Chapter 470

the other side.

Beilin City.

Just two days after the royal family and ministers settled down, they were hit in the face by a huge bad news.

"What?"

"The imperial capital fell? Prince He lost?"

"How could it be so fast?"

"..."

Everyone's face turned pale. At first, when they learned that Ban Xian was not on the front line and had to send a mission to Zhongzhou, they were a little uneasy, but they still believed in the defense of the imperial capital.

Which material.

Just four days.

The imperial capital fell and the army retreated.

Now, it's really going to be cold!

"What should I do? Although Beilin City is a military fortress, it cannot be defended at all."

"Now we're in big trouble."

"What can we do now!"

"..."

In the military conference hall, which is much smaller than the palace hall, the civil servants and generals panicked. After the imperial capital, there is no danger to defend. Are they going to run north again?

Flee to Yuancheng and form a dynasty in exile?

on stage.

The little emperor remained calm.

Um!

As the empress mother said, no matter how important the matter is, you must maintain your dignity. As for the seriousness of the current situation, I don't know much about it. In the past, the empress dowager was in power.

Later, Prince He came to power.

Therefore, I really don't know much about the 'supreme imperial power' in my hand.

But it was quite fun to come out this time. It was the first time to leave the imperial capital, which was interesting.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the air is better than the palace.

Also, the draft that the queen mother mentioned has no results until now. The friends who played with him all said that this is a very good thing.

expect!

. . .

The queen mother doesn't know about the little emperor's "heartlessness". She only knows that the life span of the empire is not long, and the remaining rights in her hands are constantly shrinking.

What now?

I don't know!

It must be impossible to fight, and expect the mission to persuade Ban Xian?

There is some hope.

But can Beilin last until then? This is not necessarily the case.

at last.

All eyes turned to the Empress Dowager, a white-haired old man, that was the late emperor's uncle, and his seniority was the highest among the royal family, not one of them.

Although Prince He said he would come over soon.

But under his command lost the imperial capital.

Prince He couldn't absolve himself of the blame, obviously he was no longer fit to control the court situation.

Being watched by so many eyes, the old uncle's cloudy eyes showed a sense of helplessness, we are half buried in the ground, and we have to go through such an exciting thing.

Just as he was about to speak, an urgent military report arrived.

"Report! The rebel army began to march northward on a large scale in the early morning, and many cities are urgently asking for help!"

"..."

Everyone was speechless, didn't they fix it?

besides.

Are all the latent imperial soldiers asleep? Is there any use?

I thought that the dead could be delayed for at least two days, but now it has not been delayed for a day. As for asking for help, Beilin is not enough to defend, so there is no other military support.

Can only pretend not to hear.

"Ahem!"

The old uncle coughed twice, and the hall fell silent.

"Yuancheng."

This remark set the tone. Of course, it was not about withdrawing from Yuancheng now, but preparing for the way out. After all, the rebels hadn't come yet, and it was very close to Yuancheng.

If the Zhongzhou agreement is reached and the rebels stop, there is no need to withdraw.

Upon hearing this.

Naturally, none of the ministers raised their opinions.

stick to it?

How dare!

Is it not good to live?

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I don't want to burn the boat and lose my life.

Loyal to the emperor and patriotic?

Yes, but to be buried with this land is another matter.

Although they are similar to the common people after withdrawing to Yuancheng, and no longer have the blessings of power in the past, they can still rely on the money they made in the past to live a good life.

. . .

evening.

Prince He also arrived in Beilin.

"What?"

"Withdrawal?"

"The old emperor's uncle suggested?"

After the anger passed, there was silence. At this time, there is hope only if you are alive. If you defend Beilin to death and are captured by the rebels, the empire will really die.

After retreating to Yuancheng, there is still hope of restoring the country.

. . .

the other end.

Zhongzhou.

Under the turbulent day and night, even though the missions were young, they felt that their bodies were too much to bear. When they entered the city, the missions finally met Ban Xian himself.

Call for an immediate truce.

"Why?"

Ban Xian smiled lightly, and directly turned back.

heard the words.

Of course, the mission dare not say: This is in the interest of our tripartite parties.

Instead:

"After all, the Nanyu Empire is a centuries-old empire, and we have always had friendly exchanges with the three parties. You have already gained a huge advantage, so why do you go too far?"

"..."

There are a bunch of balabala, as if the Nanyu Empire should not be destroyed.

Regarding this, Ban Xian looked at them and said after a long time:

"The rise and fall of the empire is really God's will."

"In the history books, I have never heard that any dynasty should not be destroyed. Nanyu's vitality is exhausted. This is the law and its destiny."

"So, do not accept the truce!"

Seeing Ban Xian being so stubborn made the group feel tricky, but it was not without countermeasures.

"Master Ban Xian, if you insist on going your own way, the three parties will not sit idly by. If you have better intelligence, you should know that we are already mobilizing troops..."

It is not enough to persuade with good words, but of course the words are powerful.

"It should be all assembled by now, I believe you are not willing to go to war with our three parties."

Just finished.

A few of Ban Xian's subordinates stood up and yelled angrily. This scene made the three parties very proud and distraught. This is a sign of incompetence.

In their view, no matter how stupid Nan Yu's rebels are, they know how to advance and retreat.

Ban Xian squeezed his hands.

There was silence in the room.

"good."

"Then let's fight." Ban Xian said with a smile.

As soon as this statement came out.

The mission was startled.

What?

Did you hear me right? beat? Is there something wrong with this person's brain? The Nanyu Dynasty has not yet been destroyed, and he is going to argue with the three forces. He is crazy.

"What did you say?" a messenger asked in confirmation.

"Hit it!"

Ban Xian looked calm, and then threw another big news.

"Tomorrow morning, the army of one million assembled by the Qu Mansion will go north. When to stop, you have the final say."

"What?"

"Really want to fight? Tomorrow morning?"

"..."

The missions were shocked again. Although they said they could not reach an agreement, they sent troops, but they also knew that their preparations were not sufficient, and they were not ready to officially start a war with the rebels.

Wars in the past have always required a lot of time to prepare.

But now, suddenly told him that the fight will start tomorrow, this...

"Master Ban Xian, you are playing with fire."

"..."

"Our Hundred Cities will never sit idly by."

"..."

He couldn't lose face after being tough, and all of this was like a clown in Ban Xian's eyes.

The robber logic came over, and no one was allowed to fight back first?

He didn't talk nonsense, nor was he a threat, but he really assembled an army and prepared to go north. The reason was that the Nanyu royal family took the initiative to drag the three parties into trouble.

Therefore, it has been like driving livestock, without killing them all at once.

Master is famous!

truth.

Ban Xian also felt a little crazy, but he felt that this was a good time to establish his prestige. The establishment of a new dynasty should not show its fangs and erect its image.

No matter what the three parties do, they will not want to go to war in an all-out way.

In the end, there is a high probability that we will sit down and talk, Nanyu Dynasty? It's just a pawn.
