For Duan Ganzi, bad news is still coming one after another.

Because he had an absolute advantage in military strength, when the main force of Zhao State and the assisted forces from Qi State joined forces, Le Cheng, the chief general of this coalition, issued an order.

"The whole army heads south and heads straight to Taoyi!"

For Le Cheng, this war was simply a credit for falling from the sky.

According to the rewards of the spies from Zhao State, there are only 20,000 regular troops of Wei State in Taoyi City. Although Duan Ganzi has been able to control the territory of Wei State over the past few days, thus increasing the number to 80,000, Le Cheng still has no worries at all.

The reason is very simple. The strength that the other six countries can unite to fight against Duan’s coalition forces is far stronger than the miscellaneous fish in Duan Ganzi’s hands.

Le Cheng felt that he had a great advantage. As long as he could go up the whole army, he could directly push Duan Ganzi.

This kind of war that does not require any brains to push all the way is simply more comfortable.

Under such a policy, Duan Ganzi led the 120,000 troops of Qi and Zhao to step by step, and marched towards Taoyi without any haste.

The speed is not fast, but the victory lies in stability. Even if Duan Ganzi possesses the God of War, it is absolutely impossible to find Le Cheng's flaws.

More importantly, Lecheng is already very close to Taoyi.

And in Taoyi, when he heard the news of the attack of the Qi and Zhao coalition forces, all the Wei people in Taoyi suddenly became panicked.

In the secret rooms of some officials' residences, you can see the owner and several very close officials discussing this matter from time to time.

"Have you heard about the rumors that have been circulating around the city these days?"

"What kind of rumor?"

"Don't you know yet? This time, the King of Zhao has announced that the reason for sending troops was to kill Duan Ganzi, a disobedient traitor. As long as other people are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, they will be unrestrained!"

As soon as these words were said, the other people immediately became active as if they had found a life-saving straw.

"King Zhao really made such a promise?"

"Nonsense, the entire Taoyi City has been circulating for a long time. Can such a thing be fake?"

"In this case, if we remain neutral first and take the initiative to surrender to Zhao State when the Zhao army enters Taoyi, wouldn't we be able to escape this murder?"

"But if this happens, once Duan Ganzi discovers our intentions, he may not let us go."

"What if he doesn't matter, can't you see clearly the situation now? Duan Ganzi only has these tens of thousands of troops in his hands. How can he face the joint attacks of the other six countries? He is bound to be defeated. Can we still accompany him to the underworld?"

As soon as these words were said, the others immediately disappeared, and everyone showed a thoughtful expression on their faces.

And such conversations are constantly repeating in many places in Taoyi City at this moment.

And in the Taoyi Palace of Wei State, there is a different situation.

"Mother, Mother!" Accompanied by a crisp call, a ten-year-old boy in gorgeous clothes rushed into the palace of the Queen of Wei like a whirlwind.

The queen, wearing mourning clothes and sitting in the palace, was obviously startled: "Zeng'er, what happened?"

The queen of Wei was already very old. She looked quite dignified, but she was a little weak, and did not have much majesty as a mother in the world.

Although Prince Zeng was only ten years old, he was obviously quite precocious because he was born in the Wang family. He turned his eyes and his tender face suddenly became stern. He said to the palace people around him: "You all go down first!"

After all the people present left, Prince Zeng quietly lowered his voice and said to his mother: "Have you heard about it? The State of Zhao has already raised an army and thought that he would attack Duan Ganzi in the name of revenge. It would be better to come to Taoyi City, and then the father's revenge will be avenged!"

When he said the word "revenge", the young prince gritted his teeth and showed a very cruel expression on his face.

After hearing what Prince Zeng said, the queen was obviously stunned for a moment. After a while, she said, "Where did the prince know about this?"

Prince Zeng said to the queen in front of him excitedly: "Don't you know about the mother? This incident has spread all over the city!"

The queen was silent for a while, and finally a smile appeared on her face, but soon the smile flashed and turned into deep worries.

The queen whispered to the little prince in front of her: "Crown Prince, the more dangerous it is. The prince must remember to pay attention to his words and deeds and never let Duan Ganzi's people find any flaws. Otherwise, if Duan Ganzi is anxious and jumping over the wall is not good for the prince, the old woman will have no face to meet the king even if she dies."

The prince Zeng nodded vigorously and said to his mother with a smile: "Please don't worry, my mother, I know who is a spy from Duan Ganzi's sect, and I will definitely not let them notice any flaws."

The miserable mother and son in the palace are now looking forward to the arrival of the Zhao army.

In the hall of the Xiangbang Mansion of Wei State, Duan Ganzi, with a very ugly face, was listening to the reports of his subordinates.

"Mr. Wu Xiangjun, the 120,000 Qi and Zhao coalition forces are only three days away from Taoyi."

"Mr. Wuxiang, Lecheng passed eight large and small cities along the way, and all cities surrendered when they heard the news, and no city had any resistance!"

"Mr. Wu Xiangjun, Tian Chong from the south has already announced the world that as long as Zhao State can rectify the chaos and make the crown prince a new king, then Tian Chong is willing to lead his troops north to serve the king immediately!"

"Wu Xiangjun, Tian Chong sent an envoy to contact the Chu State Lord Huang Xie a few days ago, and it seemed to be a peace talk!"

One news after another pressed against Duan Ganzi's heart like huge rocks, causing Duan Ganzi's heart to slowly fall to the bottom.

"Enough!" Duan Ganzi finally couldn't help but roar, making all the sounds quiet.

Everyone looked at Duan Ganzi with fear, fearing that they would be targeted by this powerful minister of Wei who had been in a bad mood these days and would become the next target of tragic death.

Duan Ganzi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Import you immediately, everyone has one night to pack their luggage. By tomorrow morning, the queen and the prince will move south to Suiyang. As ministers of the Wei State, we will also move south with the king!"

To be honest, this feeling of being scared is actually quite satisfying.

After a moment of silence, Duan Ganzi said again: "What are you all standing there? Have you forgotten what I told you just now? Don't you go and do it quickly!"

After a pause, Duan Ganzi seemed to remember something again and continued, "By the way, everyone will stay here to work today, and no one can go home privately! As for the notice to the home, you only need to write a letter, and naturally someone will help you take it home. Remember, any private escapee will be beheaded on the spot once he is discovered, and the whole family will be implicated! Do you understand?"

Everyone present naturally felt timid.

After everyone dispersed like birds and beasts, Duan Ganzi thought for a while and then attracted one of his own trusted retainers.

"What's going on in the palace now?"

The confidant replied respectfully: "According to the emperor's instructions, although the prince and the queen did not imprison their personal freedom, their every move was under the surveillance of their ministers."

"Very good!" Duan Ganzi nodded, and then ordered to his confidant: "You will enter the palace immediately, gather the queen, prince, and all the descendants of the king together, and imprison them all. From now on, without my handwritten warrants and tokens, no one is allowed to see the prince and queen. Do you understand? If you dare to disobey, kill them without any punishment!"

After his confidant left, Duan Ganzi slowly calmed down and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Zhao Dan, Zhao Dan, don't you just want to use my Duan Ganzi's head and the opportunity to establish the prince to gain the return of the people of the world? But my Duan Ganzi is not that stupid. As long as I die, the entire Wei royal family will be waiting to be buried with me!"
