Chapter 2034: The Finale
“That’s right! The Crown Prince is well-versed in both literature and martial arts, knowledgeable, intelligent, and quick-witted. This is more than enough to be used on the battlefield!”
“The Crown Prince is wise!”
“The Crown Prince is wise!”
The Crown Prince was the future monarch. This was already a fact that was set in stone, except for some unexpected circumstances that they did not know about.
Therefore, they were now praising the Crown Prince and flattering him to gain his favour. Perhaps they would become the favorite ministers of the next monarch.
The Emperor listened to these officials. They were originally praising the Great General, but at some point, they started to praise the Crown Prince. This made him slightly unhappy and uncomfortable.
No matter who the emperor was, the old emperor was still fine, but the courtiers had already started to favour his son over him.
Eunuch Zhang was very good at reading people’s expressions.
Seeing the Emperor’s dissatisfaction, he immediately understood.
However, in this court, he had no right to interrupt, so he could only be secretly anxious.
..
At the same time, when Xiao Jingrui received the report from his subordinates that the 400,000 troops of the Black Cloud Kingdom and the 200,000 troops of the Aduo Chai Kingdom had been beheaded and completely annihilated, he was extremely shocked and incredulous.
After all, Jiang Zhennan only had 300,000 soldiers, while their two countries had already reached 600,000.
If they lost the first battle because they had underestimated their opponent, they would have lost 50,000.
But in the second battle, Wei Jinshan and Alianna had 600,000 troops, so why had they lost?
What happened in between?
He had lost!
He actually lost!
Xiao Jingrui locked himself in the study for the whole day.
When he came out of the study, he received a report from his subordinate. Jiang Zhennan had led the Jiang family’s army across the border and had already taken down three cities of the Black Clouds Kingdom!
Xiao Jingrui was furious. He shouted angrily,” They have already captured three cities of our country. Why didn’t you report it earlier?”
He had been hunting eagles all year round, but he had actually been pecked in the eye by an eagle!
He had always thought that the ambition of the Black Clouds Country was to unify the world.
However, Guo Bing said worriedly,” But Boss, this move of his is not bad. What should we do now?”
Jiang Zhennan said mockingly,” Since he has already taken the drastic measure, then let’s make him regret it!”
Guo Bing widened his eyes and asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”
Jiang Zhennan said coldly,” Attack their Imperial City directly!”
After listening to Jiang Zhennan’s words, Guo Bing instantly reacted.
He laughed,” Haha, Xiao Jingrui never dreamed that you would do this, right?”
Xiao Jingrui had led a million troops here, so the troops guarding the Imperial City must be very weak, and the defence must be even weaker.
It was indeed the best time to attack the Imperial City of the Black Clouds Kingdom.
Xiao Jingrui should not have thought that on his way to find the Jiang Army, the Jiang Army would directly go to their nest.
Jiang Zhennan said sternly,” Military Advisor, listen up. You will lead 150,000 troops to attack the Imperial City of Black Clouds Country!”
Guo Bing immediately said seriously,” Yes, Great General. Your subordinate will listen to your orders!”
Looking at Guo Bing’s back, Jiang Zhennan could not help but clench his fists.
The next battle was the real battle!
He and Xiao Jingrui must fight to the death. Oh, no, Xiao Jingrui must die. Otherwise, their family would never live in peace.
“Report!”
While Xiao Jingrui was resting, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates.
Xiao Jingrui’s face was livid. His sharp eyes stared at the subordinate who came to report and asked coldly,” What did you say? Say it again!”
The subordinate said in fear,” Your Majesty, the Imperial City has sent a letter saying that 150,000 troops are heading towards the Imperial City. They are only 20 miles away from the Imperial City. According to the information he received, those 150,000 soldiers are the Jiang Army!”
“Bang!” Xiao Jingrui was so angry that he directly overturned the table and shouted, “Damn it! Jiang Zhennan! Do you think that you can achieve your goal of invading the Black Clouds Country by taking down the Imperial City? You must be dreaming!”
They were already close to the three cities that the Jiang Army had invaded, but now they were told that Jiang Zhennan had already sent troops to their Imperial City.
With that thought in mind, he raised his head and swept his sharp eyes across the crowd. He immediately ordered,” Set off immediately. We must arrive at Chiyang City tomorrow at noon. We must rest and take down the Jiang Clan’s army immediately. When we return to the Imperial City, we will kill all the invaders!”
“Yes, general!”
Xiao Jingrui sneered,” Jiang Zhennan, let’s see how you can defeat my million strong army with just 150,000?”
However, what Xiao Jingrui never expected was that Jiang Zhennan really defeated his million soldiers with just 100,000 soldiers!
