The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Damn it!

If this is true, then everyone present, regardless of whether they are rebels or ministers, will eventually become a "traitor."

Da Qi still has a plate south of Tianjiang River!

Li Zhenbei stopped talking and no longer wanted to ascend the throne.

As for the ministers, none of them tried to persuade him.

What are you trying to persuade? If your master is not dead, you will become infamous if you persuade the rebels to ascend the throne.

Li Zhenbei and the others waited anxiously inside the palace. The sound of artillery fire outside grew louder and louder, and he tossed and turned in a state of uneasiness. Everyone was thinking about one thing...

Can Wang Zhonggan surround Li Jize, capture the empress who might be taken away, and then kill her accidentally?

If that were the case, everything would be completely perfect!

Of course, the Beiliang Wolf Riders are all cavalry. If they lead the Empress out of the encirclement...

This is going to be a difficult situation.

Everyone was terrified that Li Jize would lead the Northern Liang Wolf Riders and the Empress to break out. But none of them had ever considered an unbelievable possibility...

Li Jize defeated the rebels' 70,000 troops head-on!

Until the messenger Li Zhenbei sent out to inquire about the news came back in a hurry.

"Report!"

Before the messenger could even finish his words, Li Zhenbei eagerly asked, "How is it? How's the battle going? Has the general captured Li Jize and the woman... one of the women?"

The messenger raised his head, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Until Li Zhenbei, furious, kicked him and scolded him, "You bastard! I'm asking you a question. What happened? Did they escape?"

"Reply...Reply to the Northern King...The general...he...he was defeated! An army of 70,000 was routed, and less than a thousand escaped!"

what?

When the messenger said this, Li Zhenbei was dumbfounded, and all the civil and military officials were also stunned.

How was this battle fought?

Could it be that Li Jize repeated his previous trick against the barbarian army and attacked the central army camp from behind?

After being shocked, Li Zhenbei quickly reacted. He rushed forward and grabbed the messenger by the collar. "Tell me! How did Li Jize defeat my 80,000-man army? Did he get out from behind? Wang Zhonggan is such an idiot! How could he be so careless?"

result……

The messenger swallowed hard, "Northern...Northern King, they...they were defeated in a frontal battle...on the battlefield!"

Li Zhenbei: "..."

Civil and military ministers: "..."

Ah, is Li Jize using cheats?

When he fought against the barbarians before, he could have used sneak attacks. The barbarians' arrogance led him to attack the central army camp from behind!

This kind of classic success cannot be replicated! If you try it a second time, it will be impossible to succeed again.

It can be said that in addition to his personal bravery, luck played a big part in Li Jize's success that time.

But this time...

He's even more ruthless! How did he manage to win in a head-on confrontation?

It wasn't until the messenger revealed the muskets and artillery in Li Jize's possession that Wang Zhonggan retreated temporarily to prevent the cannon fodder from attacking the central army camp. During this retreat, Li Jize ordered the Beiliang Wolf Riders to charge, driving away the cannon fodder and disrupting their formation.

Wang Zhonggan saw that the situation was hopeless and fled with his personal guards.

"Cuckoo..."

Li Zhenbei clenched his fists, his teeth itching with hatred.

Damn Wang Zhonggan! You good-for-nothing!

I told you not to provoke Li Jize, not to fight him, but you insisted on going!

It’s fine if you went, but you got defeated by me!

On the day when I was entering the capital of Daqi and about to ascend the throne, you, Xiaodao La's butt... opened my eyes.

Ministers including Ye Xianggao looked at each other and began to discuss in low voices.

"Ok?"

Li Zhenbei was very displeased when he saw them whispering to each other. He directly scolded them, "Why are you talking?"

Ye Xianggao immediately came out and said, "Reply to the King of the North! When the former imperial consort Wang Tongjiao returned from Li Jize, he once said that he had a terrifying weapon! It's called a cannon! This thing has incredible lethality and can even be used to attack cities."

"Yes! This defeat is not the fault of the general, but rather the weapon in Li Jize's hand is too powerful."

"artillery?"

Li Zhenbei keenly noticed something. Could this thing be the same weapon as the "fire gun"?

But aren't fire guns so useless that even dogs don't use them? How powerful can artillery be?

I don’t know anything, I can only wait for Wang Zhonggan to come back and find out.

really……

That afternoon, Wang Zhonggan came running over, tumbling and crawling. As the top general of the rebel army, you could see that he was covered in dust and had a look of fear on his face.

What's the situation?

As the "instigator" of this incident, Wang Zhonggan returned defeated. In order to evade responsibility, he used the method that everyone loves to use.

That's just bragging! The more terrifying you make the enemy, the less responsibility you have.

It's not that I can't do it! It's that I met a god-like opponent.

Look, he blew the cannon up into the sky, and after one shot hit the sky...

It's like a meteorite shower all over the sky!

How can a person withstand the meteorites from the sky? Faced with such a large number of casualties, he directly ordered a retreat, and then Li Jize did not play according to the routine, hiding his cavalry at the end to drive them away.

Well... anyway, they lost in the end!

After being furious at first, Li Zhenbei had calmed down. He had noticed something important...

Li Jize! The cannon he possesses is terrifying! It can attack a city!

The other party is in Qinghe County, so is there a possibility that this guy will bring a large army to attack the royal capital?

Jia Fang's eyes rolled, having guessed the Northern King's thoughts. He quickly said, "Northern King! I believe the war has already begun! To prevent the situation from escalating, we should negotiate with the King of Qin!"

"Ok?"

When he said this, everyone at the scene was stunned!

They just wiped out 80,000 of your men, aren't you angry? Now you're going to negotiate, why?

Wang Zhonggan didn't understand. He was furious and asked coldly, "Military Advisor, what do you mean? They just slapped us hard, and now we're trying to beg for peace?"

Facing Wang Zhonggan's anger, Jia Fang remained calm. Instead, he said calmly, "King of the North! I think we should not only send envoys to seek peace, but also send him a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry in a high-profile and generous manner, and even grant him a land and a title of king!"

Li Zhenbei frowned when he heard this. After a little thought, he quickly figured out the cruelty of Jia Fang's "evil plan".

"Where did we get the gold, silver, and jewelry? I promised my soldiers to have enough food and water after we captured the capital, but this money is nowhere to be found."

Jia Fang sneered and looked at the group of former civil and military officials of Da Qi in the court. These people couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs.
