Chapter 398 Confrontation

Opening the curtain of the carriage, Situ Yan looked around and saw that Situ Wen, dressed in military uniform, was lying quietly on the carriage.

The horrific wound on his neck was still dripping with blood, and the color on his not-so-handsome face had long since faded.

Situ Yan watched quietly, her heart no longer disturbed.

Situ Yan understood when he swung the butcher knife to attack his unsuspecting father's family.

The uncle who once carried himself on his shoulders and ran wildly in the palace courtyard, riding on his neck to pick fruits, was already dead the moment he came into contact with politics.

Being born into a royal family, there is no family affection at all.

Now, he was silent and lying quietly in front of her. Situ Yan felt a trace of sadness in her heart, but it was not because of him.

Instead, he was moved by the scene and thought of his father and mother who died tragically.

"Huh..." Situ Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

Although she is not very old now, after such a long period of training, she is no longer the little girl who loves to cry.

After briefly calming down, Situ Yan carefully identified it to prevent anyone from getting stiff.

After confirming that this was Situ Wen himself, Situ Yan quickly returned to Ye Zhiyu and nodded: "It's him."

Ye Zhiyu also sighed slightly, they must have worked together for a while.

It's just that now, everyone belongs to two camps and are each other's enemies. The greatest respect for each other is to go all out.

Now that Situ Wen is dead, the last piece of land in Daxia has been lost.

The powerful Daxia Dynasty finally declared its demise.

Ye Zhiyu immediately sent people to bring Situ Wen's body back to the Chinese army's tent, and began to dispatch troops to Liangzhou City to take over the defense.

When the carriage carrying the corpses stopped at the army commander's tent, Nan Yanxi was still taking a nap.

When I heard that Liangzhou City had been captured, all the defenders surrendered, and Situ Wen committed suicide, I almost jumped out of bed with joy.

It's true that everyone pushed him against the wall. A king with such majesty ended up betraying his relatives and committing suicide by drawing his sword.

After just a brief glance, Nan Yanxi lost interest.

He waved his hand and asked people to take him down and give him a royal burial.

They were buried in a cemetery together with the previous emperors of the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions, the Great Khan of the Bari tribe in the North Plains, the Prince of the South China Sea Nan Yue Xi, etc.

Now, Daxia has finally been destroyed, and the Ming Empire has finally been firmly established.

After taking the body down, Nan Yanxi also started to get busy.

The original Liangzhou City garrison was removed from the old, weak and disabled, leaving only 30,000 elite troops, and then they were all dispersed.

Evenly incorporated into his own army of 150,000 and the 50,000 elites brought by Ye Zhiyu.

If they are dispersed in small proportions within their own troops, they will never cause any big waves again.

At the same time, 50,000 troops were left to guard Liangzhou City, and the other 150,000 troops were all sent to Liangguan.

Force the 20,000 defenders of this last remaining summer land to surrender.

...

At this time, in Liangguan, the defender general Chen Qi had not yet received the news that Liangzhou had been defeated and the emperor had died in battle.

Now, he was kneeling on the ground listening to the eunuch with a high-pitched voice read out the imperial edict.

The eunuch glanced at Chen Qi coldly and said in a sharp voice: "General Chen... The emperor has an order. Chen Qi, the guard general of Liangguan, will not obey the emperor's orders."

"He was timid and avoided fighting, refused to be loyal to the king, and intended to rebel! Now, Chen Qi will be removed from his official position and executed without mercy. The Liangguan garrison will be taken over by our family."

"Gather immediately and head to Liangzhou City, King Qin!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

All the troops started talking about it. Chen Qi had been the guard general of Liangguan for more than ten years. He came here since he was in his early twenties after passing the military examination.

From a minor general to the general of Liangguan, he is now almost forty years old.

Almost all the 20,000 elite officers in Liangguan were promoted by him, and almost all the soldiers were trained by him.

Nowadays, the country is in danger, suffering from internal and external troubles, and is on the verge of collapse.

When Chen Qi received Situ Wen's imperial edict asking him to go to Liangzhou City to serve the king, he was so anxious that he even gathered his troops overnight to prepare to abandon the pass and return.

It was only after the hard work of his generals and generals that he stopped him.

After all, Su Rile's 150,000 troops are now watching outside the pass and will attack the city at any time.

Liangzhou City in the south has nearly 200,000 enemy troops. Although the 20,000 of our own are elites, the gap in numbers is too big, and it will not help if we go there.

Moreover, the enemy troops outside the pass will easily capture the natural danger of Liangguan.

In this case, it is better to station here. Liangguan is known as the most powerful pass in the world. Although Surel outside the pass is powerful, it is not that easy to capture Liangguan.

The presence of 20,000 border troops here also made the enemy troops under Liangzhou City wary and did not dare to fully lay siege to the city.

In this way, at least a life channel can be preserved between Liangzhou City and Liangguan.

With such a layout, Chen Qi had already written a detailed memorial and submitted it to Situ Wen.

Even if he was beaten to death, he would not have expected that such a plan would lead to him being stripped of his official position and beheaded in public.

After reading the imperial edict, the eunuch handed it to Chen Qi. He hurriedly took it, opened it and read it carefully again, and suddenly collapsed on the ground as if struck by lightning.

Seeing that he was stunned and unresponsive, the eunuch waved his hand in disgust and ordered the imperial guard behind him: "Come on... take him away!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, several imperial guards drew their sabers and rushed towards Chen Qi.

However, although Chen Qi was in a daze, his subordinates were not.

From the moment the eunuch read out the imperial edict, several loyal officers already had their hands on the sword handles.

A few of them were astute and retreated without leaving a trace. They mobilized a large number of soldiers and surrounded them outside the house.

At this time, the eunuch suddenly shouted to take it down, and all the imperial guards stepped forward.

Suddenly someone in the crowd of Liangguan defenders was heard shouting: "Let me see who dares! Why don't you do it yet?!"

Without even making a move, the Liangguan soldiers present immediately drew their swords in their hands, protected Chen Qi behind them, and started to confront the imperial guards who rushed towards him.

"What are you doing! Don't move! Don't even move...!"

The two sides instantly became tense, and the sound of soldiers' armor was heard outside the palace gate. The Liangguan defenders also faced off with the two hundred imperial guards who came here.

However, due to the large number of defenders at Liangguan, a large number of reinforcements continued to arrive.

After a while, the imperial guards waiting outside the mansion were surrounded.

A large number of remaining border troops filed in, and in a moment the entire Liangguan guard's residence was filled with water, and the courtyard was filled with soldiers and generals.

The eunuch turned around in shock, and suddenly became frightened when he saw the huge crowd of people in Yuanbei and the unkind-looking border soldiers.

Somewhat frightened, he stuttered: "You...what do you want to do?"
