"Estes defeated? That's impossible! ”

In the imperial capital, the news from the remnants of Estes has been delivered, but for this matter, it is obvious that everyone in the court does not believe it very much, not only the little emperor and Minister Earnest, but even the great general Bude, because this is too incredible.

"How could the invincible General Estes be defeated by a bunch of peasant rebels?! What the hell is going on?! You make it clear for me! What the hell is going on?! ”

This time Minister Earnest was really a little flustered, this matter was really a bit beyond his expectations, he never dreamed that Estes would be defeated by these peasant rebels, this is unreasonable!

"Your Majesty, there is a powerful man among the enemy, who alone defeated the three imperial envoys and wiped out our vanguard army, and because he was afraid that we would all suffer heavy losses, General Estes made us camp in place and go alone to deal with him.

But the aftermath of their battle still caused us heavy losses, we had to evacuate first, and the imperial capital should have been affected by the terrible aftermath, the fierceness of the battle was unpredictable, and Lord Estes has not returned until now, but those rebels have advanced further and reoccupied the entire northern territory. ”

The messenger of the remnants of Estes who had come to report to the little emperor and the minister Ernest was Lan in the organization, and at this time one of his arms was hanging in a bandage, obviously not fully recovered from his injuries.

However, because of the emperor's strength, he is still the most suitable person to come to the imperial capital to deliver the news, after all, the soldier is fast, and there is no way to worry about his injury at this time.

"It turns out that that terrifying weather vision was actually produced when Estes was fighting the enemy? Is it really that scary? This is also an exaggeration! ”

For Lan's words, the ministers couldn't help but shudder, when the terrifying weather vision reached the imperial capital, it really scared them a lot, and now after knowing the truth behind the change in heaven and earth, these mortals are even more frightened.

"So you mean, was Estes Qing defeated and killed by that man?"

The little emperor's face is not very good-looking, after all, Estes's Northern Route Army will fail, and it will be such a complete rout, and even Estes himself may have died on the battlefield, which is a very huge blow to the entire empire, and this will completely overturn all the arrangements they made before, so that the entire empire will fall into the upper hand in this battle.

"I can't be completely sure, but General Estes ...... It should already be more than lucky. ”

There was no surprise in Lan's answer, everyone knew this answer, after all, if Estes was still alive, then she would definitely not let those rebels march so arrogantly, and it was already obvious.

"Now is not the time to mourn for General Estes, Your Majesty, we must make a decision as soon as possible, and when the rebels in the north and the rebels in the south converge here in the imperial capital, then we will be attacked by the enemy and fall into passivity.

And if the strength of the person who killed Estes is really that strong, then the end general may only be able to concentrate on dealing with that person, and the end will definitely have no time to take care of other things. ”

At this time, he was able to maintain absolute sanity, which was naturally the other one in the "Imperial Twin Walls".

Although General Bude was also very surprised by the defeat of Estes, "victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers", and the battlefield itself must be prepared for the "return of the horse leather shroud", everyone is already dead, and it is naturally meaningless to dwell on that kind of thing at this time.

"That's right! Bu Deqing is right, what strategy do you have, although let's discuss it together. ”

General Bude's words undoubtedly grasped the initiative above the court, and the little emperor suddenly seemed to have found the backbone, which made the minister Ornest, who was also panicking next to him, suddenly sober up, and he looked at General Bude very vigilantly.

"The last general thinks that we should take the initiative to attack, use the elite troops to defeat the southern rebels on the edge of the city first, and then wait for the arrival of the northern rebels at leisure, if we can defeat these southern rabble first, then the last general can also concentrate on fighting that person."

General Bude's suggestion was still very pertinent, and he also made a certain compromise, not saying that after annihilating the rebels in the south, he would immediately go north to regain lost territory and face the rebels in the north, he knew that the little emperor needed some security now.

