Chapter 345: I impeach the eldest princess
Hearing the sounds outside the hall, the ministers in the hall instantly became excited.

Urgent report from Youping County?

Youping County is next to Yong'an County. This is a battle report from Youping County. Doesn't it mean that Dawu's army has captured Yong'an County?
But then again, is the Northern Army so useless?
At this time, Chai Jiliang frowned, his face became very ugly, and there was a hint of worry on his face.

He didn't think that Dawu's 30 troops could capture Yong'an County after the war. Yong'an County had [-] heavy cavalry, and the Northern Kingdom also sent hundreds of thousands of troops to Yong'an County.

Furthermore, if Dawu's army really captured Yong'an County in such a short period of time, it means that the Northern Kingdom's troops in Yong'an County are definitely insufficient. In this case, the Northern Kingdom's troops will most likely go to other places. .

The easier it is to fight Yong'an County, the greater the resistance the North's main force will encounter.

No matter how you look at it, the battle report coming back from Youping County is not good news.

Just when Chai Jiliang was thinking this, the messenger entered the hall. He quickly knelt on the ground, and then reported loudly in the expectant eyes of the ministers: "Fei Ge from Youping County sent a message, and the 30-strong army led by General Ying was defeated by the Northern Kingdom. The army is defeated, General Ying retreats to Lingyun City, the current situation is unknown!"

Hearing this, the hall was in an uproar.

They all thought that Beiguo was defeated, but they didn't expect that Dawu was defeated instead.

How can this be?

After all, Ying Feiyu was a battle-experienced general, and their Dawu soldiers were all elites. How could they be defeated in such a short period of time? It was only a few days away. What happened in Yong'an County.

Now it's Fei Ge's letter. Fei Ge's letter usually doesn't send urgent reports, and it won't be too detailed. Only when the real battle report enters the capital will they know what the situation is.

But no matter what, if you lose, you lose.

This result has basically been determined.

Ying Feiyu's defeat means that Lingyun City is likely to be lost. Lingyun City is lost, and Youping County is not far away from being occupied by the Northern Kingdom.

Youping County is the only way for the main force's logistics. If Youping County is occupied, Dawu's main force's logistics will be completely interrupted. However, the main force did not take the North Kingdom immediately, and the logistics will be interrupted again. Then the main force's logistics will be completely interrupted. Morale is bound to suffer a setback.

At this time, the court was quiet, the atmosphere was extremely dull, no one spoke, and people couldn't help but sweat broke out on their foreheads.

It had only been a few days since the war began, but Dawu's 30 troops were defeated. Although they had not expected these 30 troops to achieve much success, they at least had to be able to hold back the Northern army stationed in Yong'an County. The result was so fast. If we were defeated, wouldn't the Northern Army soon return to support us?

Once the northern army in Yong'an County returns to support, Dawu's main force will probably not be able to attack Yancheng. In this case, Dawu's plan will fail.

The ministers did not dare to speak at this time for fear of angering Emperor Wu. After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Wu cursed: "Trash, they are all a bunch of trash!"

"Ying Feiyu, this good-for-nothing, didn't even hold on for half a month before he was defeated! What use do I need from him! Fortunately, he is still a veteran general who has experienced hundreds of battles!"

Seeing Emperor Wu losing his temper, the ministers in the palace did not even dare to take a breath.

After Emperor Wu lost his temper, Chai Jiliang stood up and said directly: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be angry. Now the army led by Ying Feiyu has been defeated. We don't know how many soldiers they have left. We must fight as soon as possible. Send someone to Youping County to figure out the situation, and then send reinforcements."

"If the Northern Kingdom were to occupy the entire Youping County, Dawu's main force would be cut off from its logistics, and the morale of the frontline soldiers would definitely be affected."

Seeing that Chai Jiliang dared to stand up and speak at this time, the ministers in the hall had to admire Chai Jiliang.

As expected of Chai Jiliang, he was the only one who dared to trouble Emperor Wu at this time.

After hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Emperor Wu quickly calmed down. Although he was still very angry, the overall situation was more important. Youping County must be defended now, and soldiers from the North must not be allowed to counterattack.

Youping County cannot be lost under any circumstances. If Youping County is lost, the entire army will collapse.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wu immediately said: "Let Tang Ming immediately lead an army of 20 to reinforce Youping County. You cannot lose Youping County under any circumstances. In addition, give an order to Ying Feiyu and ask him to return to the capital immediately. I want to know how he lost!"

