Chapter 1586

Chen Ning nodded and gently knocked on the door. Then she pushed the door open and closed it behind her.

"Ning 'er, come in."

Mo Chuan could already hear her voice from outside.

She saw Mo Chuan standing in front of the imperial table with his hands on the table, looking at the large map. He looked up and his eyes sparkled as he looked at her, but there was no anger on his face.

"What happened? Xiao Si said that you flew into a rage and kicked out all the ministers? "

She walked closer and asked in a curious voice.

Mo Chuan gave an "un" sound and said, "I don't like listening to their cliches, none of them have any use."

"What happened? But ….. Did Chu Shao Yang really rebel? "

Chen Ning's eyes fell onto the map and she saw Mo Chuan draw a large cross on the southern pass.

Mo Chuan nodded and raised his brows as he said, "If my guess isn't wrong, Chu Shao Yang really led the South Yue army to the southern pass and Shuang Lu. Before the people I sent to warn them even reached the southern pass, they received news that the southern pass had been lost."

Chen Ning was shocked. Although Mo Chuan had said this before, she did not dare believe that Chu Shao Yang would really betray his country for glory.

"Chu Shao Yang really betrayed his country?" She asked in a voice filled with disbelief.

"Not only did he betray his country, he also captured the southern pass and is eyeing Shuang Lu. If the southern pass is lost, Shuang Lu will be in danger. If Shuang Lu is lost, my West Chu's gates will be opened to the South Yue army. So, no matter what, I have to defend Shuang Lu!" Mo Chuan heavily slapped the table.

"Has this matter already been spread to the court?" Chen Ning asked, thinking of the ministers that Mo Chuan had kicked out.

"That's right. This morning, I received a secret report sent from eight hundred miles away. The secret report said that Chu Shao Yang had led his army to attack West Chu and they were unstoppable. The reinforcements I sent to the southern pass had not even arrived, but they had already captured the southern pass. It could be said that they had won easily. I have already given the order for all the reinforcements to retreat to Shuang Lu. We have to defend Shuang Lu no matter what, we can't let Shuang Lu fall into the hands of Chu Shao Yang's South Yue army. "

Mo Chuan said this and forcefully slapped the table again. His face revealed an angry look, "Everyone knows about this matter. I asked in court who was willing to lead the army, do you know what the ministers said? They also said that Chu Shao Yang was the previous emperor's son, so even if he betrayed the country, it was still acceptable. As long as I was willing to ask him for peace and give him the title of king, perhaps he would withdraw his troops. They also said that South Yue was strong and our West Chu soldiers were few, so if we fought, it would be a disaster for West Chu. It would be better to send a letter of surrender when the war had just started, perhaps we would have a chance of survival! Hmph, these cowards only know how to cling to life and fear death. What use do I have for them! "
