Chapter 254
Lin Manzi hurriedly explained.
After learning about the situation, Zhao Rui was shocked. He did not expect that Murong Bing would go on the expedition himself and bring an army of 1.5 million.
With such an overwhelming force, it would be bad if other vassal states took advantage of the emptiness in the country and attacked Luo City from behind!
Zhao Rui did not hesitate and immediately ordered the entire Black and White Army to dispatch.
A large area of territory in the northern border of Peng Wei has now been captured by the great merchants.
After receiving the order, Sima Wu almost looked like he was risking his life. He led his army and marched straight to the gate of Nanzheng City in just two days.
The other generals led their troops to attack in all directions, deliberately bypassing Nanzheng and attacking all the way south.
This is obviously to allow Sima Wu to get the title of Peng Guogong legitimately.
The 100,000-strong army that besieged Li Fei at Nanzheng City was forced to return to the city under Sima Wu's attack. Li Fei also managed to escape and join forces with Sima Wu.
After suffering such a great injustice, Li Fei naturally would not give up and immediately borrowed 80,000 troops from Sima Wu to attack Peng Wei.
Peng Zhan never dreamed that Dashang's army would arrive so quickly.
The armies from various places in Peng and Wei will not be able to reach the royal capital for a while. Although there are 300,000 troops in the royal city, there is insufficient food and grass, so they can only hold on for a month at most.
"Your Highness, the merchant army's offensive is too fierce, and there are many engineering equipment that we have never seen before. Our soldiers who defend the city simply cannot withstand it."
"Yes, Prince, the food and grass in the city has always been for the imperial army. Three hundred thousand troops came all of a sudden, and they can't last long at all."
"Master Xiangguo must have a way to defeat the enemy. Why not release him first?"
...
Peng Zhan was also in disarray. At this time, it seemed that except Chen He, there was no one he could fight with!
Moreover, many of the civil servants and generals in the court came from Chen He's family. Since Chen He was imprisoned, these people have also been implicated. They have either been relieved of their military power or directly imprisoned, so that no one in the court can be used.
"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and invite Mr. Xiangguo here."
Peng Zhan also truly realized the importance of Chen He.
For the past thirty years, Peng Wei has been supported almost by Chen He alone.
Without him, Peng Wei would have been carved up by other vassal states.
At this moment, a messenger covered in blood rushed into the hall while rolling and crawling.
"Your Highness, Prince Huan of Lu Zhou is here!"
Upon hearing this, Peng Jiang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and jumped up from the throne.
"I really didn't expect that the one who came to save me in the end was Lu Zhou! They really didn't get this Danyang for nothing. Which gate did they come in through? Hurry up and open the door!"
The envoy was immediately confused: "Your Highness, Prince Huan of Lu Zhou is not here to save us. He brought an army of 300,000 to the city, joined forces with Sima Wu's army, and acted as a vanguard to attack our north gate!"
Peng Zhan's face was ashen. Sima Wu's 300,000 troops were already difficult enough, but he didn't expect another 300,000 to come.
Chapter completed!
