He immediately asked his father, the emperor, to increase the army from 300,000 to 1 million.
At that time, he was absolutely confident of winning this battle, so he issued a military order that he must invade South Vietnam and make meritorious service within three months.
Due to his repeated missteps, his father had already begun to depose him as Crown Prince and install Dongfang Xing as the new crown prince. Furthermore, during the Six Nations Chamber of Commerce, he had surrendered such a vast gold mine, causing Dongxiang Kingdom to suffer enormous losses. Therefore, this was not only Qian Yeyao's last chance, but also Dongfang Ming's last chance.
Who would have thought that after he mobilized all the millions of troops to the border, Pei Zhong, who led 300,000 troops and the 200,000 troops already at Hangu Pass, would remain motionless.
In order to avoid the investigation of Emperor Dezheng, Murong Qingyu hid the Murong family's private army outside Hangu Pass, but not in the vacuum zone at the border of Dongxiang.
It was extremely convenient for him to lead his troops to attack these private armies, but that old fox Pei Zhong refused to come out to fight, and acted as if he was sacrificing the chariot to save the king, which really made him worried.
He couldn't attack Hangu Pass directly, so he could only ruthlessly attack Murong Qingyu's 100,000 private soldiers. He couldn't kill them, so he had to fight vigorously and make the whole place chaotic.
Only in this way could this group of private armies disguised as civilians from the border town ask for support from the imperial court when they could not resist, and only in this way could the imperial court punish Pei Zhong for inaction.
After a month of fighting, he sent out countless spies, but none of them returned. He then switched to using birds to send messages, but there was still no response.
Seeing that the million-strong army had been bored at Hangu Pass for two months, the voices of dissatisfaction with him in the capital were growing louder and louder.
Dongfang Ming was anxious.
Now he finally understood that Emperor Dezheng was old and confused, but Qian Yeming was the one who played the pig to eat the tiger. He had determined that the 100,000 people outside the pass were Murong Qingyu's private army, so he was happy to let him take action to eliminate them on his behalf.
But after being teased and raped time and time again, these 100,000 private soldiers finally became angry.
Their leading general finally spoke: The imperial court will not care about us anymore, brothers, let's fight these bastards!
So, rabbits will bite people when they are angry, and Dongfang Ming is the unfortunate person who was bitten by the rabbit.
It was clearly planned to harass Murong's private army, attract rescue from Hangu Pass, then take the opportunity to capture the troops of Hangu Pass, and finally break through Hangu Pass in one fell swoop and penetrate into the interior of South Vietnam.
In the end, no one knew what happened, but it turned out that his million-strong army desperately wiped out 100,000 of Murong's private army, and then he himself was bitten to death by the angry rabbit, with 150,000 people bitten and 170,000 people injured.
Suddenly, an army of one million was reduced to 320,000 men. This is so frustrating!
That night, Dongfang Ming was so angry that he drank alone in his tent, his eyes red with anger. At this moment, on his desk was an imperial edict, which said that he didn't need to wait for three months and should return to the capital immediately with the remaining one million troops.
The more Dongfang Ming thought about it, the angrier and more depressed he became. This was clearly Ling Mingying and Qian Yeyao's last chance, but why wouldn't the other party cooperate?
He is now in such a passive position that he really wants to kill these two people.
