C588 Tyrant Hu Jianlong

"Xun Zilin dies in battle!"

"Baotou Martial King Expert died in battle."

"The Xia Country Advisor, Sunn Bin, drowned my army's four hundred and fifty thousand!"

"The First Prince Hu Tianmin has been captured. Of the one hundred thousand men under the First Prince, only three thousand managed to escape."

"…"

Listening to the extremely sad news of the old general Ma Shuming, the emperor Hu Jianlong, and the people of the imperial court all thought of this as a bolt from the blue.

The shocking news caused their bodies to tremble violently. Their eyes widened as they were unable to believe what they had just heard.

A few days ago, in this imperial court, Xun Zilin was in high spirits and wanted to lead the huge army to annihilate the Xia Country Army.

The entire imperial court, the civil and military officials, as well as the emperor Hu Jianlong all felt that this time, they would definitely win, and they would be able to annihilate all of the damned Xia Country soldiers.

However, after a few days, such a grievous news actually came.

The five hundred and fifty thousand strong army was almost completely annihilated.

Even the First Prince, Hu Tianmin, had been captured.

Old General Ma Shuming was still narrating the details with tears streaming down his face.

He told her about the matter of the Dashang River breaking the wall, and how he exhorted her repeatedly, hoping that Xun Zilin would retreat 50 li, but in the end, he rejected her suggestion.

Emperor Hu Jianlong's face paled. The heavy blow caused muffled thunder to flash across his mind and he could not hear what Ma Shuming was saying.

However, when the people of the imperial court heard Ma Shuming's words, they became terrified.

They first retreated back to the Mount Yulin s, allowing Xun Zilin to surround Big Mountain.

He then used another wave to wipe out four hundred and fifty thousand soldiers.

This must have been calculated by Sunn Bin.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? The Xia Country Army is coming for us. "

"Your Majesty. That Sunn Bin is too scary. Now, the Xia Country Army has destroyed my Fifty-fifth Merchant Army. In a short period of time, he controlled three provinces in the vicinity of Yanzhou. Right now, one third of my Shang Country is in their hands. "

"Your Majesty, the Xia Country Army is really too powerful. From the time we invaded the Xia Country till now, only two months had passed. The Xia Country Army has killed more than a million of our merchant army's troops. "

"The Xia Country Army carrying the banner of the Revision of the Sky Xia, is about to exterminate our Shang Country! Your Majesty, how about … Let's vote... Begging for peace. "

"…"

In the imperial court, the anxious and uneasy voices of the civil and military officials rang out.

The Minister of Revenue, Bao An, also recommended Hu Jianlong to make peace.

As Hu Jianlong was immersed in his own shock and pain, he suddenly heard someone begging him for peace.

His gaze swept across the hall, finally landing on a middle-aged fatty who wore a robe.

"Bao An, you want us to make peace?!"

Hu Jianlong looked at the Minister of Revenue, Bao An.

The others followed the gaze of the emperor Hu Jianlong and swept their gazes at Bao An as well.

They were all very nervous.

Actually, many people had this thought in their hearts.

However, what they wanted was not to seek peace, but to surrender.

Businessmen are cruel by nature.

Facing the weak, they were incomparably cruel.

Even if it was just slaughtering the city, they would take it for granted.

However, if they met someone stronger than them, they would be terrified. They would be afraid of being killed in the same cruel way.

With such a powerful Xia Country, besides surrender, there was nothing else they could do.

But, they were afraid of angering Hu Jianlong, so they did not dare to say it out loud.

And then, the Minister of Revenue, Bao An, spoke out.

He meant peace.

I wonder how the Emperor will react.

Numerous gazes were like searchlights as they shot towards Bao An.

Bao An's body immediately started to heat up. His fat face was covered in sweat as he cupped his hands and said to Hu Jianlong, "Your Majesty. Since the war has reached this stage, I have already lost more than a million of my troops and I no longer have the strength to contend against the Xia Country. Rather than struggling on the brink of death, it's better to seek peace after our nation has been exterminated. "

"East of the Dashang River, there are a total of ten provinces. Now, seven of them have been taken over by the Xia Country, so we can't protect the remaining three either. It would be better to give all of these ten provinces to the Xia Country as bargaining chips so that we can have peace. In the future, we will hide our strength and cultivate our strength. When my Shang Country becomes strong again, we will be able to take back the land we lost … "

What Bao An meant was, first, to endure the humiliation and seek peace. Later, when he recovers and becomes strong again, he would take back the lost land.

However, the emperor Hu Jianlong did not hear anything.

When he heard that Bao An had said that he would give all of Dashang River east and west to Xia Country, he became so angry that he lost all reason.

To the east of Dashang River, areas from a total of ten provinces occupied nearly half of the current Shang Country.

It was something that Hu Jianlong had spent dozens of years to defeat when he was young.

He had put in a lot of effort for this.

The Minister of Revenue actually wanted him to give it to Xia Country.

Hu Jianlong's body trembled.

This was selling the country for honor!

This is a traitor!

Hu Jianlong's hair stood on end as his imposing face and eyes turned ferocious.

He stared fiercely at Bao An and said: "Bastard Bao An, how dare you ask us to make peace with the Xia Country Army?! You actually want us to give all of our Dashang River to them?! You traitor! "Someone, drag him down and kill him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As Hu Jianlong's brutal voice fell, Bao An's body suddenly trembled.

A look of disbelief appeared on his chubby face.0

The entire imperial court, as well as the civil and military officials, were all shocked at this moment.

They had thought that Hu Jianlong would not agree to the peace, but they never expected him to be so excited. He was going to kill Bao An immediately.

Two guards with sabers strode in from outside the hall. They pulled Bao An up and were about to escort him out of the hall.

At this moment, all of the ministers in the hall started begging for mercy for Bao An.

"Please have mercy, your Imperial Majesty."

"Your Majesty, we must not kill an important official in the face of a great enemy."

"Your Majesty, Minister Bao is also doing this for the good of our country. "That's why I asked for peace."

"Your Majesty, please give Minister Bao a chance to earn merits with his services."

"…"

As the Minister of Revenue, Bao An was naturally amiable and had good relations with many people. Seeing that the Emperor was going to kill him, many people began to plead for Bao An.

Some of these people were Bowen's subordinates, but there were also some colleagues of comparable rank who begged for mercy.

There was also a Minister of Rites called Wei Long.

His uncle.

They wanted to let Emperor Hu Jianlong go.

But, after Hu Jianlong heard this, he became even more furious.

Not only did their pleas not cause Hu Jianlong to have the thought of opening his eyes further, they instead made him feel that his authority as the Emperor had received a serious provocation.

His body trembled in anger!

Hu Jianlong's gaze swept across the officials kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy.

After which, his eyes became even more vicious.

Hu Jianlong's killing intent overflowed into the heavens as he stared at Wei Long and the others and said, "You bastards, you actually went as far as to plead for the rebels. "Looks like all of you want to betray me as well."

"Men, pull these traitors down and execute them all!"

"If anyone pleads again, we'll cut them down together!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
