Originally, several generations of the Wucheng Palace led the Golden Armor Army to guard the border between Daliang and Dajin, although there were constant frictions and wars between the two sides.
However, the Jinjia Army led by King Wucheng never retreated a single step, even though the previous King Wucheng died in battle and the previous King Wucheng was seriously injured. Gu Yanming was also seriously injured in the battle with the Great Jin.
However, Emperor Gu Zhenting was afraid of the Wucheng Palace, so he exiled them. He also disbanded the Golden Armored Army that had guarded the border for generations and threw them into various remote places, hoping that they would fend for themselves.
The army of the Great Jin Dynasty has always been there, preparing for battle and getting ready.
Comparing the two, the difference is obvious.
At this time, the Jin army suddenly attacked, without the Jin armored army to stop them, and they were unstoppable all the way.
By the time the emperor and King Wensheng received the news, the Jin army was already approaching the city.
King Wensheng, who almost broke open the city gate, was so angry that he fell backwards.
This is a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
If one thing goes wrong, he and the emperor will be killed together!
In the central army tent of King Wensheng, King Wensheng sat in the center of the tent. On both sides were his generals, all of whom were worried about the sudden attack of the Jin army.
Originally, the emperor's reputation was bad, which was good for them. As long as they kept attacking, the city gate would be opened one day. At that time, they would capture the emperor, make him confess his sins, and then abdicate and let others take over.
But now, with the Jin coming, everything is different! The entire nature and position have changed. If they insist on attacking Yanjing City and the emperor, they will ignore the foreign enemy and stir up internal strife.
King Wensheng's reputation also fell into disrepute along with Gu Zhenting.
Moreover, they had gone to great lengths to capture the city of Yanjing, and their soldiers and horses were exhausted. If the Jin Dynasty launched another surprise attack, their losses would outweigh their gains.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? The Jin army is only one city away from Yanjing!" A deputy general named Wang reported hurriedly. "Should we continue to attack Yanjing, or attack the Jin army?"
"If we attack Yanjing City now and ignore the foreign enemies, then even though we were originally in the right, we will no longer be in the right!" sighed a general named Zhang.
Another general surnamed Huang also echoed, "Yes, if you ignore the outside world and fight to the death with the emperor, people in the world will think that you are not doing this for the greater good! But for personal gain! They will think that you are crazy about becoming the emperor! You have abandoned Yanjing City and the people in the north."
"But we have been fighting the emperor's army for so long and have suffered many casualties, and we don't have enough food and grass. Now we are facing the powerful Jin Dynasty with abundant food and grass. It's like hitting a rock with an egg!" A deputy general named Li was dissatisfied.
"Yes, this is a good thing for the emperor. We have blocked the emperor's sword and suffered heavy losses. We are no match for the emperor! The emperor can destroy us with the help of the Jin Dynasty."
King Wensheng had a headache after hearing this and asked, "Is there no better solution? Can we retreat and let the Great Jin fight the emperor?"
"No way! Then let's just desert the battlefield!" someone said.
"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work! What should I do then?"
King Wensheng was very angry, and his good mood disappeared. He couldn't lose his temper with his generals. He was very depressed.
Suddenly a soldier reported.
"Your Majesty, there is a man named Mr. Nanhua who wants to see you!"
When King Wensheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Please come in! Don't be slow!"
Mr. Nanhua is very resourceful and will definitely be able to help us find a solution!
He looked at the others and said, "Everyone, please leave! We'll discuss this later!"
Everyone nodded, stood up and walked out.
As the generals walked out, they happened to meet Shangguan Yanli, who was dressed in men's clothes.
Shangguan Yanli smiled and nodded to several generals as a greeting.
The generals saw that it was a fair-skinned and handsome young man, and they were all suspicious of his origins. They all speculated why the prince was so enthusiastic about this man. Could he be some powerful person?
After everyone had left, Shangguan Yanli bowed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Quick, no need to be polite!" King Wensheng's face was full of eagerness. He personally stepped forward to help her up. He then instructed the people outside. "Quick! Bring tea! And some snacks."
"Mr. Nanhua, please take a seat!" King Wensheng asked Shangguan Yanli to sit in the seat closest to his left.
In ancient times, people respected the left, and King Wensheng made such arrangements to show his attitude.
Shangguan Yanli did not refuse and sat down in the chair calmly.
"I wonder what brings you here suddenly, Mr. Nanhua?" King Wensheng asked curiously.
"Of course, it is to help the prince solve his current predicament!" Shangguan Yanli said lightly.
"Oh," King Wensheng raised his eyebrows and pretended not to know, "What dilemma do I have?"
Shangguan Yanli curled her lips and smiled, "Your Highness, doesn't the prince know it himself? Of course, if my guess is wrong, just pretend that I have not been here today!" After saying that, she stood up and was about to walk out!
King Wensheng was shocked and rushed forward to stop him.
"No, no, no, Mr. Nanhua, you misunderstood! That's not what I meant!"
Shangguan Yanli stopped and looked at him.
King Wensheng sighed helplessly, asked her to sit down, and then told her about his current predicament.
Shangguan Yanli raised an eyebrow, "How difficult is this? Just continue attacking the city!"
"This! Wouldn't that make people all over the world say that I don't care about foreign enemies?" King Wensheng frowned in confusion. He wanted to be an emperor, but he didn't want to be an emperor who would be criticized. He didn't want to leave behind an ignominious history and be criticized by future generations.
Shangguan Yanli sneered, they are all the same, they will do anything to gain power, but they have to find a fig leaf to cover it up. Some are like a whore who still pretends to be a saint!
"Since the emperor could collude with the Jin Dynasty and frame King Wucheng, the late emperor could also sell out the border defense map." Shangguan Yanli paused and continued.
"Who says that this time, the emperor is not using the same old tricks again and colluding with the Jin Dynasty to deal with the prince?
Otherwise, how could the Jin Dynasty reach Yanjing City so quickly? Even if the Jinjia Army is gone, are the other generals dead?"
King Wensheng was stunned. He had never thought about this. When he thought about it, if it was really his brother colluding with the Jin Dynasty to attack him, his eyes would be filled with anger.
After all, they were fighting behind closed doors. But his brother colluded with foreign enemies, which was considered treason even for the emperor.
Shangguan Yanli finished what she wanted to say and stood up to leave.
King Wensheng personally escorted the person to the door. Only when he saw Shangguan Yanli walking out of the camp did he quickly summon his generals.
After explaining the situation, all the generals unanimously agreed to quickly attack the city of Yanjing and announce to the world that the emperor was colluding with the Jin Dynasty and committing treason.
Gu Zhenting was in the palace, and finally got the news that it was rumored that he had colluded with the Jin Dynasty to attack King Wensheng. He was so angry that he cursed.
"Gu Zhenxiao, you are a traitor! Traitor! You shall not die a good death!"
Suddenly, the silent little eunuch moved. He raised his head and asked blankly.
"Your Majesty, are you going to kill King Wensheng?"
Gu Zhenting froze and turned to look.
"Do you have a solution?" Gu Zhenting was suspicious, not believing that this dull eunuch had a solution.
