Zhongnan Mountain, Lou Guantai.

"Previously, due to the urgency of the matter, I was forced to change horses on the way, and I ask this brother to forgive me. In the face of the Taoist priest who attacked him on the way, Duanmu Xu didn't care much, thinking about ending the matter as soon as possible. The top priority is to deliver the letter, he arched his hand and said to Xuanyi.

A horse is naturally nothing, what Xuan Yi wants is a breath in his heart and a light on his face, "If you want me to forgive, it's better than this sword in my hand." ”

"Senior Brother Xuanyi, why do you have to do this?" Jingzhen on the side stopped again and again.

Xuan Yi was repeatedly dissuaded by this Jingzhen, and was quite impatient, and said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Jingzhen, can you allow outsiders to bully my Yiyang Sect, and let the reputation of my Sect be damaged from now on?"

Jingzhen was speechless for a while, but he heard a familiar voice from behind, and his face was happy, "The reputation of the Yiyang Sect is not in the sword in your hand, you ......"

Although Xuan Yi was extremely dissatisfied, he obediently put away the portable sword that had been drawn.

"I've seen Uncle Wunian," Xuan Yi and Jing Zhen said.

That Wunian has a slender figure, which is not much different from Xuanyi, but he has more bearing, and nodded slightly to the two of them, which can be regarded as a return gift.

Duanmu Xu looked at this newcomer, and could feel that there was a charm in his steps, which was quite natural and flowing.

Xu had been in the Chongyang Palace for a while, and Fan Lu was familiar with the Taoist priests in the palace, so he naturally recognized the person in front of him, "This matter happens to be discussed with Wunian Zhenren." Knowing that the real person's words today have reached 100 words, the real person will listen to it, and if it is reasonable, he can just nod his head and agree. ”

In this Chongyang Palace, the real people who are a little older and have achieved cultivation either retreat to seek a breakthrough, or wander outside to explore the immortal opportunities, and now the main thing is the real person in front of him, who is in charge of the teaching. However, this innocent real person is quite strange, and for some reason, he has set himself a precept not to speak more than 100 words a day. When he reprimanded Xuanyi just now, he stopped at the word "you ......", presumably today's hundred words have been finished.

Na Wunian nodded in approval and motioned for Fan Lu to continue.

"According to the news brought by the white team of the Huaishuo military town, the enemy soldiers of the Golden Horde have broken through Huaishuo and are leading their troops north, perhaps with the intention of ending up in Nanshan, or with other intentions. Considering his personal safety, Wu Nian Zhenren thought that the layman in the Louguan Platform was leaving or staying?" Fan Lu threw out the question he was struggling with just now.

Everyone was waiting for the opinion of Wunian Zhenren, but Duanmu Xu found that the master he had met in Youyixuan before had come to Zhao Luojia's side at some point, and he was respectfully on standby.

Wu Nian pondered slightly, if there is an enemy attack, Zhongnanshan will naturally not retreat, but the layman in the viewing platform on this floor is just a temporary residence, if the enemy soldier intends to be on this layman, then it makes sense to go or stay. The hundred words have arrived, so naturally I can't say it anymore, but I can write.

Before he saw how he moved, Wu Nian had already arrived at Xuanyi's side, and with a quick draw, he pulled out the saber just now.

Xuanyi thought to himself, Uncle Wunian said that the reputation of the Yiyang Sect is not in this sword, why is it that he draws the sword now.

Wu Nian would consider the thoughts in the hearts of these teachers and nephews, but there was no pen and ink for a while, so he had to use the sword as a pen, and wrote four big characters on the ground in an instant, go, protect, stay, protect, and then with a wave of his hand, he sent the sword back to the scabbard of Xuanyi.

Seeing the big characters on the ground, everyone understood the attitude of the Yiyang Sect, whether to leave or stay is up to Zhao Luojia himself, and the Yiyang Sect will do its best to protect its safety no matter what.

Zhao Luojia looked at everyone, "The Golden Horde army invaded the territory and attacked my city, in order to protect the homeland, everyone is responsible, and I am naturally no exception." Staying here and waiting for the other party to attack, it is better to turn passive into active. I decided to go down the mountain and head east. ”

"Now that you've made up your mind, let's pack up and leave immediately. Fan Lu commanded to everyone.

......

Holding Huaishuo's 800-mile urgent military report in his hand, Li Fugong's hands couldn't help trembling slightly, and the Golden Horde was a barbarian department that actually broke Huaishuo in one fell swoop through the internal response. A few days ago, in the imperial court, everyone swore that the barbarians were not worried, and the Huaishuo army was impregnable, and with Shi Jiwei in charge, it should be safe to strictly guard against it.

