Chapter 8 How Can Both Hands Be Empty

Soldiers and horses were scattered out like a tide, and then brought back like a tide, and the atmosphere in the golden tent became suffocating.

Ankang Shan's face on the dragon throne was cold and scary, but in order to avoid more scary consequences, everyone still had to speak.

"Your Majesty." A general stood up and lowered his head and said, "Wu Ya'er is deliberately tempting us to attack. The purpose is to make it easier for Mrs. Chu to attack the capital."

Ankang Mountain was angry, not only because Wu Ya'er was unable to capture it for a long time, but also because he received news that the Lady of Chu was attacking the capital.

They expected that Mrs. Chu would send troops, and they were prepared. However, they did not expect that Mrs. Chu would not come to attack them, but to attack the capital.

"It seems that Wu Ya'er's purpose in luring us out of the capital was this." Another general said, "The couple are making claims in the east and attacking in the west."

"That's right, Wu Ya'er originally guarded the river defense line, but suddenly he let go." Someone pointed at the map, "It was clearly because he heard that Mrs. Chu was attacking the capital, so he deliberately tried to tie us up."

Although Ankangshan's face looked ugly, he did not stop after listening to what they said, and even asked: "Then what do you think we should do now?"

Several generals looked at each other, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, withdraw your troops and return to defend the capital."

Ankangshan looked at them and asked: "Then do you think I can't kill Wu Ya'er, or that I can't defend the capital?"

Several generals looked at each other.

"No, no, Your Majesty, I don't think so."

"Your Majesty will definitely be able to kill Wu Ya'er."

"If your Majesty returns to defense, he can also kill Mrs. Chu."

"It's really out of fear of Your Majesty that Wu Ya'er and Mrs. Chu did this."

Ankang Shan said: "If I retreat now, although I can't kill Wu Ya'er, can the capital be saved? Wu Ya'er and Mrs. Chu's wife stole the couple's bamboo basket and everything was in vain."

Several people nodded, "Your Majesty is wise!" "Exactly so!"

Before they could finish their words, a knife was thrown down from the dragon chair and chopped into pieces on the ground in front of them. Several of them instantly soaked their armor with sweat and banged their heads on the ground with a thud.

Ankang Mountain roared like thunder and crashed down from above.

"Then have you ever thought about it, I am also trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain!"

"I have been strategizing for so long and have killed so many soldiers and horses. Now that I am retreating, I cannot kill Wu Ya'er."

"If I withdraw my troops, I can save the capital."

"Damn it! The capital belongs to me!"

"Then tell me, what did I get this time?"

He stepped down from the dragon chair, step by step, the ground shook, walked to those people, and stretched out his palms.

"Look, are I empty-handed?"

Everyone in the camp knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm down" and "I am guilty."

Ankang Shan stood up straight and looked down at him coldly: "You are indeed guilty. Your crime is fear of war."

Ankangshan was angry and threw down his sword, but he didn't kill anyone. This shows that he was really angry and wanted to convince everyone.

Then a general raised his head and said in tears: "I'm not afraid of fighting, I'm just worried about being deceived by Wu Ya'er and his wife..."

Ankangshan interrupted him: "What is my purpose before going on the expedition?"

The purpose of the expedition... The general was stunned for a moment before replying: "Kill Wu Ya'er."

Ankang Shan said: "Can we kill Wu Ya'er?"

The general straightened his back and said loudly: "Yes!"

Ankangshan looked at him and asked: "Why?"

Ankangshan is a suspicious, angry, mean and ungrateful person, but he is not a fool. When he doesn't want to, no one can deceive him and make him happy by just saying a few words.

The general knew this very well and did not hesitate to tell the reasons why his troops had the upper hand. Wu Ya'er had no reinforcements, and the retreating city seemed strong, but without water and food it would be a hell. In the end, without them fighting, the people in the city would

The man eats the horse first and then the man...

"So there is no doubt that Your Majesty will kill Wu Ya'er."

Ankangshan reached out and patted his face: "So, how can I be deceived? My purpose is to kill Wu Ya'er. If I kill him, I will be successful! All my wishes have come true, and I am satisfied!"

The general kowtowed loudly: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

The generals did not dare to speak, but a civil servant came out and said: "Your Majesty, if the capital is lost..."

"Even if the capital is lost, as long as I kill Wu Ya'er." Ankangshan shouted, "No one in the world can stop me anymore, and the same is true for the capital!"

Another civil servant came out and said: "Actually, I think everyone is overthinking it, as if the capital has been captured by Mrs. Chu. In fact, how can the capital be lost so easily?"

All the civil servants and generals in the camp looked at him.