"Yes, Bu Deqing said it very well, minister, what do you think? Is there anything better to do it? If not, then let's follow Bu Deqing's method. ”

The little emperor expressed his agreement with Bud's plan, but then he looked at Minister Earnest, although Minister Earnest did not stand up to solve the problem at the first time, but the little emperor still respected his opinion very much, he had formed such a habit.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these rabble on the edge of the city are not to be feared, they can't pose any threat to the imperial capital at all, instead of letting General Bude fight with them here, it is better to directly let General Bude go north and directly stop those rebels in the north, if you can take advantage of the situation to defeat the chieftain, it is naturally better, and you can also avenge General Estes."

The minister Earnest stood up decisively and began to disagree with General Bude, he couldn't let this man take the initiative, and he couldn't let the little emperor start to rely on Bude, that was a threat to his position.

"But what about the southern rebels under the city, minister? You can't just leave them alone, can you? What if they start a siege in desperation? There seem to be many emperors among them. ”

The little emperor's appearance was obviously a little embarrassed, and his reason told him that it was obviously General Bude's advice that was more reliable, but his habit told him that it was best to follow the advice of the minister Ornest, which made him a little dilemma for a while, so he could only ask the minister Ornest his own questions.

"Your Majesty, it's up to you to turn the tide at this time."

The minister Earnest naturally thought of this, he was very smart at this time, he immediately came to the little emperor's side, lay in the little emperor's ear, and began to whisper openly to the little emperor above the court, without putting the ministers in his eyes at all.

"If General Bude defeats the rebels in the south here in the imperial capital, then he, who is already very prestigious, will further gain the love of the people of the imperial capital, and even the gratitude of the ministers, which is very unfavorable to Your Majesty, what if he rebels? And if Your Majesty personally defeated the rebels, then the worship of the people of the imperial capital and the gratitude of the ministers will be for Your Majesty. ”

The whispering words of the minister Earnest completely captured the heart of the little emperor, and he felt that although it was very unreliable for General Bude to rebel, he could turn the tide by himself, get the love and reverence of the people, and get the gratitude of the ministers, which was something he dreamed of.

"Really? Minister? Can I use that Imperial Apparatus? ”

The little emperor's eyes began to twinkle, after all, he was still a child, and in the face of such an opportunity to become a hero of the entire empire, of course he didn't want to miss it, his dream was to become a great emperor like the first emperor and lead the empire to be great again.

"Of course you can, my majesty, you can do it as long as you want, you are the emperor, you are the master of this empire, if you want to become an imperial hero, you can naturally become it."

I have to say that Minister Earnest's grasp of the psychology of the little emperor is indeed very accurate, which makes the already pedantic General Bude have no way to deal with him.

And the ministers who originally thought that General Bud was finally going to win back a city, seeing that Minister Ernest had once again regained his dominance, he could only sigh silently in his heart.

"That's too dangerous! Your Majesty! ”

Seeing that his plan was rejected, General Bude was very angry, he was not angry because the dominant power was snatched back, he was purely from a military point of view, and considering the safety of the little emperor, so he felt very angry, he felt that the little emperor did not need to risk his life, there was no problem to implement it directly according to his method, and there was no need to do it at all.

"Shut up! Bud! Your Majesty has given an order to immediately pack up your things and take your people to the north to quell the rebellion, do you still want to disobey the order? You have to be careful, Bud, but don't die in the north. ”

Minister Ernest directly stood up and scolded General Bude, the threat in his words was already overflowing, if it was for Estes here, he would never dare to do this, but for Bude, he could pull the tiger skin of the little emperor to suppress him wantonly.

"The last general commands!"

Although Bude was very angry, he still didn't say anything more, just said respectfully to the little emperor who felt a little guilty, the little emperor nodded, comforted Bude a few words, and then directly let him lead the troops to set off, which made Bude even more uncomfortable.

However, General Bude was not discouraged, he immediately ordered his troops to set off to the north, according to his idea, as long as he could quickly put down the rebellion in the north, then he might be able to come back before the little emperor made a move, so that the minister would have no reason to transfer him again.
