I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Outside the Songtao County checkpoint, Marshal Guo Zixia was in the temporary command post.

With a frown on his face, he asked the people around him, "What's the current situation of the Sixth Division? Has any news been sent back?"

Han Tianrong, the division commander, replied in a serious tone: "Report to the Marshal, there is no news yet."

"But based on previous intelligence and deployment, I believe they shouldn't have much trouble taking down the 10th Division."

Marshal Guo Zixia frowned and said firmly, "No! Commander Han, send a telegram to the Sixth Division immediately."

"Ask them to speed up, resolve the battle as quickly as possible, and come to support us quickly."

"We originally expected this operation to be an easy win, but now it seems that even our five divisions against three divisions is so difficult."

"We must rely on the support of the Sixth Division to change the current situation."

Commander Han Tianrong nodded, indicating that he understood the importance of the mission, and then turned around to convey the order.

At the same time, two hundred kilometers away from Songtao County.

Second Battalion Commander Chen Yanlin was on the march reporting to Regiment Commander Chen Yixin: "Report to the Regiment Commander, I just received a telegram from Marshal Guo asking for information."

"Inquire about the situation of the Sixth Division and request an early end to the war. At the same time, request that the Sixth Division provide support as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Captain Chen Yixin's eyes flashed with cunning, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised as he said, "Very good, then find a communications officer from the Sixth Division and have him report to Marshal Guo immediately."

"Tell him that we have made a major breakthrough and will complete the support mission as soon as possible."

Second Battalion Commander Chen Yanlin smiled and said he understood, then turned around to find a suitable communications officer to carry out this task.

In Songtao County at this time.

Marshal He Junkai stood in the command center, pacing back and forth anxiously, his face full of worry and uneasiness.

He was always concerned about the situation of the 10th Division, because if the 10th Division could not hold back the 6th Division.

Then the entire battle situation might fall into chaos.

As time passed, Marshal He Junkai felt increasingly depressed.

Finally, he stopped and ordered the Second Division Commander Zhu Xuanang beside him: "Contact Division Commander Qin immediately."

"Ask about their situation and whether they can hold back the Sixth Division!"

Second Division Commander Zhu Xuanang responded quickly: "Yes, Marshal!"

"It's just that... our casualties so far have been quite heavy."

"If the 10th Division cannot successfully hold back the 6th Division, I'm afraid we will face the danger of total collapse."

Hearing this, Marshal He Junkai's face turned gloomy.

He knew what this meant, but as a commander he had to remain calm.

"Master Zhu, if it really comes to that, we will have no choice."

"We can only push the little emperor out as a shield." Marshal He Junkai gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

Second Division Commander Zhu Xuanang nodded to show that he understood.

After some time had passed, Brigade Commander Zhao Xuannan of the 10th Division received news from the Marshal.

Brigade Commander Zhao Xuannan pondered for a moment, then firmly gave an order to the signalman: "Reply to the marshal and tell him that we have held back the Sixth Division."

"There is absolutely no way the Sixth Division can break through our defense line. Please rest assured, Marshal!"

The signalman immediately conveyed the news.

At the same time, in the little emperor's residence, the Minister of Rites was standing respectfully and reporting the situation to the little emperor: "Your Majesty."

"Marshal He has evil ambitions, he deserves death!"

"Now that he has completely broken off with Marshal Guo, we must make plans early!"

The little emperor was extremely handsome, with delicate eyebrows, red lips, white teeth, and skin as white as snow.

And there is a hint of red in the whiteness, as beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Don't be fooled by his young age, he is only seventeen years old this year.

But there is an innate noble temperament in his every move.

It's just that he spoke with a somewhat sissy accent, which made people feel pity for him.

However, despite his seemingly glorious appearance, he is actually a pitiful person.

Since he ascended the throne, he has never truly grasped power.

The entire court has been firmly controlled by two marshals who command heavy troops.

Now that the two marshals have fallen out, his situation is the most difficult.

Hearing the words of the Minister of Rites, the little emperor frowned slightly, with a trace of helplessness and distress on his face: "My dear, don't I understand what you said?"

"But what can I do now?"

The Minister of Rites said quickly: "Your Majesty, no matter what the final outcome of this fight is."

"No matter which marshal wins, it won't be a good thing for us."

The little emperor sighed, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "Yes, my dear, you are right."

"But the current situation is chaotic, and we can only take it one step at a time."

The Minister of Rites bowed his head in thought for a moment, then looked up at the little emperor, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Your Majesty."

"I think we cannot just sit there and wait for death. We should prepare for a rainy day and make countermeasures in advance."

The little emperor nodded, indicating his agreement: "My dear minister, what you said makes sense. In your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

The Minister of Rites bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can try to contact other forces."

"Seek their support or cooperation, so that even if the situation is unfavorable in the future, we will have an extra guarantee."

What the Minister of Rites meant by seeking cooperation with other forces was nothing more than foreign countries.

But Fengguo is a colony of Windmill Kingdom, who would be willing to help?

This is like a sheep in a pen wanting to seek help from a wolf, which is simply a pipe dream.

What's more, they are now under the nose of Marshal He, so how to contact them is a problem.

In addition, all the ministers have their own little plans.

After hearing this, the little emperor fell into deep thought. The Minister of Rites' suggestion was indeed very reasonable.

However, there is panic in the court and the ministers have their own thoughts. It is very difficult to get them to unite.

Moreover, the current situation is unpredictable and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

The little emperor sighed slowly, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness: "Alas...My dear, let's put this matter aside for now."

"I need some time to think about it."

"Please leave first and let me be alone for a while."

The Minister of Rites glanced at the little emperor worriedly, knowing that he must be very conflicted and in pain at this moment.

He bowed deeply and said softly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then he turned and left the room, leaving the little emperor alone.

Quietly thinking about how to go forward in the future.
