Chapter 278: Take A Step Back And The World Will Be Brighter?
After all, there are no difficulties that cannot be solved by war.
Especially when Mo Qi dares to lose if it dares to fight Nan Qi.
Therefore, instead of trying their best to destroy Southern Qi in one wave, the demon lords in the past generations always had the idea of cutting the flesh with a dull knife.
Gradually cede territory and compensate for the city, slowly press down, and one day it will be easily destroyed.
But in recent years, Mo Qi can't stand it anymore.
Why is it that as this war continues, the internal conflicts become more intense?
At first glance, it turns out that Southern Qi has a great general who has won many battles and won many battles.
According to further digging, this person was also a general before, but he was not so exaggerated.
After disappearing for more than ten years and then coming back again, it was like he had an epiphany.
In twenty years, he fought three hundred battles, big and small, and won them all.
A true victory in every battle.
Moreover, he was the only Southern Qi general who sent troops to block the pass.
Mo Qi had long realized that this person was a big threat and had to be eliminated.
But Mo Qi was in chaos, and it was not that easy to deploy troops and generals.
After the defeat of the five kings and hundreds of thousands of troops, Mo Qi was in depression for more than ten years, recuperating and reorganizing his army to prepare for all-out war.
Now, stimulated by the divine general Tiance, all-out war is coming.
…
Yongle Imperial City, above the court hall.
The ministers looked at each other.
The Demon Lord issued a national war document, which was the first time in hundreds of years.
Demonic clouds covered the sky for thousands of miles, and the sky was dark, pressing down towards Nan Qi.
Emperor Qi sat high on the dragon chair, his face under the bead curtain was pale, and his hands holding the dragon chair were trembling.
He boasts that he has been walking on thin ice all his life, struggling to maintain the Southern Qi world. Seeing that the situation is about to become clear, is this kind of decline inevitable?
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
He could not imagine any situation where Nan Qi would be destroyed in his own hands, whether it was the imperial power that he coveted or the heroic soul of the late emperor in the underground.
Emperor Qi looked in a daze, and Li Yuanqing was also in a daze.
He was thinking that the throne probably had nothing to do with him anymore.
The demon army marched southward across the country, with a tendency to fight to the death.
The situation that was originally relatively relaxed suddenly entered the stage of national war.
In times of war, the importance of military power will expand infinitely.
It can be expected that in the weak Southern Qi, General Tiance will be the only hope and the only designated war commander.
As long as the situation does not collapse completely, let alone counterattack Mo Qi, as long as the situation can be stabilized, Tiance God General will be supported by the soldiers and civilians of Southern Qi as a god-given hero.
At that time, my father, who knows how to assess the situation and "concern public opinion" best, will definitely take advantage of the situation and make his second brother the crown prince.
By then, all the power I have will probably be gone...
The father and son had different ideas, and the important officials in the court had different opinions.
Some people panicked, some cried bitterly, some wanted to retreat, and some imagined that God Tiance would lead them to turn defeat into victory.
The whip-wielding eunuch blew his whip more than once to signal the ministers to be quiet, but to no avail.
In the chaos, Li Yuanqing saw the eyes his father cast on him from time to time, and the hints in them.
Li Yuanqing thought for a long time, and finally sighed secretly and took a step forward.
"Father, now the Demon Lord is here in person. The Demon Clan's heavy troops have broken through Zijingguan and occupied Huizhou. They are about to approach Tianhe City and want to go straight to the Imperial City."
"My son suggested moving the capital to avoid the demonic attack and protect the country's key points. We will make further plans later."
Emperor Qi's face softened slightly. He first said that the prince's words were reasonable, and then asked the ministers if they had any other countermeasures.
Hearing what he said, the ministers who had just shed tears or were silent began to speak one after another. The trend of the conversation changed and they all said that moving the capital was feasible.
Some even think that since the imperial city is going to be moved, then take away whatever you can and burn all the grain and rice from Yuanzhou where the imperial city is located, leaving no money or food for the demons!
His expression was upright and his words were passionate, as if he was going to lead his troops to kill the millions of demons.
The court, which was still arguing just now, soon decided to move the capital.
Not only must the capital be moved, but everything that cannot be taken away must be burned.
As for Huizhou that has not yet been completely destroyed, the dangerous Tianhe City that has not yet been conquered, and Yuanzhou where the imperial capital is now located.
In his words, he actually wanted to let them all go without fighting in order to extend the demon army's front line!
As the divine general of Tiance and the so-called military god of the Qi Dynasty, Li Guanting spoke many times, and his voice was immediately drowned in the crowd.
No one paid any attention!
Southern Qi's great victory over the years seems like an empty talk!
Everyone was talking excitedly, as if they were discussing something great.
Some officials mentioned the first emperor of Southern Qi after the split of Northern and Southern Qi, and there was no shortage of sighs and blames in his words.
——If you ask me, Emperor Yong should not have settled on Yongle because of "going north". Bai Bai was about to burn the capital at this time. Isn’t Ding’an City in Anzhou in the south good? It's much safer than here, and the demon army can't defeat it no matter what.
…
[In the year 1598 of the Qi calendar, the demon lord declared war on Southern Qi, and the demon army fully invaded Southern Qi. 】
[One million demonic troops marched south. Among them, the demon lord personally commanded more than half a million troops. They destroyed Zijingguan in an instant, intending to go straight to Huanglong. 】
[The Emperor of Qi was frightened and hinted to his officials. 】
[After some discussion in the court, it was decided to abandon Huizhou and Yuanzhou and move the capital away from Yongle Imperial City and move south to Dingzhou and Ding'an City. 】
[Seeing that Emperor Qi and his ministers have decided to leave, not only are they not ashamed, but they are glad to avoid the war, you are shocked and angry. 】
【Then it was decided...】
[A. Let nature take its course B. Echo C. Angrily rebuke the court D. Intervene personally]
Chen Ming took a breath.
Even with his experience, he never expected that such a period would exist.
Before the enemy army arrived, he was already so scared that he wanted to burn the imperial capital and move the capital south. Is that okay?
Where to place the majesty of the imperial court? Where will the people of the world be placed?
The situation is now clear.
Emperor Qi was extremely cowardly and wanted to escape.
The officials below have no intention of fighting, and some people have even begun to prepare drafts, thinking about how to beautify the move of the capital.
In such a situation, whoever comes forward will be the target of public criticism.
Because brave and loyal people will expose all the hypocrisy of cowardly people.
It's already dark, so it's even more difficult to see the sun.
Therefore, "The whole world is turbid and I alone am pure; the world is drunk and I alone am awake" is followed by the four words "This is how I see it."
If he takes a step forward, he will slap everyone in the face, especially Emperor Qi's face.
When hypocritical and cowardly people have their masks ripped off, they will become extremely hysterical and extremely angry.
Anyone who raised objections at this time would be jealous of Emperor Qi.
Tiance Divine General? That's even more so.
If you do this, wouldn't it make me look more cowardly and useless?
Even with Li Guanting's power, taking one step forward would mean betrayal and separation.
But what about moving back?
Take a step back, the sky is brighter.