Although Emperor Wu still couldn't accept the fact that Ying Feiyu was defeated in his heart, Emperor Wu was not a fool. Ying Feiyu was a veteran of many battles. He had participated in many foreign wars and defeated many enemy armies. When he attacked Daxia, he also led the army.

Why did they lose like this this time? They must have encountered problems that they did not expect. Emperor Wu also knew that the battle report would enter the capital in a few days, but he wanted to hear Ying Feiyu's face-to-face description in person.

Emperor Wu stood up at this time, flicked his sleeves, and walked away without saying anything about retreating from the court.

Seeing Emperor Wu leaving, the ministers quickly said: "Best farewell to Your Majesty!"

After Emperor Wu left, the hall suddenly became chaotic. People were talking about the war in Youping County. They still couldn't believe it was true.

How could Ying Feiyu lose so quickly?

That was an elite army of 30 people, and it didn't even hold them back for half a month.

Isn't the combat effectiveness of the soldiers from the Northern Kingdom too terrifying?
They originally thought that the North Kingdom was able to defeat the barbarians and King Tianqi's army in the North because of some luck. If it were Dawu's army, the North Country would only be beaten. Now it seems that they have seriously underestimated the military strength of the North Country.

It didn't take long.

Inside the Qingyun Hall, smoke filled the air. Inside the red tent, Wu Yunwan's face looked very ugly.

She also received the news from the front line immediately. Although she had long felt that the North Country would not be defeated so easily, she did not expect that Dawu's army would be defeated so quickly.

At this time, Chai Jiliang entered the hall.

"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

Wu Yunwan asked in a cold voice with no expression on her face: "Master Chai should already know what happened in Youping County, right?"

Chai Jiliang said: "I already knew it in the court."

Wu Yunwan said: "What does Mr. Chai think of this matter?"

Chai Jiliang replied: "If Dawu's army can defend Youping County and continue to hold back the hundreds of thousands of troops from the North in Yong'an County, as long as General Zhan and the others invade the North, there is still hope of victory."

"but……"

Chai Jiliang did not continue.

Wu Yunwan asked at this time: "Why didn't Mr. Chai say anything?"

Chai Jiliang then continued: "But judging from the rapid defeat of the 30-strong army in Youping County, the military strength of the Northern Kingdom and the combat effectiveness of the Northern Kingdom's soldiers have far exceeded our expectations. No one knows what else the Northern Kingdom has." The trump card is that even if General Zhan and the others invade the mainland of the Northern Kingdom, they may not be able to successfully attack Yancheng and destroy the Northern Kingdom." The battle between Yong'an County and Lingyun City directly made Chai Jiliang lose confidence. Dawu's army was so powerful. As a result, They were defeated in just a few days. Not to mention Chai Jiliang's lack of confidence, few people in the DPRK still have much hope for the war launched by Dawu.

After hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Yunwan pondered for a moment, and then murmured: "It seems that I will be in a lot of trouble in the future."

Wu Yunwan thought that it must be the effect of those mysterious weapons in the North that caused Dawu's army to be defeated so quickly.

I didn't find out those weapons immediately. Once the war was lost, someone would definitely use this as an excuse and then impeach me.

Thinking of this, Wu Yunwan felt a little uneasy and began to think about how to avoid this crisis.

If someone targeted her, she really couldn't say anything. After all, she was the one in charge of intelligence. She didn't provide any intelligence about the terrorist weapons in the North, so she couldn't absolve herself of the blame for the defeat of Dawu's army.

After Wu Yunwan thought for a while, she had an idea in her mind. She had no choice but to use Qian's family as a scapegoat.

She can throw all the problems to the Qian family, and then say that the Qian family deceived her, which made her unable to provide information about the North Country. Although she is still to blame, she can get rid of most of the responsibility. , making her look like she was just deceived by her subordinates.

Thinking of this, Wu Yunwan immediately said to the female guards in the palace: "Xiaoyu, immediately send someone to arrest Qian Xingchang's family. We can't let the Qian family escape!"

"Yes!"

The female guard immediately turned around and left the hall, sending people to catch the "culprit".

Seeing this scene, Chai Jiliang instantly understood what Wu Yunwan was doing. The eldest princess was preparing to take the blame.

Wu Yunwan then said to Chai Jiliang: "Master Chai, I am likely to be impeached by many ministers in the next few days. Please help me deal with it."

Chai Jiliang immediately said: "Eldest Princess, please rest assured that I will not let any villain affect the reputation of Your Highness."

Chai Jiliang would never let Wu Yunwan fall into the turmoil of abolishing the title. Even if Wu Yunwan really fell into a crisis, he would always stand on the side of the eldest princess. After all, this woman is not only It represents his political interests and is also the object of his admiration.

