Gao Wu Da Xia: The fox demon lady at the beginning

Chapter 180
Demon Slayer City is known as the southern gate of Daxia. It is garrisoned by the elite Nanyu Army. It is the city with the strongest military force at the southern border of Daxia.

Unexpectedly, such an important military fortress was breached by the demon clan.

Yingzhou's elite troops are stationed in Demon Slayer City.

After the Demon Slayer City was lost, the entire Yingzhou was in danger.

"It seems that the monster clan is coming with force this time." Han Chufan said in a low voice.

"They want to eat the entire Yingzhou." Geng Chunping said solemnly.

"It's stormy." Han Chufan said as he looked out the window.

Han Chufan established an secret department and placed it everywhere in Daxia and foreign tribes to facilitate the latest intelligence information.

The person responsible for leading the ANBU is Deputy Minister of the Military Geng Chunping. Geng Chunping, who was born in the elite Ye Bu Su, has a strong ability in intelligence collection.

The news that the Demon Slayer City was captured by the demon clan spread to the imperial capital, causing a huge shock.

Everyone knows the importance of Demon Slayer City.

"The Demon Slayer City is garrisoned by the most elite troops of the Southern Army. Why did it suddenly fall?"

Above the main hall, Emperor Yingxuan was roaring angrily.

All the ministers below were silent. I had only heard that the demon clan in the south was restless and often made small moves.

I didn’t expect them to be able to break through Demon Slayer City so quickly.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the Demon Slayer City was lost needs to be investigated, but what is more important now is to repel the demon clan's attack and regain the Demon Slayer City."

Zhang Rulin, the chief assistant, stood up and said.

Emperor Yingxuan sat down and calmed down the anger in his heart.

"My dear, who can take on this important task and regain the Demon Slaying City?"

Zhang Rulin thought for a while and replied: "Marquis Pingbei is good at conquering and fighting, so he is the best candidate."

Emperor Yingxuan frowned, "Marquis Pingbei is far away in Yunzhou guarding Beiguan. Does it mean that besides Marquis Pingbei, there are no other generals who are good at fighting in our country?"

Emperor Yingxuan obviously no longer trusts and relies on Han Chufan as before.

Zhang Rulin fell into deep thought.

Nowadays, the generals who can fight in Daxia are basically in Yunzhou, Yanzhou, and Youzhou in the north. They have fought against barbarians and Wu tribes for a long time and have rich combat experience.

But the situation in the north is also very chaotic now, and they cannot be allowed to go south easily.

The general soldiers in other states have not fought a big battle in many years, and they are all a bunch of pampered losers.

It's okay to let them be corrupt and play with women, but it's okay to let them fight.

"Your Majesty, if Duke Dingguo can lead the army to go on an expedition, he will be able to defeat the demon clan in one fell swoop."

Zhang Rulin thought for a while, and it seemed that only Duke Ding, Yan Chunxing, was reliable.

Although Yan Chunxing had never led troops in battle, he was at least a martial artist at the Qi and Blood Realm.

Even though he is over 50 years old and his energy and blood are a little weak, he is still the face of Daxia.

"The Duke of Ding is still responsible for defending the imperial capital. Please choose someone else, Ai Qing."

In Emperor Yingxuan's heart, he would feel at ease only if Dingguo Duke Yan Chunxing stayed to defend the imperial capital.

"I recommend that Marquis Wu'an lead the troops to Yingzhou to recapture Demon Slaying City." Zhang Rulin said again.

Marquis Wu'an has a fiery temperament, hates evil, and does not have a good relationship with the officials in the court. If Zhang Rulin hadn't reminded him, many people would have almost forgotten about him.

Most of these nobles in the imperial capital have been abandoned, and Duke Dingguo and Marquis Wu'an are the best among them.

Especially in martial arts, both of them are very talented. Duke Dingguo entered the Qi and Blood realm 20 years ago.

