Tuhuan's accusations put all the main responsibility for the loss of Yangzhou on Yuxi Timur and Ma Shao, Batu and Duge, but he never mentioned the forcible seizure of Yangzhou's military and political power, but instead said that he was a hero who took over the responsibility of defending the city when he was in danger, and was fully supported by the officials and soldiers and civilians in the city. As for the final defeat, it was also because of the strong strength of the Song army, the sharp firearms, and the emergence of internal thieves that led to the failure of the breakout.

Everyone knows that Ma Shao is a man, and it is unbelievable that he has betrayed the king and committed treason, and several Han officials have also spoken out to defend him. But none of the parties were present. It is true that Yuxi Timur did not know his life and death in Jiangnan, Ma Shao's whereabouts were unknown after the city was broken, and it was true that Batu and Duge rebelled against Yuan and became the leading party, and the war reports from many places mentioned that they served as envoys to the Southern Dynasty to persuade them to surrender.

At the moment, only the lonely escape became a witness, and everyone saw its miserable appearance, all the net worth, sons, wives and daughters were all trapped in the city, and only with dozens of guards to highlight the encirclement to warn the imperial court, no matter how you look at it, he is also a hero of the empire, plus he is the beloved son of the former emperor, and the brother of the current emperor, it is impossible to do anything unfavorable to the country, because for them it is the real 'country is home'.

In addition, several of you here are important ministers of the imperial court and the core figures of the ruling group, and some of them are the initiators of the southern invasion, and even if others are not directly involved, they are not unaware. At least they all knew that Yuxi Timur used Yangzhou City as a 'bait' to attract the main force of the Song army in Jiangdong, and that Ma Shao entered the Song camp as a peace envoy to spy on the military situation, and it was not impossible that something unknown had happened.

"Great Khan, the minister thought that Ma Shao colluded with the Southern Dynasty and leaked the military aircraft is very suspicious, although it may have been inadvertently confided. Otherwise, how could the Southern Dynasty know about the southern crossing of our army, and make arrangements in advance, so that they would be trapped in Jiangdong. Therefore, Yangzhou was lost, the southern army was trapped, Ma Shao could not escape the blame, and he should be held accountable and punished! Sang Ge then stood up and saluted. He knew that the Great Khan of the present day believed in Han law, so he also did what he liked, and acted according to the etiquette of the Han ministers, rather than as the casual of the old Mongol ministers.

"Brother Sang, this matter is not yet clear, Ma Shao's whereabouts are still unknown, how can he make a judgment, and ask the Great Khan to find out!" Xu Yan heard the meaning of Sang Ge's words, that is, to put all the responsibility for the failure on Ma Shao, and he hurriedly got up and gave a salute to defend him.

"Xu Zhongcheng, the Great Khan has his own clear judgment, but with the current situation and what the King of Zhennan said, and Ma Shao has repeatedly criticized the government, vented his dissatisfaction, and excluded many colleagues, and he can't let go of the Great Khan's love for letting him leave the dynasty and go out of the province to avoid trouble, and it is inevitable that he will have different ambitions and do inappropriate things!" At this time, the right Cheng Antong stepped forward and said.

"Right ......"

"Xu Zhongcheng doesn't need to say anymore, Ma Shao is loyal or traitorous will find out in the future, the current Southern Dynasty is invading the north, and the army entering the Central Plains is a major event, and national affairs must be the priority!" Xu Yan still wanted to argue, but Shangshu Zuo Cheng Ye Li stopped him at this time.

"You ......" Xu Yan knew that Ye Li and Ma Shao had a good personal relationship, but at this time he was questioned and misunderstood, and he was reluctant to come out to protect his self, but he still stopped himself, which made him very angry, but when he saw his complicated eyes, he instantly understood, and he swallowed back the words that had reached his throat.

He knew that the people in this position made by the official were all human spirits, and Yuxi Timur crossed the Jiangnan expedition without the instructions of the Great Khan, and his great courage did not dare to give up Yangzhou and not save the king of Zhennan. Now he is just scolding Yuxi Timur and resenting Ma Shao, but he never mentions the Great Khan, is it really because he doesn't know who the mastermind is? The answer is definitely not.

Because Tuhuan knew that no matter what he tossed, he would not be able to shake the position of real gold at the moment, but he would annoy the Great Khan, but he could put the responsibility on his own head and put him to death. Therefore, he understands what the bottom line is, and to what extent he should stop in moderation, rather than being unforgiving. And Sang Ge, An Tong and Ye Li also saw the situation clearly. Yangzhou has been lost, the enemy army has entered Huanghuai, and the hundreds of thousands of troops who crossed the Jiangdong south in the name of Tuhuan are afraid that they will be more than lucky.

Someone must be responsible for such a big thing in the country, but it will definitely not be the real gold of the Great Khan as a decision-maker. Tuhuan is the one with the highest title in the two Huai, and he has the responsibility of an inspector, so it is said that it is most appropriate to put the responsibility on him. But everyone knows that his status is special, and he has no power and power, so he cannot influence such major events related to the rise and fall of the country. If the Great Khan let him take the blame, not only would he be suspected of fratricidalism, but he would also anger the old sect forces, and he would naturally not do it at the moment.

