Chapter 340: To Go Into Battle Immediately Set Off
The news about the front line battle came too sudden. However, before this, the palace ministers were only arguing about trivial matters, when suddenly, a palace guard outside the imperial hall shouted: Urgent news from 800 miles!
Urgent news from 800 miles!
Upon hearing these words, the palace ministers immediately shut their mouth. The atmosphere inside the imperial hall drastically changed. The palace ministers looked at each other with a heavy face
They all felt that this urgent news from the battlefield is bad.
Come! The emperors hand also shook.
The efficiency of the palace guard was extremely high. The emperors words just fell, but they already assisted the soldier who came to deliver the news, to come in. The soldier kneels on the floor and handed the battle report with reddened eyes.
Huangshang, Eminent Xu was assassinated and died in the camp. Our army was defeated, but the Northern Country didnt stop at that. Our army lost three cities.
What? With such a shocking report, several palace ministers couldnt stop themselves from shouting: Eminent Xu is dead?
Our army lost three cities?
The emperors face became pale in shock and quickly took the report to the eunuchs hand. When he read the content, his facial expression became more and more ugly. He grabbed the handrail on his dragon chair and yelled: Northern Country, good, good, you are really good! You actually used martial gods? This is simply shameless.
Huangshang, please calm down. When the palace ministers saw the emperor was very angry, they all hurriedly kneel on the floor.
Calm down? How do you expect zhen to calm down in this state? Even with nearly millions of troops, they did not only fail to stop the Northern Countrys attack but also lost three cities. What is the use of raising this group of waste? In this war, he spent a lot of money and effort to give them foods and weapons. Although he used this war for a personal matter, he also gives his full support, but in the end, they just lose.
These are all this officials fault, this official should die, please huangshang appease your anger. The Minister of the Civil and Military Affairs and other related officials kneel down and said in unison.
You all should really die. The emperor was very angry. He really wanted to take a sword and cut all these useless generals head.
The right faction knows that the emperor was in a bad mood, but things happened now. Getting angry will not help change the situation. Right Prime Minister You said with a grieving tone: Huangshang, the front line was now in a tight spot, the commander in charge is dead. Our top priority is to choose another commander that will drive away the Northern Army.
Prime Minister You is right Lin Xiang was unwilling to stay silent, he analyzed the situation and said: The Northern Army took advantage of the panic state in our army, and captured three cities. We must stabilize our army and regain these cities from the North.
There were two prime ministers who took the lead, so the other palace ministers followed suit. As soon he heard these words, the emperors anger disappeared, but
The commander in charge this time shouldnt be careless. Can anyone of you officials suggest one? The commander in charge this time must have inhumane strength. Otherwise, they wouldnt be able to turn the wheel.
How about we pick someone whos already in the front line? At this time, they need to choose a commander in charge in a hurry, so its better to choose whos already on the battlefield.
This proposal was good, but are the front line generals have this ability. Werent they all beaten after Eminent Xu died?
The emperor didnt speak, he didnt directly reject this proposal.
The palace ministers thought seriously and suggested a general one by one. The generals that come out from their mouth were veterans in leading the battle. Although they were not young, they were indeed strong, but the emperor was still not satisfied.
Lin Xiang has always been good at reading the emperors mind. Seeing his reaction, he understood that the situation in the front line must be complicated than they imagined: Huangshang, are there martial gods in the Northern Army? Lin Xiang casually find a way to explore the matter in the front line.
The Northern Army is suspected of having martial gods in the army. The emperor said with a black face. All the palace ministers were surprised: Martial god? This, how is this possible? Arent Martial gods supposed to stay in the Martial God Mountain, regardless of what?
Martial Gods, our countrys martial gods are currently practicing. What should we do?
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and other related officials one by one fell on the floor. As if the world will come to an end.
Now that there were Martial Gods in the Northern Army, surely they are stronger than them. They have no chance of winning.
Didnt the Central Empire prohibited martial gods participation in ordinary peoples war? Is the Northern Country not afraid to be suppressed by the central empire? Right Prime Minister You asked with a heavy face, but his eyes were brimming with dignity.
Only when this thing was mention, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs regained his calm.
The emperor coldly said: Theyre not yet martial gods. Just like Xiao Tianyao at this time, he has the strength of a Martial God but extremely suppressing himself to break through.
Right Prime Minister You heavily sighed and said: If that is the case, this old minister has a good candidate in mind.
When this statement came out, everyone became silent.
They all know who is Right Prime Minister You was talking about, but
The Emperor had a hard time to get Xiao Wangyes military power, will he allow Xiao Wangye to have this military power again?
Of course, the emperor doesnt want to, but now that the country was at a great disadvantage. He can only rely on Xiao Tianyao to save the east and avoid being erased in the map, right?
If the country no longer exists, will he still have power?
Who is it? Speak. The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart and pretended to be eager to hear suggestions.
When Right Prime Minister You heard this, he knew that the emperor had compromised, so he said: It is Xiao Wangye, our East God of War. Aside from him, no one else could defeat the Northern Army.
Right Prime Minister You understood the grievances of the emperor, but they have no other choice.
You said it well, if the God of War, Xiao Wangye comes out, the Northern Army will shake in fear. The Emperor said while gritting his teeth, but he has an exciting look in his face, as he said: Someone come, sent out an imperial edict!
When the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs heard this, he was speechless. He also felt weak and powerless.
They know the emperor was left with no other choice!

On the same day, the imperial edict was sent to the Xiao Wangfu. The Emperor appointed Xiao Tianyao as the chief general of the National Defense Army. He ordered him together with 30,000 soldiers and horses to immediately rushed to the front line.
Xiao Tianyao was expecting it but didnt think that the emperor will react this fast. He expressionlessly accepted the imperial edict and said he knows.
Wangye As the eunuch handed the imperial decree, he bluntly said: The front line is in an urgent situation and cant wait. The emperor hopes Xiao Wangye to send troops as soon as possible.
Xiao Tianyao took over the imperial edict and looked at coldly the eunuch. However, he didnt say anything, he just turned and went back inside.
The eunuch was stunned and stared at Xiao Tianyaos departing figure: This, did he agree or not? How will I report back the emperor?
The eunuch was helpless, he looked at the Xiao Wangfus guards, hoping they could give him a clear answer, but
After seeing Xiao Tianyaos figure disappear, the Xiao Wangfus guards one by one left. They didnt pay attention to the eunuch.
After Xiao Tianyao entered the front house, he threw the imperial edict to Housekeeper Cao and said: Tell Wangfei to come and see Xiao Tianyao didnt finish his words, he said: Forget it, benwang will go directly.
After turning around, Xiao Tianyao walked towards Lin Chujius courtyard
