In the imperial city of ancient Zhao State.

When the people knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daqian State actually led troops to surround the imperial city of their ancient Zhao State.

Everyone was panicking, and many people even took their families with them and wanted to make a big escape.

However, it was impossible for them to leave at this time. The city gate had been surrounded by soldiers from the Daqian Kingdom.

They can only be trapped in the city.

For a time, the entire imperial city was in panic, but at this time, there was a rumor in the palace that Daqian's army was nothing more than this.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, the people's hearts are a little more settled.

At this time, Zhao Hao also came down from the city wall.

Although he had the courage to fight with the soldiers, he did not have the courage to die.

The army brought by Qin Feng was vast, and the number was simply too large.

He looked a little dizzy, so he decided to go back to the palace and wait until the situation on the front line was better.

Moreover, as the emperor, he stayed on the city wall, and many soldiers felt uncomfortable.

The generals always came over to ask for his instructions, which annoyed him.

After he left, the sound of siege sounded outside the city.

Expedition to the General's Mansion, the ancient general wore armor and went directly to the city wall with a few followers.

He arrived just in time, and Qin Feng's army pressed forward in a mighty manner.

Zhamuhan, who was responsible for guarding the city, was a little nervous. Although he was also a general, he was only responsible for the emperor's safety.

Now that he was temporarily entrusted to defend the city, he was really stretched.

The commander was also in a hurry. When he saw General Gu coming, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately handed over the command to him.

General Gu was not polite at all and directly took over his command.

Orders began to be issued one after another, and soon all the soldiers became orderly.

They kept overturning the engineering ladders and throwing stones at the bottom of the city wall.

Even the archers were ready and kept firing arrows.

Soon, Qin Feng's army was repelled, leaving corpses on the ground.

"Hahaha, that's all!"

Zhamuhan was also a little confused. He didn't expect Daqian's army to be so fragile.

The army they met when they were crossing the river was very brave and killed them to pieces.

They also gathered all their troops who came to support them on the road.

But why does it look like a soft-footed shrimp now? I can't help but fight.

"Ancient General, what should we do next?"

"I'm going to open the city gate and rush out and kill them all."

Zamuhan already felt a little itchy in his heart when he looked at the imperial soldiers retreating.

I wish I could rush out and intercept them now.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

"Young people, from now on, the world of our ancient Zhao country will be handed over to you. You must not be so anxious."

"In this case, you should prepare immediately and have the 20,000 cavalry in the city ready to attack the camp tonight."

The ancient general gave Zamuhan an order, then turned and left.

He was going to the palace now to ask the third prince carefully what was going on with the army of Da Qian Kingdom?

Zhamuhan didn't stop him when he saw him leaving.

But I was a little excited, looking forward to tonight's action.

In the palace.

Zhao Hao sat in a wheelchair and looked at the courtiers in the palace.

"Your Majesty, we still have at least nearly 100,000 troops in the imperial city."

"With so many soldiers here, why should we be afraid of a Daqian Crown Prince?"

It was no secret that Tuohamu went to Wei Guo to discuss cooperation.

The courtiers soon heard this, so they immediately ran over to ask Zhao Hao to take back his orders.

"Yes! Your Majesty, these Wei people are all wolf cubs."

"Cooperating with them is equivalent to seeking the skin of a tiger. We still have nearly a hundred thousand troops, why not fight to the death with the Daqian Kingdom?"

All the generals immediately stood up and asked for a fight.

Although the civil servants were uncomfortable with these barbarians being in the limelight, they did not dare to say anything at this time.

They did not dare to talk nonsense when the enemy was present, lest they be accused of collaborating with the enemy.

At this moment, the voice of the messenger came from the door.

"Report...a great victory!"

"Our army retreated greatly from the army of Daqian State. General Gu personally went into battle and faced off against the Mao Tou Er. We won a great victory!"

As soon as they heard that General Gu actually went into battle in person, everyone's hearts dropped.

However, new problems emerged.

Why did the army of Daqian Kingdom suddenly come to their ancient Zhao Kingdom's imperial city?

The speed was so fast that they were not expecting it, and I seemed to appear suddenly.

And at this moment General Gu came.

"Zhao Hao!"

"Please explain, what is going on?"

"Where is my old king of ancient Zhao country?"

"Could it be that he was killed by soldiers from the Daqian Kingdom?"

If in normal times, when faced with General Gu's doubts like this, others would definitely stand up and scold him severely.

Those civil servants even took the initiative and vowed not to give up until they beat this old guy into the dirt.

But now they all have to rely on this ancient general to survive, so no one dares to attack him.

What's more, they really don't understand Zhao Hao's sudden rise to power, and they are even more interested in the unknown whereabouts of the old emperor.

Therefore, no one questioned General Gu's words, and no one came out to stop him.

Everyone looked at Zhao Hao silently, waiting for his explanation.

Zhao Hao looked at the civil servants and generals below with a livid expression. He wished he could dig out all the eighteen generations of their ancestors, expose them to the sun, and scold them.

Ask them, what kind of people are they really?

In the face of a powerful enemy, they did not want to unite and fight the enemy together, but they dared to question him as the emperor!

Now looking at their scrutinizing eyes, Zhao Hao felt a little unable to step down. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and explain all the causes and consequences.

Then he stared hard at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Although my throne was not inherited from my father, I am the only one who can sit on this throne now."

"Anyone who dares to disobey will stand up."

Everyone became quiet now. Although they still had some doubts in their hearts, after knowing the truth, they did not dare to ask any more questions.

Just kidding, this is the only prince who can take over the throne now.

Although others can do it, they really can't fight among themselves when the enemy is at the moment.

"Your Highness, I am not convinced!"

The ancient general looked at Zhao Hao with disdain, his face full of ridicule.

"The national power of the Daqian Kingdom is already weak, and it is nothing compared to our ancient Zhao Kingdom."

"The prince you are talking about is just a useless scholar."

"How could he fly several miles and kill the great emperor?"
