Chapter 496 The bad news came, the whole country was shocked
Two days later.
Tiger Roaring Imperial City.
A wedding event that attracted the whole city's attention came to an end. Chu Feifan, Huo Qubing, Shan Li, and Ying Li discussed it and finally decided to place the wedding venue in the Imperial Garden in the west of the city.
At noon.
All officials and generals at all levels came as scheduled to attend the wedding of Huo Qubing and Ying Li. Outside the imperial garden, there was a lot of traffic and a sea of people.
The garden was very lively, with people singing and dancing, hundreds of officials came with congratulatory gifts, and they were chatting happily in twos and threes.
The good and auspicious time was about to come, and a high-pitched voice spread, Chu Feifan and Nangong Xi were seen arriving in costumes. All the officials nodded and bowed, and the two of them moved into the hall.
After Xiao Guizi read out the awards for Chu Feifan and Nangong Xi, they ranked first together with Shan Li, Fang Xuanling, Zhang Liang and others.
soon.
The two groups of newlyweds rushed in, and the noisy atmosphere in the imperial garden was instantly quiet. Huo Qubing and Ying Li were full of heroic spirit, with straight and strong figures. Although the two brides could not see their stunning faces, their auras on their beautiful figures were indeed luxurious and dignified.
.
Shan Yushu watched her two sisters getting married, with a happy smile on her pretty face. But when her eyes rested on the figures of Emperor Chu and Nangong Xi, the smile disappeared from her face, and she looked sad and ashamed.
Look.
"The auspicious time has arrived, and the two new teams begin to worship heaven and earth!"
Xiao Guizi's slender voice echoed over the imperial garden. A satisfied smile appeared on Shan Li's resolute face. The two beloved daughters were married to young warriors. He kept looking at Huo Qubing and Ying Li, and nodded gently.
Just when the wedding was taking place.
There were less than ten scouts on the long street of the imperial capital. Under the leadership of the general who defended the city, they crossed the long street, galloped on horseback, and rushed towards the west garden of the city.
The horses galloped wildly, the flags erected on the armor behind the scouts made a clattering sound, and there were anxious looks on their faces.
In the imperial garden.
As the wedding continued, the general who was responsible for guarding outside the imperial garden stepped forward quickly and whispered a few words in Zhao Yun's ear.
Zhao Yun stood up suddenly, strode forward to Xiao Guizi, whispered in a low voice, the look on Xiao Guizi's face suddenly changed, and he quickly walked towards Chu Feifan with a whisk in his hand.
"Your Majesty, an urgent battle report came from Fengyan City. The Yanjin Empire sent troops to capture Jiangyang City, killing more than 5,000 Chu soldiers, and cut off all their heads and hung them on the city."
Xiao Guizi leaned over and whispered in Chu Feifan's ear. His face turned livid, his palms were clenched tightly, and the splashing wine spilled on the wooden table in front of him. The wine glass in his hand became thin and broken, and scarlet blood dripped down his fingers.
Slide down.
"Whoa!"
Chu Feifan suddenly stood up, his eyes bursting with murderous intent, and a terrifying murderous aura lingered on his figure.
He glanced sideways at Nangong Xi and said in a low voice: "Xi'er, I will leave the two generals to you to take charge. I have important government affairs to deal with, so I will return to the palace first."
Say it.
His eyes passed over Zhang Liang, Fang Xuanling, and Wen Boya, and they stood up and strode outside the imperial garden.
Chu Feifan left suddenly. The officials didn't know why, but they felt the aura emanating from his figure and knew that something important must have happened.
Shan Li, Shan Yushu, Huo Qubing, and Ying Li all looked at Chu Feifan's retreating back. Their expressions were solemn, and they all looked thoughtful.
.........
In the royal study.
Chu Feifan looked furious, staring at the kneeling scout in the palace, and asked in an angry voice.
"Tell me, when did the Yanjin Empire launch an attack on Jiangyang City? Didn't Bai Qi send troops to attack soon?"
