What does itTingfei softly let out a sigh After caerous circufei was aly not fluctuated in the slightest Since the moment that he discovered he had been surrounded, he could clearly hear the snapping of his heartstrings He was simply too tired Over these years, he had practically propped up the situation in Northern Han by himself, while he had faced an endless strea,¹ without being arrogant at victory nor despairing at defeat, practically forcibly grinding away his sharpness and fighting spirit The subordinate generals that he relied upon had either died or turned traitor At present, he was now all alone in the world and had even dragged his fiancée doith hi to an end Long Tingfei understood quite well that there weren’t any hopes that he would be able to escape

When the Yong arouped army of the Prince of Qi, over four hundred thousand troops had completely surrounded the Northern Han army in the wilderness While there wasn’t an absolute difference in fighting strength, unless they made disastrous sacrifices, it would be impossible to break out

The terrain of Qinzhou was narrow If they wanted to break out, they could only do so either towards Jishi+ or Zezhou However, if they escaped in the direction of Zezhou, Long Tingfei ell aware that it would be impossible for thee, while his side’s alternatives were extremely limited Under these circufei and Lin Bi had personally planned several atteht to bring their entire ar army, and left behind countless casualties in vain The Qin River had run red with blood As the Yong arhtened its encirclement, the soil was also saturated by the blood

Seated on a woven mat in a siht, Long Tingfei’s wasted and haggard appearanceTingfei had indifference and desolation on his face Only his aqua eyes still had a bit of their former radiance However, only those who paid attention would have noticed that it was very different froance that looked disdainfully down upon the entire world The radiance of his eyes was filled with an awareness of the world and an indescribable sorrow

Frofei did not raise his head, still looking at the si had personally drawn Upon it was recorded the Yong arated, risking life and lifei The la The shadow blocked the light falling upon thehis head The flickering flaure of the individual before hiolden phoenix The visitor was Lin Bi

Lin Bi also looked quite haggard Her once beautiful face eighed down by hardshi+ps Her clothes were bloodstained Long Tingfei was filled with sorrow seeing soown stained with blood He placidly asked, “Does Princess Bi need sohtly, Lin Bi sat down across fro her head into her hands It was a long ti ares into ht they be trying to persuade you to surrender? These past few days, es too Were it not formorale, it would likely be certain li to persuade us to surrender The ht to tell reat strength and ’er, coically fell into the barbarian’s trap Going all-out, second elder brother cut a bloody path before dying with over a dozen arrows sticking out of his back outside of Yanmen Pass In addition, my father’s illness has relapsed and the arfei felt his ardless of whether the contents of the es were real, the Daizhou arave, “This could be the enemy’s ruse”

Lin Bi smiled thinly, her smile packed with sorrow She somberly stated, “I also wish that this was the enemy’s ruse However, even if it were so, they have already succeeded At present, feelings of alarm permeate the officers and soldiers of shan, and fourth younger brother, Chengyuan, have lost all taste of battle Further, the news is probably true This letter was one personally and specially penned by the Prince of Qi, Li Xian, toin great detail what is occurring in Daizhou Li Xian is not someone ould use false infor, Lin Bi handed a letter to Long Tingfei

Long Tingfei accepted the letter and read it rapidly Sure enough, the letter explained the reat detail If even Lin Bi felt that there weren’t any holes, then it was most likely true He feebly set the letter down and asked, “Have you made a decision? If the Daizhou army wants to surrender, I will not blame you”

Lin Bi rose to her feet and coldly responded, “The Daizhou arn was the result of public talks How can we change our minds on the battlefield? Ever since the Daizhou ar with the eneed allegiance to Northern Han, we never uttered the word surrender”

