The person who came was none other than Kong Liu, a great scholar from Donglin Academy.
Kong Liu was also an old acquaintance. Whether it was the battle to destroy the Gongsun family, the Yin Yang Sect martial arts conference, or the day of the coup to seize power, he was involved. He had also met Nian An several times.
At this time, I was extremely surprised to see Nian An coming here.
The soldiers standing at the door were shocked when they heard the identity of the visitor, and they all knelt on the ground.
"Meet the Queen!"
"Your Majesty, I am too blind to see Mount Tai. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
"Everyone, get up."
Nian An looked at them, smiled slightly and said,
"Brothers, you have all worked hard to defend the city. You have done nothing but merit, so how can you forgive me?"
"Thank you, ma'am."
All the soldiers stood up one after another and lowered their heads to show respect, but some soldiers still secretly raised their eyes to peek at Nian An.
They were also very strange in their hearts. This queen was so strange. She was beautiful, but she was dressed like a charlatan. She was exactly the same as the heroines who came to help in the battle before.
Shouldn't the Queen wear gold, silver, and phoenix robes?
And what is the Queen doing here?
This is a battlefield, where we vulgar big-headed soldiers are waiting. What are you doing in this dirty place with a body of gold and blood?
"Mr. Kong, you are fine."
Nian'an looked at Kong Liu and nodded to indicate returning to camp.
"May the Queen be blessed with peace of mind. I wonder what you are doing when you are here?"
Kong Liu asked curiously.
"Looking at my outfit, you can tell why I'm here. Naturally, I'm here to help you defend the city and kill the enemy."
Nian An raised his nose proudly, making the surrounding soldiers look crazy.
The first thought was, it’s so beautiful, this is our Queen of Dachuan, she is indeed a beauty that is only one in a million.
The second thought is, wait a minute? Damn it! Your majestic queen, do you want to defend the city with us big soldiers? Fight alongside?
What a privilege!
Who can have such treatment?
There have been cases in the past where the emperor personally went on an expedition. All the soldiers who followed the emperor on the expedition were so proud that their nostrils turned to the sky.
But have any of you ever seen the Queen go on an expedition?
Which of you has fought side by side with the Queen?
If this matter is told in the future, I will be able to brag about it for thirty years!
At this moment, the soldiers were moved to tears and almost swore allegiance to the Queen on the spot.
Kong Liu frowned when he heard this. Isn't this nonsense? Since ancient times, how could any queen come to the battlefield in person? m.
"Queen, may I ask, does your Majesty know about this? Does he agree?"
Hearing this, Nian'an recalled what Wang Fugui told her when she came here.
When you get there to announce the decree, come back quickly and don't delay breastfeeding my son.
Thinking of this, Nian An blushed and said with a glare,
"If he dares to disagree, I'll break his legs!"
Huh! The Queen is so domineering!
Kong Liu smiled bitterly and said,
"Your Majesty, you'd better go see the commander-in-chief, Prince Ning. I don't dare to make a decision on this matter."
"Where is the eldest brother?"
"In the city government office."
Nian'an followed Kong Liu all the way to the Yamen, and met Prince Ning, Wang Biao, and many powerful people from Donglin Academy and the royal family.
"My lord, pay homage to the Queen."
Prince Ning and others immediately saluted.
"Brother, there is no need to be polite."
Nian An pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Your Majesty, I'm here this time, but what's the matter?"
Prince Ning asked curiously.
"I come with His Majesty's will."
Nian An said seriously.
"Purpose? What did your Majesty say?"
Prince Ning and others looked at each other.
"His Majesty asks you to retreat to Luodu City as soon as possible."
"What? Retreat!"
A grumpy general immediately stood up and asked loudly,
"Why are we retreating? We fought for so many days and finally stabilized the defense line and contained the enemy. If we retreat now, the lives of our brothers will be wasted!"
"General Wu, don't be rude!"
Prince Ning shouted in a deep voice.
General Wu then remembered that the person he had yelled at was the Queen, and immediately retreated angrily.
Prince Ning turned to look at Nian An and asked,
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Although we lost the war some time ago, our effective forces have been preserved. It is just a strategic transfer.
Now that we have stabilized the defense line of Qianxi City, even if the enemy troops are more numerous than us, we are defending the city and they are attacking the city. If one goes against the other, their casualties will be huge.
When the enemy army is exhausted, our army can be like a tiger coming out of the mountain, defeating the enemy army in one fell swoop, counterattacking Kuncheng, taking down the emperor and clan of the puppet Wu regime in one fell swoop, and completely annihilating the demon sect and puppet Wu.
If we retreat now, all our previous efforts will be in vain, and once we retreat to Luodu City, we will directly hand over half of the country to the enemy, and also directly expose the lifeline of the capital to the enemy's sword. One careless move All bets are lost.
Now we still have a very broad strategic depth, why should we give up a good situation to others? "
After King Ning finished speaking, Kong Liu also frowned and said,
"Did we lose on other fronts? Is the enemy approaching the capital?"
Nian An gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said,
"No, the demon clan has not conquered the Great Wall, and the Western Region has not crossed the Yumen Pass."
"Everyone, I have some very bad news to tell you.
A few days ago, Zhenbei King Han Yun and Princess Anning, Xiao Yuxin, went to the Demonic Land. There, they discovered the Demon Cult and had refined thousands of demon corpses.
Anyone who has been to the Land of Demonic Fall must have an impression of those terrifying tall demonic corpses. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what they look like.
I just want to tell you that Han Yun and Xin'er lost in that battle, and they lost miserably. "
"What? King Zhenbei lost?"
When everyone saw this, they were all shocked.
Whether it was the second rank of Tianshi Mansion, the powerful men of Donglin Academy, or the generals, they were all shocked.
The King of Zhenbei is invincible, how could he lose?
If the King of Zhenbei loses, won't we all die?
"Queen, please tell me in detail."
"Han Yun told us that among the thousands of demon corpses, there were eight first-grade demon corpses, there were probably dozens of second-grade demon corpses, and the rest were nearly a thousand third-grade demon corpses!
In addition, the leader of the Demon Cult is also a first-grade man, and there are also several second-grade men, so this battle is not easy to fight. The emperor asks you to withdraw. "
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked and stood up. King Ning and Wang Biao almost fainted.
Nine first-grade, dozens of second-grade, and thousands of third-grade!
Are you still fighting like this?
With so many strong men here, what kind of army does the Demon Sect need? Demonic corpses alone can sweep the world!
For a moment, everyone in the room who was originally full of confidence turned pale, as if they were mourning for their heirs, and some even collapsed directly to the ground.
Some people died, but not completely...
