"Have you found out the details in the city?"

On the front line of the Qi Kingdom, Emperor Yongzhao sat in the palace hall with a tired look on his face, as if he had not slept for many days.

"Yes, I found out a few spies spreading rumors from teahouses and taverns in the inner city. After some torture, I was able to confirm that they were people from the puppet government."

Lin Anmin stood in the hall with his head lowered, and his expression was obviously tired. The constant bad news coming from the south made them both physically and mentally exhausted.

"Did you ask for anything?"

The deposed emperor asked calmly.

He is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. Now even if there is bad news, he can still deal with it calmly.

Anle went back to the evil thief two days ago. In fact, he didn't go to see anyone in the past few days when she came to Qi State.

'The next time I meet with the Queen, it will be when I have forced Zhao Thief to a dead end, and I will make Dayu glorious again.'

In the minds of young emperors, they always emphasize their ambitions in times of adversity.

"Not yet."

General Lin shook his head.

"The fine works found in the city are all from the Qi State. The reason why they preached that the puppet army was unstoppable was because they were lured by money and silk."

"Is this so? Should I say that it is a good thing that the people of the Six Kingdoms are still loyal to the Yu court, or should I say that they are all traitors and traitors who betrayed the Chu family?"

The Yongzhao Emperor was very angry that the people of Qi had betrayed their country for money. It seemed that they knew that they were basically Yu people.

This is also the limitation of civil war. The subordinates will not work together like in a foreign war, but feel that victory or defeat can be accepted.

Even if the so-called orthodox emperor of Dayu were defeated, the people of the Six Kingdoms would not be reduced to cattle and sheep. After all, they were not killed by aliens.

"Zhao Cuo is really a good trick."

Lin Anmin said with a sigh.

"He made people in the Six Kingdoms exaggerate that the Southern Army was a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general. Our army will not be able to enjoy the sunshine this summer. Now people are panicking."

He really taught General Zhao a lesson this time, and his method of stirring up public opinion really caused them a lot of trouble.

"It is better to defend the people's mouth than to guard the river. How can we still prevent the people from speaking?"

The deposed emperor shook his head.

He was also helpless in his heart.

Since the beginning of the war, they have been at a disadvantage, and there has been no chance of reversing this decline.

"What we have to do internally is of course to keep the people's hearts and minds, and we need to use bounties to hunt down the perpetrators. To do all this, we must have a big victory!"

The young emperor's mind is still clear, and he can only use his success in war to stabilize people's hearts.

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

Lin Anmin suddenly had a hint of confidence in his eyes.

"Our army has recaptured two cities in the past few days. Wu Chongxing can't hold on for long under the attack between us and the Xisha Kingdom. He can hold on for another month at most."

"Your Majesty, General Lin! The secret report from Nanhai has arrived, and Prince Huainan is also back with him. He is already outside the palace..."

A soldier walked into the hall with his head lowered.

"Um?"

Emperor Yongzhao's expression changed.

Prince Huainan is back?

He had given an order! There was no need to turn back until Southern Xinjiang was completely lost. Doesn’t coming back now mean...

"Invite people in quickly, don't neglect it! Go."

The deposed emperor waved his hand calmly and said.

He was extremely courteous to the Huainan Wang family.

After all, the Chen family was the first to surrender to him, and their family's throne would be indispensable in resetting the world in the future.

"See the Emperor! This trip is a disgrace to my mission. I should have raised my head to see you..."

The Prince of Huainan bowed his head to the end as soon as he entered the palace.

The young emperor interrupted him.

He stepped forward and helped the person up.

"Why do you say this? You are willing to go to the dangerous places in southern Xinjiang for me. You are loyal and commendable. The war there is not something you can control. What crime do you have?"

Emperor Yongzhao's words were sincere, and he treated his close ministers in the same way. But more often than not, he did not lose the majesty of the emperor, so he had many capable people in his hands who were loyal to him.

"I feel guilty. I was entrusted by you in the first place, and my return this time indeed brought news of the defeat of the war in the south."

Prince Huainan said with a long sigh.

He knows how to speak tactfully.

Defeat is said to be a defeat.

"Could it be..."

The deposed emperor's expression became even more serious.

"Yesterday, the Dragon Tribe retreated to the last city on the south coast. All the Southern Territories have surrendered to the Zhao bandits. The Southern Army will completely occupy Southern Territory today and tomorrow."

The Prince of Huainan whispered, as if the sound of artillery fire that went off every day during this period was still echoing in his ears, and he had an inexplicable feeling that firepower is justice.

"After all, we are just a small clan. How can we stop the vicious Zhao thieves? What's more, they are still in southern Xinjiang."

The young emperor's face turned pale.

However, he still forced himself to remain calm in front of his ministers.

As a superior, you must always show confidence in front of your subordinates. No matter how bad the situation is, you must shout "I have the advantage."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Zhao Cuo's arrogance should be muted in the South China Sea. So far, there is no country that can compete with the Dragon Clan in a water war."

Lin Anmin's expression changed slightly but he quickly regained his composure.

"That's it."

It’s not like Emperor Yongzhao didn’t imagine the current situation.

Even if Zhao Thief captures the southern border, he will definitely not be able to conquer the South China Sea, so he will have a chance to make a comeback.

When he regained Ningxi Prefecture and successfully joined forces with the Xisha Kingdom's army, he would be able to fight against the Southern Army with nearly 200,000 troops and horses.

"General Lin, you will be able to send the baggage to Nanhai to them. You must hold it for another month."

The deposed emperor pondered for a moment and then said.

He believes that it is not difficult for the South China Sea to hold on for another month.

Fighting is not about cutting leeks. Wu Chongxing could hold off a city for half a month, but the Dragon Clan could not defend its territory that had been rooted for thousands of years.

"Yes! I will definitely defeat Ningxi Mansion within this time, and then turn around and fight the Zhao thief decisively."

Lin Anmin responded without hesitation.

In just a few words, they seemed to have gained the upper hand in the war, and the Confederate army was already at a disadvantage.

However, in fact, Zhao Cuo had once again sent the news of the great victory to Ningxi Mansion, and the secret guards of the East Palace had infiltrated the fleets of the Six Nations and the South China Sea.

…

"General Zhao has sent a secret message! Southern Xinjiang will be completely recovered. We only have to guard it for another ten days."

Wu Chongxing took the letter in the Chinese military tent and circulated it to the generals.

The generals present all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ningxi Mansion is really reaching its limit.

"I ask you all to do your best from now on!"

Governor Wu's expression was serious. He had felt relieved just now, but at this critical moment, he would unconsciously become more nervous.

"When this battle is won, I will definitely ask the general to take credit for you! Those who deserve to be promoted will be given officers, and those who deserve to be made marquis! You will all be heroes of Dayu by then!"

"I will obey the orders of Lord Governor Xian! Yu will be victorious! The general will win!"

Suddenly the tent was filled with heat.

Many times, it is impossible for people to sacrifice their lives for the righteousness of their family and country, not to mention the internal fighting between Yu and Yu.

If you want to make people sacrifice their lives, you have to provide actual benefits. The only thing that can make generals risk their lives is to be granted the title of lord and general. No matter how nice it is, it is all nonsense.

"Zhao Cuo, Yan'er misses Master, when can we go back?"

In the commander's tent of the Confederate army camp.

Zhao Cuo just had lunch with the two beauties.

Mrs. Yan had just filled her stomach. Every time she had food and clothing, she would think of her master, so she suddenly focused on General Zhao again.
