After escaping from the battlefield, Duke Li was as anxious as a fish that had escaped the net, and as vast as a dog that had lost its home.

This can be said to be very embarrassed for a marshal who commands an army of hundreds of thousands.

But now I don’t care about this anymore, so I will escape my life and return to the capital to report it to the emperor.

In this way, Duke Li took dozens of his confidants to walk the path and cross the cliffs. It took him more than ten days to return to the capital.

When he saw the tall city tower in the capital, Du Gong Li was excited and burst into tears.

He thought he would not see the capital, and he did not expect to live back.

This time he was really dangerous. Even the old eunuch had died on the spot. If he hadn't seen the opportunity and had escaped early, he might have stayed in Yang Heng's prisoner camp now.

However, after he felt sad, he hurried toward the city gate, but as soon as he walked to the city gate, he was stopped.

It’s not the fault of the soldiers guarding the city. They are ragged and almost no different from beggars, but they have individual swords and guns in their hands, so they are obviously not good people.

If he was not stopped and let them enter the city, if something happened, the soldiers guarding the city would not be able to bear such a responsibility.

Fortunately, Duke Li was calm and took out his token and asked the soldier to hand it over to their boss.

After seeing Du Gong Li’s token, the man knew that it was not good. He hurried to the gate and led Du Gong Li into the city gate. After that, he changed their clothes a little, and personally opened the way in front of him and sent them to the front of the palace.

…………

At this time, the Emperor Shunde was in a state of uneasy.

After all, the battle ahead is related to his country. If he wins this time, then the north will be stable. If he loses, his country will be unstable.

Shouming, who was sitting at the head of His Highness, was always looking at his grandfather.

When I saw the Emperor Shunde, I was really upset. I just criticized a memorial for half an hour, but I didn't leave a single word.

He hurriedly took a cup of tea from the side and carefully placed it in front of the Longshu desk of Emperor Shunde.

"Grandpa Emperor, let's have a cup of tea and be happy."

The Emperor Shunde took the teacup dullly and drank it all in one go.

"You said something might happen to the front? I have been feeling a little restless these two days, and my eyelids have been pounding."

Shouming thought for a moment, then said.

"Grandpa Emperor doesn't need to worry. The old governor will come, and with that treasure, I think it can resist Yang Heng."

This is also Shouming's own judgment. He believes that there is not much hope to defeat Yang Heng, but it is still possible to be able to fight Yang Heng.

The Emperor Shunde was comforted and finally felt relieved. He sighed, looked up at Shouming beside him, and then said helplessly: "It is also because I used to favor Pudu Cihang, which caused this disaster. Otherwise, how could this disaster Yang Heng rise up?"

After saying this, the Emperor Shunde's face became even more unpleasant.

Shouming, who was standing aside, also sighed, and he didn't know what he should say.

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly ran into the hall.

"Long live the Lord, Governor Li asks for a meeting."

When the Emperor Shunde heard this, he immediately stood up excitedly, but he immediately understood something and collapsed on the throne.

Shouming, who was standing next to him, also felt dizzy.

The reason why the two of them had this form was because they knew that as the commander, Li Dugong would not leave the army easily.

Now that I have returned to the capital, there is only one possibility, that is, hundreds of thousands of troops no longer exist.

Fortunately, the Emperor Shunde had been in power for decades. He reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly to the bottom.

"Let this slave come in and talk back."

After a while, Duke Li, who was in a mess, stumbled into the hall.

After entering the hall, he immediately fell to the ground and kept kowtowing upwards, without saying a word.

Looking at Duke Li like this, the Emperor Shunde above had already broken up the only lucky chance in his heart.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Then Duke Li told the Emperor Shunde all the things that happened on the battlefield with tears on his face.

After hearing this, the Emperor Shunde sat on the throne weakly, his eyes were silent.

Because he had foreseen that his family's country might be overturned.

But Shouming, who was standing next to him, didn't want to throw away the throne that was close to him. His eyes turned and suddenly he had a solution.

"Grandpa Emperor, Yang Heng is now in great power. I'm afraid that not only us, but even the princes in the world are very alert to him. We might as well issue an edict to let the princes in the world serve the king."

After hearing this idea, the Emperor Shunde's mind was spinning rapidly.

This is a way to temporarily maintain the situation.

But then again, how could those anti-kings and traitors listen to their own emperor?

"Will those thieves follow the order?"

Shouming replied confidently: "If it were the past, these thieves would naturally take our bodies as a warning. But now Yang Heng is about to attack the capital. If they don't take action, they will probably be completely suppressed by Yang Heng in the end."

