The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 1251: Le Dynasty Rebellion

The capital of the Le Dynasty, Qiming City.

News from all over the country flew to Qiming City like snowflakes.

Wang Shu and other ministers in the court were completely confused when they received the news.

Qingyi was lost, Duyang was lost, Shanghe was lost...

In just a few days, the enemy had captured more than ten cities of the Le Dynasty, large and small.

Now, the enemy has captured Pingji, located between Hukou and Heji, and is heading straight for Hukou.

Meanwhile, another large enemy army was eyeing Longqing Prefecture covetously.

"What about people?"

"Where are our people?"

"Where did all our people go?"

Wang Shu pretended to be crazy and roared, slamming the imperial desk in front of him with a "bang bang" sound.

The enemy is about to invade Gyeonggi Province!

The capital of the Le Dynasty had been seriously threatened.

From the time the enemy invaded until now, the Le Dynasty had never fought a decent battle, but had been losing cities continuously.

But the enemy army still entered the empty area!

At this moment, Wang Shu just wanted to kill someone.

Facing Wang Shu's murderous gaze, all the ministers lowered their heads, fearing that they would be stared at by Wang Shu.

The speed of the enemy's advance was beyond the imagination of all of them.

They had been counting on the defenders of Luyi Prefecture to consume most of the enemy's main force, and once the 15,000 troops withdrawn from Lishan Pass and Helizhou Prefecture arrived at Luyi Prefecture, they would be able to inflict a heavy blow to the enemy.

As a result, the enemy bypassed Luyi Prefecture and marched towards Shangqing Road, catching them off guard.

After receiving the news sent back by Akiyama-kun, they urgently sent 3,000 reinforcements to Hukou.

But there were only 3,000 reinforcements.

There are only 6,000 armored soldiers in Hukou now, and the rest are young and strong men who were temporarily conscripted.

The enemy's fighting power was beyond the imagination of all of them.

It is not always possible to defend oneself from the tiger's mouth.

Once the Tiger's Mouth is lost, the enemy's large number of cavalry will be able to run rampant in Gyeonggi Province.

The entire Gyeonggi Province will be turned upside down by the enemy.

However, they simply did not have enough troops to fight the enemy.

Seeing that none of the ministers said anything, Wang Shu was so angry that he almost drew his sword and chopped someone down, but he didn't do it in the end. He just asked gloomily, "Where is Gao Quan?"

The Prime Minister Cui Jingdao replied, "General Gao led his troops to Tongxing yesterday, and is currently escorting weapons and fine iron from Tongxing to the capital. They will be there within seven days!"

Tongxing City is one of the most important cities in Binh Xu Dao, and it is also the largest iron and copper producing area of ​​the Le Dynasty.

Tongxing was originally named after the discovery of rich copper mines.

Later, rich reserves of iron ore were gradually discovered around Tongxing.

Today, more than 40% of the weapons of the Le Dynasty are made in Tongxing.

In order to deal with Daqian's massive invasion, Wang Shu had previously ordered Gao Quan to escort all of Tongxing's weapons and fine iron to Qiming City.

"Seven days? Another seven days?"

Wang Shu's face suddenly turned ugly. "In another seven days, the enemy might have broken through the tiger's mouth! Come, draft an order! Order Gao Quan to hand over the task of escorting the weapons and fine iron to others, and order him to lead the cavalry and rush back to Qiming City as quickly as possible!"

Gao Quan was the most famous general of the Le Dynasty and was also in charge of most of the Le Dynasty's cavalry units.

Over the years, Gao Quan has been in Pingxu Road, guarding Lishan Pass, the most important pass in the northeast of the Le Dynasty. He has led his troops to repel the enemy forces that invaded Lishan Pass several times and was worshipped as a god of war by the people of the Le Dynasty.

Now, the 15,000 elite soldiers in Gao Quan's hands are the key to defeating the enemy.

Soon, the eunuch attending Wang Shu drafted the imperial edict.

Wang Shu read it once, immediately stamped it with the imperial seal, and ordered someone to convey his order to Gao Quan as quickly as possible.

Just as the messenger was leaving the hall in a hurry, the palace guards hurried in.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from the navy!"

"Read!"

"Your Majesty, our army marched to Danshui on June 4th, but the enemy sank the merchant ships and blocked the middle reaches of Danshui, making it impossible for our army to pass..."

Blocking the river?

Listening to the urgent report from the navy, Wang Shu's cold eyes suddenly fell on Cui Jingdao.

It was Cui Jingdao who had previously proposed the idea of ​​ordering the navy to go up the Dan River and destroy the boat bridge built by the enemy on the Dan River, so that the enemy's subsequent troops and food and supplies could not cross the Dan River.

However, the enemy only used a small trick to make Cui Jingdao's strategy become a joke.

Facing Wang Shu's gaze, Cui Jingdao felt cold all over.

"I made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Cui Jingdao knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Somebody come!"

Wang Shu roared violently, and the palace guards outside the hall quickly ran in.

"Father!"

Just when Cui Jingdao secretly cried out "My life is over", Wang Chi quickly stood up and pleaded: "Victory and defeat are common in the military, and Lord Cui did not know that the enemy would be so cunning before. Now is the time for our dynasty to use people. I beg the emperor to forgive Lord Cui!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive Lord Cui!"

As Wang Shu spoke, all the ministers knelt down and begged for mercy.

Looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground, a cold light flashed in Wang Shu's eyes.

The crown prince Wang Chi already has the momentum to command the support of hundreds of people!

Today, all the ministers followed him in pleading for Cui Jingdao. Will they all follow him in forcing him to abdicate tomorrow?

Wang Shu is also a person who likes to play power games. In addition, his psychology has gradually become distorted in recent years, and his persecution delusion has become increasingly serious.

The more unified the voices in the court were, the more uneasy he felt.

If the enemy had not already arrived at the city, today would have been the day for him to go on a killing spree.

"What are you doing?"

Wang Shu suppressed his killing intent and shouted, "When did I say I would punish Lord Cui? I wanted to order the navy to land in Zhenhe, raid the enemy's rear, and completely cut off the enemy's retreat!"

This……

After hearing what Wang Shu said, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Is that right?

After coming to his senses, Li Xian, the military judge, said quickly: "Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter!"

The Minister of War of the Le Dynasty was originally called Shangshu.

Later, in order to distinguish it from the Central Plains region, it was renamed Panshu.

"Why, you think this is not okay?"

Wang Shu frowned and looked at Li Xian.

Li Xian: "Your Majesty, since the enemy has blocked the Dan River, they must have expected that we would raid their rear. If the enemy is prepared, the navy will suffer heavy losses!"

After Li Xian said this, all the ministers expressed their agreement.

Wang Shu lowered his brows, thinking secretly in his heart.

Yes!

The enemy has blocked the Danshui River!

They must be on guard against their navy.

Wang Shu dismissed the idea in his mind and said with a dark face: "Now that the surprise attack on the enemy's rear has failed, how should we deal with it now? Who has a plan to deal with it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chi immediately gave a minister a secret look.

The minister understood, hesitated for a moment, and stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may be able to repel the enemy!"

"Say it!"

Wang Shu looked at the minister expectantly.

Minister: "The enemy's advance this time is because Qiu Shanjun sent people to attack Zhenhe's gold mine. The enemy has also issued a manifesto. This battle is only to seek revenge on Qiu Shanjun. If we..."

Before the minister could finish his words, he felt a cold gaze falling on him...
