When things developed to this point, Tianfeng Kingdom also began to panic.
Everything seems to be out of control now. As one of the parties involved, Tianfeng Kingdom has not yet realized what happened.
They naturally knew that Linton had brought some soldiers out, but they also knew exactly how many people he had brought with him.
Xiao Anan wanted to take care of it at the time, but he really couldn't.
The murder of Ma Yixiong was so big that it immediately caused chaos in the entire Tianfeng Kingdom. Before Xiao Anan could take care of Linton's affairs, he was directly surrounded by a group of noisy ministers and generals.
How to deal with Ma Yixiong's matter is what these ministers are concerned about. After all, it is related to their wealth and lives.
The general of the empire was killed, and was hacked to death on the spot by their princess in full view of the public. Now Tianfeng Kingdom not only has to face the revenge of the army from Yongjin City, but also has to give an explanation to the empire.
Let alone the empire, they can't handle the tens of thousands of troops from Yongjin City alone. If this matter is not handled well, Tianfeng Kingdom will obviously be destroyed. What will these ministers do then?
So isn't this the most important thing?
Xiao Anan was entangled like this. Before she could express her position, the ministers and generals had already started to stir up trouble among themselves. Of course, the main opinions were two, war or peace.
The capitulation faction obviously had no lower limit, and hearing their various proposals made Xiao Anan's blood pressure soar.
Let’s not talk about Linton, a person who has nothing to do with them now. After all, although the generals who followed Linton were all called Linton’s prince-in-law, in fact Linton was not a prince-in-law at all, and he did not have any formal relationship with Tianfeng Kingdom.
Relationship. The meaning of these ministers is obviously very simple, to take down the other party and plead guilty.
What is even more exaggerated is that Xiao Anan was asked to take Xiao Qingqing to plead guilty, and even Xiao Anan was asked to go to the imperial capital to plead guilty personally. In short, it was like there was no lower limit.
In the eyes of these ministers, no matter what happens to the Tianfeng Royal Family, it has nothing to do with them. Even if the empire wants to hold the Tianfeng Royal Family accountable, it has nothing to do with them. At most, they will just change their allegiance to another master.
But what if the desperate resistance really angers the empire, and the empire feels that everyone in Tianfeng Kingdom has rebelled, and will be liquidated by then, then what if they are also brought along?
Anyway, they are not the ones asking for punishment, nor are they the ones who are embarrassed. As long as this matter can be solved, it will be fine.
Of course, there are those who surrender, and of course there are those who advocate the war. Most of the generals are still a bit bloody, and they all understand the principle of humiliating the king and his ministers to death, and they still have to save face.
However, the most radical generals at this time have now followed Linton directly. Although the generals who remain here do not advocate peace, they are obviously not optimistic about the current situation.
Most of their main battles propose that Tianfeng Kingdom concentrate its forces and defend Tianfeng City with all its strength. Considering the actual situation, if Tianfeng Kingdom currently defends the main city, it should be able to persist for a long time. As long as Yongjin City
Without contacting the Empire to send troops, their own tens of thousands of troops would definitely not be able to take down a fortified city like Tianfeng City in a short time.
However, only Tianfeng City can be defended. In their opinion, other towns outside Tianfeng City are obviously undefendable.
As for how long they will be there, of course these people don't know, they can only wait for the right time.
Of course, some generals said that peace is possible, but peace cannot be just that. Defend first, and not only must defend, but also defend beautifully.
It only makes sense to wait until the other side realizes that their side is a tough nut to crack. Otherwise, if you surrender right from the beginning, others can run away, but Queen Tianfeng... you can't run away.
The reason is very simple. Xiao Anan naturally prefers to fight first. Of course she immediately understood what these surrendering ministers thought.
The situation at this time is that the people in Yongjincheng are absolutely determined to fight to the death. Since Ma Yixiong is dead, they will naturally take revenge.
However, the attitude of the empire is still unclear, and in Xiao Anan's opinion, this is the key point to break the situation.
As far as she knew, the emperor of the empire did not completely trust Ma Yixiong. Ma Yixiong, a frontier official who commanded tens of thousands of troops, was somewhat suspicious of the empire. At this time, Ma Yixiong's sudden death might actually be a problem for the emperor.
Still a good thing.
Of course, even if it's a good thing secretly, the empire may hold them accountable on the surface. After all, the empire wants to face shame. Their general was killed, so of course they will definitely seek justice on the surface.
Therefore, the strategy of defending first and waiting for the right time is actually not a too negative strategy. If you can really resist it, this matter may really change.
It's just that this matter needs to be defended first, and then Xiao Anan will think of ways to find out what the empire means, or make a statement.
After a fierce war of words throughout the court, Xiao Anan still agreed with the strategy of gathering troops for defense. But before it could be implemented, something big happened.
"Why has our army defeated the troops in Yongjin City?" Not only Xiao Anan, but everyone looked at the soldiers who came to report the battle in confusion.
"This...how is this possible?"
"This is complete nonsense. This person is fabricating war reports. Your Majesty, please kill him!"
Because it was so unbelievable, no one believed the news. Even though it was his own soldier who came to report, and although the soldier reported the situation very carefully, no one believed it.
By the time they confirmed the news, Linton had already led his men to capture Yongjin City. Linton had no control over the battle during the period, but Dong Ping and the others reported everything back.
It can only be said that these few battles are simply unbelievable. However, the place itself is not far away, and they themselves have sent people to check and investigate, and the incredible news in front of them is indeed true.
In just a few days, the current situation has been turned upside down again. The current situation can only be said that the people in Tianfeng Kingdom can't keep up with the reaction at all. Every day is the same, which is really more exciting than a roller coaster.
However, although the overall situation seems to be favorable to them, the voices of the peace-seeking factions in the DPRK and China have become louder.
Because now more and more ministers realize that this matter is really big. Before, Yongjin City was still a matter of one city, but now the empire can no longer ignore it.
Sure enough, they didn't have to wait long before everyone received the news that King Cheng had been ordered to attack the Tianfeng Kingdom.
