"This, this...how could this happen?"
After seeing the contents of the urgent report, a spokesman for the Yushitai couldn't help but swallowed.
Logically speaking, Jun Lintian is living well in Xuanwu City, and the Xuanwu Empire has no intention of starting a war.
Why did Jun Haotian occupy another city now?
Is he really bent on starting a war?
Emperor Wu was also very confused at this time. Ever since Jun Lintian came to Xuanwu City, he had always planned to use the non-resistance policy.
And I really want to reduce big things to small things, and make small things small.
In short, he did not want to go to war with the Zhou Dynasty.
In addition, Emperor Wu felt that he and Jun Lintian had almost agreed.
The general meaning is that we have to wait until Jun Haotian withdraws his troops, and then both sides will be in peace.
But why did the situation suddenly change now?
Could it be because of the incident that the eldest prince caused before?
Although Emperor Wu had already sent people to stop the secretly assembled troops, the movements of the troops there were probably still under Jun Haotian's control.
If Jun Haotian mistakenly thinks that they are secretly mobilizing troops, be prepared to fight back.
Then it seems not unreasonable for him to take the initiative to fight and occupy a city...
"What do you, my beloved ministers, think of this matter?"
The Emperor Wu glanced at all the civil officials and military generals present, wanting to ask them what they thought.
In fact, Emperor Wu really can’t stand it anymore.
He really couldn't bear it. Jun Haotian's army pressed forward and not only occupied Xuanyang City, but now Wuyang City was also occupied.
It was like there was a bright sharp knife hanging on his neck, which might chop off his head at any time.
At this time, all the generals had angry expressions on their faces.
Immediately someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I invite you to fight."
"Jun Haotian is too arrogant. We have already allowed his son to act recklessly in Xuanwu City, and even the Marquis Both the prince and the prince died in the hands of Jun Lintian, but we still haven’t held Jun Lintian accountable.”
“That’s right! Why does he have the nerve to continue to threaten us?”
"Although the veteran is old, he still hopes to serve the Xuanwu Empire to the last possible extent. The veteran also wants to fight!"
A military general with a gray beard and a slightly stooped figure also cupped his hands with a careless and awe-inspiring look on his face.
They have all had enough now. It is intolerable that Jun Lintian acted so boldly in Xuanwu City and did not take their Xuanwu Empire into consideration at all.
Even if they really have to fight to the death with the Zhou Dynasty, they are willing to admit it.
But those civil servants disagreed at all.
"Your Majesty! We can't fight. The young master of the Jun family has made it very clear before. The reason why the Jun family sent troops to go on an expedition was simply because they received orders from the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty."

"Perhaps this time, Emperor Zhou deliberately provoked relations between our borders?"
After pondering for a while, Li Yongning also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation at the border is not clear yet. It’s better to invite the young master of the Jun family to the political affairs hall to ask for a clear explanation.”
Although he doesn’t know Jun Lintian very well, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no need for Jun Lintian to really let the Jun family and the Xuanwu Empire go. Start a war.
In fact, he had already investigated the situation in the Zhou Dynasty in the past two days.
Li Yongning knew that the Jun family was indeed incompatible with the Zhou Dynasty.
If this battle really breaks out and the Jun family suffers heavy losses, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty will definitely take advantage.
As for the incident caused by the eldest prince before, it was most likely the trigger for Jun Haotian's rage.
That’s why he suggested that Emperor Wu call Jun Lintian to the political affairs hall to find out.
Hearing this, Emperor Wu finally nodded, asking these civil servants to calm down a little. The military attache is like a powder keg that explodes at the drop of a hat.
Risking your life with others at every turn is what only a fool would do.
"That's fine, Eunuch Liu, go and invite the young master of the Jun family."
Eunuch Liu immediately accepted the order, and then left the Yizheng Hall to look for Jun Lintian. .
However, the atmosphere in the political hall was still solemn at this moment.
Li Yongning did not have any psychological burden. Although he was willing to think about the Xuanwu Empire, at this critical moment, he naturally tried his best to preserve the Li family.
As long as Li Yongning can marry Jun Lintian, no matter which side wins this war, he will definitely make a profit.
The Emperor Wu was also deep in thought at the moment, and things had already progressed to this point.
He could still roughly guess some reasons, and they were all related to the eldest prince.
I think it was precisely because he just put the eldest prince in the sky prison without imposing any punishment, that he aroused the dissatisfaction of Jun Lintian or Jun Haotian.
If this is the case, then maybe he will have to give up his own son.
In short, in the political hall at this moment, civil and military officials gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the current situation, and Emperor Wu had no intention of paying attention to other things.
Anyuan Hou took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on him, and quickly found an opportunity to sneak out secretly.
A moment later, he arrived at the First Prince's Mansion again.
The eldest prince had obviously just received some news, and he looked obviously nervous at the moment.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
As soon as he saw Anyuan Hou coming in, he immediately stopped him and asked him.
Anyuan Hou said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, there was an urgent report from the border just now. Jun Haotian led the army and captured Wuyang City in just a few hours!"
“What?!”
After hearing this, the eldest prince was really stunned.
Wuyang City is a city with strong defense on the border of their Xuanwu Empire.
Xuanyang City has a slightly larger population at best, but Wuyang City is basically filled with garrison troops.
No matter how strong Jun Haotian's 100,000-strong army is, it is impossible to defeat Wuyang City in just a few hours!
But it just happened.
The eldest prince could not help but swallow, and became even more nervous.
"Is there anything else Jun Haotian can do?"
Marquis Anyuan shook his head and continued: "After occupying Wuyang City, Jun Haotian stuck to these two cities and had no preparation to continue attacking."
"In my opinion, I’m afraid he is still trying to establish his power!”
From the current point of view, Jun Haotian does not have any intention of starting a complete war. He just occupied these two cities. And don't kill the surrendered generals.
The purpose is to negotiate with the Xuanwu Empire.
But your Majesty neither wants to fight back nor negotiate with Jun Lintian. What is your Majesty doing?
But the eldest prince was frowning at this moment. He had a vague feeling that Jun Haotian might be coming for him this time!
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Anyuan Hou asked.
The eldest prince pondered for a long time, then slammed the table: "Isn't this a good opportunity?"
"I just take this opportunity to force my father to go to war!" ( End of chapter)
