General Li Qiao felt guilty and did not dare to look at him, so he hurriedly tried to find an excuse to excuse himself.

"Don't look for excuses, that boy Wang Man, he just spent some time in Tianzhu Academy, so everyone thinks he is great, no matter how powerful he is, he is still my son, I am his father, I am not dead yet! I want him to be mine Don’t even think about this position.”

Wang Shou directly interrupted General Li Qiao's words and slowly approached, "Thinking too much!" General Li Qiao would not say that this was what he thought.

"No!" Wang Shou came to Li Qiao, face to face, his eyes seemed to see through him, and said with his hands in his waist: "Old Li, you hope that boy will provide for you in old age. I have no objection, but he is not suitable to be a general. In this position, give up this idea.”

"No!" Old General Li Qiao was also anxious, "That's the Wang family army. You only have a son, Wang Man. If you don't give him, who will you give it to?"

"You also know that I only have one son. All my sons died in the battlefield, and my wife also died of depression. He can never go to the battlefield, nor can he sit in my position."

He didn't want his son to become a general because that was the only hope for his family.

Old General Li Qiao saw Wang Shou so excited and had nothing to say.

He also understood his pain as a father. He lost three sons, two daughters and sons-in-law, leaving only one son. He never married a wife again in his life. When the king turned twenty, he stayed by his side and became a little position, or just be an ordinary person.

On the eve of the war.

Wu had already experienced a battle, and Wang Shou could no longer rest peacefully. On top of the city tower, he kept arranging troops and preparing for defense before the battle.

Also busy at the same time were Yang Yan and the Prime Minister of Bohe and the capital. When they received the news that Wutong was attacking Wucheng, they already understood that what His Majesty predicted was about to begin.

Yang Yan and the Prime Minister were ordered to supervise the country, and their first reaction after receiving the news was to deal with it calmly.

"Prime Minister, let's just wait for them to start!" Yang Yan handed the secret letter to Prime Minister Beitang to read. The Prime Minister is already an old veteran of four dynasties. He has white hair and a bowed waist. He needs crutches to support him, but he still can While working on state affairs, I, Xiao Yang, have only succeeded to the throne for five years. It is common for those people behind his back not to believe him.

As the prime minister and the elder of the court, what he needs is to stabilize the people's hearts.

After reading the contents of the letter, he sighed: "Your Majesty is taking too many risks!"

It had to be said that he recognized the emperor's resourcefulness in his heart, but if he were here, he would definitely oppose it. "Although there is Wang Shou in Wucheng, he is a careless person after all. He cannot take care of your majesty. If anything happens, There is no successor to this throne!"

It's not that he doesn't believe it, but what he wants to do is worry about the people and the court.

It was unprecedented for an emperor to personally greet Princess Heqin, and now he had to conduct a military expedition in person, without even the slightest preparation on hand.

"Prime Minister, it must be your Majesty. After all, he comes from the Sixth Academy, and the six arts are just their specialty. Wasn't it because he studied under Mr. Li that you agreed to his ascension to the throne?"

Yang Yan comforted the prime minister.

The prime minister raised his head and glanced at Yang Yan, showing a bit of a sneer.

"What can I do if I don't agree? He's just a prince."

He walked a few steps forward and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, you are acting decisively, and the old ministers naturally approve of it. It's just that I am old. Your Majesty is twenty-nine years old. He has no heirs yet. He has also established a princess from a foreign country as his queen. It's really difficult." Without knowing his heart, what he is afraid of is not being able to face the ancestor emperor!"

In his heart, no matter who the emperor is, as long as he is worthy of the people and the country, he is the emperor in his heart.

As a general, Yang Yan understood the burden in the Prime Minister's heart, "Your Majesty is still young, and it is inevitable that you will have to stop doing things. When Your Majesty comes back, if the Prime Minister talks more carefully, Your Majesty will realize his importance."

The Prime Minister smiled and shook his head, looked at Yang Yan and said: "Young man, you don't like me, an old man, talking. General Yang is involved in the great cause of his family and country, and he will do his best to assist His Majesty in the future!"

Yang Yan smiled naively and said: "This junior will definitely do whatever he can."

