Chapter 1859

Wu Lie knew that Gu Chen would never side with the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, which was why he dared to burn the bridge after crossing it.

So what if he burned the bridge? The Flaming Sun Crown Prince could only cooperate with him. Even if he suffered a loss, he could only swallow it!

He, Wu Lie, wasn't so good-tempered that he wouldn't take revenge after being used!

"I see. Your Highness is wise."

"If Mu Yehou can successfully recover his lost territory and drive the Pei army back to the east of the Hao River, he can still threaten the Pei Kingdom."

"The Pei Kingdom will suffer a great loss after this battle. They will even threaten Prince Liu Yan's rule. That way, Your Highness will have a chance to truly control the Pei Kingdom. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone! "

Crow General Commander thought about it deeply and praised sincerely.

His Highness was still as far-sighted as ever. No wonder he could suppress the Flaming Sun Crown Prince.

"Wait for the show. I can't wait to see Chen Yi's expression as if he had eaten a fly!"

Wu Lie's lips curled into a proud smile.

… …

The Pei army was unstoppable. In less than a month, they conquered three more counties of the Mist Kingdom.

He had thought that attacking these three commanderies would be met with fierce resistance, but he hadn't expected that the Mist Kingdom's army would collapse almost immediately. The Pei Kingdom had achieved an astonishing victory with minimal losses.

At first, Tang Xuance was hesitant and suspected that it was a trap. But under Gu Chen's urging, he had no choice but to press on.

Since the beginning of the battle, everything had been going so smoothly that Tang Xuance felt like he was dreaming.

But dreams had to wake up one day. On this day, news came from the Mist Capital.

The Third Prince of the Mist Kingdom was imprisoned, and Mu Yehou was officially king of the Mist Capital!

After that, the spies of the Pei Kingdom found out that there were signs of an army gathering in the counties of the Mist Kingdom. Judging from the direction, it seemed that they were coming for the Pei army!

"This is bad!"

Tang Xuance looked at the distribution of the Mist Kingdom's army on the map and felt uneasy. He immediately went to find Gu Chen.

"Mr. Chen, I'm afraid that Mu Yehou will launch an attack on us very soon. I suggest that we withdraw our forces immediately. If we don't, we will be defeated one by one, and our efforts will be in vain!"

Tang Xuance said anxiously. In fact, he felt that it was already a little too late to gather the troops. The troops had already been sent out, so how could they be gathered so easily?

However, he still had to do it. As a general, his sharp senses told him that if he fought on all fronts in the Mist Kingdom, the Pei army would definitely suffer heavy casualties!

He was even worried about their rear, not knowing if there would be any accidents!

"There's no need to rush. Let's talk after reading this letter."

Gu Chen smiled as he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Tang Xuance.

"This is …"

Tang Xuance received the letter with a suspicious look on his face. When he opened it, his face was first filled with shock, followed by wild joy!

The news that Mu Yehou had officially inherited the Mist King's position spread like wildfire throughout the Great Cheng Dynasty.

This result was not surprising to many. When the Pei Kingdom sent troops to attack the Mist Kingdom, many factions had already predicted this outcome.

In the eyes of the various factions, both the Pei Kingdom and the Mist Kingdom were under Prince Wu Lie's control. Now that the Mist Kingdom had regained its stability, it showed Prince Wu Lie's outstanding ability to respond to emergencies.

However, the development of the situation left the various major forces puzzled.

First of all, the Mist Kingdom's various prefectures were mobilized. It seemed that there were signs of war with the Pei army.

Since they were both under Prince Wu Lie, the various factions thought that the two kingdoms would have a more harmonious truce after Mu Yehou ascended to the throne.

Just as the various major powers were wondering who would emerge victorious in the war between the two countries, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared.

The Ze Kingdom had sent their troops!

The Wild Fox Tribe had gathered an army of seven hundred thousand and launched a surprise attack from the border of the Mist Kingdom. They swept through the Mist Kingdom like a hot knife through butter, sweeping in the direction of the Mist Kingdom!

Because most of the Mist Kingdom's troops had been mobilized to the Pei army and were currently on the way, the prefectures along the way were unable to fight back against the Ze Kingdom's attack!

When Mu Yehou heard the news, he hurriedly sent a large portion of his troops to stop the Ze Kingdom's army. This way, the offensive against the Pei army was halted!

At the same time that the Ze Kingdom sent its troops, the Pei Kingdom was not to be trifled with. The Pei army and the Ze Kingdom worked together and began a carnival of the Mist Kingdom's flesh and blood!

The Mist Kingdom had already suffered great losses due to internal strife. Now that it was facing the alliance of two kingdoms, it was severely lacking in military strength. It could only shrink its frontlines and defend with Mist City as the center.

In times of national crisis, if everyone was united, with the sturdiness of the city, they might be able to survive.

However, just as the Mist Kingdom's army retreated to defend Mist City, rumors began to spread among the troops.

It was rumored that Mu Yehou had handed over a large piece of land to the Pei Kingdom in order to obtain the throne. He was the true culprit behind the Mist Kingdom's demise!

The rumors could not be proven, but the truth could not be concealed.

Soon, the news spread like wildfire. Countless people accused Mu Yehou of treason. The morale of the army fell to an all-time low. The soldiers did not know who they were fighting for.

At this time, the remnants of the third prince smelled an opportunity and came out to stir up trouble, causing the situation in Mist City to become even more chaotic.

Under these circumstances, the Mist Kingdom's army retreated as they fought. In the end, they lost more than ninety percent of their territory. The allied armies of the Pei Kingdom and the Ze Kingdom surrounded Mist City!

When the news reached the Sheng Yang Region, Wu Lie was dumbfounded.

"Mu Yehou, that trash! What is he doing? How did he lose his entire country!"

Wu Lie roared angrily. The development of the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Your Highness, please calm down. The Ze Kingdom's attack was unexpected, and they grasped the timing extremely well. It is normal for the already weakened Mist Kingdom to be unable to withstand the attacks of the two kingdoms."

"I'm afraid that we have all been fooled. The Pei Kingdom and the Ze Kingdom have already formed an alliance in secret. Otherwise, they would not have cooperated so well!"

General Crow smiled bitterly. The series of developments in the recent situation could be said to be a harsh slap to their faces.

It was not as simple as the Ze Kingdom sending their troops. The troops that Mu Yehou had planted in the occupied territories, including the surrendered generals who had helped the Pei Kingdom occupy the various counties, were all assassinated at the same time!

The timing was also very precise. It was just before the Ze Kingdom sent their troops.

The Mist Kingdom had originally mobilized a large number of troops to break down the Pei Kingdom's army one by one, but their plan was foiled because of the Ze Kingdom's troops.

On the other hand, a large number of Mu Yehou's subordinates were killed at the same time. This caused the Mist Army to completely lose its influence over the occupied territories. The Pei Kingdom had truly taken over the various counties.

The Pei Kingdom even made a fuss about the surrendered generals that they had assassinated, revealing that they had worked together with Mu Yehou. This caused Mu Yehou to completely lose the support of the people.

This series of methods could be said to have been completed in one go. The Pei Kingdom had been ahead of them step by step and had completely schemed against them.

Chen Yicheng's residence was simply too frightening. The furious Prince Wu Lie was as weak and powerless as a baby in front of him.
