"?" Then, the talkative Lady Boss would also be speechless after Tang Yin's words.
The mysterious disappearance of the General Wang did not cause any trouble, and in the current chaotic Pufeng City, no one would pay attention to the cause of the disappearance of a low ranked officer.
At noon that day, Ma Qian led the Pufeng guards and hung a white flag at the top of the city gates. They opened the gates and sent people to the Feng camp to hand over the Capitulation. Following the surrender of the remaining Mo Army, the battle of Pufeng also came to an end.
Xu Leng Qi, who had originally strived mightily for a fight to the death with Feng Army, was ultimately unable to resist the footsteps of Feng Army heading south. More than six hundred thousand of his Central Army had been completely annihilated in the battle of Pufeng, and more importantly, his Mo Country had also lost two great generals, Xu Leng Qi and Xiang Wen, with one man and one warrior.
It could be said that the battle of Pufeng was the key point that affected Feng Mo's battle. After the battle, the Mo Country side of him had already suffered a great blow to his vitality, but the strength of his Feng Army side had multiplied, so much so that even the not-so-good Yu Army could sense that victory was not too far away from him.
The most important point was that this battle had caused An and Huan Kingdoms, who were originally just watching, to completely make up their minds to stand on the side of Feng Country. The resulting chain reaction would be an all-out invasion by An Huan and Huan's armies.
With the excuse that they had to listen to the commands of the Son of Heaven, the An and Huan Clans advanced from the south and southwest of Mo Country respectively into the borders of the Mo Country, and began to launch violent attacks against the southern cities and towns of Mo Country.
Its participation in the battle was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Mo Country which was currently in a precarious situation.
Originally, even if Mo Army could not stop the southern side of Feng Army, they could choose to move south to the capital to retreat south. However, the An and Huan armies had cut off the only path of retreat, resulting in the Mo Country Empire becoming a turtle in a jar, with formidable enemies existing in both the east, south, west and north.
The war had become more and more disadvantageous for the Mo Country, and the amount of leeway the Mo Country had to deal with it had become less and less. The Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country that seized the Haowan County could directly take over the capital at any time, and the Ann Army that took advantage of the void could also come under the siege of the city at any time.
Many officials of the Mo Country Palace had already started preparing for their retreat, some planned to escape, and some intended to rely on their Feng Country, especially officials like Grand Preceptor Zhang Rong who had illegitimate relationships with Feng Country in the past, so they would interact more frequently with their Feng Country. They would also repeatedly write letters expressing their willingness to submit to the Feng Country, and were also willing to become its accomplices, helping to take over Zhenjiang.
At the same time, the report about those Feng Country officials who had colluded with others had also spread to King Mo Shao Fang, but Shao Fang had never seen most of the reports.
Right now, Shao Fang was becoming more and more indifferent to the imperial government, searching for joy in the harem all day. It was more like he was trying to escape than being confused. Even if he were to sit in the imperial court twenty-four hours a day, it would be of no use to the entire battle situation.
When the strength of the two sides was about the same, an outstanding Monarch could definitely play a crucial role, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was already so great that it was impossible to make up for. Even if gods descended, it would not be able to solve the problem of Mo Country.
Unable to withstand the pressure of being surrounded by internal and external troubles, Shao Fang chose to ignore them, and indulge himself in alcohol and sex all day long. Since this was the case for the monarch, the ministers under him could imagine that everyone was scheming on the way out for the future.
But now, it was actually the likes of the Left Premier Guo Hui and the Great General Li Jin who were good at flattering and fawning on others that had started to worry. As long as Shao Fang was here, only if his Mo Country did not die, would they be able to continue enjoying their glory and wealth, and once Shao Fang was crippled, his Mo Country would be destroyed, and their good days would come to an end.
Because of this, Guo Hui, Li Jin and the other ministers had more than once gone to see Shao Fang, requesting him to take charge of the imperial court, take care of the imperial government, and save the Mo Country from fire and water. However, Shao Fang could not listen to them at all. Before they even finished speaking, Shao Fang already became impatient and had the guards below to expel them all.
In the end, Guo Hui, Li Jin and the rest had no other choice but to think of another person, the original Right Prime Minister Dong Sheng. Back then, due to the struggles between the factions, Guo Hui, Li Jin, Zhang Rong and the others had teamed up to kick Dong Sheng out of the Mo Country palace. Although their ideas were different, Guo Hui and Li Jin understood that Dong Sheng was actually very capable, with the huge pile of government affairs and the King ignoring all government affairs, if no one came out to take charge of the situation, the Mo Country would be finished.
The treacherous officials who had persecuted Dong Sheng in the past had now shamelessly invited him to come out and take charge of the court affairs, and advised the King to cheer up.
Dong Sheng had long ago given up on Shao Fang, but when the life and death of the country was at stake, he had put down his personal grudges and accepted the invitations from Guo Hui and the other ministers, and immediately headed to the palace to meet Shao Fang.
When Shao Fang, who was still playing in the rear palace and drunk, saw Dong Sheng, he almost suspected that he had seen something wrong. He shook his head and rubbed his eyes hard, confirming that the person in front of him was Dong Sheng. You... Why is he here? This king has not summoned you to the palace! "
Dong Sheng's official position and title had already been taken care of by Shao Fang, and now he was just a normal commoner. If not for Guo Hui, Li Jin and the other ministers accompanying him, he would never be able to enter the palace.
