Chapter 504: The princes forced the emperor to abdicate, and the King of Qi took the blame!

After a detailed explanation, Ning Chen was full of emotion: "I am indeed a genius in governing the country. I can manage a small Huainan so meticulously. The two courts and three departments are responsible for their respective duties."

"And the tax bureau, if the court follows suit, do you think it is feasible?"

"Your Highness!"

Di Renjie looked serious and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance. Don't act rashly..."

"I understand!"

Ning Chen took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Now, the civil and military officials in the court have criticized me. My father had no choice but to let me inspect Jiangnan and take a look at the current situation in Huainan."

"Mr. Gongtai, please draft a document for me and send it to the court to reassure the ministers."

"This..."

Chen Gong also looked at King Sheng in surprise. Your Highness means... to keep the expedition a secret for the lord?

"What?"

"Sir, you don't want to?"

Chen Gong hurriedly shook his head and explained softly: "Your Highness, the lord is not in Huainan now..."

"Hehe!"

Ning Chen smiled, looked at the three people meaningfully, and said lightly: "Sir, just follow my instructions. I am your master and my brother."

"Yes!"

...

"Withdraw?"

"Is Old Qi crazy? If we withdraw at this time, won't we leave our backs to the Li people?"

"We can't withdraw. Pass my order. The whole army will resist the enemy. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!"

When the princes heard the news of the King of Qi's withdrawal, they were all furious and full of resentment. They had 300,000 allied forces, but now they had to withdraw because of a charge of 30,000 cavalry from the Great Li.

If it spreads, won't they be laughed at by heroes all over the world?

Where will the nine princes save their dignity?

"Damn it, we shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."

"Brothers, don't the Li people have more horses than us?"

"Put up your spears for me..."

The most hot-tempered King Zhao raised his spear, turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him, and shouted, "Follow me!"

"Your Majesty!"

"We can't charge anymore, our arrows can't penetrate the armor of the Li people at all!"

"Our weapons can't compare to those of the Li people, a chop will directly roll the blades, let's withdraw first!"

"..."

King Zhao held his spear tightly, looking at the Li cavalry in front of him, breaking through the defense lines like a broken bamboo, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"The front army becomes the rear army, retreat!"

"This time, I must ask the King of Qi for an explanation!"

...

A great battle ended, Ning Fan did not lead his army to pursue the victory, after all, the allied forces of the princes were numerous and powerful, although Dayu's cavalry was strong and invincible, the soldiers would eventually be exhausted.

Now that this battle has yielded a lot of rewards, continuing the fierce battle will only result in both sides being hurt.

Whether it is the White Robe Army, the Black Armor Army, or the Bingzhou Wolf Riders, they are all Ning Fan's treasures. In the future, they will compete with Dayan's Dragon Riders. It is not worth it to lose them here!

"My lord, in this battle, we killed at least 60,000 coalition troops!"

"Hehe, this group of rabble was directly emboldened by us!"

"We have seized six of the nine princes' flags."

Xu Chu grinned and came to Ning Fan, with an excited look on his face. Blood kept dripping from his armor, and he didn't know whether it was the enemy's or his own.

"Yes!"

"Order the three armies to return to the city immediately!"

"Yes!"

Ning Fan, wearing armor and riding a warhorse, looked at the pass in the distance, and then rode directly towards the direction of the Eightfold Pass.

"Hahaha, it's really great to be able to fight side by side with you seniors today!"

"The bravery of Wudao Tianwang, I Yang Zaixing is inferior to him!"

Yang Zaixing looked at Ran Min with admiration. He was crazy enough in fighting, but he didn't expect that Ran Min was even more brutal than him. Today, there were at least 800 enemy troops killed by the two of them.

Lv Bu was mingling in the crowd with a sullen face. He should have won the first place today, but he didn't expect that he was tricked by Huang Hansheng.

"Lord, is there enough wine tonight?"

Dian Wei shouted at Ning Fan's back, and Xu Chu grinned and said, "Of course there is enough. Maybe if the lord is happy, he will introduce you to a woman!"

"Hehe, I don't need it!"

...

Nine-layer pass.

One after another, blood-soaked figures walked into the city gate, each face was filled with confusion and fear, with their heads drooping, like a defeated rooster.

The King of Qi stood quietly on the tower, looking at the vast sky from afar, his expression extremely deep.

"Your Highness, the princes are waiting in the hall now."

"Yes!"

"In this battle, we have more than 10,000 casualties, and the princes of all walks of life have died more than 60,000 in total!"

The King of Qi turned his head and looked at the scholar beside him, "Wu Xiang, in your opinion, where did our Guanshan army fail in this battle?"

"Your Highness, the key to this defeat is that the generals of Dali are extremely brave, the morale of Dali soldiers is high, and Dali's weapons and armor are excellent."

"And?"

"My Guanshan princes are not united."

Wu Xiang's eyes were deep, and he said calmly: "If King Xu was besieged by the white-robed cavalry, King Chu and King Bei would support from both wings, or even outflank him, even if he was defeated, he would never be defeated so badly."

"In this battle, the army under King Xu was almost annihilated."

"I'm afraid the princes are going to be alienated."

The King of Qi sighed deeply upon hearing this, and said with regret: "Although the weapons of Dali are sharp, my Guanshan army has more than 300,000 soldiers, ten times that of Dali."

"Even if everyone holds a fire stick, we can bury these 30,000 cavalry here."

"But, the princes are alienated, and the army is hard to use."

"This battle, the defeat is justified, the defeat is complete."

"Let's go and see their faces, it's time to put eye drops on me again."

The King of Qi walked down the tower and came to the General's Mansion of Jiuchongguan with a few guards. The princes had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the figure of the King of Qi, their faces instantly sank.

"King of Qi!"

"Why did you order the withdrawal?"

King Zhao was the first to step forward and question, with some anger in his eyes: "At the critical moment, you shook the morale of the army and retreated in front of the battlefield. Nearly 10,000 of my men were buried on the battlefield!"

"How do you want me to explain to my brothers?"

King Qi looked around, and his eyes gradually became cold: "So, the root cause of this defeat is actually my fault?"

"Humph!"

"We have traveled thousands of miles to help you, but you have such a sinister intention that you actually used the Dali to weaken our power."

"They are all living people!!"

"King Qi, today, you must give me an explanation and give an explanation to my 20,000 men!"

"Yes, if you don't give an explanation, don't blame me for turning against you!"
