"What are you doing?" Among them, a frontier general with a rough expression snorted coldly.
"Of course I have to ask clearly! Why did my general commit such a crime?"
"You...are presumptuous!" The eunuch was shocked and angry, and he boldly shouted: "This is the holy will, and it is clearly written in the holy decree! Do you want to resist the decree?"
"Huh!" The general snorted, turned around and snatched the imperial edict from Chen Qi's hand.
"Of course I don't dare to resist the edict! But..." The general unfolded the edict, looked up and down, and sneered: "The words on it, it recognizes me and I don't recognize it!"
"How do I know whether this is an imperial edict or a forgery?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Qi behind him seemed to realize something and hurriedly shouted: "Wait..."
However, it was already too late. The arrogant general also had an impulsive and trouble-making character, so he just used both hands to force him.
There was only a "bah" sound, and the golden imperial edict was torn into two halves.
Then came four and a half, eight and a half, and sixteen and a half...then it flew up to the sky, and the imperial edict that symbolized the imperial power turned into rags all over the sky, fluttering down from the sky.
Chen Qi, the eunuch, and the imperial guards were all stunned.
Tearing up the imperial edict is a serious crime that will result in the whole family being executed, and the nine clans will be punished!
But the general didn't care about this. He had a character similar to Zhang Fei and Li Kui, so he didn't care about this.
As long as someone dares to do anything wrong to his eldest brother, even if he is the emperor in front of me, he will have to stop him!
What's more, now, he is not the only one who has other thoughts.
There are many resourceful people in the army, and they have discussed the current situation several times.
Everyone believes that the best way out at present is to negotiate peace with Ming Dynasty.
After all, the sun has set in Daxia, and Emperor Situ Wen is not a sage king.
As for the Ming Dynasty, everyone has heard about it for a long time. After all, among the 20,000 border troops, many people's homes are in the Ming Dynasty's occupied area.
The rapid implementation of various new policies that benefit the people, and the hard work and integrity of officials, large and small, have long spread throughout Liangguan.
Surel, who was outside the pass, also sent envoys many times to make peace and persuade them to surrender.
His words were extremely polite, leaving enough face for the Liangguan officers and soldiers, and he proposed a large number of conditions and guarantees that were beneficial to the Liangguan border troops.
If Chen Qi had not always been loyal to Daxia, the 20,000 border troops at Liangguan would have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty long ago.
Regarding today's situation, many people in the army have already predicted it and made arrangements in advance.
Especially since all the generals are old brothers who have followed Chen Qi for many years, knowing his character, they will definitely suffer.
So when the eunuch came with the imperial army today, all the generals had already made full preparations.
Letting this rough and arrogant general come out to do such a thing was also the result of everyone's discussion.
Seeing this, the eunuch panicked completely and pointed at Chen Qi tremblingly: "You...you...surnamed Chen! Are you going to rebel?"
"Misunderstanding, father-in-law...I..."
Chen Qi was shocked and was about to explain when he saw a white-faced young man rushing out of the crowd, pointing at the eunuch and yelling: "Pickled dog...!"
"You're right, grandpas want to rebel!"
Then he drew out his sword with a clang, stepped forward, and the sharp sword flashed with a cold light.
When everyone came to their senses, a trace of blood gradually appeared from the eunuch's throat.
The eunuch's eyes widened, as if he didn't want to believe that he had been fatally attacked, and he slowly reached out to touch his throat.
However, as soon as he touched it, the wound suddenly opened, and blood instantly poured out like a fountain...
The eunuch wanted to open his mouth to speak, but found that there was no sound at all, and blood kept pouring from the wound in his throat and mouth.
He shivered and stepped back, desperately covering the wound with both hands, and finally made a sound: "Heh...heh...".
The commander of the Royal Forest Army behind him hurriedly stepped forward to hold him in his arms, shouting anxiously: "Father...Father..."
However, the eunuch who was showing off his power just now gradually lost his sight, lost his vitality, and died...
"You...!" The commander of the Royal Forest Army was furious, drew his sword in his hand and shouted: "Traitor! Watch me take you!"
After saying this, he ordered the Imperial Guards to start fighting. The generals of the border troops also refused to give in. They unsheathed their bows and swords, and the battle was about to begin.
At this critical moment, an anxious shout suddenly came from outside the house door: "Report...report...Liangzhou military intelligence...report..."
The generals on both sides were stunned for a moment when they explained, and couldn't help but stop their movements.
Xun Sheng looked around and saw a messenger soldier staggering in. He knelt down directly to Chen Qi and said, "Report to the general... Liangzhou army invites you! It's urgent!"
Before he could think about it, Chen Qi hurriedly said: "Report quickly!"
The messenger soldier's words were full of anxiety and panic: "Report to the general... Liangzhou City... Liangzhou City has been destroyed!"
"All the defenders in the city rebelled and surrendered. Your Majesty, he...he..."
As soon as these words came out, the general of the Royal Forest Army suddenly became anxious and asked quickly: "What's wrong with him, Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty... committed suicide!" The messenger hesitated again and again, but finally said it.
Then he added: "All the 60,000 defenders in the city surrendered, including... including the Royal Forest Army..."
"Now Emperor Nan Yanxi of the Ming Dynasty is leading an army of 150,000 to press at Liangguan. In less than two days, he will be able to reach the city!"
After saying this, the room fell into silence. The officers and soldiers on both sides who had been tense just now lost the strength to hold their swords.
When guard Chen Qi heard the news, his eyesight turned black, his body swayed slightly, and then he suddenly fell backwards.
Thanks to the quick eyesight and quick hands of the soldiers, they were able to hold him up, pinch him, beat his chest and pour water on him, and then slow him down.
At this time, several wise men with great prestige in the border army stood up and saluted first to the general of the Royal Forest Army and then to Chen Qi.
One of the elders spoke first: "General...two generals...just listen to what I'm going to say next..."
"Now that things have happened, I know that both of you are loyal to the emperor and unyielding. However, now that things have happened, it is better for everyone to look at the reality first!"
"We, Daxia, are now dead both in name and in reality. The emperor's family members and heirs have all been killed by the traitor Xiang Tianxing."
"Even if the two generals are determined to help Daxia and rebuild the country, they may not be able to find anyone who can inherit the throne."
"Nowadays, the only bloodline of our royal family is the current noble concubine of the Ming Dynasty and the daughter of the crown prince, Princess Yanyang Situ Yan."
"Today, the world is divided into two parts. The Ming Dynasty monopolizes 80% of the land, and even Shangliangzhou has a total of 14 states. It has tens of millions of people under its command, including millions of people with armor!"
"In the victory of the military front, even the Xiang family's traitor army was no match for it, and the three kingdoms of the Western Regions were destroyed in an instant."
"I dare to ask these two generals... Even if they have the ambition to help Daxia and rebuild the country, do they have the ability to repel millions of Ming troops?"
