Judging from the current situation in Xuanyuan City, the situation is extremely unfavorable to Tang Guodong. Tang Guodong feels that he may not be able to sustain it for much longer, and Xuanyuan City may soon be captured by Tang Guoao's army.
Tang Mingrui basically doesn't care about things anymore. His health is very poor, and he has handed over the power of managing the country to Tang Guodong. He is watching the overall situation from behind and thinking about countermeasures. However, he has been thinking about it for a full month.
, but couldn't even think of a way out of the predicament.
He felt that the Dragon Empire might be doomed this time. He knew that the war between the Dragon Empire and the Sky Eagle Empire was not defeated by Tang Guo'ao. It was simply defeated by the Sky Eagle Empire. He knew that this was Tang Guo Ao's collusion with the Sky Eagle Empire.
The army came to attack the Longteng Empire. This was Tang Guoao's betrayal. The final result of this battle would definitely be that the Longteng Empire was annexed by the Sky Eagle Empire. Even if Tang Guoao won, he would only be a puppet emperor at most.
"I didn't expect that the Dragon Empire would end up being betrayed by my son... It seems that the Dragon Empire is completely destroyed!" Tang Mingrui sat in his study and sighed, feeling desolate in his heart. He regretted it so much, regretted himself.
When I first delegated power to the eldest prince and the second prince, I regretted that I could not see the true colors of these two people. I regretted that I only knew how to cultivate their ability to control their subordinates and ignored their hidden ambitions.
Tang Mingrui was anxious in the study room of the palace, Tang Guodong was anxious in the main hall of the palace, and the ministers of the Longteng Empire stood in the main hall with their heads lowered and meditating hard, all of them were also very anxious in their hearts.
"Can't you even think of a way to fight the enemy? Do you just want to watch our Dragon Empire being overwhelmed by the army of the Sky Eagle Empire?" Tang Guodong couldn't hear the voices of the ministers, and he was thinking in his heart.
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Aren't you usually quite eloquent? Why are you all mute now?"
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, I thought..." An old man who looked to be in his sixties came out tremblingly, looked at Tang Guodong and said hesitantly: "I thought... this matter must be handled this way..."
"What are we going to do? Tell me quickly!" Tang Guodong frowned and said impatiently.
"I think that you and the second prince Tang Guoao are brothers after all. If you are willing to take a step back, this defeat may be avoided." The old man thinks that his idea is a good one. In his opinion, if Tang Guodong agrees with him,
It is suggested that at least the war in the imperial capital will not break out again, and his glory and wealth should be preserved.
When Tang Guodong heard what the old man said, he couldn't help but feel furious. It was obvious that the old man wanted him to surrender to the second prince Tang Guoao.
How could he surrender to the second prince? The second prince had united with the Sky Eagle Empire to attack the Soaring Dragon Empire. If he chose to surrender, many people in the Soaring Dragon Empire, including him, would definitely be wiped out. Even to the last day.
The Eagle Empire may directly annex the Soaring Dragon Empire.
The most important thing is that if he surrenders, not to mention others, he and Tang Mingrui will definitely die. Can he surrender so easily?
"Who else advocates surrender?" Tang Guodong frowned fiercely and looked at the ministers standing on both sides. At this time, he had made a decision in his heart and decided to be a ruthless person again.
In the past, following Shen Yifeng's words, in the eyes of the ministers of the Longteng Empire, he was a ruthless prince who only liked killing people all day long. However, in the end, his bad reputation was completely clarified, and this matter was clarified The biggest contributor was of course the person who specially helped him make the Yi Rong Dan.
After that incident, Tang Guodong's reputation in the Longteng Empire became very loud, and no one thought that he was a bloodthirsty and murderous prince anymore.
However, now Tang Guodong plans to use ruthless means again. He will never allow any of these ministers to think about surrender all the time. Each of these ministers has a high position and the words they say are very influential. Here Under such circumstances, their words of surrender are likely to shake the morale of the military.
Among the ministers standing in the court hall, two more old men came out at this time and said together: "I also think that we should seek peace with His Highness the Second Prince."
Summation is a nice way of saying it, but in fact, summation at this time is simply surrender.
"Who else!" Tang Guodong's face became much calmer, but his heart became more and more angry. Trying to suppress the anger in his heart, Tang Guodong continued to ask: "Everyone who agrees to seek peace, come forward, let me see. Should we do this next?"
"I also advocate seeking peace."
"I second the proposal."
"I also second the proposal."
Soon, seven or eight ministers stood up, all advocating for peace.
"Is there any more?" Tang Guodong looked at the ministers standing on both sides and continued to ask.
