Seeing reinforcements coming from their side, not only did King Xie Wu appear, but two major reinforcements also arrived. Yang Lin, Yang Guang and others were relieved, but they were lucky and did not want to fight.
Normally, everyone knows that the retreating enemy army is the best time to hunt down and weaken it.
However, the enemy army at this time withdrew early, rather than being defeated and retreated, and the effect would be greatly reduced. Another reason is that the enemy army is not weak, and there are too many strong ones, more than the Sui army here, and they are chasing and killing them.
If so, the loss would be hard to estimate, and now Yang Guang can’t afford to be hurt!
Ten thousand Xiaoguo Holy Guards and two hundred thousand forbidden troops suffered nearly half of the casualties after the battle in Yangzhou.
After this ambush battle, nearly half of the soldiers were killed again.
Now there are only more than 3,000 Xiaoguo Holy Guards and more than 40,000 Imperial Guards left. The losses have indeed been heavy. Yang Guang can no longer and does not dare to suffer any more heavy casualties!
As an emperor, the most important thing is not the number of troops and strong men in your power, but the number of loyal people around you.
Nowadays, rebel armies are everywhere, and the war is burning in the sky. The only troops that Yang Guang trusts are Xiaoguo Holy Guards and part of the Forbidden Army. Even the masters in the palace, worshipers, etc., he doesn't trust much. After all, the relationship between those people and the Jianghu forces is not as good as Qiansi's.
Thousands of threads.
Last but not least, if the holy guards and imperial troops around the emperor are too few in number and too weak in strength, they will not be enough to frighten the world and the ministers.
If the Holy Guards of Xiaoguo and the Forbidden Army of the Great Sui Dynasty had not fought tooth and nail to protect them in this battle and were in sufficient numbers, even ten Yang Guang would have been killed!
"call……"
When Yang Guang, Yang Lin and others breathed a sigh of relief, Eunuch Qiu, who was suspended in the void, suddenly fell, shocking everyone.
When he landed, he staggered to his feet, his spirit, aura, momentum and other factors were obviously much weaker.
Who is Eunuch Qiu?
Recognized as the strongest person in the world.
He couldn't even maintain his suspension in the void, so one can imagine the seriousness of his injuries.
Eunuch Qiu is rarely injured when his cultivation level reaches the level of Eunuch Qiu. However, if he is injured, it is difficult to recover. Even useful elixirs are rare. After all, the most advanced elixirs are heaven-level. In addition, Eunuch Qiu is good at speed.
Instead of refining the body, life, etc., once injured, it is more difficult to recover!
Eunuch Qiu was seriously injured while trying to protect Yang Guang during the Tianjiang attack. Then, before his injuries healed, he was severely injured again in the Yangzhou battle. Now he gritted his teeth and took action again, and because Wu Xin delayed the action, he withstood the siege of three immortal-level figures.
Even if you don’t die, your fortune will be great!
The most powerful man in the world, the Sui Immortal Qiu Eunuch, ended up in such a situation.
Countless people are in disbelief, countless people are sad, countless people are panic-stricken, countless people are in despair...
This "King Conference" wiped out most of the anti-military forces and achieved fruitful results. However, Eunuch Qiu, the pillar of the Sui Dynasty, was severely damaged. The "Xiaoguo Holy Guard", the first army in the world, was almost crippled, and only a few 200,000 elite imperial troops remained.
To a quarter, the cost is huge!
"Report to Your Majesty! The rebellious ministers and traitors are so bold, they really deserve death. As long as Your Majesty enters Jiangdu, everything will be fine. We sincerely ask Your Majesty to allocate part of Jiangdu's reinforcements so that we can gather the reinforcements from all directions and pursue the rebels with all our strength.
"
Seeing Eunuch Qiu's condition, Wu Xin was furious, filled with righteous indignation and murderous intent. He asked Yang Guang for instructions. After a pause, he continued:
"This time should be the time when the world's rebel armies gather together at their maximum. Every additional person killed will reduce the flames of war. This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back!"
"Um?!"
Yang Guang, who was panicked and worried about Eunuch Qiu's situation, his face darkened and he stared at Wu Xin with sharp eyes.
Didn’t King Xiewu hear his edict?!
He has already issued an order to withdraw his troops, but King Xiewu still asks for a fight? Is this a provocation from King Xiewu to him?!
