Chapter 165: The End of the Road

Late that night, after the collapse of Ho Lie Mountain, a temporary gold-topped tent was erected.

Ye Huan sat on a yellow animal skin chair, his eyes squinted, and his mind was still recalling what Chu Ya had said during the day.

Be a man like Cao Mengde...... Ha, Chu Ya regards himself as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and wants to hold himself hostage and order the princes of the world!

Maybe a few decades later, his son Truman will follow Cao Pi's example, depose himself as the pope, and let the Heavenly Father Sect have the surname Chu from now on?

Lady Elizabeth, several elders, and members of the Supreme Council sat around Ye Huan, discussing the matter of moving the capital, and when it came to the scene of agreeing to move the capital during the day, Lady Elizabeth opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, there was only one sigh left, "It's not as good as people, so I have to do it as a last resort!"

"Yaga!"

At this moment, Oda Gen strode in, and after the Pope died in battle, he had been presiding over the funeral, and only then did he know the news that the Holy See was about to move the capital. After entering the door, he said angrily: "Elizabeth Prison Master, although the first emperor was killed in battle, although He Lieshan was also destroyed, but when the first emperor duel with that woman, the main force of the Heavenly Father's legion, as well as the garrisons around He Lieshan, also rushed over, and now these troops are here, we still have the strength to fight, why do we still bow to Chu Ya!"

"Elder José, show Congressman Oda the damage report!" Elizabeth commanded with a blank expression.

An elder immediately picked up a parchment scroll from the table and unfolded it in front of Oda Xuan's eyes, "Councilor Oda, look for yourself, He Lieshan catastrophe, our army has indeed not hurt its vitality, but the key is that the Golden Dome of Salvation has been destroyed, the God of War Pavilion has been destroyed, and now the morale of these soldiers has dropped to the lowest point, the soldiers whose faith has collapsed, can the hundreds of thousands of troops who have fought past Chu Ya's soldiers? You also once commanded the army, you should know how incompetent our soldiers will be in this situation!"

He sighed again, "And you don't know it yet, right? The God-given warehouse under the God of War Pavilion has also been destroyed, and there is not a single trace of the grain and grass materials that our Central Holy See has accumulated for hundreds of years -- now the army only has three days' rations left with them! For three days, just rush such a little thing, why do you let the soldiers sell their lives!? I'm afraid that once the war starts, our soldiers will mutiny!"

"God-given Okura is gone......" Oda Xuan gritted his teeth, "That's the case, I have nothing to say about moving the capital, but our Supreme Council can go, His Royal Highness Ye Huan must not go, if he goes, it will be a sheep in the tiger's mouth, and he will never be able to get out again!"

"We also know that we can't let His Highness go down, but the hundreds of thousands of troops in Chuya have already surrounded this place, whether to go or not, is it His Highness who has the final say with us?!" the elder asked rhetorically.

"Then can't you think of a way?" Oda Gen couldn't come up with a way himself, so he could only snort stupidly, "A group of cowards who can only sit and sigh, including me, Oda Gen!"

In the quarrel of these councilors, Ye Huan's mood was also confused.

It is a good thing to have the opportunity to be the emperor, but the emperor is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, to the point of the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, shining through the ages, and the natural scenery is infinite, but if it is achieved in the realm of Han Xian Sui Yang, it is also a laughing stock for all generations, and thousands of years after death, he will be pointed at the grave and scolded for being incompetent!

Do you really want to be a puppet!?

Thinking about Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty after being captured by Cao Mengde, and then thinking about Chu Ya's arrogance when he said that the Son of Heaven ordered the princes today, Ye Huan shuddered!

You must not go with him, let alone continue to preach, I am afraid that my life and safety will not be guaranteed!

Thinking of this, Ye Huan subconsciously walked to the door, opened the curtain...... "Your Highness!"

The deafening roar suddenly sounded, and Ye Huan saw it, there were at least 10,000 troops guarding the tent densely, all of them were red armor, red cloaks, and the military flag erected high had the word 'Chu' written on it. At this moment, although these troops were all kneeling at Ye Huan's feet, seemingly humbly worshipping the future emperor, there was no trace of respect in their eyes, some were just indifferent, curious, and a trace of contempt!

"Your Highness, where are you going?" The general who led the team outside the door was none other than Truman.

"It's stuffy, go out for a walk!" Ye Huan said with a smile.

"Since the weather makes His Highness uncomfortable, come here, open a few more windows for His Highness in the tent, and come with four more handmaidens with fans!" Truman ordered, and finally smiled and said: "Your Highness, everything has been arranged for you, you don't need to go out for a walk!"