Yuxi Timur was the maker and executor of the plan for the southern expedition, and it was the most appropriate option to hold him accountable. But now that the news is cut off, no one knows whether it will win or lose. If you rashly throw the pot at him, it is better to say that he is defeated, it is the wisdom of the Great Khan; But if he wins, he will make a great contribution there, but he will copy his home here, and a fool will know what he will think. Moreover, Yuxi Timur still has 100,000 heavy soldiers in his hands, and once he is forced to surrender to the Song Dynasty, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, the Great Khan will not let the pot on his back, at least not for the time being.

Sang Ge was extremely clever, and realized the suffering of the Great Khan, so he detained the pot on Ma Shao with the words of dejoy. On the one hand, Ma Shao's position is high enough to take on this responsibility; Ma Shao was demoted from the court, and his resentment was also said in the past as a reason for the Song Dynasty, and as a liaison between the court and the Southern Dynasty, he also had the conditions for collaborating with the enemy; At present, the Hanfa faction of the three is weak, not only has few opponents, but also curries favor with the old sect and caters to the holy will.

In this way, it doesn't matter whether Ma Shao is alive or dead, loyal or traitorous, as long as someone carries the defeated pot. Of course, it is best to die in the chaotic army, that is the crime deserved, and the evil will be rewarded; Even if he is alive, he may not be able to wait for the three sessions to be tried, and he will be 'committed suicide in fear of crime' on the way back to be escorted or escaped;

When Xu Yan thought of this, he realized that if he still stood up for Ma Shao, he would become the target of everyone, not only would he be attacked by the ministers, but more importantly, he would not be happy with the Great Khan, thinking that he would not understand what he would worry about. And once he loses the protection of the Great Khan, the fate is also obvious, so Ye Li will make a look at him to stop arguing, so as not to make it difficult for him to protect himself, and the strength of the Hanfa faction will be further weakened.

"Ma Shao betrayed the monarch and treason, secretly connected with the Southern Dynasty, so that Yangzhou was lost, and his crime is unforgivable." Zhenjin said angrily, "Ye Zuocheng, you will be responsible for investigating and handling this case, and pay his family property to King Zhennan as compensation, and his family members will be temporarily detained, and they will be disposed of after all their culpabilities are discovered!" ”

"Obey the order!" Ye Li Shili led the order.

"Great Khan Shengming!" The others also saluted. But everyone feels different. Xu Yan was secretly relieved in his heart, knowing that although the Great Khan ordered the investigation, he only asked Ye Li to do it, obviously he also knew that Ma Shao was wronged, so let him secretly help, don't embarrass his family; Sang Ge was a little frustrated, he came forward to impeach Ma Shao, the original intention was to further attack the Hanfa faction and expel them from the court, but the Great Khan made a decision immediately, which meant that this was the end of it, and he could no longer use it to play.

The most depressed thing is probably to get rid of the joy, he knows that Ma Shao is an honest official, and his family property naturally does not have much. The Khan gave himself his possessions as compensation, and the meaning is very interesting. In fact, he also knew that his words could not be studied in detail, otherwise he would not be able to justify himself, if Yangzhou City was besieged by more than 100,000 Song troops before it was conquered, then where did the Song army besieging the Yuxi Timurid army in Jiangdong come from? And his accusations against Marsho are all based on speculation, and there is no evidence. And the meaning of real gold is to shut him up and stop tossing, otherwise he will not be protected.

"Yuechi Cha'er, how is the current battle situation?" Seeing that everyone had no objection to their own handling, Zhenjin looked at Yue Chi Cha'er and asked.

"Great Khan, I just received an urgent report of 800 miles this morning, the forward of the Song army broke through Xuyi City yesterday, and Sizhou was lost at the same time!" Yue Chi Cha'er hesitated and said with a bitter face.

"What Xuyi and Sizhou are occupied by the Song army, what is going on?" Zhenjin suddenly stood up and exclaimed. He knew that the city of Xuyi was strong, even if the number of defenders was small, it was impossible to conquer it in one day, and Sizhou was broken at the same time, which was too strange.

"Great Khan, according to the messenger. When the forward of the Song army arrived at the city of Xuyi, the guards transferred troops to defend it, and signed Ding Zhuang as a soldier to help defend the city, and Sizhou also sent more than 1,000 reinforcements to help defend the city. However, the night before yesterday, there was a sudden roar in the camp, and the city was in turmoil, and the people were in a hurry to open the city gate and flee, but the Song army took the opportunity to attack the city and seize the city gate. So the soldiers and civilians in the city turned to Sizhou and fled, and the Song army followed in pursuit. Because of the suddenness of the incident, the defenders on the opposite side did not have time to destroy the pontoon bridge, and the city gate was congested by the chaotic people, so it could not be closed at all, so the Song army took advantage of the situation to break into the city, and the defenders were invincible, so they could only abandon the city and break through. Yuechi Cha'er said.

Everyone was a little stunned when they heard this, the two fortified cities were lost like this, and things were like child's play, which was unbelievable. But if you think about it, it is not surprising that the military camp has always been an authentic place of slaughter, and it is all dependent on military discipline on weekdays. Before the war, everyone was uncertain about their life and death, and they didn't know if they would be able to come back alive tomorrow, and everyone was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

At this time, as long as there is a little wind and grass, it may be just a soldier's nightmare scream, and an inadvertent action can detonate the crazy atmosphere in the camp, and the soldier completely gets rid of the shackles of military discipline and picks up weapons and kills indiscriminately. However, Xuyi City has been peaceful for a long time, and the army lacks training, and in a hurry, it has recruited untrained civilian Ding Zhuang. Under the pressure of the enemy army, the mental tension is high, and it is logical that someone collapses......
