Chapter 365
"Now that you've seen it, what's so strange about it? There are all kinds of wonders in this great world, and there are always some special ones who like to do the opposite."
Ni Qi took it for granted: "Oh, by the way, she will no longer be the Holy Mother of Extinguishing Fire, but will be called Ni Shengyi, so don't confuse her from now on."
"Ni Shengyi pays homage to my sister, and I will need my sister to take care of her in the future. Please take care of me." The witch said nothing to Alatan, making no effort to hide her charming gesture.
"Ni Shengyi? This name is really elegant," Alatanamuki shook his head slightly and said!
Everyone rested for more than an hour, and then gathered together at the gate of the Chinese military camp.
Ni Qi brought Alatana Muqi and Ni Shengyi, together with Ni Taicang, Yi Ran, and Eight Worthy King Zhao Youting, out of the Xiaoqi camp and headed back to the capital.
After returning to the capital, I realized that another major event had happened to the court. The fifth prince Zhao Youheng, who had been released from Hengzhou and became king of Hengyang, rebelled.
Hengzhou was just to the south of the territory of the Nanqing Dynasty. The King of Hengyang, who supported the troops here, rebelled, directly cutting off the military supplies and retreat routes of the two southern Guangzhou armies.
At the same time, more than [-] troops from the south were divided into three groups from the left, the middle, and the right to conquer the two Guangzhous at the same time. They were victorious, but the Xingluo army retreated steadily, and the Xingluo army was about to be completely driven out of the two Guangzhous.
It's a pity that at this juncture, the entire 10,000+ right-hand army of the Southern Expedition Army was wiped out, and disappeared inexplicably, which became a very bizarre headless case.
Now that the Southern Expedition Army has lost 10,000+ right-hand troops, it was immediately counterattacked by the Xingluo Army, and the situation was precarious.
The escape route was cut off by Hengzhou again. It was a dangerous moment when there was no way to advance or retreat, and there was no choice between left and right, and it was very likely that the entire army would be wiped out.
Six hundred miles from the front line of the Southern Conquest Army urgently reported to the imperial court for help, and they had already rushed into the capital.
Emperor Zhao An was also shocked. He had seen a great victory, the Xingluo army would be completely repelled, and the two Guangzhou lands would be regained. The good situation was completely aborted.
But at this juncture, such an unbelievable and bizarre event happened.
Zhao An knew that the Southern Conquest Army was in dire straits, and was even defeated, threatening the foundation of the Nanqing Dynasty. He dared not relax for a moment, and immediately called officials above the fifth rank in Beijing to hold a court meeting collectively to discuss countermeasures.
"The king of Hengyang, Zhao Youheng, rebelled first, cutting off the supply and return of the South Conquest Army, and dealt a heavy blow to the South Conquest Army. It is tantamount to directly helping the Xingluo Army to turn defeat into victory."
Zuo Mingyang, the prime minister on the right, said in the court hall first: "The sudden and mysterious disappearance of 10,000+ soldiers from the right army of the Southern Conquest Army made the situation even worse. It caused our Southern Qing Dynasty Conqueror Army to suffer a complete defeat. The situation is now very dangerous."
"At the moment when the imperial court is in peril, it seems so, all lovers, what should we do?" Emperor Zhao Angao sat in the main hall and asked Ji Manchu's civil and military officials loudly.
"Your Majesty, that's the case. I thought that the advance army would go south quickly, and agreed to conquer the army from the south. I was caught by surprise and attacked from both sides. I immediately put down the rebellion of King Hengyang of Hengzhou."
Fu Shaobao, Fu Xingchun, who was rarely seen speaking in the court, came out of the class and said: "The rebellion will be suppressed, and the counter-rebellion army and the southern conquest army can be combined together on the spot, quickly repel the Xingluo army, and recover Guangdong and Guangxi."
"This is a feasible solution," Zhao An nodded slightly, but felt a little troubled.
"However, my Nanqing army is stationed on the northern front line, defending against the Tianmeng cavalry's invasion from the south, and there is no troops to move in a hurry."
The Eight Sage Kings immediately went out of the squadron and said: "Father, there are more than [-] small cavalry battalion troops outside the capital. You can send this powerful force to the south quickly to suppress the rebellion. The military situation is extremely urgent, and there is no room for slack!"
"This army was originally used to protect the capital in times of crisis."
Zhao An sighed slightly, and said helplessly, "Ting'er, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot."
"Father, now is the time of national crisis, when there is no need to wait when there are soldiers?" The eight sage kings continued to argue hard.
"Good steel should be used sharply. The country usually spends a lot of money and food to support them. Isn't it just for the moment when the country is in crisis and urgently needs to use people to fight!"
"Alright, Ting'er, you know the general idea very well," Zhao An nodded appreciatively.
"Since you are determined to serve the country and share the worries of the father, then I will send you to be the supervisor."
"Immediately go to the Xiaoqi camp and order Duan Tianya to lead the troops to the south immediately, agreeing to conquer the southern army and attack from both sides to balance the rebellion in the state."
"Then the rebellion was over, and the Xiaoqi Battalion was ordered to join forces with the Zhengnan army on the spot, to repel the Xingluo army with all their strength, and regain the land of Guangdong and Guangxi."
"Yes, my son takes orders, and I will definitely live up to my father's entrustment!" Eight Sage King Zhao Youting readily agreed.
"My Majesty, since the matter of dispatching troops has been decided, but the case of the disappearance of more than [-] soldiers from the right-hand army of my conquest to the south is rather strange," Lin Chongyan, the prime minister of the left, came out to ask for it.
"Wei Chen thought that when he sent a powerful person in the court to investigate the case in detail, he must find out all the truth about it. What kind of accident happened and who was behind it?"
"The southern barbarian land is rumored to be mostly barren. There are ghosts, corpses and witches. The poisonous smoke and miasma swamps are monsters. They often trap people and horses without leaving any traces."
Dachang Temple Qing Wang Yueshan played in the hall and said: "There is also the rumored Black Water River Evil Dragon Pond, which is dedicated to man-eating evil dragons. It is not surprising that more than [-] people are trapped in the swamp."
"My Majesty, these rumors are not credible. Nothing can fall into our army of more than [-] for no reason without leaving any trace."
The national teacher Wu Chengwen also immediately said: "There must be some huge change in this, and there is such a bizarre case. It should be sent to investigate clearly."
"A capable person? Who is a capable person who can investigate this case? More than [-] troops are just like dust, and they will all fall without a trace."
Zhao An shook his head feeling incomprehensible: "Could it be that the sky wants to kill me in Nanqing, so that such a disaster will happen."
"Your Majesty, please be calm and don't be impatient. There are many capable people in this world, but you don't have to be omniscient."
Wu Chengwen also shook his head, and continued to speak arguably: "For example, the prince, the prince is worthy of a capable person, and he is worthy of a great responsibility. It happens that the prince is in the army to conquer the South, so you can immediately send the prince to investigate the case."
"Prince? The prince is resentful towards me in his heart. Thank God if he doesn't make trouble and vent his anger," Huang'an Zhao An even shook his head.
Then he turned his head to the Eight Sage King Zhao Youting and said: "Ting'er, in addition to being the supervisor of the army, you should start investigating this case with all your strength. You must find out the truth of this case."
"Yes, my son accepts the order," the Eighth Sage King Zhao Youting bowed his head heavily to accept the order.
But then he asked again: "If the father really wants my son to investigate this case thoroughly, I know my own ability is limited, but I have an unfeeling request!"
