After learning that Lingfeng was imprisoned in the capital, Lu An couldn't wait for a moment, and immediately led people south.

However, at the beginning, he and the girl of Qingyan Pavilion followed Lei Jin to support Suizhou as the military camp concubine, and it took half a month to arrive, when Xia Yongchen, the founding emperor of Great Xia, was alive, and the entire Central Plains was unified.

But now, although the states and counties along the route were unable to organize any effective resistance, they did not go as smoothly as the march had been.

On the contrary, it was Chu Yin's side, which was much smoother than Lu An.

Chu Yin led an army of 200,000 and set off directly from Bingzhou, all the way to the front, without any hindrance!

The prefectures and counties that passed, before the arrival of the Chuyin army, opened the city gates early and surrendered.

In only twelve days, Chu Yin led the army to successfully arrive at Xinfeng, an important town one hundred and fifty miles east of Xia Jing!

Xinfeng City was broken, and the news soon spread to the capital, and the Beijing division was shaken.

In the imperial study in the palace, Xia Gang's eyes were bloodshot, and he asked again, "It's not okay yet?" ”

"The ministers are incompetent."

Zhao You, Sun Yue, and Wu Zhongda bowed to the ground.

Alas!

Xia Gang sat weakly on the dragon chair, his expression awkward.

It took more than two months, and a lot of manpower, material and financial resources were used, seeing that Lu An and Chu Yin were about to come to the city, they still couldn't crack the method of making the little black ball!

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been diligent in government and love for the people, diligent and thrifty, and I am bent on cleaning up the mess left by my brother and creating a prosperous era in Great Xia."

"It's a pity that providence makes people!"

"Not only did he not complete the great cause of reunification, but he couldn't keep even the country that my father had worked so hard to build!"

"I, I'm ashamed of my father!"

Zhao You, who was kneeling on the ground, heard that Xia Gang seemed to be desperate, and immediately persuaded bitterly, "Until the last moment, Your Majesty must not give up!" ”

"Don't give up? Hehe! ”

Tears seeped from the corners of Xia Gang's eyes, "What if you don't give up?" ”

"Chuyin's 200,000 troops have been stationed in Xinfeng, and they can come to the city in one day, what resistance do you want to take at that time?"

"Is there a hundred thousand Imperial Forest Army in the capital division?"

"In the face of Lu An's powerful little black ball, how can the Royal Forest Army resist?"

"Or do you rely on the teachers of the kings everywhere?"

"Lu An went all the way north, at least in less than two months, eight or nine out of ten states and counties in the world have offered a letter of surrender, where to find the division of King Qin!"

Zhao You also understands these truths, but he understands one truth even more.

Once Lu An breaks the Jingshi, not only will Xia Gang have no way to live, but he, the Zaifu, will also die!

With a sharp turn of mind, Zhao You persuaded again, "Your Majesty, although the current situation is unfavorable to us, it is not yet the time when there is no chance of victory!" ”

"At least, at least we have three more advantages to take advantage of right now!"

"First, although Chu Yin's army broke Xinfeng, according to observation, after Chu Yin took Xinfeng, he did not continue to advance, but was stationed on the spot and built a large number of buildings, so there will be nothing in a short period of time."

"Second, Lu An's wife and the newborn child are still in the hands of His Majesty, even if Lu An is outside the capital, he will not dare to attack the city easily!"

"Third, although Pu Zhen lost Suizhou and the Black Armor Army also suffered heavy losses, General Pu did not give up, but directly led his troops to Qiuzi."

"According to General Pu, as long as he captures Queen Qiuzi and her children and escorts Jingshi, he can also negotiate with Lu An on this basis."

"I hope that Your Majesty will hold on for some time and patiently wait for the news of General Pu, while the ministers will continue to work day and night during this time, and they will definitely crack the method of making the little black ball!"

Xia Gang shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Zhao Xiang doesn't need to comfort me. ”

"The reason why Chu Yin is stationing troops is to prepare for Lu An to come to the capital, or rather, to welcome the new monarch and build momentum!"

"Once Lu An arrives, the two armies will march together, and I will not open the city and surrender at that time?"

"As for the fact that Lu An's wife and children are in my hands...... Alas! ”

"You shouldn't have listened to Pu Zhen's words and detained Mu Lingfeng in the first place, otherwise you wouldn't have given Lu An an excuse to rebel!"

"One son is wrong, and the whole plate is lost!"

"Even if Lu An was really like the banner he played, just to kill Pu Zhen and save his wife, but now?"

"The entire Central Plains, nine times out of ten, fell into the hands of him Lu An, even if he really didn't want to return to the country before, now that this situation has come, will he give up?"

"The imperial power is supreme, and he is the crown prince of the previous dynasty, will he refuse today?"

"Even if he really has no intention of getting involved in the imperial power, those subordinates who follow him, even if they are hard to lift, will carry him to the dragon chair!"

"Want to gamble with his wife and children? Hehe! ”

"As for the matter of Queen Qiuzi, Pu Zhen really gave me a big problem!"

"The Central Plains is thousands of miles away from Qiuci, even if the Black Armor Army has amazing combat strength and successfully takes Qiuci, it will take at least half a year to come and go, Zhao Xiang, do you think I still have the ability to hold on for so long?"

Zhao You seemed to have grasped the last straw, and nodded again and again, "I will definitely be able to!" ”

"Your Majesty, as long as there is a glimmer of life, you can't give up!"

"If Lu An breaks the city, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty may not be affected, but Lu An will definitely not let His Majesty go, so, no matter what, Your Majesty can't give up easily, take the initiative to give up, and the ministers will do their best to crack the method of the little black ball before Lu An breaks the city!"

Sun Yue and Wu Zhongda also echoed and said, "What Zhao Xiang said is extremely true, Your Majesty must not give up easily." ”

Xia Gang shook his head slowly, "But whenever the dynasty changes, it has always been accompanied by rolling heads and corpses all over the field, I really can't bear to see the people of the world lose their lives because of me alone!" ”

"Your Majesty's mercy is the blessing of the people, even if it is for the people of the world, Your Majesty can't let Lu An's brutal man succeed!"

"The so-called one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, Lu An used the terrible power of the little black ball to kill countless living beings for his own selfishness, which clearly hurts the peace of the world and is despised by the people of the world."

"On the other hand, Your Majesty, benevolent and wise, how can Lu An compare?"

"Lu An relies on the power of the little black ball, although he can do it for a while, but sooner or later he will be punished by God."

"If Your Majesty gives up so easily, won't you ignore the people of the world?"

"The ministers implore Your Majesty to plan for the people of the world, forbear for the time being, and the ministers will do their best to help Your Majesty defend the Great Xia River!"

"That's right, Your Majesty." Wu Zhongda, the secretary of the military department on the side, also said, "Although Lu An can be powerful for a while, as long as His Majesty and his ministers work together, he will win sooner or later!" ”

When Xia Gang heard this, he waved his hand weakly, "The matter has come to this, just follow what Qing and the others said, and go and get busy." ”

"The ministers are leaving."

After Zhao You and the others retreated, Xia Gang got up and walked out of the imperial study, looking at a heavily guarded palace courtyard on the left, "Set up Yong'an Palace." ”