There was no voice anymore. Except for the seven or eight people who stood up, no one advocated for peace.
After waiting for a full minute, seeing that no one proposed peace, Tang Guodong loudly said: "Since you advocate peace, then I will grant it to you. If you pass the order, these ministers will be removed from the Longteng Empire." , and let them wear soldiers' clothes and rush to the front of the battlefield to feel how our soldiers of the Soaring Dragon Empire fought bloody battles to protect the city!"
"yes!"
Outside the court, several guards came in loudly and quickly took all seven or eight ministers away.
This time, of course, no one would propose peace. Everyone was silent and did not dare to say a word. They just stood there with their heads lowered and looking at the ground.
"Everyone, please step back!"
Tang Guodong frowned fiercely. He knew that it would be useless to continue to force these people, because these people could not come up with an effective strategy to retreat from the enemy. He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and thought silently: "Look Come on, I'm still too impatient. If I had been slower to attack Tang Guo'ao, if I could have waited until Shen Yifeng came back, I might not have been in such a difficult situation."
He deeply regretted that he had acted too quickly some time ago, and also regretted that he had accidentally allowed Tang Guoao to escape from Xuanyuan City.
It's just that now the deal is done, and regretting it will have no effect.
In the residence of General Dugu, Dugu Ba and Dugu Hong were sitting in the living room with frowning faces.
The situation in the Imperial Capital is precarious, but at the border, the Mad Lion Legion's army is tightly tied up by the enemy's army, and no troops can be mobilized to support the Imperial Capital. Under this situation, it seems that the Imperial Capital will be captured sooner or later. matter.
"The current situation seems to be irreversible!" Dugu Ba sighed heavily, turned to look at Dugu Hong and said, "Now, we must think about our retreat."
"What retreat?" Duguhong looked at Duguba with some confusion and asked.
"The Mad Lion Army must be preserved, and it must be firmly in the hands of our Dugu family." Dugu Ba said: "Only if we have the army in our hands, can we survive in troubled times. Otherwise, once the imperial capital falls, our Dugu family may be
It will be completely wiped out soon."
"you mean?"
"You will set off immediately before dawn, go to the Mad Lion Army, and try to resist the enemy's attack. Remember, you only defend but not attack to preserve your strength!" Duguba said: "Our Mad Lion Army has the best weapons and equipment, and
The preparation of strategic materials has been extremely complete. If we only defend but not attack, I believe that even if we fight for two or three years, our Mad Lion Army will not be conquered by the enemy."
"You mean to let us fight with the enemy Zhou Xuan at the border and watch the changes in the war situation in the empire?" Duguhong asked. He frowned slightly. He knew that Duguba's decision was actually to make the Mad Lion Legion no longer
Sending troops to support the Imperial Capital would mean that the entire Mad Lion Legion would go out on its own. He didn't want this very much, but thinking about the situation in the Imperial Capital at this time, he also knew that the decision Dugu Ba made at this time was really helpless.
's decided.
Knowing that the Imperial Capital cannot be saved, in order to protect the Dugu family from destruction, the Mad Lion Army has become the Dugu family's last resort.
"Where is Yu'er? Should I take her away?" Duguhong asked.
"No for now.|" Dugu Ba shook his head and said: "Yu'er is the woman of that boy Shen Yifeng. I believe that boy Shen Yifeng can protect Yu'er. Compared with the Mad Lion Legion, I think Shen Yifeng is the one who loves her at this time.
The strength you have seems to be more secure."
"What strength does he possess?" Dugu Hong looked at Dugu Ba with some confusion: "Don't he only have one Lingxiao City?"
"The strength that Lingxiao City now possesses is extremely powerful. In addition, Lingxiao City can transform into an academy at any time, which makes it even safer." Duguba explained: "Don't forget, in all major empires, academies are
I won’t get involved in the empire’s war.”
"That's true." Duguhong nodded.
"Moreover, don't forget that in addition to Lingxiao City and three academies, that boy Shen Yifeng also has the support of Tianming Sect. In this case, even if the Longteng Empire is completely destroyed, Shen Yifeng will definitely be able to
To protect Yu’er.”
"Since this kid can save Yu'er, he should be able to save our Dugu family." Dugu Hong said: "I don't think he will watch our Dugu family be destroyed. In times of crisis, our Dugu family should be
You can rely on him."
"It is precisely because of this that I let you take control of our Mad Lion Army. This is our only bargaining chip for a comeback in the future." Dugu Ba said.
"Okay, I'll go and clean up right away, and then I'll set off for the Mad Lion Army immediately," Duguhong said.
