The Crown Prince I’m Raising Has Turned Evil

Chapter 224 A Spark in the Smoke

Xie Linlang still didn't believe it after reading it for the first time. She got up and walked to the candle and read the short sentence three times. Suddenly she felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe.

Isn't this funny? ! With less than 80,000 troops, Qin Jue stopped three attacks by the 150,000 troops of the Nuo Kingdom. It can be seen that as long as he is given enough manpower, it is only a matter of time before he defeats the Nuo Kingdom!

And Zeguo's side is just pressing the border and has not launched an attack. As for being afraid of being so afraid of surrendering without a fight? !

Xie Linlang was so angry that she couldn't steady herself, and her head became dizzy.

But after all, she has lived and died several times in this era, and she is no longer in the careless state she was in her previous life. The more difficult the situation, the more calm she must be, because only by being calm can she find a way out.

Thinking like this, she paced back and forth on the ground with bare feet, trying to use the cold air to wake herself up.

The secret guard on the side looked at it and hesitated to speak. Finally, he couldn't help but speak.

"Lord City Lord, the Master once warned us that if he is not here, he must keep an eye on you, such as eating on time, and...not walking on the ground barefoot."

Xie Linlang didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. Is this the time to talk about this now? The imperial court is about to withdraw its troops. Even if she is sick, it is still because of her anger!

However, the secret guard's words still gave Xie Linlang some comfort. She was not fighting alone. Even if everyone in the court betrayed her, she still had Qin Jue.

The secret guard saw that she had calmed down, and then reported the rest of the bad news in a low voice.

"Lord City Lord, there are three main reasons why the imperial court would issue such an order.

First, at the same time as the urgent message from the border defense, there was also a request for war from the Zeguo Army. This time, Zeguo sent 200,000 land troops and 100,000 naval troops to suppress the battle at the same time. His Majesty alone did not have enough troops to resist the battle. "

"Second, the rear of the Nuo Kingdom will add another 100,000 troops to the western battlefield, and the imperial court's 200,000 reinforcements have not yet arrived. With less than 80,000 troops stationed in the west, in the imperial court's view, they cannot sustain the arrival of the reinforcements."

“Third, the opinions in the court were one-sided, with only a very small number of people taking the lead.

Originally, most of them were engaged in the main battle, because only the Swamp Kingdom was not sufficient as a base. But now, the Ze Kingdom has also joined the war camp and plans to launch attacks from both land and water at the same time. For Da Qin, this is equivalent to being attacked on three sides.

Therefore, most of the people in the court were afraid. Some people took the opportunity to encourage the emperor and suggested that the emperor narrow the battle circle. For example, the western garrison could be transferred back to Qianlong, the southern army could be transferred back to Jiangnan, and the eastern garrison could be transferred back to Bianzhou. In this way, all the troops would return , they can form a unified defense, and the capital as the center point will be extra safe. "

"But doing this means losing half of the Qin Dynasty!" Xie Linlang sat on the bedside with a calm expression, feeling both understanding and ridicule.

From a human perspective, the higher the position of power, the more afraid of death. However, all the power is in the hands of these people who are afraid of death, so they feel that there is no chance of winning, and it is normal to make such a decision.

It doesn’t matter whether the people die or not, as long as they don’t die.

No matter whether other places will be affected by the war, as long as the richest place and the capital remain, they can still enjoy the glory and wealth.

This made Xie Linlang feel a deep sense of powerlessness. She had experienced a lot over the years and had advanced knowledge and knowledge. She originally thought that there would be nothing in this world that could defeat her, but she didn't expect that there would be. , that is the pig teammate!

It was obvious that there were definitely traitors from the Ze Kingdom or the Marsh Kingdom instigating the imperial court. They took advantage of the aristocratic family's weakness of fear of death and beguiled them, forcing them to force the emperor to make such a decision.

Anyway, as long as the emperors of the iron-clad aristocratic family protect their own interests, they can continue to prosper even if the country changes dynasties.

Therefore, they can choose not to unite with Da Qin and not provide help to help the emperor tide over the difficulties. Maybe many of them are waiting to change the emperor now.

Who told the emperor to always be against the noble family?

After this war, if the Qin Dynasty was still there, they could force the emperor to abdicate, because he lost half of the country, even if they were instigated by fear of death.

If the Qin Dynasty is gone, they will separate some of their interests to win over the new master. As long as they unite, the new master who has just ascended the throne will not dare to do anything to them, and they can still continue to be rich.

This is really... an interpretation of human selfishness to the extreme.

Xie Linlang thought and rubbed her forehead with a headache.

After a long time, she asked in a low voice, "What is the emperor's attitude? The family encouraged the emperor to retreat, and then he retreated in fear of death?"

The secret guard paused and replied, "The emperor's attitude was rather vague. In the beginning, he was a staunch warrior. Even if he died in battle, he would never retreat. He even wanted to lead the expedition himself.

But... Later, after the lobbying of all the aristocratic families, he hesitated again. In addition, it was suddenly reported that the concubine was pregnant and had a son in old age, which also touched him. After the enthusiasm faded, his attitude became very vague. "

Xie Linlang twitched the corner of her mouth, wanting to say something humane, but she couldn't.

What the emperor did was a normal reaction that an ordinary person would have when encountering this.

But being in that position, being ordinary and normal is often the original sin!

Xie Linlang stopped thinking about him and asked again while pressing her forehead.

"This order has now been issued to the garrison camps of all parties?"

The secret guard said "Yes", "Some have already arrived, and some will probably arrive tomorrow."

"So there are no reinforcements?"

"Yes, all troops will be called back and stationed in the more prosperous cities around the capital. After receiving the news, the garrison should start to withdraw soon."

This is really bad news all around!

But in a daze, Xie Linlang suddenly remembered that the commander-in-chief of the southern garrison was Prince Xiao's uncle...

She stood up suddenly, walked hurriedly to the small study room next door, then unfolded the letter paper and began to write a letter.

The secret guard didn't know what she was going to do, but seeing Xie Linlang escape from the blow so quickly, even though the court had given up, she still didn't give up. At this moment, the respect in his heart was even greater!

To be honest, after hearing such news, even though they were all secret guards who did not need too much emotion of their own, they were still extremely disappointed with the court's actions!

The power of this huge country is actually in the hands of a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They have failed the people's worship and trust, and all of them should die to apologize!

Similarly, this also shows that the roots of Da Qin are rotten. Not only has the character been lost long ago, but now even the backbone is no longer needed.

Can Da Qin be saved? Is it still necessary to save it?

But after seeing Xie Linlang and thinking about his master, the secret guard felt that Da Qin's character was still there.

They are like sparks of fire, shining in the darkness filled with gunpowder smoke. As long as they are still there, there is still hope for everything!
