Chapter 120: Fighting to the Imperial Capital
As a result, before the people he had sent to notify the towns had arrived, the King of Qi heard the urgent news from eight hundred miles away just after he finished his meal.
King Yun has begun to rebel and is attacking the towns on their side.
The general guarding the city came to report and asked the King of Qi to send soldiers to provide support.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? It is difficult for us to stop Prince Yun's current momentum, and there is no need to protect the emperor from disaster!"
The counselor beside the King of Qi asked anxiously.
The King of Qi looked ahead with a gloomy face. He thought he had enough time to deal with it.
But no one expected that King Yun would take action so quickly, and now his troops are at the gates of the city.
"Let them hold on for now. If Queen Yun has the ambition to become the empress and the ability to do so, then we can only go with the flow." King Qi sighed helplessly.
Although that's what I said, I still have to resist.
Let them know his abilities, otherwise they will have no say even if they just join him.
This matter requires long-term consideration, and he plans to discuss countermeasures with his advisers.
Everyone rushed to speak, and some advocated holding the city and waiting for reinforcements from the court.
Some suggested cooperating with King Yun to overthrow the court.
But some people also said that King Yun might not be able to accommodate them, but more people supported them to surrender now.
After all, King Yun couldn't just kill everyone directly, he would definitely need their help.
In this chaotic situation, the King of Qi was caught in a dilemma. Listening to the discussions of the crowd, he felt increasingly depressed.
Whichever path is chosen, it carries enormous risks and consequences.
Finally, after careful consideration, the King of Qi decided to keep his troops in place for the time being and observe how the situation develops.
At the same time, he sent people to the capital to report the news of Prince Yun's rebellion to the court and request the court to send reinforcements.
He couldn't let his people die here while the dog emperor didn't send any troops.
Just when the King of Qi was about to breathe a sigh of relief after the discussion had concluded and the order had been issued, he heard from his subordinates that King Yun's army had already attacked the second town.
The King of Qi's advisers had not yet left and also heard the news.
Everyone's face changed and they were shocked.
"what?"
The King of Qi widened his eyes in disbelief and his voice unconsciously rose.
"Didn't we just receive the news? Why are we attacking a second town so soon?"
He looked anxiously at the soldier who came to report from below, wanting to get an explanation.
But this was a letter from a soldier who was specifically responsible for reporting military intelligence, and coupled with the letter from the general defending the city, it was impossible for him to be wrong.
The counselors under the King of Qi looked at each other in disbelief.
One of them hesitated and asked, "Could it be... that it is so fast because of the help of the dragon?"
After these words were spoken, the expressions of the others became solemn.
The King of Qi was also panicked, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
At this rate, wouldn't they be here tomorrow?
He simply couldn't imagine, if King Yun's army really had the help of a dragon as the rumors said, would they still have a chance of winning?
Thinking of this, the King of Qi could no longer sit still and stood up and gave the order.
"Gather troops immediately and strengthen the defense of the city first."
However, just as the King of Qi was nervously deploying his defenses, things happened faster than he had imagined.
By the late night, King Yun's army had already arrived at the city gate where King Qi was.
The sky was still dark at this time, but the King of Qi and his advisers had already stood at the city gate, staring at the King of Yun's army outside the city.
"King Qi, surrender! There is no need to work for the emperor!"
Xie Chengnian's voice echoed in the air. After Su Anan's spiritual power enhanced her words, they spread throughout the city like thunder.
The people in the city had already noticed something unusual when the King of Qi was gathering his troops, and now they all came out of their homes to watch.
When they heard Xie Chengnian's cry, they couldn't help but talk about it.
The King of Qi's face turned pale, but he also knew that with the Golden Dragon around, King Yun would become emperor sooner or later. But by then, he might not even be able to be crowned king. Of course, he had to fight for the benefits he should fight for now.
The King of Qi immediately shouted, "King Yun, let's sit down and talk!"
However, his voice was not blessed by spiritual power, so only he and the soldiers around him could hear it.
He was just about to send an envoy to negotiate with King Yun.
At this moment, a glittering golden dragon suddenly flew out from King Yun’s army and hovered over the city.
As soon as the golden dragon appeared, all the people in the city knelt down, even the King of Qi was no exception.
"Are you guys the ones who stopped King Yun from becoming emperor?"
Su Anan imitated the angry tone of the big golden dragon and roared directly at the people in the venue.
Her voice was accompanied by bursts of thunder and lightning, lighting up the entire sky.
When the dragon gets angry, who dares to stop it?
The people in the entire city were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, hoping to be forgiven by the dragon.
The King of Qi was even more terrified, especially when he saw that the lightning was about to strike him directly.
Moreover, the dragon was blazing with rage, and its eyes were fixed on the King of Qi, as if it wanted to devour him.
"Quick, quick, quick, open the city gate for me and lower the flag for me. Whoever dares to stop King Yun from becoming emperor will be against me." The King of Qi shouted again hurriedly.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry." The King of Qi urged again.
There was no need for the King of Qi to shout any more, as his soldiers quickly lowered the flags and ran to open the city gates.
The soldiers under the King of Qi were afraid that they would offend the dragon if they were slow.
This is a dragon!
If we offend the dragon because we are slow to act, what if our descendants are targeted in the future?
In addition, the King of Qi had already surrendered, so they were allowed to open the city gates.
These soldiers are very active, just to make a good impression on Shenlong and King Yun.
So, relying on the golden dragon that Su Anan transformed with her spiritual power, they took over all the fiefdoms of King Qi without bloodshed.
The people in the fiefdom lined the streets to welcome him.
After the King of Qi's fiefdom was successfully conquered, Xie Chengnian originally planned to let his army rest for a while.
However, unexpectedly, the troops did not intend to stop and rest.
On the contrary, they are in a state of extreme excitement at the moment.
None of them actually fought anyone and spent most of their time rushing along.
Also, because there were large trucks carrying these soldiers, they were either resting or listening to the Chinese soldiers imparting knowledge in the vehicles.
Coupled with their inner excitement and knowing that the Golden Dragon was coming to help them, they became even more excited and did not want to rest.
Faced with such high morale among his men, Xie Chengnian only left some people to take over the affairs of the city.
As for the King of Qi and his forces, they could only be kept under temporary custody to prevent them from causing trouble in the next battle.
Also, take a look at whether the people under the King of Qi can continue to be used.
After all, now is a time of shortage of manpower!
With the help of Su Anan's magic dragon and modern weapons, the group reached the imperial capital of Yan State in just 10 days and surrounded the imperial capital.
The reason it took them so long to reach the imperial capital was not because they were blocked by soldiers sent by the emperor along the way.
They were so slow because the roads in ancient times were difficult to travel on.
The capital was already in chaos. When the emperor learned of Prince Yun's rebellion, he was horrified and immediately ordered the dispatch of troops to suppress it.
But how could it be possible to succeed? Now all those soldiers have already belonged to King Yun.
Compared to the emperor, the people are more willing to believe in a empress chosen by the dragon to be the emperor.
Then life won’t be as starving as it is now.
When Su Anan and his men reached the imperial capital, the modern world had also undergone earth-shaking changes.
