Chapter 723 The Ambition of King Dongyue

"Have you walked out of the palace yet?"

The King of Dongyue no longer had the intention to sit above, but stood among the civil servants and military generals anxiously asking for solutions.

The city defenses on the outer layer of the royal city have been broken, and there is no need to report. You can already hear the shouts of killing outside in the palace!

At this moment, the army is coming outside the palace, so how can we sit still?

After hearing General Liu's words, his expression couldn't help but stagnate.

Originally, he had high hopes for General Liu, who was very good at analyzing the battle situation!

I hope Dongyue can really produce a talented person and overcome this difficulty.

I still hope that I could really get into the analysis, defending the royal city and leaving the Qin army withdrew from food!

Who would have thought that it was not long before the Qin army actually rushed outside the palace!

Excited, the voice became sharper!

General Liu raised his head and said calmly: "I am trusted by the king to protect the safety of the royal city, so naturally put the safety of the king first!

Therefore, after receiving the order, I inspected the defense of the palace and confirmed that there were no omissions before going to the outer city to defend!

Who would have thought that as soon as I walked out of the palace gate, the news came that the city had broken out!

Moreover, the generals guarding the city ahead neglected their duties and even siege 30,000 Qin troops as ten thousand!

This will lead to our miscalculation of the Qin army's strength, and this crime will be punished!"

Anyway, the previous guard and the soldier who came to report were killed in the first round of arrow rain, so there is no evidence of death!

And the situation is critical now and there is no way to confront each other.

"Three...thirty thousand Qin troops~!"

When the King of Dongyue heard the number of enemy troops, his eyelids twitched wildly, and he was so scared that he couldn't speak.

I used to think that the Qin army was 10,000 troops, but now it has become 30,000!

How can they still hold on?

General Liu immediately took a step forward and said confidently: "Please be relieved for the time being. I have strengthened the defense of the palace before, and the Qin army will not rush in for a while!"

Then he sighed and said, "If I hadn't checked the omissions in filling the palace's defense, I'm afraid the Qin army would have already rushed in!"

The King of Dongyue looked panicked, and he could no longer think about whether the argument that just now was true or false.

I only know that because the newly appointed general was meticulous and loyal, he temporarily blocked the Qin army.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I've become a prisoner at this moment!

The civil officials and military generals below had no intention of questioning any more after hearing that the Qin army had arrived outside the palace.

Each of them showed a look of horror on their faces.

According to convention, once the city is broken, the King of Dongyue may be able to save his life for the time being.

But these important officials will undoubtedly die!

Like headless flies, they were anxiously asking each other for their solutions!

The King of Dongyue was in a panic and asked in a panic: "General Liu, what should I do?"

General Liu was waiting for this sentence and immediately said: "The Qin army was too strong, even though I had gathered nearly a thousand remnants, I could not resist it!

It is probably only a matter of time before the palace was broken!

Only now can I abandon the city!"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

Although many people are mentally prepared, they are still in a complicated mood when they hear this sentence.

Abandoning the city and giving up the royal city is no different from destroying the country!

Their families and wealth are all here, and once they abandon the city, it is equivalent to giving up everything!

I'm afraid that except for myself, even my family will fall into the hands of the Qin army!

The King of Dongyue's lips moved and his face turned pale.

Subconsciously, he took a step back, tripped by the steps, and sat on the ground.

His lips squirmed, his face full of fear and helplessness.

If you abandon the city, do you want him to give up the position of King Dongyue?

I can't bear to bear it!

General Liu's face was calm, but he was very anxious.

He knew clearly that the guards outside could not stop them for long.

If you don’t abandon the city and escape, you may not even have the chance to escape from the only unbreakable city gate!

He immediately persuaded: "Although the city is abandoned, as long as the king is still there, the Kingdom of Dongyue will not perish!

As long as we join the main army ahead and have a hundred thousand troops here, we will have the chance to fight back!

When the old King of Yue slept with firewood and tasted gall, he destroyed the Wu Kingdom in one fell swoop and became one of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period!

The king was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there were another 100,000 troops in his hands. The situation was much better than it was back then!

As long as you work hard to manage, you will definitely be able to get back within ten years!"

When the King of Dongyue heard the story of his ancestors sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, he couldn't help but feel excited!

In the third year of King Goujian of Yue, Goujian heard that King Fuchai of Wu was preparing to attack Yue day and night.

Goujian decided to take the initiative and attack Wu before the State of Wu sent troops.

Fan Li dissuaded him, but Goujian refused to listen and continued to send troops.

Later, Fuchai sent all the elite troops to attack the Vietnamese army, and defeated the Vietnamese army in Fujiao.

Goujian retreated to Kuaiji with only 5,000 troops, and the Wu army then besieged the Yue army.

King Goujian of Yue regretted it. Fan Li suggested that Goujian ask for peace from King Fuchai of Wu and join the State of Wu as a minister. So Goujian ordered the official Wen Zhong to go to the State of Wu to seek peace.

It indicated that King Goujian of Yue was willing to join Wu and took his wife and son as his ministers. King Fuchai of Wu agreed to Goujian's request, but Prime Minister Wu Zixu opposed the matter and believed that God wanted Wu to destroy Yue, but could not agree to King Yue's request.

After Wen Zhong returned to Yue Kingdom, he told Gou Jian about Wu Kingdom's attitude. Gou Jian decided to kill his wife and children and fought with Wu Kingdom to the death. Wen Zhong believed that Bo Yu, the Dazai of Wu Kingdom, was greedy for money by nature and could give money to him to alienate the king and ministers of Wu Kingdom.

Goujian thought it was feasible, so he sent someone to give it to Bo Shao's beautiful woman. Bo Shao really accepted the bribe from Yue Kingdom.

Go to the King of Wu Fuchai: "If you continue to attack Yue Kingdom, Goujian will kill his wife and children, burn the palace, and fight to the death with Wu Kingdom. At that time, the whole country of Yue Kingdom will be united, and the remaining five thousand people will share the same hatred of the enemy, and it will be even more difficult to make profits from it."

King Fuchai of Wu thought it made sense and accepted the invitation from Yue State.

Wu Zixu warned the King of Wu: "If you give a good opportunity today, you will never destroy Yue, and you will regret it in the future!" Wu Fuchai, King of Wu, did not listen to Wu Zixu's words, pardoned King Goujian of Yue, and withdrew his troops from Yue.

Goujian was taken to Wu and was humiliated!

Even later, he was favored by King Fuchai of Wu!

But in order to restore the country, he could only swallow his teeth if he broke it.

After a few years, I finally found an opportunity to return to Yue Kingdom!

But every time I was late at night, I would think of the humiliation I endured in Wu State!

Under the efforts to rule, he finally rose again and defeated the Wu Kingdom in one fell swoop!

Become one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period!

The King of Dongyue recalled the story of his ancestors not despair when they were in a dilemma, and his final rise was full of passion.

It seems like seeing hope in despair!

Even the previous horror seemed to be a little less.

General Liu was right, at least he still had a 100,000 army.

He did not become a prisoner of the Qin army!

The situation is much better than that of our ancestors!

As long as you work hard to manage, you won’t be able to get back one day!

At that time, the Emperor of Qin will also become a prisoner!

The King of Dongyue was instantly full of fighting spirit, and seemed to have endless strength under his feet, and his teeth were tightly clenched.

I stood up!

He whispered: "Abandon the city!"
