The prefect of the city saw that the two of them were silent and did not care about what the enemy said.

When he returned to the marshal's house, he expressed his doubts: Marshal Lu, what do you think about what the enemy general said?

Marshal Lu said: Don't pay attention to it.

Prefect: But what if they attack the city?

Marshal Lu said: Three days later, the city will be attacked.

The prefect asked, "What should I do when the three days are over?"

Marshal Lu looked at the prefect, and said after a while: Three days later, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, even if the city is attacked, our army is still afraid that they will not succeed.

Xu was shocked by the momentum, but the prefect had seen a big scene, and he couldn't back down in the slightest about life and death. I only heard him say: The border pass is thousands of miles away from the imperial city, even if the horse is rushed, it will take five or six days to come and go, and the army will be much slower, according to the time, the army may not set off yet, and it will not be able to reach the border pass in three days. At that time, how will Marshal Lu defend this city?

This statement is reasonable, and the prefect is also arrogant.

Hu Guangwei listened and felt reasonable, but he believed in the landing marshal, so he stood aside and was silent.

I saw Marshal Lu sitting in the first seat, looking ahead, with a serious face. After thinking for a moment, he looked up at the prefect standing in front of the table and said, "My lord said yes." Three days later, if the reinforcements do not arrive, the commander will personally lead the army to rush out of the city gate and fight the enemy to the death!

Hearing this, the prefect laughed. Listen to him say: Why does the marshal have to talk about life and death. Isn't there a good way to retreat from the enemy without injuring a single soldier?

Marshal Lu asked: What do you mean by what your Excellency said?

The prefect smiled again and said, "The marshal also heard what the enemy general said." As long as the marshal writes an urgent report, sends someone to the imperial city, and hands it over to the emperor.

Marshal Lu looked at him, not knowing what to say.

The prefect did not blame, and continued: In the letter, the marshal only needs to write down in detail what the enemy general said, and the key is that the relationship between the queen and the border city should be clearly written. Whether a city is important or a woman is important, it is up to the emperor and the officials to decide.

Hu Guangwei suppressed his anger and said to the prefect: Didn't the prefect forget those shouts and scolding? Now he actually listens to the nonsense of the enemy army and insults the prestige of our country!

The prefect opened his eyes and looked at him carefully, and then said with a smile: What is this general talking about? I am a dignified prefect, will I insult the prestige of the country? You stinky boy has become a general of the defeated army, hiding in the city and unable to think of a way to resist the enemy, but ridiculed the official!

He turned to Marshal Lu again and said: Marshal Lu, the people under your command are disrespectful, and they should be taken care of. As a parent official, I can't bear to let the people of this city be displaced and blood will be shed all over the land. Then, please ask the marshal to write the letter quickly, so as not to delay the hour.

After the prefect finished speaking, he turned and left.

Seeing that the person was gone, Hu Guangwei said: Marshal, if you want to write a letter to him by himself, you don't have to listen to what he says.

Marshal Lu said: Those words are not written, but the letter must be written.

After speaking, he lifted the brush and wrote hard. Within a few moments, the letter was written and put into an envelope, carefully sealed, and stamped with a handsome seal. Marshal Lu picked up the envelope, got up, walked out of the table, handed the letter to Hu Guangwei's hand, and said: Send someone to deliver it overnight, and the mount will use my thousand-mile horse, and it must be delivered to the palace as soon as possible.

Hu Guangwei clasped his hands and said: The last general will go.

After saying that, the man had already hurried away.

It is said that the prefect of Shoucheng returned to his mansion, thinking about what happened today, and then thinking about the character and appearance of Marshal Lu and Hu Guangwei, how can he feel that he is not sure. Although his prefect could not be directly presented to the emperor as the battle report written by Marshal Lu, in any case, this piece of folding was indispensable, as long as a secret seal was attached, the folding could be presented all the way up to the emperor. After thinking about it, the prefect walked all the way to the study, and without taking a sip of tea, he picked up a pen and paper and began to write.

A day after Marshal Lu's battle report was sent to the imperial study, the prefect's encrypted memo was presented to the imperial table. And the ingenuity lies in the fact that the officials in the imperial city have received a brief letter one after another, with only a few words on it, but the adults have already understood it in their hearts. Civil officials make good use of their scheming, and the prefect of the city is a good example.

until the next morning.

There is nothing else to say above the court, just for the border war. The preface said that the war situation was urgent, and the household department and the military department had also sent reinforcements and grain and grass materials as early as two days ago, but when they could be delivered to the border pass, and whether the city could be defended, no one could guarantee one or two.

Those words did make a difference.

Someone came out to ask: I don't know if the emperor has read the recital written by the prefect who guarded the city?

The adults had already learned from the messenger that the prefect had already presented the matter in the middle of the story.

Hearing this question, Yu Xuan understood that these adults seemed to know about the things written in this recital. In this case, there is no need to hide it, and say: I have seen it.

The man heard this and said: Since this is the case, the minister dared to ask, I don't know what the emperor should do?

Yu Xuan said: This person has no dignity and humility, and he is guilty of the following. He should be dismissed from his official position, demoted to a commoner, and no longer be used.

After speaking, he didn't wait for others to speak, and said: Sanren, immediately draft the decree. Retreat!

After finishing speaking, the person got up, and Sanren followed closely behind, stepping out of the court and walking towards the Qianqing Palace.

This matter did not stop there, all the officials without exception wrote a book, much the same, all in persuading the emperor to let the queen go to the border to protect the country. Although the words were gentle, the meaning was clearly to force Yu Xuan to depose Qingqing's position as queen and let her be exiled to the border.

Yu Xuan ignored those twists and turns. Not only because Qingqing is loved by him, but he also believes that his army will not be easily defeated by those barbarians, and there is also a fierce general Hu Guangwei in the army, and it is not so simple for the enemy army to break through the city.

However, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would not believe that the army had already lost its armor and weapons and retreated into the city, the day of the enemy's siege had come, and it would take at least a few days for reinforcements to arrive. And what the enemy general said, in their opinion, the beginning of this war was caused by the queen, if it was not born to be seductive, how could it lead the envoy of the Saiwai domain to say those words, which was originally to seek peace, but turned into a battle. This will avoid the war, or point to the queen.

From this, they understand that the queen is the red face of this big country in Xifeng, if it is not removed, I am afraid that the society will not be protected. The emperor did not read a word of the folds presented. In this case, the adults came up with a series of books, writing 'The queen is a red face and a curse, afraid of hurting the society, and begging the emperor to depose the queen and exile the border passes. A few words, and then on the fold, the adults signed their names in turn.
