552 The emperor was quite surprised and frightened when he saw the telegram sent by Jiang Kai. Hu Hao's artillery troops actually dared to launch artillery bombardment on Jiang Kai's troops. Although it was a warning artillery bombardment, it had too strong meaning, which made the emperor know Hu Hao's hot personality. If he didn't agree, then fight!

"What, Hu Hao dared to launch a shelling attack on Jiang Kai's troops? This?" Chen Hai was shocked when he heard it.

The same is true for other people. They had always said they wanted to fight Hu Hao before, but now Hu Hao really dared to fight, which caught them off guard. They were very clamoring, but they were still a little worried about facing such a thing! They really hadn't thought about fighting Hu Hao's troops. Updates quickly without ads.

"Tell me, do you want Jiang Kai's troops to retreat? Jiang Kai just said it very clearly in the telegram. If you don't retreat, Hu Hao will definitely fight!" The emperor said,

He hadn't said that in fact, Jiang Kai's troops had retreated. Jiang Kai had already said it in the telegram, but he still wanted to know what the commanders in front of him would do. When the other commanders heard the emperor's words, they looked at each other, and no one wanted to speak.

"Retreat, Your Majesty, if you order Jiang Kai's troops to retreat. If you don't retreat, the subsequent things may be more serious. Retreat first now. Once we really want to tear our faces apart, we can do it at any time.

Moreover, Hu Hao's shelling of Jiang Kai's troops was also an excuse. We can use this excuse as long as we want, but now we have not decided whether we want to tear each other apart, so let Jiang Kai's troops retreat first. If things expand, it will be troublesome!" The fourth Count stood there and said to the emperor.

The emperor heard this, nodded, and then looked at the commanders.

"Let's retreat, but the fourth count just now was right. Hu Hao is powerful. Not only are we afraid, but even the coalition forces will be worried. I think the coalition forces will not let Hu Hao eat their 2 million troops like this, and they will definitely increase troops to our Dongling Kingdom.

Damn it, we must train the troops well. We may suffer the consequences of Hu Hao's troubles!" Mu Zhifu said,

He also thought that the coalition forces would not let Hu Hao go. Once the troops were increased, it would not be good news for all the troops in the Dongling Kingdom.

So, it is better to order Jiang Kai's troops to retreat first. Mu Zhifu thought to himself that he could not deal with Hu Hao, and the coalition could not deal with him, but there were a large number of troops on the coalition.

"Yes, retreat, Hu Hao naturally has a coalition force to clean up!" Chen Hai also nodded and said.

When the emperor heard this, he felt very sad. Not to mention the relationship between Hu Hao and here, Hu Hao is at least from Dongling. He is still fighting on the front line to protect the people, but everyone in front of him hopes that Hu Hao will die.

Of course, the emperor also hoped that Hu Hao would die, but he did not want Hu Hao to die at the hands of the coalition forces, but hoped that Hu Hao would die at his own hands. This shows that the imperial power is already strong enough and there are enough troops he controls!

To kill Hu Hao, the emperor did not want to use the help of the coalition forces, but wanted to rely on his own strength. However, no one would think of these strengths in front of him. They just hoped that Hu Hao could be killed soon, no matter who was killed.

But they never thought that if Hu Hao was really killed now, then could the Dongling Empire still block the attack from the coalition forces? How long would the Dongling Empire last? No one had ever thought about these commanders in front of him.

"Then just like that, send a telegram to Jiang Kai and order him to retreat!" The emperor said and crushed the telegram.

Jiang Kai had already said in the telegram that he had ordered the troops to retreat. Now that the emperor has concealed this matter, he just doesn't want the commanders in front of him to start attacking Jiang Kai, saying that Jiang Kai has withdrawn the troops without authorization.

"Yes!" Chen Hai said.

"I'll go out for some breath first. You guys are busy first. The fourth brother, please accompany me for a walk!" the emperor said and stood up.

"Greatly send your Majesty!" When the commanders heard this, they all bowed their hands,

The emperor nodded and left the conference room with the Four Earls. After arriving at the garden outside, the sun was already very strong outside, and it was almost noon. Now the rainy season has ended and the weather has begun to dry.

"Fourth brother, have you seen this? No one has ever thought about what the empire should do in the future! They just want to kill Hu Hao.

But they didn't think about it. If Hu Hao was killed, could the south of the empire still block the attack of the coalition forces? Then those coalition forces came from the south, who could block these commanders?" The emperor walked under the shade of the tree with his hands behind his back, and the four counts followed behind.

