Chapter 589: The Trap of Xu Sanshi (Part 2)
But how easy is this? The commander of that elite army was Fang Chong-General of the Douling Emperor. After receiving the accurate information, he rushed back as soon as possible, but did not return to Lingdou City directly. Instead, after entering the Douling Empire, he temporarily stationed in a large city in the south. He was called "not participating in the royal dispute and only accepted the best royal family control."
This is clearly like sitting in the mountains and watching tiger fights. If this general had not had royal blood, the situation might have been even worse.
In this case, Xu Sanshi was like being baked on fire, and the situation he faced was extremely difficult.
Two royal families in the north led their troops to rebel in the name of serving the king. The Douling Empire was empty, and the two royal troops advanced towards Lingdou City as soon as possible. One of the troops did everything evil, burning, killing, looting, and constantly strengthening themselves through plundering and killing.
Although Xu Sanshi controlled a large number of troops, because the elite troops in Lingdou City were previously drawn away by that elite army, the remaining ones were ordinary troops, and their combat effectiveness could only be equivalent to one of the two royal rebellious armies. These two armies came at the same time, and the pressure could be imagined.
Xu Sanshi is definitely not attached to the position of the emperor, but he cannot give in easily. If he is entrusted with someone, it will be a devastating disaster for the entire Douling Empire.
Fortunately, in the past month, the Sun and Moon Empire has not yet fought against the Douling Empire, otherwise the situation would have been even worse.
The power of control in your hands is limited, and in this case, there is no good way to deal with it.
When Xu Sanshi just took control of Lingdou City, he showed great talent and quickly controlled the situation. However, if you want to control the entire empire, he really lacked prestige. No matter what, he was not a surname like the royal family. He was not a true royal family inheritor.
Xu Sanshi's family did not come to help him, which was something Xu Sanshi did not expect. The only one who came was his mother, the princess of the Douling Empire.
However, Xu Sanshi's father refused to come to rescue because he was not optimistic about the Douling Empire in this situation, and he could not bet on the fate of the entire Xu family. As the head of the family, he had to consider the interests of the entire family.
Internal and external difficulties. How could Xu Sanshi not be anxious? But what can he do now? He divided his troops to resist the advance of the two royal families, and the final result was that he could only be divided and annihilated. All he could do now was to issue orders to evacuate the people of the city on the other side who were poisoned. At the same time, he would quickly arrange the defense line centered on Lingdou City. Only by blocking the attack of the two royal families, he could negotiate with the elite army of the Douling Empire.
Although the elite army was sitting there, they were not attacked by the imperial civil servants and military generals. There was a reason for watching the wall, the royal family had withered. Only some of the last bloodlines remained, and none of them were direct.
From the perspective of bloodline, Xu Sanshi's bloodline is still the purest, but his surname is Xu, not the royal family's surname. This has become the biggest problem. So, in this case, whoever is the best will have the power to inherit the throne. What the Douling Empire needs most is an excellent king.
Isn’t the commander of that elite army testing Xu Sanshi and those two rebels? Whoever can win the final victory in their battle means who can be able to inherit the throne.
At the same time, the elite army was also a strategic location, and was quickly arranged and placed on the border, ready to face the attack from the Sun and Moon Empire at any time. Therefore, they did not listen to the orders of Xu Sanshi, but no one could blame the commander-in-chief general. In the eyes of many civil and military generals, he did not do anything wrong.
Xu Sanshi once thought about getting out, but could he really leave that way? The rebels from the two royal branches were definitely not good successors. And after all, royal blood flowed through him! He really didn't want to see that the future Dou Ling Empire would be destroyed by the Sun and Moon Empire.
Therefore, after discussing with his mother, Xu Sanshi decided to insist. Even if he wanted to leave in the future, he must make the entire empire stable first.
Finally, after completing all kinds of official duties, Xu Sanshi's level of cultivation actually felt exhausted. The civil and military officials retreated one after another, and the palace hall suddenly became empty.
"These two guys should not have any strong men around them. Why not, let's carry out a killing operation and kill them all, and all the problems will be solved." Nan Qiuqiu clenched his fists and suggested to Xu Sanshi.
These days she also felt very frustrated. Everything went smoothly at the beginning, but since the elite army of the empire refused to return to the imperial capital and allowed the three parties to compete for throne, Xu Sanshi has been in a disadvantaged position. Even the civil and military officials in Lingdou City have begun to become more and more arrogant.
