Chapter 237 Don’t Go
Finally, the day of attending court arrived. Mo Rongshi walked into the court with a nervous mood.
He knew that this was a crucial opportunity and he had to go all out. Emperor Xuan sat on the high dragon throne with a serious face. The ministers were standing on both sides, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Mo Rongshi took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Emperor Xuan frowned slightly, looked at Mo Rongshi, and said: "What is it?"
Mo Rongshi took out the intelligence and strategic analysis that he had prepared long ago and said, "Your Majesty, after in-depth investigation and analysis, I found that there may be a bigger conspiracy behind Qing Country's border invasion this time.
If we don't take action in time, the consequences will be disastrous. "Emperor Xuan was slightly moved after hearing Mo Rongshi's words. He took the intelligence and strategic analysis from Mo Rongshi and read it carefully.
Mo Rongshi continued, “Your Majesty, I think we should seize this opportunity and send troops to Qing Country, not only to avenge the dead civilians, but also to eliminate potential threats.
Moreover, I have confidence that I can lead the army to victory. "Emperor Xuan looked at Mo Rongshi and remained silent. The ministers also began to discuss, some supported Mo Rongshi's suggestion, while others expressed concern.
Mo Rongshi was very nervous, but he remained calm. He knew that at this moment, he could not retreat at all.
Finally, Emperor Xuan put down the intelligence and strategic analysis in his hands, looked at Mo Rongshi, and said, "Are you sure?" Mo Rongshi said firmly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to sign a military order. If I cannot win, I am willing to die to apologize." Emperor Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since you are so confident, I will give you this opportunity. But you must remember that this time, you can only win, not lose." Mo Rongshi was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him. He knew that their plan was half successful. Next, he must go all out to win this war for Xuanyue Kingdom.
After the court session, Mo Rongshi could not wait to return home and tell Song Yunchu the good news. Song Yunchu smiled with relief. She knew that they were one step closer to their goal. But she also knew that the road ahead was still long and full of challenges and dangers. They had to be fully prepared to meet the coming war.
Since Mo Rongshi got the opportunity to go to Qing Country, he began to prepare in secret. He knew the difficulty of this war and wanted to increase his chances of winning. So, he secretly sent people to Xuanyue Country to buy materials for making pistols, those precious minerals and saltpeter. Mo Rongshi acted cautiously. Although he did not plunder on a large scale, there were still many of these materials in Xuanyue Country. His people searched everywhere and accumulated them bit by bit.
However, Mo Rongshi's actions were not hidden from Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan's spies were all over the country, and they soon learned about Mo Rongshi's purchase of special materials. When Emperor Xuan learned about this, he was full of surprise. He didn't expect Mo Rongshi to have such courage and means to prepare these things in secret. Emperor Xuan couldn't help but be more vigilant about Mo Rongshi, but at this time the expedition was decided, and he couldn't act immediately. He could only observe secretly to see what Mo Rongshi wanted to do.
At the same time, Mo Rongshi was completely unaware that his actions had been noticed by Emperor Xuan. He was concentrating on preparing for the war, carefully studying the materials and thinking about how to apply them to the war to increase his chances of winning.
Time passed quietly in the intense preparations, and soon, the day of war arrived. Mo Rongshi led the army to set off in a mighty manner, advancing towards the border of Qing State. Along the way, Mo Rongshi was full of anxiety and expectation. He knew that this would be a tough battle, but he also firmly believed that as long as he was fully prepared, he would be able to win.
However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. Three days later, a shocking news reached the imperial city. The army was defeated! This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone. Emperor Xuan was even more unbelievable. He never thought that the army led by Mo Rongshi would be defeated so quickly.
On the battlefield, the situation was horrible. The army was beaten to pieces by the Qing army, and suffered heavy casualties. Even Zhu Shuai was surrounded by the enemy and had no choice but to surrender. Zhu Shuai's surrender made the situation worse, and the Xuanyue army fell into an unprecedented predicament.
Mo Rongshi looked at the mess in front of him, his heart filled with despair and self-blame. He didn't understand why the war he had carefully prepared failed so quickly. He thought of the materials he had bought. Was it because his preparations were not sufficient? Or was there another reason? Mo Rongshi fell into deep thought.
Inside the imperial city, Emperor Xuan was furious. He summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures, and everyone was frowning. Emperor Xuan looked at these ministers, and his anger grew even stronger. He decided to personally investigate the reasons for the failure of this war, and he must find out what mistakes Mo Rongshi, who had disappointed him, had made.
At this time, Mo Rongshi was struggling on the battlefield. He knew that he had to find a way to save the situation, otherwise not only would his life be in danger, but the entire Xuanyue Kingdom would also be in crisis. He began to re-examine his strategy and think about what to do next. But in this chaos, what way out can he find? The future is full of unknowns and challenges.
After receiving the news that the army was defeated, Mo Rongshi was extremely restless.
Because although these armies were defeated, the soldiers under his command were still his soldiers.
He would have felt very sad if not a single soldier died, let alone the fact that three soldiers were not a small number this time.
With 5 troops against the enemy's 2, he unexpectedly suffered a complete annihilation. This bishop is truly a waste.
If the commander was in front of Mo Rongshi now, he would kill him without hesitation.
Because as powerful as he is now, no matter how many troops Xuan Yue Kingdom has, they will all be defeated by him.
So Mo Rongshi was very worried. If he failed again, who should the emperor send?
So Mo Rongshi wanted to go there in person.
You must see it yourself, only in this way can you take control of the military power and let these troops return to your hands.
Because most of the generals sent out now have died before, the emperor doesn't have many people to send now.
After hearing Mo Rongshi's analysis, Song Yunchu also nodded.
What he needs most now is time. As long as there is enough time, he can control the army.
By that time, he would no longer regret anything.
Thinking of this, Song Yunchu continued to look at the map, but this time he was looking at the map of the entire Xuanyue Kingdom.
