Xu Feng sat in the court.
His eyes shone brightly.
In the Imperial Court, Yang Hong and Lin Yirong had submitted their names to Xu Feng.
All the officials in the court understood.
In the past, the imperial court would fight against each other as equals, and the matter of one hand covering the sky would no longer exist.
The three cabinets each had their own duties, and they would never cross the line.
In almost an instant, the political life of the Great Tang was flourishing.
And the one who caused all of this to happen was Lord Zhenbei, Xu Feng.
in troubled times, heavy laws were used.
After Xu Feng cleaned up the entire court with a bold and decisive move, there was a hint of regret in the depths of his eyes. He lacked the means to obtain Tyrant points.
Several days ago, Lin Yirong and Yang Hong had come to Xu Feng's residence to personally apologize and promise to put the interests of the Great Tang first.
Xu Feng naturally wouldn't believe it completely. He immediately used the Ghost Shadow Bewitching Technique. If Lin Yirong and Yang Hong dared to have any thoughts of chaos in the future, they would definitely die.
Even Xu Feng couldn't help but sigh. The Ghost Shadow Bewitching Art was really useful. Unfortunately, the target who had to be used was willing to accept the Ghost Shadow Bewitching Art's use. If the resistance was too intense, the target's mind would be very likely to be shattered, and they would die.
……
Wangmo City!
The tall city walls condensed an ancient and desolate aura.
The largest city in the southwest.
On the city wall, there were traces of knives, swords, and fire.
These were the generals who had been responsible for guarding the southwest border since the Tang Empire was founded three thousand years ago. They had witnessed the invasion of the South Jin Kingdom.
Lin Xin stood on the towering city wall, his eyes flickering with a solemn expression as he stared at the pile of corpses below the city wall.
The army of Nanjin had already gathered. A small group of troops had already arrived outside the city wall of Wangmo City and started to harass it.
"It's all thanks to the high-level repeating crossbows made by Northern Fortress Lord. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to resist the assault of the troops of South Jin.”Lin Xin couldn't help but say.
The few generals beside Lin Xin also said," If Northern Lord had been in charge of the country a few years ago, our southwest garrison would have been able to replenish our manpower, equipment, and training. We wouldn't be in such a depressing situation now. We can only guard the city walls and can't go out to kill the enemy. What a waste.”
"In the past ten years, our 200,000-strong southwest garrison army has been starving. Where did we find the energy and time to increase the strength of our army?”
Lin Xin heard the complaints of his subordinate generals, but how could he not know in his heart?
The generals beside him were telling the truth.
The last time the 200,000-strong southwest garrison he led had new recruits was five years ago. The troops were getting old and their combat strength had weakened.
"However, Northern Fortress Lord is also a rare genius. I heard that he not only developed a high-grade repeating crossbow, but also a weapon to defend the city. Even the potatoes that were transported by the army in large carts were developed by him. Northern Fortress Lord was really a god.”A general said sincerely.
"You don't have to say that the taste of the potato is very good. If we were to go on a long-distance raid, we only need to carry ten of them, and they would be enough for at least three days of rations. The dry food tasted coarse and bitter, and it was difficult to swallow. The taste of the potato was delicate and had a faint sweetness. It was really comfortable.”
"Report! Report! Report!"
Just as the few generals in front of Lin Xin were discussing enthusiastically.
An extremely urgent voice sounded.
Outside the city wall of Wangmo City, a few scouts that Lin Xin had sent out had already returned with the news.
"Quickly open the city gates!"
Lin Xin couldn't wait to go down the city.
He had to find out whether Nanjin was just a small group harassing them or if the army had already gathered.
In a battle between two armies, one had to know their enemy.
"Hurry up and report the information you've found!”
Lin Xin said to the scouts.
"General, the border town of Nanjin is full of Nanjin's army.”
"The army of Nanjin is divided into three groups. The emperor of Nanjin will lead the central army. The 300,000 strong army is also the strongest elite army of Nanjin.”
"At the same time, the left and right armies will be led by Zhang Changrong, the commander of Nanjin's army, and Cheng Feiyu, the general of Nanjin.”
"The 100,000 soldiers led by Cheng Feiyu, the Great General of South Jin, are all charging cavalry. Zhang Changrong led a mix of archers and infantry.”
After hearing the report, Lin Xin's expression turned extremely ugly. The 600,000 soldiers were not enough for the current Wangmo City garrison.
The invasion of Nanjin was aggressive.
"Send out all the scouts and report the movements of the Nanjin army.”
After Lin Xin finished his instructions.
He said to a general behind him,"Immediately report the urgent military situation at the border to the capital as soon as possible and send it to Northern Fortress Lord!”
"Once Wangmo City is breached, the cavalry of Nanjin will be able to march straight in, and the entire southwest cities will be in the hands of Nanjin.”
"Understood!"
The armored general immediately went to arrange for the personnel to present the military intelligence.
……
Chang 'an City.
"Giddy! Drive! Go!"
"Emergency military intelligence!"
Several warhorses galloped over. The hooves of the warhorses hit the ground, making a violent impact.
The people along the way retreated.
"Heavens? What kind of emergency was this? Could it be that the Dayuan Empire had invaded?”
"No way, why haven't I heard any news?”
"Sigh…Lord Zhenbei hasn't been in charge of state affairs for long. The vitality of our Great Tang hasn't recovered yet!”
The commoners began to discuss when they saw the horses galloping.
