Chapter 1455 The Remains

At noon the next day, when Qin Qihu was leading his troops to attack Gongbu City, a small team of Yun Zheng's guards caught up with them and handed over Su Zan's body to them.

Seeing Su Zan's body, even Qin Qihu couldn't help but sigh.

This old man, um...

Pity!

Qin Qihu sighed inwardly and immediately ordered the army to speed up and move towards Gongbu City. As they got closer and closer to Gongbu City, Qin Qihu became more cautious and added several scouts to explore in all directions of Gongbu.

During this period, their scouts also learned from the people of Xiqu that there was indeed a group of people marching towards Ganci, but yesterday afternoon, those people ran back to Gongbu in a panic.

Upon learning of this result, Qin Qihu felt even more regretful.

Damn it, it would be great if all of Su Zan’s guards were wiped out.

They are cavalry!

By the time the spies sent by the enemy infantry to support Ganci discovered them, it was too late to run away!

Damn it!

If that's the case, then those scouts who tried their best to capture Su Zan seemed to have done something really bad.

However, having said that, Su Zan's death can also hit the enemy's morale.

So, it seems like they still have merit?

Qin Qihu counted on his fingers for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. He could only shout to the messenger: "Report to His Highness immediately. Our troops will besiege Gongbu before 3 p.m. today. Also, order Xiao Dingwu's troops to report their movements immediately and keep in touch with our troops at any time!"

After the messenger left, Qin Qihu immediately led the army to move closer to Gongbu.

……

In Kampot city.

Upon learning that Puwang had rebelled, Ganci had fallen, and even Suzan had been captured by the enemy, King Fa Qiang was thrown into panic.

At the reminder of his close ministers, King Fa Qiang ordered people to detain Puwang's family members and urgently summoned the nobles and ministers of Fa Qiang to discuss countermeasures.

However, King Fa Qiang did not kill Puwang's family.

Although he was angry, he had not lost his mind.

Puwang's wife was actually his daughter.

Killing Puwang's family will not benefit the current Fa Qiang at all.

It’s better to keep them, maybe they will come in handy someday.

However, more than a day has passed.

They could not think of any other solution except to defend Ganci City to the death.

Now the military forces in the heart of Xiqu are too weak!

Even Gongbu has only so many troops, let alone other places.

Now, they didn't talk about how to repel the enemy, but only about how to defend Gongbu.

"Report..."

Just when everyone was in a state of panic, a guard came hurriedly to report: "Your Majesty, the spies have sent news that the enemy's vanguard, about 10,000 cavalry, is less than 20 miles away from Gongbu!"

Hearing the guard's words, everyone suddenly panicked.

"Ten thousand cavalry?"

"How come it's here so quickly?"

"The vanguard alone has 10,000 cavalry, and there are probably at least 50,000 or 60,000 troops behind them!"

"These 10,000 cavalrymen are definitely not here to attack the city. They are here to besiege Gongbu and attack our reinforcements!"

"My lord, what should we do now?"

Everyone was talking about it, with a gloomy look on their faces.

The only thing they could be thankful for now was that after receiving the news of the fall of Ganci, Yu Bolun hurriedly led the 5,000 reinforcements and rushed back to Gongbu day and night.

If those 5,000 men had run a little slower, they would have been killed by the enemy cavalry.

"Why panic!"

Just when everyone was in a panic, Yu Bolun, with red eyes, suddenly let out a loud roar.

After Yu Bolun's roar, everyone suddenly stopped talking and their eyes fell on him.

"The enemy's vanguard consists of only 10,000 cavalrymen. Do they dare to attack the city?"

Yu Bolun stood up and glared at everyone: "King Chinpu has ordered Lob Tenzin and the army that was encircling the rebels in Hun Valley to withdraw. Their vanguard will cross the river within two days at the latest!"

"Once their army arrives, even if the enemy has 50,000 or 60,000 troops, what is there to fear?"

"What we have to do now is to defend Gongbu! Make sure Gongbu is not lost before our army withdraws!"

"The enemy's vanguard just came over, and Fa Qiang Shang Xia Jiu was completely confused."

"When the enemy's follow-up troops arrive, won't you be frightened to death in this city?"

He was already extremely sad because his father was captured by the enemy and shot by an arrow.

Now seeing the cowardly look of Fa Qiang and others, how could he not be angry?

"presumptuous!"

After hearing Yu Bolun's unpleasant words, some of the Fa Qiang nobles could no longer sit still. "Yu Bolun, we are here to discuss matters with the king. When is it your turn to act wildly?"

As soon as someone spoke, others followed suit.

"that is!"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you teach us a lesson?"

"You are the Prime Minister's only son. Didn't the Prime Minister teach you basic etiquette?"

"Since you are worried about your father's safety, I will not bother with you today!"

Everyone was very dissatisfied with Bo Lun's unpleasant words.

Yu Bolun is just Su Zan's son, not Su Zan!

He doesn't have the prestige that Su Zan has.

As for Yu Bolun, do you still want to teach them a lesson?

I don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is!

Facing the mocking gazes of the crowd, Yu Bolun was so angry that he trembled all over and clenched his fists tightly.

For a moment, he really wanted to rush over and punch these cowards.

"Shut up, my king!"

King Fa Qiang stopped the quarrel in time and said, "I summoned you here to discuss matters, not to quarrel! If anyone dares to act rashly again, don't blame me for being merciless!"

As King Fa Qiang spoke, the noisy crowd finally quieted down.

However, many people still looked at Yu Bolun with contempt.

If Su Zan scolded them in public, they would naturally have nothing to say.

But Yu Bolun was not qualified to scold them!

After calming everyone down, King Fa Qiang spoke again: "Let's continue to discuss countermeasures!"

Under the chairmanship of King Fa Qiang, everyone started discussing again.

However, after much discussion, no effective solution was found.

Now they don’t even know how many enemy troops are coming from Ganci. They are completely in the dark. How can they discuss countermeasures?

During this period, many people wanted to persuade King Fa Qiang to surrender.

But seeing that no one mentioned this, no one was willing to be the first to speak out.

King Fa Qiang had no choice but to order his men to defend Gongbu City first and strictly forbid anyone from leaving the city to engage in battle with the enemy.

Not long after King Fa Qiang arranged the matter, the guards outside the palace rushed in again, "Your Majesty, the enemy has sent someone to bring back the prime minister's body! Let us send someone to the outside of the city to retrieve the prime minister's body!"

remains?

Hearing the guard's words, everyone's expression suddenly changed.

Yu Bolun stood up suddenly, staring at the guard with his eyes fixed, his voice trembling.

"Can you say that again?"