Don't you even have the right to get out of the tent? Ye Huan snorted half-jokingly and half-seriously, wanting to say something reprimanding, but before he could speak, he suddenly saw a strange picture again.

Not far away, the soldiers who originally belonged to the Central Holy See were walking into the camp of the Far Eastern Army, only to see that inside the camp, Chu Yazheng was talking to these soldiers with a concerned expression, and at the same time, his generals and leaders brought a large cart of food and wine, which was being distributed to these soldiers!

"The God-given camp was destroyed, and the soldiers were left with only three rations......"

Thinking of what the elder had just said, Ye Huan was terrified!

Truman smiled coldly beside him, "What is Your Highness looking at?Oh, are you wondering why your soldiers entered our camp in the Far East?" He sneered coldly, "It seems that His Highness doesn't know much about military affairs, since ancient times, generals have commanded soldiers, relying on nothing more than the word 'Enwei', His Highness's God-given Warehouse has been destroyed, and he can't afford to raise so many soldiers, so please ask Your Highness for approval, and our Far East will replace Your Highness to appease the soldiers!"

If you have milk, you are a mother, if these soldiers eat the food of the Chu family, they will naturally obey Chu Ya's orders!

The prestige is not as good as the people, the strength is not as good as the people, and now even his own soldiers are going to be swallowed up by others! Ye Huan's scalp was numb for a while, and he only felt that the future Far East was a monster with a bloody mouth, and he could only jump into it, and he would be chewed and torn, and then slowly digested...... What's even more terrifying is that Chu Ya walked over after pacifying most of the soldiers, laughed and arched his hand, "Your Highness, the Chu family is fortunate to have not disgraced their lives, and has already appeased the Heavenly Father Army, without further ado, please follow me on the road immediately and rush to the Far East!"

"Let's go now?" Ye Huan said in surprise: "Chu Hongyi, it's early in the morning!"

Chu Ya's smile was still so hearty, but the words he said were unquestionable, "The Holy See moves the capital, naturally the sooner the better, haha, what is the night? There is a bright moon in the sky, and the moon god will bless us!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand violently!

It turned out that there were soldiers next to him who had already prepared the carriage and horses, and dozens of majestic men rushed over, and pushed Ye Huan into the carriage without saying anything. Ye Huan snorted heavily, and was about to speak, but Chu Ya no longer paid attention to this future pope who had no prestige, no strength, and could not speak the same as himself at all. He lifted the curtain of the golden-roofed door and beckoned Lady Elizabeth inside!

The current Ye Huan is not taken seriously by Chu Ya at all!

"Prison Master, and all the members of the Supreme Council!" Chu Ya laughed and said, "Everything is ready, Your Highness has also gotten into the car, please move the capital immediately!"

Elizabeth sat still, looking like she wanted to make a final resistance!

But Chu Ya followed with a pat on the head, "Oh, look at my brain, negligent, negligent, the Supreme Council is the supreme power of the Holy See after the death of the emperor, I am a small cardinal metropolitan major, where can I invite a few speakers!"

"Chu Ya is rude, and I ask the Supreme Council to forgive me!" said that, Chu Ya knelt down and pleaded guilty.

But at this time, several generals of the Heavenly Father's legion came to Chu Ya's back, knelt down together, and took Chu Ya's words and said: "Chu Hongyi is right, a red-clothed metropolitan presiding over the major event of moving the Holy See's capital, I'm afraid that the local bishops will not be convinced, so we discussed it with several legions, and implored the Supreme Council to invite Chu Hongyi to join the parliament and temporarily join Lady Elizabeth as the Grand Speaker!"

"You, you!" the parliamentarians' voices trembled, you know, these generals are from the Heavenly Father's legion, and they are still loyal to the former Emperor Reinhardt until today!

In just one day, they were co-opted by Chu Ya and turned against them!

"Please take a position in Chu Hongyi!"

"Please take a position in Chu Hongyi!"

The soldiers under the command of these generals, there were more than 100,000 people, and at this moment they knelt down and shouted.

What else can the Supreme Council say?

"Alas, since it is the desire of the people, Chu Ya, enter the Supreme Council and assume the position of Speaker of the Supreme Council!"

...... The troops of the Far East took a boat from the South China Sea and turned to the inland river to come to the foot of Holie Mountain, and this time the capital was naturally moved by this route. After establishing the position of the Supreme Speaker, Chu Ya immediately personally escorted, or rather escorted Ye Huan, to the Bishui Lake, eight hundred miles south of He Lie Mountain.

