Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Faced with such a major turning point, Xu Jiangong did not dare to make a rash decision.

The decision-making power should still be given to Liu Qin.

As for himself, he planned to stay where he was for a day or two.

Although Liu Qin had originally told him that he had to reach the Western Regions within the specified time.

But facing an obstacle like the Datong Sect, preserving the army is his top priority now.

As the tragic losses of the front-line troops spread back to the Western Shu court.

In the harem, Liu Qin received the news on the second day.

Looking at the letters sent back from the front line, Liu Qin's face turned pale and blue.

His purpose in providing support to the Western Regions coalition forces was to please both sides and expand the influence of Western Shu.

But before this trick could be used, it was strangled in the cradle.

This was a heavy blow to Liu Qin, who had just come to power and was attempting to establish order in the entire court through force.

Not only did it damage his reputation, but it also caused considerable damage to the morale of the troops under his command.

"Bastard!"

Liu Qin was so angry that he slammed the table, stood up from his chair, and paced back and forth in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and his men are here."

At this time, one of his men quickly came to Liu Qin and spoke in a low voice.

Ever since Liu Qin ascended the throne.

Liu Qin took the lead.

Large and small courts were set up in the imperial court.

The Grand Court was no different from the original court meetings. Every day, all officials came to attend court and everyone made judgments on state affairs.

The small court is the power he supports. There are some things he will only talk about behind closed doors.

After the court session was over, the officials supported by Liu Qin would come to the palace to discuss matters.

This move successfully divided the court into two levels and also made it easier for Liu Qin to take power.

After the prime minister brought several of Liu Qin's confidants into the hall, Liu Qin placed the letter in front of them.

"have a look."

After everyone finished reading it, they immediately discussed:

"The Datong Sect has developed to this point. The Western Regions coalition is a bunch of useless people. Even with the help of Western Shu, whether they can win is still uncertain."

"We've put so much effort into helping them, but they haven't shown any interest in us yet. It feels a bit unfair."

"Your Majesty, the Datong Sect's combat power is growing too rapidly. I have a feeling someone is manipulating this."

At this time, Prime Minister Du Qian suddenly spoke and made an extremely important point.

Liu Qin, who was as angry as the other ministers, suddenly came to his senses at this time.

It is indeed surprising that the Datong sect has been able to develop so rapidly.

But this was mainly because they had previously digested all the legacy of the Western Region Chamber of Commerce.

But why are their troops so powerful?

This goes against common sense.

Unless someone helps.

Otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to reach this level.

You have to know that their scout troops and vanguard troops, no matter how hard they fight on the battlefield, it is impossible that no one will survive, and there will not even be anyone to come back and report the news!

But the reality is that none of them can survive.

As long as you come into contact with the enemy, you will be killed.

Such a gap was like a divine punishment, and it only appeared when they met Daqian.

"What Prime Minister Du means is..."

Liu Qin narrowed his eyes and looked at Du Qian.

Du Qian took a deep breath and whispered:

"Withdraw it."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around them suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Du Qian in disbelief.

"Du Xiang, you are not kidding, right?"

"The treasury is running low on silver, and we've spent quite a bit on this trip. If we don't get more, we won't even be able to pay Daqian."

"Yes, we agreed to get some silver from the Western Regions coalition forces."

The advance and retreat of troops are no joke.

Whenever they send troops, they have to prepare food, weapons and equipment, send them to the front line, and coordinate with all parties.

The marching route also needs to be planned, which is a very large project.

After making so many preparations, I didn't get any benefits and came back in disgrace.

Then all their previous efforts would be in vain.

The sudden order to retreat, and the key point is that it was Du Qian who came up with this idea, which made everyone feel very strange.

But what shocked them even more was that Liu Qin was silent for a moment when he heard Du Qian's suggestion.

Then he suddenly nodded.

"Withdraw and stop fighting."

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

"You must think twice."

Everyone started to advise, but Liu Qin said with a gloomy face:

"Like Prime Minister Du, I suspect that people from Daqian are involved. If that's the case, then we shouldn't fight them."

After Du Qian's reminder, Liu Qin suddenly realized it.

The Datong sect has been on too smooth a path.

Now even the strength of their troops has improved so much.

It is obvious that there is definitely someone supporting this.

The first thing they thought of was Daqian.

Although Qin Ming never showed on the surface that he wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Western Regions.

But does he really think so?

There is no guarantee that he is not silently manipulating the situation in the Western Regions behind the scenes.

Combined with the original struggle among the three forces, the subsequent decline of the Western Region Chamber of Commerce, and the rise of the Datong Sect against the trend, the annexation of the wealth left by Chu Ying completely completed the reversal.

Many of the key turning points here cannot be explained by normal logic.

"what?"

This reason was enough to calm the situation.

After hearing the reason, everyone fell silent.

As their discussion ended.

As soon as the news arrived that evening, it was quickly sent to the front line.

Before anyone could react, Xu Jiangong received the news and led his troops away from the Western Border.

The reinforcements that the Western Region coalition forces were hoping for did not arrive.

This news immediately caused a huge uproar in the Western Regions.

The front-line troops of the Western Region Allied Forces began to retreat and gave up part of the land.

Originally they were hoping for reinforcements to come and help them relieve the defensive pressure.

This way at least they won't lose too much land.

Unexpectedly, they never got any reinforcements and they just found a random excuse to withdraw their troops.

Although we don’t know what problems they have encountered, the pressure of reality has already come one after another, making them breathless.

After discussion, the Western Region Allied Forces decided to give up a piece of land and withdraw the war line.

This will at least consolidate their defensive strength.

While consolidating military strength.

Within the Western Region Allied Forces, Wang Shidao has begun a major purge.

That day, Elder Song found Qin Ming and told him a situation with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, the sect can no longer infiltrate the Western Region Alliance."

"Oh?"

Qin Ming was a little surprised to hear the news.

It is rare to find difficulties that even Elder Song cannot overcome.
