The prince is very cruel

Chapter 907

"Yes!" Everyone clasped their fists.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Ning still felt that he was not prepared enough. Things progressed too quickly, which was once again beyond his expectations. He originally thought that with Yuan Sima leading the troops to resist, the court could buy at least half a year of respite, and he would have more time to prepare.

But now that Sima Yuan has been framed and Changhe has been defeated, everything is different again.

"Brother Nie, please go and do something."

Nie Nan bowed and said, "My lord, I will do as you command."

Guan Ning frowned. "Once we lose control of Changhe, the initiative will be completely in the hands of the Xiliang rebels. According to their custom, they will definitely rob all the people of their food and cloth to support their army."

"You should take the people of Shu and find a way to rescue the fleeing civilians, especially the elderly and children. If the imperial court doesn't care, they will die."

As a former soldier, Guan Ning cannot be absolutely rational. Deep down, he wants to serve his fellow countrymen.

"it is good!"

"I'll go right away."

"There is a lot of food stored in Bashan, which can last for a while." Nie Nan said and left immediately.

"My lord, is there anything I should do?" Ma Jin asked, and Shen Lei and the others also looked over, each of them eager to try, with a gleam in their eyes.

The soldiers who have been training for so long want to be tested.

"Keep practicing and don't worry about anything else." Guan Ning blurted out.

Suddenly, several people were disappointed.

"Prince, the rebels and the imperial court are fighting fiercely now. This is a good opportunity for us."

"Wouldn't it be better if we sent troops to raid the rebels' homeland, or headed north and took the opportunity to seize more territory?"

"That's right!"

Guan Ning shook his head: "Don't forget what our original intention was. We are only trying to protect ourselves and help more people, not to gain power and let countless comrades die in vain!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and looked ashamed.

"Yes, the prince taught me that."

Guan Ning soothed him, "Go ahead. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I know that the soldiers of the three armies want to make a name for themselves after hearing about the chaos in the Central Plains, but now is not the time."

"Yes!" Everyone clasped their fists.

Afterwards, Guan Ning quickly wrote a letter and had it secretly delivered to the capital.

Although Guan Ning has been moving his family and property for a long time, there is still Pei Nanyin and Empress Fuxi in the capital, and he is concerned about these two people.

He wanted to ask about the situation in the capital. After all, once Changhe was lost, the next step would be Tongguan. Once Tongguan was broken, the capital would be flat and completely exposed to the rebels.

Although the capital city has the highest walls, the most abundant food, the most powerful imperial guards and the emperor's direct troops to guard it, he is no longer optimistic that the court can hold on.

The old emperor did not have the courage to swear a life and death battle with the capital, and there were many factions within the court, which could not unite as one. At critical moments, they all thought about themselves.

In such a situation, even the strongest fortress will be broken from the inside, not to mention that there are forces like King Jiangxia who are eyeing it covetously.

Therefore, he was not optimistic about the current situation, but he could not act rashly now and could only wait for news.

Two more days passed.

Earth-shaking news continues to come.

King Jiangxia officially sent out his troops two days ago. In the name of sheltering refugees, resisting rebels, and going to Beijing to defend the king, he mobilized 60,000 troops as the vanguard and successively captured twelve cities one hundred miles east of the capital, including three county cities. Many warehouses of the court were occupied.

The old emperor was furious and wanted to arrest King Jiangxia on the charge of treason. Whoever took King Jiangxia's head would be granted the title of marquis.

But at this moment, King Jiangxia had already taken advantage of the chaos to gain power, and even if the old emperor wanted to settle the score, there was nothing he could do.

Not to mention, the Qin family joined forces with the four major Northwest financial groups to form a "rebel army" and launched an attack at the same time, blocking three major official roads, splitting the two state capitals, and declaring autonomy.

The emergence of these two forces was unstoppable. In an instant, heroes emerged from all parts of the Central Plains. Some broke away, some became autonomous, and even some mountain kings who had been hiding for many years jumped out, recruited soldiers, and claimed that they wanted to establish a country.