However, what Wu Xin said was true. Everyone knew that Yang Guang really didn’t know how to refute it. He couldn’t say that he didn’t want to fight or that the Holy Guard and the Forbidden Army would suffer casualties again?!
Give him the guards and imperial guards!
"Your Majesty has fulfilled his promise during the Battle of Yangzhou, and with this achievement, we will receive a big reward! A big reward!"
When Yang Guang's face turned ugly, Eunuch Qiu weakly and secretly transmitted the message. Yang Guang's expression changed, and he heard Eunuch Qiu's message again:
"The old slave is incompetent and will not be able to take action in the short term. Now, the only person around the Holy Lord who can contain and intimidate the Taoist Immortals and Huixin is King Xiewu. In addition, the current situation in the Sui Dynasty cannot be separated from the support of King Xiewu. What does he want now?
Just give me whatever you want, and the world will be stable in the future. The higher you climb, the harder you fall!"
Others were not clear about it, but Eunuch Qiu knew clearly that Evil Martial King Wu Xin had arrived at the battlefield a long time ago. With the speed of Evil Martial King, it was normal for him to arrive when the enemy was ambushing him. However, Evil Martial King did not take action until the army from Prince Wu's Mansion arrived.
It seemed that he was trying to repeat his old trick and sneak attack on the enemy's immortal figure, but he was injured more seriously. His vitality and origin were damaged in a short time, and he also caused heavy casualties to the imperial court.
To say that King Xiewu is unfaithful is not like it, otherwise King Xiewu would just not save him or save him more slowly, and no one would be able to fault him!
After much deliberation, it was only Yang Guang who kept his words and made King Xie Wu feel resentful!
"Those who can resist the three rebels will be awarded the lowest title of nobility and become an official...the official will be promoted to the third level. If the prince takes action, he will be promoted to a prince and a county."
During the decisive battle at Yangzhou City Gate, this was Yang Guang's public oracle under his madness.
The following words were obviously meant for King Xie Wu who did not show up at the time.
After the war, Yang Guang pretended to be crazy and selectively forgotten. Because of this, he did not visit the "seriously injured" King Xie Wu in person, nor did he even leave Yangzhou City.
"King Wu is loyal to the king and the country, and his achievements are unparalleled. I am very pleased. Originally, I wanted to return to Jiangdu, and then confer King Wu on, and announce it to the world. Now it is just right..."
With Yang Guang's wisdom, Eunuch Qiu said it so straightforwardly. Naturally, he understood instantly and thought more. The anger in his eyes flashed away, and he suddenly spoke loudly with relief and appreciation on his face.
It was a taboo for emperors of all dynasties to confer a king with a different surname, and they would try their best not to do so if they could.
A prince with a different surname is unprecedented. This is a sensitive orthodox title that can inherit the throne. If he dies...
In Yang Guang's mind, this is similar to being forced into a palace, but he has no choice...
"King Wu listened to the title..."
Now that he had decided, Yang Guang was very decisive, looking at Wu Xin with a smile of appreciation and shouting.
"Think twice, Your Majesty! With the grace of the Holy One, a humble minister has devoted himself to death and died, but he is even more frightened! Since ancient times, there has never been a prince with a different surname, and there has never been a person who gave the surname. How can a humble minister be virtuous? Everything is the duty of a minister, and a humble minister
I will never dare to take credit, otherwise... Under the Nine Springs, I will not have the face to meet my ancestors, ancestors, emperors and sages. The Holy Saint is kind and merciful, and the world will worship him. But... please understand, otherwise... I will have no choice but to commit suicide.
Thank you world!"
Wu Xin didn't hear Eunuch Qiu's message, but he immediately fell to his knees with fear on his face and shouted sincerely with a firm tone and a pleading look on his face.
Feng Prince?!
Just kidding, that's killing your own future. Wu Xin really doesn't want it, he's not being modest.
"Why……"
Yang Guang's eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief secretly. However, he sighed in embarrassment, shook his head helplessly and said:
"King Wu has said this, which makes me very embarrassed! In this case, I will make Aiqing the King of Zhennan and the Unparalleled King of Wu. He will enjoy the title and treatment of double princes, and he will live in... Danyang County; I will grant the title of Shangzhu Kingdom...
