Chapter 8
Chapter 8 — The Lord gave my whole family the crime of Tru Di, I smiled and turned around to besiege the city
I look at those nine words. The eye sockets are a bit hot. This letter. Compared to that war report, it makes me feel more secure. Hac Lien Tranh did not disappoint.
“My command!”
I took a deep breath, trying to suppress the excitement in my heart.
“Reward three pieces!”
"Hac Lien Tranh commands methodically, is wise and courageous, and is awarded the title of First Class Dung Marquis!"
“In addition, spread this war report throughout the world!”
I want everyone to see. The eyes of Nguyet Tri Vi. It's not wrong! War reports spread. The capital immediately boiled. Hundreds of people spread word of mouth. Everywhere there were cheers and joy. The ministers who once loudly criticized me at court have now simultaneously turned silent. Every time I see you again. In their eyes, besides fear, there was also a bit of sincere admiration. I used an irrefutable victory to completely silence them. It's just the beginning. The great victory at Lang Cu Tu mountain only temporarily slowed down the attack of the North Dich but did not really damage their base. The King of North Dich was furious. Personally, personally, the king personally conquered. He gathered the remaining twenty thousand troops and brave warriors mobilized from all tribes. Outwardly, it was announced that there were fifty thousand troops. Then they aggressively rushed to the border. They have learned from experience. No longer rushing forward like before. But progress step by step. Set up camp, arrange defenses, step by step approach. The pressure that Hac Lien Tranh faces is much greater than before. War reports were continuously sent to the capital. The war situation is tense. There are also losses. Every day, I was in the Royal Study room with several officials of the Ministry of Infantry, studying the sand table and deducing the battle situation. Many nights I stayed awake until morning. Although I do not understand marching and fighting. But I understand people's hearts. Through the intelligence network of Pham Thien Cac, we analyze the internal affairs of Bac Dich and the conflict between Bac Dich Vuong and tribal leaders. Bac Dich looks extremely powerful. But the inside is not at all united like a block of iron. That is our chance. I wrote a letter myself. At the same time prepare a treasure chest. Then he sent Soc Anh to bring the largest tribe, Bac Dich, to the ambitious tribal leader. I never mentioned the alliance. Also don't make any requests. I just "asked" about his health. By the way, he "cares" a little about the problem of hay for his tribe's buffaloes and goats to get through the winter. Not long after Soc Anh left. Behind Bac Dich, disharmonious sounds indeed began to appear. The tribal leader openly questioned the North Dich King's decision to go on a personal expedition. At the same time, he used the excuse of "protecting the tribal people" to refuse to continue reinforcing troops for the Royal Court. A small fire can burn the entire steppe. The fluctuations of one tribe very quickly created a chain reaction. The North Dich army's logistics and supply operations began to continuously have problems. The military's mind also began to waver. Hac Lien Tranh took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. On a foggy night of snow and rain, he personally led three thousand ironclads, marched a long way, circled behind the North Dich army, burned all of them. their food. The news transmitted to the Northern Dich Vuong's camp immediately caused chaos in the army. King Bac Dich decisively ordered the entire army to retreat. But how could Hac Lien Tranh give them that chance? He had already arranged layer upon layer of ambushes on the only road that the North Dich army was forced to pass through when withdrawing. That battle was later called "Tuyet Da Bon Tap" in history books. Hac Lien Tranh used a little to win a lot, and fought a glorious victory that was enough to be remembered in history books. Fifty thousand Northern Dich army collapsed like an avalanche. In the midst of the chaos, King Bac Dich was shot by an arrow by Hac Lien Tranh, seriously injured and fled. The danger in the North has since been completely resolved. The news spread to the capital. The whole country rejoiced. I decree a general amnesty for the world, and let the common people rejoice together. At the same time, I decided to personally go to the North to reward the three armies and welcome the triumphant return of our heroes. My loan price slowly left the capital amid resounding cheers from all people.
