The Capital of Western Chu, Forbidden Palace, Political Affairs Palace...Zhenyuan Palace.
Regarding the tragic defeat of the battle at the lower floor, Cao Jiu and other Western Chu generals who stayed behind in Tiandu have received battle reports, and even a handful of defeated generals who have survived have fled back to Tiandu!
However, Cao Cao had no other choice but to wait for the important ministers of Chu in the west of Tiandu. He could only frown, sigh, and then... continue working.
What can they do?! It is definitely too late to support them. Should they send troops to take revenge?
Stop being ridiculous!
Grand Sima Zhou Yin and his 50 million elite troops were not able to do it. If Western Chu sent reinforcements, they would be beaten by meat buns and dogs, and they would never come back!
"Da Sima was ambushed and suffered a disastrous defeat. Emperor Li was so bold that he really might attack Tiandu by surprise. I suggest strengthening defense and alert..."
"That's true! Then increase the garrison at the city gate, increasing each side tenfold...to a hundred thousand people!"
"In addition, manned patrols and security must be strengthened on the city walls and outside the city, and the scouting range must be tripled..."
…
Cao Jiu and other important ministers who stayed behind gathered in the political palace early in the morning to discuss various matters. Their responses were not slow and cautious enough!
"It's not good... something bad is going to happen..."
While Cao Jiu and others were dealing with many government affairs, there was a burst of panicked shouting...
Cao Jiu and others who were currently discussing all had their faces darkened, and looked at the source of the sound in displeasure and annoyance.
This is the Political Palace, the highest meeting place of the Western Chu Immortal Dynasty, and it is also in the forbidden palace. How can such noise and gaffes be tolerated?!
"Bang……"
What made Cao Jiu and others even more irritated was that the visitor didn't wait for a call and kicked in directly. He ignored the ugly faces and fiery eyes of Cao Jiu and others and said anxiously:
"Something bad has happened! Da Sima has led his army back to the city, and many troops have already entered the city!"
The visitor is not a famous general from Western Chu, but an elder from the Xiang clan... Xiang Mu does not have any real official position in the Western Chu Immortal Dynasty, but he is also a marquis, and his seniority is high enough, even Xiang Liang.
He has to be called "ye", and his status in the Xiang family is not low!
"Marquis Mu, please be patient and don't be impatient. Isn't this good..."
Seeing that the person who came was Lord Mu, Cao Jiu held back his anger and comforted him repeatedly. Halfway through his words, his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly stood up and exclaimed:
"What did you say? Da Sima has returned to the city, and the army has entered the city? When did it happen? How many troops have returned?!"
"Um?!"
"What's going on?!"
"The remnant soldiers who escaped in the early morning mean that our army suffered a disastrous defeat and there is a high possibility that Da Sima will be captured?"
…
Seeing Cao Jiu lose his composure, the important ministers present immediately started talking, and then they all reacted, their faces changed drastically, they all guessed the worst case scenario...
"Isn't it possible?! Zhou Yin is the Grand Sima of my court..." An old man with pale hair and beard shook his head in disbelief and muttered to himself.
"It's estimated to be around 30 million...that's too many! As soon as I heard the news, I knew something was wrong and came immediately!"
Mu Hou Xiang Mu explained quickly and somewhat hurriedly, paused, and simply added:
"As I expected, this thief boy Zhou Yin has already betrayed the country and joined the bandits. In just the middle of the night, it is impossible for him to... gather so many defeated soldiers so quickly. To take a step back, even if Zhou Yin is a thief boy
We broke out of the encirclement and gathered the remaining soldiers. Emperor Li personally set up an ambush. After the war...whether our army can still have so many defeated soldiers left is a question..."
The old man with pale hair and beard, his face as white as paper, said in disbelief and with a hoarse voice, "Unless... the ones entering the city are Lijun?!
!”
"Bell! Warning! Enemy attack!"
!”
Cao Jiu, who was originally a bit indecisive and gentle and cautious, suddenly changed his face and yelled at Luck.
The sound is like a thunderbolt exploding from a clear sky, and can be heard even in the quiet forbidden palace!
Even Xiang Mu, a folk figure, guessed it. Although Cao Jiu was not a top strategist who was as smart as a ghost, he had never eaten pork, but had he never seen a pig running?! He guessed it in an instant!
What's more, Xiang Mu and some of the old men present have already made their words so clear. If you don't understand, you're really a pig!
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Activate all the formations, the whole city!
!Activate all the formations in the city, delaying time..."
