Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 387 The Emperor Sees the Retired Emperor

The war between the Customs and Ningyuan City was on the verge of breaking out, and both armies began to take action after the other side mobilized.

As the war began, the man in black disappeared. At the same time, two people in Shanhaiguan flew into the sky and disappeared. Others did not know about this, but Jia Lu knew it.

He also understood that these missing teachers were the practitioners on both sides. When war became inevitable, they would take action. If the Great Zhou Empire suffered more failures, perhaps the Great Zhou Empire's founder would show up.

"This time I just don't know if the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire can finally invite Taizu down. If Taizu really shows up, then my plan will continue. If he doesn't show up, maybe I can consider occupying some territories of the Great Zhou Empire."

Jia Wei had this idea, and the practitioners from other countries who were paying attention to this war also had this idea. In this war, no matter how many people and practitioners the Great Zhou Empire sent out, it was doomed to fail, because they would take action, because they needed to see if the Great Zhou Taizu could come out.

As the war broke out, Jia Wei rushed forward with 5000 vanguards as soon as possible, because this war was not a siege, but a war of offense and defense.

The army led by Wang Zhiteng was responsible for defending the city, while the others were responsible for attacking the city.

Jia Zheng led his 5000 men to block the enemy in the rear. After one battle, only more than 4000 people were left. After the second battle, only more than 3000 people were left. However, after several consecutive battles, these more than 3000 people basically had no losses. At this moment, he also understood that the remaining more than 3000 people were all sincere in their loyalty to him, and they became his loyalties under the intervention of the system. After this understanding, he knew what to do next.

These people are actually all loyal to him, so we have to help them make some contributions, so he asked the intelligence department to find the enemy's logistics location long ago, and easily burned most of the enemy's food and grass. When this matter was reported back, Wang Ziteng slammed the table angrily and asked loudly to those around him.

"Where are the people I asked you to arrange? Didn't I ask you to arrange people to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with this kid? Why didn't you do it? He didn't say anything and even gave him such a big credit."

His men were also helpless at this moment. After listening to Wang Ziteng's words, they could only speak with gritted teeth.

"The people we sent did go, but because the other side was too cautious, they didn't give them any chances. In the war, they were completely wiped out because of their poor ability to escape. The only people they sent could be reinforcements. Just now, that guy sent a message saying that his army only had 2000 people. If we give him reinforcements, we may still be able to attack. If we don't, there will be no chance of attacking."

Although Wang Ziteng didn't want to add 2000 troops, he gritted his teeth and said it in order to completely get rid of that guy.

"Give him 2000 men, right? Replace 1000 of them with our men, and let them attack the guy directly in the next battle. If they kill him, everything will be fine. If they can't kill him, let them go wherever they want and don't affect me."

After Wang Ziteng made up his mind, the war was still going on, so he hurried out to take charge of the overall situation and continue to defend Shanhaiguan. However, due to the lack of personnel, the subsequent defense was a losing battle. In just three days, Shanhaiguan was already shaky. If there was no reinforcement, it would only be a matter of time before Shanhaiguan was destroyed. On the other hand, the 1000 people he sold did not achieve any results. Instead, they were basically all killed after a war.

After several wars, not a single one of his men was left.

Wang Ziteng has been feeling really uncomfortable recently, and the news spread quickly throughout the Great Zhou Empire. His Majesty the Emperor was also very troubled after hearing the news, but now he has no choice but to hold a court meeting to arrange for other people to go.

However, none of the mighty gods below wanted to go to Shanhaiguan, because they all knew the current situation. No matter who went, they would not be able to defend it. They could only give up in the bay temporarily. However, they were unwilling to take the blame for abandoning, so they could only put the blame on Wang Ziteng.

Just when the emperor was at a loss, someone finally reminded him and told him to go find the retired emperor who was still in internal practice.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to go either, but he knew that if he didn't find the retired emperor, something might really go wrong. He had to get the support of Prince Beijing. Only by letting Prince Beijing go together to defend could they defend the Shanhaiguan line.

If the other party wanted to take action, the emperor emeritus would need to give the order, so the emperor had no choice but to go to the emperor emeritus. When the emperor emeritus saw the emperor coming, he asked him to sit down and asked the emperor the reason for his coming. The emperor did not waste time and directly told him the situation in Shanhaiguan. He thought the emperor emeritus would directly help him, but he did not expect that the emperor emeritus just snorted coldly and spoke to him in a bad mood.

"When I passed this position to you, I knew you couldn't defend the country. Fortunately, I kept a trick. Don't worry, there will be no problem at Shanhaiguan. Someone will help you defend this customs when necessary. What you have to do now is to supply all the two grass materials needed by Shanhaiguan. There must be no mistakes."

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was still somewhat puzzled, the retired emperor did not say anything. Instead, he waved his hand and asked the Emperor to leave. The emperor who left was full of confusion, but he also understood that no matter how much knowledge he had, the retired emperor would not say anything at this time.

However, he arranged for the Jinyiwei to go to the border to collect information. At the same time, as his doubts were not resolved, he began to ask his subordinates to know the reason. As a result, at this moment, his personal eunuch suddenly said.

"Your Majesty, I think I may know who will help us, and this matter may very well involve a secret of the dynasty."

His Majesty the Emperor was even more confused. Is there anything about the secrets of this dynasty or the Great Zhou Empire that he, as the Emperor, doesn't know? He even thought that this bastard was trying to trick him, but seeing his determined expression, he thought that there might really be something he didn't know, so he said unhappily.

"Just tell me what you know, don't keep me in suspense."
