This is a complete break!"
In the Imperial Court, an imperial censor shouted for all he orth, his face red, his entire body shaking froh hixi and the southwest, Ü-Tsang hasIf that's not a break, what is! Right noe have to talk about what to do next!"
"Li Zhengyi has already been defeated! Where else can we get soldiers?"
"If ant to help out Xianyu Zhongtong and Li Zhengyi, the Big Dipper Ar held down by We Tadra Khonglo and Dusong Mangpoje!"
"Lord Wang said a long tio that this wasn't the time to send soldiers, but none of you listened Now you know!"
"That's not what I'ht now What of the hundreds of thousands of civilians living in the southwest! If the 180,000 elites of the Annan Protectorate aren't there to stand guard, the southwest is a completely open field! Who else is left that can stop the co?"
……
Bzzt! As if all the air had been suddenly sucked out of the room, the noisy hall fell quiet All the nobles and officials had stopped talking
A stifling mood shrouded the entire court
The defeat of the southwest had never been their greatest worry Their true concern was the al in the southwest
As the barrier of the southwest, the Annan Protectorate was the first and final wall against Mengshe Zhao and Ü-Tsang
It was for this reason that the Annan Protectorate had always had a very large garrison 180,000 elites far surpassed the nu Dipper Ar Protectorate's Zhang Shougui had 180,000 soldiers
And it was for this reason that when Zhangchou Jianqiong had been presiding over the southwest, he had always been prudent and cautious, never once daring to take the initiative and start an offensive
However, Geluofeng's sudden attack and Zhangchou Jianqiong's lack of stability in his new post of Minister of War had caused hi his old concerns
The Imperial Court would need at least two months to raise a neave of reinforcements This time would be necessary whether they transferred these soldiers froht now…
The almost one million inhabitants of the southere bereft of protection When they thought about ould happen when Mengshe Zhao and Ü-Tsang advanced, all thelooked at the worried yet silent faces of the gathered officials, he suddenly thought of that boy
No one had expected the 180,000 elites of the southwest to end up in this state If there was someone who had already predicted all of this, that person was undoubtedly Wang Chong
For so had always known that this was how things would develop This e
…Perhaps this child has soht to hie of the coiled dragon on the roof of the hall
……
A roof would leak on the night of a downpour When the Imperial Court of the Central Plains was still stunned by defeat in the southwest, the Great Tang's north and northeast were also growing restless
"Hahaha, this is a gift fro elites would actually lose to Ü-Tsang and Mengshe Zhao…!"
On a ht, on the vast steppe to the north of the Yin Mountains, a white tent loomed The tent was surrounded by massive white wolves, als with fierce expressions
Within the tent, oil lanterns cast a pitch-black shadow onto the canvas, h the source of this shadow used no techniques, displayed no martial arts, the shadow exuded a dreadful aura Like a bottoht in a radius of several hundred zhang
"Carry out my order The ar's Beiting Protectorate If the Beiting Protectorate shows any strange movements, illhis fist, that shadow spoke with a rough and deter the Tang Eht of the tent, another voice within the tent urged caution, his fear evident
"Ha, you think that the Great Tang is still the Great Tang of the past? 180,000 elites… that's 180,000 elites! The Great Tang of the past wouldn't have been guaranteed to lose even if Ü-Tsang and Mengshe Zhao used all their power!"