Xu Sanshi shook his head and said, "The blood of the Douling Royal Family has withered and cannot continue to bleed. I actually don't like fighting in this position, but I don't think they can do better than me. In the crisis of the empire, they actually raised their troops for power at this time, with short-sighted eyes and definitely not wise kings."
Nan Qiuqiu said angrily: "What should I do? I have been waiting for their troops to come to the city? If I don't kill them, I still don't know how many innocent people will die in the war. Haven't you heard that? Thousands of defenders in a city were slaughtered. What are these people keeping them for?"
Xu Sanshi glanced at Nan Qiuqiu and said, "It is not that easy to kill. These two guys dare to raise an army. At least one of the titled Douluo is supported by them. Otherwise, why do you think they are fighting for the throne? The elite army and the strong men of the Douling Empire are now all on the border. If we act rashly, once we fail, it will be even more unfavorable."
Ye Guyi murmured: "It would be great if Yu Hao was there. I really didn't expect that he would be so powerful now. He proposed a battle of ten against the Sun and Moon Empire with his own strength. He forced the Sun and Moon Empire army to admit defeat and retreat in just seven games. The academy personally awarded him the title of Shura Eyes, Lingbing Douluo. Wutong was also named Dragon Butterfly Douluo."
Xu Sanshi sighed, "Yu Hao is under too much pressure. The eldest brother came to the news that Wutong was seriously injured in order to save him, the younger brother took Wutong to seek treatment and disappeared. At this time, we can only rely on ourselves. Wait a little longer, the Tangmen Soul Tutor Group is already on the way. As long as they can arrive in time, the problems we face can be solved."
"Sanshi, you are still too weak." At this moment, a soft voice sounded. A tall middle-aged woman walked out from behind.
She was wearing a luxurious long dress. Although she was not young, she still had charm. Xu Sanshi's appearance was at least six or seventy cent like her.
That's right, this is Xu Sanshi's mother, and the princess of the Douling Empire, Xue Lingxun.
"Mom, why are you out? Are you in better health?" When Xue Lingxun came to Lingdou City, she saw that the Douling Empire Palace turned into ruins and her relatives had no bones. She was overly sad and unconscious. It was not until the last few days that her spirit had recovered slightly.
Xu Sanshi originally wanted to ask his mother to take charge, but in this situation, he could only stand in front of him.
"Son, the dispute over the throne is always cruel. At this time, it is no longer a matter of focusing on bloodlines. The two guys who took advantage of the situation to make trouble have already become very weak in the royal family, and their ability to react so quickly means that they have become rebellious early. In this case, what you need to do is to destroy all problems at the beginning in the shortest time. This girl was right just now. Your weakness will lead to the death of more people. If possible, use the thunderous force to use his brain and gather his troops. Control the domestic situation in the shortest time, so that our Douling Empire can have a vitality."
"I have met Master Prime Minister before. You are unwilling to change your surname, so it is up to you. But for Dou Ling and for my mother, my mother begs you and Nan Nan to adopt your future first son to our Xue family and inherit the throne of the Sun and Moon Empire. How about it? As long as you agree, at least the civil servants and generals of the imperial capital will fully support you and fight against the two traitors."
"This..." Xue Lingxun's sudden suggestion made Xu Sanshi a little stunned, and Jiang Nannan's pretty face turned red even more ashamed.
Xue Lingxun still loves Jiang Nannan, her future daughter-in-law, but after all, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan have not yet married. How can this issue directly involves giving birth to a child not make her shy?
Xu Sanshi subconsciously looked at Jiang Nannan, and Xue Lingxun also turned to face Jiang Nannan. Her eyes turned red in an instant, and her knees became soft and she knelt down to Jiang Nannan.
Jiang Nannan has such a cultivation level, and he is also a strong man at the Contra level! When he saw something wrong, he reacted immediately, leaned forward, and held Xue Lingxun with one hand. With a slight force on his flexible waist, he helped Xue Lingxun up.
"Aunt, what are you doing?" Jiang Nannan's forehead was sweating.
Xue Lingxun swallowed even more and said, "Child, you can bear this worship. I am for the tens of millions of people in the Douling Empire and the future of the entire Douling Empire royal family. I am now asking you as the princess of the Douling Empire."
"Auntie, I, I promise you, don't cry." Jiang Nannan was kind-hearted. How could she refuse in the face of this situation?
Xue Lingxun was overjoyed and held Jiang Nannan's hand tightly, "Good kid, good kid, thank you."
