Du Zhongbo lay on the bed, looking at the roof with his eyes blank, looking dazed. In this way, he had been for several hours. After he said that with Hammerezi, Du Zhongbo asked his entourage to go out of the city and return to Zhan Bo's camp after one hour. However, the entourage did not say it out of the city, and even Hammerezi's residence could not be out. Du Zhongbo knew that everything was over and Zhan Bo was completely finished.

Looking back on my decades of life, I was carefree in my youth, a wealthy family and leisurely living environment, and I almost didn’t have to worry about anything. I just lived my life so comfortable and comfortable. This was actually quite good. This was always the idea of ​​Du Zhongbo when he was young. Until he became an adult, because of his ancestors’ dreams, Du Zhongbo went to the Han area and Fengjing, the capital of the Jin Dynasty. There, he witnessed the Jin Dynasty from decline to revival. During this period, the Jin Dynasty was full of talents and famous officials.

Famous generals emerged. In order to revive the Jin Dynasty, these people continued to fight bravely and fought bravely, and finally brought back the empire that declined and fell on the brink of destruction. Under this environment, Du Zhongbo was deeply shocked. He thought of his motherland, which had been ruled and enslaved by foreign tribes. The Western Regions once had glorious, powerful and unified, rich land, vast land, and millions of people. Why can't they move towards revival and powerful?

It was during this period that Eucommia Du began to have his own ambitions and ideals. Although this was just the beginning, it also greatly changed Eucommia Du. He began to study Han culture, military strategy, and strategy. Ten years later, Eucommia Du returned to the Western Regions and began to find a goal, a goal that could achieve his dreams together. In the end, Eucommia Du met Zhan Bai, who also had lofty ideals and ambitions, and two people with the same goal came together.

However, in the Western Regions at that time, people were uneven and the Dashi Empire was suppressed. Even if Du Zhongbo and Zhan Bai had great ideals and ambitions, they had no room to display. They could only accumulate strength in secret and wait for the opportunity to appear.

The Dashi Empire and the Lunar Eclipse Empire have been frequent wars for nearly a hundred years. The long-term military conflicts have consumed a lot of material and manpower. The final result is that in the continuous wars, the national strength of both countries has begun to decline, especially the Lunar Eclipse Empire. Large-scale civil riots broke out in the country. The Dashi Empire is ready to concentrate its forces and take the opportunity to destroy the Lunar Eclipse Empire.

However, at this time, the first Longyou War broke out. The Dashi Empire was defeated and completely withdrew from the Longyou land. After nearly a hundred years, the Jin Dynasty regained the seven states of Longyou. As the military force of the Jin Dynasty entered the western part of Longyou, the Dashi Empire did not know whether the Jin Dynasty would take the opportunity to invade the Western Regions next. Out of this concern, the Dashi Empire could only urgently draw troops from the country to enter the Western Regions and strengthen the military power of the Western Regions. In this way, the Dashi Empire's troops to conquer the lunar eclipse Empire weakened. The final result was that it still did not take the lunar eclipse Empire. It was laborious and the people complained. The domestic situation began to lose control. The poverty of national strength led to the Dashi Empire's exploitation of the Western Regions becoming increasingly heavy and violent. This burden was shamelessly transferred to the lower level by the top leaders of the Western Regions. The people at the bottom of the Western Regions were unable to bear the burden, resentment, dissatisfaction, and had accumulated to the limit.

Zhan Bai took advantage of the emotions of the people in the Western Regions to bypass the senior management of the Western Regions and launch a surprise attack, so that the Dashi Empire could deeply understand one truth: arrogance will be defeated, sheep will have teeth, and rabbits will bite people if they are anxious.

Du Zhongbo planned for Zhan Bai and went towards success step by step, but the current situation was like a chess game, and the changes in the wind were not something that manpower could speculate. Du Zhongbo did not expect the rise of the Persian Empire, and Li Xun's decisive dispatch of troops, but Du Zhongbo did not expect it.

Du Zhongbo suddenly stood up from the bed, his expression sometimes was melancholy and sometimes was angry. In the end, he just sighed deeply, closed his eyes in pain, and lay down weakly again.

Du Zhongbo suddenly felt that he was ridiculous. He thought that he was extremely smart and fearless, and he would definitely succeed, see through everything, and master everything, but he could not even see through the most basic human nature.

After achieving huge military victory and gaining huge power, the once restrained, low-key and humble Zhan Bai was gone. Zhan Bai was like a nouveau riche overnight, and began to become arrogant, conceited, and even arrogant. He excluded and suppressed Chen Tu. Du Zhongbo had dissuaded him. He sent troops to the Dashi Empire. Du Zhongbo had dissuaded him. He intended to attack Longyou. Du Zhongbo had dissuaded him. His compromise to the nobles of the Western Regions. Du Zhongbo also dissuaded him. Our goal is to unify the entire Western Regions and establish a powerful and unified empire. You are here with the public opinion, and your military power is here with you. The right time, place, and people are here with you. What else do you have to fear and compromise?

Zhan Bai's changes made Du Zhongbo extremely disappointed. He thought about leaving, but he was unwilling to accept it because he was only one step away from the success of his ideals and ambitions, but just such a small step was so far out of reach.

Moi was indeed very accurate. Now Zhan Bai has lost everything. His last 60,000 troops and 10,000 soldiers were stationed in Lincheng, and the remaining 50,000 soldiers attacked Qicheng with all their might. This offensive was very fierce at the beginning, but with the news that Zhan Heng's entire army was wiped out, the last 30,000 elite troops of Qianguo were destroyed, and Mahad led a 50,000 army to besiege Suye City. Faced with such a situation, the attitude of the countries in the Western Regions was very cold, as if they didn't care about Zhan Bai's life or death. A series of destructive news caused the emotions of the soldiers under Zhan Bai to collapse completely. The aura of despair spread in the army. Except for the fierce attack on Qicheng two days ago, the subsequent attack began to become increasingly weak. This kind of powerlessness was not decided by Zhan Bai himself, but the morale of the army was already in chaos and morale. The soldiers were already desperate about the prospects, so where would they have the strength to fight with others?

In fact, Zhan Bai now has less than 20,000 troops, and the losses caused by attacking Qicheng are indeed very high, but in total, less than 10,000 people died. Sixty thousand minus ten thousand, there should be 50,000. However, Zhan Bai only has less than 20,000 soldiers left in his hands. Where did the 30,000 soldiers go? After running, large-scale deserters have appeared in Zhan Bai's army. Zhan Bai was still barely controlling at the beginning, but with the 10,000 soldiers stationed in Lincheng, he abandoned the city and fled, all the last food, grass and logistics supplies in the city were gone. The news came that the soldiers in Zhan Bai's military camp had already escaped, and Zhan Bai could not stop them, and he was unable to stop them, because this kind of escape was not just ordinary soldiers, but all the eight senior generals in his hands were left now.

Zhan Bo, who was desperate, finally found Du Zhongbo and let him enter Qicheng, hoping to exchange all the land west of the Western Regions for peace with Hammerjez. This was an extremely dangerous thing, but Du Zhongbo still chose to agree. He didn't care anymore, because this was the last thing he did for Zhan Bo.
