In this battle, Zhang Han gave support without hesitation. He captured and killed the defenders of each city first, and used his domineering mechanical skills to suppress the enemy's firepower while the enemy was in chaos. Finally, the cavalry corps charged into the city and reaped the spoils.

Zhang Han truly showed the world what the power of a martial king is.

If he wanted to, he could even easily destroy a city by himself. Fortunately, in order to hone the combat effectiveness of his army, he did not do so.

…

"Report..."

In the palace hall of the Tianpeng Kingdom, Emperor Qiu Chao was holding an urgent meeting with two ministers when the anxious voices of soldiers were suddenly heard outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from the border: Li Cunxiao, General of the Great Zhou Kingdom's Fire Scale Legion, has led an army of 200,000 men into the territory of the Tianpeng Kingdom, preparing to attack us! Youyun County is in dire straits!"

"What?"

The Emperor Qiu Tongbai, Prime Minister Zhong Wanda, and General Ye Tianyuan in the hall were all shocked!

In fact, they had known for a long time that the war between Tianpeng Kingdom and Da Zhou Empire had just ended. Tianpeng Kingdom, which ended in a crushing defeat, would definitely be retaliated by Da Zhou, so they gathered here to discuss countermeasures.

But they didn't expect that Da Zhou would take the initiative to come to them. It was so arrogant.

"Let him in quickly!" Qiu Tongbai shouted loudly to the guards outside the hall.

He was a little panicked. As an emperor who had just gained power, his government was not stable yet and a large army was invading.

At this moment, he was really a little panicked.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Qiu Tongbai looking a little flustered, the old Prime Minister Zhong Wanda shouted to remind him.

Qiu Tongbai also realized his own loss of composure, took a deep breath, and suppressed his panic.

I am the emperor of the Tianpeng Kingdom. If I panic, it would be too embarrassing.

"call!"

Exhaling deeply, Qiu Tongbai immediately felt much better. He looked at Zhong Wanda and said with a calm smile, "Old Prime Minister Zhong, I'm fine!"

Zhong Wanda nodded, but he was actually feeling contempt in his heart. He knew that Qiu Tongbai was just pretending to be calm, but he was actually very panicked.

The soldier outside the hall quickly ran in, his face covered in sweat, and he knelt on the ground.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on in Youyun County?" Qiu Tongbai asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, two days ago, the Princess of Youyun County went out to inspect the border and accidentally discovered that the 200,000-strong army of the Great Zhou Empire had arrived at the city of Youyun County. Princess Youyun led 20,000 guards to defend the city and fought to the death, but the combat effectiveness of the Great Zhou army was too strong. Within a day, not only did the county city fall, but other towns in the county were also occupied one after another. Princess, the Princess... wuwuwu..."

As he said this, the soldier burst into tears.

Qiu Tongbai's face turned grim. He hadn't expected things to be worse than he thought. However, he still said in a deep voice, "Why are you crying? My Tianpeng Kingdom hasn't been destroyed yet. Go on, what exactly happened?"

"Your Majesty, the princess has been captured and killed by an enemy general. He...he...wuwuwu..."

The sergeant started crying again as he spoke.

Princess Youyun is dead!

Qiu Tongbai took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly.

He was not angry for the dead princess, but was shocked by the swift and sudden attack of the Great Zhou, and even more trembling with fear at the strength of the Great Zhou generals.

The Princess of Youyun County is one of the few Princesses in the Tianpeng Kingdom who have reached the Marquis level. She is extremely powerful.

In addition, Youyun County was originally a border county, and the soldiers in the county were extremely powerful. However, even so, they still could not stop the Great Zhou Army, not even for a day.

Even the princess was captured and killed!

"Your Majesty, please send troops as soon as possible to rescue the people of Youyun County!" The soldiers knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

"I know. I will immediately send troops to rescue Youyun County. You go down and stay here!"

For Qiu Tongbai, the life and death of the people in Youyun County is not important at all. What he cares about is that the fall of Youyun County will threaten the safety of the capital, because Youyun County is the most important barrier of the Tianpeng Kingdom.

After letting the eunuch take the soldier away, Qiu Tongbai stared at Zhong Wanda and Ye Tianyuan and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what should we do about this matter?"

"I don't need to listen to your nonsense. I just want to hear how to make the Great Zhou withdraw its troops, at any cost."

For Qiu Tongbai, the throne is above everything else!

He may not lose the land and reputation, but he must not lose the throne and wealth that belong to him.

Zhong Wanda and Ye Tianyuan looked at each other and saw a bitter smile in each other's eyes.

They naturally heard Qiu Tongbai's subtext. It was a misfortune for the country to have such an emperor.

After a brief pause, Zhong Wanda spoke first, "Your Majesty, the new emperor of the Great Zhou is an ambitious man. Furthermore, our army has just lost 400,000 men. There's absolutely no way they'll negotiate peace."

"Therefore, we must be prepared to face the enemy head-on. Currently, the total number of troops under our control near the imperial capital is less than 200,000, and the combat strength is only about 100,000. In this situation, we must plan carefully!"

"If there aren't enough people, we can recruit ordinary civilians to defend the city. Then, we can send troops from all over the country to defend the emperor. In short, the imperial capital must be defended!" Qiu Tongbai said sternly.

"this……"

Recruiting civilians as soldiers is an act that will lose the support of the people, but looking at the fierce look on Qiu Tongbai's face, it is obvious that he has made up his mind. What else can they say?

"Your Majesty, recruiting soldiers is one thing, but we must also formulate a good battle plan. Only in this way can we be invincible in every battle!" Ye Tianyuan said respectfully.

"you say!"

"Now, the first thing we must do is to figure out how many troops the Great Zhou Empire is sending this time. This is very important!" Ye Tianyuan said in a deep voice.

"Go down and solve this matter. I'll give you three days!" Qiu Tongbai ordered.

"Yes, I will find out everything within three days!"

Ye Tianyuan continued, "In addition, we must also store sufficient food and fodder to prevent a food shortage crisis in the city when the imperial capital is truly besieged."

Qiu Tongbai looked up at Zhong Wanda and said, "I don't care what method you use. I want you to ensure that there is no problem with the imperial capital's food supply. Can you do it?"

Seeing the cold light in Qiu Tongbai's eyes, Zhong Wanda said helplessly: "I can!"

"good!"

Qiu Tongbai looked at Ye Tianyuan again and said, "The food and grass problem has been solved. What else is there?"

Ye Tianyuan shook his head, but Zhong Wanda said, "Your Majesty, for such a major matter, we should still consult the ministers' opinions!"

Qiu Tongbai frowned slightly, but still said, "Notify the ministers to come to court within half an hour!"

"yes!"

Half an hour later, the ministers arrived in the Golden Palace.

They looked at Qiu Tongbai sitting on the dragon throne, all with a puzzled look on their faces, not understanding why they suddenly had to go to court again when it had only been a short time since the court session ended today?

Qiu Tongbai looked at the ministers below and said with a gloomy face, "Half an hour ago, I received news that the 200,000-strong army of the Great Zhou is already at the border. Ministers, please share your opinions!"
