"Your Majesty, an imperial edict has come from the capital!"
At this moment, Mo Zhu's voice came from outside.
Chu Xuanchen immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "What imperial edict?"
At this time, Mo Zhu had already led several soldiers in.
As soon as these soldiers walked in, they hurriedly bowed to Chu Xuanchen and said, "See His Highness Prince Li."
After the salute, one of the leading soldiers quickly unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and read loudly: "By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that Feng Lingtian, the crown prince of Tiansheng Kingdom, is entangled with the five-nation coalition to attack. I order Li.
Wang Chuxuanchen quickly led the Zhennan Army to Beijing to discuss with me the strategy of retreating from the enemy.
After King Li receives the imperial edict, he must set out immediately without any delay, I appreciate this!"
After reading the imperial edict, the soldier loudly said, "Your Highness King Li, now Feng Lingtian's coalition forces have arrived. Your Majesty wants you to enter King Qin Jing as quickly as possible and set off immediately without any mistakes!"
After hearing what the soldier said, Moli and others were very angry.
Emperor Hongyuan actually used such an ordering and threatening tone to ask their princes to go to Qinwang.
At this time, he is still assuming a high and imperial posture, which makes people sound very uncomfortable.
Is this the attitude of asking for help?
When Chu Xuanchen heard the content of the imperial edict, his face suddenly turned cold.
Emperor Hongyuan, when he was no longer needed, he drove his whole family to this desolate and remote place, hoping that they would fend for themselves.
Now that you need him, come and order him to help.
Does he think that Chu Xuanchen is the kind of person who can come and go as soon as he is summoned?
At this time, the soldier folded the imperial edict and handed it to Chu Xuanchen, "Your Highness Prince Li, please accept the edict."
Chu Xuanchen stood up coldly, with his hands behind his back, full of arrogance, "I'm sorry, I don't accept the order."
"Why?
Do you dare not listen to the emperor’s decree?”
The soldier was shocked.
Chu Xuanchen said coldly: "It's not that I don't listen, it's because I am powerless and cannot help the emperor."
After that, he added: "In this case, you go back and tell the emperor that our army in South Vietnam is weak with only a few generals. Coupled with the lack of military pay and lack of food and grass, it is really difficult for me to take on the big responsibility. Please choose another Gaoming!"
"
"This..." The soldier's face suddenly turned pale, and several other soldiers also looked horrified.
Unexpectedly, His Highness King Li did not agree to come to Beijing to serve as King Qin.
The soldier hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now the coalition forces have attacked Qizhou. If no one stops them, they will soon attack the capital and the palace. You are the only one who can save the emperor!"
Chu Xuanchen curled his lips coldly, "I have said that it is not that I am unwilling to protect the emperor, but that I am powerless."
"But……"
"Okay! The king's meaning has been made very clear, you don't need to say any more!"
The soldier wanted to speak again, but was coldly interrupted by Chu Xuanchen.
When the soldier saw this, he had no choice but to say: "Okay then, the young man will send someone back to recover first."
After finishing speaking, several soldiers quickly left the county government office.
Seeing their hurried backs, Chu Xuanchen's eyes were full of coldness.
Emperor Hongyuan should have thought that this day would come when he demoted him to South Vietnam.
At this time, Mo Zhu saw this and said with a worried look on his face: "My lord, are you really not going to lead troops to Beijing to protect the emperor?"
Feng Qingyang immediately said: "Mo Zhu, you have been with the prince for so long, why don't you understand him?
How could he not come to Beijing?
However, he only went to protect the people of Chu State, and the life and death of that dog emperor has nothing to do with us."
Chu Xuanchen reached out and patted Feng Qingyang on the shoulder, "Military advisor, you still understand me.
This king will never allow Feng Lingtian to take away an inch of Chu State's land, nor will I allow him to harm any of our people in Chu State.
As for the life and death of that faint king, what does it have to do with me?"
Moreover, he and Emperor Hongyuan had a grudge against him for killing his father and mother.
He has not avenged his parents, so how could he protect such an enemy?
Hearing what the two of them said, Mo Zhu scratched his head in embarrassment, and then laughed dryly and said: "Hey, I knew that the prince would not not go. The prince cares about the people the most!"
"Okay! The coalition forces have arrived. We must prepare quickly and set off as soon as we are ready."
Chu Xuanchen said.
Yun Ruoyue nodded immediately, "Well, the coalition forces are large in number, with a total of 250,000 people. It seems that we have to hurry up and make more firearms.
As long as there are enough firearms, no matter how large the enemy's numbers are, they are no match for us."
"Yes, then let's quickly mobilize the soldiers and prepare firearms.
In addition, we also need to reorganize our armaments and prepare food, grass and other logistical supplies, and we can only set off after everything is ready."
Chu Xuanchen said.
This war is not a child's play, and it cannot be started just by setting off.
If food, grass, and armaments do not keep up, even if everyone can set out, they will die.
So of course we have to get everything in order before we can go into battle.
After everyone discussed it, Yun Ruoyue quickly led the soldiers to start making firearms.
In ancient times, cold weapons were the main means of fighting. Now that they have powerful firearms like Zhentianlei, they are really more powerful, and they can fight even more skillfully.
Therefore, even if the enemy army has 250,000 people and their Zhennan Army only has 50,000 people, Yun Ruoyue is not afraid because they have advanced weapons that no one else has.
Just like modern warfare, the battle is not about numbers, but weapons and equipment.
As long as there are advanced and sophisticated high-tech weapons, it will be easy to fight a war even if there are few people.
So she has to work hard to invent more powerful weapons, and she must have powerful weapons in hand to win steadily.
—
Chu Xuanchen was stepping up his efforts to make firearms, while on the other side, the messenger soldiers had already brought his reply back to the Chu State Palace.
When Emperor Hongyuan heard that Chu Xuanchen was unwilling to come to the capital to help him, his face was suddenly filled with dark clouds, as if a mountain rain was about to come.
Hearing a "pop" sound, Emperor Hongyuan slapped his palm on the imperial case, and then said angrily, "This is unreasonable. This Chu Xuanchen, I asked him to come to the capital to serve as king, and he dared to find excuses to shirk it. How brave he is!
"
Yun Qing, Su Ming and other ministers were listening nearby, with different expressions on their faces.
Yun Qing immediately said: "Your Majesty, how dare Chu Xuanchen disobey the emperor's orders? He doesn't take you seriously at all."
"That's right, does he want to rebel?"
King Yan said sharply.
Su Ming stood beside him without saying a word. He shook his head and no one could tell what he was thinking.
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan said angrily: "This Chu Xuanchen, I think he just wants to rebel! The enemy is about to invade, but he is still unmoved. He doesn't take me as the emperor seriously at all!"
Yun Qing rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, how dare Chu Xuanchen disobey the Emperor's orders again. Since such a person cannot help the Emperor, he is a useless person.
In my opinion, such a person cannot be retained, so the emperor might as well issue an imperial edict to arrest him and bring him to the capital, and then punish him with death!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Chu Xuanchen has 50,000 Zhennan troops, but they don't come to help the Emperor. He clearly has a disobedient heart.
If such people are not eradicated as soon as possible, they will become a serious problem for the emperor sooner or later!"
King Yan said.
After hearing the words of the two men, Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes coldly, with murderous intent bursting out of his eyes.
