Chapter 1599

This news quickly spread to the Southern Pass City.

Chu Shao Yang stood on the city wall and looked in the direction of Shuang Lu City. The corner of his lips slightly curled up.

"Very good, this king can finally catch a turtle in a jar!"

He raised his hand.

"Pass on this king's orders. Everyone is to immediately leave the city and act according to the plan. We will take down Shuang Lu in one go!"

*

Shuang Lu had fallen. The three reinforcements and the soldiers in the city had all become South Yue's prisoners. This news was sent from eight hundred miles to the West Chu capital's Mo Chuan.

"What! Shuang Lu has been lost and the three reinforcements this one has sent have all been wiped out! "

Mo Chuan looked at the report on the table in disbelief.

Xiao Si stood on the side and his eyes almost popped out. He stared at the black words on the white paper in a daze. There were still some blood stains on it. It was clear that someone had sent this news to the capital.

"Chu Shao Yang, this one has really underestimated you! I never thought that you would bide your time and wait for the three reinforcements to arrive. Then you can catch them all in one go! "Mo Chuan clenched his fist and slammed it down on the table.

"Emperor, please calm down!" Xiao Si saw the veins on Mo Chuan's forehead pop out and quickly tried to calm him down.

He had never seen the emperor this angry before and his heart was filled with anxiety. Only he did not understand the art of war, so he did not know how to help the emperor at all.

"Only, this one has already sent three reinforcements. Adding in the original guards of Shuang Lu City, the army is considered strong. Even if we can't defeat Chu Shao Yang's South Yue army, it should be enough to hold them off for ten-fifteen days. How could they fall in one day? Little Four, immediately send someone to investigate again! "

Mo Chuan quickly recovered from his anger. He looked at the report on the table and began to see that something was wrong.

"Yes, emperor." Xiao Si quickly left after receiving the order.

Mo Chuan's hands were placed on the table. He stared at the large map and his brows deeply knit together.

Once Shuang Lu was lost, it was equal to opening the gates to West Chu. The South Yue army would charge in like a hot knife through butter and their next target would be Yuezhou City.

Yuezhou City was only eight hundred miles away from the capital. Once Yuezhou was lost, the South Yue army would surround the city and surround the capital.

So, he had to defend Yuezhou no matter what!

But how would he defend it? Who would he send to meet the Nanyue army?

All the ministers in the imperial court were restless and there was no one available. Could it be that he was really going to personally lead the army?

If he personally led the army, what if someone in the court rebelled? Wouldn't that be equivalent to a fire in the backyard?

Mo Chuan's brows tightly knit together.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Don't stop me, I want to see the emperor! "

Suddenly, a young girl's sobbing voice came from outside the imperial study.

"His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter," the guard replied.

"I must see the emperor, I beg you, let me in to see the emperor, I have something urgent to tell the emperor!"

Mo Chuan looked up in surprise and said in a deep voice, "Let her in!"

He could tell that this voice belonged to Xiao Ru. Why would she come to the royal study? Why is he so anxious? Could something have happened to Ning 'er?

Mo Chuan's heart instantly tightened.

The door opened and Xiao Ru charged in while crying. When she saw Mo Chuan, she kneeled down on the ground and cried until she couldn't breathe.

"Don't cry! Tell me, what happened to Ning 'er? "
