Emperor Zhengxi's joy lasted only a few hours.

Before dawn, an urgent military report was delivered outside the noon gate.

The military report said: Wusheng Pass fell again, and the banner of the Moro army was hung high on the tower of the pass city. Now the Moro army is pouring in in along the pass, sweeping towards a large area of Liangzhou ground. The residents who had time to escape along the way were all swept under the hooves of the iron horsemen, burned, killed and looted, leaving no chickens and dogs behind. Large and small military strongholds were captured one by one along the way!

The Flying Dragons and Locusts are running along the road to Kyoto.

The urgent letter was thrown like snowflakes to the center of the Eastern Liang Kingdom.

Emperor Zhengxi slapped the case and shouted: "Are the hundreds of thousands of people in the southwest camp all vegetarians? After delaying for so long, they have been unable to advance the pace, but now it is good, and they have been pushed into the ground of Liangzhou again! Are they all eating dry rice? Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, have all the money in my white flowers been wasted?"

Under the imperial steps of the Qinzheng Palace, Qi Brush and Brush were full of ministers.

These people, except for shouting "Long live Your Majesty" and "Ministers deserve death", do not seem to be able to come up with any useful methods.

The emperor was so angry that his lungs exploded.

"Qin Jian, what about Qin Jian, my hundreds of thousands of troops were handed over to him, and he was responsible for the safety of most of the southwest ground, what did he eat? Could it be that he watched Mo Luo Xiao'er invade step by step? Why can't he always get out? Day by day, you know that you reach out to me to ask for food and equipment, and the silver flows like water, this is the effect of you spending the silver for me?"

Yin Xiangguo couldn't stand by anymore and stood up: "Your Majesty, Qin Jian, has personally led the troops to Liangzhou - he has also been unable to sleep and eat in the past few months, on the one hand, he has to send people to inspect the northwest defense line, on the other hand, he has to deploy troops to fight with the Moro soldiers, and more importantly, he has to help His Majesty guard against internal troubles-it is said that thieves are difficult to prevent, and there is such a big poisonous sore as Bai Feng at home that is pus and poisoning, how can Qin Jian fight with peace of mind!"

Someone sighed quietly, it's all at this time, Yin Zuoxiang actually grabbed Bai Feng and didn't let go - although everyone was secretly talking that Bai Feng might not be dead, but escaped through a fire, but the imperial court Qincha saw the Bai family turn into ashes after a fire burned, and no one has decided whether the Bai family has really escaped or has been burned to death.

Even if he is really lucky not to die, with Yin Xiangguo here never forgetting, it will be difficult for the Bai family to move an inch in the future.

This is the end of being a loyal servant. Therefore, this has become the court of Prime Minister Yin Zuo's words, who else dares to stand up and openly be a loyal minister for the country and the people!

The emperor was furious: "Even if Bai Feng is indeed a hidden danger, it can't hide the fact that he Qin Jian has been incompetent in governing the army and can't fight in war all these years!

Without waiting for the holy decree to leave Beijing, another urgent news of war flew from the east.

"Letter from the Northeast Battalion, is it ......" the emperor muttered, he was really already a frightened bird, and he could no longer withstand the unexpected bad news.

However, the battle news was opened, and the text was clearly written, "It was the third watch of the night, more than 10,000 people of the Donghan Navy Army, suddenly attacked the three islands of Feiyu, Changyu, and Short Reef, and the defenders of the three islands of our army resisted and fought fiercely for two hours, the Donghan Army was defeated and retreated, and our army suffered heavy casualties and urgently needed the assistance of the imperial court." ”

There are not many words, but the words are like knives, and the knife cuts on the heart of Emperor Zhengxi.

"Donghan Kingdom night attack!" he said, looking down the stairs after speaking. "Donghan Xiao'er, it's finally difficult!"

There was silence.

This is to be expected.

The Moro army in the southwest did not retreat for a long time, the southwest battalion was ineffective in resisting, and the Eastern Han Kingdom in the east saw an opportunity, so it suddenly attacked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about it, what should we do? What should we do now?" the emperor smiled angrily and looked at everyone.

Or silence.

Suddenly, a young Wenchen came out and said: "If only Bai Shuai hadn't died." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he was in trouble, so he lowered his head and refused to say anything more, and the crowd remained silent.

The Emperor didn't even see who was speaking. He didn't bother to ask.

A group of incompetent people who have eaten and drunk enough and then know how fast they are to talk all day long!

It is really unreliable to expect them to lead troops to fight.

He stared at the map of Dongliang Country spread out on the desk. The war in the southwest is not over, and there are problems in the east, and then the northeast, due north, and northwest...... If these small countries tear their faces and make trouble together, then they will really sit on wax.

However, he was really unlucky today, and the new battle news was sent urgently for hundreds of miles, "Huangshui, Baisha suddenly joined forces to attack and seize the pass in the north of me, and the defenders in the north flew a report, please ask the imperial court to quickly reinforce the army of grain and grass!"

It's the other way around, and it's the other way around!

Everywhere they are stretching out their hands to ask for money, food, and people, and they can't live!

"Ladies and gentlemen—" Emperor Zhengxi suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a lengthened tone, "There is also a fight in the north—now is the time for you to show your skills to serve the country, who can tell me what we should do now?"

There was still silence.

Finally, someone moved and said, "Or, invite the right minister." ”

After holding it for a long time, he came up with such a bad idea.

