Chapter 187: The Battle Situation

Fu Qizheng went to the study, and Li Changhai brought the minions in to clean up the messy Lizheng Hall before letting the ministers in.

"Weichen see the emperor."

"Flat."

Fu Qizheng opened a gap and looked out, the ministers all looked sad, even Fu Renxian and Qin Xiang were at a loss, what happened?

The ministers looked at each other, as if they had something unspeakable, but no one was willing to be the first to speak, and Li Changhai presented a report.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops can't hold a northern state?"

"The emperor, the army has been defeated and retreated, and has been trapped in the city for a long time, and the reinforcements have been ambushed many times on the way, and they have suffered heavy casualties before they reach the pass."

"Your Majesty, if you continue to fight like this, it's not a long-term solution."

"The long-term plan that Tong Shangshu said is to cut off Beizhou and negotiate peace with Jin State?" Fu Renxian said.

Tong Shangshu also said: "The Jin country is not what it used to be, and our army has not won a single battle in this battle......

Fu Renxian immediately interrupted Tong Shangshu's words: "The army of the Jin State has entered the border of my Daning country, not to mention that Beizhou is the first city on the border, and it is related to the prestige of Daning. ”

"Then according to what Master Fu said, if you continue to keep it, how long can you keep it? General Lian Suliang was wounded, the morale of our army was greatly damaged, and it has been several months since he retreated to Beizhou, and he is about to be unable to hold it, so he has to fight to the death? It is better to abandon this city and let the army rest. ”

Many ministers echoed the voice, and it seems that many advocate land cession and peace. Fu Qi is still on the battlefield. Fu Renxian insisted on fighting and never compromising for peace, and Fu Qizheng believed that there must be his father's own truth in this.

Another minister pleaded: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with what Lord Tong said. There is no chance of winning any further fighting, and it is a vain waste of troops, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

The ministers in the palace said a word to me, only Qin Xiang and Emperor Yuan were silent. Fu Qizheng lowered the curtain and couldn't help but think of Qin Xiang's words again, Jin Guo's original intention was not to seize Beizhou, but if he did not intend to seize Beizhou. And why do you keep besieging Beizhou City?

Fu Qizheng raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on the Daning territory map on the wall of the study, and the war-like Beizhou City was located in the far north. There is no city in the north of Beizhou City, it is a Liaoyuan, and then it is bordered by the river in the north of Jinguo. The Jin State provoked the war because it wanted to invade the territory of the Ning Dynasty, if it did not take Beizhou. and where they are going to attack?

There are many cities on the border. But the closest to the Jin country is Beizhou, the others are far apart, although Fu Qizheng does not know the way of marching soldiers, but he can also see that other cities do not need to be attacked first, no wonder Qin Xiang has this suspicion, but has not said anything, most of them think that no one will believe it.

"If it's not Northstate, where would it be?" Fu Qizheng looked at the map of the territory. Talk to oneself.

"Sun Mingyi, the regent of the Jin Kingdom, uses soldiers like a god, and this person can defeat thousands of troops. Su Liang was not his opponent at all, and he was now trapped in the city. ”

"Where did that man come from?"

"Since he is surnamed Gongsun, and he is so reused by the Jin State, it should be the remnants of the former Xu Dynasty."

Listening to the talk outside, Fu Qizheng thought about it repeatedly, if Gongsun Mingyi is really Zheng Yuanzhi, then Zheng Yuanzhi's purpose of taking the city is to exchange with him, he is the king of Daning, and the country is what he cherishes, Zheng Yuanzhi wants to exchange the city for Fu Qizheng, and the city used must not be Beizhou, and even the ministers are advising to give up Beizhou to negotiate peace, which shows that Beizhou is not an important town.

The ministers didn't perceive the intention of the Jin State, just because they thought that the Jin State intended to invade the territory, and the capture of Beizhou must be the first choice, and now that it is about to be captured, it is impossible for the Jin State to abandon Beizhou and take something else. But Zheng Yuan's intention is to exchange, and he must take a city of great significance. Fu Qizheng looked at the map carefully, and suddenly a city attracted her attention, Sheng Ning!

Shengning is the land of Longxing of Daning, even if it is located in a remote area, it is by no means the same as the general city, its important position is no less than Pingjing, although Shengning is not a border city, there seem to be two cities in the north to protect, if there is no resistance, in fact, it can be smashed straight from it, and the long drive in, now most of the troops in the north are going to save the danger of Beizhou, and the strength of these two cities should be empty.

Coming to this conclusion, Fu Qizheng was already anxious, and he no longer had the heart to listen to the outside speech, leaning against the wall, and fell into deep thought: this matter is not easy to speak, if it is directly said that Jin Guo wants to seize Shengning, most of the ministers will think this statement is ridiculous, how can Jin Guo let go of the upcoming Beizhou and not take it, to seize a Shengning, in the eyes of Jin Guo, what is the difference between Beizhou and Shengning. But if you want to mention Zheng Yuanzhi's person and his intentions, it is nothing more than putting yourself in danger.

"The emperor has to make a decision immediately, the war is critical, and Beizhou can't hold it."

Hearing that Tong Shangshu and other ministers were forcing him to cede the land and sue for peace, Fu Qizheng was even more anxious, Jin Guo didn't want to take Beizhou, but if Ning Chao took the initiative to cut the land, how could Jin Guo not laugh. In this way, didn't you lose your wife and lose your soldiers?

The ministers outside were arguing, Fu Qizheng was very anxious but didn't dare to go out, if only Fu Renxian and Qin Xiang were in the palace, it would be fine, but with Chen Tong and his party here, she would definitely cause big trouble if she went out to participate in the government so recklessly, and now I just hope that he can not violate his original intention and not give up an inch of land.

Fu Qizheng opened the curtain again and looked out, Tong Shangshu and his henchmen did not hesitate to kneel in the palace: "Your Majesty, the lives of thousands of soldiers cannot be buried in vain." ”

Fu Renxian stopped talking, and watched Tong Dang kneel and beg silently, Fu Qizheng was worried that his father might have no reason to stop him, after all, Beizhou would not be able to hold it if it continued like this, and it was indeed more advantageous to cut the land and negotiate on the surface than to keep it.

If no one admonishes him, I am afraid that Emperor Yuan will be difficult to persevere. Tong Dang was kneeling on the ground to admonish, he should not pay attention to this, Fu Qizheng hid to the side, and instantly lifted the curtain, which attracted the attention of Fu Renxian and Qin Xiang, and when the curtain was about to close, Fu Qizheng appeared behind the curtain.

When his father saw him, Fu Qizheng pointed to the other hand with one hand, and the hand was guarded. Fu Renxian understood, relying on his trust in his daughter, so he was no longer silent, and said: "Your Majesty, Beizhou City must not be abandoned, and it should be defended." ”

Tong Shangshu immediately asked: "Can Master Fu afford the evil consequences of guarding?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers also agree to stick to Beizhou." The ministers who stood on Fu Renxian's side spoke up.

The two sides are at a stalemate, but there is still an admonition to stick to Beizhou, and Emperor Yuan will certainly not easily agree to negotiate peace, so he decided to make a decision tomorrow morning.

Fu Qizheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after the ministers left, Fu Qizheng went out of the study and saw Emperor Yuan sitting in front of the bookcase, looking worried.

"Did you hear that?"

"The ministers are arguing so much, they don't want to hear it."

"I didn't expect the war to come to such a point, in your opinion, what should I do?"

"Of course my daughter listens to her father."

"Then who should I listen to?"

"Listen to your own heart, losing and giving in are two different things, does the emperor really want Daning to give up Beizhou so easily?" (To be continued.) )
