The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun immediately issued an order the next day to block all news about Xiliang Pancheng to avoid causing unrest.

But even so, the news that he was going to lead the army in person spread like wildfire, and when it reached the harem, the women were immediately furious.

They are all women, how can I not worry?

Qin Yun also patiently comforted them one by one, saying that with hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line and several cities guarding it, nothing would be possible.

After talking so much that his lips were almost smoking, the girls finally accepted it reluctantly.

Afterwards, Qin Yun quickly began to explain the affairs of the court. After he left, the base camp must not be in chaos and he had to make multiple preparations.

In the afternoon.

A piece of news reached the imperial capital.

Qin Yun held the envelope, his eyes widened, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

He stepped back and sat down on the dragon throne, unable to speak for a long time.

When the ministers saw this scene, they were all shocked and surprised!

Your Majesty, what's going on?

What's in the envelope?

His Majesty, who has always been steady, has lost his composure like this. Has the war on the front line been confirmed?

After a long time, Qin Yun clenched the letter tightly, almost crushing it into powder.

"How long will it take for the Shenjiying and other units to assemble?!"

Minister of War Zhao Heng said cautiously: "Your Majesty, according to the plan, tonight at midnight."

"Okay, pass on my order. All troops will assemble and march out of the city directly. There is no need for military performances or oaths."

"I will rush to Xiliang overnight!"

After Qin Yun finished speaking, he walked down the dragon ladder with a gloomy face and left quickly.

There was an uproar in the Tai Chi Hall!

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Alas, what else could it be? Your Majesty is in such a hurry to leave that he even cancelled the oath-taking ceremony. It's obvious that the war ahead is urgent!"

"That's impossible, but the court has not received any definite news so far."

Everyone was talking about it, and the place was filled with anxiety, suspicion, uneasiness, and crisis.

Gu Chuntang and others sighed to the sky and were deeply saddened.

"We have just finished the spring harvest, and things are happening one after another. Is this God's will? Is Daxia destined to recover from the turmoil?"

On the way out of town.

Chang Hong and the others finally couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, may I ask about today's letter...?"

Qin Yun opened his eyes, his hand bones turned white, and his face looked extremely ugly.

"Pancheng is about to be broken."

hiss……

Feng Lao, Chang Hong, Tao Yang and others all gasped, their pupils dilated, as if they had heard something horrible.

Pancheng is the gateway to Xiliang. When it was captured, tens of thousands of elite soldiers died due to the successful surprise attack.

And now, it’s been revealed?!

"Your Majesty, Pancheng is about to be captured..."

"What about Marshal Xiao's 100,000 troops?" Chang Hong asked this question with difficulty, and then his face gradually turned pale.

Seeing everyone's gazes fixed on me, my heart nearly jumped into my throat.

Pancheng, that’s where Xiao Jian is stationed.

If everything is exposed, with Xiao Jian's temper...

Qin Yun frowned, his face looked grim, and he looked more worried than ever before!

"Xiao Jian was seriously injured in the battle, the entire left camp was wiped out, and the number of defenders in the city is decreasing sharply every day..."

"He didn't want to abandon the city, thinking he would wait for our reinforcements, but the messenger asking for help was intercepted."

"I'm so sorry for him!!"

When he said this, his eyes suddenly turned red.

It is hard to imagine what kind of despair the army of less than 100,000 in Pancheng has experienced these days!

The army is approaching and we are surrounded by enemies on all sides.

But they had to fight to the death, waiting for a long time for reinforcements, and watching everything around them being swallowed by despair.

Just by looking at the letter, Qin Yun seemed to be able to see those pairs of desperate eyes and the cold mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Everyone's scalp was numb. Once Pancheng was lost, the war against Liang would be passive.

Moreover, the blow to morale was unprecedented.

Qin Yun warned hoarsely: "This matter must be kept completely confidential!"

"Once it's leaked, the army's morale will be shaken!"

“The people will panic too!”

Everyone was shocked: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Elder Feng asked again tentatively: "Your Majesty, didn't the King of Zhenbei send out troops?"

"He should be able to provide support when Pancheng is in danger."

Qin Yun rubbed his temple and sighed, "It's not that easy. Wang Min of Xiliang is not a fool. She has already dispatched troops to accumulate in Zigui City."

"As long as Qi Keng helps, it will be exactly what she wants. Zigui City will send a large number of troops to attack the northern border!"

"Besides, the battle line is too long. Youzhou below is empty, and Wang Min is also eyeing us covetously..."

"Ah! This...what should I do?" Chang Hong's cheeks were pale.

"Doesn't that mean the entire Pancheng is trapped in a lonely battle?"

"More than ten days?!"

Qin Yun nodded painfully: "If it weren't for Xiao Jian, if it was someone else, the city would have been breached long ago."

"The entire Pancheng is covered with corpses!"

He patted the carriage heavily, feeling extremely regretful.

"Then how do we go? Is it still in time?" Chang Hong asked again.

Everyone was silent, looking pessimistic.

Qin Yun gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were white: "It's too late, but I have to go!"

"I believe in Xiao Jian, just as he believes in me. The continuous defeat in Pancheng was caused by the dereliction of duty of the imperial court."

"I went there to save the people from disaster and save the people from misfortune!"

"We can only win, not lose. If we lose, the people of the Central Plains will surely be trampled by the iron hooves of Xiliang!"

Hearing this, everyone felt a chill down their spine.

I was horrified by the seriousness of this!

No wonder His Majesty had such a complicated and frightened expression when he went to court today.

It turns out that the situation on the front line is ten or even a hundred times worse than imagined!

"Your Majesty, where are we going now?"

Qin Yun took a deep breath.

"First go find Gongsun Ruoshui, then find Su Yan. We still have a few hours to go, and I have some things to tell you."

"Yes!" everyone responded, their expressions completely solemn.

The low-key carriage drove out of Xuanwu Gate and headed straight for the Gongsun family's new mansion in the imperial capital.

The war situation in Xiliang, which was suppressed by Qin Yun, did not cause panic in the court or the public.

At this time, the border city.

As night fell, layer upon layer of dark clouds covered the city. Wherever there was war, the stench of corpses and the smell of blood filled the air!

That broken Xiao flag is so conspicuous!

Just like this isolated and helpless army, what awaits them is final destruction.

In the distance, the sound of drums could be heard.

Zhang Ren, it’s time to call back the troops.

This is the third siege today, and it is finally over.

The officers and soldiers on the Pancheng city wall were covered in blood.

They were exhausted, all collapsed on the city wall, their pupils exuding numbness and helplessness...

"I've retired. I've finally retired."

"Hold it..." The voice was filled with despair.

"Woooooooo..."

Suddenly, a wailing sound was heard. A man couldn't bear the despair and burst into tears with his head in his hands!

He was crying alone, and the emotions quickly became aroused on the city wall where corpses were strewn all over the place.

Thousands of wounded soldiers began to wail and cry!

"Wow, I don't want to die. My wife is still waiting for me in the countryside."

"My father promised me a marriage, but I haven't gotten married yet."

"If I die, who will take care of my mother..."
