Final Volume Chapter 105
Final Volume Chapter 1989
The battle reports from all sides can be summed up in two words: reinforcements! But Xiao Xiang couldn't afford reinforcements at all now. In any case, the capital city was a top priority, and it was impossible to send out all the soldiers without leaving any troops behind.
well! Xiao Xiang stood up, let out a long sigh, and paced back and forth in the study in a disturbed mood. At this moment, a palace maid came in from outside, and Fu Shen said: "Your Majesty, General Xue is asking for an audience outside the palace!"
"Who?" Xiao Xiang didn't react for a while, and frowned at the palace maid who reported the news. The palace maid cautiously replied: "It's General Xue Rong. Read the full text of General Xue!"
"It's him!" If the palace maid hadn't said Xue Rong's name, Xiao Xiang would have almost forgotten the existence of this person. Xue Rong was also a famous general in the Sichuan Kingdom, but he declined in recent years, and the factor that caused his decline was the Feng Kingdom.

When Feng State used troops against Huan State, Sichuan State sent troops to reinforce Huan State. The commander of the Sichuan army at that time was Xue Rong. As a result, Xue Rong suffered repeated setbacks in the battle with Feng Army. In the end, he had no choice but to retreat to Sichuan State in defeat. Huan State also Successfully annexed by Feng Kingdom.
After returning to China, Xue Rong, as a defeated general, not only suffered a cold reception from Xiao Xuan, but was also demoted and reduced in rank from a dignified general to a general serving as a ceremonial officer.
The General of Si Li is almost the same as the General of Zhendian. He just has a false position with an empty title and no real power, let alone military power.
Xiao Xiang was surprised when Xue Rong, who had been silent for so long, suddenly came to ask to see her. Originally, she did not want to see Xue Rong, but then she thought about it. .
After thinking about it, she nodded and said to the palace maid: "Invite him to come to the study!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" the palace maid agreed, bowed and left.
Not long after, Xue Rong walked in from outside. Seeing Xiao Xiang, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Xue Rong, the last general, comes to see your Majesty!"
"General Xue, please get up!" Xiao Xiang waved his hand slowly. After Xue Rong got up, she asked casually: "I wonder why General Xue wants to see me late at night?"
Xue Rong's face straightened and he said: "The general is worried about the battle ahead, so he took the liberty to ask for a meeting late at night. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Xiao Xiang nodded and asked straight to the point: "General Xue must have some understanding of the current war situation. Our country is currently short of troops and stretched thin. Does General Xue have any good strategies?"
Xue Rong slowly lowered his head and whispered: "This..."
Xiao Xiang raised her head and said: "There are no outsiders here. If General Xue has anything to say, just say it!"
Xue Rong pondered for a moment and then said: "The king wants troops, but it's not that he doesn't have them. The king originally captured the family troops of the twelve princes as laborers and sent them to build the Tianshang Canal. Although their weapons and equipment were confiscated, But they are soldiers after all. As long as they do not become old, weak, sick or disabled, their fighting power will remain. As long as they put down their hoes, put on their armor and pick up their weapons again, they can be sent to the battlefield to kill the enemy immediately. "
Yo! Xue Rong's words reminded Xiao Xiang that yes, those family soldiers who were dragged into working as laborers could indeed be turned back into soldiers fighting on the battlefield. When Xue Rong finished speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing this, Xue Rong sighed secretly and continued: "Your Majesty, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
There was joy on Xiao Xiang's face, and her nerves became much more relaxed. She said with a smile, "If General Xue has anything to say, just tell him."
Xue Rong said: "Even if our country now puts all the labor of building Tianshang Canal on the battlefield, it will not change our country's current predicament. Both Feng and Zhen armies are the most adept at fighting that the general has ever seen. If these two armies are enemies of each other, they will both lose. But if they join forces, they can sweep across the world and be invincible. Now, the two armies of Fengzhen have obviously joined forces. Even if our country sends more troops, it will be difficult to defeat them. The Fengzhen Alliance Army can compete with each other, not to mention that Feng Kingdom has only dispatched eight legions now, and behind them, there are more powerful direct armies and hundreds of war armies..."
The joy that had just appeared on Xiao Xiang's face disappeared, and was replaced by worry. Although Xue Rong's words don't sound good, it doesn't mean they are unreasonable. Sichuan State is now reaching its limit, and Feng State still has many useless trump cards.
Not to mention the Directly Affiliated Army and the Hundred War Army, which have not been put into the battlefield for the time being. If the Feng Army is really in danger, the Jade State, which has always been attached to the Feng State, will definitely send troops to reinforce it. In addition, Ren Xiao, who has a close personal relationship with Tang Yin, has now sat down. After stabilizing the throne of the Holy King of Shenchi, when the war situation goes against Feng Kingdom, Shenchi will definitely step in to help.

Is it possible for the Sichuan State to single-handedly counter the Feng State and the complex forces related to the Feng State? What's more, standing with Feng Ren now is the ferocious and savage Sadato.
The more Xiao Xiang thought about it, the more headache she got. She raised her hand to rub her forehead and asked, "In General Xue's opinion, what should our country do now?"
