"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"My brother, King Chen Wen of Nan'an, is guarding the border with 50,000 troops."
"How could it be breached so quickly? There must be news coming back. Now that the border has been breached, why did we only just receive the news? This is absolutely wrong. You must be lying to me, right?"
The young general also looked very aggrieved and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, here is a secret report sent by spies at the border. Please review it."
"Spies reported that the Miao Kingdom attacked our southwestern border without a single soldier, and that was because King Nan'an surrendered directly."
"He directly chose to incorporate his 50,000 troops into the Miao army, jointly plundering and killing civilians at the border. He was simply committing all sorts of evil. The King of Nannan had become a general under the Miao army."
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers in the court were immediately in an uproar. They were just discussing in a low voice just now, but now they were extremely panicked. The King of Nannan had directly surrendered to the enemy!
The key point is that he led the court's 50,000 border defense troops directly into the enemy camp. Under this circumstance, things became much more dangerous.
I will send this part of the border troops, and the current military strength of the imperial court will naturally be weakened. More importantly, the Miao Kingdom is unstoppable, and with a spy leading the way, the speed will inevitably increase.
At the same time, Ye Jiajia also received a secret report, which was transmitted all the way from the capital.
"Xu Sanwa led the army straight to the border and single-handedly repelled the Miao army."
Lu Yun was also very pleased to be here, after all, these were soldiers he had once led, but he could also understand.
This border is difficult to attack in the first place. It is a narrow pass. Fighting here is effortless. The enemy will have to think carefully even if they use human wave tactics.
The defeat of the Miao Kingdom was indeed expected!
Don't we need reinforcements?
Or perhaps the emperor stopped fighting, but this was not mentioned in the secret report, which is really confusing.
At this time, in the imperial hall.
The Shu Emperor Chen Mu was also quite excited, and at the same time a little indignant. He had never expected that his younger brother, King Nannan, would directly rebel against the court and lead a large army to join the Miao Kingdom.
"Why is this happening? My younger brother has always been respectful to me, and I even gave him such an important position."
"Even if you rebel, that's fine!"
What Chen Mu couldn't accept was that his younger brother, King Nannan, surrendered directly without fighting the Miao Kingdom and without showing any courage, even if it was a rebellion against him.
At least it proves that he is a man of courage, and he did not become a spy for others nor kneel down to others, but now it is different.
Rebellion at least shows that you are an ambitious person with great ambitions, and want to become the emperor of Shu. But now, it means that you are just a troublemaker.
"Oh..." Chen Muyou sighed and couldn't help but look at the ministers present and questioned.
"My dear ministers, what do you think of this matter?"
Prime Minister Zhang He clearly hadn't expected this sudden development. He sighed and helplessly explained, "In my opinion, the King of Nan'an has probably been colluding with the Miao Kingdom for a long time, which is why what happened today happened."
"Your Majesty, this is an extremely dangerous matter for our Shu Kingdom."
“No one knows what will happen next.”
"Prince Nan'an knows Shu very well. If he wants to occupy half of Shu, or wants to take away Your Majesty's position, it will be a bit troublesome."
"If the Miao Kingdom and the King of Nan'an are just cooperating temporarily and want to break through the barrier that Shu Kingdom has set up between the Miao Kingdom and the Great Zhou, I think there will be no problem. I can take this opportunity to retake it."
"this……"
Chen Mu hesitated for a moment. This matter was indeed a bit troublesome for him, and he didn't know how to deal with it!
It was too sudden, so they still needed to gather troops and attack as soon as possible. Many cities would surely be looted within a few days.
The King of Nannan has always had outstanding military achievements. In fact, he has always been popular on the border!
What he is most worried about now is whether he can take the city and the pass without bloodshed. This is uncertain.
With the help of the Miao Kingdom, they are not vegetarians!
"well……"
In this way, by this afternoon, the news of the border being breached had spread throughout the court and the entire palace, and even Lu Yun knew about it.
I never expected that there would be people in Shu Kingdom who would betray and even collaborate with the enemy!
"Do you know the King of Nan'an?"
Lu Yun looked at Chen Yuan'er curiously and asked.
"I... he's also my brother. He's always had outstanding military achievements and has been recognized by many. He's been very stable since he was stationed on the border. So many years have passed. How could this happen..."
"The Miao Kingdom and my brother are now united. I believe they will soon occupy half of Shu Kingdom. Most of the cities will be taken. I am not kidding."
"Even without bloodshed!"
"My brother's abilities have always been recognized by everyone, not to mention that he is also very popular as a person."
"ah?"
Lu Yun hadn't expected the Prince of Nan'an to be so powerful! But why would he unite with the Miao people? Was he dissatisfied with the current emperor? Or did he want to be king?
"Eunuch Lu, the situation is getting worse. My royal brother, those 50,000 soldiers over there are absolutely formidable. They are soldiers who have surrendered to the border."
"Fortunately, the imperial court now has a lot of troops under its control, so there is no need to worry about rebellion."
This incident happened so suddenly that even Lu Yun was a little panicked, because in his opinion, it was possible to allow the Miao Kingdom to attack the Shu Kingdom and cause some unrest for them.
But now, they were given a big surprise and captured several border cities.
The number of cities is not important, what is important is that there is someone leading the way. It is equivalent to having a spy who is always helping them. How can they play this game?
This is hard to beat!
In this situation, the Shu Kingdom may not be able to take care of itself, so how can it take care of other things?
However, if the two countries can still unite, their military strength will still be very strong. The Miao country only has 50,000 rebels, which is no big deal.
Lu Yun was also confident that as long as he could develop explosives, even if the quantity was small, it would still be able to serve as a deterrent on the battlefield.
Just then, a eunuch walked in and said, "Eunuch Lu, His Majesty invites you."
"Oh?" Lu Yun was a little surprised. He hadn't seen him for several days, but now that such an accident had happened in their Shu Kingdom, he came to find him.
