At this moment, outside Wu City, Feng Qingchen's army of one hundred thousand troops was pressing down on the city. The person responsible for defending the city was King Wu Shisan of the Ming Dynasty, who was also Wu Shiqi's half-brother. He looked at the army under the city and his hands were shaking in panic.
Hundreds of years have passed since the founding of Wuya State, but now it has fallen into the biggest crisis since its founding.
In less than five years, three Wu emperors have been replaced. Wuya Kingdom has been in chaos all year round. The people's lives are already in dire straits and riddled with holes. However, they did not expect that they would encounter another plague.
The plague set Wuya¡¯s economy back for ten years. Fortunately, the new Emperor Wu found a way to cure the plague and saved the people from dire straits.
The new emperor Wu Shiqi read poetry and books. Unlike the previous Wu emperors who were suspicious and unruly, he was docile and kind-hearted, proficient in medical skills, and his parents were doctors. Although he was born in an ungrateful and unfavorable family, and he gained the world through rebellion, he was very popular. The courtiers support him and the people love him.
But it was this gentle and kind-hearted new Emperor Wu who plunged Wuya into an unprecedented crisis.
When the news came that Wu Shiqi had been captured, the whole city of Wucheng was like a snow-capped mountain. Thunderbolts fell from the clear sky. The court and people were in chaos, and the harem was even more chaotic.
Empress Dowager Wu and the concubines in the harem were crying together, and the ministers didn't know how to deal with themselves. Some suggested surrendering and negotiating peace, some suggested sending heavy troops to raid Kangcheng to rescue the emperor, and some secretly dragged his family with him. With the gold, silver and jewels they had embezzled over the years sneaking out of the city to avoid trouble, only the idle Prince Ming led his generals to defend the city.
Not long after the news that Wu Qi was captured, Luan Huang led his army to block the gates of Wucheng. Now a hundred thousand troops were pressing down on the border, and they still had Wu Huang as a hostage. All the civil and military officials could not think of a good choice. He came up with a different method, and saw that Wuya Kingdom was about to be shattered and the country was in turmoil.
In Wuya Kingdom, there are people who want the position of Emperor Wu, but now that Wu Qiqi is not dead, whoever declares himself king is usurping the throne. In addition, Wu Qiqi is still a good emperor, and the people still respect him. This It is very troublesome to rebel at that time. After all, no one wants to bear the reputation of rebelling and not protecting the Lord.
Therefore, in the eyes of those nobles, Wu Qi was better off dead if he was captured alive.
Everyone thought so in their hearts, but no one dared to say it, until the news about the Dark Emperor came out, which unintentionally gave the Wuya people hope.
Their emperor is really wise. Even though he is captured, he understands the righteousness and has made arrangements for his replacement.
But even if this is the case, it is naturally impossible for them to really leave Wu Qi alone.
Under this situation, the Luan army pressed forward, and all the soldiers, including King Ming, lost their fighting spirit. King Ming, who had never been on the battlefield since he was idle and had never been on the battlefield, could not even read military books well. How could he lead his troops to fight?
At this moment, Feng Qingchen was sitting on horseback under Wu City, with fluttering black clothes, black hair like mist, red lips and white skin. Her demeanor was cold and clear, like a sword waiting to be unsheathed, looking mockingly at King Ming on Wu City. .
"Master, shall we attack the city?" Leng Jiu asked in a low voice.
Feng Qingchen arrived at Wucheng City an hour ago, but there was no sign of him.
Feng Qingchen did not respond or move, as if waiting for something.
Leng Jiu didn¡¯t dare to speak anymore and silently retreated to the back.
After another hour, all the Luan troops were a little tired, but Feng Qingchen still did not give the order.
Feng Qingchen wanted to give an order, to quickly destroy the Wuya Kingdom, and to severely counter the betrayal brought by An Yi to him, but he was still unable to issue the order to launch an attack. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
