Tian Zhongxun opened the letter tremblingly.
On it is Tian Bi's neat and timeless handwriting.
"Father, by the time you opened this letter, I had already died on the battlefield. I can only repay your kindness in raising me in my next life. I have much to say about your actions, but the situation compels me, and your will is already made."
When Tian Zhongxun saw the beginning, he burst into tears.
Tian Bi is holding Lishan who is bound to die!
I didn't even think about coming back alive!
"I, your son, cannot dwell on past grudges. However, if my father persecutes the people to secure victory, he will inevitably face repercussions. Jiaodong was once part of Qi, but it was harmed by the Tian royal family. The Tian family's usurpation of Qi was due to their clan connections. However, if you wish to achieve great things, you must not rely on nepotism. This time, the royal family also played a role in the instigation of war."
Ning Que is a man of great resourcefulness, and he's already shifting his focus to attack Gaotang. I know I'm no match for him, but I'm willing to do my best for you, even if it means death. Now that the situation is hopeless, we can only do our best and leave it to fate. I hope you can quickly recognize the situation and let go of your stubbornness. My teacher once said that all rulers are capable of taking on new challenges. Temporary gains and losses prove nothing. Only by living can we have hope!
Tian Zhongxun held the suicide note tightly.
At this moment, tears are streaming down my face.
Finally, he reluctantly put the suicide note into his arms.
Tian Bi was still thinking about him before he died.
The suicide note was rather subtle.
In fact, I just hope he can withdraw his troops.
There are many islands outside the East China Sea.
Tian Zhongxun once had close contacts with merchants from Goguryeo.
Just south of Goguryeo, there is a big island.
It is more than enough for tens of thousands of people to live on.
The island is rich in resources and can even be used for farming.
There is some barbaric life on the island.
Originally under the management of Silla.
Tian Zhongxun still had many ships in his hands.
It is more than enough to retreat to the island with the elite troops.
This was also Tian Bi's advice.
He just didn't say it explicitly.
When the rebellion began, Tian Bi disapproved of it. He believed Ning Que was resourceful and a formidable martial artist. The 30,000 guards under his command were elite soldiers, each capable of fighting ten enemies to his own.
If Gu Yuan could successfully detain Ning Que, or bury him overseas, then they would have a chance of starting the rebellion. But if Ning Que could return alive, they would have no chance at all.
Ning Que has a strong ability to seize opportunities.
There is always an opportunity in the midst of crisis!
However, Tian Zhongxun didn't care about these at all.
He's like a crazy gambler.
Now everything is at stake!
"Pass on the king's order to summon all the generals and staff."
"Your Majesty, we are all here!"
They walked in separately.
Everyone looked gloomy.
After all, no one expected Tian Bi to die in battle.
"What are you all doing with such dejected expressions?!"
"The prince...is dead."
"He's dead, so what?" Tian Zhongxun forced himself to cheer up and shouted angrily, "He may be the crown prince, but he's just a general now. Ning Que has already captured Gaotang, less than 200 miles from Linzi. I don't have many troops left, and it might be too late to send more elite troops."
"Then I won't go!"
"Race against time with him!"
"As long as we break the city tomorrow, he won't have time!"
The lieutenant generals all asked to fight.
"Your Majesty, there is only one way now."
"Capture Linzi City!"
"From Gaotang to Linzi, it's at least two hundred miles. Ning Que has an army of thirty thousand. It will take at least five days to reach Linzi from the start. Excluding the losses suffered by the spies on the way, we only have three days left at most."
"Okay, three days then!"
Tian Zhongxun slapped the sand table with his palm.
"We have been actively preparing siege equipment over the past two days."
"Pass on the king's orders!"
"Three days later, it will be time for the final siege."
"Everyone, from top to bottom, even the craftsmen, must serve me on the battlefield. The older ones will operate the weapons. Once we capture Linzi City, we will not put down our swords for three days. Anyone who fights on the battlefield will be granted a rank of nobility. Even if you die on the battlefield, your title will be inherited by your descendants. If we capture Linzi, everyone will be rewarded! We are in this life-threatening situation. If we fail, everyone will be implicated!"
"promise!"
Everyone raised their hands.
Tian Zhongxun has made his decision.
They have the arrow on the string and have no choice but to shoot.
Yes, they can flee overseas.
But will he be willing?
If he wanted to live in seclusion, there was no need for him to rebel. As long as he obediently followed the orders of Emperor Feng and emulated the Prince of Lu in serving him, everything would be easy. He could then relinquish his power, and Emperor Feng would not do anything to him. He could live a wealthy life for many lifetimes.
Tian Zhongxun looked at the sand table with a firm look in his eyes.
When the Tian family usurped the throne of Qi, it was also very dangerous.
But in the end they succeeded!
Overthrew the royal family of the Jiang surname!
From then on, the Tian family controlled Qi.
It has been run very well for hundreds of years.
Similarly, Tian Zhongxun also wanted to do something!
He wants to overthrow Dafeng and become emperor!
Then this is the only chance!
…
…
"Brothers, let's go!"
"We don't have enough time now, we have to speed up!"
"So we have to travel day and night, resting only four hours a day. The rest of the time we have to travel, and eat three meals a day on the road!"
"yes!"
The iron ox rode on a fine horse.
The soldiers behind him were all jogging.
The guards rushed to the front.
Behind him were the reorganized surrendered soldiers.
