Yin Jin'an's temper is such that he doesn't even like children, let alone leading a child into battle.
How could he possibly have the patience to take care of a child?
Xu Li said, "Prime Minister Ling, Duke, don't you think that child looks somewhat familiar?"
Gu Chongjin and Ling Xun looked closely, but the child was wearing a small tiger mask, so they really couldn't tell.
"General Xu, who do you think you look like?"
Xu Li: "I can't quite put my finger on it, it just feels familiar..."
Yin Jin'an's army was at the city gates. The city walls were filled with murderous intent and were ready for battle. There were not only large stones, but also pots of hot oil.
Archers were already prepared.
This is to prevent attackers from climbing the city walls.
The capital city is the best protected of all the cities.
"Generals inside the city, lay down your weapons and let His Highness enter the city, or you will be killed without mercy!"
"Hahaha, traitor! His Majesty is still alive, yet you dare to plot to usurp the throne. If you take another step forward, you will surely never return."
...
After shouting a few times, Yin Jin'an found it boring and directly ordered the catapult team to bring over the catapult.
They placed oversized, lit clay pot bombs into catapults and blasted the archers on the city walls one after another.
Landmines were dropped wherever archers could be hidden. These earthenware pot mines weren't large rocks; a single rock might kill three or four people at most, but an earthenware pot mine could explode and cover a large area.
After blowing up the archers, immediately blow up the city gate.
The city gates were breached quickly, and Gu Bahuang and Xiahou Yan led the charge into the imperial city.
The common people had already hidden in their homes, so the people running around on the streets were basically the imperial army. Kill them!
The capital of Western Xia was no match for that of the Jade Dragon Kingdom, and was even worse than the one they had fought so hard against before. It didn't take them long to reach the palace.
Emperor Yangsheng had long since retreated to the most secluded part of the palace, requiring several gates to enter.
However, Emperor Yangsheng was very worried and so nervous that he kept wanting to go to the toilet.
Ling Xun, Gu Chongjin, and Xu Li were not in the palace; they were at the post station, so they couldn't negotiate with Ling Xun.
Chu Hanhua complained, "Your Majesty said you would offer them three cities, but you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. It's too late to say anything now."
Emperor Yangsheng said angrily, "What are you complaining about? In the end, isn't it because you killed his mother? Otherwise, how could there be such a deep hatred between me and his father?"
Chu Hanhua glared angrily, "How could Your Majesty say such a thing? All these years, Great Xia has been peaceful and stable, isn't it all thanks to my brother who has been mediating for you? It's the support of the Jade Dragon Kingdom that has allowed Western Xia to prosper..."
"Your elder brother? Those countries don't dare to touch Western Xia, isn't it because they fear the existence of the eldest prince? Isn't it because they fear his fighting power?"
Emperor Yangsheng was so angry that he blurted out, "Open your eyes and look! He alone can repel 100,000 Liao troops. What can your sons do? They're all good-for-nothings!"
Having relied on Chu Jiang's power for so many years, Empress Chu, in a fit of anger, said, "Your Majesty says that the children I gave birth to are good-for-nothings, but aren't they Your Majesty's offspring? Besides, others may not know how Empress Wei died, but Your Majesty certainly does."
The civil and military officials were speechless. What kind of time is this to be exposing each other's shortcomings?
While they were blaming each other, Yin Jin'an's men had already blown open the palace gates.
The imperial guards were all mobilized, and Xiahou Yan and Gu Bahuang fought fiercely against the enemy without hesitation.
When Emperor Yangsheng heard the guard report that "the palace gates have been breached," he stopped arguing with Chu Hanhua, his face grim, and said, "Follow me to meet the enemy."
He's going to use his trump card.
As the second palace gate was about to open, Emperor Yangsheng sent someone to call out to Yin Jin'an.
"Your Highness, please stop!" The man leaped onto the roof of the main hall and shouted, "His Majesty wishes to negotiate with Your Highness."
The door opened, and Emperor Yangsheng sat in a large round-backed chair, facing the main gate, surrounded by a dense crowd of inner guards.
Those guards looked very unusual.
Yin Jin'an dismounted from his horse and embraced Jiutian.
Emperor Yang Sheng glanced at the heavens and suddenly sneered, "Are you so determined to win? You even brought a child with you?"
"Winning you is just a snap of the fingers."
"Who exactly are you, this traitor? How dare you impersonate the First Prince?"
"Jin'an!" Not Xiao Jin'an, but Yin Jin'an!
“Jin’an is my son. I know his situation better than you do. You wear a mask and dare not show your true face. You are a despicable and shameless traitor.”
"Even if I am despicable, I am still more upright than you. Emperor Yangsheng, you gained the throne by relying on Empress Wei, and then you repaid kindness with enmity by killing her and harming me. Do you think the world doesn't know this?"
"That's my family matter! You, an outsider, have no right to interfere."
“The royal family has no private matters. Besides, I am the eldest prince. Who said this is your personal matter?” Yin Jin’an said. “Stop talking nonsense. Abdicate, kill the demon queen. If you agree, issue the decree. If you disagree, then let’s fight.”
Emperor Yangsheng never expected his son to be so arrogant and so imposing.
How could that be? Isn't he an idiot?
"Do you dare let me see your true face?"
"What if you watch it? What if you don't?"
"If you are truly Jin'an, I will grant you a complete corpse; otherwise, you will be torn apart by five horses!"
"You're going to die anyway?" Yin Jin'an said. "My true face is precious; trash like you doesn't deserve to see it."
Emperor Yangsheng was furious. Suddenly, he took out a token, which was made of wood and was exactly the same as the three wooden tokens that Xiahou Yan had given to Yin Jin'an.
Emperor Yangsheng forcefully broke the wooden plaque, and the insect eggs inside fell to the ground.