"Back to the emperor, this time the enemy army is coming with ferocious force. Five armies are dispatched at the same time. There are 100,000 people in the army. The fighting breaks out outside Fengyan City. Several cities are under attack. All the generals have already sent troops to each city.
, but our troops are limited and cannot stop the enemy’s five-pronged army from attacking forcefully.”
"Before my subordinates return to the imperial city, three cities besides Jiangyang City have been lost one after another."
"This time the enemy troops came with ferocity and viciousness. They massacred the city as soon as they entered. They killed everyone they saw, old and weak. They were simply demons. General Bai Qi specially asked his subordinates to return to the imperial city and request the emperor to send troops."
"What is supposed to come has come. The land of Chu is not something that you young people can trample on."
Chu Feifan knew that the Yanlong Empire was supported by the fifth-grade Fusang Empire, and that Liu Changqing and He Yizi died tragically at the Chu Academy. He had long expected that the Yanjin Empire would not give up, but he did not expect that they would be so heartbroken.
"Your Majesty, the Yanjin Empire behaved so cruelly just to force the Emperor to become angry and send troops to attack them."
"I thought there must be something else behind this incident."
"The Yanjin Empire has always been a medium-sized empire among the seventh-grade empires. Their military strength is less than 200,000. Even if the troops are divided into five groups and each group has less than 40,000 soldiers, how can they come with an army of 500,000 people?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, Yan Jin invaded Wu Chu. An army of five hundred thousand is by no means the strength of a country. There is another mystery behind this."
Fang Xuanling and Zhang Liang's determined voices sounded, and Chu Feifan nodded. It is true that an army of 500,000 people is definitely not something that the seventh-grade Yan Jin Kingdom can possess. Even with the support of the Fusang Empire, they will never silently defeat thirty
Ten thousand troops arrived at the Yanjin Empire.
"An army of half a million?"
"I must fight in this formation, and I cannot possibly ignore the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the cities outside Fengyan City."
He knew that if the Fuso Empire really participated in this battle, with their cold-blooded and perverted psychology, the people of Chu State would definitely be massacred crazily.
"Zifang, prepare an edict and send me an edict to all cities in the Chu Kingdom to dispatch five thousand soldiers to the imperial city to join forces. I will lead all the troops in the country to defeat the Yan Jin Kingdom."
"Zilong, order Dugufa to lead the Chifeng Battalion and head to Fengyan City as quickly as possible!"
"Shixin, order Bei Shenglie to lead the Thunder Tiger Qingqi in a long-distance attack to fight against the Yanjin Empire's enemy troops."
"Xuan Ling, please order Yue Fei, Li Guang, Guan Sheng, and the three generals to lead their generals and set off from Dongling City to Fengyan City."
"For this battle, I have summoned a hundred generals and three hundred thousand troops to fight to the death between Fengyan City and the Yanjin Empire."
Chu Feifan acted boldly and quickly handed down the order. He knew that a war was imminent, and if the reinforcements arrived at the front line one day late, more people would be found and massacred.
Everyone took the order and left the imperial study. Chu Feifan looked sad and worried, with thoughts racing in his mind.
He knew that once the war broke out across the board, the surrounding countries would definitely take advantage of it. The Xuanlong and Xuanteng empires had already been eyeing Chu Hu, and he was also a potential enemy who had to guard against him.
At dusk.
Huo Qubing, Ying Li, and Shan Li came to the palace. In the royal study, the three of them saw Chu Feifan's serious expression, and they all had worried looks on their faces.
"Your Majesty, the general has heard that the Yanjin Empire has sent troops to attack Chu. The general has asked for orders to go to Fengyan City immediately."
"Qu Bing, Ying Li, you two are newly married. You two don't need to participate in this battle. There are hundreds of warriors from the Chu Kingdom that the Yan Jin Empire can compete with."
Chu Feifan waved his hand to the two of them, glanced sideways at Shan Li, and then said: "King Beihan, now the war is breaking out across the board. I hope King Beihan will return to Wushan immediately to take charge of the overall situation and protect the peace of Chu's northern territory."
