The charcoal fire in the stove in the meeting hall is red, and the heating fills every corner of the hall. It is cold outside, and the spring breeze is like a breeze inside.
Faced with Emperor Chu's question, Bai Qi's eyes were firm and his sonorous voice sounded: "Your Majesty, the battle at Chicheng Mountain three days ago lasted all night. During this period, the Dove did not appear. The ancient road at the foot of Chicheng Mountain is the only way to enter the Cherry Blossom City.
"
"For the past three days, the scouts have been paying attention to every move in Sakura City, day and night, and have never noticed the Doijiu army returning to the city, unless Kawashima Keihito ordered them to take a detour and return to Ping An City."
"The general thought that it was not too late and should leave the city of Xiangping to launch an attack. If things were too late, things would change. Kawashima Keihito might have fled the Fuso Imperial Capital."
"Your Majesty, I think General Bai Qi's words are reasonable. Even if the army of Tu Feijiu is in the imperial city, the 400,000 Fusang enemy soldiers have been defeated. They have long been frightened and have become frightened birds. Only this last step is left. Unification of Fusang is just around the corner."
Zhuge Liang agreed, saying that with the Chu army's 150,000 soldiers sharing the same enemy and with high morale, it was the best time to capture Fusang in one fell swoop. He didn't know why the Chu Emperor was hesitant at this time.
A few moments.
Emperor Chu suddenly spoke and said: "Bai Qi listened to the order and led Dian Wei, Luo Shixin, Zhang Fei, Qiu Feng, Wang Yanzhang, Pang De, and Sun Shangxiang to set off immediately through Sakura City and approach the Ping An Imperial Capital."
"Yue Fei, Ran Min, and Huo Qubing are ordered to lead the army under their command and set off immediately to approach Ping'an City."
"Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Su Lie, and Chu Ya, order the four of you to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Ping'an City. The three armies will advance together and must arrive at noon tomorrow."
"Li Guang, Huang Zhong, Lin Cong, Qin Liangyu, and Hua Mulan are responsible for escorting the food and grass and guarding the Sakura City."
"Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang, Li Yuanba, Gan Ning, and Ma Chao obey the order. You and I and the military advisor will go around to Ping'an City to cut off the retreat of Kawashima Jingren."
"Generals, remember that when we arrive at Ping'an City, the entire army will attack the city at noon tomorrow. We must enter the city before nightfall at all costs."
"We will obey our emperor's edict!"
The generals knelt down and saluted, took orders and left the meeting hall. When the door was opened, the biting cold wind hit them, which shocked people.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Fusang is gone and its destruction is inevitable!"
Zhuge Liang saw Emperor Chu frowning and said something, but Emperor Chu still had a solemn look on his face.
"I'm not worried about not being able to capture Fuso, but I always feel that Kawashima Keihito has a conspiracy."
"Your Majesty, when we invade Ping An City, Kawashima Jingren is alone. How can he contend with an army of 100,000 people?"
Zhuge Liang spoke, and the two of them were silent for a while, then stood up and walked out of the meeting hall. Looking at the clearing sky, Emperor Chu murmured to himself.
"The heavy snow has cleared, I hope it's a good sign!"
............
In the safe city.
The common people learned that the Chu army was about to attack the imperial city. The past few days were almost like years. The common people in Sakura City abandoned the city and hid in the countryside. The biggest headaches in the imperial city right now were undoubtedly the wealthy families who claimed to be nobility.
In the palace.
Kawashima Jingren was sitting alone in the imperial study room, his brows were furrowed and his face was ashen. When he returned to the imperial capital, he asked the Beixiong Tianwu General to assemble the available troops in the city, only to find out that there were currently less than 30,000 soldiers in the imperial capital.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
Three black figures suddenly appeared outside the royal study. They were covered in black robes and looked like ghosts. The three of them raised their hands and pushed open the palace door and entered.
"Whoever let you in, get out now!"
Kawashima Keihito was so distraught that he didn't even raise his head. He knocked the memorial on the wooden desk in front of him away with his arm and roared angrily.
"We haven't seen you for a few years. Mr. Jingren is really bad-tempered!"
A cold voice sounded, and Kawashima Keihito raised his head and looked forward. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave instantly. His whole body was so cold that even the blood in his body seemed to be frozen.
"Why did Master Soul Envoy arrive suddenly? Did the God Emperor have any orders?"
Kawashima Keihito's voice was respectful, and his eyes passed over the three of them from time to time, looking cautious.
"Master Jingren, you are in such a dire situation now. Even if the God Emperor gives you an order, are you still capable of completing it?"
The scolding sounded, and Kawashima Keihito had a look of fear on his face. Although he was the king of a country, he did not dare to make any mistakes in front of the three soul envoys. He suppressed the anger in his heart and a low voice sounded.
"Jingren is incompetent and has betrayed the trust of the God Emperor. Jingren is willing to die to apologize!"
"Death to apologize?"
"If you die, it will be all over. Master, do you think you can live till now?"
"You were already a corpse twenty years ago. The God Emperor left you in Fusang and asked you to inherit the throne. But what have you done in so many years? The fifth-grade empire actually perished under your rule. It's really
It chills the heart of the God Emperor."
The leader's soul envoy had sinister eyes, and the sound of the cold bone-gnawing sound was heard. Kawashima Keihito was as listless as an eggplant beaten by frost, and the aura of dominance over the world possessed by the Supreme Emperor was gone.
"Failure is a foregone conclusion. Young Master will go back with us. As for the punishment, the God Emperor has the final say."
"go back?"
"How can I have the dignity to go back?"
"Anyway, both left and right are dead, why not let me have a showdown with Emperor Chu here!"
Kawashima Jingren laughed at himself, his voice was low, and the leader of the Soul Envoy sneered, "Just because you have less than 30,000 soldiers outside the palace?"
"Emperor Chu's army of 100,000 defeated your 400,000 soldiers. Now your army of 30,000 wants to compete with Chu's army. I think you are really crazy!"
"Soul slave, take him back to me. The God Emperor has ordered that it is not time for you to die now. You should save this life to compete with Emperor Chu in the future!"
Two black shadows flitted behind the Soul Envoy, and they stepped forward to knock Kawashima Keihito unconscious. The two were fighting and just as he was about to leave, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the hall.
"Creak!"
The soul envoy opened the door, and Beixiong Tianwu saw three men in black holding Kawashima Jingren hostage in front of him. He was about to take out the sword from his waist, but his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground.
"The defeated general, a useless thing, still wants to attack me in front of me!"
The soul envoy's disdainful voice sounded, his eyes retracted from Beixiong Tianwu, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Bring him back too. This guy is not useless. He may be of great use in the future if you keep him!"
"Lord Soul Envoy, take these two back. Will this Fusang land be given to Chu State for nothing?"
"Give it to Chu State for free!"
"How did Emperor Chu take this place away? Soon he will personally hand it over to the God Emperor. We only need to carry out the task. As for the other God Emperors, we can make arrangements freely!"
Finished.
The three of them disappeared on the top of the palace with Kawashima Keihito and Beixiong Tianwu. No one knew they were coming, and no one noticed their departure. (To be continued)
