Chapter 875 His Goal Is About to Be Achieved

After Ning Chen entered the city, he stayed at the governor's mansion temporarily.

That night, Ning Chen entertained all the generals in the army and the officials of Lingzhou.

The officials of Lingzhou finally felt relieved.

What they were most worried about was that Ning Chen would settle accounts with them after entering the city. Although they had never offended Ning Chen, they were the ministers of Emperor De before.

A new dynasty has new ministers.

But Ning Chen did not show such an intention, which made them feel relieved.

The officials of Lingzhou proposed to build a palace for Ning Chen, but Ning Chen refused... It was really unnecessary to build a large-scale palace, which would waste people's money and labor.

Although Lingzhou was no longer in short supply of food and grass, after all, the army of more than 300,000 people under his command had to spend money everywhere, so they had to save money wherever possible.

That night, Ning Chen got drunk!

The next day, he sobered up.

Pan Yucheng brought the hangover soup. Ning Chen drank it, ate something, and then called Yuan Long, Qi Yuanzhong and others.

Now that Lingzhou is in his hands, the next step is to take Xiuzhou, which is also rich.

Xiuzhou is not far from Lingzhou.

However, there are only 30,000 garrisons in Xiuzhou, so he doesn't need to show up in person.

As long as he occupies Xiuzhou, he will have money, food, and soldiers.

"Yuan Long, is it okay for you and Brother Qi to go to Xiuzhou?"

Yuan Long grinned and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The garrison in Xiuzhou has not been on the battlefield for a long time and its combat effectiveness is weak... I am willing to issue a military order to take Xiuzhou in 15 days. If I fail to take it, I am willing to be punished by military law!"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Okay, three days later, you will lead the Ning'an Army and Brother Qi will lead 50,000 Xuanjia Army to Xiuzhou."

"I obey your order!"

The two of them accepted the order in unison.

"Yuan Long, Brother Qi, although we have the advantage, we still have to be careful!"

"Yes!"

Qi Yuanzhong's eyes were slightly red. Ning Chen was now the emperor, but he still called him Brother Qi, which made him feel both panic and moved.

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor, and I am a minister... Your Majesty should call me by my name in the future, otherwise it will be heard by outsiders and damage the emperor's prestige!"

Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "Okay! I will call you by your name when there are people in the future, and I will call you Brother Qi when there are no people."

Qi Yuanzhong was not a hypocritical person, and nodded silently.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "It's really God's help that we can successfully take Lingzhou this time... If we can successfully take Xiuzhou, we don't have to worry about food and grass anymore, and we can be regarded as having a firm foothold."

Yuan Long said, "Your Majesty, since we have a firm foothold now... Should we choose a day to hold the coronation ceremony?"

Ning Chen waved his hand without thinking, "Let's talk about it later!"

Ning Chen said so, so it's not good for everyone to say anything more?

Three days later, Yuan Long and Qi Yuanzhong led the army to Xiuzhou.

Ning Chen was stationed in Lingzhou.

Lingzhou was too important, and he felt relieved when he was stationed in person.

In the following days, Ning Chen was very busy.

Now that he occupied Lingzhou and Lingzhou, the trade route with Wu State could be reopened!

In addition, Ning Chen is now vigorously developing agriculture.

Food is the foundation of the country.

Without food, even if you have a million troops, it is just a decoration.

Of course, now there are more than 300,000 troops under your command... the most important thing is good generals.

Ning Chen has been frantically selecting and training talents recently.

Ning Chen has been very busy recently, and more than ten days have passed in a flash!

.......

The capital, the palace.

The memorials were scattered all over the ground again.

Emperor De was furious again, incompetent and furious.

The reason was that Zong Sibai had just sent a message that Xiguan City had fallen.

Xiguan City was too far away from the capital.

Xiliang broke through Xiguan City and robbed the food. It had been transported to Beilin Pass for a long time before the capital got the news.

Emperor De was so angry that veins popped out of his forehead.

"Where is Leng Wenyan? Send him an order immediately to abandon Xiguan City and lead the army to retreat to Bianzhou."

Zong Sibai knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Emperor De looked at him and said sternly: "Are you dumb?"

Zong Sibai said in a trembling voice: "Leng Wenyan led more than 100,000 troops from the western border and has retreated to Bianzhou, but he...but he..."

Emperor De asked in a deep voice: "What happened to him?"

Zong Sibai said in panic: "Your Majesty, Leng Wenyan rebelled. He occupied Bianzhou, held his own troops, and established himself as king, calling himself King Wen."

Emperor De's head buzzed, his eyes went dark, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

Leng Wenyan was not recommended by Zong Sibai, but was Emperor De's confidant.

Since Emperor De was still the prince, Leng Wenyan has been his man.

The Western Border Army was originally led by King Wu, but he did not trust King Wu, so he replaced him with his own man Leng Wenyan.

Leng Wenyan was quite capable, but he turned around and stabbed him in the back.

Emperor De gritted his teeth, and his back teeth were almost broken!

Emperor De's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared: "He actually dared to betray me, send troops, send troops to me to fight... I will cut him into pieces."

Zong Sibai knelt under the dragon case, with his head down, but his eyes lit up slightly when he heard this.

If he wanted to send troops to fight Leng Wenyan, he could only transfer troops from the Eastern Border.

Once the Tokyo army was transferred, it would be equivalent to handing over the Eastern Border and Xiangzhou to Showa.

There was Showa in the east, Nanyue in the south, Ningchen in the north, Xiliang and Leng Wenyan in the west... The Great Xuanjiang Mountain was torn apart, hahahaha... The Great Xuanjiang Mountain was finished.

Zong Sibai was so excited that he couldn't help trembling slightly.

His goal was about to be achieved!

"Your Majesty's Holy Order!"

Zong Sibai shouted.

This is a typical example of turning an idiot into a big idiot.

Does De Di have a brain? There must be...but he is very arrogant and willful. Now he feels that everyone in the world has felt sorry for him and betrayed him, and his remaining sanity has long since left home.

He only has one thought now, which is to kill all those who betrayed him.

Anyway, if you don’t reflect on it, why would you end up betraying everyone?

"Zhao Da, prepare a decree for me and send it to the Eastern Territory, asking them to leave and send troops to conquer the traitor Leng Wenyan."

Zhao Dazheng was about to receive the order when he heard Zong Yue's slightly urgent voice outside the hall.

Emperor De said angrily: "Get in!"

Zong Yue walked in quickly and glanced at Zong Sibai.

Emperor De said in a deep voice: "What's the matter with you?"

Zong Yue withdrew his gaze, looked at Emperor De, knelt down and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, we just received the urgent report from Lingzhou..."

Zong Yue swallowed and then continued: "Lingzhou has been lost!"

It was as if Emperor De was struck by lightning, his vision went dark, and he collapsed on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... call the imperial doctor quickly..."

Zhao Da's high-pitched voice sounded in the hall.

Zong Sibai was also stunned and could not recover for a long time.

Lingzhou fell?

How is this possible?

Lingzhou's 100,000-strong army, 10,000 of which were equipped with firearms.

King Wu is also a man who conquers the battlefield. Even if his ability to lead troops is not as good as Ning Chen's, he can't be defeated so quickly, right?

"Bring it!"

Zong Sibai stretched out his hand.

He is the auxiliary minister, and the urgent report is not a secret order, so he has the right to check it.

After reading the contents of the memorial, everyone froze.
