Chapter 3392 The Wise King Enters the Battlefield
"What?"
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, he was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Others also looked shocked and angry.
Grand Master Li Jin, Jiang Muyu, Dong Changfeng and others were worried and chilled when they heard this.
But Yun Qing's face became very ugly.
The messenger soldier added, "Not only that, but some of the food was moldy and rotten, making it impossible for the soldiers to eat it.
There are also weapons prepared, many of which are rusty and inferior goods that cannot be used on the battlefield.
The soldiers had no food to eat, and they couldn't fight when they were hungry. So when the enemy came over, we suffered countless casualties and blood flowed into rivers. Many soldiers were so hungry that they couldn't stand it anymore, so they simply abandoned their helmets and surrendered to the enemy. Some
More people became deserters and disappeared."
"How could this be true? How could it be true? How could it be like this?"
Emperor Hongyuan clutched his chest and was furious.
Then, he looked at Yun Qing and glared angrily, "Yun Qing, aren't you in charge of this matter of food and armaments?
How could something like this happen? I have already allocated the last money in the treasury to you, how could things become like this?"
After Yun Qing heard this, he immediately knelt down with a plop and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I've left the purchase of grain, grass and armaments to the people below. I don't know why it's like this.
It must be that those people took bribes, enriched their own pockets, and embezzled the money given by the emperor, which is why this happened."
At this time, Jiang Muyu immediately stepped forward and said angrily: "Your Majesty, we are facing a national crisis. These corrupt officials still want to take bribes. They even dare to embezzle the soldiers' food and grass. Your Majesty, please punish them severely."
Li Jin also said angrily: "Your Majesty, the matter of food and grass was left to Prime Minister Yun. Now that this kind of problem occurs, Prime Minister Yun must be held responsible."
Yun Qing burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, the people below must have embezzled money and enriched their own pockets. Please give me some time, your Majesty. I will definitely arrest them and bring them to justice!"
"More than just bringing him to justice?
These people dare to covet food and military pay. I want their lives! Yunqing, go and investigate this matter quickly. If you don't give me an explanation, I want your head!"
Emperor Hongyuan said angrily.
Yun Qing was so frightened that he quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, your Majesty, I will go check it out immediately."
The news that Li Linwei was defeated again spread throughout Chu State.
Seeing that the enemy's momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and the country was about to be destroyed, Dong Changfeng and the others could no longer bear it. They no longer cared about Emperor Hongyuan, and led 50,000 Xuance troops north to join the battle.
After Dong Changfeng and others left with their troops, Su Qishao and others also led their soldiers to the battlefield and joined the battle.
No one wants the country to perish, so they step forward one after another to defend the country.

Jiujue Peak, Shengling Palace
Shengling Palace is located on the highest peak of Jiujue Peak. It is a very dangerous place with steep mountains and cliffs.
At this time, the wise king was standing in front of a mountain peak, looking at the mountains in the distance.
Since resigning as the crown prince, he has not gone anywhere, but came to Shengling Palace.
Sheng Ling Palace is a sparsely populated place, and no one dares to disturb him, so he feels very peaceful here.
He was already tired of the prosperous worldly life, and felt that only this kind of place could make him feel at ease and meditate.
At this time, Chi Yuan led several people over and said, "Holy Lord, something big has happened in the Chu Kingdom!"
"What's up?"
Upon hearing this, King Xian's nerves immediately tensed up, and his whole body became tense.
Chi Yuan hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, Feng Lingtian, the crown prince of Tiansheng Kingdom, entangled Dongfang Wuxiang, Baili You and others, and they formed a five-nation coalition to attack the Chu Kingdom.
Now that they have occupied Yanzhou City and Youzhou City, and have successively invaded the hinterland of Chu State, I estimate that it will not be long before they invade Shengjing City and the imperial palace."
"What?
Feng Lingtian actually formed a coalition and invaded Chu?
So now, have we sent troops to resist, and how is the war going?"
The wise king said anxiously.
Now, his heart could no longer be at peace, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
Chi Yuan lowered his head and said sadly: "The emperor has already sent troops to resist. He first sent a hundred thousand troops, and finally the whole army was wiped out. Then he sent another 150,000 troops. As a result, the food and grass were tampered with, so these ten
The 50,000-strong army was also defeated.
The soldiers fled and died, and now there are not many people resisting the coalition forces."
"Has the grain and grass been tampered with?
Chiyuan, what on earth is going on?"
When the wise king heard this, he was extremely angry.
Chi Yuan said: "It's not all the fault of those corrupt officials. In order to be greedy for money, those corrupt officials passed off inferior goods as good ones, and even used sand disguised as grain and grass to transport to the battlefield.
Not only that, the weapons they prepared were also of inferior quality, and many of the weapons were rusty.
The soldiers did not have enough to eat, and they did not have good weapons to use, so of course they could not defeat the enemy, so many soldiers lost their lives in vain, and we also lost many cities."
"What?
These corrupt officials are simply too much!"
The wise king said in a cold voice, "Chiyuan, I can't just watch Feng Lingtian invade our country. I want to go down the mountain immediately to resist the enemy."
Chi Yuan immediately said: "Okay, Holy Lord, Holy Lord, Holy Ling Palace also supports you.
We will go with you to drive away these enemies and avenge the soldiers!"
Seeing Chi Yuan's determined look, the wise king was deeply moved.
At the critical moment of life and death, even Chiyuan knew that he had to defend the country and drive away the enemy, but those corrupt officials filled their own pockets and transported food and grass mixed with sand to the soldiers.
Those corrupt officials are really not as good as these reckless people.

In this way, King Xian and Chiyuan summoned everyone in the Shengling Palace. Everyone prepared their own dry food, luggage and weapons, and rushed to the battlefield together to fight with the enemy.
But war is cruel and bloody.
Because there are too many enemy troops, and there are only about 10,000 people in Shengling Palace now, they are no match for the enemy troops.
After several wars, Sheng Ling Palace suffered countless casualties and blood flowed into rivers. In the end, only a few hundred people survived.
Seeing the blood and corpses all over the ground, the Xian Wang's eyes turned red.
He originally brought everyone to save the country, but he didn't expect that so many lives were lost in the end.
Fortunately, everyone's heroic resistance temporarily delayed the enemy and prevented them from advancing too fast.
The wise king also fainted on the battlefield because he was too seriously injured.
Seeing King Xian fainted in a pool of blood, Chi Yuan, who was covered in blood, also stopped fighting. He quickly took several of his confidants to rescue King Xian and took King Xian away from the battlefield.
At this time, the wise king was covered in wounds and had lost too much blood.
Chi Yuan quickly found a carriage, put King Xian on the carriage, and bandaged him casually.
Then, he wanted to take the wise king to where he was injured.
After thinking for a while, he looked in the direction of Shengjing City and sighed softly.
For King Xian, Shengjing City is his home. He should take King Xian back to Shengjing City and find a doctor for him in Shengjing City.