The expression on Long Tingfei’s face beca anticipated that the Princess’s resolve would be so fir you out just now I am the commander-in-chief and understand the iive , Lin Bi replied, “However, since the situation has reached this point, we have to do so in response andall sacrifices If we continue to tarry, littered in Long Tingfei’s eyes He stated, “I had just wanted to invite you over to discuss breaking out Over these days of fighting, Sister Bi should understand that the Yong arle ti arard of losses If the Daizhou ar are too far Were it not for Sister Bi’s resolve, you probably would have been surrounded by the ene arets are the Qinzhou arive some leeway to the Daizhou army As a result, I have meticulously planned a new escape plan and require Sister Bi’s all-out assistance”

Lin Bi did not speak How could she not understand what Long Tingfei was saying? However, even if the Daizhou army was even more valiant, they only had fifteen thousand troops Even if the Yong ar to seize the opportunity to charge through the Yong lines was impossible Slowly, she raised her head and in a weak and understanding voice asked, “Do you want my Daizhou ar Tingfei shtly and answered, “By itself, it would be impossible for the Daizhou ar army only needs fifty thousand elite troops to stall the Daizhou army’s assaults If I seize the opportunity to lead thearth If we lack strength, even if the Daizhou aret away Sister Bi must understand that when it comes to loyalty to Northern Han, uished ar army will definitely focus primarily upon the Qinzhou army”

Lin Bi did not reply She calfei’s explanation Long Tingfei continued, “As a result, I have decided that ill break out in three waves The Daizhou army which you command will serve as the first wave and break out to the northeast The Yong army will definitely employ its usual methods and do its utmost to lure the Daizhou army into a separate envelopment to isolate our armies from each other Then I will lead twenty thousand elite cavalry with great fanfare and assault directly north The Yong ar to stop me After that, the Lu family brothers will lead my army’sso ar the river to help the navy to escape the trap”

Lin Bi grew cold, as she asked, “Are you trying to use yourself as the bait to lure the Yong focus to allow Qinzhou’s fei sole this can I preserve the core of Qinzhou’s ar the officers and soldiers of the entire army If I were to try and cherish my life and live on without purpose, hat face do I have toarmy surrounds us in all four directions, especially to the north with over a hundred thousand Just, if our ar three sides will attack us from behind That is e have not been able to break out This time, I will personally lead the assault and lure the entirety of the enemy’s main force to surround me Based upon the boldness and ferocity of the Lu fah In addition, when the Yong ar my army’s escape, their encirclement of Sister Bi will definitely weaken The chance of the Daizhou ar my life and the lives of e for the escape of the majority of our ar the lead, the losses will definitely be heavy That is why I wanted to consult with you over this”

Seeing how Long Tingfei was so indifferent when he talked about his death, Lin Bi’s tender body was on the verge of collapse The man before her was her fiancé For lack of a better option, with their country ienerals who commanded troops, they were separated le ti aside fro of personalsince considered hi companion Now that they were about to part mid-journey, how could she accept it? At this er the “Princess General” the entirety of Daizhou admired and only an unfortunate woman as about to lose her lover

Forcibly holding back her tears, Lin Bi softly inquired, “As you are so fervently seeking your death, what about ? It is to happen at the end of this year”

The expression on Long Tingfei’s face changed as his countenance revealed an overwhelly sad expression In order for the Daizhou ar had e could not be delayed The Northern Han King had taken charge and set a date If the Yong army retreated, the tould be fei was also secretly happy If they could drive the Yong army off, then he had the face to take a bride However, froht together by fate, they didn’t have the fortune and did not have the opportunity at being fei answered, “Sister Bi, it isn’t that Tingfei is deliberately avoiding our agreefei does not dare to be greedy for survival”

Covering her face, Lin Bi staggered out, relying on the walls of the tent She could be seen to faintly tre, the forceful suppression of the sounds of sobbing was enough to fei had a heart akin to steel or stone, he was incapable of bearing it With large strides, he stepped out and pulled Lin Bi into his arfei could feel the battle gown on his chest groarm and knew that Lin Bi’s tears had perhtly held Lin Bi to hiuished and the tent fell dark In the narrow confines, there were only the sounds of the two of breathing and Lin Bi’s soft sobbing In the darkness, Long Tingfei, a faloith health and vigor before others, also felt tears of sorrow fall
