Night Emperor Crazy Concubine

Chapter 310
The Qinglan Kingdom was broken, and Qinglan's royal family members and a group of important officials were temporarily detained in one place. The New Year's Eve was approaching, and the King of War ordered all soldiers to camp in Qinglan Palace City and rest for two days.

Delicate imperial meals reward the hard work of soldiers.

The accompanying military doctors treated the wounded soldiers in the palace. The war against Qinglan and Donghua was half over so far. The 20 elite soldiers and cavalry under the King of War lost only a few hundred people, and the serious injuries were no more than a few hundred. A mere thousand people.

For any brutal war, these casualties are so light that they are almost negligible.

As for the casualties, the King of War directly reported to the heavens in the battle report. Before the New Year's Eve, the emperor decreed to give the family members the greatest degree of compensation.

Feng Cang's people's hearts were boiling, and the soldiers of the whole army became even more imposing.

Two days later, the King of War reorganized his troops and issued a battle card to Donghua who was already panicked.

When Ye Lintian received the post sent by the minister, his face was ashen. He has been restless for the past few days like an ant on a hot pot. What about people?"

"He rode a fast horse and sent the battle post directly to the minister's mansion." The middle-aged minister replied tremblingly, "Then he just dropped a sentence, fearing that His Majesty... fearing that His Majesty would become angry from embarrassment, and under fear and anxiety, he would directly kill He vented his anger, so I entrusted the minister to deliver this post."

He didn't dare to say that when that person spoke, the tone of sarcasm and sarcasm simply regarded their emperor as a cowardly and cowardly person, and when he said that his majesty would not be able to bear the fright and anger and kill him, he specifically mentioned being The envoy of Donghua who was killed by Empress Fengcang with a cane, that defiant tone, the undisguised sarcasm in the words and demeanor, made people want to vomit blood with anger.

Ye Lintian was furious, and with a snap, he threw the battle post down the steps.

"Come here!" He roared angrily, "Let An Liufeng and Mu Xuanqing come and see me immediately!"

"Yes!"

The guards took orders.

Ye Lintian suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and paced in the hall with his hands behind his back.

"Are the defenders everywhere ready to fight?"

"Back to the emperor, the city defenders are ready." An old official bowed and said with a dignified expression, "But Qinglan's speed of destroying the country so quickly shocked people and disturbed the city defenders everywhere. The morale of the army has been greatly reduced, I am afraid that the few cities near Qinglan will hardly be able to resist Feng Cang's 20 cavalry."

The elite soldiers under the King of War were not scary at first, but they took the initiative and destroyed Qing Lan in such a short period of time, which undoubtedly boosted the morale of those soldiers. The demeanor gave these soldiers a sense of pride in fighting for the king.

In contrast, Donghua's morale has plummeted, and what is particularly fatal is that the army's horses and equipment have not yet been implemented.

The result of such a battle with disparity in strength is almost predictable.

Hearing these words, Ye Lintian's face became even more ugly.

Half an hour later, Donghua's two most powerful generals, An Liufeng and Mu Xuanqingqi, appeared in the main hall. After saluting respectfully, they stood aside.

"How are you preparing for the battle?" Ye Lintian asked in a deep voice, trying to suppress the impatience in his heart, maintaining the demeanor of a king of a country.

However, everyone present could tell that His Majesty had pinned all his hopes on the two generals in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses guarding the imperial city are ready." An Liufeng replied respectfully, "But the city guards in various states are obviously not the opponent of King Feng Cang. Reinforcements must be sent in."

But it is useless to send reinforcements right now.

Because there are no horses.

A few days ago, tens of thousands of war horses were lost, Ye Lintian ordered the Ministry of War to urgently deal with the purchase of war horses, just to deal with Feng Cang's soldiers and horses, but the war horse family that had business dealings with the imperial court in the past unexpectedly disappeared by coincidence.

The household department allocated millions of taels of silver, but did not buy a war horse.

This incident is obviously weird and people have to think about it.

Ye Lintian naturally knew about such things, and was even more angry and suspicious, but now, what's the use of having more doubts?
A soldier without a horse, no matter how brave he is, how can he be an opponent of Feng Cang's iron cavalry?
Even if it goes to the battlefield, it's just adding human shields.

"Send troops from the imperial city to support. If Fengcang's army breaks into Donghua's territory like breaking through Qinglan City, the imperial capital will also be in danger." The old prime minister frowned, his expression hard to hide his worry. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"The enemy army has already arrived in front of my eyes, and they just missed pointing at my nose and yelling, how can I think twice?" Ye Lintian reprimanded coldly, then turned to look at the two generals standing aside, "An General, General Mu, I order you to lead the east and west battalions of [-] soldiers, each of you to intercept, and unite with the Dingzhou and Lingzhou city guards to drive out Feng Cang's soldiers and horses! General Mu is responsible for guarding the imperial city and vows to die! Guard Donghua's territory well, and never allow foreign enemies to invade Donghua's territory!"

"The minister leads the order!"

An Liufeng and Mu Xuanqing knelt down on one knee at the same time, received the order respectfully, got up and left.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War." Ye Lintian looked coldly at another old official in the hall, and said sharply, "The money from the Ministry of Households has been allocated for more than half a month, why has there been no horses yet? What are the imperial merchants doing? Now that the country is in trouble, Are they all going to be shrinking turtles?!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War and the two servants hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your servant should die—"

"You really deserve to die!" Ye Lintian looked cold and angry, with a gloomy and murderous look in his eyes, "Those royal merchant families were recommended by you, and I trust you so much that I entrusted all the business related to the war to them Do it, and the result? Is this how you treat my trust?! I tell you, if the Donghua territory is not protected, you will be heinous sinners!"

After the lingering sound fell, Ye Lintian kicked angrily and mercilessly, "Damn it! Damn it!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War was kicked down, and he got up tremblingly and knelt down, kowtowed in fear, "I will be convicted! I will be convicted!"

The old prime minister silently watched the scene in front of him, expressionless, without saying a word.

The Ministry of War did have dereliction of duty, but if they are heinous sinners, what is the emperor himself?
As a monarch, the civil strife has just subsided, and it is time for all things to be done, to implement benevolent policies to benefit the people, and to establish prestige, but he disregarded the dissuasion of his courtiers, listened to outsiders' slander, and took the initiative to raise troops to cross Qinglan, and he coveted and offended Empress Fengcang. Heart.

Donghua's results today are the result of the king's unreasonable and unruly behavior, which brought disaster to the country.
