Hearing Emperor Liukang's angry rebuke, Prime Minister Zhao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and anger arose in his heart.

It was his own fault, but he did not reflect on it, and instead blamed them... Narrowing his eyes, Zhao Xiang said, "If your Majesty had been willing to listen to the dissuasion of the humble minister and not become an enemy of Linzhan, how could our court have fallen into this situation?"

After hearing this, Emperor Liukang's young face suddenly turned red, and he felt angry in his heart.

How dare this guy make trouble in front of you!

Although he wanted to curse, but he knew that the other party should not be offended, Emperor Liukang exerted force, and the fists under his sleeves clenched tightly!

"I have nothing to do, please step back!" Although he wanted to appear peaceful, the anger revealed in Emperor Liukang's words had been clearly heard by Prime Minister Zhao.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Zhao Xiang looked dull, cupped his hands and said, "Wei Chen, please leave."

After that, he turned around and strode away.

King Zhang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It is not appropriate to fall out with Prime Minister Zhao at this moment. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future..."

King Zhang did not say what opportunities he had or what he could do, but the two people present knew what he meant.

After some words of persuasion, King Zhang also excused himself, turned around and left.

"Too presumptuous!" Emperor Liu Kang scolded angrily. Emperor Liu Kang gritted his teeth for a long time before standing up and striding away.

Many eunuchs and guards waiting outside the palace quickly followed up, following Emperor Liukang as he marched all the way to the dormitory.

Passing through a courtyard, Emperor Liukang suddenly heard that someone seemed to be communicating in the courtyard.

I didn't understand it at first, but when I suddenly heard the words "Your Majesty" and "Cuju", Emperor Liukang was a little confused.

Have you ever been associated with Cuju?

If you want to make contact, you should fight crickets.

Involuntarily, he stopped and listened quietly.

In the courtyard, there were two young eunuchs who were sweeping the house and said, "I heard that the people outside the city were shouting and scolding very harshly. They said that after the city was broken, His Majesty's head would be cut off and used as a cuju to kick..."

"You're so cruel... but you can kick your head like a cuju. Is it easy to kick?"

"It should be okay, just roll over and your brains will flow out..."

After hearing what the two men said, Emperor Liukang immediately became furious and angry at the people outside the city for daring to insult him like this.

He was also angry that these two little eunuchs dared to talk about his head, damn it!

Emperor Liukang, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, immediately shouted angrily, "Capture the two men in the courtyard, chop off their heads, and order the palace guards to kick them a hundred times. If they don't do it less than a hundred times, don't stop!"

After saying that, he walked away angrily.

Several guards immediately obeyed the order and rushed into the courtyard. After hearing what Emperor Liu Kang said, the little eunuch turned pale and cried for mercy. They directly captured and dragged him away!

"Damn Qin thief, you dare to humiliate me like this and make me angry!" Emperor Liu Kang was so angry that he cursed angrily as he walked away. He wished he could use all the soldiers in the city to capture Qin Yi and chop off his head.

Think of it as Cuju!

But this is just a fantasy, Liu Kang can't do it... Thinking of this, Emperor Liu Kang couldn't help but feel sad.

The entire army of 60,000 soldiers was wiped out, and Jing Shou was also dead. What should Kangdu do in the future?

…

Zhanjing, the residence of Prime Minister Wu.

A man who had traveled a long way came to the mansion and knocked hard on the door.

Waiting in the courtyard, he opened the door immediately and saw a young man walking in a hurry outside the door. He seemed to be walking on foot, so he asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

Although there is an old saying, "the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door" refers to the gatekeeper for the prime minister. His status is like a seventh-rank official. If you want to see the prime minister, you must be willing to help pass the message.

Therefore, no matter how old an official is, he will treat the stewards and disciples of the prime minister's residence with courtesy.

This will make these servants become arrogant.

But Wu Xiang is different. Not only does he not care about fame and wealth, he is not afraid of favors and humiliations, but he also often teaches his subordinates not to be arrogant or rude.

Therefore, even if the visitor came on foot wearing ordinary clothes, the doorman did not show any disdain.

The visitor immediately said, "I am Wanxi, the nephew of Lord Wu Xiang."

Hearing this, Menzi was slightly startled, and suddenly remembered that he had seen this young man before, and said quickly, "Please come in quickly!"

Although he is only a disciple, he knows the family situation of the Prime Minister Wu very well.

The hometown of Prime Minister Wu is Juxian City, Tingluo Prefecture. There is an eighty-year-old mother and an older brother at home.

Prime Minister Wu originally wanted to send someone to take the old mother to Zhanjing and take care of her personally, but because the old mother was old and frail, she was not suitable for long distance travel and the climate of Zhanjing, so she could only stay in her hometown and be supported by her brother and sister-in-law.

The Prime Minister Wu also never used his personal power or promoted his eldest brother or nephew to officials. Therefore, not only in terms of talent, but also his personal ethics are admirable.

The eldest brother is illiterate and the nephew is clueless. Both of them live in their hometown and make a living by crafts.

Although Prime Minister Wu had not given any instructions, the county magistrate of Ju Xiancheng knew how to be an official and a good person, and often took care of Prime Minister Wu's brother and his family, so they lived quite a prosperous life.

Now, Wanxi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared. The doorman was a little surprised and hurriedly welcomed him to the lobby. He couldn't help but asked out of curiosity, "Master Xi, why are you here?"

Wanxi was a simple man, and although his expression was anxious, when he heard the disciple's inquiry, he replied without much thought, "My grandmother is seriously ill, and my father asked me to go to Beijing to report to my uncle."

