At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne
Chapter 397 Attention from all parties
Chapter 397 Attention from all parties
Miaoyu and Ningxi were not the only ones who were paying attention to this battle. In the academy, Yuan Jingchen, the academy master who was playing chess with Master Xun, suddenly woke up from his deep thoughts, raised his head, glanced to the north, and said in surprise: “The Northern Wei military god has made a breakthrough.”
Achieved the eternal and invincible state of immortality.
“Master, do you think the prince can handle it?”
“Of course it can.”
Master Xun stroked his beard and said calmly: “If he was not 100% sure that he could suppress Helian Bobo, the King of Xiliang would not have launched a war to destroy the Northern Wei.”
“Although Helian Bobo has received a gift from the gods and has made great progress in his cultivation, I’m afraid he will not be able to escape the fate of being buried in Osprey Gorge this time.”
“A gift from heaven.”
Yuan Jingchen made a move and said, “Who knows, the gate of heaven will open this time.”
“Ah.”
“It’s possible.”
“The Northern Wei is the last trump card of those guys. They must rely on the Northern Wei to disrupt the world. They will definitely not watch the King of Xiliang destroy the Northern Wei. Maybe they will take the risk and come to the human world to take action themselves.”
“but.”
Xunzi shook his head. “If they were in heaven, the King of Xiliang would be helpless against them. But if they were in the human world, the life and death of these guys would not be decided by them.”
Who says those high and mighty immortals are truly invincible?
Capital.
Imperial City.
The emperor looked much older, his face was haggard, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyeballs were bloodshot.
During this period, the uprising army led by Qingyao and Xue Changqing became increasingly intense in several states in the south of the Yangtze River.
The army sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion not only failed to destroy Qingyao’s rebel army, but was defeated several times.
The general who had vowed to suppress the rebellion had his head chopped off by Xue Changqing and hung above the gate.
Within a few months, the rebel army had captured most of Bashu, Weizhou was also defended by them, and even many martial arts sects in Jianzhou came to rely on Qingyao, the princess of the old country.
The imperial court had lost all its face. It tried to suppress the rebellions time and again, but failed to suppress them and was defeated instead.
God knows where Xue Changqing and Qingyao got the weapons, food, and war horses. In a short period of time, they expanded their troops by tens of thousands.
Moreover, these rebel forces were not just a bunch of mediocre soldiers and generals. Among them were a group of extremely elite backbones, serving as centurions, thousand-man captains, lieutenant generals and deputy generals.
The emperor naturally knew that most of these people came from Xiliang, but he had no evidence and he did not dare to offend the King of Xiliang, so he could only keep it in his heart.
Don’t underestimate Xiao Han, who was leading 500,000 elite cavalry and fighting fiercely with Helian Bobo in the Northern Wei territory.
But there are still 100,000 cavalrymen in Xiliang who are eyeing the situation covetously. In addition, there is also Qingzhou waiting to make a move.
The rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River could not be quelled, and the emperor had neither the energy nor the manpower to plan how to deal with Xiliang and the King of Xiliang.
So he could only place all his hopes on the Northern Wei military god Helian Bobo.
“This bastard has been planning since he set sail. His purpose is to lure the Northern Wei to mobilize its elite troops for a head-on battle.”
“It’s ridiculous that the Northern Wei empress, who was known for her wisdom and strategy, and the idiot Helian Bobo didn’t see it at all.”
“The Northern Wei, which boasted a million armored soldiers, had 200,000 of them wiped out by a sip of water in Suizhou City. The remaining 200,000 were trapped in Osprey Stream.”
“If Helian Bobo is still a man, kill that bastard Xiao Han for me.”
After receiving the news, the emperor gnashed his teeth in hatred and cursed from morning to night without stopping.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace had long been accustomed to this. They lowered their heads and said little, allowing the emperor to abuse them without restraint. “Xiao Han, this bastard, really deserves to die.”
Gao Qian showed an angry expression, “Your Majesty valued him so much in the beginning that he even married Princess Ningxi to him. But this bastard, not only is he ungrateful, but he also goes against Your Majesty everywhere. Even if I cut him into pieces, it would be hard to vent my hatred.”
If you can say a few insincere words, you can control the emperor in your hands, so why not do it?
Gao Qian was not a fool. With his intelligence and brain, he could naturally see that the emperor had slowly fallen into the hands of the King of Xiliang.
First destroy the Northern Wei, then pacify the Central Plains. I’m afraid it won’t take many years for the capital to become owned by the Xiao family.
Gao Qian, the eunuch who holds the seal of the Imperial Household Department, had cooperated with Xiao Han a long time ago, but they were initially partners and allies. Now he has completely surrendered and become his subordinate.
After cursing together, the emperor kicked the eunuch who was serving Guizi to the ground and then left.
Northern Wei Dynasty.
Imperial City.
People from all walks of life were in panic. Countless people left the imperial city every day. Among them were families of high-ranking officials, countless profit-seeking businessmen, scholars and farmers.
At present, the Xiliang army is approaching, and their god of war Helian Bobo is trapped in Yuying Gorge, with 200,000 people surrounded.

The other two armies of Xiliang, led by Lu Ju and Huluxu, were unstoppable and were only a hundred miles away from the imperial city.
The Northern Wei imperial city now has only a few thousand soldiers guarding it. How can they defend the city? How can they repel the Xiliang army?
If I don’t leave now, I’m afraid that in a few days I won’t be able to leave when I want to.
On the city wall, the only remaining armored warriors of the Northern Wei Dynasty were patrolling with spears in hand, long swords on their waists, and wearing heavy armor. Flags were waving and the wind was howling.
Once upon a time, the Northern Wei imperial city was heavily guarded and was a veritable den of dragons and tigers, but now, only a few small fish and shrimps are left.
Suizhou City was captured by Xiao Han, who diverted the water from Sui River to flood Suizhou City. The 200,000 Northern Wei soldiers in the city were wiped out. Every household in the Northern Wei Dynasty wailed and wore mourning clothes.
In Suizhou city, not a single person was left alive among the 200,000 defenders and civilians. When the news reached the Northern Wei imperial capital, white sails were seen everywhere.
The weather was clear and cloudless, and the Northern Wei Imperial Palace was shrouded in shimmering golden light. But at this moment, the atmosphere was extremely bleak. Whether it was the palace maids, eunuchs, or guards, they were all in mourning, and the grief on their faces was extremely intense.
The families of many people in the palace were among the 200,000 defenders in Suizhou City, but they were wiped out overnight.
The dead were their fathers, brothers, uncles, and cousins. How could they not be sad?
In the garden.
The Northern Wei empress was wrapped in a white plain skirt with a cup of warm tea in front of her.
Her eyes were fixed on the flowers in front of her until her personal maid came over and called out “Your Majesty” several times, finally waking up the Northern Wei empress.
“what’s up?”
The empress asked doubtfully.
“Your Majesty, it’s getting late. It’s time to go back to the palace and rest.”
The female officer replied.
“It’s still early.”
The Empress was absent-minded: “Any news from the front?”
“No.”
The female official knew that the news her majesty wanted was not about Xiliang, but about the Northern Wei military god Helian Bobo.
