Jun Haotian finished reading the imperial edict and the letter, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
You know, this letter was even delivered to him faster than the imperial edict.
The letter was written to him by his precious son, Jun Lintian.
The letter explained that he was asked to show off and occupy a large city in the Xuanwu Empire by surprise attack, then stand still and have a plan after King Lintian.
In addition, the letter also talked about recent events in the capital.
Including the death of the eldest prince and the death of the second prince.
Jun Lintian also explained in detail how he got rid of these two people.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Jun Haotian looked pleased.
My son has grown up!
He was actually not surprised that Jun Lintian was able to kill the eldest prince.
Although he is far away in the north, he still has information channels about what is happening in the capital.
The news of the eldest prince’s death had come before.
What really surprised Jun Haotian was that his precious son was able to get rid of the second prince in such a short period of time.
Jun Lintian was even able to predict Emperor Zhou's actions and guessed in advance that Emperor Zhou would issue this imperial edict for Jun Haotian to attack the Xuanwu Empire.
So he asked Jun Mengyao to send someone to deliver the letter to the north early.
This is to prevent the message from being delivered in time and ruining the plan.
After Jun Haotian finished reading the letter, he burned it, then sat on the main seat of the military tent and began to think in his heart.
Now he is more and more aware that his son is becoming more and more capable, more tactful and cunning than him.
If it were Jun Haotian himself, he might not be able to make such considerations and plans in Kyoto.
Jun Haotian is also increasingly satisfied with Jun Lintian.
Even now, Jun Haotian can safely leave the Jun family to Jun Lintian to take care of it.
Under Jun Lintian’s leadership, perhaps the Jun family will develop even stronger!
"Come here!"
Jun Haotian shouted outside the military tent.
Afterwards, his deputy general came in immediately and knelt down on one knee: "The general is here, what are your orders, general?"
Jun Haotian smiled proudly: "Pass this order to the general, and I will personally lead an army of one hundred thousand to attack Xuanyang City!"
"The last general takes the order!"
The deputy general clasped his fists respectfully, no Not the slightest doubt or doubt.
There was even a little excitement in his heart.
Their army has been dormant here in the north for too long, and their hands and feet are getting rusty. It’s time to show off their talents!
As a very capable general, Jun Haotian would never procrastinate in doing things.
After he ordered his troops and horses, he immediately led his army to attack Xuanyang City of the Xuanwu Empire.
Soldiers are valuable and quick.
Jun Haotian led the army under the cover of night and quickly attacked Xuanyang City with lightning speed.
And occupied it as a base.
Although some people escaped, he didn't take it to heart.
After all, the news here has to be sent to the Xuanwu Empire.
————————
The next day, Xuanwu Empire.
Capital, inside the palace.
It was early morning time, and Emperor Wu was quite upset after listening to the various questions raised by these civil servants and generals.
He didn't know why, but he just felt a little panicked.
He had never been in such a situation before.
"I'm a little tired, let's retreat from the court."
Emperor Wu couldn't stand listening anymore, not to mention that most of the questions raised by these civil servants were minor ones and were left for later. It’s okay to solve it. He was about to stand up, but at this moment he saw a messenger outside, holding a military report, running in quickly.
Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to enter the Council Hall wearing armor.
But the messengers are different. After all, what they send are urgent reports from the border. If they are delayed, it will lead to catastrophe.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Urgent report from the border crossing eight hundred miles away."
The messengers rushed all the way, and they didn’t know how many horses were killed. At this moment, he himself was out of breath. Angry, dizzy and almost fell.
"Eight hundred miles urgent report?!"
The civil servants and military generals in the political hall were all dumbfounded.
Including Emperor Wu was a little stunned at this moment. He quickly ordered the eunuch next to him: "Go and get a bowl of goat milk! Feed him."
The messenger drank a bowl. After taking the goat milk, I felt I had regained some strength.
At this moment, he immediately handed over the urgent report in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he knelt down on one knee and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the border war has begun!"
"The Great Zhou Dynasty sent 100,000 troops and horses to attack Xuanyang City on our border last night!"
The civil servants and military generals did not recover from the shock.
Now that I heard what the messenger said, I was completely dumbfounded.
“What? Why did the war suddenly start?”
"Our dynasty and Zhou Dynasty have been living in peace for several years. How can we just fight?"
"But it's not bad. They are attacking Xuanyang City. There are many troops stationed in Xuanyang City. With General Qin Chi in charge, we will definitely not be able to defeat him within a few months."
The impatient general next to him immediately asked: "Commander, please tell me how the battle is going!"
The messenger did not dare to speak.
Many ministers saw the expressions on the faces of the messengers, and for a moment they seemed to realize something, and they all looked at the Emperor Wu on the dragon throne.
But at this moment, Emperor Wu's face was extremely ugly. It was obvious that the situation of the battle was extremely bad.
"Waste! Waste!"
Emperor Wu angrily threw out the urgent letter in his hand and shouted: "It has only been one night, but Xuanyang City has been lost? !”
“What’s Qin Chi doing!” He just defended Xuanyang City like this! There won't be any action.
After all, when he sent Xuan Ye to ambush and kill the second prince, he made them wear black clothes and did not use the banner of the Xuanwu Empire.
The most important thing is that Xuan Ye also confirmed that no one was left alive.
But no matter what happens now, no matter who leaked the news, or whether Xuan Ye made a mistake.
Now that the war has begun, Emperor Wu has to hold his nose and admit it.
But he never expected it.
He actually lost a county and city overnight, and it was a big city like Xuanyang City!
Even several counties around Xuanyang City were captured by the armies of the Zhou Dynasty.
You know, there are nearly 100,000 people in Xuanyang City!
There are even 30,000 troops stationed!
This is just to let them defend the city. Thirty thousand garrison troops defended the city, but they could not withstand the attack of a hundred thousand troops and horses, and they could not even hold out for one night.
This is simply rubbish to the extreme!
Even if 30,000 pigs were put there, it would be enough for 100,000 people to kill them for several days!
"Who leads the army of the Zhou Dynasty?"
Emperor Wu quickly realized the problem and hurriedly asked the messenger.
The messenger immediately said: "It's General Jun Haotian. Last night, he personally committed suicide on the top of the city."
"What?! It's Jun Haotian!"
For a moment, the faces of everyone in the political hall became ugly. (End of this chapter)