Without waiting for Dong Sheng to speak, Guo Tai and Li Jun immediately walked over and explained to Shao Fang.
After the two of them finished speaking, Shao Fang's head was shaking like a rattle drum. He did not even look at Dong Sheng and waved his hands, saying, "Scram, scram, scram! Since This King gave up his official position at the beginning, then This King will definitely not reactivate it. "
"Does the King want to become the ruler of a destroyed country?" Dong Sheng, who had been silent all this time, was filled with anger the moment he spoke.
It had been a long time since Shao Fang had heard these 'evil words' from the audience, he stared blankly at Dong Sheng, and at the same time, forgot to be angry.
Dong Sheng didn't care what he was thinking in his heart, and continued: "Your Majesty is going to do three things now. The first was to immediately go to court and burn all those reports in front of the civil and military officials, thereby stabilizing the people's hearts. Second, immediately use the Huben Army to command Nan Yan, and have General Nan Yan lead the Huben Army to the south to clash with the Ann Army and Huan Army. Third, immediately send the Eastern Ocean Water Army's vice commander-in-chief, Gao Hang, back to the capital, and let him lead the water army to guard the Zhenjiang in case of danger, to stop the Wind and Jade Army from crossing the river. "
Shao Fang was stunned for a good while. He blinked his eyes, let out a cold laugh, and asked back: "Why do I have to listen to all your nonsense?"
Dong Sheng's face darkened as he said, "Listening to me, the King can be considered a hard bone unconscious ruler. If you don't listen to me, the King will be completely muddle-headed."
"How dare you!" When Shao Fang heard this, he was furious. He pointed at Dong Sheng's nose and said, "When this king didn't kill you back then, it was already an enormous favor. Yet you didn't repent and still dare to speak rudely in front of this king ?"
Without waiting for him to finish, Dong Sheng shook his head repeatedly, turning a blind eye to Shao Fang's anger. He fell silent for a moment, then sighed towards the sky: "I've said all that I could possibly say, with my talent, I can only think of this much. King listening or not, is not something I can decide." As he spoke to here, he kneeled on the ground and kowtowed. Suddenly, he changed his tone and said, "Today, this old servant will bid farewell to the great king."0
Although Shao Fang did not like Dong Sheng, his throne had been obtained for him by Dong Sheng after all. From the bottom of his heart, he had some sort of special relationship with Dong Sheng, and it was precisely because of this reason that no matter how much Dong Sheng angered him, he did not kill Dong Sheng.
Now that he suddenly heard Dong Sheng say his goodbyes, Shao Fang's heart trembled. He subconsciously leaned forward, acting as if he didn't care, and asked unconcernedly: "What? Even you want to run? You want to hide from the Thief Feng and escape from the capital to seek refuge? "
As if he did not hear his ridicule, Dong Sheng said seriously: "Because you are not as strong as him, so the death of a country is not scary, nor is it shameful. What is terrifying is the shamelessness of sitting down and waiting for death, the King is the king, you better not make it difficult for me, Mo, to raise my head for the rest of my life!" While speaking, the old man suddenly stood up, at the same time, he turned his body, and pulled out his sword from Li Jin's ribs.
His sudden action scared everyone present, Li Jin was even more so, scared pale, and screamed: "Dong Sheng, what are you trying to do?" Saying that, he shouted again, "Protect the king! "Protect the king, hurry and send someone to protect the king ?"
Without him even needing to shout, the surrounding palace guards immediately stood to the side to protect Shao Fang, while a large group of guards surrounded Dong Sheng.
Shao Fang was not afraid. Instead, his eyebrows wrinkled and a look of worry appeared on his face. He berated in a low voice, "Dong Sheng, do you know what you're doing!? This is going to lose your head! "
Dong Sheng laughed out loud, he looked at the sword in his hand, and without any warning, he raised it and placed it on his own neck. The old man looked at the people around, and in the end, his gaze landed on Shao Fang's face, and laughed indifferently: If you really want to use the blood of loyal officials to wake up the unconscious king, then, this old man is willing to offer! As he spoke, he used all his strength to wipe down the sword.
"Pu!"
Dong Sheng had always been known for being ruthless, and he was also ruthless to himself. This strike almost broke half of his neck, and scarlet blood sprayed out, splattering far away, and also splattering onto Shao Fang's face and body.
"No ?" When Shao Fang saw that Dong Sheng wanted to commit suicide, it was already too late to stop him.
Clang! When the sword left his hand, Dong Sheng's body fell to the ground. For a moment, Shao Fang was dumbstruck, the ministers present were dumbstruck, and the guards and palace maids were also dumbfounded.
After an unknown period of time, Shao Fang finally snapped out of his shock. He stared at the corpse on the ground and stood up with a dull expression, slowly walking around the table. Before he even spoke, tears had already started flowing down his face.
"Great King ? ?" Li Jin stepped forward, wanting to pull Shao Fang down, but the latter suddenly swung his arm and forcefully pushed Li Jin away. He slowly walked to Dong Sheng and knelt down beside the corpse. Then, unable to control himself, he laid on the corpse and started crying.
