Lin Feng returned to the central army camp from the military doctor. A group of generals had been waiting in the camp for a long time. When they saw Lin Feng coming in, they all stood up and bowed, "Your Highness, we pay our respects to His Majesty the King!"

"Generals, please don't be so polite. Please sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Lin Feng sat down directly on the main seat in the camp, "Everyone, because of my personal decision-making mistakes, more than 30,000 of our soldiers died in the battle at the West Gate, and the rest were all injured, almost the entire army was wiped out. For this, I will write to His Majesty to request punishment."

"In the battle at the West Gate, more than 20,000 Yuzhou troops were annihilated, and Yuzhou Sima Xu Hui also died on the battlefield. He is truly a role model for our Dayan soldiers and a role model for all of us to learn from. I will report his achievements to Your Majesty truthfully."

At this moment, Liu Song suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with your decision. No one can predict everything on the battlefield. It is normal to have some accidents. You don't have to blame yourself too much."

Qin Jingyun immediately stood up and saluted, "Liu Zhangjian's words are reasonable. There are always casualties in this war. The reason why we were able to capture 150,000 Vietnamese soldiers without bloodshed is all thanks to the prince's wise decision."

"Your Highness, although we lost more than 30,000 people in the battle of the West Gate, we finally defended the West Gate. None of the Vietnamese troops in the city escaped. The 100,000 Tiger Guards were wiped out, but we are still the winners." Song Dian said.

After hearing what the three said, Lin Feng felt much better and nodded immediately. "Commander Lu from the Jingjian Division learned the direction of the Yue army's breakout in time and invited 5,000 reinforcements from the north and east gates."

"If it weren't for these reinforcements, the West Gate would not have been able to hold out until the arrival of the army. Moreover, he bravely fought and saved General Xue in the battle of the West Gate. Commander Lu has made such a great contribution. I will personally commend him in front of His Majesty."

Lu Dongyuan quickly stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, I have praised you highly. These are what I should do. I dare not take credit for them. If it were not for the full cooperation of Generals Gao and Xiao, I would not have asked for reinforcements. The credit here should go to the two generals."

Lin Feng was very satisfied with Lu Dongyuan's performance and nodded immediately, "Okay, I will report your achievements to His Majesty truthfully, and His Majesty will reward you according to your merits after the battle."

Gao Rui, Xiao Yang, and Lu Dongyuan all bowed their hands, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Feng nodded, "General Cheng, how was our army's casualties in the battle at the South Gate?"

Cheng Tianhu immediately stood up and saluted, "General, the ones who broke through the South Gate were Yue's provincial army, whose combat power was average. They fought for so long but they couldn't even reach our frontier positions. No one in our army was killed, but we spent a lot of shells and bombs."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone at the scene burst into laughter, and Lin Feng also showed a faint smile on his face, "General Cheng, how many provincial troops of Yue State have our army destroyed in total?"

Cheng Tianhu quickly cupped his hands, "After the war, the statistics showed nearly 60,000."

Lin Feng nodded, and then stood up from his chair. "In the battle tonight, the Kingdom of Yue lost 160,000 troops. Now, there are only 40,000 provincial troops left in River Valley City. It is very close for Great Yan to unify the world."

Victory was in sight and everyone had excited smiles on their faces.

"Liu Zhangjian, you must immediately send a pigeon to report the situation here to His Majesty truthfully, and ask His Majesty to send officials to take over South Vietnam as soon as possible."

"Old slave obeys!"

Liu Song bowed, turned around and left the central army camp...

"General Li, transport the bodies of General Xu and the soldiers back to Yuzhou as soon as possible by boat."

Li Ming cupped his hands. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will start the journey right away."

Lin Feng nodded. "Although the Vietnamese army suffered heavy losses, the defense of the four gates of Hegu City must not be relaxed for a moment. Send half of the troops to hold their posts, and the remaining soldiers should have a good rest."

"Okay, the meeting is over. Commander Lu, please stay for a while, and all the generals should return to their respective camps as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty! Please leave!"

As soon as everyone left, Lu Dongyuan immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Please give your orders, Your Majesty!"

"Commander Lu, you must return to Hegu City immediately to inform Yuan Ce, and have him go to Gao Yanqing's house early tomorrow morning to persuade him to surrender, and clearly tell him that the army will begin the siege at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow."

"If Gao Yanqing can take the initiative to open the city and surrender, I will not only pardon the Gao family's crimes, but also let him continue to serve as an official in Dayan. Otherwise, let him think about the consequences himself."

"Of course, for all the Vietnamese troops who surrendered outside the city, I promise to retain their original military positions and allow them to continue to serve Dayan."

"Yes, Your Majesty! I promise to complete the task!"

Lu Dongyuan bowed, turned around and left the central army camp...

The Royal Palace of Yue Kingdom.

Fengluan Palace.

Murong Zhengming lay quietly on the phoenix bed, with Queen Chen Shuyue taking care of him carefully.

Murong Zhengming suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the phoenix bed. Chen Shuyue was delighted when she saw him. "Your Majesty, you finally woke up. You scared me to death just now."

"Empress, wasn't I on the tower of the West City Gate? How come I'm in Fengluan Palace?"

Chen Shuyue immediately stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, you fainted on the tower of the West Gate, and it was General An who took you and me back to the palace. Have you forgotten?"

Murong Zhengming thought carefully, and all the things that had happened before began to flash through his mind one by one.

"Queen, what time is it now?"

"Your Majesty, it is already 5:55 in the morning, and daybreak will soon begin."

Murong Zhengming immediately stood up and walked down from the phoenix bed, "Queen, where is General An? Send someone to find him quickly. I have something to ask him."

Chen Shuyue smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty, General An is guarding outside the palace. I will let him in right away."

"General An, please come in for a moment."

As soon as Chen Shuyue finished speaking, An Yong walked in quickly from outside the palace and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! I pay my respects to the Queen!"

Murong Zhengming raised his hand quickly, "My dear An, please don't be polite. Stand up! I want to ask you, how many people are left in the Tiger Guards?"

"Your Majesty, there are only 300 soldiers under my command left in the Tiger Guards."

Murong Zhengming's face darkened, "How many soldiers are left in the provincial army?"

"Your Majesty, there are still more than 40,000 provincial troops left, including 10,000 Dezhou troops, 10,000 Gaozhou troops, 10,000 Chengzhou troops, and 10,000 Yangzhou troops. Currently, these 40,000 provincial troops are defending the four gates of Kyoto."

Forty thousand provincial troops simply could not defend such a huge capital. Murong Zhengming immediately said, "Where is Eunuch Cao? Send someone to bring him to me immediately."

Cao Chun, who had been guarding outside the palace, heard Murong Zhengming calling him and walked in quickly, "This old servant greets His Majesty!"

"Eunuch Cao, quickly convey my order and have the four provincial army generals immediately order their men to block the four city gates with mud. Do not let the Yan army enter the city."

"Also, after daybreak, have the four generals recruit soldiers in Kyoto. All young men in the city between 18 and 40 must join the army."

"Old slave obeys!"

Cao Chun bowed, turned around and left Fengluan Palace...
