Just now.

I was still thinking, although the front line has not made any progress these days, but at least it has prevented the rebels from continuing to go north, no credit, but a little bit of hard work.

The situation isn't getting better, but it's not too bad either.

Play around.

Maybe you can keep some power in your hands.

Unexpectedly.

Just as he was about to discuss this matter with Prince He, bad news suddenly hit him.

Caught off guard!

captive!

fall!

That is Mengshan Pass, the strategic location of the empire.

She is very clear about what the loss of an important pass means.

This so-called 'hard work' has no meaning anymore.

depressed!

Stuffed!

What's even more irritating is that the general who lost the pass is still her natal family.

"Where is the chief general?" the Queen Mother asked.

"..."

Hearing this, the prime minister hesitated again.

"explain!"

The queen mother is a little anxious, won't she be captured too?

Prime Minister: "Yes!"

paused.

"After the main general learned that the army had been captured, he asked the deputy general to guard the pass, and he withdrew."

Queen Mother: "..."

After listening, the Empress Dowager didn't know what to say anymore. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were captured, and the general 'strategicly retreated' back to a nearby city to command remotely.

To put it bluntly, it is to escape!

This is gross malfeasance.

have to.

It was because she didn't leave any escape route, and the plate was smashed to pieces.

On the other hand, after hearing this.

Snapped!

"Asshole!"

Prince He jumped up against the case and scolded angrily.

The command is wrong, the army is captured, the main general does not stick to the pass, and escapes first, what is the nature of this? It is tantamount to giving up the land to the rebels.

Foreign relatives wronged the country!

"Prince He, please calm down first!"

"I don't have much experience in leading the army, so retreating back is also to avoid accidents. The army has no leader."

The queen mother quickly excused her natal family.

No matter what, you have to keep it safe.

"Next, I hope the Queen Mother will keep her promise." Prince He said in a very bad tone.

It's this time, and I still excuse him, but I don't think so at all.

snort!

Where is the law of the country?

finished.

Prince He waved his sleeves away, humming secretly in his heart, now, seeing how the Empress Dowager still has the face to seize power, half of the country has been seized, she is really incompetent.

at this time.

He has lost much joy in the return of the Queen Mother.

What are you happy about?

Is it fun when a mess hits you?

Isn't it more fun to enjoy life at home by yourself?

and.

Even if the Queen Mother returns to power, her son will still be the emperor. Thinking of this, I feel troubled.

. . .

After Prince He left.

boom!

bang!

The queen mother's face changed, and she started smashing things.

Just got angry, and had to use such behavior to vent, the prime minister could only stand aside and bow his head to count.

Logically speaking.

If the queen mother loses power, her position may also be lost.

But suddenly, there was a pleasant feeling of relief.

Think carefully.

Or was he embarrassed by official duties during this period, a series of bad news, half white hair, now covered with silver threads, it is too much trouble.

It's okay to step back, and don't worry about it.

He is very good at strategizing and fighting, but he is indeed a bit powerless in such a complicated situation.

He considers himself incompetent.

It was because the opponent was too difficult to deal with, and as soon as the empire reacted, half of the country was taken.

Such a start is really exciting.

Instant 50-50 split, who can stand it?

. . .

the next day.

early morning.

Nanyu Empire court meeting, today's court meeting is different, civil servants and generals have different faces.

excited.

frustrated.

perturbed.

When the queen mother loses power, the entire court structure will undergo a reshuffle. Those who were suppressed before may turn around now, and of course, they may also go down.

but.

Although some people feel that the opportunity has come, they are also a little apprehensive.

Today, the rebels occupy nearly half of the territory of the Nanyu Empire.

population.

Produce grain.

troops.

There is not much difference between the two sides.

In fact.

I used to think that the military strength of the empire was an advantage, because the state army, imperial guards, imperial guards, etc. combined, surpassed the southern five continents, and I was very confident.

But now, the sad discovery is useless.

There is no battle all year round, and the combat effectiveness of soldiers is worrying.

Once tested on the battlefield, the usual shortcomings of lax training and laziness were exposed. What they thought was overwhelming, directly turned into a long-term confrontation.

I'm so mad!

Cool to see!

Just this morning, new news came that after capturing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the rebel army went northward and directly captured Mengshan Pass, an important strategic pass.

And the other front lines still haven't made any progress.

So it's a complete mess.

. . .

soon.

After the decree was read out, the Queen Mother's power to oversee the country behind the curtain became history. As the representative of the clan, Prince He holds an official position of assisting the country.

It is a temporary position.

It was only responsible for countering the rebellion and was revoked afterwards.

One up.

A series of counterinsurgency strategies were released.

"First, the State Book Baicheng and the Dayan Empire do not have any trade with Wuzhou."

"Second, collect food."

"Third, recruit troops."

"..."

After that, the states are released at a very fast speed.

As for the prime minister, he resigned from his old age and returned home wisely, but it will take some time to hand over the work, but after listening to the entire frontline battle report after the congratulatory dynasty meeting.

Just one thought: you're fucking kidding me!

The situation is worse than previously known.

. . .

Just the next day.

Everywhere in the imperial city.

"What? Conscription? Food? Why?"

"this"

"Could it be that the front line was defeated?"

"..."

The people were in an uproar.

Previously, in order not to embarrass the empire too much, the rebellion in the south was almost blocked by the people. However, it was not sealed and was spread out.

But people still don't know much.

now.

How can we not be surprised that it has reached the point of requisitioning food.

"I heard that the empire's million-strong army has not captured a single city."

"real?"

"Not only that, Mengshan Pass fell, and 200,000 troops were captured."

"No way!"

"This is not enough. The five southern states have recruited millions of soldiers and established a solid line of defense."

"..."

After hearing some gossip, the people were shocked. They didn't expect that the front line had no results for so long, and they even captured 200,000 people, losing a pass.

Not only did not win, but also lost.

This is the power to hold almost half of the empire, that's it?

There is no mistake.

immediately.

A feeling of "the empire is running out of power" arises spontaneously, and I can't help but panic. Many big families are considering whether to transfer their property.

. . .

A small mansion in the imperial capital.

The family sits in a circle.

"snort!"

"When we are greedy for food, we don't have our share, but when we collect food, we always think that we are the big ones."

"Damn it!"

"..."

The scope of food collection is not limited to the common people. In fact, it is their "middle class" who make the most of the money. The real top rich families are all stingy.

therefore.

Many people are unhappy.

"Father, why don't we transfer the main property to Yuancheng?"

"that is!"

"It's not very safe here."

"..."

For the future of the Nanyu Empire, there is already a little pessimism. After so long, there is no progress at all, but an important pass has been lost.

200,000 were captured, what kind of operation was this achieved?

The entire pass is only about 200,000 yuan. How dare you surrender without any damage?

Is there a score or not?
