In summer, Chang'an City is even hotter, and the whole city is like a steamer, and the smokers are a little stunned.

Got up early in the morning, while the weather was still cooler, Yu Qi and Fan got into the carriage, Wu and Xu came out to see them off, Xu said to Yu Qi who was about to get into the carriage: "Xianggong, if you can't stay in Suzhou, come back, Chang'an's life is not much better than Suzhou." ”

Wu Shi also nodded: "Yes, I can't think about it, why bother to go to Suzhou to eat wind and sand." ”

Now that Yu Qi has been brainwashed by Fan Wu, he has already decided in his heart that he will definitely be able to make some achievements in Suzhou, and where is he willing to listen to Wu's words, he nodded to Wu's: "Mother, I understand in my heart, don't send you and Xu, go back." ”

"Xianggong." Xu was a little reluctant.

"If you really can't bear it, come with us." Yu Qi said angrily.

Xu Shi immediately fell silent, and Yu Qi sneered: "Since you can't let go of Chang'an's good days, why bother to make such a look." ”

Not only Xu's, but Wu's face was also a little embarrassed, Yu Qi urged the coachman: "Let's leave early while the weather is good." ”

After urging, he waved his hand to Wu and Xu, and Fan Wu also took the opportunity to poke his head out of the car and smiled: "Mother, you and your sister should go back, we will write back when we arrive in Suzhou." ”

Yu Qi urged the coachman vigorously, the carriage drove quickly, and when the carriage walked to the road, Fan Wu sneered in his heart, only saying that the Xu family is too stupid, no matter how good the life of Chang'an is, what can it be, there is no money and no power in Chang'an City, it is not bullied, besides, women do not rely on their own husband, not to say that they are good to catch the heart of Xianggong, but to covet those who have not, it is clear that Yu Qi just wants to take Xu's office, Xu's is good, but he doesn't go? is so relieved to ask her to follow this flat wife, it is really speechless.

Such a fool, Fan Wu felt that dealing with her was lowering his style.

Yu Qi walked on the front foot, and there was an urgent battle report from Yanzhou on the back foot, and the eight-hundred-mile urgent war report went straight from Suzaku Street all the way and entered the palace directly.

Emperor Chengping received the battle report and looked at it a few times, he was simply shocked, frightened and angry, naturally, he was more afraid than any emotion.

"Go, call Ding Xiang, and, please, please General Song." Emperor Chengping ordered one after another.

Not long after, Ding Xiang and the old general Song came, Emperor Chengping showed the battle report to two people, Ding Xiang looked almost as frightened as Emperor Chengping's face turned pale, and the old general Song angrily tore the battle report to pieces: "Northern Liang is too deceitful, Your Majesty, please give the minister 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the minister will go to Yanzhou and fight to the death with Northern Liang." ”

"The old general can't talk nonsense." Ding Xiang's face was frightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly went to stop the old general Song: "The Northern Liang is now strong and strong, and the cavalry is the most powerful, there have always been Northern Liang cavalry but not 10,000, and it is said that it is invincible, and now the 100,000 army of the Northern Liang Chen soldiers Yanzhou, the old general does not say 30,000, even the 300,000 soldiers and horses are afraid and can't resist it." ”

"It's the pole, it's the pole." Emperor Chengping echoed Ding Xiang's words: "Old general, don't forget the events of Wenzong's time, Emperor Wenzong just hated Yanzhou City, since then, Beiliang has become stronger and stronger, we, our Great Zhou are afraid that we will not be able to resist." ”

Like this kind of timid words before the war began, the old general Song was really cold, but no matter how cold the heart was, the old general Song was still a heart for the country and the people, he pushed the gold mountain and bowed down to the jade pillar, and his head was so low that he could almost touch the gold bricks on the ground: "Your Majesty, no matter how invincible we are, we have to send troops, otherwise, Beiliang, Beiliang is afraid that he will directly attack our Great Zhou Dynasty, and then the Great Zhou Dynasty will be really in danger." ”

"That, that." Emperor Chengping was already six gods and no master, and looked at the old general Song: "What should I do with the old general?" ”

"Send troops to help the defenders, no matter what, you have to hold Yanzhou." The old general Song's tone was very resolute: "Your Majesty, our Great Zhou Dynasty has no room for loss, in order to protect the land of the Great Zhou, the ministers are willing to fight on the battlefield, and there is no regret in dying." ”

Although the old general Song is old, but the courage has not become smaller at all, but more arrogant, his words provoked Emperor Chengping also has a bit of heroism, only to pat the table to allow the old general Song's mention, I don't want to, there is another war report arrived, Emperor Chengping took it and looked at it, then sat down, and waved his hand for a while: "It's late, it's late, I'm afraid that Yanzhou won't be able to keep it." ”

Ding Xiang and the old general Song both leaned over to read the battle report, it turned out to be the battle report sent by Su Zhonghe, the northernmost border city garrison in Yanzhou, the border city had been captured by the Northern Liang army, Su Zhonghe killed the border city in battle, and apologized for his death.

