I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

The secret guard followed the instructions and reported to the court: "Your Majesty, the secret guards from Deng State sent news not long ago that Deng State has indeed sent a large army to attack our Great Xia.

However, it has not yet reached the point where the whole country needs to be mobilized.

New information has not yet been delivered, I will have someone continue to pay attention to it."

After His Majesty asked this question, he received the expected answer.

He waved to the secret guard, who saluted, retreated silently, and disappeared into the darkness again.

The emperor acted as planned, pretending to be indifferent, and said to the anxious ministers below: "How can any of you behave like a loyal minister in the court!

Why are you all panicking?

Minister Liu, none of my people have received the news, how did you know about it?"

Liu Shangshu remained silent when asked.

The emperor glanced at him majestically and snorted at the crowd, "Humph! You all believe such false news!

If Deng State really mobilizes the entire country to besiege Daxia, isn't he afraid that the neighboring Han State will take the opportunity to send troops and attack them from both sides?

In order to go to war with Daxia, has Deng State disregarded everything?

Pass on my order, ordering General Han who is guarding the city to resist with all his strength and to defend the territory of Daxia!"

The emperor had already made a decision, and he acted arbitrarily and no one needed to discuss it.

After issuing the decree, the emperor turned away, leaving the ministers looking at each other in bewilderment.

Some looked calm, while others were beating their chests anxiously.

Some also looked anxious with excitement flashing in their eyes.

Some even jumped up and down in panic, shouting, "Our emperor is old, maybe he has become confused!

How can such a big thing be solved so hastily? "

"Yes! We have always been on good terms with the Deng Kingdom. Why did they suddenly send troops? We must send an envoy to find out!"

……

Everyone stayed together for a while, discussing how to resolve this crisis.

But the emperor, the real ruler, has already passed away, so what can these ministers do no matter how anxious they are?

What if there is a good plan? You can't bypass the emperor's order.

Naturally, he secretly took note of what everyone said, thinking of reporting it to the emperor next time he went to court.

Although everyone was dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior, they could only complain and then disperse.

The news from the court soon reached the ears of those who were interested.

The leader of the rebel army got the news and said to his subordinates happily: "Great! The emperor of Daxia is really conceited. Wait and let them be proud for a few more days."

Upon hearing this, the rebel soldiers all laughed and agreed loudly.

"Hahaha, that's right! We sent people to tell them the news, but they didn't believe it. Hahaha, that's what you call it, good advice can't persuade a damned ghost."

"Hahaha, Da Xia has been in turmoil for so long, it's time for us to purify it according to our Saint Emperor's prophecy. Even the gods are helping us!"

The rebel troops all thought that the situation was already a sure thing.

Just wait until the war becomes more intense and the Great Xia court starts to get anxious, then everything can go according to plan.

Once they conquer Daxia, they will be able to return to their homeland soon.

The rebel soldiers thought so, and each of them was happy from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, Military Advisor Chen said, "My lord, we still need to be cautious.

The Emperor of Daxia doesn't look like a foolish and incompetent person.

I'm afraid it's just a deliberate attempt to confuse us."

Upon hearing this, the rioters fell into deep thought.

"My lord, I do not agree with Brother Chen's words. Deng State and Daxia have always been at peace. Now that Deng State has suddenly sent troops, it will naturally be regarded as a provocation against Daxia.

Besides, our plan was to start the war slowly first, so it was not surprising that their people did not get the specific information.

After all, they don't know that South Korea has long been controlled by people from our homeland." said a military advisor who has always disagreed with military advisor Chen's political views.

After hearing this, the rebel army began to think again.

They all think it makes sense.

After another round of discussion, it was finally decided to proceed with the original plan.

"My lord, I think that no matter what the intention of the Emperor of Daxia is, we can take advantage of this time to vigorously develop our power and win over the officials of Daxia." Military Advisor Chen suggested again.

"Okay, that's exactly what I meant." The lord agreed with a smile.

There was another round of discussion and the orders were given one by one.

In this way, another half a month passed.

This war, which seemed inexplicable to everyone, eventually became an emergency.

The imperial court received urgent letters from the border asking for help.

In the court, the ministers were becoming increasingly anxious.

With the issuance of the imperial decree to recruit soldiers and collect grain, the people, who had just enjoyed a few years of relaxation, became panic-stricken again.

And at this moment, the rebel army, which had not been heard from for many years, began to cause chaos again.

However, they are all small-scale, and although small-scale, they are also quite tricky.

The rebel army would suddenly appear there, and when the soldiers rushed over, they would hide again, as slippery as loaches.

For a time, the situation in Daxia was even more turbulent.

As soon as the people finished their work for the day, they would close their doors and windows early, and they didn't even dare to light the lights at night.

When the ministers went to court, they also sent twice as many people to protect them...

During the morning court session that day, the emperor was so shocked by the news brought by the secret guards that he fainted.

"Your Majesty, the secret guards of Deng State have sent back news that Deng State is really mobilizing the entire country to launch a war against our Great Xia.

Now our Great Xia soldiers have been defeated step by step and have lost five cities in a row. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."

The leader of the secret guards knelt in the center of the hall, his voice full of sorrow, shame and nervousness, but he forced himself to speak clearly.

When the emperor heard the news, he stood up suddenly, but because he stood up so quickly, his body fell backwards uncontrollably.

Eunuch Pei at the side exclaimed, "Your Majesty!" He hurried forward to support him, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

The imperial physician came and gave His Majesty a series of examinations, including pinching the Ren Zhong acupoint and pricking the fingertips with needles to let blood. After such a busy time, His Majesty finally recovered.

"What's wrong with me?" the emperor asked weakly.

The court officials below also looked at the imperial physician with concern.

This is the second time that His Majesty has fainted in the court. The last time was because of the emperor's grandson, and this time was because of the war.

Is it true that the Great Xia is about to run out of luck?

Although the current crown prince is excellent, the internal strife has strengthened the enemy. If something happens to the emperor again, how will the Great Xia court continue?

But the imperial physician said with a worried look: "Your Majesty, you are so angry that your heart is beating. Your Majesty must take care of your health and must not be anxious!"

"Damn it! This Deng Kingdom is really bullying us because we have no one in Great Xia!

Pass on my order to continue recruiting soldiers and transporting food and fodder for support.

Let General Han fight to the death and take back the lost city for me!"
