At the same time, the Baiyi Kingdom suddenly launched a war on the border, which caught Pei Liang off guard, and although they were vigilant all the time, they were still attacked by the Baiyi Kingdom.

In desperation, he could only fight to the best of his ability, but despite his best efforts, he still lost a city.

For this, he felt particularly remorseful, and he betrayed Song Shuyan's trust like this. It's all because he hasn't moved, which makes the Baiyi Kingdom have a chance, and he naively thinks that the Baiyi Congress is making a truce.

Because of the defeat on the battlefield, the news quickly spread to the people.

"General Pei must win!"

"The country of Baiyi is really despicable. ”

Some people are upset about this, because Pei Liang has won the merit before, so they still maintain trust.

"Why don't we run away now. ”

"Otherwise, you won't be able to escape if you want to. ”

There are also people who have packed up their things and are ready to flee to a safe place, but in the end of the war, it still suffers the common people.

These questions puzzled Shen Zeyuan, how could it suddenly become like this.

A plague of locusts broke out in the south, and the locusts were reckless, and the crops were quickly wiped out, all of which were secretly produced by the hard work of the people.

Originally, the harvest season was approaching, but the grain was swept away, and everyone was very helpless, not knowing how to live the rest of the day.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the south is now very unoptimistic, there is a shortage of food on the border, and the people are even more short of food, so please ask the emperor to make a decision!"

The ministers asked for their lives, because some of the ministers' families were in the south, so they were relatively worried.

Shen Zeyuan just sighed, something like this happened, they didn't expect it, it all seemed too sudden.

"Natural disasters, that's not what we want to happen. ”

"I will send people over to deal with the locust plague, so there is no need to worry. ”

He knew that the most important thing now was to appease the courtiers first, if they were all in chaos, then the people would also be in chaos.

And now the things on the battlefield have not been resolved, and the people can no longer be in a panic!

Shen Zeyuan convened several ministers and generals to discuss, he must do something and give an explanation to the people, otherwise the people will no longer believe him.

"You also know the current situation in the south, and now I want to send people to deal with the locust plague, and you are all the ones I trust the most. ”

"Who wants to go?

He knew very well that if he didn't give them some benefits, then they would never be willing to go.

It's just that what Shen Zeyuan didn't expect was that they were given benefits, but they were still reluctant to go, and everyone's reasons were different, which also made Shen Zeyuan very helpless.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand this, and the minister is not a suitable candidate. "One person, please leave.

"Your Majesty, the minister's toddler is suffering from measles, and there is no one to take care of him at home, if I leave, then he ......"

Their excuses made Shen Zeyuan unable to refute, after all, he had always been a very humane person, so it was impossible for him to force them to go.

In the end, only Xu Yanyan remained.

"It's difficult, at the critical moment, it's actually like this. Shen Zeyuan was very helpless.

Xu Yanyan also understood that he hadn't spoken just now, but what he didn't expect was that those people were unwilling to go, which still shocked him.

He also felt helpless for Shen Zeyuan, no one in this court was really willing to do his best, and he had already discovered this situation.

But this is not the way to go, someone has to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to ask for war!"

This sentence shocked Shen Zeyuan, and he didn't know what to do.

He was wondering if he would go out by himself, but at the same time, he also knew that Song Shuyan would never agree, after all, his body had not yet healed, and if this time passed, it would be a very dangerous thing.

Shen Zeyuan was very moved by Xu Yanyan's loyalty, but ......

"You're not suitable. He said.

This sentence also made Xu Yanyan not understand why, he felt that he was quite suitable, and now, no one is willing to go, so he is the best candidate.

Shen Zeyuan knew his strength very well, and it was precisely because of this that he didn't understand why Shen Zeyuan wanted to say that he was not suitable.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand, why is it not appropriate for the minister to be able to be civil and martial?" he asked.

Shen Zeyuan sighed, in fact, it was not that Xu Yanyan was inappropriate.

Of course, he knows Xu Yanyan's ability, but Xu Yanyan has more important tasks, and he can't go to the battlefield now, if he can, then he has already arranged it.

"I want you to stay in the capital and take charge of affairs, you can't leave. ”

He was afraid, afraid that if he fell down again, so that if Xu Yanyan stayed in Beijing, then Song Shuyan would still have a care.

It is precisely because of these considerations that he disagrees with Xu Yanyan's past.

The words have already been said about this, and Xu Yanyan also knows what is going on.

For Xu Yanyan, he was particularly touched that Shen Zeyuan could believe in him like this, because this is actually very rare.

"But there's no better candidate. Xu Yanyan sighed.

If it weren't for this, Shen Zeyuan wouldn't have been so worried, both of them were very helpless.

However, it is impossible to let the locust plague in the south continue, and it is not possible not to send someone to take charge of it, so it must be handled properly in the past.

In desperation, Shen Zeyuan could only make the most helpless move.

"Do you have any people under your command that you can use? Shen Zeyuan said.

"Yes, yes, if the emperor believes it. ”

Xu Yanyan still has a lot of people under him, and in the end, Shen Zeyuan also agreed to this approach, because at the moment, it seems that it can only be like this, and he really has no choice.

In the end, Xu Yanyan sent one of his staff members to govern him, and he was a very young staff member, but his strength was comparable.

"Your Majesty, let's wait for the results now. Xu Yanyan said.

"I believe in you. ”

Because Shen Zeyuan believes in Xu Yanyan very much, he naturally believes in Xu Yanyan's subordinates, and Xu Yanyan will never cheat him.

What they have to do now is to wait for the news from the staff sent by Xu Yanyan in the past, and they actually don't know the specific situation.

Song Shuyan has been worried about this, after all, Pei Liang has encountered such a loss, and he must not be in a particularly good state.

She was really angry, she didn't expect Baiyi Country to come to such a show, such a despicable thing was done, no wonder the country has not been able to prosper.
