The whole capital thinks I'm a lone star

Chapter 292 Are Our Defenders So Strong?

Gu family army camp.

Gu Hai didn't expect that Gu Yifei's entire army would be wiped out, he sat on the main seat with a cold face, and the faces of the others were also not very good-looking.

"It doesn't mean that the capital city is full of wine bags and rice bags, how can they have such combat power?"

"It seems that the capital has been prepared for a long time. It will be difficult for us to capture the capital this time."

"Hey, Gu Yifei led our most elite archer, and he lost so badly that he even got caught up with himself. He is very outstanding among the young generals. It's a pity, a pity."

"This time it was really reckless. I lost the first battle and my morale plummeted."

"Oh, I should have listened to General Qing Yu if I knew it earlier."

I don't know who said such a sentence, Gu Hai's face darkened instantly, "Are you accusing me of being unfavorable as a leader?"

"No, General, you misunderstood. The subordinates just feel that this battle is too aggrieved." The young general who said something wrong hastily admitted his mistake, for fear of being blamed.

These words spoke out the hearts of everyone. They have never been defeated since they started their army. They are all high-spirited and want to win the capital in one fell swoop. They never expected that they would be disarmed before the official start.

Gu Hai looked at everyone, "I know that everyone is not convinced and uncomfortable when Gu Yifei lost today. You must know that this defeat was just an accident. He underestimated the enemy. Such an accident must never happen again tomorrow. I understand. ?"

"Understood." Everyone's voice was loud, and they all understood the importance of tomorrow's battle. They can only win but not lose, otherwise the morale will be even lower, and it will be difficult to win at that time.

Late at night, Prime Minister Jiang's residence.

"Prime Minister, now that the war is in crisis, do you think I should invite you to fight?" The Minister of the Ministry of War has a tangled expression. His Majesty has already said that he will go to the imperial conquest. Based on their understanding of His Majesty, how can he know how to fight? He can usually fight people. , fighting a war is completely different from beating people.

"Your Majesty also wants to invite battle. The capital must not be breached. It's fine if you didn't know His Majesty's true identity before. Now that you know that he is the blood of His Highness King Sheng, you can't stand by and watch."

"That's right, if His Royal Highness King Sheng hadn't repelled the Xiling Army back then, there wouldn't be the Great Chu now. Regardless of His Majesty, we should have kept the capital first."

"It would be great if His Royal Highness King Ling was here. His prestigious reputation has already spread throughout Dachu. With him around, the Gu family army will be a little bit afraid."

"Prime Minister, why did His Royal Highness King Ling return to the border?"

These officials are all officials who follow Prime Minister Jiang, and following Prime Minister Jiang means supporting His Royal Highness Ling. Some time ago, it was a critical moment to seize the throne. His Highness Ling suddenly left Beijing. They were very puzzled, but the prime minister didn't say , they are not easy to ask.

"Your Highness has your own plans," Jiang An said while looking at the crowd, "Since Your Majesty has already said that you want to conquest in person, then don't allow others to comment. Don't you understand the temper of our Majesty? It is always the same, and those who disobey will be killed." .

Now that His Majesty has made a decision, we just need to follow orders. You may not know it, but I just received the news that not long ago, a group of Gu family troops provoked under the city wall and were completely wiped out by the defenders. "

"Is our defending army so strong?" An official wondered. The other party was the Gu family army. Although the reputation was not as high as that of the Heijia army, it was also the backbone of the Great Chu army. How could it be so easy to be wiped out?
Other officials also had such doubts, Jiang An looked at them, "I heard that the guard on the tower is Qin Chi, the guard next to His Majesty."
