Chapter 238: Total Annihilation
Their army of 500,000 was completely wiped out!
There has never been such a brutal war in history.
Nanzhao set a precedent.
The total number of troops in all the prefectures and border cities of Nanzhao was only one million, and they were cut in half in an instant.
They are all men of Nanzhao, just gone like that?
After crying bitterly, the emperor denounced Chi Ming's crimes to the whole world.
It is said that Chi Ming's murderous deeds are so heinous that they are hated by both humans and gods!
But Chi Ming sent a message saying that if Nanzhao was ready to be destroyed, they could continue to curse.
The Emperor of Nanzhao was also quite aware of the current situation.
Knowing that there was such powerful gunpowder, they would never have won.
Nanzhao had 200,000 soldiers deployed on the city wall, but the enemy blew up the city wall with a few pieces of iron.
How can we fight this?
It was definitely one-sided abuse.
He knew that Chi Ming was definitely capable of destroying Nanzhao.
In order to avoid becoming the king who lost his country, the Emperor of Nanzhao was very aware of the current situation.
He quickly submitted a letter of surrender to Dongxi, expressing his willingness to pay tribute every year and submit to the country.
He gave in very quickly.
When the letter of surrender was delivered to the capital, the emperor burst into laughter after reading it.
"Okay...Okay, Chi Ming, well done, you are worthy of being my younger brother."
"Without Qinghuan, there would be no current situation. This is the most proud day for Dongxi in decades."
Eight years ago, when Chi Ming defeated Nanzhao, Nanzhao did not surrender.
Seeing such a grand spectacle before his death, he died without regrets!
Desheng also laughed: "Princess Zhenguo, she really lives up to the name."
He also admired Bai Qinghuan very much.
It was the Princess Zhenguo who made the Dongxi people stand up straighter.
"Okay, let the Crown Prince arrange to receive the letter of surrender presented by the Nanzhao envoys."
Desheng went out of the palace, then ran back in panic, almost falling down when he passed the threshold.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
"What happened?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is missing."
The emperor was shocked: "What do you mean it's gone?"
"He was not at home. Only a letter was found in the bedroom."
It was presented to the emperor, and his majesty saw the four big words written on the envelope, "His Majesty personally opened it."
"What is this kid doing?"
When I opened it, I was immediately furious.
He actually sneaked away and went to the northwest border.
If you don’t fight for a day, your butt will feel itchy, right?
"Asshole!"
The emperor was angry and the eunuchs in the room were trembling with fear.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The emperor suppressed his anger and took a few deep breaths, but he was still furious.
"If he runs away, who will handle government affairs?"
He doesn't want to deal with these things. He is still a patient and he doesn't want to.
His life was already coming to an end, and he wanted to relax a little, so why didn't you give him a chance?
Desheng doesn't even dare to breathe, who will handle the government affairs?
Who else could it be? Your Majesty, it could be you alone!
His Majesty lay back, feeling extremely irritated.
He sighed towards the roof: "You are all enjoying yourself at the border, and I am the only one left."
He has never been to the border in his life.
I have never seen the beautiful scenery of Dongxi.
He also wanted to go and didn't want to stay in this palace.
Suddenly I thought of something and changed my previous decadent state.
"Desheng, pack your things. I want to go on a private visit with the Queen."
Desheng was almost scared to death: "Your Majesty, please think twice."
Now that His Majesty is gone, who will be in charge of the court?
"What are you talking about? If you keep thinking, I will have to go to see my ancestors."
"If the ancestors asked me, what does Dongxi look like now?"
"I have never seen it, how can I answer?"
The more the emperor spoke, the more right he felt. He had to go out and leave today.
"After I leave the capital, you can give this letter to the princess."
Desheng was so anxious that he turned around and around: "Your Majesty, you are not bringing your servants?"
"No, without a servant here, what will happen if you go out and no one takes care of you?"
"Stop talking nonsense and go pack my things for me."
Half a day later, the eldest princess received the letter and wanted to curse her unscrupulous brother to death.
How could he do that?
"Chi Yao, if you have the guts, don't come back!"
"Go and ask the Prince Consort to come. I have something to discuss with him."
The maid returned in a hurry: "Princess, the prince consort is not here, only this letter is here."
The princess was going crazy: "The prince consort ran away too?"
"What on earth is attracting them to the northwest? Who is there in the northwest?"
The maid whispered, "The Xirong army is here."
"You're the only one who knows."
The eldest princess wished she could run away from home right now.
But she can't.
Damn sense of responsibility!
Desheng: Princess, I wish you good luck.
On the northwest border, the Western Rong army hesitated after hearing about the battle situation in Nanzhao.
If these 500,000 soldiers were wiped out, the Western Rong would be doomed.
But if we withdraw directly when the enemy is at the gate, wouldn't it only boost others' morale and destroy our own prestige?
They can't afford to lose face if they retreat without a fight.
"kill!"
At a command, 500,000 people rushed over, and Chi Ming also ordered the gunpowder to be thrown out without hesitation.
Just like in the southwest, everyone was blown to pieces.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Chi Ming drew his bow and shot an arrow, piercing the heart of the Western Rong commander.
The Xirong army was in chaos, and Dongxi pursued them.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess's husband had a great time killing each other.
Watch the explosives explode in the enemy's camp. What a wonderful sound it is.
Of the 500,000 Western Rong cavalry, only a few were left.
They felt that if they didn't come here, they would definitely regret it.
Fortunately, I sneaked here, otherwise I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.
There were few cities in the Western Rong, and most of the people were nomads, and the land was vast and flat with grasslands.
After chasing for five hundred miles, they finally saw a mountain range.
Chi Ming ordered the construction of a city wall with this as the boundary, and from then on all of this would be Dongxi's territory.
Li Chengrui asked in confusion:
"Prince Regent, why don't you attack the Xirong's imperial court?"
Chi Ming didn't say much: "Let's talk about it after this year."
He still remembered what Qinghuan had said about the year without summer, and that taxes would definitely not be levied this year.
How can we fight a war if the treasury is not full and there is insufficient food and fodder?
After arranging all matters in the Northwest, Chi Ming eliminated the spies that the Yun family had planted in the Northwest Army one by one and prepared to return to Beijing.
Li Chengrui was a little troubled.
He enjoyed fighting, but he didn't know what kind of punishment he would face when he returned.
"My Lord Regent, I have something to ask."
"explain."
Li Chengrui prayed carefully:
"That is...that is...can you help me put in a good word in front of your sister when you go back?"
"You came to the border town, didn't the imperial sister know?"
"Haha~ I'm not afraid that the princess won't agree."
"You all ran away one by one, and the emperor sister is dealing with government affairs alone. How do you think she feels now?"
He had known the news from the capital for a long time, one by one, which made him worry.
Li Chengrui's face turned red like liver.
The eldest princess must be in a bad mood. She is probably like a lump of iron that can explode at any time.
What should he do after he returns?
His eyes turned to Chi Zhuorui:
"Prince, have you thought about what to say when you return?"
