Emperor Wanlong was still a little stunned, and asked in a daze: "Where is Bantian Mansion?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Bantian Mansion is south of Jianbei City." Ling Shutong hurriedly replied.

"South of Jianbei City......" Emperor Wanlong muttered to himself, suddenly his face changed again, he looked around at the ministers, and exclaimed in shock, "How can the grass pirates penetrate deep into the hinterland of Beifu!" ”

The ministers looked at each other speechlessly, and they couldn't speak for a long time, who would have thought that the Mobei Tribes, which were famous for their cavalry, would use the tricks of the sailors to silently ride south. Before this battle, I was afraid that no one would think that the Mongols would take advantage of the Zhijiang River to go south and attack the west, even if the Dagan Imperial Court did not have a warship sailor along the Zhijiang River. This time, the Mong was really unexpected, and now it was too late to wake up.

Li Luo's heart sank like water, and he had long warned himself that Xiang Liu'er must have calculations, and even Li Luo, the three tribes in the sea of grass who had not moved, had suspicions, maybe it was Xiang Liu'er's plan to secretly Chen Cang, but in fact, these three tribes had also returned to Mengji. Li Luo guessed correctly in this place, but Li Luo didn't expect that the rest of Caohai would borrow the fold to go south, in all fairness, Li Luo never thought that the Caohai tribes would also fight in the water, and he never thought that Mobei Qunhao could get so many ships, more than 200,000 people, which is not a small number.

The only way to do this is to find a way to break the siege of the Caohai coalition army, and then plot the situation in Liangzhou.

Many of the ministers in the palace were panicked, but they were not as colorless as Emperor Wanlong in the hall.

"This, how is this going to be?" Emperor Wanlong asked in a trembling voice, and for a while, he lost an inch, and he had no plan.

"Your Majesty." Li Luoshen snorted.

Emperor Wanlong's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped the last straw, and shouted: "Xuanlou, Beifu ......"

"Hmm." Li Luoping replied and looked at Emperor Wanlong calmly. Xu is Li Luo's calm expression made Emperor Wanlong's heart feel something, and Emperor Wanlong stabilized his mind, coughed lightly, suppressed the fear in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, what are your plans for the war in Beifu?" ”

The ministers looked at each other, there are not many people who are proficient in all things of the soldiers, and those who know also understand that Jianbei City is already fierce and unlucky, and the perfunctory strategy is not to mention breaking the enemy when the time comes, maybe it will make the situation in front of him worse.

Emperor Wanlong was slightly angry and shouted, "Taishi, what do you say you should do?" ”

"Qi Qi Sheng, the minister thinks that the imperial court should raise troops to the north as soon as possible to relieve the danger of the northern army being attacked by the enemy." Di Jie replied in a deep voice.

"What's the solution? Where do the soldiers come from? ”

"This ......" Di Jie glanced at Li Luo and replied in a deep voice, "This needs to be considered in the long run." ”

"Think long!? In the long run, my own brother, Prince Dagan, will be trapped and killed in Jianbei City. Emperor Wanlong was displeased, reprimanded, and then looked at Taifu Ling Shutong and shouted, "Taifu, you can talk about it." ”

"Weichen thinks that the Taishi is reasonable, and the northern army is in danger of being attacked by the enemy, and the imperial court should immediately send troops to the north, if it can contain the enemy army in Caohai that is going south this time, and give the Dagan soldiers in Jianbei City a chance to breathe, maybe they can also put the enemy army in Caohai who came to attack in the back and abdomen, and break it in one fell swoop."

The ministers responded one after another, and they all urged Emperor Wanlong to immediately send troops to relieve the siege, but only a few people did not speak. The battle in Beifu can not be asserted with only an urgent report, and there is no exact news about the strength of the Caohai coalition army outside Jianbei City.

Emperor Wanlong's face softened slightly, and when he thought about it, seeing that Li Luo was silent, he raised his voice and asked, "Xuanlou, what do you think?" ”

Li Luo groaned slightly, and responded in a deep voice: "Returning to the Holy Lord, it is urgent to send troops to Beifu, but how to send troops really needs to be considered in the long run." ”

"Oh, tell me about it."

"The Caohai soldiers went south by folding the river, the defenders of Bantian Mansion were insufficient, and they were embarrassed to be of great use, and the situation of Jianbei City being attacked by the enemy was difficult to change. Your lords said that they should send troops to relieve the siege as soon as possible, but this urgent report was a few days ago, even if there was a book from the birds, we would immediately lead the army to the north, and it would be many days after arriving in Yeliangzhou, and now it would be useless to rush the troops north. ”

"But, my lord, saving people is like fighting a fire, I can't afford to delay, what if Lord Taibao waits for the imperial court to send troops to relieve the siege?" Several ministers said worriedly.

Li Luo replied in harmony: "It's not that you don't save it, but that the way to save it is to plan and then act." ”

"Xuanlou, I'm afraid that Prince Chun won't last long."

"Back to the saint, Jianbei City is the capital of Liangzhou, easy to defend and difficult to attack, my father has hoarded a lot of grain and grass in Jianbei City, just to guard, if nothing unexpected happens, it is difficult for the Caohai tribes to capture Jianbei City within half a year. There are more than 200,000 soldiers of the Dingbei Army inside and outside Jianbei City, although only half of the number of Caohai coalition forces this time, but the siege is the next strategy in the art of war, and the strength of a city is several times more than the opponent to have a chance of winning. ”

As soon as Li Luo's words came out, the ministers talked about it, and from time to time some people nodded yes, let Li Luo say this, the raid of the three Luoyun tribes to the south didn't seem to be so frightening, but it became an opportunity for Da Gan. However, there are soldiers such as Di Jie, who naturally know that it will not be as simple as Li Luo said, the Caohai tribes have the momentum to take the lead, and they can fight or retreat, and they do not have to be entangled with Prince Chun in Jianbei City. Bantian Mansion and Zhejiang are only separated by a mountain, and across the Zhejiang River is Yanshenzhou, and the entire Beifu is almost under the peep of the Caohai Iron Horse, and there is nothing missing. As for Yeliangzhou or Jianbei City, it may not be so important.

Li Luo naturally knew the flaws in these words, but at the moment, he could not let the important ministers of the court lose their courage and attack their hearts. Li Luo saw that Emperor Wanlong was still hesitant, but he did his duty to Prince Chun Li Chengye, which made Li Luo impressed.

"Your Majesty, in fact, there is one more thing that must be guarded against."

"Anything else?" Emperor Wanlong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"If the enemy from Caohai does not enter Liangzhou, and goes south by boat to Zhezhen and crosses the Kunjiang River, it will be the boundary of Zhuozhou."

The hall was quiet, everyone changed color in unison, the meaning of Zhuozhou boundary is not far from Zhuocheng, and the sound of the earth-shaking bell at the palace gate will be more than seven, eight and nine sounds are also possible.

Emperor Wanlong's face changed greatly, once Zhuocheng was in danger and the government and the opposition were in turmoil, where would he dare to insist on sending troops immediately, and hurriedly asked: "Xuanlou, how is this good?" ”
