What's more, there are still 150,000 soldiers and horses in the imperial capital, which is by no means a small number.
With 150,000 troops, they defended the city and resisted 100,000 troops.
Even though there is a gap in the combat power between the two sides, they can definitely remain invincible.
Therefore, after a brief panic, the entire court, from the emperor to the officials, calmed down.
Moreover, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the city walls of the imperial capital were reinforced.
Because he once got the throne by attacking the former crown prince who was guarding the city inside.
They had used real weapons and swords to attack cities, and knew where the city defenses were strong and where they were weak.
It can be said that after reinforcement, the current imperial capital of Yue State is now more solid than before.
Thinking of this, the Emperor of Yue also gained confidence.
He glanced at the ministers and suddenly stood up from the dragon throne.
"The envoys have been sent out. I am sure that Wu and Shu will not sit idly by!"
"We have 150,000 troops in our imperial capital. As long as we hold out for more than a month, Dagan will surely encounter fierce attacks from the other three countries."
"When that time comes, the Gan army will retreat and return to the country to provide assistance."
"That's when we must rally our forces and fight back!"
"My dear ministers, now is the time for us, the king and his subjects, to unite as one and fight to the death!"
All the ministers immediately knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
However, although the words were very tough, these court officials all had their own thoughts.
Half a day later, the army of Gan Kingdom rushed in quickly and surrounded the entire imperial capital of Yue Kingdom.
However, there was no rush to launch an attack.
Reports from the battlefield were transmitted back to Dagan like snowflakes.
Imperial capital, imperial palace.
Jiang Wan'er, who was attending court, was discussing the subsequent resource transportation issues with a group of court officials.
Zhao Wenxiang came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have made detailed arrangements. There will be no problem with the subsequent supply of food and grass for the army."
"For now, the focus is still on whether we can capture the capital of Yue Kingdom within the next month."
The Nei Shi Yamen only needed to prepare two months' worth of food and fodder for the army, which was not a difficult task for him.
Everyone understands that the war against Yue is not the point at all.
The key lies in the three countries to the south and west.
Now, the army has entered the State of Yue for nearly twenty days.
I think the Wu and Shu kingdoms should have also received the news.
This is when the real pressure comes.
Just then, a eunuch's voice came from outside the hall.
"Battle report!"
"Battle report!"
The young eunuch ran into the hall quickly, holding the battle report in both hands.
Eunuch Qu hurried down the jade steps, took the report, turned around and presented it to Jiang Wan'er.
Jiang Wan'er opened it quickly.
At one glance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
After reading it, she glanced at Eunuch Qu next to her.
Eunuch Qu immediately understood, picked up the report, walked down the jade steps again, and presented it to the Left Prime Minister.
Zuo Lian quickly reached out to take it, and after taking a look at it, he said with great joy: "Good!"
"Both armies are unstoppable!"
"General Chu Yun has captured Xuancheng, and General Yu Ping has successfully surrounded the Yue Kingdom's capital!"
As he spoke, he presented the battle report to King Kang next to him.
After seeing it, King Kang was also delighted.
The battle report was passed among the ministers, and after everyone read it, an expression of great joy appeared on their faces.
Jiang Wan'er smiled and said, "General Chu Yun is now setting out from Xuancheng and heading east."
"Once we have dealt with all the southern troops, we can return and attack the Yue capital together with General Yu Ping!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to destroy the Kingdom of Yue in one fell swoop within a month!"
Jiang Wan'er was in a good mood.
If she could successfully destroy the Kingdom of Yue, then her wish to unify the nine provinces would have successfully taken the first step.
However, the pressure now is also extremely great, and the Wu and Shu countries will definitely take action.
It depends on whether the remaining tens of thousands of troops can delay enough time!
at the same time.
Wu State.
Imperial capital.
In the palace hall, scouts sent back detailed intelligence from the Kingdom of Yue.
At first glance, the entire court was filled with gasps of shock.
The new emperor of Wu also quickly looked at the female prime minister Xie Daoxun.
"Prime Minister, this..."
"Should our Wu Kingdom take this opportunity to send troops immediately?"
Xie Daoxun pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Da Gan is unstoppable and has already surrounded the capital of Yue."
"But, the Yue Kingdom's capital still has a lot of troops, so it won't fall so quickly!"
"At this time, we should immediately contact Nanchu and Shu and agree to send troops together."
"Give Da Gan a thunderous blow and head straight for Da Gan Di Jing."
"By that time, the Gan army will surely come back to support us. We will wait for them halfway and will surely defeat them."
The new emperor of Wu's eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "Then I will immediately send an envoy to inform Shu."
"As for Nan Chu, I'll trouble the Prime Minister!"
Xie Daoxun nodded, then turned around and looked at the ministers.
"The war is imminent. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must not be missed."
"My fellow officers, we must work together to ensure that the army has everything it needs. We must not slack off in the slightest."
"If you disobey my orders, don't blame me for enforcing military law!"
Now in the Wu court, Xie Daoxun has the final say.
No one dared to say no.
It can be said that now, Xie Daoxun’s words are more effective than those of the new emperor of Wu.
So, when they heard her say this, all the court officials respectfully said yes.
After court was dismissed, Xie Daoxun returned to his house and began to study carefully on a small sand table.
Although this sand table is small, it can show the main land routes, water routes, important cities, and military deployments of various countries at a glance.
"This time, Da Gan sent out 200,000 troops. They have garrisons in Jianning City in the south and Luoye City in the west, with a maximum of 30,000 troops each."
"With such a large force, are they betting that the Three Kingdoms cannot capture Jianning and Luoye in a short period of time?"
"There are two armies attacking Yue. One is led by Xiao Chuyun, and the other is commanded by Yu Ping."
"Old General Xiao Danglu should have been sent to one of the two cities, Jianning and Luoye."
"The only two great generals who are good at fighting are Yu Ping and Xiao Chuyun. The only one left is Old Jiang Xiao Danglu."
"In this way, as long as we figure out whether Xiao Danglu is guarding the south or the west, we can decide the route of this attack!"
She still gave the old general Xiao Danglu very high respect.
It's not that she was afraid.
However, it is not cost-effective to go head-on with such a veteran warrior.
It is better to attack in another direction and take it down as soon as possible. This is the best choice to be invincible strategically.
