The one leading the troops to attack the capital this time is Saliwen, the king of Nanyuan of the foreign kingdom. He is highly skilled in martial arts and military tactics. He has been leading troops to fight against the Great Northern Dynasty for many years and is a powerful figure in the foreign kingdom.

This time, he led an army of 100,000, the elite force of the Three Kingdoms allied forces. These soldiers were extremely fierce and had amazing combat power.

Sullivan led this large army from the north, advancing with unstoppable momentum and sweeping all before reaching the capital.

His mission this time was to capture the emperor of the Great Northern Dynasty.

Sullivan was well aware that the capital of the Great Northern Dynasty was guarded by 100,000 troops, as well as a large number of imperial guards, along with a large number of civil and military officials. Taking the capital would not be an easy task.

After arriving in the capital, Sullivan's army did not immediately attack the city, but instead set up camp on the outskirts of the capital.

He hoped that Shang Wei would take over Shuixian Village as soon as possible, and then march his troops to the capital to join forces with him to attack the capital.

Once Shangwei's army arrived in the capital, they began to surround and capture the capital, taking the emperor of the Great Northern Dynasty prisoner.

Sullivan's army set up camp outside the city, and the garrison of the capital came out to challenge them.

Sullivan lined up to meet the enemy. On both sides, foreign generals took turns to fight, killing many of the generals of the capital's garrison.

After several battles, the defenders of the capital suffered crushing defeats, and no one dared to venture out of the city to challenge them again, so they had no choice but to raise the sign of truce.

Sullivan wasn't in a hurry. He simply sent people forward each day to hurl insults and create a sense of panic, so that he could wait for Shangwei's army to arrive.

To his utter surprise, Shang Wei's army suffered a crushing defeat when it attacked Shuixian Village.

What he found even more incomprehensible was that the army that wiped out Shang Wei's 100,000-strong force was actually a local army of only a few thousand from Shuixian Village.

It seems we can't count on foreign aid anymore. Now we can only rely on ourselves. With my years of experience leading troops in battle, it's still possible to take the capital and capture the emperor of the Great Northern Dynasty alive.

When he learned that Li Hui, the eldest prince of the Northern Dynasty, had fled the capital and was heading towards Xinzhou Prefecture, he knew that the capital was already in a state of panic.

Why not use this incident to undermine the morale of the army in the capital, making it much easier to attack the capital later?

At the same time, one can bribe disloyal ministers in the court and offer them bait to make them obey one's orders.

Thinking of this, Sullivan immediately arranged for one of his trusted confidants, Hamady, to bring generous gifts and sneak into the capital through the south gate to begin searching for his lackeys to serve the foreign country.

During this period, Li Guang recruited many new soldiers, bringing his total strength to over 20,000. When he learned that the 100,000-strong army of the foreign state had arrived in the capital, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Li Guang suddenly remembered that a few days ago, he had encountered officials from Xinzhou Prefecture. They came to Shuixian Village with the Crown Prince's edict, wanting to tell Li Xue and Zhao Xian about transferring the compressed biscuits.

Li Xue was shocked. Why did Li Hui want to transfer all the compressed biscuits to Xinzhou Prefecture? Compressed biscuits had become a strategic material for the Great Northern Dynasty and could only be supplied to the border or war zones.

The vast area from Xinzhou Prefecture to Guzhou was the rear area of ​​the Great Northern Dynasty. No matter how the foreign countries invaded the Central Plains, the flames of war could hardly reach there.

"What is the Crown Prince planning? Is he trying to escape the war? Having so many compressed biscuits is equivalent to having a large amount of food supplies. Even if the entire Northern Dynasty falls, he will be very safe."

“The princess’s analysis makes a lot of sense. By inquiring with officials in Xinzhou Prefecture, we learned that Li Hui’s destination was Guzhou. He instructed the officials in Xinzhou Prefecture to transport all the compressed biscuits to Guzhou.”

Li Hui's plan was too shrewd, and Li Xue was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

“But we haven’t seen any officials from the new state government come to Narcissus Village. Did you send them away?”

Li Guang nodded and said:

"Yes, I told them that all the compressed biscuits had been shipped to the border, and there were no more compressed biscuits left in Shuixian Village."

During this period of intense fighting, Shuixian Village has no raw materials for processing, and now it can't even produce a single compressed biscuit.

And that was how I sent them away.

“That’s right, you did the right thing. We don’t know how long this war will last, and compressed biscuits have become an important resource. They should be sent to the places that need them most,” Zhao Xian said.

"The Lord of the Imperial Household is right. The place that needs compressed biscuits the most right now is the border. There are 200,000 troops at the border, and they consume a lot of food every day."

"If this goes on for too long, we'll definitely run out of supplies. Once the soldiers run out of food, the border will be in grave danger," Li Xue said.

"Over the years, we have produced a large number of compressed biscuits, and now we can transport these compressed biscuits to the border."

Soldiers can eat compressed biscuits with rations to extend the shelf life of the rations.

Moreover, as long as there is food, we can continuously produce compressed biscuits to provide for the soldiers at the front.

"Once the border is secured, the two barbarian armies in the Central Plains will be trapped like turtles in a jar, defeated without a fight."

Zhao Xian's analysis was accepted by everyone, so their top priority now was to transport the compressed biscuits to the border.

"Then I will transport these compressed biscuits to the border. During this period, there will be no foreign troops attacking Shuixian Village. After I go to the border, if the war is not too intense, I will return."

"I have now received the true teachings of Guiguzi, and perhaps I can lend a helping hand to the soldiers on the border," Li Guang said.

Li Guang's words greatly surprised Li Xue. Li Guang actually wanted to go to the border. She looked at Yao Lin, who glanced at Li Guang, pondered for a moment, and then said:

“I think it’s feasible for Li Guang to transport dried biscuits to the border. After Li Guang arrives at the border, he can go to see General Yue.”

After hearing this, Li Xue nodded. Currently, foreign enemies have invaded the Great Northern Dynasty, and Li Hui has fled to Guzhou for refuge. The entire court is in complete chaos.

At this time, Li Guang was actually the safest. He could take the opportunity to develop his own power and gain the support of the border soldiers.

At this moment, Zhao Xian felt that the three of them seemed to have known each other for a long time, and that they had not only met in Shuixian Village.

Especially Li Xue, who cared for and loved Li Guang like a brother and sister. There must be something she didn't know about this.

At this moment, Li Xue had already seen through Zhao Xian's thoughts. He felt that there was no need to hide Li Guang's background from Zhao Xian.

Zhao Xian had long regarded Li Guang as his own brother, and over the years, he had shown Li Guang meticulous care and concern.

Thinking of this, Li Xue spoke up:

"Lord Shaofu, there is something we have not told you yet, and I think it is time to tell you the truth."

Once you know about this, you must keep it a secret and not tell anyone.

Zhao Xian found Li Xue's words strange. He looked at Li Xue and said:

"Since the princess has said so, I will definitely keep this secret. Now you can tell me."

Li Xue nodded and asked, "Do you know Li Guang's true identity?"
