Chapter 135: Battlefield and Urgent report from Lijia (Part 2)

The last case has not been completely investigated, but new cases about them come out again . The evidence that was presented is not sufficient, but because it doesn’t matter, they just imprisoned them . And after, investigating slowly .

Corruption, bribery, false labor, embezzlement, killing innocent civilians, killing prisoners, robbing men and women, betraying companions, dividing divisions… …

The civil servants stated . Meaning, all the military officers of the Eastern Country are a scumbag . No one truly serves the citizens at all . They exist not to protect, but to suck the people’s blood . They fight in the war not to protect their country, but to protect their own interest .

Although these impeachments are only for Xiao Tianyao’s confidantes . The other generals cannot help but feel sad .  If the rabbit dies, the fox grieves (idiom:  sympathizing with the person of same kind . )

They killed their foes on the battlefield so that they won’t die in the hands of their enemies . But, who would have thought that they will die just because of internal fights and struggles .

No generals that have been on the battlefield had dared to say that they didn’t make any mistake . But, Xiao Tianyao’s soldiers were trained very strictly . So, it can be said that these civil servants were only falsely accusing them of these crimes .

“If this sovereign must die, then I’ll die . ” Another upright general that was kneeling in the hall has said . But, while looking at the emperor, the upright general couldn’t help but burst into tears while saying: “I really hate myself for not dying on the battlefield . At least, by then, my loyalty and reputation can be kept clean . ”

Even right after he finished saying those words, the upright general didn’t stop from crying . The sound of his sad tears echoes in the hall . But, when he was dragged away, the entire hall becomes quiet . No palace ministers can lift up their spirits in this case .

However, the emperor doesn’t care about all these stuff . Because all he wanted to do today is to bring down all Xiao Tianyao’s capable generals . He wanted Xiao Tianyao’s forces to collapse into half or until he could no longer be called as fearsome .

Seeing that his victory is nearing, the emperor couldn’t help but feel happy . However, a very sharp and rapid voice suddenly sounded: “Urgent report from Lijia! Urgent report from Lijia!”

Even after hearing the report a few times, the palace ministers still couldn’t understand it .

“How can there be an urgent report from Lijia at this time?” The Emperor said because he also couldn’t understand it . However, he cannot help but get curious because the eunuch had announce that it was urgent .

The messenger walked into the hall and then kneel to present the report: “Huangshang (emperor), this is an urgent report from Lijia .  500, 000 soldiers from Northern Country attack our borders . They successfully claimed three of our cities . While our army suffered a heavy defeat . ”

After reporting, the messenger collapse on the floor . The imperial guards busily carried him to be treated . But, his words causes restlessness to the palace ministers .

“Northern Country attacked our border? How can this be? The Northern Country didn’t attack our border for several years now . And it’s autumn season, they wouldn’t harvest anything, so why would they send troops to attack us?”

“Yes, what Official Wu had said is right . The Northern Country has no reason to send their troops to attack us . ”

“Northern Country will not get anything from sending their troops . ”

*

Several civil servants who don’t know anything about war started whispering to each other .

Because they know the Northern Country was afraid of Xiao Tianyao’s forces . So, they wouldn’t attack the East border no matter what .

But, what they don’t know is that the Northern Country received a news that the army of the God of War Xiao Tianyao was being pressured and that something bad happened to him . Because of that, they attack the Eastern Country . Trying to get some benefit from their own made up issues .

It’s just, they haven’t said anything about it . Their brains might not big, but they know how much the emperor despise Xiao Tianyao . So, if they will reveal the reason why they attack, the emperor might only despise himself… …
