"What did you say?"

"Only more than 40,000 of the 150,000-strong army escaped. Grand Master Benya Shili was also captured by Shuo Ren?"

"Fifty thousand versus 150,000, that's 150,000 pigs. It will take them several days to catch up!"

"You were defeated with just one charge?"

The queen suddenly stood up from her seat and asked with disbelief.

"Shuoren, the great master of Shuoren hid in the cavalry. He took advantage of the unpreparedness of several masters and secretly attacked and killed them all. The grand master and grand master were not able to escape from him!"

"That person is a devil and the enemy of Changshengtian! Ahhh!"

Chen Qingzhi's murderous figure was like a nightmare, and the fugitives screamed in fear when they thought of it.

He Lianchang received the Queen's signal and raised his knife to give the fleeing soldiers a good blow.

"Have all those deserters been controlled?"

The king watched expressionlessly as the body of the escaped soldier was dragged down, and he frowned tiredly and asked the guard.

"After returning to the king, there were too many deserters. We only controlled a small part of them, and the rest fled into the city."

The guard carefully chose his words and sentences, fearing that if he were not careful, he would anger the angry queen.

"So the news of the defeat on the front line has spread throughout the city?"

The queen slumped back on the chair, her bright eyes full of bloodshot eyes.

She had thought about the great victory of the Beirong, turned around and invaded the southern land, thought about the tragic victory of Nanshuo, and was unable to continue the Northern Expedition, but she never thought that the Rong people would lose so completely.

Only 40,000 of the 150,000 soldiers and cavalry returned. What could the Beirong, who were not good at defending the city, rely on to withstand the 600,000-strong army of Shuo that was about to approach the city?

Misfortunes never come singly. Here, the queen was still pursed lips, thinking about Beirong's retreat, but someone over there had already come to the door angrily.

“Wise kings can’t live without a queen—”

With a scream of pain, several tall soldiers walked into the hall, not hiding the anger on their faces.

"Tu Qilan clan, look at the good deeds you have done, and that good-for-nothing Benya Shili. My good man from Dayong was all killed by you two idiots!"

Yanshi means princess.

It's just that the queen admired Shuo Guo's elegance, so she asked people around her to call herself the queen.

Now King Zuo Xian calls Tu Qilan's family directly, and he no longer wants to give any face to his widowed sister-in-law.

"Baht Lou Quyi, do you want to accuse me now? You agreed with me when we attacked Shuo Ren together."

"If you have the ability, you should come up with a solution. I will become Shuo's slave if you are wasted like this!"

The queen just glanced at the other party and said coldly.

King Xian and the two King Guli were both present. She knew that things would be difficult to resolve today, so she simply did not give them a good look.

"Humph, I want to be a Rong King, not a lonely Rong King."

Baht Lou Quyi sneered.

What Queen Lingjun didn't expect was that King Zuo Xian came this time not to force her youngest son to abdicate.

"As of now, there are only two ways."

What was even more unexpected to the Queen was that Lou Quyi, who had always been foolhardy, actually came prepared this time, and it seemed that he still had a plan in mind.

"First, mobilize men, women, old and young to defend the royal city. Shuo people are not used to the climate of the grasslands, so they will inevitably be unaccustomed to the climate and soil, and there will be many diseases. Coupled with the long-distance supply, the national strength will be difficult to support. Over time, the morale of the army will inevitably collapse."

The Queen thought about it carefully and rejected King Zuo Xian's idea.

What the Shuo people chose for this northern expedition was the spring when the grass was long and the warblers were flying, the water and grass were fertile, and the climate was suitable. As for the food, they included cattle and sheep that had been plundered previously. As the supply was being consumed, the royal city was definitely the first to be unable to hold on.

Baht Lou Quyi also knew that this idea was unreliable, and speaking of it was just an excuse to explain his true purpose.

"The second is to profess vassalage to the Emperor of Shuo, pay tribute over time, and beg for the understanding of the people of Shuo."

As King Zuo Xian spoke, his eyes slightly glanced at the Queen sitting on the seat.

"How could Emperor Shuo believe your and my empty words?"

After pondering for a moment, the queen expressed her concerns.

"The Kingdom of Rong is willing to use King Yourong's entry into Yanjing as a pledge. In the future, when King Rong ascends the throne, he must accept the canonization of the Emperor of Shuo Kingdom!"

King Zuo Xian lowered his head and finally saw the situation.

"You guys, Baht Lou Quyi, Baht Lou Quyi, why don't you want to be the Rong King? You!"

The queen's chest heaved with anger, she pointed at the baht and Louqu and laughed in anger.

"Now that you've made your decision, why are you asking me, the queen?"

"If you do this, all the great Rong kings will lose their face!"

"Get out! Get out of here! God of Immortality, your descendants have degenerated to the point where they want to be dogs for Emperor Shuoren. One hundred thousand men have all taken off their armor, and there is not a single man in the country!"

The wine glass containing cheese wine was smashed to the ground. The Queen pointed at the noses of several people and sneered in despair.

Four Beirong nobles came to the door at the same time. It was obvious that they had made a decision behind her back. They were not here to discuss with her. They were clearly just going through the process and telling her their decision.

A dignified Beirong man was actually pointed at his nose and ridiculed by a woman.

"The Shuo people's army is about to arrive. There are too few guards around the king. Yi Tuzhi and I are worried, so let's let our men come to protect the king."

King Zuo Xian's expression suddenly changed, he glanced at He Lianchang who was guarding the young Beirong King, and ordered to the left and right, a bloody storm suddenly broke out outside the palace.

It's said to be a guard, but in reality it's a prison sentence.

The two Waigang Grandmasters are still the best among the two kings. Even someone as brave as He Lianchang can drink a pot.

After saying that, several people slammed the door and left with a cold groan, having already discussed the details of the city dedication.

…

Two days later, we arrived at the royal city.

The two wise kings who had already controlled the gates of Beirong King City were suddenly notified that a large number of people were approaching outside the city.

King Zuo Xian, who was already a little dazed from drinking, staggered up to the tower and looked at the black sea at the junction of heaven and earth. He suddenly woke up from the drunkenness.

"Brother, shall we open the city gate and surrender now?"

King Youxian Yi Tuzhi asked his eldest brother anxiously.

"No rush, let them attack the city for a few days first. I think the Shuo people are not as scary as the fleeing soldiers said. Can the Shuo people directly split the five or six feet wide city wall under our feet?"

Perhaps the drunkenness gave Lou Quyi some courage, so he actually picked up his riding whip and pointed in the direction of Shuo Jun and shouted in a brazen manner.

"After a few days of attacking and the Shuo people realize that they can't capture it, we can show our sincerity by offering the city again!"

It turned out that King Zuo Xian had such a calculation.

Yi Tuzhi felt that it made sense, nodded and was about to agree, when he suddenly spotted a small black dot, approaching quickly towards the royal city.

"What is that?"

Yi Tuzhi moved closer to the wall and just wanted to take a closer look.

"What else can be done? It can't be the Grand Master Shuo who personally goes out to blow open the city wall, right?"

Baht Lou Quyi took a sip of honey wine and couldn't help but joke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky-reaching sword light suddenly lit up, followed by a violent earthquake.

Suddenly, a foot-wide gap appeared on the city wall.