Luck shouted, but before the reply fell, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Cao Jiu spoke again, and directly held out the seal representing the highest left-behind authority, and began to communicate with the Tiandu Formation!
The capital of Western Chu... Pengcheng is a famous capital through the ages. It has been expanded countless times over the years.
There are countless ancient and modern formations in the city. Even if there are not many killing formations due to Tiandu, various formations such as trapping formations and confusion formations are still useful. At least they can slow down and delay the enemy troops entering the city!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Everyone present turned pale, and they unanimously offered up countless jade slips to inform, or inform the department, or inform the family, or inform the power, etc.
"Enemy attack?! Where did the enemy attack come from?!"
The vast and luxurious Forbidden Palace, which was originally quiet, suddenly became boiling as the roar spread. Countless palace maids and eunuchs were stunned and panicked, and there were all kinds of discussions and suspicions.
"boom……"
A ray of light pierced the sky, pouring directly into the Political Palace from the depths of the Forbidden Palace.
A beautiful lady in palace attire, elegant and elegant, with a gentle and gentle temperament, appeared in the political palace and solemnly asked the audience in a cold voice:
"What's the matter?!"
"Greetings to the country..."
"See you, empress..."
When everyone present, including Zhou Yin, saw the visitor, they hurriedly paid homage solemnly and even paid homage to him!
The person who came here was the real mother of the Immortal Dynasty of Western Chu... Yuan Qilan had always lived in a reclusive society, and very few outsiders knew about it. However, she was the first wife and first wife of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and the only empress of Western Chu, and the concubine of the Forbidden Palace of Western Chu.
The real owner, referred to as Empress Yuan, is the biological mother of Xiang Long, the emperor's son who is the most likely to succeed to the throne among Xiang Yu's few heirs.
The Immortal Dynasty of Western Chu is also quite special. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, advocates strength and is not considered sexy. There are not many women, less than five fingers, and Xiang Yu's women are very low-key.
Only Yu Ji is widely known, and only Yu Ji and Queen Yuan, the mother of the country, are well known in Western Chu.
Fortunately, Xiang Yu's women are basically indifferent to fame and wealth, behave in a low-key manner, and have no intention of fighting for power and profit, so they are even less known, and there is no chaos among the queens!
Empress Yuan waved her hand to interrupt everyone's greetings, and stared at Cao Jiu with sharp eyes...
Cao Jiu didn't dare to mother-in-law, and responded quickly in a quick tone: "Your Majesty, I have learned from you! I have just learned the news that Grand Sima Zhou Yin has returned to the city with an army of 30 million, and many troops have already entered the city. I guess... I will wait.
It is speculated that Da Sima has surrendered to the enemy, and the army entering the city is not our army, but the Li army... It is very likely that the Emperor Li personally led it..."
By the end of the sentence, Cao Jiu was drooling, his cheeks were sweating, his voice was hoarse, and he was stuttering a little!
You can imagine how bad the situation in front of you is. Cao Jiu and others dare not imagine further...
"Notify the overlord immediately and order immediate reinforcements! Rescue!"
Queen Yuan's diamond-like eyes were as sharp as a knife as she looked around at everyone present. No one dared to look at each other, and then she listened to Yuan Queen's decisive order.
"My decree: The whole city will fight to the death, and those who are timid will die!"
"Those who die in battle will be remembered by Western Chu, and they will be rewarded according to their merits. They will receive ten times the military pension, and I will personally supervise them. Those who are timid in fighting will be implicated, and I will personally liquidate them after the war!"
"Instruct all major military camps to send out troops immediately, focusing on speed, and delaying the enemy's footsteps at all costs! The enemy's troops must not be allowed to reach the Forbidden Palace..."
"By the way...where is the enemy that entered the fastest?!"
…
Without stopping to give orders, Empress Yuan simultaneously offered up a seal, sealed it with lightning with both hands, and ripples spread out, communicating with the formation bases throughout the Forbidden Palace, and began to activate the protective formation of the Forbidden Palace.
If the Forbidden Palace falls, it will be a big deal!
The first Tiandu to fall, the first Immortal Dynasty to lose its Forbidden Palace, the Western Chu Immortal Dynasty is rising in fame and strength, and is in the stage of rapid development and growth...
The main force is on an expedition, but its home base is raided. It is simply a fantasy and the most ridiculous thing in the world!
The Western Chu Immortal Dynasty has become completely famous this time, and may even be passed down through the ages. It may even...be infamous for thousands of years and become a negative example for thousands of years!