Hearing this, the disciple was slightly startled and did not dare to ask any more questions, so he quickly brought Wanxi to the main hall.

After hearing the news, the housekeeper hurried over and respectfully asked Wanxi to wait in the hall. After calling for tea and water, he rushed to the study with some servants.

On weekdays, if nothing happens, Prime Minister Wu will read in his study.

Walking into the study, the housekeeper said respectfully, "Sir, I am glad that the young master has come to the house. I have asked him to wait in the hall."

Wu Xiang, who was reading a book, raised his head and frowned when he heard the butler's words.

Because of his busy schedule and the increasing chaos in the world, he had to sit in the capital and did not dare to leave lightly.

Therefore, he has not returned home for five years. Now, when he learned that his nephew suddenly came, he already guessed that something big must happen at home.

He immediately stood up and strode towards the main hall.

Not long after, he came to the main hall and saw Wanxi with a simple face. Although he was worried, the Prime Minister couldn't help but smile and called, "Nephew."

Wan Xi suddenly stood up and grinned, "Uncle."

After shouting and realizing something was wrong, Wanxi quickly handed over his hand, his movements a little unfamiliar, "Nephew pays homage to uncle."

Prime Minister Wu shook his head and said, "No need to be polite. You came to Beijing, but something happened at home?"

Wanxi suddenly looked sad, "My grandmother is seriously ill, and my father asked me to come and inform my uncle."

Prime Minister Wu's brows suddenly furrowed.

Although he could not express his emotions and emotions, now that he learned that his mother was seriously ill, his face could not help but be cast with a layer of worry.

I haven’t seen my mother in five years, and now I have to go back and take a look.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Wu said, "Nephew, please sit down in the palace for a while while my uncle comes to the palace. I beg your majesty to allow my uncle to take leave and return to the province."

Wan Xi nodded repeatedly, looking happy.

He came here this time just to ask his uncle to go back with him.

Just because when my grandmother was unconscious, she always called her uncle's name.

But his uncle was in a high position and he didn't know whether he could leave the capital, so he didn't dare to mention it directly.

I only hope that Your Majesty can allow my uncle to take leave and return to his hometown.

…

Time passed slowly, and it was already seven or eight days later.

In the camp south of Kangdu, the camp gate is open.

A group of black cavalry rushed from a distance, and under the leadership of the silver-armored general, they rushed straight into the camp.

After entering the camp, dismounting, and handing over the horse reins and Hanning spears to the soldiers, Qin Yi took off his silver helmet and walked towards the commander's tent. As he walked, he said to the many generals lined up to greet him, "

Let’s go to the big tent to discuss matters.”

Many generals followed suit and followed closely.

After entering the big tent, he put his helmet on the shelf beside him. Qin Yi, dressed in silver armor, stood in the main position and glanced at the faces of many generals one by one.

Looking at this sharp gaze, everyone felt a little heavy in their hearts, secretly sighing that the commander-in-chief was already very imposing, but now that he was wearing silver armor, he was even more oppressive.

Before Qin Yi could say anything, Chen Yu couldn't help but ask, "Commander, how is the battle situation going out this time?"

He knew that Qin Yi never made mistakes when he made a move, but he was just out of curiosity, so he asked.

Qin Yi said gently, "In total, we defeated a dozen groups of enemy soldiers, with a total strength of about 60,000."

After everyone heard this, they were immediately amazed and amazed at Qin Yi's ability to predict things, which was so accurate.

I was also amazed that Liukang, one of the five great dynasties, was not far from being destroyed.

Kangdu was in crisis, and all the major cities sent out King Qin's troops. There were quite a few of them, more than a dozen batches in total, but the total strength was only 60,000. It can be seen that the troops in these cities were unable to make ends meet.

A general suddenly said, "Commander, Kangdu has many soldiers and horses, and the city is strong and difficult to attack. How about we attack other cities? After two rounds of division of troops, these cities must not have many defenders, and they can be captured in an instant."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but agree.

It is really easy for our side to deal with a small city with only 20,000 to 30,000 guards.

Maybe you can attack cities all the way and capture several or even dozens of cities in a very short period of time.

And Kangdu is so difficult to defeat, why waste all the troops and time here.

Qin Yi shook his head and said, "There are nearly a hundred cities in Liukang. If we fight them one by one, although it is not difficult, it will be very time-consuming. This battle should not be prolonged."

"Kangdu has to be attacked, so it is better to capture it in one go. If we go around the city, it will be useless to our own morale. After capturing Kangdu, most of the remaining cities will surrender, so there is no need to waste troops to attack."

After hearing what Qin Yi said, everyone nodded, feeling that it made sense, but the problem was that Kangdu was not easy to capture.

Someone was about to say this, but when he saw that the person standing in the main position was the victorious Qin Yi, he took back his words.

There is nothing that this man who has repeatedly achieved miracles can't do. He doesn't want to say something difficult to win, only to be slapped in the face afterwards.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Qin Yi ordered, "Continue to besiege the city. In addition to sending people to scold, we also sent some troops to fly kites day and night. On the kites, we need to draw some..."

After hearing Qin Yi's arrangement, everyone was slightly puzzled, but they didn't think much about it and quickly responded, "General, I will obey!"

After arranging the tasks, Qin Yi dismissed the generals and took off his silver armor with the help of his own soldiers.

"How is the situation over there with General Mu?" Qin Yi asked after washing up a little.

Captain Mao Lifu respectfully replied, "The situation of the war has not changed. General Mu can still only besiege but not attack."

Qin Yi listened and nodded slowly.

It didn't matter that Mu Haorang couldn't come to help, since he didn't intend to attack by force anyway.
