351. Chapter 351
"What? The twenty army of the Great Zhou Dynasty has reached the kingdom? What should I do?"
"It's over now. The 400,000 troops were beaten to pieces. Isn't it now...!"
"Your Majesty, I think we should give some gifts to the Great Zhou Dynasty as soon as possible. They will definitely stop there!"
Listening to the courtiers, Zhong Wanda's face showed a hint of sadness. Is this the Tianpeng Kingdom today?
On the surface, they are the strongest among the four countries, but in fact they are already completely ruined. These aristocrats of aristocrats only have their own interests in their eyes and no country at all.
How long will such a kingdom be glorious even if the Great Zhou does not send troops to retaliate?
But Emperor Qiu Tongbai didn't think so, because he had the same idea as these aristocratic families. To put it bluntly, the royal family was just a larger aristocratic family.
However, in order to maintain the royal majesty, he pretended to be serious: "Give me peace of mind, how can it be that noisy in the court?"
Qiu Tongbai's angrily shout was quite effective, and the ministers in the court also calmed down for the time being, staring at Qiu Tongbai sitting on the dragon throne one by one.
Qiu Tongbai took a deep breath and then said, "The Great Zhou army is so fierce that it is indeed not something that the Tianpeng Kingdom can compete with now."
"So, in order to preserve the hope of the kingdom, I decided to concentrate all the troops north of the imperial capital and the nearby prefectures and counties in the imperial capital to fight the invasion of the enemy country. I hope you all will help you in your face."
Qiu Tongbai's method was equivalent to giving up all the large area of land north of the imperial capital and the nearby counties to the Great Zhou, which was extremely cowardly.
Unfortunately, the ministers in the court did not care, but they all supported each of them strongly.
"Your Majesty's plan is very wonderful!"
"In this way, we can gather at least 150,000 troops, and fighting the enemy is no problem."
"Your Majesty is wise! Long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long silence, your majesty is s
Ye Tianyuan, who stood among the ministers in the court, snorted coldly when he saw this scene, and then murmured to himself: "What a bunch of borers, I know how to protect myself."
The assets of these aristocratic families are in the imperial capital, so in their eyes, the security of the imperial capital is more important than anything else.
As long as their interests are not violated, they will not care about how much land the kingdom has lost!
This is also the reason why Ye Tianyuan looked down on them.
Ye Tianyuan was born into a poor family. Because he was appreciated by Chen Feng, the Grand Marshal of the Kingdom's military, he was promoted to the No. 2 figure in the Tianpeng Kingdom's military. Therefore, he hated Li Cunxiao who killed Chen Feng.
Now that I saw the ministers in the court blindly seeking peace and avoiding war, I felt angry, but I could do nothing.
The Kingdom of Tianpeng is the kingdom of aristocratic families after all!
After some discussions by ministers in the court, the matter of fighting against the Great Zhou was finally settled, which was called strategically abandoning territory outside the imperial capital and striving to defend the imperial capital with all efforts.
...
When the Tianpeng Kingdom was about to shrink its troops and conscript troops near the imperial capital, the Huolin Legion was getting closer and closer to the Tianpeng Kingdom's imperial capital.
Now three days have passed since the Great Zhou attacked the Tianpeng Kingdom. While Li Cunxiao achieved fruitful results, he also realized the subtle changes in military situations in recent days.
"Fengxiao, the situation seems to have changed!"
Li Cunxiao, who was riding on the dragon horse and walking parallel to Guo Jia, showed a hint of doubt on his face.
On both sides of his side, there were three generals, Gao Shun, Hao Meng and Zang Ba, who were also riding horses in parallel.
As for Gongshuqiu, this old guy has always been riding a snake alone and never rides a horse.
Hearing Li Cunxiao’s question, Guo Jia smiled and said, “General, we have not encountered decent resistance in recent days, and the army of Tianpeng Kingdom suddenly disappeared!”
Li Cunxiao nodded and said, "Yes, although our offensive pace is very rapid and we have not been subjected to too strong resistance, but that is because our strength is too strong. The essence of the Tianpeng Kingdom is still there."
"The Tianpeng Kingdom now seems to have completely given up resistance and wait for us to occupy it, how weird!"
Gao Shun and others also showed a hint of doubt on their faces at this time. The regular army of Tianpeng Kingdom seemed to have disappeared out of thin air overnight, and no ghost could be seen.
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "General Li, perhaps the Tianpeng Kingdom did not give up resistance, but instead put more energy on their imperial capital."
Guo Jia saw through everything at a glance. They were only a few hundred miles away from the Emperor of Tianpeng Kingdom, but they had not seen any soldiers yet. Except for all the turtles hiding to the capital, he could not imagine any other possibility.
When Li Cunxiao heard this, he said disdainfully: "The domineering mechanism and Zhang Han are here. Even if the defense of the imperial capital of the Tianpeng Kingdom is excellent, we can easily take it down."
Guo Jia's face was not that relaxed, but instead muttered to himself: "It's better to be careful in everything."
He is not a person who is easy to be proud, and he will not relax without truly seeing victory.
"Fengxiao, what are you talking about?"
Li Cunxiao frowned and asked in confusion when he heard Guo Jia's murmuring.
Guo Jia came back to his senses and said, "General Li, General Zhang Han should be going to welcome the Yingyang Legion and the Golden Fire Cavalry!"
Li Cunxiao nodded and said, "Yes!"
Two days after they attacked the Tianpeng Kingdom, the Yingyang Legion and Meng Tian’s Golden Fire Cavalry also arrived. In order to get them to join the Fire Lin Legion, Zhang Han took the initiative to ask to greet them.
Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "General Li, please send someone to inform the two reinforcements now and ask them to change their itinerary temporarily and don't meet with us!"
"Let the Yingyang Army divide the 30,000 troops, bypass the imperial capital of the Tianpeng Kingdom, and set up an ambush a hundred miles to the west. At the same time, another 20,000 troops head to the east, and General Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry secretly detoured the southern part of the imperial capital."
"Since the emperor of Tianpeng Kingdom is already our possession, why don't we use him to destroy the reinforcements of Tianpeng Kingdom? Our three armies are divided into four parts, and it would be wonderful to have a surround and attack the reinforcements."
Li Cunxiao's eyes lit up. This method undoubtedly saved them a lot of time, and they didn't have to run around after they captured the imperial capital of Tianpeng Kingdom.
Then, he went to Zang Badao beside him: "General Zang Ba, you personally inform General Zhang Han of Fengxiao's plan, go and return quickly!"
...
The journey of a hundred miles can be completed in less than two hours for Longma, so the Fire Lin Legion, which was not hindered, soon arrived at the capital of the Tianpeng Kingdom.
As Guo Jia expected, the battle flag was floating on the imperial capital at this time, and a soldier with a solemn expression stood on the tall city.
The defense here can be said to be at its peak. Compared with the unprepared cities that have been passed along the way, the imperial capital at this time is like a Great Wall of Steel.
"Order the army to camp for the time being!"
Looking at the defense of the imperial capital in front of him, Li Cunxiao and Guo Jia did not choose to attack the city immediately, but chose to rest temporarily and wait for the Yingyang Legion and the Golden Fire Cavalry to take their place.
The battle to destroy the country is about to reach.