"Oh, several capable generals of the Empire, Ma Zhenling, Liang Kuan, and Luo Xin, have all gone to Hu Hao's side. Jiang Kai is also fighting outside now and dare not return to the capital. He is afraid of being attacked by these commanders in front of him.

Therefore, the commanders in front of them have never fought a war. They have taken over the commander's position from their fathers. They even said that they may not even know how the troops were trained. Your Majesty, it is not surprising that they have such performance!" The Fourth Earl said.

"Don't you shit if you occupy the pit?" The emperor turned his head and looked at the four counts behind him. The four counts nodded!

"How is our royal troops recruited now? The second brother is watching the training there, has it been launched?" the emperor said.

"The troops have been recruited, but we are still short of officers. We have drawn some veteran troops from the Northeast and the Eastern Front. Based on my understanding of Hu Hao,

Hu Hao's grassroots officers were all from veterans and then started training. We don't know how to train now, but it is definitely impossible to use veterans! We have promoted some company commanders who have participated in the battle as battalion commanders.

We are appointed as the regiment commander, and we are appointed as the division chief of staff, division commander, etc. At present, my eight army has been recruited, and the children of the aristocratic families are also arranged as the chief of staff.

The same is true for my second brother. In addition, the Imperial Guards, uncle is also watching now. According to your order, the Imperial Guards will be expanded to 15. If all the training is completed, we will have 31 troops, with a heavy army of almost 2 million!" The fourth earl stood there and reported to the emperor!

"Continue to recruit, Lao Si, these people are not reliable. If you continue to recruit troops, there are still 8 armies, but the troops of each army will increase by 50%. The royal army is our foundation.

I don't expect their commanders anymore. Have you read the telegram sent by Liu Yuzi these days? It's the observation record of Liu Yuzi on Hu Hao's side." The emperor said to the Fourth Earls and continued to recruit troops, and then asked the Fourth Earls.

"I saw it, I felt very deeply, Your Majesty!" The fourth count spoke, but was interrupted by the emperor's raising his hand.

"Just when our brothers are here, call me brother. Don't let Your Majesty, I have heard too much outside!" the emperor said!

"Yes, brother, after reading the analysis report sent by Liu Yuzi, I have been unable to sleep well these days, and sometimes I can wake up in the middle of the night!" The fourth count said to the emperor.

"You have one too?" the emperor said to the fourth Count, who nodded.

"I am the same. I have watched the last live video of my father's last night every night, and have been thinking about why my father said at the end that he regretted not paying attention to the people, not reducing the rights of aristocratic families, and not paying attention to Hu Hao and the children of civilians.

I kept wondering, why? Why did the father say so at the end! Do you remember?

My father kept saying that Hu Hao would protect the people of the empire. And when Tang Long rebelled, I heard from my second brother that my father had been calling Hu Hao and he asked Hu Hao to come to rescue him. When I followed my father before, my father also valued Hu Hao very much, but he was not caring.

I just can't understand that Hu Hao should know that the father valued Hu Hao so much, so why didn't he be caring to his father and not loyal to His Majesty!

Is Hu Hao born with a rebellious bone? I don’t believe that he performed mediocrely in the military academy, but as soon as he went to the battlefield, he began to change. I don’t believe that a person who had just entered the army dared to be so bold and dared to disobey the intentions of the late emperor!

So I was wondering what was the purpose and what did Hu Hao go through to make such a big change. So I began to analyze Hu Hao's growth experience along the way, and with Liu Yuzi's report, I understood what the late emperor meant by the people.

Hu Hao has the people in his heart, but we don’t have them, nor do we have aristocratic families. Everyone ignores the importance of the people, including you and me, but the people are the foundation of the empire. Without the people, who will join the army and who will pay the food? Alas!" The emperor sighed when he said this.

The fourth count heard it and nodded, but in fact he also discovered it.

"Today Hu Hao said he would go to rescue the people in the east. Let's not talk about whether the situation in the east is like this. Let's talk about this motivation! If other theater commanders get such news, will he send troops? Will he offend his old superior? Will he bombard his old superior's troops?

They don't, because they don't have the people at all, no! But Hu Hao has, Liu Yuzi said, in Hu Hao's control area, the people support Hu Hao almost unconditionally.

Think about it, unconditional support, soldiers are not afraid of death, and the people are not afraid of death. Is it scary? I, with the royal family, and aristocratic families, what can I fight with Hu Hao? I have lost my roots!" The emperor said anxiously.