"Although the eldest son and Prince Zheng were blocked by the white-robed army and the soldiers and horses of the South Road, our capital is not without soldiers and horses." The civil servant looked around at everyone, "Your Majesty was on guard before leaving, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were left in the capital.

Well, it’s not like an empty city is defenseless.”

There was a buzz of discussion in the camp.

There are troops and horses left in the capital, but it is said that the Lady of Chu has spent all her troops...

"Everyone, everyone." Wen Chen said again, waving his sleeves to signal everyone to be quiet, "Also, have you forgotten that this is the capital city, the largest city in the world, the city is high and thick, and there is endless water and food in the city.

If you run out of food and clothes, you won't be able to wear enough clothes. As long as you hold on to the city, no soldiers or horses can break it."

After he said this, all eyes fell on him, and then on Ankang Mountain...

The civil servant was not panicked, but smiled calmly.

"Your Majesty was able to enter the capital because the late emperor was killed and the traitors fled in fear of the crime. The people opened the doors to welcome him." He bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for the offence. If Cui thief kidnapped the late emperor and ordered the troops to defend the city, your majesty would probably return the favor at this time."

Being blocked from the capital city, I cannot help the late emperor solve his problems."

Ankangshan laughed: "There's nothing offensive about this, it's a fact!"

Tears welled up in his eyes again.

"That was the late emperor's capital city, and the late emperor is still looking at it from heaven!"

He gritted his teeth.

"The late Emperor was harmed by traitors such as King Cui Zhenglu and Wu Ya'er. I will never give up until I kill these traitors!"

The civil servants and generals in the camp had nothing to say at this time, and shouted in unison, "Kill the thief!"

Compared with before, the momentum is great.

"Kill Wu Ya'er first," a general shouted, "and then kill his wife!"

Yes, everyone was shocked and confused when Mrs. Chu did not save her husband but raided the capital. Why should we be nervous and scared? The capital can be defeated if it is said to be beaten?

After they kill Wu Ya'er, Mrs. Chu will just be working in vain outside the capital.

After the rebellion, Ankang Mountain chopped mountains and seas and rushed directly into the capital. The officials and soldiers of Daxia who were originally in the capital all ran away, while the officials and soldiers of Daxia from other places didn't have a chance to come in. This capital can be said to be the first time

They held it in their hands and built a wall of copper and iron.

Attack the city? How long can she attack? The capital can be defended forever.

"Either she gets her wings and flies in." A civil servant laughed, "Or the city gate opens for her, otherwise she won't be able to enter the capital even with her soldiers."

Loud laughter and strange screams rang out in the camp.

"Then she is truly a fairy!"

"Let us kill the immortal's husband first, and then go see the immortal!"

...

...

In the capital city with high walls and deep walls, the spring night wind seems to be filled with the smell of blood.

With the sound of bangs, the illuminated house facade suddenly fell into darkness, and the cries of the children who were noisy at night seemed to be blocked. Cats, dogs, and even insects on the spring night held their breath and kept silent.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard on the bluestone road, which was particularly permeable in the silence and darkness. Suddenly, the night patrol horses stopped, and the torches shone over.

"Who is that?" shouted Yinhan, who came over with a knife and a gun.

In the darkness on the street, a man holding a dim yellow lamp hurriedly raised his hands: "Master Jun, Master Jun, it's me, I'm on duty."

The torch illuminated a thin man. The man was dressed in cloth and had a big word "clock" on his chest. He was holding a lamp in one hand and a clapper and gong in the other.

"Where is the waist card?" The leading general did not let him go and looked at him coldly and asked.

The thin man hurriedly took off his waistband and handed it over respectfully and tremblingly, muttering something like, "Master Soldier, I was the earliest watchman." "Fourth Master Jiang is my boss" and so on.

The general ignored his words, took the badge and read out the name "Axi" under the light of the torch. The soldier on the other side took a book and looked through it: "There is this person." Then he squinted and looked at this person.

The watchman nodded after confirming that it was the same as the portrait on the brochure.

The general threw the badge back.

"Be alert," he warned, "if anything goes wrong, sound the gong immediately."

Ah Xi responded repeatedly.

The general turned his horse's head to patrol the other side. The fire gradually faded away, but the sound of horse hooves seemed to linger far and near.

Ah Xi continued to walk, banging his clapper and shouting warnings, and stopped in front of a house door in the darkness. He blew out the lantern in his hand, reached out and knocked on the door three times.

The door opened in response, and Ah Xi stepped inside. A pair of eyes shone brightly in the dark room.

"How is the situation?" A low voice sounded with a suppressed breath, "When will we take action?"
