    On November 21st, 925th year of the Holy Yuan Calendar, the Mowu Continent suddenly invaded the Shengyuan Empire for the second time.  With lightning speed, half a million elite soldiers from the Mowu Kingdom broke through Xiling City, an important military town on the western front of the Shengyuan Empire, which was loosely defended in one fell swoop.  The morale of the Mowu army was high, and they fought at a high speed without stopping. Within three days, they marched nearly a thousand miles eastward, and went straight to the city of Tianque.

    　　The defender of Tianque City and the marshal of the Shenwu Army, Duke Lianpi, panicked. In order to regain the lost ground and make atonement, he faced the Mowu army who deliberately showed weakness in front of Tunza City, and ignored the unanimous opposition of the senior generals of the Shenwu Army.  The Mowu Army was defeated by the Shenwu Army in one fell swoop, and retreated hastily.  The stunned Marshal Lian Pi was overjoyed, and led a 400,000 martial arts army to pursue him suddenly, winning consecutive battles.  Just when Marshal Lianbi pulled out all the troops from Tianque City to pursue the Mowu Army, an elite Mowu Army with 100,000 troops ambushed near Tianque City in advance, taking advantage of the emptiness of Tianque City, took down the Mowu Army without any effort.  A city known as the "Imperfect City" of the Shengyuan Empire.

    　　At this point, the back route of the 400,000 Shenwu Legion was cut off, and the Mowu Army, which was constantly being defeated, suddenly stopped fleeing.  The Shenwu Legion was besieged within less than a hundred miles to the east of Xiling City, and failed to break through several times. Marshal Lianpi, who realized that the defeat was doomed, secretly broke through and slipped away under the protection of his personal guards.  The elite soldiers of the Shengyuan Empire ignored it.  The Shenwu Army, which lost its commander, did not give up, and under the leadership of the temporary Marshal Lei Ya, it launched a desperate battle with the Mowu Army.  In five days and five nights, 400,000 elite members of the Shengyuan Empire were all killed in battle, and none of them surrendered.  This fierce battle to the death not only caused heavy damage to the Mowu army, but also delayed precious time, creating favorable conditions for Tianlao City and the entire Shengyuan Empire to prepare for the battle.

    　　The army of demons and warriors occupying Tianque City, marched day and night, attacking the city and plundering the pond, all the way like a broken bamboo, invincible, attacked the Tianlao City, and occupied the entire western Splendid Plain to the west of the Yunwu Mountains.

    　　 Marquis Huicha, Marquis Huicha, Marquis of Yuanwu Army, the garrison of Tianlao City, had already received the news. By the time the Mowu Army arrived, the city defense had been strengthened, and sufficient food and grass had been prepared, ready for battle.

    　　When the Mowu army arrived at the city of Tianlao, they resorted to the trick they used against Marshal Lianpi, deliberately showing weakness. Unexpectedly, this trick was useless against the cautious Marquis Huicha.  Immediately, the Mowu army threatened, provoked, insulted all kinds of tricks were used one by one, but Marquis Huicha just stood still.  Seeing that the strategy had failed and the Yuanwu Army, which was hiding behind the line of defense, could not be mobilized to take the initiative to attack, the Marshal of the Mowu Army, who became furious, had no choice but to issue a tough order to attack the city.

    　　Hearing the order, the militant Mowu army screamed excitedly, and all the legions went into battle one after another, taking turns to attack Tianlao City.  The stone machine, the company, the siege engine, etc., show their power.  In short combat, the lack of training of the Yuanwu Army Sergeants and the disadvantages of not fighting were immediately revealed.  Facing the magical military army whose physical fitness was several times stronger and the number of troops several times larger, the soldiers of the Yuanwu Army were secretly afraid and almost lost their combat effectiveness, and the casualties increased exponentially.  Marquis Huicha, Marquis of the Yuanwu Legion, was overwhelmed by the burden, and his urgent military letters flew towards the city of Tianjing like snowflakes.

    　　For a while, the people of the Shengyuan Empire panicked, rumors spread everywhere, and the fear of the Mowu Army reached an unprecedented level.  From the princes and nobles, down to the common people, the expression of the Mowu army changed, and the fear spread like a plague.  Some ministers even began to discuss leaving Tianjing City and taking refuge in the Eastern Yunsheng City of the empire.