After hearing Chai Jiliang's statement, Wu Yunwan smiled slightly, and then said: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Chai."

Chai Jiliang said: "This is what I should do."

……

A day or two later, the real battle report entered the capital. At this time, Dawu's 20 reinforcements had already gone to Youping County.

In the court hall, there was silence in Dawu. No minister dared to speak. Even Chai Jiliang fell into silence.

They all know that the latest battle report has entered the capital, but currently only Emperor Wu is browsing the battle report in the capital. Emperor Wu asked them to go to court, most likely to discuss the battle report.

At this time, Emperor Wu took out a battle report and said, "The battle report written by General Ying has arrived in my hands."

"According to Ying Feiyu, a mysterious weapon appeared in the North. These weapons look like iron balls and are thrown using catapults. Once the iron balls fall into the crowd, they will explode immediately. Once the iron balls explode, they will Like a great master taking action.”

"The Northern Kingdom has a large number of such weapons. Dawu's military formation was defeated in less than a quarter of an hour in front of this iron ball!"

Hearing this, the hall was in an uproar.

Like a great master taking action?

what weapon is this?
How could it be so powerful?

The more powerful the weapon, the more difficult it is to use and the rarer the quantity. How come the North has a large number of such mysterious weapons?
Could it be that Ying Feiyu lost the battle and was anxious to take the blame?
If Beiguo really has such a weapon, then Dawu's crusade against Beiguo will undoubtedly fail this time. An iron ball is like a grand master's shot. If Beiguo has thousands of them, how can Dawu be Beiguo's opponent.

Dawu only sent two great masters in this expedition to the Northern Kingdom.

Just as the ministers in the main hall were discussing, suddenly, the voice of the messenger came from outside, "Urgent report from Lingyun City!!!"

Hearing this voice, Emperor Wu's face became even more ugly. If Ying Feiyu had not lied in the battle report, it probably meant that Lingyun City had been lost.

At this time, the messenger entered the main hall, knelt in the middle of the main hall, tremblingly raised the latest battle report above his head and said: "Lingyun City has fallen, our 30-strong army has been destroyed, and General Ying's life or death is unknown!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall took a breath. Not long after the battle report arrived in Emperor Wu's hand, the second battle report was sent, and it was also the news of the fall of Lingyun City. This proved that Lingyun City had lost its power in one day. The guilt was lost, and Ying Feiyu couldn't even hold on to it for a day.

Is the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army already so terrifying?

After being stunned for a moment, the eunuch beside Emperor Wu quickly came to the messenger, took the battle report, and then immediately sent it to Emperor Wu.

After Emperor Wu received the battle report, he opened it and glanced at it briefly. He did not speak, but his face was gloomy. It could be seen that he was very uncomfortable now.

Since he came to the throne, he has launched many wars and almost never lost. Each war allowed Dawu to expand his territory and brought a lot of land to Dawu. But this time, not only did he not gain land, but he also Such an important city was lost in such a short period of time.

If everything goes as described in the battle report, Youping County will definitely be occupied by the Northern Army in less than half a month.

Think about it, an army composed entirely of "Grand Masters" has several countries as rivals. No matter how strong their walls are, they cannot withstand the combined attack of hundreds or even thousands of Grand Masters.

Although "Grand Master" is just a metaphor, when this weapon from the North is used on the battlefield, it is indeed a one-sided massacre.

Now we can only hope that the main force of the Northern Kingdom is in Yong'an County. Their main force can successfully invade the mainland of the Northern Kingdom and capture the Northern King. Otherwise, with the military strength of the Northern Kingdom, this time they will not be able to destroy the Northern Kingdom. Soon they will Instead, they will be destroyed by the Northern Kingdom.

The expression on Emperor Wu's face changed again and again. He still couldn't figure out why there were such terrifying weapons in this world.

He now finally understood why the Northern Kingdom was able to wipe out the barbarians in the North in such a short period of time and defeat the army of King Apocalypse.

With such a weapon that destroys the world, wouldn't the North Kingdom be able to destroy anyone it wants?

Dawu's 30 elite troops were defeated in one day, so what did those barbarians mean?

At this time, the hall was extremely quiet, no minister spoke, and people's breathing could even be heard. At this moment, Zhang Yuanbai, the imperial censor, suddenly said: "I am impeaching the eldest princess for not doing her job properly, for taking human lives, and for stealing authority! "

 There is only one chapter today. I feel unwell and slept all day.