The emperor rolled his eyes: "Don't you know that he is sick and can't get down." ”

"You can use a soft sedan car to carry it in, now is an extraordinary period, you have to use extraordinary methods. ”

The emperor was helpless and waved his hand: "Go, let someone carry Yuan Lingyun." ”

Yin Xiangguo's face was cloudy, "Your Majesty, the minister has a way, now the Dongliang Kingdom is embattled on all sides, and the enemy is being attacked on all sides, and in an extraordinary period, an extraordinary method must be taken, and the minister implores His Majesty to use the Shuai Yin, let Qin Jian command the whole country's forces, and make a unified deployment." lest the various battalions in the country be scattered and unable to be dispatched in a unified manner. ”

The guard at the door hurriedly came: "Your Majesty, Li Dunian asks to see you." ”

Li Dunian came and got straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the minister asks to lead troops to fight, to fight Donghan in the east, barren water and white sand in the north, it's okay, as long as you don't stay in the camp every day to eat and drink." ”

As soon as these words came out, several generals came out with their fists in their fists, "Your Majesty, the young general is willing to follow Li Dunian to the capital prison and go out to fight the enemy together." ”

The breath blocked in Emperor Zhengxi's chest suddenly found an outlet, and he was not so aggrieved and uncomfortable.

"Okay, Li Dunian is doing well! Everyone Aiqing is doing well! You are worthy of being my Dongliang Erlang! Li Dunian, you quickly organize the camp in Beijing, and divide the troops into three units, one of which is stationed in place to protect the safety of Gyeonggi; you will lead the team to the east on one route; and the rest of the way, transfer reinforcements from the north, but who will lead the team?"

While he was groaning, an old voice outside the door stretched out and shouted: "Your Majesty, no, by all means—"

Yuan Lingyun was carried into the Qinzheng Hall by several chamberlains.

A pale head with sudden vicissitudes, a pair of wizened hands, and a face covered with criss-crossing wrinkles.

This man is alive!

has experienced such a serious illness, and there is a well-arranged thief, I can't imagine that he didn't die, didn't fall, and didn't lose His Majesty's trust in him, he came to the court of Dongliang Kingdom again, even if he came in lying down.

Yin Xiangguo's heart turned upside down, angry, hateful. If he could, he really wanted to pounce on him and strangle this old and immortal guy alive!

Yuan Lingyun didn't care about looking at the colleagues who were standing, and waved his hand directly to the emperor: "Your Majesty divides the camp in Beijing into three routes, and sends Li Dunian to the east to attack, and a team of troops to the north to help, this move is very inappropriate!"

Yin Xiangguo glared: "Here again, here again, you know what to fuss about! This method has been played for a lifetime, and at this time, is it still this set, can't you come to something fresh and useful?"

Yuan Lingyun rolled his eyes and didn't look at Yin Xiangguo: "I don't talk to traitors and villains." Your Majesty, if you think about it, the Jingzhong battalion has always guarded Gyeongzhong and guarded important places in Gyeonggi, and it is an important force that cannot be easily mobilized unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

Yin Xiangguo sneered in his mouth, "It's not a last resort now? I think you are sleeping at home and drowsy, and you don't know anything about the outside world! Donghan, Huangshui, Baisha, and Moro, now our Dongliang Kingdom has become an enemy on all sides. And Qingni, Nan Chen, who knows if they will also follow suit. If it's not a last resort now, then according to the right Xiangye's opinion, wait until the enemy enters Kyoto in the Dongliang Kingdom and hits your family's kang, then it will be a critical moment?"

"Fart!" Yuan Lingyun shouted.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military were quiet, and absolutely anyone could hear a needle drop on the blue brick floor.

As an official in the same dynasty, the official position is equal, and in front of His Majesty, if he dares to openly scold people like this, Yuan Lingyun is the right minister, and only Yin Xiangguo is scolded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look at it, Right Xiangguo is bullying people again!" Yin Xiangguo didn't look at Yuan Lingyun, faced His Majesty, and shouted pitifully. A look of a child who has been wronged and complains to an adult.

"Shameless. Li Dunian scolded in his heart.

Yuan Lingyun didn't have the energy to entangle with Yin Xiangguo, he propped up his neck, "Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister." The camp in Beijing did not dare to move. In the east, the imperial court can send a confidant general to go, because of the poor health of the Lin Dujian in the northeast camp over the years, the training is lax, and the management is not strict, but the military spirit is neat, as long as the people sent by His Majesty are effective, within a month, they can immediately reinvigorate the military prestige and go to the east to start a war with Donghan. ”

"As for the north, we need to select a few experienced generals who can fight well at the same time, and guard the towns from the northeast, due north, and northwest one by one, and the two small countries of Huangshui and Baisha are not as big as Moro and Donghan, and they are at most taking the opportunity to disturb the distraction from us, and make a little money and food, so they will first take a tug-of-war to consume. Our focus is on leveling the Moro offense first. Wait for the big trouble of the henchmen, and then stabilize the border defense on all sides one by one. ”

After Yuan Lingyun finished speaking in one breath, he was so tired that the green tendons under his neck protruded, and he opened his mouth wide and gasped hard.

In the ranks of generals, someone is quietly giving a thumbs up.

The old minister is the old minister, a simple analysis, whipping into the inside, hitting the nail on the head, and completely to the point.

Originally, everyone felt that the enemy suddenly rose from all sides, making it difficult for people to take care of one thing and lose the other, but after listening to Yuan Lingyun's words, there was really a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Emperor Zhengxi looked at everyone sitting down with fixed eyes, and suddenly sighed: "Where can I find so many good generals and commanders at once?

Li Dunian stood up: "Your Majesty—"

Yuan Lingyun raised his hand and interrupted Li Dunian: "You can't go! You can't go to the east or the north! You have already made a great contribution to guarding the camp in Beijing with peace of mind." ”

The emperor showed a sad face, "Since Li Dunian can't be sent out, then who else can take on such a heavy responsibility." ”