    　　At this time, the imperial palace of the Shengyuan Empire, which could influence the situation of the battle, was another scene of excitement.

    　　 "Snap!" The furious emperor grabbed the jade lion paperweight and slammed it on the ground paved with gold bricks, his pale complexion turned purple, his delicate facial features were distorted out of shape, and a pair of  His eyes seemed to spew fire, and he roared at the prime minister, minister of military affairs, minister of internal affairs, minister of political affairs and other important government officials standing in the palace: "Tianque City fell?  , What did he do? He beheaded 10,000 times, and it is hard to stop this crime!"

    　　All the ministers secretly thought: Lianfei is over!  It seems that the death penalty is inevitable, as long as the family is not implicated, it is already a blessing.  Originally, Qi and others had already received a large amount of bribes from his family, intending to find an opportunity to exonerate him, but now seeing the emperor's anger, they all gave up this idea.

    　　The Minister of Military Affairs whispered: "Duke Lianpi escaped to Tianlong City under the protection of more than a dozen guards. This is his memorial. It is said that the defeat this time is entirely due to the intentions of all the soldiers of the Shenwu Army.  Lord, because you didn’t obey his orders.” The words of the Minister of Military Affairs were dry and without a trace of water. At this critical time when the situation was unclear, he might want to stand up for Duke Lianpi rashly.  bigState affairs.  "Several servants left in a hurry.

    　　At this point, all the ministers realized that the direction of the wind had changed, and immediately made up for it. They all praised the emperor as a wise man, good at employing people, and the emperor's uncle, who has rich experience in fighting, is really the best candidate to regain lost ground and crusade against Mowu  .  However, they didn't know the emperor's thoughts, and they didn't pay much attention to the emperor's virtue of "compassionate to his subjects", and they didn't hesitate to transfer him from the difficult frontier fortress and call him back to the capital for recuperation.  , which led to this disaster" to write an article, but instead talk about the emperor's uncle, a wise and holy martial artist, a military genius who has worked hard to guard Tianque City for thirty years, and the persecuted Mowu Kingdom is difficult to advance.  If they live up to the emperor's high hopes, they will definitely lose ground; they seem to have forgotten that it was the emperor who dismissed the emperor's uncle from the position of marshal, so praising the emperor's uncle's achievements just contrasts with the failure and incompetence of the emperor's decision-making, thus throwing Ma  All the farts were patted on the horse's legs.  The prime minister saw that the emperor's complexion was getting uglier, gloomy as if it was about to drip water, and all the important ministers were still chattering and talking, completely unaware that the flattery was in the wrong place, so he couldn't help but secretly laughed in his stomach, but lowered his head  Respectfully silent, he decided to watch a good show.

    　　 Sure enough, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted angrily with a livid face: "Shut up!"

    　　All the ministers who sang meritorious deeds were stunned for a moment. Seeing the emperor's angry face and fire-breathing eyes, they couldn't help but be silent, but they were very surprised: why the prime minister just flattered the emperor, so he felt comfortable.  Followed that train of thought, but got photographed on the horse's hoof?

    　　Not a moment later, the servant responded: "Uncle Huang heard that Tianque City fell, and the 400,000 soldiers of the Shenwu Legion were wiped out. He was so angry that he vomited half a liter of blood and was bedridden."

    　　The emperor was shocked, and looked at the prime minister, really panicked: Prince Xia Qin's military ability is second to none in the entire Shengyuan Empire, and he has fought against the Mowu army for many years, and has just repelled the Mowu Kingdom's invasion,  It is undoubtedly the most suitable for him to serve as the marshal of the Shengyuan army that counterattacks the Mowu army; if something happens to him, no one in the empire will be able to make great use of it, and it will be difficult to stop the invasion of the Mowu army, but it will be really in jeopardy.

    　　The emperor naturally knew that the prince was not forever, so he did not embarrass the prince when he handed over his military power and returned to Beijing to plead guilty.  Forced, made him worry back and forth, exhausted his mind, and fell to such a point.

    　　Heaved a long sigh, the emperor said: "Send your car, go to the Prince's Mansion!" (Remember the website of this site: www.hlnovel.com
