Chapter 229: The Incompetent Emperor of Ming
Under Jiang Chen's arrangement, Han Zhong and Du Mingyu led 30,000 Tiger and Leopard Battalions to Juyu Pass.
With Han Zhong's departure, Lingbei County was handed over to Li Yuanyi, who was led by 10,000 new troops to garrison.
Seeing Han Zhong and Du Mingyu coming with a large army, Xiong Kehui quickly notified King Jin.
After hearing that the people coming were under the banner of Jiang Chen, King Jin did not stop them from entering the pass.
Moreover, the prince came to the checkpoint in person to greet the two of them.
Just when Han Zhong and Du Mingyu, who were waiting outside the pass, were getting impatient.
The gate of Juyu Pass slowly opened, and then Xiong Kehui came in front of the two men with a team of cavalry guarding the King of Jin.
"You are the subordinates of General Zhenbei!?"
Looking at the 30,000 elite Tiger and Leopard Camp soldiers behind Han Zhong and Du Mingyu, King Jin couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"That's right. We are here on the orders of our general to help His Majesty."
As a qualified general, Han Zhong and Du Mingyu had already seen Xiong Kehui following this man respectfully .
He recognized the identity of King Jin and respectfully performed the Xia military salute to him.
"Haha, then I'll have to trouble you two. Kehui, give the orders."
"Open the gate and welcome the two generals to lead their troops into the pass!"
When Xiong Kehui, who was following behind Prince Jin, heard this, he immediately bowed and took the order and left.
Soon, the gate of Juyu Pass opened wide.
Under the guidance of Prince Jin, Han Zhong, Du Mingyu and the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Camp entered Juyu Pass.
As Han Zhong and Du Mingyu led their troops into Juyu Pass, a total of 89,000 troops were now stationed at this mighty pass!
This news was soon passed on to the two generals of the coalition forces by the spies of Qi and Ming in the Xia army.
Qi general Le Bo looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but frown.
Looking at Le Bo's gloomy expression, the Ming general Chang Yuchun said with disdain.
"Why, are you so worried about just 80,000 people!?"
"Damn it, look at the mess you Qi people are in!"
"If you don't dare, just raise your butt. I will lead this siege!"
As he spoke, Chang Yuchun rolled his eyes at Le Bo.
Faced with Chang Yuchun's ridicule, Le Bo did not argue with him.
Instead, he spoke to Chang Yuchun in a very calm manner.
"General Chang, I know you fight very bravely and have almost never been defeated."
"But don't forget what we are facing now."
"In addition to the 89,000 troops inside the pass, there is also the King of Jin who has been suppressing the border of Xia for more than ten years!"
After saying this, Le Bo couldn't help but recall the memories of when he was still an ordinary soldier.
At that time, he was still an ordinary soldier.
Although he was not assigned to attack the Kingdom of Xia, he had personally seen the troops returning home after fighting with the King of Jin.
Until now, he could not forget the comrades who had lost their arms and hands.
It can be said that the northern border, guarded by King Jin, has been under the control of the state for more than ten years.
It has become a nightmare for the border soldiers of Qi and Ming!
Now, even though Le Bo has become a famous general of Qi.
When facing King Jin, it is inevitable to feel some fear in your heart.
As for this guy Chang Yuchun, he had also heard of the reputation of King Jin.
However, this guy was born into a noble family and had never seen how powerful the King of Jin was.
Therefore, he did not take King Jin seriously at all.
Besides, in his opinion.
Today, Xia is the weakest country among the seven countries.
No matter how powerful the King of Jin is, without the support of national strength, how can he resist the joint invasion of Qi and Ming!
Looking at Chang Yuchun who didn't care at all, Le Bo sighed helplessly.
I don't know how this guy became a famous general of the Ming Dynasty. He only has martial arts skills...
Just as Le Bo was somewhat worried about the direction of this war.
Far away in the Ming Kingdom’s capital city - Jijing.
The entire Jijing city was revived because Chang Yuchun successfully fought his way to Juyu Pass of the Xia Kingdom.
This is the first time in more than ten years that the Ming Kingdom has reached here!
To celebrate this event, Emperor Ming Zhu Qizhen excitedly held a banquet.
At the banquet, Zhu Qizhen praised .
"Hahaha, General Chang is truly a blessing to our Ming nation!"
"More than ten years, since I ascended the throne."
"Our Ming Kingdom has never invaded the territory of Xia Kingdom. This time we have finally avenged our previous humiliation!"
Zhu Qizhen said this while laughing happily.
The officials sitting at the table saw that Zhu Qizhen was very pleased and they all flattered him.
However, just when all the officials were trying their best to please Zhu Qizhen.
An official in a blue official uniform stood up with a stern expression and walked in front of Zhu Qizhen.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
Zhu Qizhen, who was being praised by a group of ministers and was very happy, glanced at the official with some confusion when he heard it.
"Yu Yanyi, I'm happy today. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Although I am curious about what Yu Yanyi will say.
But as an emperor, Zhu Qizhen still waved his hand pretending to be calm.
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, attacking the Xia Kingdom is an unwise move!"
"What's more, General Chang Yuchun has never fought against the King of Jin of Xia."
"I'm afraid that General Chang Yuchun, who has always been arrogant and proud of his talent, will be defeated by that person."
"Therefore, I dare to ask the emperor to replace General Chang Yuchun!"
As Yu Yanyi said this, Zhu Qizhen's face changed drastically.
As soon as Yu Yanyi finished speaking, Zhu Qizhen angrily threw the wine glass in front of Yu Yanyi.
The officials who had previously tried to cheer Zhu Qizhen up were now glaring at Yu Yanyi.
"Well, you are so kind, Master Yu. It seems that I have always been too kind to you!"
"To the point that you dare to speak so arrogantly on such an important occasion!"
Zhu Qizhen stared at Yu Yanyi with his narrow eyes and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, what I said was not nonsense!"
"General Chang Yuchun has always been arrogant because of his talent, you know that!"
Yu Yanyi was not afraid of Zhu Qizhen's authority and insisted on his own opinion loudly.
Seeing that Yu Yanyi refused to change his words, Zhu Qizhen's anger reached its peak.
"Someone, throw Yu Yanyi into the prison!"
As soon as Zhu Qizhen finished speaking, two guards in golden armor walked in.
Then, Yu Yanyi was pulled up from the left and right.
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true."
"If you insist on doing it your own way, my Ming country will be in great trouble!"
Before being dragged out of the hall by the guards, Yu Yanyi still shouted at Zhu Qizhen unwillingly.
Listening to Yu Yanyi's words, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhu Qizhen's eyes.
Just like that, this originally lively and noisy banquet ended with Zhu Qizhen feeling unhappy.
