Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Sure enough, after Xue Taiping spoke, everyone at the scene fell silent.

They naturally knew how valuable these two pieces of land were.

After Qin Ming took it, he could attack if he advanced, but he could not defend if he retreated, as this was a plain area.

But this also makes it more convenient for them to carry out logistics construction here.

By then, once we have complete control over this place.

They used this place as a base and attacked in all directions, and no one could stop them.

Logistics can also be quickly replenished here.

"If you have any other questions, please tell me."

Emperor Yan nodded slowly and continued to look at everyone.

Everyone immediately started discussing it.

"Master Xue is right. This piece of land must not be given to Qin Ming."

"But even if we give it to Yan Zheng, can he really help us?"

"If we give too much to such a disloyal person, won't we be in danger in the future?"

"I don't think we need to give him too many people. The court should just express its willingness to accept him and let him continue to help with things."

"You wish! Do you think I'm a fool?"

It is difficult to satisfy everyone, everyone has their own reason.

After discussing for a while, they still didn't reach any conclusion.

In the end, it was the Emperor of Yan who stepped in to end the dispute.

"enough."

As Emperor Yan spoke, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"I already know what you all think."

"Arrange the remaining 30,000 Tiger Roar Guards to support him and tie down Qin Ming for three months."

"Within these three months..."

While speaking, Emperor Yan's gaze was fixed on a strong man who had been silent.

This broad and strong man stood out among the group of civil servants.

Just now when everyone was discussing it.

He just stood in his corner and said nothing.

Now that he heard Emperor Yan's arrangements, he finally raised his head.

"His Majesty."

"Zuo Hu, with your 200,000 Imperial City troops, can you wipe out Qin Ming's troops in other areas within three months?"

"enough."

Zuo Hu nodded.

After hearing the number of 200,000 imperial troops, everyone present suddenly widened their eyes.

They had no objection to Emperor Yan's arrangement.

Compared to those famous troops.

In fact, all the nobles understood that the most elite troops in the court had always been in the hands of Emperor Yan.

It is the imperial city troops in his hands!

These imperial troops never participate in wars on weekdays.

Because all the cruel training they went through was just to protect the imperial city.

The imperial court spent countless fortunes every year to support them.

But no one knows what level their strength has reached.

We can only judge from some clues that their combat power is definitely higher than that of the Tiger Roar Guards!

In order to resist the heavy pressure from Qin Ming.

He actually reluctantly pulled out a portion of the imperial city's troops and sent them to the front line.

This can indeed stop Qin Ming's troops.

You can even repel it!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Yan Renshou spoke loudly, expressing his attitude.

Xue Taiping followed closely.

"Your Majesty, we are humbled by your wise words!"

Emperor Yan's move did not actually give Yan Zheng many troops, but it allowed them to return the initiative on the battlefield to their hands.

Thirty thousand troops are enough to protect Yan Zheng from death.

……

As the Yan Dynasty's order spread step by step.

Qin Ming also received the news quickly.

At this time, they were encircling and suppressing Yan Zheng.

Qin Ming did not ask all the troops on the front line to come back.

He just led the troops in the rear and continued to pursue Yan Zheng.

This also makes their efficiency much lower.

In fact, Yan Ziqiong had discussed with Qin Ming that he wanted Ye Shoujiang and others on the front line to come back to double-team Yan Zheng.

Unfortunately, since the order from Yan Dynasty was issued.

The lords from all over the country heard the news and took action.

It doesn’t matter who they depend on. The most important thing is to be a good fence-sitter.

It seemed that the imperial court had already arranged people to come and support the Yan campaign.

At this time, if they continue to refuse to cooperate, they will most likely be liquidated by Yan Zheng in the future.

So the nobles who were close to Yan Zheng's territory all changed their previous behavior of pretending to be dead.

Send troops to entangle Ye Shoujiang and Heifu's front-line troops, preventing them from retreating and encircling Yan Zheng, and buying space for Yan Zheng to survive.

Ye Shoujiang and his men had no choice but to fight with these people.

Although there were many gains, the army's progress was still slowed down.

Yan Zheng is also in a difficult situation. The court has clearly stated that it can provide him with help.

But it takes time for people to come.

At least half a month, at most a month.

At this time, he could only hold on with the remaining troops in his hands.

The strength of Qin Ming's troops is world-famous.

Let these defeated soldiers and generals fight against Qin Ming's troops.

Yan Zheng felt that this was like an egg hitting a stone.

There was no way, he could only fight and retreat.

Later, he even cleared out a plain city under Yan Ziqiong's command.

Use it as a fortress to defend against Qin Ming's attack.

Fortunately, the city on Yan Ziqiong's side was previously poured with concrete and is very strong.

This also gave Yan Zheng the strength to continue fighting with Qin Ming.

But new problems arise.

They have no food.

Weapons and ammunition are scarce.

Even the bows and crossbows were picked up from the battlefield outside and used again after a defensive battle.

So Qin Ming gave the order to surround Pingyuan City, which was defended by Yan Zheng.

Although Yan Zheng, who was trapped inside, would not be killed directly, this would be more painful than killing him.

Qin Ming directly cut off the city's river from upstream.

Without water, food or weapons, their defense became extremely difficult.

That day, Yan Zheng's men came to find him again.

"Your Highness, we have no water."

"How is that possible? Didn't we find a few wells in the city a few days ago?"

Yan Zheng immediately put down the information in his hand, frowned and asked.

A few days ago, in order to solve the problem of water and food shortage.

He specifically ordered people to search the city and found several wells.

"No more. Our army of more than 100,000 has drunk not a drop left."

They found a solution a few days ago, but the water wells are limited.

The water inside could not possibly supply so many people.

This news suddenly made Yan Zheng's heart even gloomier.

He kept thinking in his mind what to do.

At this time, several of his generals came over to him and asked for his orders:

"Your Highness, we can't wait any longer."

"Brothers, we haven't had any rice in the kitchen for several days."

"Please give us the order to go out and search for resources. We will definitely be able to grab some and bring them back."

"you……"

Yan Zheng raised his head and looked at them hesitantly.

That being said, there is also the possibility of seizing military supplies.

But everyone knows that the possibility is too low.

As long as we get out of this city and face Qin Ming's troops, we will be dead!

"Please grant me your blessing, Your Highness!"

"Ugh……"

Yan Zheng sighed.

squeak...

In the end, the gates of Taiping City were opened.

Dozens of troops rushed out from inside.

Qin Ming, who had been guarding outside, was stunned when he saw this scene.

Then he suddenly laughed.

"You guys are so bold, how dare you come out?"
