The soldiers' quick defection directly declared the outcome of this war. Although this outcome was within the predictions of many people, the method was beyond the expectations of the top management of Tiandou.

But all this is no longer important. At this moment, Wuhun Palace has occupied an absolute dominant position. No matter how many reluctances these generals have in their hearts, it is insignificant at this time, because there are only two endings for them, surrender or death. .

Facing this cruel reality, the generals struggled in their hearts for a moment before choosing to surrender. At this time, Tiandou still had no wealth and life was more important in their hearts.

Tuoba Xi looked at the general who slowly knelt down towards him and others. For a moment, he began to understand why Tiandou had reached this point. He raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes pointing directly at Tiandou Imperial City.

At this moment, in the Tiandou Imperial City, the prime minister’s residence

Six ministers gathered together, and each of their faces was full of anxiety. The leader, Prime Minister Wang Yuanji, sat on a huanghuali chair and kept tapping his index finger on the table. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were gloomy.

The whole room fell into a deathly silence, and everyone's face was uncertain.Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, instantly shocking all the senior officials into a cold sweat.

"What's going on! Why hasn't tea been delivered yet! Give everyone in the kitchen fifty bucks! Also, why is there no information from the front line yet? Didn't I say I'll report it every quarter of an hour! What are they doing!"

Sounds of rebuke burst out from Wang Yuanji's mouth.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of breaking glass entered the room from outside the door.Immediately afterwards, the housekeeper's panicked voice came from outside the door.

"Sir, sir, Xiaoqing just spilled the tea, and I immediately caused a severe fever."

"Pull them all out here and beat them again. This bunch of damn things can't even do this!"

At this moment, the prime minister's face was already a little ferocious, and he looked like two people with the pleasant-looking assistant prime minister in the court. At this time, the six ministers did not dare to take a breath. Whether at home or in the court, he was alone. No one among the tens of thousands of people dared to get into trouble at this time.

"Sir, please forgive me. It was the housekeeper. The butler knocked it over. The younger one just handed it to him. I didn't, I didn't. Please forgive me, please!"

"Hmph, you've done something wrong and you still dare to quibble. Someone come and drag me down and beat you seventy times again!"

The butler's loud scolding instantly drowned out the maid's begging for mercy. She felt the sound gradually fade away, and the butler's flattering voice sounded outside the door again.

"I have disturbed all the gentlemen and masters. The kitchen will be ready soon."

"Then hurry up and hurry up. If you dare to make any mistakes again, I will take your head!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

The butler quickly retreated as if he had been granted amnesty, and at this time the entire hall fell into silence again.

"Cough cough cough."

Li Shang, the Minister of Household Affairs, stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Master Wang, please be patient. We all know your difficulties. We have gathered here today just to help you and discuss it together to see if there are any other ways to save my life, Tiandou."

Li Shang's words hit the point directly. Wang Yuanji's expression softened slightly after hearing this. He glanced around and said slowly.

"In that case, do you have any suggestions?"

At this time, Zuo Shan, Minister of the Ministry of War, spoke.

"Wang Shuai is still fighting on the front line. If we stick to Jiayuguan, we should be able to temporarily withstand Wuhun Palace's attack. All we can do now is stabilize public opinion and find foreign aid."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Kaiquan, the Minister of Rites, said solemnly.

"Public opinion is relatively stable for the time being, but there is no airtight wall in this world. People will know the truth sooner or later, and by then it may cause panic."

"This is all a minor problem. There are still [-] city guards in the city. It will immediately enter a wartime state. Anyone who dares to stir up trouble will be killed! Even this foreign aid may not be found in a short time."

At this time, the originally lively atmosphere was instantly brought back to silence by the words of Ma Ji, the Minister of Civil Service.

No one said anything anymore. They all knew in their hearts that any force would regard Tiandou as a hot potato. No one would want to be an enemy of Wuhun Palace at this time. They used thunderous means to massacre the Blue Lightning Overlord family in Tianlan Mountain. It's the best precedent.

"Huh? Did I call you here just to listen to this nonsense! I think you are just like the other officers outside, you are all idiots!"

Wang Yuanji's anger once again spread throughout the room. Everyone was full of complaints, but they did not dare to reveal any dissatisfaction.

At this moment, the butler's voice sounded outside the door again.

"Reporting to the master and all your lords, the scouts have sent information from the front line."

"Quick, let him in!"

With a creak, a soldier wearing cloth shoulder armor appeared in front of everyone. His body was trembling slightly, which made Wang Yuanji narrow his eyes slightly. The next second, the soldier knelt down on one knee with a plop and said loudly .

"Reporting to your lord, Jiayuguan was defeated across the board and all our troops surrendered!"

"boom!"

At this moment, there was a violent shock in the minds of all the senior officials present. In an instant, the scene in front of them was a little blurry, and even the sound disappeared at this moment.

They stared dumbly at the soldiers on the ground with their heads bent on one knee. The whole room once again fell into deathly silence, but this time the silence was wrapped in deep despair.

After a long time, Wang Yuanji raised his hand tremblingly and said in a hoarse voice.

"Quickly, go to Tiandou Palace!"

A quarter of an hour later, outside the Meridian Gate, a group of ministers rushed non-stop towards the Tiandou Palace. During the whole running process, their official uniforms became messy, but they had no time to care about it at this time.

After a while, everyone arrived at the Meridian Gate, and the guard commander who had been waiting here for a long time came to the leader Wang Yuanji and said.

"Your Majesty has been waiting in Tiandou Palace for a long time. Come with me to meet the Holy Spirit!"

Soon, everyone arrived at Tiandou Palace.

After hastily adjusting their clothes outside the door, they anxiously crossed the threshold and came to the hall.

At this time, Xue Qinghe was already sitting on the throne, with a calm expression and a little sadness.

Before the ministers could speak, Xue Qinghe went ahead and spoke slowly.

"I already know what happened on the front line."

This sentence instantly calmed down the ministers who were like ants on a hot pot. They looked at the young man on the throne in silence. Then, Wang Yuanji slowly walked out of the team and bowed with a trembling body.

"The humble minister deserves death!"

"The humble minister deserves death!"

The same was true for the ministers behind him. At this time, a strong despair spread in every corner of the hall. Regarding Tiandou's future, their despair also produced a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Tian Dou will not die."

At this moment, a male voice came from outside the door. Xue Qinghe looked along the sound, and then his pupils shrank slightly, and the shock on his face fleetingly disappeared.

The ministers turned and looked outside the palace, and found a handsome man standing by the door with a smile, and two middle-aged men standing beside him.

"Who are you? How dare you act so recklessly in Tiandou Palace? Come on, drag him out and kill him!"

Zuo Shan spoke immediately, but there was no response for a long time. At this time, the man walked forward as if he was in a deserted place, passed through the ministers and came to the steps of the throne. He raised his head and looked at Xue Qinghe on the throne with a smile. Then he said slowly.

"My name is Dai Yuan, and I am the person sent by Wuhun Palace to take charge of the Tiandou Empire. If you don't mind, you can call me Regent."
