Chapter 356 Brothers Reunited
After seeing that his persuasion was useless, Wang Zhongqing had no choice but to protect Yu Yu and follow Yang Qi back to Tongliao County.
However, as soon as he arrived in Tongliao County, Wang Zhongqing took advantage of the intelligence agency left by King Huai'an.
The news that Beidi County had fallen was successfully sent out.
With the help of the speed of carrier pigeons, the battle report from Beidi County was quickly delivered to Yu Anmin.
Looking at the battle report in his hand, Yu Anmin couldn't help but frowned deeply.
Although he had already guessed that Jiang Chen would rebel in the near future.
But he didn't expect that the strength of the North would be so terrifying.
Beidi County had already become impregnable under the painstaking efforts of King Huai'an and Yu Yu.
Unexpectedly, the northern army conquered the city in silence and at lightning speed.
Yu Anmin slowly put away the battle report in his hand and said to Su Dingxia who was standing beside him.
"Eunuch Su, go and tell the Imperial Guards to bring my brother here."
"More than half a year has passed. It's time for me to meet him."
Hearing Yu Anmin's words, Su Dingxia hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"I obey your order. I will go and invite Prince Huai'an here right away."
After Su Dingxia finished speaking, she stood up, turned around and quickly left Yu Anmin's bedroom.
Not long after, Su Dingxia, who had returned, walked in with the thin King Huai'an.
After entering the bedroom, Prince Huai'an pushed away Su Dingxia who was supporting him.
Then, he bowed to Yu Anmin.
"Yu Huaian, I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
Looking at Prince Huai'an's figure, which was much thinner than before.
Yu Anmin choked up for a moment, stood up with a sigh, and supported the body of King Huai'an.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"Get up quickly, get up quickly for me, I don't deserve such a great gift from you."
Having said that, Yu Anmin forcibly helped Prince Huai'an up to the ground.
With the help of Yu Anmin, King Huai'an sat down aside.
After King Huai'an sat down, Yu Anmin turned around and sat back on the dragon throne.
"Brother, I regret not listening to your advice."
After hearing what Yu Anmin said, King Huai'an immediately understood what had happened.
Without waiting for Yu Anmin to speak further, King Huai'an asked directly.
"But Jiang Chen in the Northern Territory has already started a rebellion?"
It seems that his royal brother has not heard anything about the outside world for half a year.
But he still figured out what was going on with his years of intelligence.
For a moment, Yu Anmin's respect for his royal brother grew even stronger.
"That's right, but my brother's guess is not comprehensive."
"The northern army broke through Beidi County two days ago and is now heading towards Liaocheng Prefecture!"
After hearing what Yu Anmin said, King Huai'an suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief.
“This…how is this possible?!”
"The city of Beidi County is strong, and there are 50,000 troops stationed there that I have carefully trained."
"Even if Jiang Chen, that villain, had the help of gods, he couldn't have conquered Beidi County so quickly!"
Prince Huai'an stood up in shock and exclaimed loudly to Yu Anmin.
Facing the King of Huai'an who looked incredulous, Yu Anmin just nodded calmly.
"Brother, this is indeed the truth."
"I summoned you here to hear what countermeasures you have."
As Yu Anmin spoke, he asked Su Dingxia to bring two bowls of tonic soup specially made by the imperial kitchen.
Looking at the tonic soup brought by Su Dingxia, Prince Huai'an came to his senses and drank it all in one gulp.
Afterwards, King Huai'an wiped his mouth with his sleeve and spoke to Yu Anmin.
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to immediately dispatch troops from all over the country to Liaochengzhou."
"If we delay any further, Liaocheng Prefecture will be lost."
"If the gates of our Xia country are wide open, the northern army will swarm in!"
After listening to King Huai'an's opinions, Yu Anmin nodded in agreement.
"Yes , my brother and I have the same idea."
"Then I will follow what my brother said and immediately draft an order to mobilize troops from all places."
Speaking of Zhejiang, Yu Anmin nodded to Su Dingxia beside him.
Upon seeing this, Su Dingxia hurried forward to prepare ink for Yu Anmin's inkstone and spread out the brocade cloth that would be used to write imperial edicts.
Just as Yu Anmin picked up the brush, wrote an imperial edict and stamped it with his own private seal.
Prince Huai'an, who was standing by, saw that Yu Anmin had finished writing the imperial edict, and then he slowly opened his mouth and asked.
"Your Majesty, there is one thing I really cannot understand."
"What method did Jiang Chen use..."
"How could they have conquered Beidi County so quickly and without anyone noticing?"
Prince Huai'an asked in confusion, he really couldn't figure this matter out.
What's more, the Jinyiwei that was originally supposed to be under his control has now been taken back by Yu Anmin.
So, how did Jiang Chen capture Beidi County so quickly and mysteriously?
This really puzzled King Huai'an...
Facing King Huai'an's question, Yu Anmin shook his head helplessly.
He took out the information that the Jinyiwei had found out from his arms.
"Brother, please take a look at it yourself. I don't know what to say."
After saying that, Yu Anmin handed the information in his hand to King Huai'an.
King Huai'an took the information handed to him by Yu Anmin with confusion and opened it to read.
"I see, that's how it is!"
"This northern army actually created such a terrifying weapon!"
"Its power is comparable to divine punishment. It is simply a weapon of war!"
It turns out that the reason why Jiang Chen was able to capture Beidi County so quickly.
A large part of the credit should be attributed to the craftsmen of the "Weapon Casting Department".
If they had not developed the prototype of artillery within this year .
I'm afraid Jiang Chen will not be able to capture Beidi County so quickly.
In order to quickly break open the gateway to Xia State, Jiang Chen did not hesitate to expose the powerful weapon, the artillery, in advance.
However, it was obvious that Jiang Chen had successfully achieved his goal.
Now, a total of 100,000 troops have arrived at Chengzhou of Liao.
Even though Yu Anmin had already issued the imperial edict, the military forces from other states and counties had gathered together.
It would definitely take a lot of time to reach Liao Chengzhou.
During this period of time, relying on the elite northern soldiers under Jiang Chen.
With powerful weapons like artillery, Jiang Chen may be able to quickly capture Liaochengzhou.
So they marched southwards and attacked the capital of the Xia Kingdom!
After expressing his feelings for a while, King Huai'an asked Yu Anmin with some hope.
"Your Majesty, can we get the design drawings of this mysterious weapon?"
"If our Xia country also obtains such weapons, then the North will definitely not be a concern!"
"By then, we only need to destroy the North, and we can even unify the other five countries!"
King Huai'an looked at Yu Anmin expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer.
