I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Within one day, Yongzhou was broken and 100,000 Nanyue wolf soldiers were wiped out.

When the crown prince of Nanyue, Li Shiyu, fled back to the capital Yangcheng in a hurry, he also brought the news of the disastrous defeat of Yongzhou, and the court and the people of Nanyue were shocked.

The atmosphere in the court on this morning was also particularly cold and depressing.

In the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Tiande Li Zongmin's face was ashen, and he coughed from time to time. The white handkerchief in his hand had already been stained with scarlet.

The imperial physician said that Emperor Tiande was depressed and anxious, so he asked the emperor to rest and take care of his health.

The first release of this book is 𝟨𝟫 Book Bar, which provides you with a reading experience without wrong chapters and out-of-order chapters.

However, the Dragon City's southern expedition army has already conquered Yongzhou, the gateway town of Nanyue, and can drive straight into the capital Yangcheng at any time. How can Emperor Tiande Li Zongmin rest and rest?

Last night, when Emperor Tiande learned that the prince was defeated in Yongzhou, he spat out a mouthful of blood and almost died without taking a breath.

However, at this point, Li Zongmin had to hold up his spirit and discuss with the civil and military officials what the future of Nanyue should be.

Ahem!

Emperor Tiande on the dragon throne coughed a few times again, and then said weakly: "Prince, you tell the cause and effect of the defeat in Yongzhou in front of the civil and military officials;"

"My dear ministers, please listen carefully, and discuss and make a decision after listening!"

"Your son, your son obeys your order!"

In the Golden Palace, the once high-spirited and arrogant prince Li Shiyu had to keep his tail between his legs after experiencing the disastrous defeat in Yongzhou.

Later, in the retelling of the story by Prince Li Shiyu, the responsibility for the disastrous defeat in Yongzhou was all attributed to the fact that the Longcheng army invited a wizard to use rolling thunder as a weapon, which led to the disastrous defeat of the Nanyue Kingdom.

Li Shiyu vowed: "Father, ministers, it is not that the soldiers of our Nanyue Kingdom are cowardly and afraid of fighting, but that the Longcheng rebels have profound magic;"

"How can the Nanyue generals, with their mere mortal bodies, resist the rolling thunder summoned by the Longcheng rebels!"

"Father, I dare to suggest that we should negotiate peace with Chen Huaian, the dog thief, in time to prevent our Nanyue Kingdom from being destroyed and exterminated!"

Swish!

As soon as Prince Li Shiyu said this, an uproar immediately occurred in the Nanyue court.

The once unwavering pro-war representative actually took the initiative to propose peace talks with the new emperor Chen Huaian?

It can be seen that the defeat in Yongzhou this time was a heavy blow to the pro-war prince and his party!

However, the prince was a little exaggerated. In order to wash away the responsibility of poor combat performance, he even made up such a clumsy lie that the rebels in Longcheng summoned thunderbolts by wizards.

Obviously, the officials of the Nanyue Kingdom in the court were skeptical about the cause and effect of the defeat in Yongzhou as recounted by the prince Li Shiyu.

Although these Nanyue officials also believed in ghosts and gods, they were not so confused as to be so "stupid".

Summoning thunderbolts as weapons, isn't this just fooling three-year-old children?

For a while, the Nanyue officials in the huge Jinluan Palace had different thoughts and ulterior motives, and no one wanted to touch the bad luck and continue the words of the prince Li Shiyu.

Hey——

Seeing this, Emperor Tiande Li Zongmin on the dragon throne couldn't help but sigh, and finally he looked at Prime Minister Tang Bo and said: "Prime Minister Tang, tell me your opinion!"

"Reporting to the emperor, I think it is not right to negotiate peace with Chen Huaian at this time!"

Hmm?

As soon as Prime Minister Tang Bo finished speaking, he once again caused an uproar in the court of Nanyue.

Prime Minister Tang Bo, who advocated peace with Chen Huaian, almost tore his face with Crown Prince Li Shiyu in the court meeting for the issue of war or peace.

What happened today?

Crown Prince Li Shiyu, who advocated war, took the initiative to propose peace, but Prime Minister Tang Bo, who advocated peace, was the first to stand up and oppose peace.

What kind of drama is this?

Prime Minister Tang Bo calmly accepted the strange looks from the court officials, and continued to say word by word: "Your Majesty, more than half a month ago, the leader of the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army, Pang Xianchu, personally sent someone to deliver a letter, asking us to surrender to Nanyue;"

"At that time, the two sides had not yet fought, and there was no blood feud between them. Pang Xianchu made extremely harsh surrender conditions on behalf of Chen Huaian;"

"Now, Pang Xianchu almost died in Yongzhou City, and there were also talented people in the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army who helped them. In one day, they conquered the important town of Yongzhou, the gateway to Nanyue, causing 100,000 of our Nanyue wolf soldiers to die for their country;"

After a pause, Tang Bo said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if we negotiate peace at this time, the initiative at the negotiation table, He is no longer on the side of Nanyue;"

"Moreover, with Chen Huaian's vindictive character, he may not accept the surrender of Nanyue at this time;"

"So--"

After saying that, Tang Bo changed the subject and said sternly: "There are only two options for Nanyue now:"

"First, use the whole country's strength to fight against the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army to the end. If it really comes to the point where we need to die for our country, I, Tang Bo, am willing to be the first to stand up and die for the country of Nanyue;"

"Second, if the emperor can learn from the King of Yue Goujian, who was willing to endure the hardships of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, then he can send envoys to the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army Camp;"

"But I dare not guarantee whether the rebel army leader Pang Xianchu is willing to believe the emperor's surrender;"

"After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already used a trick of feigning surrender outside the city of Yongzhou, so Pang Xianchu and the generals of the Longcheng rebels will certainly be on guard;"

"Therefore, I think it is not possible to negotiate peace with Chen Huaian at this time!"

Uh——

Prime Minister Tang Bo's words immediately choked Emperor Tiande and Crown Prince Li Shiyu so much that they could not speak.

The two of them thought about it and it seemed that this was indeed the truth.

Regardless of whether Emperor Tiande Li Zongmin, who was only sixty years old, could endure the hardship of sleeping on straw and tasting gall, the key point was that they might not even have the chance to surrender now.

But if they fought to the end, it seemed that they would only end up as a king of a fallen country.

More than half of the elite troops of the Nanyue Kingdom were completely wiped out under the city of Yongzhou in one day.

How long can the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses resist the Longcheng army's southern expedition?

On the dragon throne, Emperor Tiande's expression was uncertain.

Based on his understanding of Prime Minister Tang Bo, this resourceful guy certainly would not have said what he said just now on a whim.

Maybe Tang Bo already had a plan in mind.

Then, Li Zongmin hurriedly asked Tang Bo: "Prime Minister Tang, at this critical moment of national destruction and genocide, the lives and property of me and the millions of people in Nanyue are all dependent on you!"

"If you have a good plan, please speak freely. I will definitely support you with the power of the entire Nanyue country!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Tang Bo raised his eyebrows and hesitated to say: "Your Majesty, when it comes to the strategy of defending against the enemy, I do have an immature suggestion;"

"It's just——"
