Ten Wuyan led thousands of defeated soldiers and fled non-stop towards the Great Jin Imperial City.
They were covered in dust and had lost their armor along the way, like a group of frightened lambs, just wanting to escape from the terrible battlefield as quickly as possible.
Tenwuyan was originally in his early forties, but now he looks like he is in his fifties and looks much older.
Finally, they arrived at the imperial city. Suo Wuyan didn't even bother to go home, but went straight into the palace.
After entering the palace, Suo Wuyan was quickly taken to the main hall to meet the old emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom.
The old emperor was already over sixty years old, his hair was gray and sparse, his mental state was poor, and he was slightly fat.
At this moment, he was sitting upright on the dragon throne, with a beautiful maid serving him on each side.
The old emperor did not know the exact situation of the war in the front beforehand, but when he saw Suo Wuyan fleeing back to the palace in such a miserable state, he already knew the seriousness of the situation.
Without asking any questions, he knew that a disaster was about to happen.
Chan Wuyan knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, his voice choked with sobs.
"Your Majesty! I deserve death! I am truly ashamed of your kindness and trust!"
"I failed to hold on to the remaining troops, which resulted in heavy losses for our army. Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish me. I am willing to accept any punishment without any complaints!"
When the old emperor of the Great Jin heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over and almost stood up from the dragon throne.
However, due to his poor health, it was difficult for him to get up.
At this moment, the old emperor hated Chan Wuyan so much that he wanted to execute him immediately.
However, he quickly regained his composure after a short while, because he knew very well that he could not take any action against the Tenon-Filthy Rock.
The Great Jin Empire was actually built by many powerful families.
Although the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty had a high status and great power and ruled the entire Great Jin Dynasty, all nobles had to obey his orders.
But this time the situation is different.
Due to the continuous defeats, hundreds of thousands of troops were lost.
The old emperor's majesty faced an unprecedented challenge.
According to the information he had learned, several families had realized that the Great Jin Dynasty was about to end, so they secretly led their people to flee.
Now, his men are in need of new people, and he also knows that Suo Wuyan is the most loyal person to him.
He is also a talented person who can lead troops in battle.
Therefore, at this critical juncture, the old emperor would never do anything to harm Wu Yan, but should try to appease him instead.
After the old emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty understood this, his expression gradually softened.
He sighed deeply and asked.
"I and the Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty have already agreed to join forces to deal with the King of Yan and his army!"
"Why did we still encounter such a tragic failure?"
This is the most strange thing for the old emperor now. Everything was fine before.
When Suo Wuyan saw that the emperor did not blame him, he felt even more guilty.
However, whenever he thought about the conspiracy against him by the Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty and the Prince of Yan, he became furious and indignant!
He gritted his teeth and recounted the whole story in detail.
Finally, he said, "Your Majesty! I think this time we have really been fooled by the Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty and the Prince of Yan!"
"In my humble opinion, there is no rift between the Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty and the Prince of Yan at all."
"Everything that happened before was just a double act between the two of them."
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.
At this moment, the old emperor half closed his eyes and remained silent, but in his heart he had already begun to secretly ponder the whole story.
Thinking about it carefully, it is just as the old minister said. From the beginning to the end, it was the emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty who took the initiative to contact them privately and continuously provided them with the defense map of the Prince of Yan's army.
It is also because of this that they can repeatedly achieve small victories on the battlefield.
These victories also allowed them to see the sincerity of the Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty, so they felt confident and bold to launch this unprecedented cooperative action.
But they never expected that during this cooperation, they actually lost a full 200,000 troops in one go!
At this point, the last bit of military strength he had was exhausted.
At this moment, the old emperor couldn't help but feel suspicious - could it be that he was really being played around by the emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty? Thinking of this, he gnashed his teeth in anger, his heart filled with resentment and injustice.
"Someone has to pay the price for this."
Just when the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty and Suo Wuyan were extremely angry, a palace servant with a panicked look ran in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something big has happened!" The palace servant spoke in a panic, his face full of horror.
"What's causing all the panic?" the emperor asked, frowning.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yan is leading a large army and is rapidly approaching the imperial city!" the palace servant replied in a trembling voice.
Upon hearing the news, both Chanwuyan and the old emperor were shocked.
"This...what should I do?!"
The old emperor was extremely anxious, thinking to himself:
We must not allow the Prince of Yan’s army to continue advancing, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Although the walls of the Great Jin Imperial City were tall and strong, they could not withstand a long-term fierce attack. Moreover, the food and grass reserves in the city were not sufficient. If the siege lasted for a long time, it would inevitably fall into a desperate situation.
Upon seeing this, Chan Wuyan immediately stood up and saluted the emperor.
"Your Majesty, do not panic. I am willing to lead the imperial city garrison to defend the city!"
The old emperor nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll leave everything to you, my dear."
Although Chan Wuyan's face was solemn, he still kowtowed firmly to the old emperor to express his gratitude, then quickly turned around and left.
At this moment, he knew very well that this expedition would be disastrous and he might die for his country!
After watching Suo Wuyan leave, the old emperor knew that the army led by Suo Wuyan could only temporarily resist the offensive of Prince Yan.
The imperial city still couldn't escape the fate of falling. He had to come up with a foolproof plan as soon as possible.
At this moment, a man walked in from outside. He was wearing a flowing Taoist robe, had a thin face, and a wisp of goatee, and looked quite like an immortal.
When the emperor saw him come in, his originally dull eyes suddenly became bright.
"Master Liu! You're here! Please take a seat!"
Liu Neng did not refuse and sat down below the old emperor.
Before he opened his mouth, the old emperor couldn't help but speak.
"I'm in great trouble today. Please think of a solution for me as soon as possible." The emperor said anxiously.
"The King of Yan has now led his army outside the city. I'm afraid the imperial city of the Great Jin Kingdom can no longer be saved!"
After hearing this, Liu Neng smiled slightly, looking confident, and then pretended to pinch his fingers and began to calculate.
After a while, his eyebrows suddenly raised.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that this crisis can be resolved smoothly!" Liu Neng promised solemnly.
