Zhao He learned about these things at the first time, especially the news about Xia Changan coming with a million troops, which he read over and over again.
His first reaction to the news was disbelief.
Xia Changan already knew exactly who had the people under his control. It was impossible for that group of people to come to Kyoto so quickly.
But last night, Xia Changan did appear in the prison. How could she come so quickly?
Could it be that Xia Changan had been playing tricks to confuse his vision and make him think that she was in Xilin City. Did she actually secretly go to other states and mobilize the garrisons in those places?
This must be the case! I didn't expect that this crazy person who only cared about repairing the chain would have such a scheme.
Humph! It's just a million-strong army. Do you really think that this can turn the tide? Zhao He is not a pushover.
Zhao He casually summoned a servant and instructed him, "Send out scouts to search around Kyoto and make sure to dig out that stinky girl Xia Chang'an. The operation to destroy the imperial mausoleum will be temporarily postponed."
Soon, Xia Changan discovered that several people with strange whereabouts had left Kyoto one after another. Zhao He, who was originally scheduled to go to the imperial mausoleum today, also did not take any action.
This result made Xia Changan feel relieved. Fortunately, Zhao He was conceited enough, and the other party didn't know that she had the ability to teleport, so she fell into the trap she dug.
The good news is that she now has some time to recover. The bad news is that the secret weapon should have been refined.
Because after she blew up the refining workshop, Zhao He did not show any anger or rage, which meant that he had already obtained the weapon.
Two days later, Xia Changan received a message from Lin Zewu. The main force would soon arrive in Kyoto and would be able to join Xia Changan in the afternoon at the latest.
This is such great news!
However, before Xia Changan could be happy for long, Zhao He started to take action.
Zhao He had sent a large number of spies to search for Xia Changan these past two days, but found nothing. Even if he was stupid, he knew that he had fallen into a trap.
If the enemy really had such a large army approaching Kyoto, they would not be able to hide it so well. But the reality was that everything around Kyoto was peaceful and there was no movement.
Zhao He reacted and could not sit still. He immediately mobilized a large number of troops to go to the imperial mausoleum with him to implement the plan of destroying the imperial mausoleum.
Although he had not found any trace of Xia Chang'an, he still carefully mobilized all the troops under his command, a total of one million troops.
This operation was extremely important and could not afford to fail. Zhao He really tried his best to implement the plan smoothly.
Zhao He and his men set off in a mighty procession. However, it would take more than an hour for the main force to reach the imperial mausoleum.
Seeing Zhao He getting farther and farther away, Xia Changan was extremely anxious. But she had done everything she could.
If there was any other way to delay the enemy, it would be to ambush them on the road. But with so many people on the other side, how long could they delay the enemy even if they ambushed them?
Xia Changan didn't dare to think about it anymore. Now he could only take things one step at a time.
Half an hour later, a large army suddenly appeared on the pipeline separated from the Great Xia Imperial Mausoleum by a mountain. This army was surrounding a magnificent carriage.
The person sitting in the carriage was Zhao He. They had been on the road for half an hour. As long as they crossed this mountain, they would reach the imperial mausoleum.
Zhao He was in a very happy mood at the moment. He had been preparing for this plan for too long. He was no longer the child who was looked down upon and bullied.
After so many years of hard work, he finally gained power and had financial resources that rivaled that of a country. Soon, he would become the new emperor of Daxia.
When the time comes, he will definitely let those old stubborn people who always talk about their family background and look down on others see that even an unpopular bastard has the power to subvert the imperial power!
But just when Zhao Hezhi was feeling proud, there were sudden bangs all around him, and the carriage he was riding in was forced to stop.
Zhao He's originally happy mood was also interrupted by this accident.
"Heh! These two days, that girl Xia Changan has been lurking near Kyoto. I didn't expect her to be so good at hiding. However, these tricks can only be used to deal with that group of helpless militiamen. Those I brought this time are all elites." Zhao He thought with disdain.
Afterwards, the strength displayed by these soldiers and priests did not disappoint Zhao He.
The defensive spells they cast together protected the team perfectly. None of the psychic bullets fired from all directions could break through their defenses.
Zhao He's carriage started moving again. The entire team's progress was only stopped for a moment before returning to normal.
Although Xia Changan had expected this outcome, she was still unwilling to accept it. Is there really no way to stop Zhao He?
At this time, Xia Changan, who was hiding near the official road with Yanhuangwei, finally received good news. It was a message from Yue Yuxiang.
He led the Yanhuang Guards and a group of vanguard troops and set off first on the Chuanyun Boat. Although flying was prohibited near Kyoto, they still arrived near the imperial mausoleum at a very fast speed.
They are now ready to go into combat at any time!
This is really great. Xia Changan immediately ordered Yue Yuxiang to come and join the group as soon as possible to join forces with everyone to resist Zhao He and delay time for the main force.
Soon, Zhao He discovered something was wrong. The enemy's firepower suddenly increased, forcing them to stop advancing again.
Because of the opponent's unceasing fierce attacks, as well as the strategy of focusing firepower on attacking weak points, the team's defenses in various places suffered varying degrees of damage.
Zhao He's face immediately darkened. He couldn't continue to let them attack him. He had to fight back.
Zhao He summoned a servant and ordered him, "Pass the order down, catch all the mice lying in ambush nearby and kill them! Quick victory!"
Yue Yuxiang had rich combat experience, and he judged Zhao He's intention almost the moment the rebels took new action.
In order to delay the enemy for a while, Yue Yuxiang immediately ordered his soldiers to adjust their strategy. Everyone began to move flexibly to avoid being attacked by the rebels.
But this strategy was completely inadequate in the face of the number of rebels. The enemy relied on their numerical advantage to encircle and suppress the vanguard troops led by Yue Yuxiang.
Although the vanguard troops were all elite, the rebels were not weak either, not to mention that they were numerous. The vanguard troops had already suffered heavy losses after just one encounter.
Xia Changan watched helplessly as fresh lives faded and withered before her. The heartache and sorrow in her heart almost overwhelmed her.
It was not until she saw a Yanhuang guard with double eyelids being hacked to death by the rebels that she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
That person was still gossiping with the citizens of Chuhe City a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, he was killed by the rebels. This made Xia Changan unable to bear it.
All this is because of Zhao He's ambition! Because of his selfishness, so many people lost their lives! Zhao He must die!
