Chapter 166: Great Zhou Changed Generals

Deep inside the Great Zhou Palace, the lights were bright, but the atmosphere was extremely heavy. The new emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face livid, and the jade cup in his hand was creaking. The news was like a heavy bomb, hitting his heart directly.

Wang Jin's army was defeated. The 50,000-strong army, which was originally the country's elite force, has now turned into nothing. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the new emperor Zhao Yu.

"Fifty thousand soldiers, just gone like that?" The new emperor's voice trembled, with anger and grief that could not be concealed. He could not believe that such a thing would happen to him, to his country.

In the hall, all the ministers bowed their heads and kept silent, fearing that they would offend the new emperor. They knew that the new emperor was no longer the gentle monarch, but an extremely angry emperor.

"Who can tell me what is going on?" The new emperor's voice echoed in the hall. He looked down, expecting someone to give him an answer.

"Your Majesty, General Wang Jin underestimated the enemy and rushed in recklessly, and was ambushed by the enemy." Finally, a cautious voice sounded. It was the Minister of War, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, obviously oppressed by the atmosphere.

"Underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly?" The new emperor frowned, "I gave him 50,000 troops, and this is how he uses them?

The hall was once again in a dead silence. All the ministers knew that General Wang Jin's defeat was not only a defeat in a battle, but also a huge blow to the country's military strength. And all of this was due to his incompetence.

"Your Majesty, General Wang Jin has surrendered." Another minister spoke up, his voice full of helplessness. This news was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

The new emperor's body trembled. He didn't expect Wang Jin to choose such an ending. Wang Jin, the general who had made great contributions to the Great Zhou, has now become a traitor to the country. He was once an important official of the Great Zhou, but now he has become a sinner of the country. This huge gap filled his heart with complicated emotions.

The hall was in a dead silence, and all eyes were focused on the new emperor. He knew that he needed to make a decision at this moment and find a general who could save the situation.

"I wonder if there is any general willing to fight against the great army?" The new emperor's voice was low and firm. He glanced at the ministers in the hall, hoping that someone would step forward.

However, no one in the hall responded. The Dabai army was so brave and good at fighting that even Wang Jin was defeated. The other generals were even more worried. They were worried that they were not up to the task, and they were even more afraid that if they failed, they would end up like Wang Jin.

The new emperor frowned, he understood the dilemma at the moment. But he also knew that as the ruler of a country, he could not retreat, let alone give up. He had to find a general who could take on the heavy responsibility and lead the army of the Great Zhou to regain its spirits.

At this moment, a young general stood out from the crowd. He was tall and strong, with a resolute face and a firm light in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the hall.

A glimmer of joy flashed in the eyes of the new emperor. He knew this general. He was a young talent who had emerged on the battlefield in recent years - Li Yong. He was brave and good at fighting, and he was both wise and brave. He was exactly the talent that the Great Zhou needed at this moment.

"Okay! General Li Yong, I order you to be the commander-in-chief and lead the army to fight against Dabai's army!" The new emperor's voice was full of determination and trust.

Li Yong took the order and left, and the atmosphere in the hall changed. All the ministers expressed their support for General Li Yong's decision and promised to fully cooperate with his actions.

The grand ceremony was held in the palace.

Nan Rongxi had just received the latest battle report, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. The system also immediately reported to her the news that the Great Zhou had sent Li Yong to fight.

Nan Rongxi stood in the hall, his voice loud and firm: "My dear ministers, Youyue has now won the first battle. This is not just a simple victory, but also the beginning of the rise of our Great Bai Nation. We must seize the opportunity to pursue victory and continue to expand the fruits of victory until everyone in the world can be rotten!"

Her voice echoed in the empty hall, as if it had a magical power, stirring up the blood and passion of every official present. After hearing her words, all the officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor!"

Then, Nan Rongxi waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up: "Do you have any suggestions? Tell us!"

An old man in court robes, leaning on a cane, slowly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should continue to consolidate the domestic defenses and ensure stability in the rear."

Another young official said, "Your Majesty, I think we should seize the opportunity to attack the heart of the Great Zhou. Now that the Great Zhou has just been defeated and is internally empty, this is a great opportunity for us."

"Your Majesty, I think we should strengthen our armaments, recruit more soldiers, and prepare for the next battle." Another official expressed his opinion.

In the hall, officials expressed their opinions one after another, and everyone was making suggestions for the future of the Great Bai Kingdom. Nan Rongxi listened quietly, nodding her head from time to time to show her agreement. She knew that these suggestions were valuable assets, and she needed to consider them carefully in order to make the most wise decision.

Finally, Nan Rongxi took a deep breath and said with a firm look: "The suggestions of all the ministers are very valuable. I have decided that on the one hand, we will strengthen the domestic defense and armaments to ensure the stability of the rear; on the other hand, we must also seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and continue to expand the results of the war. We want to let the world see that the Great Bai Kingdom has risen and no one can stop it!"

In the hall, after hearing Nan Rongxi's decision, all the officials nodded in agreement. They knew that this young queen had extraordinary wisdom and courage, and her decision would surely lead the Dabai Kingdom to a more glorious future.

As Nan Rongxi's right-hand man, Da Congming naturally understood her intention at the first time. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will immediately convey your order to let Youyue continue to lead the army to fight, while strengthening the domestic defense and armaments."

Nan Rongxi nodded in approval: "Okay, smart guy, I'll leave this matter to you. In addition, I want you to pay close attention to the dynamics of Da Zhou and report any situation to me in a timely manner."

Da Congming replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust and complete your instructions as soon as possible."

Since the Great Zhou has a new general, Nan Rongxi must take Li Yong's words seriously. Maybe he can find a strategy to defeat the enemy!

Nan Rongxi immediately asked the system: [Tongzi, Tongzi, can you tell me what Li Yong said? ]

System: [Xizi, of course, I will send you a big melon right now! ]
