Chapter 369: Emperor Xia and the princes share a common destiny
Looking at Yang Qi who had fainted at the foot of the city wall, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
Said to Li Yuanyi who was standing next to him.
"Yuan Yi, take the guard battalion out immediately."
"Accept the remaining Xia soldiers outside the city to surrender."
After receiving Jiang Chen's order, Li Yuanyi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to receive the order.
"My lord, please wait for a moment."
After saying that, Li Yuanyi turned around and went down the city wall with several commanders of the Royal Guard Battalion.
Not long after, the remaining 3,000 Xia soldiers were escorted into Liaoyuan City by more than 2,000 guards.
At this point, it only took four days for the entire territory of Liaochengzhou to fall under Jiang Chen's control.
Not only that, the army of the Canglang Kingdom was led by Khan Aham.
They marched straight ahead and within four days, they conquered the entire western border of the Xia Kingdom!
As soon as the news was reported back to the capital of Xia, Yu Anmin immediately sent the King of Huai'an to the capital.
All the princes who came to Beijing to support the king were summoned into the palace.
For a moment, the entire Golden Palace was filled with discussions among the princes from all over the Xia Kingdom who had come to support the king.
Listening to the noisy discussions of the princes in the hall, Yu Anmin couldn't help but frown.
Before Yu Anmin could speak up to stop him, King Huai'an on the side shouted loudly.
"What are you doing!?"
"This is in the imperial court. Do you still respect the law?"
"How can such a noise be allowed?!"
Faced with the rebuke from King Huai'an, all the princes stopped discussing.
Just stood there quietly, not daring to speak loudly.
After seeing that everyone had quieted down, King Huai'an said nothing more.
He just turned around calmly and bowed to Yu Anmin.
"Your Majesty, the rebels from the northern border and the enemy troops from the Canglang Kingdom have invaded our Xia Kingdom."
"It can even are about to invade the heartland of our Xia country."
"That's the case, if we don't take any action."
"I'm afraid that the country of Xia will be destroyed in our hands!"
As the words of King Huai'an echoed throughout the hall, Yu Anmin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, nodded slowly.
"My royal brother is right. I have been too indulgent to Jiang Chen before."
"As a result, the North has become what it is today!"
"I will not explain this in detail. The most urgent task is to repel the armies of the Northern Territory and the Canglang Nation!"
"So, my dear ministers, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only one day to deploy it."
"Now, it is time for you to serve me and the people of Xia!"
When Yu Anmin
For them, they just wanted to take the opportunity to go to Beijing to support the king.
Fortunately, they didn't think about gaining some merit in front of Yu Anmin.
In this turmoil that is enough to destroy the Xia Kingdom, do something for the Xia Kingdom.
They just want to take advantage of this turmoil to gain more benefits for themselves.
Seeing that all the princes were silent, King Huai'an was filled with anger.
"Well, you are really good subjects of my Xia Kingdom!"
King Huai'an looked at the princes who remained silent, and his expression gradually became ferocious.
This time, some of the princes could no longer bear the King of Huai'an's angry rebuke.
"Humph, Prince Huai'an's words are quite bold."
"I am Li He, the governor of Anyun Prefecture. I would like to ask the prince."
"We came to the capital to serve the king in compliance with His Majesty's order."
"Why are we just thinking about how to arrange the troops appropriately?"
"You are just a prince who is a subject, but you are the first to scold us!"
A middle-aged man wearing the third-rank official uniform of the Xia Kingdom stood up and refuted King Huai'an.
After hearing his words, Yu Anmin instantly turned his gaze away.
After taking a quick look at the governor of Anyun Prefecture named Li He.
Yu Anmin suppressed his anger and spoke to him.
"Li He, Prince Huai'an is my brother!"
"Even if he made a mistake, only I can reprimand him."
"Do you understand what I mean? And the other beloved ministers as well."
"If something like this happens again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As Yu Anmin spoke, the majesty of an emperor pressed towards Li He.
Feeling the faint pressure from the emperor on Yu Anmin.
Li He had no choice but to bite the bullet and force himself to stay on his knees.
"Your Majesty, I understand. Please calm down!"
Although he was filled with reluctance, Li He still chose to temporarily bow his head to Yu Anmin.
After all, although these local officials and princes brought a large number of troops to Beijing to support the king.
But in the capital of the entire Xia Kingdom, after Yu Anmin ascended the throne .
A large-scale overhaul was about to begin, now in the entire capital of Xia State.
In addition to the five battalions of the reorganized Northern Army located on the four sides of the capital.
A city guard force of 50,000 was also added to the entire capital.
And in the imperial city, which is the last line of defense of the entire capital.
Yu Anmin also specially left behind a 50,000-man imperial guard and a 30,000-man imperial guard.
If we count the guards of the five departments in the capital, the entire capital of the Xia Kingdom.
It has an army of nearly 200,000 people! !
Among these princes, the most powerful one was Li He himself.
Li He, the governor of a state, brought a total of 30,000 troops to support the king!
The number of soldiers and generals brought by other princes was also uneven.
Some princes even only brought a few hundred soldiers!
The huge Xia Kingdom occupied twelve states.
Except for the western border and Liaochengzhou that had already been conquered, as well as Jiang Chen's northern border.
The remaining nine states have a total of troops coming to support the king this time.
It’s only a total of 200,000!!
You know, if you calculate according to the Xia Kingdom’s military system, each state has a total of 50,000 troops!
In other words, if all the troops in Kyushu are counted together, there are 450,000.
This time, the troops they brought to support the king were less than half of the troops they had.
Not to mention, among these princes.
Some princes have more than 50,000 troops under their command!
This is also the reason why Li He did not dare to completely break up with Yu Anmin.
These princes were not united in mind and each operated in their own camp.
If he completely broke off relations with the court, he would undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.
Many people have always been concerned about Anyun Prefecture under his rule!
After stopping everyone from being disrespectful to King Huai'an, Yu Anmin slowly sat up straight.
A pair of dragon eyes slowly scanned the princes in the hall.
"My dear ministers, I know what you are thinking."
"But don't forget, once the Xia Kingdom is destroyed, I will be captured by the traitor Jiang Chen."
"Then everything you have now will become a thing of the past!"
As Yu Anmin spoke, he couldn't help but think of a phrase in his mind - "the lips and teeth are interdependent"!
