C447

The deep darkness of the night was torn apart by the white of a fish's belly from the east. At the same time, the emperor was awakened by the voice of a eunuch from the outside, "Your Majesty, report to the military."

"Come in." The Emperor sat up and got out of bed, accompanied by the ladies.

The messenger walked in and knelt on one knee. He said urgently, "Reporting to Your Majesty, we have failed to guard the Dragon's Mouth Pass."

"What?" The Emperor's expression abruptly changed.

He had expected a messenger to arrive this morning, but he thought he would hear the news of a victory at the front.

"Impossible, Mao Jun and Yan Zixing didn't do as I say?" The emperor stubbornly asked.

There must have been a mistake.

It's impossible.

"This subordinate only knew that General Fu had allowed Mao Jun and Yan Zixing to enter the city and that they had coordinated with each other from the Rebellion. In the Dragon's Mouth Pass, all five hundred thousand people have surrendered." The messenger said.

"Pah!" The teacup on the table was thrown to the floor.

The emperor's eyes were bloodshot as he said, "Impossible, it's impossible for them to disregard the lives of their family members."

The soldier didn't answer.

"Traitors, dammit! "Damn it!" The emperor shouted in anger, "Kill all the members of the Mao family and the Yan family who are imprisoned in the Supreme Court! Leave none alive!"

Now he had to kill to vent his anger.

The eunuch was about to deliver the decree.

"The Legacy King Huai has come to see me." The Emperor said.

"Yes." The eunuch withdrew, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he went out.

When Wang Huai entered the royal study, he saw a mess on the floor. It was obvious without even thinking that the emperor must have been in a fire.

He carefully walked forward.

"Pah!" A teacup was smashed in front of him, causing him to kneel down in fear.

"Trash!" The emperor scolded loudly, "Didn't you say that the two of them have agreed to surrender? "What's going on?"

As he scolded, he threw another war report at Wang Huai's face.

Wang Huai had already learned the news of his defeat, and said in trembling voice: "That's what they said. This subject never expected that they would not even care about the lives of their family members."

"Kill, kill them all for me!" The Emperor had gone insane.

It was his scheming that had led to the Dragon's Mouth being broken through without being able to attack. He felt as if there was a suffocating force in his chest, preventing him from leaving no matter what.

Wang Huai did not even dare to make a sound.

Right at this moment, a young eunuch ran in and said, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Court is requesting an audience."

"Didn't I tell him to kill people?" The emperor frowned and said, "Let him in."

The justice court officials hurriedly walked in and knelt down. "Your Majesty, the Mao family and the Yan family members escaped from prison."

"What did you say?" the Emperor asked incredulously.

"This subject... This subject has just found out that they have run away without anyone noticing. This subject is sure that it was an expert who took them away. " The justice court's official braced himself and said.

"You, you, you ?" The Emperor pointed at him, his face turning even redder.

The justice court's official and Wang Huai did not dare to make a sound.

"Puff ?"

The emperor spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.

A eunuch behind him hurriedly supported him, saying in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"The imperial physician ?" Wang Huai said loudly.

The royal study was thrown into chaos.

After seizing the Dragon's Mouth Pass, Tuoba Rui spent one day to reorganize the troops. At this time, his army had already changed from six hundred thousand and was now one million and one hundred thousand. Leaving one hundred thousand people behind, he brought the remaining one hundred people and went straight to the capital.

That morning, Tuoba Rui received the news that the Mao family and the Yan family were safe. He casually passed the cloth over to Hua Ruge and said, "Tell them to rest easy."

At this moment, they were in the middle of an attack, and it looked like they wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

When Hua Ruge saw the content of the message, he let out a sigh of relief and replied, "I'll tell them once the city is destroyed."

The person she should have saved had been saved, and the capital was right in front of her, so her heart was at ease.

The attack had gone smoothly all the way here. It seemed like the Emperor had no other choice.

As a result, Tuoba Rui's army's morale was high, while the King's City was retreating, with many cities directly surrendering.

After the old emperor was awakened by the wine of the imperial physician, he appeared to be in a crazed state. He was very clear that his body was unable to endure the wine anymore.

Therefore, he hardened his heart: "Tuoba Rui, you think that you can obtain the mountains and rivers by rebelling? "I won't let you do as you wish."

After that, he ordered people to fight back with all their might and fight to the death.

But the hindrance Tuoba Rui faced was not too great either. A million strong army was like a hot knife through butter, and after two days of time, they were already close to the capital. They would arrive before the city gates in another day.

That night, the army was in order. Tuoba Rui, Hua Ruge and Yan Zixing were going to discuss the plan of battle.

All the experienced generals knew that they could not relax even if they reached the end. The emperor had loyal imperial guards, and if they wanted to take over the capital without alarming the citizens, they had to plan carefully.

While the four of them were thinking, a messenger came in from outside and said: "Your Highness, it's bad, the Dong Xia army has entered."

"What?" Hua Ruge's pupils contracted as he revealed a surprised look.

"How is that possible? Isn't there nearly a million troops defending the border gate? With Dong Xia combined with two different battlefields, how is it possible for them to breach the city?" Mao Jun said in disbelief.

Yan Zixing also had a face full of suspicion.

Tuoba Rui squinted: "The one in the throne room who has never been willing to admit his failure, should have something to do with the agreement between him and the Dong Xia."

Hua Ruge calmed his heart down and asked the soldier: "Tell me, what's going on at the border?"

"Your majesty is wise. Indeed, the Emperor ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the Dong Xia successfully entered the capital of the Qing Province. The two armies did not start a war." The messenger said.

Since there was no war, it was clear that they had reached an agreement.

Mao Jun said angrily: "How could he do that, no matter what, he is still the emperor of the great Zheng, why is he not concerned about the commoners at all."

Tuoba Rui and Hua Ruge did not speak.1

Yan Zixing pulled Mao Jun and indicated for him to sit down.

"How many troops have the Dong Xia entered?" Tuoba Rui asked.

"The vanguard troop of 500,000 soldiers is currently leaving the capital, heading towards the capital." The messenger continued.

Yan Zixing frowned: "The old emperor is really scheming against the tiger. Does he really think that working with Dong Xia will benefit him?"

Hua Ruge waved his hand, signalling for the messenger to go down.

"What do we do now?" Mao Jun asked anxiously.

Hua Ruge patted Mao Jun's shoulder and said: "Don't be impatient, Brother Mao."

At this moment, her face had already calmed down.

In the end, what was coming had finally come.

Tuoba Rui revealed a look of disdain: "A mere five hundred thousand people dares to enter my border?"

"Is there a solution to this?" Yan Zixing asked.

Hua Ruge nodded his head: "Before we attacked the capital, we were already afraid of such a situation, so we set it up, now it can be considered useful."

Mao Jun's eyes turned to look at him, "Is it possible that your alien army has long been prepared?"

"More or less." Hua Ruge replied.
