Chapter 114 Qin Wu Leads the Army into Battle
The execution was over quickly.
The capital city was locked down for two days before being reopened.
This time, Qin Wu took the opportunity to capture quite a few spies from other countries.
It can be said that a major purge was carried out on the entire capital city.
In fact, all of this was something that the Emperor of Eastern Qin and he had discussed long ago.
King Qi and King Liuyun were merely two baits.
Their status didn't actually warrant being publicly executed at the Meridian Gate; the Emperor of Eastern Qin could have simply sent them on their way with a cup of poisoned wine.
This incident resulted in heavy losses for foreign spies.
Many people are now too afraid to even show their faces, lest they be implicated if they are not careful.
After two days of cleaning.
Once the lockdown on Beijing is lifted.
The problem was only discovered when foreign spies appeared.
Their contacts and the people they contacted had both disappeared without a trace.
Now they panicked, knowing that something bad had probably happened to them.
They hurriedly tried to spread the news.
What they didn't know was that the lifting of restrictions in the capital was only superficial.
In the shadows, the Qin Emperor's Shadow Guards placed the entire capital under surveillance.
As a result, many more foreign spies were arrested.
The entire imperial city was arguably the cleanest it had ever been in the history of the Eastern Qin Dynasty.
When the Emperor of Eastern Qin received the report, he was overjoyed. He had not expected that so many spies from other countries would be uncovered this time.
There are also people from other countries hiding in the court.
In the following days, the capital returned to peace.
The end of the year is fast approaching.
This year, due to the war on the front lines, the Emperor of Eastern Qin simply held a palace banquet to mark the New Year.
The year-end is over.
Qin Wu then received the message.
Something did happen at the front lines.
"Your Highness, we just received news that Xuan Yue and the Marquis of Zhennan are seriously injured."
"The two grandmasters of Southern Qi have made their move."
Liu Feng reported this to Qin Wu.
"You can't wait any longer? We're ready too, and the recruits have finished their training."
"It's time to go."
Qin Wu said calmly.
And above the court.
"Your Majesty, an urgent report has arrived from the front lines: the Grandmaster of Southern Qi has made his move, and the Marquis of Zhennan is seriously injured."
The Minister of War reported to the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
"The Grandmasters of Southern Qi have actually made a move! They're openly breaking the Grandmaster Agreement!"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin's eyes narrowed.
They have only seized one-third of the territory of Southern Qi, and now the Grand Master of Southern Qi has made his move.
This was something he didn't expect.
"Yes, news has come that the Emperor of Southern Qi may not have much time left."
"Once the emperor of Southern Qi passes away, the situation in Southern Qi will likely be completely out of control. In order to stabilize the situation in Southern Qi, they must end this war as quickly as possible."
The Minister of War continued to report.
The intervention of a Grandmaster from Southern Qi was not good news for them.
They now need to send out Grandmaster-level experts to continue their military campaigns.
"Your Majesty, we must send out a Grandmaster-level expert now."
The Grand Commandant stepped forward.
They have been preparing for this war for so many years.
It's impossible to just retreat like this.
Now that Southern Qi has broken the treaty first, they have no more worries.
"The Divine Martial King has arrived..."
Just then, a report came from outside the hall.
Qin Wu, clad in silver-white armor, walked step by step into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, 500,000 new recruits have completed their training and are ready to be deployed at any time."
Qin Wu went to the front and reported to the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
This army of 500,000 was secretly recruited and trained by the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
This was to prevent the Southern Qi from resorting to desperate measures.
Unexpectedly, their advance preparations actually came in handy.
"Alright, Divine Martial King, are you ready?"
When the Emperor of Eastern Qin saw Qin Wu arrive, he knew that Qin Wu was preparing to personally lead the troops into battle.
If we were to ask who in the entire Eastern Qin region would be most suitable to lead troops into battle at this time, it would be a matter of personal choice.
The Divine Martial King is undoubtedly the one.
No one was more suitable than Qin Wu to lead the troops to provide support.
"Ready."
Qin Wu clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Very well, issue my decree: appoint the Divine Martial King as the Grand Marshal of the Southern Expedition, in charge of the Southern Expeditionary Army, to destroy the Southern Qi."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin immediately issued an order.
"According to the order."
Qin Wu accepted the order.
"All departments must cooperate to ensure the logistics of the Divine Martial King. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in secret will be considered a traitor and their entire family will be executed."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin issued another decree.
"We will certainly cooperate fully to help King Shenwu conquer Southern Qi as soon as possible."
The ministers understood that the matter was settled and could not be changed.
Moreover, they also knew that now was the most suitable time for the Divine Martial King to go.
Even if they didn't want Qin Wu to achieve further military merits, especially those involving territorial expansion.
But for others, facing a Grandmaster would only lead to certain death.
They desired this great achievement but were powerless to attain it.
"King Shenwu, when do you plan to send out troops?"
Seeing that none of his court officials objected, the Emperor of Eastern Qin asked Qin Wu again.
"The 500,000-strong army has been assembled. I will set out immediately. The situation at the front is constantly changing, and we cannot afford to delay."
Qin Wu said.
"Very well, then this morning court session is adjourned. All of you, follow me to see off the Divine Martial King and his soldiers."
"Retreat."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin immediately ordered the court to adjourn.
Two hours later, the Emperor of Eastern Qin and his officials saw him off.
Qin Wu led an army of 500,000 men toward the battlefield of Southern Qi.
After receiving the news, many people came to the city gate to see him off.
They all understood that the Divine Martial King was going to personally lead his troops to the Southern Qi battlefield.
To help them expand the territory of Eastern Qin.