Xue Rong looked up at Xiao Xiang and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, lowered his head, bit his lips tightly, and remained silent.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xiao Xiang became anxious and said in a deep voice: "What time is it now? If you have something to say, General Xue, just say it. Stop hesitating!"
Xue Rong was worried and said: "There is only one way out for now, which is... Surrender!"
"What?" Xiao Xiang suspected that she had heard it wrong. She stood up with her eyes wide open, staring at Xue Rong. Xue Rong dared to surrender in front of her. Was he too bold or did he think that she was too easy to bully?
Bang! Xiao Xiang stood there for a long time, then suddenly slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Xue Rong, you are so bold that you actually persuaded me to surrender to the enemy country..."
Before she finished speaking, Xue Rong hurriedly explained: "The king misunderstood. The surrender I said was not surrendering to Fengren or Zhenren, but surrendering to the emperor."
"Huh?" The anger on Xiao Xiang's face slowly turned into confusion. She didn't understand what Xue Rong meant.
Xue Rong said: "Feng State has always fought wars in the name of taking back the fiefdom for the emperor, and annexed other countries everywhere. Now our country surrenders to the emperor and returns our Sichuan land to the emperor. In this way, Feng State will have no excuse to attack our Sichuan land, and the war will naturally stop."
Xiao Xiang narrowed his eyes and said in a concentrated voice: "But if we do this, there will be no Sichuan State in the world in the future!"
"Voluntarily surrendering to the emperor and handing over the fiefdom is much better than being destroyed by Feng Zhen together."
While speaking, Xue Rong knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "Fighting further will only increase the casualties of our Sichuan children and will not help. I hope the king will think twice and take the lives of our Sichuan children as the most important!"
Looking at Xue Rong kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes, Xiao Xiang slowly sat back on the bed. Handing over the fiefdom to the emperor is equivalent to actively destroying the country, but if he doesn't do this, can Sichuan survive? I'm afraid it will be even worse, and in the end, the blood of the children of Sichuan will flow like a river, and they will not be able to escape the bad fate of the destruction of the country.
Xiao Xiang didn't speak for a long time, her eyes were dull, and her face was changing.
Seeing this, Xue Rong kowtowed to her repeatedly, and said anxiously: "My king, the blood of my children in Sichuan has been shed enough. If the fighting continues, not only will Sichuan become rubble, but the blood of my people will also flow..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Xiang waved her hand and said expressionlessly: "Don't say anything more. I have heard your advice. Go down first!"
"My king..."
"Go down!" Xiao Xiang slammed the table and shouted angrily, and her eyes were almost spitting out fire. Xue Rong shuddered, dared not say more, kowtowed to Xiao Xiang again, and then stood up tremblingly and walked out slowly.
After Xue Rong left, Xiao Xiang's tears also fell, and she couldn't help but sighing to the sky. Could it be that the glorious Sichuan Kingdom, which had been glorious for thousands of years, was really going to perish in her hands? Will his name really be despised by the descendants of Sichuan people for generations?
Xue Rong's remonstrance was a heavy blow to Xiao Xiang, but soon, a heavier blow came. A few days later, the second son Xiao Yuan and the third son Xiao Yu took advantage of the turmoil in the court to escape from Zhaoyang.
Xiao Yuan fled to the south, colluded with the remaining princes, raised the banner of impeaching Xiao Xiang, and wanted to establish himself as king to compete with the precarious Sichuan court. [Tang Yin in the Other World] 1 38 Reading Network First Release
If Xiao Yuan's actions were still within Xiao Xiang's acceptable range, then Xiao Yu's actions were completely unbearable for Xiao Xiang.
Xiao Yu did not go south with Xiao Yuan, but went north to Feng State. This incident dealt a heavy blow to the morale of Chuan State and even the Chuan Army. You should know that Xiao Yu is a royal family and the elder brother of the current Chuan King. His choice to go to Feng State is undoubtedly sending a strong message to all Chuan people that Chuan State is no longer viable. The current predicament of Chuan State cannot be described as precarious, but it has reached the point where it will soon fall apart.
Xiao Yuan fled to the south to openly confront the court, and Xiao Yu suddenly turned to Feng State. These two things made Chuan State, which was already at the end of its rope, even worse. In particular, Xiao Yu's defection caused many Chuan people to go north with their families to seek refuge, and even deserters began to appear on a large scale in front of the two armies.
This was not the end. Two months later, bad news came from Shiling County. The Chuan Army trapped in Fengwu was completely annihilated by the Zhen Army. Commander Jin Zhuo and deputy commanders Yang Zhao and Lu You all died for their country.
After this battle report was sent back to Zhaoyang, it was equivalent to a fatal blow to the Chuan State court.
The 400,000-man army was completely wiped out. Jin Zhuo, Yang Zhao, and Lu You were all famous generals of the Chuan Kingdom. They had fought all their lives, but even such famous generals died in battle. Who could stop the Zhen army? Who could save the Chuan Kingdom?
Now, not to mention that the people of the Chuan Kingdom were in despair, even Xiao Xiang and the Chuan Kingdom’s court could no longer see any hope. The panic of the impending destruction of the country spread like a plague in Zhaoyang.
The current situation of the Chuan Kingdom has reached a point where Xiao Xiang must make a decision quickly, whether to fight the enemy to the death with the whole country’s strength or to lay down his arms and surrender.