"Go!" The prime minister nodded and said to Yang Yan.

Yang Yan also immediately left the palace and arranged what would happen in the future according to the content of the creed.

What they have to do is to take down those people with ulterior motives in one fell swoop.

When the country is in crisis, there are loyal ministers and traitors.

The Yang family has been loyal for generations, and it is his duty to eradicate dissidents for the emperor.

The same country that fell into chaos was Beiyongtong Prefecture.

The Hippo tribe captured the city, and all the people were slaughtered, and blood flowed into rivers.

There wasn't even a chance to cry out in the end, neither the children nor the elderly women were spared.

A group of people appeared with swords on their backs. They were dressed in blue clothes and wearing masks. Looking at these corpses, they were all in disbelief. Their faces were full of regret, and they were especially heartbroken.

"Senior brother!" He led the woman next to him. She wore her hair in a man's bun, but she did not hide her identity as a woman. This may be the first time she has seen this scene.

The fire was still burning, layers of white smoke were rising, and the sound of the fire was still ringing. Those who survived knelt beside the corpses of their relatives and cried bitterly, "God damn barbarians, hungry wolves!" God, why do you treat us like this?”

They knelt and begged God, clasping their hands together, praying sincerely, and constantly looking forward to a miracle.

"Be careful. Those people are very flexible. Our primary purpose is to delay time. Before support arrives, we have to guard this place. Let's burn the bodies of these people. Set them up and don't reveal their identities."

The man at the head looked at these scenes, not too shocked, but more distressed and helpless.

"Junior Brother Ah Sheng!" The man looked at Ming Sheng behind him and said: "You and Junior Sister Ruoruo secretly investigate the medicine man. The medicine man must not be released. Once he is released, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world and explain the situation in Beiyong. It's out of control. We need to find the Gu master who controls the medicine man. We can't let him find out until the uncle shows up."

"Yes, senior brother Changjin!" Mingsheng saluted with both hands. After receiving the order, he looked at each other with his partner Xi Ruoruo, then turned around and went separate ways.

Kong Changjin and everyone arranged the corpses, burned them to ashes, and put them into the bone altar, "I have wronged you all!"

"Brother! The enemy has launched another attack. This time the force is very fierce. The soldiers guarding the city have already planned to abandon this place and retreat to Guiyi County in the rear. We...?"

"We can't leave. This is the most critical place. Ji County is the most important in Tongzhou. Once it falls, more people will die. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Guiyi County. We cannot retreat."

Kong Changjin was only eighteen years old, and his eyes were firm.

"What should we do, senior brother?" Junior Brother also asked with a confused look.

"When we go to talk to them, we must let him stay. There are still many people alive in the city, and they can't leave here. Junior Brother Su, you bring in some of your fellow sects to rescue the women who have just been kidnapped. Let’s take care of the matters in the city.”

"Yes, senior brother." After receiving the order, Su Hao seemed to have a backbone. He and his senior brothers went outside the city to rescue those innocent women.

Kong Changjin sighed helplessly, looked at the sky, and said: "Uncle Ning, please come early!"

The Master Ning he referred to was Ning Yu. It was she who notified Nanzhou that the students from Hanya Academy came to help. Ning Yu also needed a day to come from the northwest.

The smoke rises and the war begins.

For the first time, Kong Changming felt the helplessness of war, which was so shocking and helpless.

The Hippo tribe is very flexible. They are good at sneak attacks and even better at using scimitars in close combat, which caught Beiyong's soldiers off guard.

They carry long weapons that have no defensive function at all.

At this moment, the imperial city has just obtained the military power and has already begun to set off. There are less than 20,000 soldiers in the city at this moment. Those 300,000 troops need to go to the camp and use the tiger charm to mobilize.

Luo Shijin returned to Luofu. After tidying up, he was waiting in the hall for Luo Nanjin to return.

When Luo Nanjin heard that his eldest brother was about to go on an expedition, he hurried back from the academy.

"Brother!" Luo Nanjin was in a panic. As soon as he came in, he walked up to his eldest brother, "I heard them say that you are going to go on an expedition. If my sister leaves, you will go too. I will be the only one left in the Luo family?"
