511: C511 To Take Sun's Head!

C511 To Take Sun's Head!

"Your Majesty, mercy is not your servant's fault!"

"Your Majesty, all these years, your subject has not done any meritorious deeds. Please spare me!"

"…"

In the imperial court, Huyan Zong shouted in fear, and knocked his head on the ground again and again.

He wanted to seek Hu Jianlong's pity and take back his Sovereign's decree.

However, Hu Jianlong's expression was cold, his gaze cold, and he had already made his decision to execute Hu Jianlong.

Under the fearful gazes of the civil and military officials, two golden armored guards with sabers stepped into the Hall of Golden Chimes and dragged Huyan Zhan away.

During this entire process, no Shang Country Officer stood out to speak up for Huyan Zong. Even those who had a good relationship with Huyan Jie did not dare to stand out.

The dragon's might was untouchable!

The angry Hu Jianlong was too terrifying. They were afraid that they would be caught up in the crossfire and be chopped off by the Emperor together with Huyan Zong.

After Huyan Jie was dragged down, Hu Jianlong's anger slightly subsided.

However, the anger on his face did not disappear.

When he thought about how he had lost five hundred thousand men and horses and a large number of generals while attacking Xia Country, and how he had lost another three hundred thousand, he trembled with heartache.

And this time, not only had they lost 300,000 soldiers and horses, they had also lost three prefectures.

When he was young, he fought in the war against the three great provinces and won them personally.

Now, half a month was all gone.

However, Hu Jianlong was still the ruler of a nation.

In these past few years, he had long since developed a great spirit.

His imposing gaze swept across the crowd, revealing a potbellied official's body, he then spoke with a heavy voice: "Minister of War, how is the recruitment for the new troops going?"

The Minister of War was called Tang Hua, upon hearing Hu Jianlong's words, his fat body shivered, then he stood up and looked at Hu Jianlong, cupped his fists and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the recruitment of new troops has been completed, a total of 400,000 soldiers and horses have been recruited. They are all ready to go, and can be sent to the front lines at any time!"

"Four hundred thousand?!"

Hu Jianlong's eyes lit up, and said: "My Shang Country is indeed worthy of being called a strong and robust place, in just half a month, I have managed to gather 400,000 new soldiers."

"Four hundred thousand soldiers and horses. Adding the one hundred and fifty thousand from Yanzhou, that would be five hundred and fifty thousand!"

"I believe that this time, we will definitely destroy the Xia Country Army!"

Under the gazes of all the officials, Minister of War Tang Hua nodded and said, "That's right, Your Majesty. Although the Xia Country Army was powerful at the moment, after taking down Wu Yuan, Wu Ling, and Rizhao, they would have to divide their forces. According to the reports from the front lines, they only have two hundred thousand troops in Rizhao Prefecture. "

"Rizhao Prefecture and Yan Prefecture are adjacent to each other. Even those two hundred thousand Xia Country Army soldiers are unable to match up to my five hundred and fifty thousand strong army. This subject believes that as long as we send out a courageous and scheming general to lead an army of five hundred and fifty thousand men … We will definitely be able to seize back the Sunshine Prefecture with unstoppable force! "

Tang Hua's heart was filled with strong confidence, the eyes of the other officials lit up.

After Hu Jianlong heard this, the confidence in his heart increased by a lot.

"Minister Tang, you've done well. You've done a great job recruiting. This Emperor will reward you with 10,000 gold!"

Tang Hua's eyes lit up, his fat face revealed a smile, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"En!"

Hu Jianlong nodded, retracting his gaze from Tang Hua.

Following which, a pair of dignified eyes swept across the officials before finally landing on a row of generals.

"My dear sirs, which one of you is willing to be the commander and kill Xia Gou? Kill that yellow haired brat Sunn Bin? "

When the generals heard this, they did not dare to raise their heads.

Hu Jianlong said that the Xia Country Advisor was a yellow haired kid.

However, they didn't think so.

After the death of General Zhou Zhikun, the General of the Flying Cavalry Huyan Jie was the highest ranked general in the army.

Compared to Hu Jianlong, as his subordinates, they understood Huyan Jie's ability better.

Since Huyan Zhan was unable to fight against Sunn Bin, they had no confidence either.

The most important thing was, if he lost, he would be in a worse state than Huyan Zhan.

However, not everyone was without confidence. A young general with an extraordinary temperament stood out and cupped his fists as he said: "Your Majesty, this subordinate, Xun Zilin, is willing to be the commander in chief and kill every last one of the Xia Country soldiers."

Hu Jianlong's eyes lit up when he heard this.

There were a total of three great families in Shang Country City.

They were respectively the royal clan's Hu Family, Zhou Family, and the Xun clan.

Xun Zilin was a disciple of the Xun family.

He was young and had both martial and literary skills. Since young, he had the reputation of being a young genius and was also the hope of the Xun family.

Right now, he was only twenty-two years old, yet he had already become a mediator and had a bright future ahead of him.

He was also a rising star that Hu Jianlong valued greatly.

At that moment, seeing Xun Zilin standing and taking the initiative to submit, Hu Jianlong's imposing face revealed a smile.

Xun Zilin, you are familiar with the art of war, you are clever, you must be able to lead my merchant group to defeat the enemy.

"This time, we shall bestow upon you the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry, the title of 'Rebellion the Enemy's Capital Commander', and bestow upon you the order of transferring troops and tigers. "To Yanzhou."

"I hope you can eliminate the Xia Country Army and subdue the three prefectures!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xun Zilin's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his young face.

The General of Chariots and Cavalry s were below the Great General and the General of the Flying Cavalry.

However, now that Shang Country Great General and General of the Flying Cavalry had all died, this was practically the highest position in the army.

Once the retreat was successful, the Xia Country Army would be annihilated.

Then, he was almost destined to become a General of the Flying Cavalry or even a Great General!

Xun Zilin's joy was overflowing through his words, as though at this moment, he had stood at the pinnacle of his life.

Xun Zilin cupped his fist at Hu Jianlong and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. This subject will definitely defeat the Xia Country Army, take Sunn Bin's head, and present it to Your Majesty!"2

Hu Jianlong's dignified face revealed a smile, "Good! "If you can take off that yellow haired kid's head, I'll give you another reward."

"But, this retreat is no small matter. I'll have the First Prince and the experts of Baotou accompany you. I hope that you two will join hands and destroy the Xia Army together. "

Hearing that the Emperor Hu Jianlong wanted to send the First Prince and the experts of the Baotou to battle together, the martial generals trembled one after another.

Immediately after, their faces revealed a regretful and envious expression.

Regret that they did not stand out like Xun Zilin.

All the generals knew.

The First Prince's name was Hu Tian Min, he was the most proud son of the Emperor, Hu Jianlong.

With the First Prince's help, the chances of victory were very high.

Moreover, the First Prince was someone who was almost deemed as a crown prince and was the future king of Shang Country.

If he and the First Prince risked their lives together, they could build a friendship.

Then, his future was limitless!

Moreover, there was also an expert from the Baotou!

After the Great Elder Liao Loong and the other Martial King Expert s had been killed, this first-rate sect also hated the Xia Country soldiers to the bone.

The Patriarch of the Baotou, as well as every single higher ups, were also eager to annihilate the Xia Country Army and avenge the Great Elder's death!

This was the so-called victory for the fallen.

This was a powerful force.

The First Prince, Baotou, and five hundred and fifty thousand soldiers – this was an invincible force.

Every single officer believed that with such a large force, they would definitely be able to eliminate the Xia Country Army.

They regretted not coming forward to ask for orders.

Now, this great benefit had been taken away by Xun Zilin.
