Yingdu.

The persistent rainy weather still did not improve, and the dark clouds in the sky still obscured the sun.

The bustling metropolis of Yingdu has not been depressed by the continuous rainy weather, but has become more energetic than ever.

Some merchants pushed carts and sold their belongings in the streets, and from time to time city guard soldiers patrolled the streets with weapons.

In the palace, however, there was no such dynamism, but an oppressive atmosphere.

"King, Fang Cheng is in a hurry." An attendant rushed to Xiong Huai in a hurry and handed Xiong Huai an urgent report that still had residual warmth in his hand.

Xiong Huai took the urgent report, only to see that there were only a few numbers on it - Zhao Sui Ben Lu's family, Qin broke the northern line, and the northern border was in danger.

"It's still too late." Xiong Huai crumpled the emergency report of the cloth into a ball, although he was prepared for the worst, when he received the news of the danger in the north. I still chuckled in my heart.

"King, do you want to ......?" The waiter stopped talking, and his eyes moved outside the palace.

"Tell the ministers to go to court." Xiong Huai gently put the emergency report in his hand on the king's case, stood up and walked towards the harem.

In the main hall, there was already a mess of porridge. At this time, when the ministers were summoned to discuss the matter, anyone with a little brain could guess that eighty percent of the battle situation on the front line had deteriorated.

"Tingwei, this time the king summoned his ministers to discuss matters, do you know what the specific matter is?" Huang Jun, who was on the side, leaned next to Shen Yinfu, the court captain, and asked in a low voice.

Shen Yinfu glanced back at Huang Jun and said, "Are you knowingly asking?" It's all this time, what else can happen? Eighty percent of it was an accident in Fangcheng in the north. ”

"What's wrong? Is there any news from Tingwei? Changshi Shen Yanzi also came over.

Actually, they all knew something was wrong, but now they just wanted to know if something good or something bad was wrong.

Shen Yinfu shook his head and said, "How do I know this?" I'm just a court lieutenant, but it shouldn't be a good thing, today I saw the Praetorian Guard's report on the street, and I was very fast, and I didn't speak. ”

"Alas, it's hard for the king." Si Nong sighed heavily, participated in the conversation, and said, "Huaishui is staring at the Qi State and Yue Kingdom, Zhuang Ji's 100,000 people can't move, and the barbarians in Lingnan are violating the border every day. ”

"Alas, this has just come out of the Circle, and here it is again......... Da Chu has a lot of fate. Shen Yanzi also sighed.

"Such a big thing in the north, I'm afraid this is Zhao Sui this time," Xia Qing Feng Shuo said slowly.

On the other side, the content of the discussion is very different from what Shen Yinfu and the others discussed, they discussed who will lose power in this court, and who will gain power......

"Heh, I'm afraid that one will also ........." Another subordinate nodded towards the north, indicating Zhaoyang, who had just been sent out by Xiong Huai.

"As far as I know, the north is a dead end now, the king must know this, then send that one to guard Wancheng, hehe, anyone with a discerning eye can see it."

"When the time comes, we ..............."

"The king has arrived!" The male duck of the chamberlain interrupted the discussion of the ministers below.

"I'm King Wannian!" The ministers below saluted Xiong Huai in unison.

Xiong Huai habitually raised his hand to signal the ministers below not to salute, and the ministers below sat cross-legged in their positions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the widow will not sell the guanzi." Xiong Huai scanned each of the ministers below with a sharp gaze.

"The predicament of the north has reached a critical point of survival!"

"Ah, this ........."

"Why is the North in danger?"

“…………”

Although there was news early, they still had to pretend to be surprised when they heard Xiong Huai say the news, otherwise if you already know it, doesn't it mean that you are more informed than Xiong Huai? You know that the king doesn't know the secret report, isn't this the act of a powerful minister? Isn't this just looking for death?

Xiong Huai hammered the Wang case heavily, and the tea on the shocked Wang case splashed out, and said: "Don't pretend, the widow knows that you have already guessed this matter, and now the widow needs you to give your opinion instead of pretending here!" ”

Xiong Huai's words shocked the ministers below and didn't dare to move, now Xiong Huai is like this, if anyone dares to find it at this time, the sword in the hand of the Su guard next to him is not for fun.

"The king, the minister proposes to transfer troops from Huaisi, Chencheng and other places to Wancheng to fully support Wancheng!" Xunyang Ling put forward his own proposal.

"No," Xiong Huai directly vetoed Xunyang Ling's opinion without thinking about it, "The land of Huaisi is my great Chu land, bordering Qi State in the north and Yue Country in the south, and it is a place of attack, and the garrison of 100,000 troops is still insufficient, and it is overstretched, how can you tear down the east wall and make up the west wall?" ”

"The king, the minister suggested that the soldiers should be recruited and transferred to Wancheng." Yan Lingling made a suggestion that there was no use for fart.

Why isn't there a fart? Why can you raise an army of more than 100,000 now? Now that the war situation in the north is burning eyebrows, it takes you a few months to pull up a troop, and when you have an army to support, he shows that the grass on the grave is several meters high.

"No, is there any?"

"The king, the minister thinks that you can give up, Wuguan, the land of Fangcheng, and go all out to defend Wancheng and protect the important land of my Great Chu!"

Good guy, this one directly gave up the land of Wuguan Fangcheng, and gave up several barriers of Chu State to Qin State to defend Wancheng......

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!!"

"The minister seconded the !!"

What's particularly annoying is that there are still many people seconding this suggestion.

Xiong Huai: "I ******"

"The king, the minister suggested ........."

"The king, the minister suggested ............"

……………

After discussing for another half an hour, none of the answers could satisfy Xiong Huai, no, it was quite high to make Xiong Huai satisfied, and none of the suggestions they put forward were normal.

"King! Now the situation of Wancheng Wuguan Fangcheng will be a dead end, even if we transfer troops from all over the country now, it is too late, so the minister suggested that the king should be prepared for the loss of Wancheng, train elite troops in Yingdu, transfer to Wancheng, if Wancheng is lost, then build a defense line on the spot to avoid the Qin army from attacking the hinterland of our Chu State, if Wancheng is not lost for several months, then our army can solve the difficulty of Wancheng. ”

"At the same time," Jingyang paused, and said, "Authorize the garrisons of Xiangbang and Wancheng to recruit troops on the spot, and raise a large army before Qin attacks Wancheng in an attempt to hold on!" ”

"I'm afraid it's too late." Fan Huan on the side glanced at Jingyang and said, "Qin Yu has already attacked the northern defense line, but I am afraid that the messenger of our army has just arrived in Wancheng, and Wancheng has already fought with the Qin army." ”

"No," Jingyang said, "Zhu Lijian will not attack Wancheng immediately, he understands that Wancheng is located in the hinterland and is prominent, if he goes deep into the hinterland alone, then what will he eat and drink for 100,000 people?" He would surely open a safe route to feed his 100,000 men. In this way, it will definitely not be done in ten days. ”

Xiong Huai looked at Jingyang thoughtfully............
