Chapter XXII
The people who asked for help from Juyongguan rode to the gate of the palace, and on Suzaku Street, where noise was never allowed, they rode wild along the way, causing people to turn over on their backs. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Longevity! What does it do?
Ordinary people rushed to the side, and Suzaku Street is one of the busiest streets in Kyoto, with many shops and pedestrians lining the streets.
When the eye-sighted man saw the galloping past, he said, "Look at what they are wearing, they must have come from the border gate."
When the people around heard this, they were silent for a while, and their hearts became heavy, and they all thought of a place in their hearts.
Juyongguan.
A scene not long ago seemed to have just happened in front of their eyes, everyone watched the army from afar, the general was in high spirits, leading tens of thousands of people towards the border pass, thinking that they would soon receive the good news of the great victory at the border pass, who knew that there would be no news as soon as they went.
"It's going to be messy!" The slightly older man sighed with emotion, watching the pedestrians staggered by the horseback soldiers just now, and the people were panicked, so he simply closed the door of the shop, intending to rest for a day.
"It's early in the morning, it's just opened, why is there no one." The person who came here looked at the closed shop with a disappointed face.
"Shopkeeper Liu went home, it's not open today, little brother, go to another house to have a look." As soon as the nearby boss spoke, he also instructed the people around him to act.
The lively Suzaku Street suddenly became much colder, which made many passers-by feel puzzled.
"Urgent report, Juyong Guan urgent report." The soldier in armor shouted loudly, he thought he had exhausted his strength, but in fact his voice was very low, hoarse.
Mo Siyuan, the chief soldier of Juyongguan, sent a total of seven waves of people to Kyoto to ask for help, only their group rushed out, dozens of people were left with only five or six left, and two people fell on the road, and now the three of them are all embarrassed and covered with dust.
When Emperor Qianyuan heard the report, he immediately ordered someone to bring them in.
When the cabinet ministers heard the news, they immediately prepared and discussed the next solution.
"Juyong Pass is critical, we must rescue, this is the last hurdle to resist the barbarians, and we must not lose it." The official department is still in the book.
"Of course the rescue must be saved, but the treasury really doesn't have much silver." Tobe Shangshu said with a embarrassed face.
The newly appointed head of the household department has only one word to describe him, that is, "decline".
Others have done the first of one and become Lord Shangshu, it is all infinite scenery, the spring breeze is proud, and the people around him will be shocked three times when he stomps his feet, but he doesn't talk about the scenery, it is just a pile of messes waiting for him to clean up.
"There is also a lot of lack of weapons." The Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who is difficult to brother, opened his mouth, and the war is about money and people, and now the life of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War is very sad.
"The barbarians are about to fight, you just watch the Juyong Pass being breached, and the barbarians will drive straight in, and I don't know how many people will die under the hooves of the barbarians." Representatives of the radical faction spoke.
"You know if you want something, why don't you want to think about our difficulties, the recent years have been bad, and there is really no silver in the treasury."
"No one, I can't conjure up a big living person, what do you want me to do?"
The house instantly became a pot of porridge, and it was said that a woman could top 10,000 ducks, and it turned out that men were very slippery when they played their mouths, and they were able to enter this room and sit in this position today, and their faces were very thick-skinned.
"Squeak." Footsteps sounded, and after a few knocks on the door, a group of people opened and entered.
The adults in the house had already heard the report, and when Grandpa Su came, everyone in the house was quietly doing their own things, and they couldn't see anything wrong, but of course the atmosphere still made people feel nervous.
Su Gong said fairly: "Your Majesty summons all the adults. ”
Everyone rushed out, followed behind Gonggong Su, and walked towards the imperial study.
The place where the cabinet ministers discuss is not far from the imperial study, and in order to facilitate the emperor's will to be issued at any time, these people are there every day, so naturally the two cannot be too far apart.
In the imperial study, the person who asked for help had been taken down, and there were still a few pieces of porcelain broken on the ground, which looked like Emperor Qianyuan had broken the cup.
When Emperor Qianyuan saw that everyone was coming, he motioned to them to talk about their thoughts, which was actually to ask them to give a solution.
The right minister was in the imperial study today, and when he saw everyone, he first talked about the situation, and everyone who said it was heartbroken.
It's worse than they think.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any ideas, just say them, no matter what the method, I will consider them as appropriate." Emperor Qianyuan said.
The ministers looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, you and I began to speak one by one, and after discussing for a long time, three solutions were come up with.
One is to send people to sue for peace, the barbarians have not yet broken through the Juyong Pass, they sent people to negotiate peace, promised them some conditions, the barbarians must be attacking the city for the food in the pass, just give them some.
The second is to continue fighting, of course, there are two situations in this.
Some suggested that troops should be transferred directly from a place closer to Juyong Pass, so as to save time, and the food and grass could also be solved nearby.
The imperial court can also transfer people from the military department, but Emperor Qianyuan did not ask about the situation of the military department, and Lord Shangshu of the military department himself made it clear.
"Your Majesty, now is a special moment, and the closest thing is the soldiers and horses of Youzhou." The military department is still the book.
Emperor Qianyuan nodded, "There are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed near Youzhou, and I have already ordered Hu not to take people to gallop to help Juyong Pass." ”
Emperor Qianyuan's decree had already been issued.
The adults looked at each other, and several people knew what they were going to do before they came, and then looked at Emperor Qianyuan's ugly face, the teacups on the ground and the faint bloodstains, and several people couldn't help but hesitate in their hearts.
Lord Right shook his head slightly, which means that today's situation is not right, let everyone go back first, and there is something to talk about later.
Emperor Qianyuan sat on the chair in the study, and after the courtiers left, he leaned on the chair behind him, and he no longer had his original strength.
"100,000 soldiers and horses, plus the people in Juyong Pass, the barbarians are only 50,000 or 60,000 people, I hope Hu Bu will not let me down." Emperor Qianyuan said, always a little worried in his heart.
Gonggong Su bowed his head and stood aside, "Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens, so naturally everything will be fine." ”
"Hong Fu Qitian, you, this is just to make me happy, you old minion, you really think there is such a person in the world." Emperor Qianyuan said.
Emperor Qianyuan said that the war at Juyongguan opened the prelude to the war on the entire continent. (To be continued.) )