The sky was overcast, and dozens of ironclad warships were already moored on the blue waves, and the largest one had a huge chimney installed on it, which was bubbling black smoke.

It wasn't until the soldiers began to board the ship that Ye Huan knew how powerful the Chu family really was.

An ironclad ship can probably accommodate 2,000 people, or more than 2,000 troops, Ye Huan counted them, a total of fifty ironclad ships, and when fully loaded, it would be a full 100,000 troops! Moreover, after a large number of soldiers boarded the ship one after another, there were some former Heavenly Father Sect soldiers who had just joined the Chu family and did not have a ship, so Chu Ya gave an order and let these soldiers march along the banks of the inland river...... The dense army, the strings of torches, and the long dragon lit up turned out to be longer than the willow trees that stretched for hundreds of miles on the banks of the river!

This is just the advance army urgently dispatched by the Chu family, and it is also a waterway that they are not good at, if it is in the Far East, on the plain that is most suitable for the Red Reserve Iron Cavalry to play, how huge will the military power of the Chu family be!?

No wonder Lady Elizabeth has nothing to do with Chu Ya!

"Lu Xiu, he said, can you train such an iron army for me?" Ye Huan suddenly thought of his knight leader.

"What is Your Highness looking at?"

The last group of soldiers set off, Chu Ya also walked back to Ye Huan's side, and noticed that Ye Huan's gaze stayed on the ironclad battleship, and he laughed and said: "Your Highness is looking at the ironclad ship of the Zhou family?" Haha, yes, the Zhou family is worthy of being one of the strongest naval forces after the cataclysm, in just fifty years, they have already built steam turbines, and even I heard that they are already secretly studying battleships, and after ten years, maybe they will be able to reproduce the glory of the heavy guns of the big ships in the Age of Discovery!"

Speaking of this, Chu Ya suddenly pointed at his soldiers, "The Zhou family's naval army is indeed very strong, but how does Your Highness view my Chu family's land soldiers?"

Ye Huan laughed dryly.

In the past, in film and television dramas, there were often scenes of puppet emperors being asked about the strength of the troops in front of the ministers, and at that time, Ye Huan only had two words in his heart - dog blood! But today's incident happened to him, and he knew the bitterness and helplessness of those puppet emperors, as well as the grievances of being played by the ministers between applause! Sighing, Ye Huan said dryly: "The army of the speaker is naturally very strong!"

"Oh?" Chu Ya raised his eyebrows, "Then in the eyes of His Highness, is the Zhou family's navy strong, or my Chu family's army!?"

Ye Huan couldn't answer.

Chu Ya laughed, "Your Highness doesn't understand military affairs, and it's nothing if you can't answer, but!" he accentuated his tone, "I can give His Highness a hint, please think about it, the Zhou family has such a powerful fleet, why didn't they come to He Lie Mountain this time?"

"Is it being delayed by something more important?"

"No!"

Chuxiong Chuya looked at the blue waves in front of him, thousands of troops and horses, and said solemnly: "That's because they don't dare!" Because they know that the Zhou family is strong on the water, but on land, my Chu family's red iron cavalry is the king, and I Chuya don't want to see their navy go ashore, so they don't dare to go ashore!"

Arrogant!

Leaving this aggressive question and answer to Ye Huan, Chu Ya laughed and walked into the cabin, and instructed the soldiers beside him: "Hehe, send His Highness to the inner cabin to rest, in a month, we can arrive in the Far East......!" His Royal Highness is also from Yanhuang, should know the story of An Le Gong, right?"

"Anchor !!"

With a shout from the captain, the engines of the neat ironclad ship 'rumbled' and sailed towards the Far East, which is full of unknowns...... But...... Knowing that he will be a puppet for a lifetime, will Ye Huan honestly go on the road?

"An Le Gong, ha, this is to warn me to be honest, to be his puppet with peace of mind, and I can live the rest of my life safely, but if I am not honest, I will die a miserable death?" Ye Huan pursed his lips, honestly boarded the ship with the soldiers, and was placed under house arrest in the lowest cabin. However, as the soldiers explained the use of some of the ship's items and bowed out, the corners of his mouth drew a smug smile.

"Chu Ya, you came too fast and left too early, you haven't found out the true occupation of your Highness yet, right?"

As he spoke, Ye Huan avoided the sight of the soldiers outside the window and opened the package he was carrying......
