How many brothers did they lose in that battle? Some of my colleagues were laughing and joking together yesterday, but today they were left on that land forever!
And all this is because of General Zhao!
A group of soldiers of the Southern Army could no longer endure it. Together with General Ji, they jointly submitted a memorial, condemning the severe punishment of General Zhao. At the same time, they also affirmed that the emperor would allow General Xi to return to the military camp and take charge of the Southern Army to resist the invasion of Nanlin!
When this long memorial, filled with countless blood-red handprints, appeared in the court hall, the emperor felt pain on his face!
It was as if someone had slapped him in the face several times!
Half a month ago, in front of all the officials, he tried to force the position of General Dingnan to General Zhao, and even praised General Zhao. However, General Zhao turned around and made such a big mistake!
Not to mention being unable to explain these to the courtiers and the people, even the territory in the south cannot be preserved!
In the court hall, on the dragon chair, the emperor looked at the blood-red handprints and felt extremely dazzling!
Even though most of the officials lowered their heads at this time, the emperor still felt as if everyone was laughing at him!
After the emperor roared angrily and announced his decree to execute General Zhao on the spot, he became dizzy with anger and withdrew from the court on the spot.
Seeing the emperor being helped away, Wu Zechen and General Xi looked at each other, and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
In fact, they could submit this memorial privately, but they could no longer let the emperor continue to fiddle with it, otherwise the southern border would be really dangerous.
So in order to force the emperor to nod, the two of them discussed it and decided to present it in front of all the officials when they went to court.
Sure enough, the effect was as good as they expected.
Not long after going to court, the emperor's imperial edict came down.
General Xi and General Xi immediately led the army to guard the southern border.
As for General Xi Menghan, the emperor did not agree to her going out with the army and specifically asked her not to leave the capital.
Although the emperor did not explain the reason, everyone could see that Xi Menghan was actually kept in the capital as a proton-like existence.
The emperor's move was simply to prevent General Xi from being disobedient.
But what the emperor didn't know was that even if he didn't make this arrangement, Xi Menghan would not be able to go with the army because she was already pregnant.
Most of the courtiers could guess how unwilling the emperor was to make such a decision.
It was supposed to be a perfect opportunity to seize military power, but everything went wrong in the hands of General Zhao. No wonder the emperor was so angry that he ordered General Zhao to be executed on the spot, and he was not even allowed to return to Beijing.
But no matter how unwilling he was, the emperor did not want to see his country become the territory of Nanlin State, so he was forced to have no choice but to let General Xi return to the Southern Army again.
And the emperor also knew very well that releasing General Xi this time meant that all his previous efforts were in vain.
Thinking of this, his condition, which was just a little bit worse, immediately became a little worse.
However, what the emperor did not expect was that this was just the beginning. Within five days, an emergency report would be sent from the southwest.
But this time, it is far from comparable to the Southern Army. The southwest border is really in crisis!
After all, the Southern Army still has General Ji, who is holding up the situation on the southern border.
However, on the southwest side, because of the agreement between the emperor and the queen mother, it was more like being divided into two military defense areas.
Chu Junxiu led nearly half of the Southwest Army to guard the border near the Southern Army, while Yuejia led the other half of the army to guard the side near the Western border.
Nowadays, although Chu Junxiu still carries the title of General of the Southwest, he only exists in name only. Everyone knows that he only carries a false title. After all, Yuejia does not listen to his orders at all.
And not only did they not listen, the Yue family even controlled slightly more troops than Chu Junxiu.
However, Yue Jia, who also had high hopes from the emperor, had a worse record than General Zhao!
Lost three cities in a row in half a month! Even the two cities currently being defended are in danger!
When the emperor heard the news, he actually vomited blood on the spot! But it scared all the ministers!
After finally waking up under the treatment of the imperial doctor, the emperor's first thought was that he felt like a joke——
The biggest joke in the whole week!
General Zhao, whom he tried to protect, sent a wave of soldiers and a city to Nanlin Kingdom.
And Yuejia was even more powerful, directly giving away three cities in Poland!
The dispute between him and the Queen Mother before in the main hall seemed to be still before his eyes!
At that time, he also wanted the Yue family to lead the Southwest Army and replace Chu Junxiu as the Southwest General!
Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but feel scared!
If this had been done at that time, would five or six cities on the southwest border have to be lost now? ! Can the southwest be saved? !
Almost overnight, the emperor had a lot more white hair on his head, and he even looked not much younger than the queen mother!
On the second day after the news about the Yue family came back, when the emperor was considering countermeasures, Chu Junxiu also sent back the news.
Because the retreat distance was too long, one of the towns he defended was in danger of being surrounded and suppressed by Poland, so he had to voluntarily abandon that city and evacuate all the people and troops to prevent more incidents. Big loss.
After the emperor got the news, he was so angry that he couldn't care less about the shame!
Four cities were lost in the blink of an eye! Maybe in the past few days since the news spread back to the capital, two or three more cities might have been lost!
How could he have so many cities in the southwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty for the Yue family to waste? !
At this time, the emperor no longer cared about embarrassment, and directly ordered Chu Junxiu to take over the entire Southwest Army. He would no longer divide the defense on the southwest border and put it under the unified command of Chu Junxiu, the Southwest General.
At the same time, in order to prevent the decline in the southwest from spreading further, the emperor also ordered the Western Army to go to support.
At this time, the emperor no longer raised the issue of who is the master and who is the slave. As long as he can defend the southwest border, he doesn't care so much!
And it was when the Western Army sent troops to support the southwest that the court officials and people realized that the west of the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually the most secure and easiest to defend border!
The Western Army not only stopped all the Southern Barbarians' offensive, but also killed the Southern Barbarians to retreat. Now, the entire border buffer zone is actually under the control of the Western Army!
As long as the Nanman dare to step out of their side of the border, they will be intercepted and killed by the Western Army!
On the Western frontier, the whole situation seems to be turned upside down! It’s even hard to tell who is the invading party!
