Zhu Qiyu was celebrating with his subordinates.
Fang Yue stepped forward and reminded him.
"Your Majesty. The Retired Emperor has passed away, please take the overall situation into consideration.”
His reminder instantly woke everyone up from their excitement.
Yes, the Retired Emperor had passed away.
It's indeed inappropriate for us to be rejoicing here.
Zhu Qiyu also looked embarrassed.
She was so happy that she forgot about this matter.
Fortunately, the people in front of him were close to him.
He didn't have to forcefully squeeze out two drops of tears to cover it up.
"Cough cough, Imperial Brother was harmed by Yexian. This revenge, Zhen will definitely avenge Imperial Brother.”
Zhu Qiyu had a look of deep hatred.
Those who didn't know better would really think that he and Zhu Qizhen were close brothers.
"Your Majesty, I will let the soldiers in the city wear white silk for the Retired Emperor to remember this humiliation.”
Ma Ning suggested.
It is said that he will mourn for the Retired Emperor for three days.
In fact, he wanted to tell the soldiers in the city that the disaster Retired Emperor was already dead.
Let's celebrate.
It was just that this celebration was a little different.
"Alright, in addition, send those two eunuchs Xi Ning and Li Yi to the Retired Emperor. They were all people that Retired Emperor liked.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After dealing with these miscellaneous matters.
Only then did Zhu Qiyu receive the emissary from Yexian.
After the envoy bowed with trepidation, he revealed his purpose for coming.
After Zhu Qiyu heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"You also want to use my Great Ming's city to extort money from me?”
"It seems that you haven't understood the situation yet. This time, I won't kill you. Go back and tell Yexian to wash his neck and wait for me.”
The emissary of Yexian still wanted to say something.
The Southern Tyrant King, Shi Zhuzi, grabbed the envoy and threw him out.
At the same time.
Yu Qian, Fan Guang, and the others brought 300,000 troops and finally arrived at Zijing Pass.
When they saw that the entire city was covered in white, they were so frightened that they almost fell off their horses.
Did…Did something happen to the new emperor?
Otherwise, why would everyone in the city wear white silk?
It wouldn't happen.
It definitely wasn't the new emperor. He definitely didn't look like someone with a short life.
Everyone kept consoling themselves.
Just as they were panicking.
Zhang Mao and Tang Jie came out excitedly.
"Minister Yu, you're finally here.”
Yu Qian did not have time to think and pointed at the white silk on their bodies.
"This is…"
Zhang Mao and Tang Jie were stunned. Then, they said in a low voice,"The Retired Emperor was killed by the Wala people.”
After Yu Qian, Fan Guang, and the other civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty heard this, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
So the Retired Emperor was dead. That was good, that was good.
Immediately, they also revealed looks of grief and indignation.
"Wala dared to kill our Retired Emperor. This time, we must make them pay with blood.”
"Right, only Yexian's head can wash away the shame of our Great Ming.”
Just as everyone was feeling indignant.
Zhang Mao and Tang Jie quickly said to Yu Qian.
"Minister Yu, yesterday, we've already wiped out half of Yexian's 200,000 soldiers.”
"Moreover, Tuotuo Buhua has already decided to surrender to our Great Ming and work together with us to kill Yexian.”
Their words once again shocked Yu Qian, Fan Guang, and the rest on the spot.
What…what was going on?
His Majesty and the others had only arrived at the Purple Jing Pass for less than a day.
How did he manage to wipe out half of Yexian's army?
One had to know that when His Majesty came here yesterday to provide reinforcements, he only brought 10,000 reinforcements.
Zhang Mao saw that they were all shocked and could not help but excitedly tell them about last night's fire.
When Yu Qian and the others heard this, it was as if they had been struck by lightning.
"This…this is unbelievable.”
"Our army of hundreds of thousands has yet to arrive, and His Majesty is already about to end this war.”
"In that case, there are only about 60,000 soldiers left?”
Guardian's Residence, Main Hall.
Zhu Qiyu received Yu Qian, Fan Guang, and the other soldiers who had rushed over.
Because the Retired Emperor had been killed, no one dared to show too much excitement.
"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. At the most critical moment, they had to eliminate them first.”
Yu Qian stepped forward and began to plan the next step.
The reason why Zhu Qiyu let Shi Zhuzi set fire to Yexian's camp was actually to buy time for the Great Ming's hundreds of thousands of troops to rest.
However, the result was surprisingly good.
Right now, the Great Ming army of hundreds of thousands had suffered heavy losses, leaving only tens of thousands of troops.
Instantly, morale was high, and there was no need to rest.
"Your Majesty, after the envoy returns, they will know that they can't stop our Great Ming Army and will immediately retreat.”
"I believe that we can't let him escape. Tuotuo Buhua's strategy of working together from the inside and outside was still feasible.”
Yu Qian's arrival undoubtedly gave Zhu Qiyu a shot in the arm.
"Alright, the army will set out immediately. However, he had to remind the troops not to be careless.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ming's 300,000 strong army left Zijing Pass and began to attack Tongcheng.
Outside the same city.
The remnants of Yexian were all panicking and waiting anxiously.
In the morning, they sent out an envoy to Great Ming.
I wonder how the peace negotiations are going?
In the past, as long as Wala was willing to negotiate peace, Ming would compromise every time.
Then, he would give them generous wealth to appease them.
In their opinion, if Wala was willing to show weakness this time, Da Ming would be willing to accept them again like in the past.
Pacify them and reward them generously.
When they returned to the grasslands, after a few years of recuperation.
At that time, they would be able to reassemble their 200,000 strong army and head south again.
Unfortunately, they were wrong this time.
When they saw their envoy's flustered appearance, they knew that something was wrong.
"Great Khan, Great Ming's new Emperor refuses to negotiate peace. It seemed that this emperor was really different.”
"Great Khan, please make your decision quickly. Otherwise, the Great Ming army will soon arrive.”
The envoy continued to persuade.
The other generals also panicked.
Right now, there were only 60,000 tribes left with low morale.
If they were to go up against the Great Ming army, the consequences could be imagined.
Yexian's expression was filled with grief and indignation.
A few days ago, he was still full of pride, but today, he was like a frosted eggplant.
The Ash Wolf Tribe was completely annihilated.
His army's rations had almost been burned to ashes last night.
There was also Tuotuo Buhua's betrayal.
All of this made Yexian furious.
He wished he could have a big battle with Da Ming to relieve the hatred in his heart.
However, he knew that he did not have much left.
If he acted willfully, then the Wala tribes would be dragged into the abyss.
Just as he was about to order the army to retreat…
Suddenly, they heard the sounds of killing in the same city.
Arrows rained down from the city tower.
"Great Khan, bad news. That old thief Tuotuo Buhua has launched an attack on us.”
