Chapter 471: Bad News Spreads to the Capital
"You said that Zuhara has fallen?"

"My frontline troops were completely wiped out???"

A few days later, in the palace of Guoneicheng, the capital of Goguryeo in Ji'an, Jilin Province.

Suoha was covered in mud and knelt on the ground in a miserable state, reporting the military situation to Minglindaye urgently.

However, Mo Lizhi, who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else, obviously would not easily believe such nonsense.

Zuoyuan City is the result of his father's hard work.

Dozens of forts of various sizes were closely connected, and even in peacetime, there were always more than 2,000 garrisons stationed there. They were their mainstay in the fight against the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty had failed in several previous invasions, and now not only had he sent another 5,000 reinforcements, but it had not been long since the city fell, so it was impossible for the city to fall so easily, and the entire army was wiped out.

Not to mention jokes, even talking in a sleep shouldn't happen like this!

"If the Han Dynasty had this ability, then everyone would have to be a heavenly soldier or general."

Ming Lindaye snorted coldly and waved his hand:
"Someone, come here - take this scum who spread rumors and caused trouble out and chop him off!"

"No, no, spare me—"

Suoha was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy:

"Mo Lizhi, everything I said is true, not a single word is false!"

As they were talking, two guards carried Sohaya on the left and right.

While being dragged along, Suoha struggled hard, and said quickly:
"The Han army used water dragons to flood the defense line, and then they took the opportunity to attack the city."

"The refugees will probably arrive in the inner city in the next two days. Then you can just send someone to ask and everything will be clear!"

"Mo Lizhi is very observant!"

--"stop!"

Hearing Soha's confident words, Ming Lindaye frowned, especially the word "water dragon" which made his heart beat wildly.

So he sent the palace guards out on horseback to look for the so-called refugee, and at the same time ordered the guards to drag him back for further questioning.

It would not be a big deal if they did not ask, but once they did, all the ministers present turned pale.

In order to avoid having his head chopped off, Suoha described in vivid detail the brutality of the battle the day before.

"how come."

"Could it be that the army is really gone?"

"How could the Han army possibly use a water dragon?"

The ministers talked at once, all looking incredulous.

They all knew that given the terrain of fortresses like Zuoyuan, even if the river flooded, it would not be possible to submerge the entire area.

unless
“Could it be possible that they could breach the dam upstream???”

"How can it be?!"

"That's in the Great North. Could it be that the Han army can fly?!"

No one could answer their questions, but whether the Han army could fly was not Ming Lindaye's biggest concern.

"You said the front line was defeated, so where is my son Yugi now?!"

Ming Lindaye grabbed Suoha by the collar, lifted him up high, and stared at the deserter with flaming eyes.

Suoha was almost unable to breathe due to Minglindaye's pinching, and his face turned red.

Facing the furious Mo Lizhi, Suoha stammered and cried:

"General Yugi, General Yugi"

"It was really something that happened suddenly. He was afraid that you didn't know the situation on the front line and were attacked by the Han army, so he hurriedly sent me back to report the military situation." "And the general himself was the last one to leave, so he might have been captured by the Han army."

Suoha's words were true and false. He didn't dare to look at Ming Lindaye. He closed his eyes and shouted:
"General Yugi, it's righteous!"

"My son!!!"

Ming Lindaye almost vomited blood.

To be honest, he was a little worried that his son would make too many achievements and threaten his position when he sent him to lead the army.

But now that he learned that he had been defeated and captured, the previous feeling of sadness was immediately replaced by boundless pain.

Suddenly, he let go of his hand, and Suoha fell heavily to the ground, but Ming Lindaye had no time to care about him. He just stood there with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Mo Lizhi, you have to cheer up!"

The trusted ministers advised:
"If the Han army really breaks through Zuoyuan, the capital will be in danger!"

"What should we do now? I need your advice."

If Zuoyuan fell, once the Han army crossed the river, there would be no city to defend on the way to the royal city.

If they sit back and watch the Han army advance, once the enemy is at the gates of the city, they will have no choice but to leave.

Ming Lin Daye was also the Mo Lizhi who had held power for more than ten years. He immediately came to his senses and gave the order while enduring great grief:

"Pass on my order: Mobilize all parts of the country urgently and call up all the troops that can be called up to fight the Han army to the death!"

"At the same time, immediately send an envoy to invite the old general, Jiannajia, to come out and lead the army to fight against the Han army."

"Rafter naga?!"

A minister exclaimed.

They didn't expect that Mo Lizhi would put aside his prejudice and ask Yuan Naga to come out of seclusion at this time.

You know, this Zhuannaga is the patriarch of their Zhuanna tribe, the father of Minglindaye and the comrade-in-arms of Minglindafu of the old Moli branch. His experience and prestige are among the best in the country.

Yes, Minglinjia is not the patriarch of the Qianna tribe. It is the rise of Minglin Daye supernova that has enabled him to transcend the tribal blood ties and gain recognition from all members of the Qianna tribe with his strength.

For this reason, after his father's death, Ming Lin Daye had always arranged for the old general to stay at home and keep him under his watch.
"Mo Lizhi actually still remembers me?"

In the mansion, Yuanna opened his eyes with a dignified look on his face.

The emissary, who was stared at so hard that his hair stood on end, laughed awkwardly and knelt on the ground, saying:
"You are joking, old general. Mo Lizhi will never forget your contributions. His admiration for you is as immeasurable as the mountains and the sea."

"If it weren't for the current national crisis, I would never dare to disturb you."

Zhuannaga looked at the messenger with a deep gaze and naturally did not believe his flattering words at all.

But his department and the Minglin family are basically one now, and they all prosper and suffer together, so he didn't put on airs anymore, or try to refuse and decline again, and asked directly about the envoy's condition.

This question made him furious, and he said to his family and confidants:

"Waste! This kid is such a waste!"

"Tell him long ago that the gap between Gao and Han is huge. The only way is to take advantage of the fact that Han troops are struggling to make it through the long journey and force them to retreat. Sitting on the river is the key. Don't even think about attacking that river."

"As a result, now that he has caused trouble, he throws up his hands and asks me to clean up his mess?"

“It’s really infuriating!”

Not only did Jiannaga curse in front of the envoy, but he also continued to speak without restraint in front of Minglindaye when he entered the palace.

However, Ming Lin Daye was really helpless at the moment, and he argued with gnashing teeth:
"I have mobilized soldiers from all over the country to defend the capital. I think we can rely on these twin cities to drive back the Han army."

"But it's totally not enough!"

Jiannajia blew his beard and glared:
"This is a plan that will lead to death!"
