng was so proud that she was so happy that she even showed her unprecedented gaffe in front of others.Yes, of course he should be happy. Two-thirds of the world has been taken into his hands. This land will soon have to change its surname.

    Then the army entered the city and issued various edicts.The emperor in Jizhou City was in panic all day long, and except for he, everything was going on in an orderly manner.The King of Jiaoxi, who had been silent all this time, dropped a huge thunder. In fact, it was not he who dropped it, because he was already dead.

    While the Vietnamese army was still in a stalemate with Li Ding, on the third day of November, King Jiaoxi died of illness.

    He’s sons kept the mourning secret and secretly fought for power. Everyone wanted to get the throne before the incident was exposed.However, the paper could not cover up the fire after all, and the matter was leaked. At this time, everyone knew that the King of Jiaoxi had been lingering on the sickbed for a long time, but it shook the morale of the army, so he had concealed it until now.

    And Yao Ji’s long-standing doubts have been explained. Tan Boyu encouraged Tan Heng to form an alliance with Li Ding, which led to a war between the two parties. Didn’t he consider that the King of Jiaoxi would take advantage of the situation?In fact, King Jiaoxi will never do this because he can’t do it.

    With the death of King Jiaoxi, his “hypocritical strictness” instantly became a mess. The generals were at odds with each other, and none of his sons was strong enough to command the whole territory.There was little need for provocation. After several scuffles, the “Puppet Yan” fell apart. Several forces defected to the Vietnamese army, and a few others raised their banners and stood on their own.

    But for the Vietnamese army, which was in full swing, these forces were not even enough to fill the gap between their teeth. Tan Heng led the large army in triumph and issued orders on the way, ordering some of the troops staying in Jizhou to wipe out the enemy.

    Yao Ji is on the expedition team. When she returns to Jizhou next spring, Tan Boyu has been enthroned as the heir apparent of the Yue King.Among Tan Heng’s surviving sons, the fourth son, Tan Jixing, was only eleven years old. Tan Boyu was enthroned, which was naturally expected by everyone.Tan Heng was also very proud. Although he knew that his eldest son was not as docile as he appeared, but now that the world was like a pot, nothing could affect his good mood.

    Yao Ji looked on with cold eyes, probably he would never have expected it, such happy days would not last long.Because when the dust settles, that’s when he will be abandoned.

    Since when did my heart become so hard? I watched a person’s death without any emotion in my heart.But Yao Ji does not think that she is a vicious person. Human nature is probably such a complicated thing, indifferent because of disgust, and soft because of love and hope.

    Half a month later, King Tanheng of Yue died of illness aggravated by wind and cold.

    “Brother,” on the day of the funeral, Yao Ji and Tan Boyu knelt in front of the soul, with several crying brothers and sisters not far behind them. “That’s it for now.” She said softly.

    Everything is over, everything is in the past, no matter what happened before, no matter what we did before, it is over.After that, it’s a new beginning.
