Li Shimin led the army to push forward forcefully, pushing all the way from Taiping Prefecture to Liuzhou Prefecture.
Although the Tang Empire's army was about to occupy the entire territory of Qingzhou Province and Guangxi at this time, the sadness on Li Shimin's face became even deeper.
When Li Zhi died, he was cut into pieces and brought to him. He did not shed a tear in front of him. But late at night, he shed tears that he had not seen for many years.
In order to avenge Li Zhi, he ordered the Taiping Prefecture to be massacred, and Li Zhi was buried in Nanning Prefecture.
But even so, he was still full of melancholy, and the depression in his heart could not be dissipated for a long time.
In just a few days, most of the 10 million Tang Empire rangers were killed.
At this time, there were only a few unsettled ranger armies left behind him. This battle was becoming increasingly difficult.
"Your Majesty, this is bad, the Ming Empire has perished!"
And when the spies brought the news, he became even more panicked.
Cheng Mu's courage was too great. His own army was overwhelming the country, but Cheng Mu actually resisted the pressure and destroyed the Ming Empire?
Now that the Ming Empire has perished, doesn't it mean that all the efforts he made before have been in vain?
"Pass on my order to order Li Jing, Xue Rengui and others to withdraw their troops!"
Li Shimin did not dare to divide his troops to fight again.
He knew that Cheng Mu would definitely turn around and start a war against the Tang Empire at this time.
After seeing the power of the Apocalypse Empire, he will go all out!
"Send an order to Yan Changyun to speed up his march!"
Finally, he roared loudly.
At this time, in Guangxi, Qingzhou Province, there was still a city in Guilin that was still resisting.
So he wanted to completely occupy the entire territory of Guangxi before Cheng Mu came back, thereby reducing the national destiny of the Apocalypse Empire!
Now, he is trying every means to reduce Cheng Mu's strength.
"As you command!"
Fang Xuanling and others also frowned now.
In the past few days of fighting, although many soldiers from the Apocalypse Empire died, there seemed to be an endless supply of Apocalypse Empire soldiers throughout Guangxi.
General Wei Xiaobao is dead, why is the morale of the soldiers of the Apocalypse Empire still so high?
At this time, Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said without any concern for Li Shimin's emotions: "Your Majesty, please withdraw your troops!"
He did not agree with fighting against the Apocalypse Empire from the beginning, as Li Zhi would die.
And now, Li Zhi is dead. And the Tang Empire has not been able to achieve the desired results. Guangxi, which is only a small country, is having such a difficult time. How can we fight the next war?
In addition, the country was invaded by pirates, and coastal cities were burned, killed, and looted wantonly.
Wei Zheng can't stay any longer!
Rather than wasting time here, it’s better to go back and discuss it all over again!
"You! Presumptuous!"
Hearing that Wei Zheng actually asked him to withdraw his troops, Li Shimin was filled with anger. He roared: "Come here, drag him down!"
Wei Zheng actually came out to disturb the morale of the army at the critical moment. It was an unforgivable crime!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Li Shimin wanted to punish Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling on the side hurriedly persuaded him: "Xuan Cheng was just impulsive, please spare his life!"
The strength on our side is not that sufficient to begin with. If another Wei Zheng is removed, the Tang Empire will be even more difficult!
"Your Majesty! If you have more strength now, you will have more opportunities!"
At this time, the Tang Empire was in many difficulties. Should Wei Zheng be punished? It would be better to let Wei Zheng perform meritorious service on the battlefield!
"Hmph! No one can say the word retreat in this battle!"
Now that we have taken action, there is absolutely no reason to retreat.
Li Shimin took the risk.
Although Cheng Mu now conquered the Ming Empire, the territory of the Ming Empire has not yet fed back the Apocalypse Empire.
This battle is the last chance for his Datang Empire.
Once Cheng Mu consolidates his power, even his own Tang Empire may not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the Apocalypse Empire!
"Wei Chen obeys your orders!"
Fang Xuanling breathed a long sigh of relief and hurriedly pulled Wei Zheng back.
"His Majesty!"
Wei Zheng still wanted to tell, but Fang Xuanling covered his mouth! Doesn’t this Wei Zheng not want to live?!
Guangxi, Guilin Prefecture.
At this time, all the forces in the Apocalypse Empire gathered here.
Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, Di Renjie, Zhuge Liang, Guan Zhong, Lin Zexu, Xie Xuan, Lin Lao...
Facing Li Shimin's personal conquest, they could only resist Li Shimin's advance by joining forces.
"Haha! Everyone, there is good news!"
In the city lord's palace, Zhuge Liang laughed and spoke to everyone after receiving the news of the demise of the Ming Empire.
The end of the war in the Ming Empire means that the expeditionary army of the Apocalypse Empire can return.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Guan Zhonglian said three good words. During this period, he racked his brains.
Under his personal call, tens of millions of young men in Cheongju Province bravely joined the army and served the country.
Coupled with the joint efforts of everyone, the Guilin Mansion was defended.
During this period of fighting, although they killed 5 million of Li Shimin's ranger army, their own casualties exceeded 6 million!
General Wei Xiaobao even led the Qingzhou Army to fight to the last moment and guarded Nanning Fucheng until his death.
There is no way, there are too many powerful people under Li Shimin's command.
When Zuo Ci and Yu Ji teamed up to resist Yuan Tiangang, the only powerful ghosts and gods that the Apocalypse Empire could use were Xie Xuan, Zhuge Liang, Guan Zhong, Lin Lao, and Shan Xiongxin.
The opponents of the five of them are Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Shangguan Wan'er, Yao Chong, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Wang Gui...
