Chapter 1493 Xiang Lintian!
The people of the city were panicked. Since the front line had sent back such a war report, it must be impossible to hide it. The actual situation may be more serious than this!
Soon, the urgent report came again.
Our army has less than 200,000 troops remaining. Hengguo has been completely occupied by the enemy, so he has no choice but to retreat to Pingguo.
Judging from this situation, it has collapsed across the board.
All kinds of rumors spread everywhere.
Everyone's eyes were turned to the palace. How should we deal with this crisis?
The emergency reports on the front line disrupted the normal rhythm and order.
Recently, Shouchun has been taking charge of one thing, that is, the emperor's ceremony of establishing the empress.
A country cannot have a king for a day, nor can it have a descendant for a day.
Today, the Chu Emperor Xiang Lintian succeeded to the throne. He just succeeded to the throne and encountered the battle between Qi and Chu. Finally, he ended and a new war came. Therefore, the matter of establishing the queen has been stranded.
Now it's on the agenda.
However, the origin of the queen is unknown, quite mysterious, and has never been announced. She only knows that her country is beautiful and has a beautiful face. She is the number one beauty in the world...
According to the established plan, the war will be held when the battle is clear and the victory is set, but now such a thing has happened.
The public was frightened, which also shocked the entire government and the country.
Officials from all departments and positions were hurried and looked solemn, running back and forth, some heading to the palace and some heading to the yamen, but in any case it was in chaos!
The palace also lost its peace of the past and the atmosphere changed!
"How could this happen? How could this happen? Is Hengguo a bottomless pit? Why can't he fill up even if there are many troops!"
In the magnificent hall, a man in a dragon robe was furious!
He wore a purple gold crown with hair tied up on his head, his eyes were like a phoenix, his eyebrows were like a lying silkworm, his lips were square, his forehead was wide, his head was flat, his skin was full, his slender, tall but not rough figure was extremely tall against the backdrop of the dragon robe!
His face gives people the feeling that he is born with a dragon face, with an emperor's appearance and an emperor's aura!
He is the emperor of today's Great Chu, Xiang Lintian!
It is said that when he was born, there was thunder and the earth showed signs. He was caught by his father at a glance and named him, Lin Tian!
It means that when he grows up, he can directly rule the world!
He was first born and was made the crown prince.
He directly determined his position as crown prince, and the old Emperor Chu has been training him. After his death, he successfully inherited the throne.
However, in fact, he was not in Shouchun for many years, but traveled to various vassal states. During this period, he established good relations with many vassal states. This is why, when he succeeded to the throne, he was supported and there was no rebellion of vassal states.
From a long time ago, he started to make arrangements and laid the foundation for his succession!
Although he succeeded to the throne, he quickly took control of the court situation and there was no major change. He said nothing.
Therefore, when he got angry, the courtiers below were frightened and did not dare to make any noise.
Xiang Lintian lost his composure!
This is the first time since he ascended the throne that he was so angry in front of all the ministers!
Like the Chinese, he did not have much concern about this war. The difference in military strength between the two sides was not a small matter.
In terms of size, it is also very different.
He also has three allies, namely Wei, Wu and Ba.
So, he was not surprised by the outcome of this battle!
At first, more than one million troops of the five major princes hoarded the border to fight. These five princes were the five largest princes in the western part of the Chu State, and they formed a group due to geographical location, which was a great threat to the central government.
Yes, after he succeeded to the throne, Xiang Lintian was motivated to change the Chu State political system, abolish the feudal system, change the county and strengthen centralization.
This idea came into being when he was the crown prince.
But he never showed this intention positively.
The essence of abolishing the feudal system is to abolish the princes, which cannot be accomplished in just one sentence.
Earlier, a Emperor of Chu took tough measures to abolish the princes, but when he started, he faced considerable resistance, which caused the alliance of various vassal states to counterattack. That time, the royal family almost changed hands.
These are all lessons learned.
So he never mentioned it, but he was doing it secretly.
With the help of war, the power of the vassal states is consumed, and this is a chance.
So in the early stage, he kept suppressing the battle between Qi and Chu, and the court did not send large-scale reinforcements.
The same is true this time.
He thought that it would be enough to have five princes, including King Heng and King Ping, and then he sent reinforcements to win in one fell swoop.
However, there were significant deviations.
The first wave of attacks was a major defeat in the early stage, but that time, it concealed the people, so he quickly sent reinforcements over.
It was only a short time, but it was obviously more thorough this time!
"Why? You said!"
"That's a million reinforcements!"
Xiang Lintian yelled.
As the emperor, he was very clear about the situation in the country.
The years of battle between Qi and Chu have consumed a lot. These two major defeats have lost nearly two million troops, which is unbearable for the Chu State and overwhelmed!
In fact, we are now holding on with huge forces, and are also accompanied by huge logistical pressure.
The economy of Chu State was not developed.
Crisis, it has reached a very critical moment, even he feels at a loss...
"Tell me, what should I do?"
Xiang Lintian came to a kneeling minister.
"I think that I should wait until the news is confirmed before making plans. Normally, this is impossible."
The minister Vino said.
"Bang!"
Xiang Lintian kicked him directly and kicked him four times.
"You idiot, do Dugu Xin still dare to conceal and lie about such things?"
"Yes, your Majesty!"
The minister hurriedly got up and did not dare to neglect the slightest.
"Waste, all waste!"
Xiang Lintian cursed angrily.
"You all retreat and discuss a strategic plan as soon as possible, how to deal with it, and where should the troops come from?"
At this time, a man spoke. He was the only person in the entire hall who stood besides Emperor Chu Xiang Lintian.
He looks middle-aged and wears an ordinary long gown, giving him a sense of elegance like a literati.
He is the chief minister of Chu State, Ji Wuchang!
Obviously, his words also had a certain authority, which made all the ministers get up and leave in a hurry...
There were only two people left in the hall.
Ji Wuchang said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, you will be in trouble."
"How about not being in a hurry?"
After venting, Xiang Lintian calmed down a little.
"Who could have thought that something like this would happen? It's simply..."
"Yes, who could have thought of it?"
Ji Wuchang said, "If I had known that I would have been in Tianshan then, I would have killed Wang Kang, and it would not have become such a big disaster now..."