The military situation must not be delayed for a moment, and Li Fugong took the shocked Wang Daozhi and immediately entered the palace to face the saint.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhao Tianyin's face sank like water, and the ministers standing below were silent. A few days ago, this group of people was also full of confidence, as if the enemy soldiers of the barbarian army could retreat at will.

Li Fugong carefully read out the military report presented by Shi Jiwei word by word, and the ministers listened quite carefully, but their faces were solemn.

Zhao Jiancheng is also in a brocade robe today, but his mood is completely different from a few days ago, as if he fell into an ice cave or something, it is really embarrassing to blame Shi Jiwei, and the previous suppression seems to be really reasonable. This time, I wanted to rely on it once, but I didn't want to get into trouble instead. I knew that today's court discussion was the loss of Huaishuo, so it was better to call it sick and lie quietly in the East Palace.

Zhao Jiancheng secretly regretted it, and Zhao Pingcheng did not speak, waiting for the opinion of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, which were in charge of military and political affairs.

Wang Daozhi's speech was nothing more than to be surprised by the amazing combat power of the Naiban tribe and the loss of Huaishuo, and then suggested that the imperial court send troops for reinforcements.

Sending troops to reinforce and annex the state, the Ministry of War and Li Fugong also thought so, and Fan Bingzhong also seconded it. Huaishuo is lost, no matter how much the Golden Horde changes its whereabouts, its ultimate goal is to merge the state city. Only the garrison of Jiji Prefecture, the soldiers of Huaishuo and Wuchuan, and the Youzhou garrison of the Beiting Jiedu envoy were encircled, and the enemy soldiers of the barbarian army would be unable to escape when the time came.

Zhao Jiancheng was still silent, but Zhao Pingcheng stood up, "Father Qi, your lords are very worried, and the state is safe to defend the city. However, just like the mistake made by the ministers last time, he was completely convinced that Captain Shi could hold Huaishuo and did not need to increase his troops, resulting in the loss of Huaishuo now. Although it is expected that the enemy soldiers of the barbarian army intend to merge with the state, can they also take precautions in other aspects. Captain Shi mentioned in the military newspaper that after the Golden Horde army broke through Huaishuo, it did not march in the direction of Bingzhou, but first went north and then east, is there also a possibility that the goal of the Golden Horde army is the north. ”

Zhao Tianyin looked at Zhao Pingcheng, "Pingcheng, do you think the Golden Horde's target is not to merge the state, but to the north?"

"Erchen also agrees with the opinions of your lords, and it is very likely that the Golden Horde is attacking and annexing the state. It's just that I made the mistake of being too arbitrary last time, thinking that I could leave a little more room for everything and consider other possibilities. If the Golden Horde was heading north along Luoshui, then Erchen suggested that the border guards of Wuchuan and Rouran should not act rashly, but should always guard against the movement of enemy soldiers. ”

"Heisei's concern is not unreasonable, if the Golden Horde attacks Bingzhou, there is a garrison in Tingzhou, and the defenders of Bingzhou City and the Huaishuo army can keep Bingzhou safe, and even encircle and annihilate the enemy army. In the event that the Golden Horde moved north, the garrison of the two armies would intercept it, and it would also buy time for the rest of the army. Zhao Tianyin was quite satisfied with the fourth child's response, and then looked at the boss who was silent for fear of being blamed, and sighed slightly.

Xu sensed a trace of disappointment from his father, and Zhao Jiancheng mustered up the courage to stand up, "Qi Father, Heisei kept saying that the Golden Horde was going north. Did he ever wonder why the Golden Horde was heading north? There were no big cities, and the road was even more difficult. The method of fighting the enemy lies in attacking the few with many, and now it is not wise to divide the troops for inexplicable reasons. As if he had found the weakness of the other party, Zhao Jiancheng fought back fiercely, covering up the unknown people who had strongly recommended Shi Jiwei before.

Zhao Pingcheng replied unhurriedly, "What the prince said is extremely true, I really don't know, and at the same time, I am not sure why the Golden Horde may go north, if you want to think hard, there are always some, such as Zhongnan Mountain or something." But none of this is important, and it is important to have countermeasures to deal with this possibility. ”

The four princes were thoughtful, and the ministers also thought it was more appropriate. Fan Bingzhong replied. Naturally, the rest of the ministers chimed in.

"What Heisei said is indeed the words of the old man, so he used this method. Shi Jiwei is not effective in defending the city, and he should be severely punished, considering that it is a critical opportunity to resist the enemy, I hope that he will lead his troops to kill the enemy bravely, and I may be able to avoid his death. "The response of the imperial court, the transfer of soldiers and horses, and the fate of Shi Jiwei are in Zhao Tianyin's will.
