Xiao Shaorong was ready for everything. He only needed the prince's morale. As soon as the prince came back, they could start the war.
Xiao Shaorong and his party thought that the prince had sent a message, asking them to be prepared and that he would be back soon, but they didn't want to...
On their way back, the prince and Ji Yunkai met Ji Xin who had escaped from prison.
Ji Xin took advantage of Nagaze's trust and intolerance towards her, and quietly took Nagaze away. In the blink of an eye, the prince and Ji Yun found that their son was missing, and they almost went crazy...
Don't mention the rush back. The prince and Ji Yunkai didn't care about that at all. They searched for traces all the way to find Ji Xin and Changze. While the prince and Ji Yunkai were busy looking for Changze, Nan Jinzhao
Shamelessly, in the name of Emperor Tianqi, he sent troops to attack the prince's territory.
The most shameful thing was that many forces responded, and the loudest among them was Emperor Tianwu.
I don’t know what kind of stupefying drugs Nan Jinzhao gave him. Not long after Emperor Tianwu took hold of the power, he cooperated with Nan Jinzhao.
Although Tianwu's strength is not as good as before, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Emperor Tianwu still has 700,000 to 800,000 troops and horses, plus the troops and horses in Nan Jinzhao's hands. Together, the two sides can't make up for it.
An army of millions.
Although the prince has many soldiers and horses, most of them are scattered to various cities to defend the city. Even if they have made preparations for war, they only have more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, compared with Nan Jinzhao and Emperor Tianwu's million-strong army.
, there is really no way to compare.
An army of one million people is as majestic as a rainbow.
Not to mention the current King of Yanbei, even when Yanbei was at its peak, he could not withstand the attack of a million-strong army.
Although the Yanbei army is strong and can fight ten against one, they are humans, not gods. They will get tired and cannot keep fighting. The most important thing is that the Yanbei army, which can fight one against ten, only has tens of thousands left. Why?
Fighting an army of millions?
"It's simply crazy... Your Majesty, his brain was bitten by a dog or squeezed by a door. Is he crazy?" He actually let Tianwu's army enter Tianqi. It was simply stupid.
Emperor Tianwu said that he only used the road to attack King Yanbei, but does anyone believe this statement?
Borrowing a way?
If I borrow this Dao, will Tianwu return it?
Will a city that has been occupied by a large army retreat?
Moreover, the battlefield is in Tianqi. After the war, what else will Tianqi have?
When the people are in trouble and there is no one in the country, can Apocalypse still arise?
Your Majesty, this is a road of self-destruction, to destroy Tianqi!
Xiao Shaorong was angry and angry, but more disappointed.
He didn't mind if the emperor fought with them or fought with them. He would feel strange if the emperor didn't fight or fight with them.
How could a person who became an emperor be willing to give up? It is normal for an emperor to struggle to the death and refuse to admit defeat, but...
He could not accept that the emperor of a country sold his country and his people for the sake of power and status.
The emperor's cooperation with Nan Jinzhao has greatly disappointed the people of Tianqi, and now they have led the Tianwu army into the country. What is the emperor going to do?
The ministers in Beijing also wanted to ask the emperor, what on earth is he going to do?
But, they can’t ask!
Nan Jinzhao said that the emperor was ill, and then no one could see the emperor again, and no one could enter the palace. The old ministers who accompanied the emperor back to Beijing no longer had to deal with government affairs. All matters were handled by Nan Jinzhao's people.
deal with.
Nan Jinzhao accepted everything left by Emperor Tianqi. All orders he sent were stamped with Tianqi's jade seal and were issued in the name of Tianqi Kingdom, including cooperation with Emperor Tianwu.
The officials who accompanied the emperor back to the city were not stupid. They didn't know that their emperor was under house arrest by Nan Jinzhao, but...
So what if you know?
They have no soldiers in their hands, and all the soldiers and horses in the capital are in the hands of Nan Jinzhao. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy.
Nan Jinzhao controlled the emperor and the entire imperial city. No one dared to confront him, and those who were dissatisfied were killed by him.
Nan Jinzhao, who controlled the imperial city, issued letters of credence to Emperor Tianwu, Beichen Tianque and others in the name of Tianqi, seeking cooperation to jointly deal with King Yanbei and divide Tianqi.
Yes, carve up the apocalypse!
Nan Jinzhao wrote very well in his credential that he was willing to share Tianqi with Emperor Tianwu and Beichen Tianque, but the condition was that they jointly send troops to attack King Yanbei.
Of course, Nan Jinzhao did not write it in his name. In the name of Emperor Tianqi, he issued such an imperial edict that was insulting to the country. Even if the world knew that Nan Jinzhao controlled all this, the infamy was attributed to Tianqi.
The emperor carried it.
Emperor Tianqi is naturally not innocent. If he hadn't led the wolf into the house, Nan Jinzhao would not have been able to control him. He acted in the name of Emperor Tianqi. No one sympathized with him, and Xiao Shaorong didn't sympathize with him either. He was just angry, he just hated...
The emperor they once served turned out to be such a useless coward.
Fortunately, after the credentials were sent out, only Emperor Tianwu responded and Beichen Tianque did not respond. Otherwise, Xiao Shaorong would collapse in the face of the joint attack of the three parties...
"Your Majesty, when will you come back? If you don't come back, we won't be able to hold on anymore." But even like this, Xiao Shaorong also felt huge pressure. Before the battle even started, he became uneasy.
Facing the million-strong army of Nan Jinzhao and Emperor Tianwu, he was not afraid, what he was afraid of was...
The prince cannot come back in time to take charge of the overall situation.
Without the prince, the people below cannot feel at ease. If the prince comes back, even if they only have 200,000 people, they will still have the courage to fight against a million-strong army.
However, even though Tianwu and Nan Jinzhao launched their troops with great fanfare, no news came from their prince.
At this moment, for them, no news is the worst news.
With such a big thing happening, it's normal that the prince won't be able to come back in time, but the news can always be spread, right?
If even a piece of news can't be sent back, it can only mean that... something happened to their prince!
Not only Xiao Shaorong understood this truth, but also the generals and soldiers below him.
There were millions of troops approaching, and the prince's whereabouts were unknown. For a moment, everyone in the army was uneasy, and many even wanted to defect. If Yanbei's army hadn't found out in time, a big incident might have happened.
"The armies of Nan Jinzhao and Tianwu are still three days away from us. If nothing unexpected happens, we will face an attack by a million troops in three days. Should we fight or not?" Since Nan Jinzhao and Tianwu joined forces,
So far, it has been more than twenty days, and there is still no news about their prince...
Although they were ready for the battle, they had not received any news from the prince, so they really had no confidence.
"Fight! I would rather die than surrender!" Xiao Shaorong said without hesitation.
"The prince has not come back, so we have no chance of winning." The general below closed his eyes and looked helpless.
It's not that they don't want to fight, it's really...
Facing an army of millions, even they themselves have no confidence. How can they make the people below have the confidence to fight against them? (To be continued)
