The Invincible Sixth Prince

Qiming City.

"Why hasn't Gao Quan sent out his troops yet?"

"What is he waiting for?"

"Who can tell me what is going on?"

Wang Shu was furious at the court meeting.

It was said before that Gao Quan would send troops within two days.

However, three days had passed and they had not received any news of Gao Quan sending troops.

This result made the already violent Wang Shu even more violent.

Wang Shu now suspects whether Gao Quan has already betrayed him.

If his remaining rationality had not told him that suspecting Gao Quan at this time might very well lead to the destruction of the entire Le Dynasty, he would have already sent people to the tiger's mouth to escort Gao Quan back.

Faced with Gao Quan’s wrath, the officials were panicked and confused.

They also didn't know why Gao Quan was slow to send troops.

Even if Gao Quan does not send troops, he can send someone to report the situation and explain the reasons for not sending troops!

Hukou is only about two hundred miles away from Qiming City.

Send a fast horse back with the message. It will arrive in a little over half a day.

Could it be that Gao Quan was so busy that he didn't even have time to send someone back to report the news?

Something must have happened in Hukou City!

"Report..."

At this moment, a rapid and long sound suddenly came from outside.

Hearing this voice, everyone suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Soon, the palace guards trotted in with a messenger.

"Meet Your Majesty..."

As soon as the messenger came in, he knelt down on the ground, quickly took off the bamboo tube on his back and held it up with both hands.

The eunuch beside Wang Shu hurried forward to get the bamboo tube, took out a letter from it and handed it to Wang Shu.

Wang Shu couldn't wait to open the letter.

However, after just one look, Wang Shu's breathing became rapid.

Shangqing Road was completely lost!

The 13,000-strong naval force that came to the rescue of Longqing Prefecture was completely wiped out.

Xuangui and Xiongjin were quickly attacked by enemy cavalry one after another.

The 4,000 reinforcements sent to Heji were trapped...

The further he read, the more rapid Wang Shu's breathing became.

"what……"

Wang Shu let out an extremely violent roar, his face twisted.

The ministers didn't know what was happening and were about to kneel down and shout "Your Majesty, please calm down" when the letter in Wang Shu's hand suddenly fell and he collapsed on the throne and twitched continuously.

"His Majesty!"

The eunuch shouted in panic, "Imperial Physician, quickly call the Imperial Physician..."

The ministers were also in chaos, feeling anxious and confused.

What on earth happened that made His Majesty so furious?

"puff……"

At this moment, Wang Shu opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood.

Following Qiu Shanjun, Wang Shu officially announced his joining of the Blood Arrow Sect.

Wang Shu was carried away by many people.

But the court meeting had to continue.

The great king Chi hurriedly picked up the letter stained with Wang Shu's blood.

Just a glance and Wang Chi's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Wang Chi resisted the urge to spurt blood and handed the letter in his hand to Li Xian, the Minister of War.

"Read!"

Wang Chi only said one word, then quickly waved to the eunuch, asking him to help him sit down.

Li Xian breathed rapidly, holding the letter in his trembling hands, "Your Highness...reports to His Majesty..."

Li Xian's voice trembled constantly, and every time he uttered a complete sentence, the hearts of his ministers sank a little.

Gao Quan also explained that he had received some messages over the past two days.

But he was not sure whether the news was true or not, so he sent people to confirm it, and finally confirmed the news.

At the end of the letter, Gao Quan also said that the 4,000 reinforcements sent from Yujin might have met with an accident.

But he cannot send troops rashly now, otherwise the enemy may take the opportunity to seize Hukou City.

Once the tiger's mouth was lost, the Le Dynasty would be completely hopeless.

In addition, Gao Quan suggested that Wang Shu immediately order Yi Zhiwu and the troops of Baishan Province to retreat to Luyi Prefecture and to control the western gate of Gyeonggi Province to prevent the enemy from breaking into Gyeonggi Province from the west.

When Li Xian finished reading, the hearts of the ministers had fallen to the bottom.

Shangqing Road was completely lost?

The Xiongjin Navy was completely wiped out!

It is very likely that the naval support troops from Uozu will not be able to be saved!

All the news is bad news!

Moreover, these are all news confirmed by high-ranking officials!

No wonder Gao Quan was reluctant to send troops.

It turned out that Gao Quan was confirming the news.

"How to do?"

"Now how to do?"

"Waste, all of them are waste! How long has it been since the entire Shangqing Road was completely destroyed?"

"Your Majesty, quickly order Yi Zhiwu and his men to withdraw to Luyi Prefecture..."

Some people roared angrily, some asked questions in confusion, and some gave urgent advice.

The entire hall fell into chaos.

With the complete loss of Shangqing Province, the navy was almost wiped out, and Li Xian's previous plan was declared a complete failure.

Now it is not a question of whether they can push the enemy back to Lu'andao.

Now it’s a question of whether they can keep Gyeonggi Province!

"Report..."

At this moment, a rapid and long voice came from outside again.

Soon, another messenger was brought in.

"Your Majesty, all of Euljimu's troops were annihilated, Qiushanjun died of a heart attack due to anger, and the people of Luyi Prefecture were in a panic. Qiushanjun's staff led the people to surrender..."

As the messenger's voice sounded, the already panicked ministers became even more panicked.

Wang Chi just collapsed there, his head buzzing.

Luyi Prefecture also fell into the hands of the enemy?

And Woyuan was almost unguarded!

Doesn’t that mean that the barrier on the western side of Gyeonggi Province will soon disappear completely?

Once the enemy occupied Luyi Prefecture and Woyuan, they would immediately threaten Gyeonggi Province.

How can Wan'an City, with its small number of troops, stop the enemy's large army?

The key point is, Akiyama-kun is dead!

It is impossible to hand Qiu Shanjun over to Yun Zheng to calm Yun Zheng's anger in exchange for Yun Zheng's withdrawal!

"Report..."

Before Wang Chi could recover from the shock, the messenger's voice was heard again.

Hearing the messenger's voice again, the ministers, who were confused and frightened, became somewhat numb.

You don't have to guess, it must be bad news again.

"Reporting to the army, the reinforcements from Baishan Road were defeated by the enemy. The enemy quickly raided Xiakou City, leaving the city with an empty force. Xiakou City has fallen..."

The messenger reported breathlessly, looking at the ministers in the hall in confusion.

How come such a big thing happened, but the army and the ministers didn't react at all?

This... what is going on?

No one cared what the messenger was thinking.

No one could speak.

In less than an hour, they received so much bad news that everyone was already numbed by the shock.

Shangqing Road and Lu'an Road were lost.

Baishan Road, Pingxu Road, and Da'an Road were all short of troops.

If the enemy continues its raids, it is only a matter of time before we lose the city completely.

In the huge Le Dynasty, it seemed that only Gyeonggi Province was barely able to fight.

But even if they counted the reinforcements from various places, the guards of Qiming City, and even the palace guards, the entire Gyeonggi Province could probably only barely gather 30,000 armored men!

But now, the enemy troops in the tiger's mouth are eyeing us covetously, and the gate to the west is wide open.

Can we really defend Gyeonggi Province with such a small force?

Even if we can hold it temporarily, how long can we hold it?

At this moment, two words suddenly popped up in many people's minds.

surrender!