Emperor Shunde had been the emperor for decades. Shouming just reminded him that he understood the truth.

I saw the Emperor Shunde suddenly stood up from the throne, then walked back and forth on the Yu Street a few steps, and suddenly turned around and nodded secretly at Shouming Annan.

He thought to himself that his grandson was indeed successful.

Du Gong Li, who was kneeling below, was now also his eyes were dripping around.

He was also thinking about the way he had just stopped Ming. Now he thought that this was a perfect solution.

Unfortunately, Shoumingti was too late. If he proposed it before the war, he might be able to suppress Yang Heng back again.

Yang Heng is now in great power, with hundreds of thousands of troops coming to the capital soon. Even if the princes of the world agree to serve the king, I am afraid that it will be a while since they will collect troops and gather food and grass.

In addition, the journey of the princes is long, and now the distance cannot relieve their near thirst.

The only way to temporarily hold Yang Heng back now is to have a stalemate with Yang Heng in the capital, but this is really too dangerous. With Yang Heng's magical power, it is probably not so realistic for these people in the capital to resist Yang Heng.

Although Li Duke thought so, he did not dare to say what he said, because he had just lost his troops and humiliated the country. If he said something against the Emperor Shunde, he would probably lose his head immediately.

Because of this, Duke Li is now full of energy.

It seems that the court cannot save it anymore. Yang Heng swept the north and was a foregone conclusion. If he wants to save his life, it seems that he will have to offer a letter of fame to his new master.

The two emperors Shunde and Shouming above were in a hot conversation. They never thought that the Duke Li of the court, who was kneeling down below, had already had a different idea.

In the end, Emperor Shunde and Shouming finally came up with a feasible solution.

First, I sent an envoy to Jin Province and invited Wang Zhen to help.

Emperor Shunde was still scared of Wang Zhen, and he dared to fight eastward with only tens of thousands of troops. If it weren't for his large crowds and the old eunuch's magical powers, he might have really made him attack the capital.

Because of this, the Emperor Shunde had a very impression of him, believing that as long as he came to help him, he could temporarily resist Yang Heng.

However, if you want this anti-king to come and help, then the conditions must not be missed.

Finally, the Emperor Shunde simply issued an order to make Wang Zhen the King of Jin, and his descendants inherited the emperor and allowed his descendants to live in Jin Province forever.

As for other anti-kings, the Emperor Shunde also made a wish and gave him various rewards. If they could really be implemented, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty might become one vassal state.

However, the Emperor Shunde doesn't care about these things now. As long as he can block Yang Heng from temporarily protecting the existence of the court, these people can slowly deal with it in the future.

In this way, the imperial edicts drawn up by Emperor Shunde were issued from the court one by one.

At this time, Yang Heng had just rectified the troops.

He originally wanted to take an army of hundreds of thousands to the north immediately, but the development of things gave him a heavy blow.

Because as Yang Heng brought more and more troops, he would be able to temporarily maintain such a large-scale military expedition from the two provinces.

In addition, Shandong has been in turmoil over the years, and the people are displaced and have no intention of farming at all, so the output is very small.

Under such circumstances, it would be good to barely maintain stability in Shandong. If Yang Heng was collecting food and grass on a large scale, there would be disaster victims everywhere in Shandong.

In the end, there was no choice but to return the soldiers to Shandong to station, and at the same time urged Henan to quickly raise food and grass.

Because Yang Heng knew that now was the best time. If he dragged on himself, the court would be prepared and he would have to work hard to go north to destroy the court.

Fortunately, Henan is now stable, and the gentry in Henan is very supportive of Yang Heng. As soon as they received Yang Heng's order, they immediately started raising food and grass, and many gentry even emptied their granaries.

The reason why they were so active was that Yang Heng was now powerful. If this continues, the great Zhou Dynasty would probably end up being Yang Heng.

Therefore, they actively paid and paid food, just to show their faces in front of the new king. When the new dynasty was first established in the future, they would also receive rewards.

This reward is extraordinary. As long as they don’t make any big mistakes in the future, they can maintain their glory and wealth in the next few hundred years.

It was precisely because of the support of these gentry that the food and supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops were all gathered within two months.

After receiving the report below, Yang Heng was both happy and worried.

What is happy is that the army finally didn't have to worry about food and grass. What is worried is that these gentry are so powerful that these gentry in Henan Province alone can gather so much food and grass in just two months, which makes Yang Heng a little scared.