Marquis Wu An also successfully broke through from the peak of the Body Refining Realm to the Qi and Blood Realm last year.Moreover, Marquis Wu'an led his troops to fight against the Wu clan a few years ago. Although he lost, he still had some practical experience.

"Marquis of Wu'an?" Emperor Yingxuan pondered for a while, and Marquis of Wu'an was also a suitable candidate.

"How do you love me?"

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

Zhang Fazhen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and other Southeast Party members rarely opposed Zhang Rulin this time.

They all know that it is not a good job to fight against the demon clan this time. Anyone who wants to go can go, as long as it is not one of their people.

"Then let Marquis Wu An lead the troops to Yingzhou and make sure to recapture the Demon Slaying City."

"Your Majesty, where are the sources of troops?" Zhang Rulin reminded.

Emperor Yingxuan was startled. He was used to calling Han Chufan in the past, and he forgot that Marquis Wu An was just an idler with no soldiers.

"Order Wu'anhou to lead the [-] imperial capital camp, and also order Cheng Rongxin, the commander-in-chief of Baiji Military Town in Xiangzhou, to lead his army to follow Wuanhou to Yingzhou."

Marquis Wu'an, who was bored and drinking at home, received the imperial edict to lead his army to Yingzhou to recapture the Demon Slaying City.

"Haha, I can finally lead the troops to fight. Damn it, I'm so busy in the imperial capital."

Marquis Wu An hastily came to Duke Ding's mansion.

"Brother, you must be more careful when you lead troops to Yingzhou this time. The demon clan can capture the demon-slaying city and it is not that easy to deal with."

"Don't worry, my lord, I, Old Min, know that, but this time I must give face to the nobles of our imperial capital.

His Majesty intends to suppress us. Those civil servants and military generals usually don't take us seriously, but this is our chance. " said Wu'an Hou Minjian.

Duke Dingguo Yan Chunxing nodded. The status of their nobles was indeed getting lower and lower, and they could no longer get involved in matters in the court.

His Majesty was too suspicious and kept keeping the nobles in captivity without wanting them to grow. As a result, the current nobles in Daxia were all crippled.

If it weren't for the protection of his big tree, Yan Chunxing, those hereditary nobles would have been killed by the civil servants long ago.

Those civil servants are not good at doing business, but their rhetoric and officialdom battles are more serious than the last.

"I will try my best to mobilize elites for you and follow you to Yingzhou, but you also know what kind of virtue we have in Beijing now." Ding Guogong said helplessly.

Most of the officers in the Beijing camp are the descendants of nobles, and they all go there to gain official status.

They have fallen so badly that they only know how to eat, drink, and have fun. Now the fighting ability of the Beijing Camp is very poor, and they have completely lost the prestige of the past.

The 30-strong capital camp in the imperial capital back then was the most elite army in Great Xia, a presence that made foreign races fearful.

Marquis Wu'an nodded. He naturally knew the atmosphere of the Beijing camp, but after all, there were [-] troops.

"This is also an opportunity for us. If you can take back Demon Slaying City, our nobles may be able to rise again."

Duke Ding Yan Chunxing took a sip of tea and said.

In his heart, he has always wanted to restore the glory of the noble party. He thought that in the imperial capital, they were the largest force and could even threaten the royal family, but now they have declined terribly.

This battle in Demon Slaying City may be an opportunity for their noble party to revive.

Wu'an Marquis Minjian nodded, "Don't worry, Lord, I will definitely defeat the demon clan and regain the demon-slaying city."

"Well, if you find that nothing can be done, you must save yourself first and return to the imperial capital alive." Yan Chunxing said.

He has already trained Min Jian as his successor. Apart from him, Min Jian is the only one in the honored party who has the ability to carry the declining honored party forward.

"I will be careful."

"This time His Majesty did not send the powerful Marquis Pingbei to Yingzhou. It seems that our suspicious Majesty no longer trusts this upstart of Great Xia."
