The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Ruan Yishui said calmly: "I'm talking about His Majesty's command, this is His Majesty's order."

He bit down hard on the word order.

This means that there is no negotiation, it must be carried out!

"Give up the country?"

Xiang Cheng opened his mouth and said: "Nowadays, the enemy country is aggressively attacking, and many vassal states have fallen. Of course, many people are afraid of the battle and retreat, and there are even people like Xiang Tai who directly throw themselves at the enemy..."

"But I, Xiang Cheng, do not have this intention. You can tell your Majesty that I am willing to defend the enemy with all my strength, and I am willing to fight to the death with the enemy army as much as possible. No matter what the result is, if the enemy army wants to attack Shouchun, they must Step over this king's corpse!"

Xiang Cheng also thought that this was a deliberate temptation sent by His Majesty's imperial envoy.

He directly stated that this was not a show of loyalty, but his true thoughts, not only for the country, but also for himself.

The country of Dai is his vassal state, the foundation passed down from his ancestors to this day, how could he abandon it?

"The heart of acting as a king can shine on the sun and the moon. Your Majesty has no doubts about your loyalty."

Ruan Yishui said: "The reason why His Majesty ordered you to do this is to implement a major strategy!"

"Major strategy?"

Xiang Cheng was even more puzzled.

"Yes."

Ruan Yishui asked back: "From your point of view, what is the situation in Dachu now? What is the future result?"

"You can speak up, but it doesn't hurt."

Xiang Cheng said calmly: "The wind and rain are precarious, and the future is uncertain."

"That's it."

Ruan Yishui said: "To be honest, as far as the current situation is concerned, my big Chu is really in crisis!"

"The enemy's strategy is already very clear. The five-way attack on Shouchun is now in full swing. Wherever they pass, they are invincible. At the same time, they are inciting the people and bewitching them in every possible way. The situation is quite weak for us!"

Xiang Cheng nodded, he knew this was the truth.

The enemy army is too fierce.

Up to now, the Northwest, Southwest and other areas have been captured by the enemy, and the people rose up in the name of an uprising to overthrow the Chu Dynasty, and there was chaos everywhere, just like a mess...

Ruan Yishui continued: "And it is the enemy commander Wang Kang who is about to attack the country of Dai. You must know how powerful he is, King Dai."

"know."

Xiang Cheng looked solemn.

The name Wang Kang is like a thunderbolt in the Chu Kingdom, and it is even more like a nightmare for these princes and kings...

His record is too brilliant!

Not to mention the present, but in the past, no one expected that the mighty Chu State would come to this point.

And all of this started because of him!

The Chu army defeated by him amounted to more than two million.

This is also the case, which made Chu State sluggish from now on, and went into decline...

"Dai Wang, are you sure you can defeat Wang Kang, or hold on?"

Ruan Yishui's question made Xiang Cheng hesitate.

He couldn't answer because he was really not sure!

"And now Wang Kang leads an army of nearly 30, which is just like a rainbow!"

"so what?"

Xiang Cheng said directly: "Is it because of this that I avoid fighting and keep giving in? I admit that I really can't win by myself, but we can fight together and find a way..."

"Don't get me wrong."

Ruan Yishui said: "I just want to say that such perseverance is meaningless. You should also be aware of the current situation. In the Battle of Changning, the imperial court's million reinforcements were defeated. It is no longer difficult to organize a large-scale army to resist."

"So you're leaving?"

Xiang Cheng said angrily: "At this time, the more you can't retreat?"

"To be precise, it's just a temporary retreat!"

"What do you mean?"

Ruan Yishui said: "This is the strategy formulated by His Majesty. Temporarily retreat to avoid the edge, create a situation for the enemy army that I am dead, paralyze them, confuse them..."

"What's the explanation?"

Xiang Cheng wondered: "If you avoid the enemy's edge without fighting, you preserve your strength, but where can you retreat?"

"Retreat again, and the enemy will hit Shouchun!"

"Yes."

Ruan Yishui said in a deep voice: "We want to put the enemy in Shouchun, and they can easily attack Shouchun. At this time, we will concentrate all our forces and encircle them, so that the enemy can be eliminated!"

hear this.

Xiang Cheng wondered: "So retreating temporarily, just to preserve strength?"

"Yes."

Ruan Yishui made another shocking statement.

"Yuan Wang Xiangqi died in Xianghe City. His eldest son inherited the throne and fled directly. In fact, he was ordered by His Majesty. Since the battle will only increase casualties, why not retreat?"

"This is also a matter of course. The enemy army will not doubt it at all. Now Chu is in chaos everywhere, and even the princes and kings are rebelling against themselves. This is actually His Majesty's plan!"

"You mean?"

Xiang Cheng wondered: "Li Guo, Shen Guo's self-reliance, is it fake?"

"Of course!"

Ruan Yishui opened his mouth and said: "Li and Shen, as princes and kings with foreign surnames, how much favor have they received from the emperor, how can they stand on their own?"
