Simultaneously, in the magnificent Lord Chu's Castle located in the heart of Yenching City,
Inside the study, Chu Tianxiong, a tall and robust man, leaned over the desk, diligently writing with a brush. Outside the door, urgent military orders kept pouring in, causing great alarm!
"Report! The Xi'an border is fully engaged in war. Our army has suffered a surprise attack, losing three checkpoints with heavy casualties."
The loyal Duke behind him felt a chill in his limbs, his heart sinking.
Finally, the war had erupted.
Chu Tianxiong's resolute face remained as calm as ever, his towering figure unwavering.
"Report! Hu Yanqing, the commander-in-chief of the Xi Xia army, has personally led a hundred thousand troops to our doorstep. We can no longer hold on."
"The Xi Xia army has already captured thirteen cities, and Xi Ye urgently requires assistance. It is estimated that we won't last more than three days!"
Boom...
The loyal Duke felt as if the sky had collapsed on him, his face turning pale. He never expected Xi Xia's offensive to be so fierce. In less than three hours, Xi Ye was on the brink of being lost!
With an army of three hundred thousand, even if they were pigs, it would take the enemy more than ten days to capture them!
What were those high-ranking officials thinking? Were their brains filled with nonsense?
Chu Tianxiong paused for a moment, his eyes scanning the messenger who delivered the news. "An army of three hundred thousand can't hold on for three hours? What are the envoys and the provincial governor of Xi Ye doing?"
"Well..." The messenger's eyes evaded, fear evident in his voice. "The envoy is currently negotiating with the high-ranking officials of Xi Ye, attempting to minimize the losses through negotiations with the Xi Xia side."
"Slap!"