At this time, Li Shimin had more than ten strong men in the ghost and god realm! Even Li Chunfeng, who was recovering from his injuries, withstood the battlefield!
If it weren't for the sword-loving Shenjian Army who used their military souls to resist Li Chunfeng several times, and if Zhao Yun, Zhang Wanlong and others led the Apocalypse Army to rush to the rescue, Xie Xuan, Zhuge Liang and others would have died in the battle by now!
"Hold on, everyone!"
Zhuge Liang made the final mobilization for war. He said: "As long as we can hold on until His Majesty comes back, that will be the time for us to counterattack!"
Although Li Shimin is strong, he is not afraid!
He believed that with the united attitude of the people of Qingzhou Province, they would be able to keep the enemy at bay in Guangxi.
In the city at this time, there were not only Xie Xuan's Beifu Legion, but also the powerful Apocalypse Legion!
Although the strength of Zhao Yun, Zhang Wanlong, Huang Zhong and others has not yet reached the level of ghosts and gods, they are already independent beings!
If Li Shimin acts recklessly, he will turn the entire Guangxi into a Shura field!
"good!"
Everyone is determined. Li Shimin wants to destroy the Apocalypse Empire? Then step over their corpses!
That's it!
"roar!"
The golden dragon of national luck that is hundreds of feet high roars from the north.
After absorbing the national fortune of Mingzhou Province, the Apocalypse Empire's national fortune golden dragon began to give gifts to everyone in the country.
It was also at this moment that everyone's strength soared!
After just a few breaths, the strength of the entire Apocalypse Empire soldiers has at least improved by a small level!
For Li Shimin, the strong national destiny was a boundless poison at this time.
The huge power doubled the pressure on them!
"This is the national destiny of the Apocalypse Empire!"
His face was ashen and in disbelief.
He could clearly sense that the national destiny of the Apocalypse Empire had far surpassed that of the Tang Empire.
So at this moment, his fighting belief became even stronger.
He encountered the same dilemma as Zhu Di.
When he was unable to coexist peacefully with the Apocalypse Empire or catch up with the Apocalypse Empire in terms of development, he could only strike first and fight to the death!
The 'virtuous son-in-law' whom he used to call extremely affectionate has already grown into an enemy of the Tang Empire!
"Pass my order! Summon the Black Armor Divine Army to come!"
"Send envoys to various empires and tell them about the power of the Apocalypse Empire!"
Li Shimin has already risked his life!
Now the pressure on him from the Apocalypse Empire is too great. If this is the case, then he will give it his all!
In the past, he wanted to go to full-scale war with the Song Empire.
And now, the target of all-out war has become the Apocalypse Empire!
He didn't believe that the entire Tang Dynasty and all the forces that could be combined could not conquer this new Apocalypse Empire!
...
Apocalypse Empire, Apocalypse City.
Cheng Mu accepted the blessing of the national destiny and took the lead in returning to Apocalypse City with the strength behind the Shentai.
Since Zhuge Liang went to support Xie Xuan in person, the running of the country was handed over to Lin Yazhu at this time.
Of course, this is not the point.
After returning to the Apocalypse Empire, the first person he went to see was Hua Mulan.
His third son has been born long ago, but he has only now had time to visit.
"His Majesty!"
Seeing Cheng Mu return, Hua Mulan couldn't help but shed tears.
Not seeing each other for more than a year was really hard on her.
"Mulan!"
Cheng Mu rushed forward and held her in his arms. He knew that he owed Hua Mulan a lot, so he could only keep comforting her with words.
However, the movement of the two men woke up the child on the bed.
Hearing the cries, Cheng Mu ran over excitedly.
He gently picked up his son, his face full of love.
Later, he felt endless guilt and self-blame.
As a father, he did not personally welcome the birth of his son. This was his responsibility and regret as a father.
"Son."
Hua Mulan saw his guilt and comforted him: "Young Master is the emperor, and both my concubines and Zhao'er can understand your painstaking efforts."
How can we sometimes take care of both family and country?
"Um."
Cheng Mu promised: "I will compensate you mother and son!"
Hua Mulan gave up her military uniform for him. The third son, Cheng Zhao, did not see his father until several months after he was born.
He, Cheng Mu, will definitely make up for all the debts owed!
"Father! Father!"
At this time, hearing the movement in the house, Cheng Rui and Cheng Ling ran in.
For more than a year, Hua Mulan has lived in Li Shishi's Lanxin Palace. It has been so long, thanks to Li Shishi's care.
"Rui'er! Ling'er!"
A smile appeared on Cheng Mu's face. After not seeing each other for more than a year, Cheng Rui and Cheng Ling had grown up a bit.
They were only two years old, but now they looked like seven or eight-year-old children.
Especially Cheng Rui, there is already a hint of heroism between his brows.
"What a bad dad! You haven't come back for so long!"
As soon as Cheng Rui and Cheng Ling ran in, they hugged one of Cheng Mu's legs and refused to let go: "We will never let daddy go again!"
Although Master Li taught them to be sensible, the relationship between father and son is still so deep.
"well!"
Cheng Mu comforted them.
Here, he can shed his heavy responsibilities, abandon his status as an emperor, and enjoy the beauty of his home without restraint.
"His Majesty!"
Master Li also ran in, with tears in his eyes!
"No more crying, no more crying! I'm back now, so I'll be happier!"
Seeing the people crying all over the house, Cheng Mu comforted them one by one.
Soon, laughter and laughter returned to Lan Xin Palace!
But the second day.
As soon as Cheng Mu walked out of Lanxin Palace, the guards outside the city hurriedly reported:
"Your Majesty, the envoy from the Song Empire is here!"
