Wang and Tan, the former had been stationed in the capital, while the latter had learned that the capital was in danger and brought his troops to protect the emperor.

After hearing the emperor's personal decree, even though they were still a little hesitant, they looked at each other and made up their minds to obey the emperor's order.

The current situation is really not suitable for arguing about what is right or wrong, let alone caring about face and dignity.

As long as they can defeat the invading bandits from Wu Yu, what's the big deal if they obey the orders of the Yan people?

As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later.

Your Majesty is right. The worst outcome is death, but whether this death is worth it depends on whether it is worth it.

It's worth it to deal with the one who deserves to die the most before dying.

The country that deserved the most damnation was naturally Wuyu. Since the establishment of Xixiang, it had always had a close relationship with Xixiang. It was said that the Emperor Taizu, who founded the country, was a prince of Yan State. He was framed and deposed and sent here.

It was because of the repeated attempts by the Wu Yu Kingdom that Yu De declared himself king.

The two countries have had good relations for many years, but now they are trying to annex Xixiang.

The ministers in the court gathered the information about Wu Yu State collected by the past dynasties and analyzed it again. They felt that Wu Yu’s intention against Xi Xiang should have existed a long time ago. As long as the year when Xi Xiang was founded, that is to say, Wu Yu had been planning against Xi Xiang from the beginning.

Now that I think about it, this is actually not very surprising, because two of the previous emperors of Wu Yu did something similar.

First, make friends with the small countries around, and when the time is right, change your attitude and send troops to annex the other party, so that the territory of Wu Yu State can be expanded.

This move by Karasuba was despised by neighboring countries, and some said that Karasuba was a bandit country.

Now this bandit country has taken action against Xixiang.

Since our own military force is unable to resist and other countries come to our aid, there is nothing wrong with following their orders.

Wang and Tan jumped on their horses and headed straight ahead.

"Your Majesty, since the soldiers from Yan State are coming, why don't you return to the palace first?" a minister said.

Zhou Hong shook his head. He would not go back to the palace. He wanted to stay here and watch the battle situation at the front.

He knew all about Yan Guo Xue Wenyu's ability to lead troops and his glorious achievements over the years.

He wanted to watch here and see the Wuyu bandits being beaten. Of course, it would be even better if they could destroy them all here.

Let them pay for the lives of the soldiers and generals who died in the battle against Xixiang and the innocent civilians who died tragically.

"Father, why don't we go up to the city wall where the view is better." The eldest prince Zhou Jian understood his father's intention and spoke.

Sure enough, the emperor nodded, turned around and walked towards the city gate. The heavy armor on his body did not affect his speed. It seemed that he was afraid that if he slowed down, he would miss the most exciting battle in front of him. The emperor entered the city gate and went up to the tower. The civil officials thought about it and followed him. Zhou Ying stood in place, looked at the tower, and turned to look forward. "Xiaojiu, the emperor asked you to come up." The third prince called out from the tower.

Inside the city gate, the common people who were holding kitchen knives and hoes and wanted to help defend the city had no idea what was happening outside the city gate. They just watched the emperor and others come in again.

In the past, ordinary people like them, even if they had lived in the imperial city for generations, had no chance to see the emperor.

Xuan? The emperor didn't flee from the battlefield to hide in the palace because he was afraid of death, but he went up to the city wall?

The people who were waiting anxiously at the foot of the city wall saw a smile on the emperor's face, not fear.

What is going on? Hasn't Lincheng been captured and occupied?

The remaining soldiers of Xi Xiang are all here. Did they defeat the Wu Yu soldiers? Is it because the troops of the capital are more powerful?

Just as I was curious, I saw a dusty young man rushing in, holding the corner of his robe and running up to the city wall.

"Ninth Prince, slow down and be careful." Someone at the city gate shouted worriedly.

The Ninth Prince? That boy is the Ninth Prince?

The people followed the little figure, thinking that it is said that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes. Your Majesty is not afraid of death and wears armor to protect the city in person, but your Majesty's children are also not good.

At this age, he doesn't even know fear and is leaving the palace and the city?

On the tower, a group of people stared ahead with wide eyes. Xixiang's troops had already met with Yan's troops.

The soldiers gathered together, and looking from a high place, it seemed that their numbers were still a little less than Wu Yu's.

The confrontation with Wu Yu's troops is still going on.

The people on the city gate guessed that the soldiers of Wu Yu Kingdom, especially the crown prince Wu Ziban, must be in a daze at this moment.

Now I don’t know which side will attack first.

At this moment, in the Xixiang Palace, the queen and concubines were ready to die, as well as

Standing not far from the palace, the pale-faced eunuchs holding torches were all extremely nervous.

Finally, I saw someone crawling over.

Queen Shangguan Yan sighed softly and raised her hand to signal the eunuchs outside that they could start.

The concubines and ladies behind her were pale-faced. Some began to pour poisoned wine, while others stood on chairs to grab the white stick that had been hung long ago.

Suddenly, someone outside shouted, "Don't light the fire, the city has not been broken."

Those who were preparing to die inside the palace and those who were preparing to use torches to light the dry firewood surrounding the palace were all stunned.

Did I hear it wrong? Was I too nervous and had an illusion?

"Empress, the soldiers of Wu Yu Kingdom have not broken through the city. Reinforcements are coming." The eunuch who reported the news fell into the palace and told excitedly.

What, reinforcements?

Where would the reinforcements come from? Most of the troops Xi Xiang could mobilize had already been killed in the battle.

"The soldiers of Yan State were led by Xue Wenyu himself, and he is said to have blocked the way for the Wuyu soldiers." The eunuch added.

Inside the palace, those holding poisoned wine cups and salt, those standing on high stools holding white sutras, and the concubines crowded together, and the palace maids in the corner all looked at the queen.

Is it possible to not die first?

Or should we wait and see what happens?

After all, the reinforcements from Yan State are not necessarily reinforcements!

"Soldiers from Yan State? They said they are here to help? Is that right? Where did you get the news? Did you hear it clearly?" Concubine Yu beside the Queen asked hurriedly.

I just heard that they captured all the princes and princesses, and now they say they're coming as reinforcements?

"Replying to Concubine Yu, my information was told by the soldiers guarding the city. He didn't say anything specific. By the way, it seems that it was brought back by the Ninth Prince." The eunuch tried hard to think and answer.

"Ninth Prince? Ying'er?" Shangguan Xia asked in disbelief.

Similarly, at this moment, in front of the two armies, Wu Ziling was also shocked and confused when he saw the Yan Kingdom’s army suddenly appearing in front of him.

How could he bring troops here? Father and his ministers analyzed intelligence information from various sources, and it was clearly stated that the reason why Yan State mobilized troops to gather in Qucheng was entirely to prevent Wu Yu from taking over Xixiang and taking the opportunity to invade Yan State, and they had no intention of coming to share a piece of the pie!

The spy reported that Xue Wenyu came to Qucheng with his wife. If he really wanted to rob Xixiang, how could he bring his wife with him, especially when she was pregnant?

Therefore, my father issued an edict to continue to send reinforcements to Xixiang, capture the capital of Xixiang, and take Xixiang in one fell swoop.

"Your Highness, what should we do now? Fight or not?" A general beside Wu Ziling had been observing his own prince for a long time. Seeing his tangled face, he asked tentatively...