After reading this filled battle report, the old general Song burst into tears: "Su garrison loyal people, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that tens of thousands of people in the border city are afraid that they are going to suffer, but they are hateful and incompetent, and they are extremely hateful." ”

Emperor Chengping didn't feel good in his heart, he sat there with a pale face, and looked at Ding Xiang and General Song for help: "What do you think the two Aiqing should do?" ”

Ding Xiang's whole momentum was much weaker, and he nodded and stood there: "Please Your Majesty." ”

The old general Song clenched his fists: "Reinforcements, send troops as much as possible, otherwise I am afraid that Decheng will not be protected." ”

"Yes, yes." Emperor Chengping seemed to be looking for the backbone of the main heart, and nodded vigorously: "Send troops, send troops immediately." ”

"陛xià." Ding Xiang stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, where are the soldiers going to be sent?" The forbidden army can't move, the soldiers everywhere have to guard the city, the soldiers in Suzhou can't move, Xidi is afraid of any changes, the soldiers in Jinzhou can't move, and the soldiers in Jiangnan Province can't move...... To tell the truth, I'm afraid it won't be possible to go to the north, Shandong Province has always been governed by Xie Lun, and with his means, I'm afraid that the soldiers can't find the generals over the years, and they won't be able to find the soldiers......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Chengping fell softly on the chair: "How is this good?" ”

The old general Song glared at Ding Xiang vigorously: "Now that the situation is so dangerous, Ding Xiang still thinks about these and not, no matter which soldiers they are, they should be transferred to Decheng first, and if they don't do it, they should send more troops for the sake of the military and people's hearts in Decheng first." ”

"It's light for you to say this, but you don't want to send a return to the army, where can you buy food and grass? Where does military spending come from? How to go on the road, how early and late can I get to Decheng? Ding Xiang stiffened his neck and argued with General Song: "This is not a trivial matter, at least the grain and grass must be fully prepared before the troops, but now that the summer harvest has not arrived, where can I buy grain and grass?" ”

The old General Song who asked this question was also embarrassed.

Emperor Chengping was even more at a loss of ideas, so he would only sit on the chair and ask, "How can you be born?" ”

Ding Xiang looked at Emperor Chengping and said: "According to the minister's intentions, it is better to send an envoy to the Northern Liang and have a good talk with the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Liang. ”

"This is done." As soon as Emperor Chengping heard this, he immediately sat up straight: "Ding Xiang, you quickly find someone who can speak kindly, and ask him to bring more good things to Beiliang ......"

"Yes." Ding Xiang hurriedly agreed, and retreated after making a gesture.

The old general Song stood in the Zichen Hall and didn't go out, he was very angry and said to Emperor Chengping: "Ding Xiang's other construction yì, His Majesty should cut off his head, what are you doing with such a villain who misleads the country and the people?" ”

"Old General." Emperor Chengping hurriedly smiled and explained to General Song: "How can Ding Qing be willing? Ding Qing is also thinking about me, and he doesn't want me to worry too much. ”

The angry old General Song almost didn't fall to the ground, he clenched his fists: "When Emperor Wenzong was emperor, he cut the land with Beiliang and sued for peace, but what did he get in exchange?" In the past hundred years, the monarchs of the Northern Liang have become more and more unscrupulous, in exchange for today's border city is broken, if His Majesty cuts the land and asks for peace, it will not be a few years, the monarch of the Northern Liang is more and more dissatisfied, and the minister wants to ask His Majesty, how many cities can be ceded to the Northern Liang, how many beauties can be driven for the Northern Liang monarchs and ministers to trample on, and how much property can be taken from the world for the Northern Liang people to enjoy? ”

General Song's words became more and more fierce one after another, and Emperor Chengping's face became more and more bad.

In the end, Emperor Chengping couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped the table vigorously and said, "Old general, is this your attitude towards the king?" I will condemn you for great disrespect. ”

The old general Song sneered: "If you want to kill, you have to obey the orders of Your Majesty, and the minister has no words." ”

When he said this, Emperor Chengping was almost out of breath: "Don't you really dare to be me?" ”

"The minister has never thought like this, what the minister said is the truth, but it is against the ear, if His Majesty can't listen to the minister, he won't dare to say anything, the minister is old anyway, and he doesn't have a few years to live, and now he can wake up His Majesty with this stump, so that His Majesty knows the wolf ambition of the Northern Liang people, and the minister will never give up." The old general Song is a loyal minister and a direct minister, and the more stubborn his courtiers are, the more stubborn he is, so he will put it on the Zichen Palace and carry it on the shoulders of Emperor Chengping, and it is really impossible for Emperor Chengping to do anything.

In the end, Emperor Chengping had no choice but to beg the old general Song repeatedly, and the old general was also full of feelings, and left the Zichen Palace with tears.

When he returned home, the old general shut himself in his house and wept bitterly, and the next day he fell ill in bed and could not get up again.

At that time, Ding Xiang really found a clever minister and brought a lot of generous gifts to Beiliang.

This is a month of hard work, and when the minister comes back, the Northern Liang has already broken through the city of De, the people of the border city and the city of Decheng are really bad, especially the border city, where the people were killed and wounded by the army of the Northern Liang, a good prosperous city is more miserable than the ghost domain, the people of the entire border city do not exist, far away from the border city can smell the strong smell of blood, the bones of the people can pave the road of the name of the city, and the heads of the people can be piled up into a hill.

Decheng is better than the border city, but it is not much better, the dead people are dying miserably, and the living people are not as good as death.

The Northern Liang army captured Decheng and stationed there, waiting for Emperor Hou Zhou Chengping to reply.

The envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty brought news to Emperor Chengping, and Emperor Beiliang asked Emperor Chengping to cede the entire Yanzhou, otherwise, he would lead the army to Chang'an and capture Chang'an City.

These words really frightened Emperor Chengping, and after thinking about it for a long time, he agreed to cede Yanzhou with fear.

The ministers of the main and faction in the court agreed with Emperor Chengping's decision, but the ministers of the main battle faction did not agree, and for a while, there were constant disputes in the court.

The news of the cession of Yanzhou spread all over Chang'an, and the entire Chang'an City, regardless of the women and children of the country, was talking about this matter, and everyone was worried and worried.
