The news from the front came extremely suddenly, one moment the ministers were still in the main hall, arguing over trivial matters, and the next moment they heard the guards outside the hall shouting: "Eight hundred miles of urgent war report!" ”

Eight hundred miles of urgent war report!

Hearing these words, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty immediately stopped speaking, the atmosphere in the hall changed, and the civil and military officials looked solemn one by one, you look at me, I look at you......

They knew very well that the urgent battle report coming at this time could never be good news. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Xuan!" The emperor's hand also trembled.

The efficiency of the guards was extremely high, and as soon as the emperor's words fell, the soldiers who delivered the message were brought in, and the soldiers were dusty, their eyes were red, and they knelt in the palace to present the battle report in their hands.

"Your Majesty, Xu Shuai was assassinated and died in the camp. Our army was defeated and retreated, and the Northern Calendar took advantage of the situation to pursue, and our army had lost three cities. ”

"What?" The pot exploded in the hall in an instant, and a few officials who were not stable enough screamed: "Xu Shuai is dead? ”

"Our army has lost three cities in a row?"

The emperor's face turned pale, and he quickly took the battle report presented by the eunuch, and when he saw the content on it, his face became more and more ugly, and he slapped the armrest heavily, and roared angrily: "Northern Calendar, good, you guys are really good!" "It's shameless to use the Martial God.

"The emperor is angry." When the courtiers saw the emperor's appearance, they knelt down busily.

"Calm my anger, how do you let me calm my anger? Nearly a million troops are on the front line, not only did they not block the attack of the Northern Calendar, but also let the Northern Calendar break through three cities in a row, what is the use of raising your group of waste? "In this battle, the emperor paid a lot of effort, it can be said that he wanted people to give people, weapons to weapons, and grain and grass to grain and grass, although it was not enough for the whole country to fight a war, but he also devoted the whole country to support this war, but he didn't want to lose in the end.

"The crimes of the ministers deserve death, please be angry with the emperor." The civil and military officials did not need to practice, so they said in unison to plead guilty.

"You deserve to die." The emperor was furious, and he really wished that he had a sword in his hand and cut down all those useless generals.

The right minister knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, but everything happened on the front line, and it didn't help to be angry, so the right minister said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the war on the front line is tight, and the commander is dead. ”

"What the right minister said is very true," Lin Xiang was also unwilling to be weak, analyzed the battle on the front line, and comforted: "Beili took advantage of the panic of our army to break the three cities in a row, and when our army stabilizes, we will definitely be able to recapture the three cities and drive the Beili back." ”

There were two prime ministers who took the lead, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also followed and persuaded them, and your words and my words made the emperor's anger disappear, but it was just ......

"The choice of commander should not be sloppy, can all Aiqing be selected?" The person who takes over at this time must have inhuman ability, otherwise he will not be able to turn the tide of the war at all.

"Would it be good to pick one of the generals on the front line?" At this time, the commander was sent over, and the distant water could not save the near fire, so it was better to be served by the generals on the front line.

This proposal is good, but if the generals on the front line really have this ability, they will not be beaten by the Northern Calendar after Xu Da's death.

The emperor did not speak, so he said that he did not like this proposal.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty pondered and meditated, and mentioned several old generals one by one, these old generals are all extraordinary, and they are good at leading the army to fight, although they are not young, but they are old and strong, but the emperor is still not satisfied.

Lin Xiang has always been good at figuring out the emperor's heart, and when he saw this situation, he knew that the situation on the front line should be more complicated than he imagined, so he boldly asked: "Your Majesty, is there a master in the Northern Calendar to help?" Zuo Xiang just casually found a reason to find out the news, and he didn't want to let him guess it.

"There is a suspicion that there is a martial god in the Northern Calendar Army." The emperor said the news with a black face, and the ministers were shocked again, "Martial God? This, how is this possible? Isn't the Martial God generally only in the Martial God Mountain, regardless of secular wars? ”

"Martial God, our Dongwen Martial God happens to be cultivating in retreat, how can this be good?"

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty wept and mourned one by one, as if the sky was about to fall.

With the presence of the Martial Gods, and the Northern Calendar forces are stronger than them, they have almost no chance of winning.

"Didn't the Central Empire explicitly stipulate that the Martial God was not allowed to participate in the war? If the Northern Calendar does this, he is not afraid that the Central Empire will send troops to suppress it? The right prime minister had a solemn face, and his cloudy eyes shone with determination.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only this old man has always remained calm.

The emperor said with a cold face: "It's just one foot away from the door, and it's not a martial god." "Just like Xiao Tianyao at this time, he has the strength of a martial god, but he has been suppressing it and not allowing himself to break through.

The right minister sighed heavily, "If that's the case, Lao Chen has a good candidate." ”

As soon as the right minister said this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty quieted down.

They all know who the right minister is talking about, it's just ......

The emperor finally seized King Xiao's military power, will he be willing to let King Xiao take military power again?

Of course the emperor doesn't want to, but now that the national crisis is at hand, he can't just compete with Xiao Tianyao for power, and let Dongwen break the country, right?

If the country is not there, does he still have the right to fight?

"Who? Aiqing, please speak. The emperor forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and pretended to be eager.

When the right minister heard this, he knew that the emperor had compromised, and sighed and said: "King Xiao, our Dongwen god of war, King Xiao, with him, will definitely defeat the Northern Li army." ”

The right minister can understand the grievances in the emperor's heart, but they have no better choice other than that.

"Aiqing said it well, there is the god of war King Xiao, why be afraid of the little Northern Calendar." The emperor gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but there was an excited look on his face, "Come on, draft the will!" ”

Seeing this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent one by one, and they also looked weak when they shouted the emperor's sage.

They know that the emperor has no choice!

The holy decree went down to King Xiao's mansion on the same day, and the emperor named Xiao Tianyao as the general who protected the country, and immediately went out to the front line with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Xiao Tianyao had expected it, but he didn't expect the emperor to react so quickly this time, and accepted the holy decree with an expressionless face, saying that he knew about it.

"Lord Wang......" The eunuch handed the holy decree to Xiao Tianyao, and said stiffly: "The battle on the front line is urgent, we can't wait for a moment, the emperor hopes that the prince can send troops as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Tianyao took the holy decree, glanced at the eunuch coldly, didn't say anything, turned around and walked inside.

The eunuch froze in place, looking at Xiao Tianyao's back blankly: This, is this a promise or not? How is he going to reply to the emperor?

The eunuch looked at the guards and subordinates of King Xiao's Mansion for help, hoping that they could solve their doubts, but they didn't ......

After the guards and subordinates of the palace saw Xiao Tianyao leaving, they left one by one, not at all like others, coaxing the eunuchs in the palace as ancestors.

After Xiao Tianyao entered the house, he threw the holy decree to Steward Cao, "Call the princess to come to see ......" stopped in the middle of the sentence, "Forget it, this king will go directly." ”

Turning around, Xiao Tianyao walked towards Lin Chujiu's courtyard......
