"Your Majesty, you can't stop it, you can't stop it ahead, the rebels are about to come to the city!"

The lieutenant in charge of the garrison ran in a panic and reported in a panic.

"What!"

Hu Hai's eyes widened in surprise, he jumped up suddenly, stretched out his hand and pointed at the lieutenant commander opposite and scolded angrily:

"Didn't you say that the Jingshi garrison is all elite with one enemy and one hundred, and anyone who dares to approach Xianyang will never return? You, you, you used to be a deceit! ”

"Minister, minister......."

The lieutenant stammered and opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain it for a long time.

A group of men and horses defending against the rebel cavalry in front of them collapsed immediately after only one volley of enemy fire, and even the captain of the leading army was hit by two arrows and was being treated, how could he fight!

Although there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he has to defend the Xianyang Quartet, and he can only garrison one in each direction, otherwise he will rashly transfer troops and reinforcements.

Otherwise, it is very likely that the enemy will fall for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!

If three thousand cavalry can appear in the front, it is not impossible for the cavalry in ambush to appear in the other three directions!

What was even more terrifying was standing on the city wall and witnessing the horrific scene of the rebels firing a salvo with a light crossbow at a distance of 300 paces.

If the defenders don't want to be beaten, they can only rush forward, and can only wait until they are within a hundred paces before counterattacking with bows and arrows.

However, with the movement speed of the infantry and the terrifying firing speed of the opponent's crossbows, it is estimated that there will not be a few people left within a hundred paces.

What's more, it's still cavalry on the other side!

The infantry took the initiative to attack the cavalry, isn't that looking for death!

But he couldn't explain these words!

The top only looks at the result, and the defeat in the battle is the responsibility of the commander's improper command of the troops!

A thin cold sweat oozed from the lieutenant's forehead, and his heart kept sinking, knowing in his heart that he was going to be held accountable.

Hanging his head, he secretly turned to the side and cast a look for help.

Zhao Gao sensed the gaze for help, and his face changed.

As the lieutenant, guard lieutenant, and lieutenant Lang who controlled the defense of the Beijing Division, they were naturally replaced by henchmen who served him.

Even if it is a eunuch, the importance of holding the military power firmly in his hands.

Otherwise, how can you control the Jingshi, and how can you deter the hundred officials!

Therefore, after finding a reason casually, he planned to replace the three important positions in charge of the defense of the Beijing Division with his own people.

Now that his own people have made mistakes, the emperor is furious, and whether he will be involved or not, he must be helped to get rid of his crimes.

After pondering for a moment, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the defeat is not to blame the lieutenant commander, it is really an accident!" ”

Li Si raised his eyebrows, as an old bureaucrat, how could he let go of the opportunity to strike at the enemy.

Although the enemy army has already approached the city, but the Xianyang city wall is high, and there are elite soldiers to guard it, it is not easy to attack it!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he said sarcastically: "Accident, is it possible that His Majesty is blaming His Majesty for not distributing grain and grass to the Jingshi garrison, and he is hungry and has no strength to fight?" ”

"Shhh The lieutenant hung his head, and his heart and liver trembled.

Panicked speculation, the prime minister is hinting at his greed for ink and grass!

Although the lieutenant is one of the Jiuqing, and his subordinates are also in charge of the arsenal and weapons manufacturing, since he hugged Zhao Gao's thigh, the flattering expenses have also consumed as much as running water.

Just to compete for the position of lieutenant, he almost exhausted his family wealth before he dredged Zhao Gao's relationship and got it.

Who would have thought that he had only been a lieutenant for a month, and before he had even recovered the money consumed by dredging and taking care of it, the rebels of Shangjun would come to the city, how sad it was!

Although military rations and ordnance are deducted in normal times, it is nothing with Lord Zhao on it, and now it is possible to expose it in front of the emperor, that is, the rhythm of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!

Hu Hai's eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "Say, why can't five thousand elites defeat three thousand cavalry, why!" ”

"Amount"

The lieutenant was sweating coldly on his forehead, and he no longer knew how to answer the question.

Even Li Si was stunned.

I didn't expect the emperor to be so cooperative and ask such a shoddy question.

Zhao Gao's face was gloomy, and he couldn't wait to drag Li Si, who took the opportunity to fall into the well, out and cut him in half!

But in the face of the emperor's anger, it is still necessary to explain first.

Otherwise, if you don't get it right, you'll have to set yourself on fire!

With a roll of his eyes, he had a plan in his heart.

He bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is angry, in fact, I really can't blame the lieutenant for the defeat and defeat this time." ”

Hu Hai was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Oh? Why? ”

Zhao Gao said with a smile: "The lieutenant led the troops in the north of Xianyang, and he is used to training in the school field with flat land on weekdays. Now he was suddenly transferred to the outside of Xianyang City to resist, it is estimated that the grass is uneven, and the water and soil are not adapted to the new environment, so it led to the defeat of the war! ”

A mocking smile was drawn on the corner of Li Si's mouth, and he used such a clumsy excuse to shirk it, is it really a fool for His Majesty?

Li Si narrowed his eyes, waited for His Majesty to be angry with a smile on his face, and then took the opportunity to fall into the well to snatch back the right to speak in the court!

The lieutenant's body trembled, he looked at the backer in shock, and secretly complained in his heart: "My Lord Zhao, why did you find such an absurd and uninhibited excuse, not to mention Your Majesty, even a three-year-old child will not believe it!" ”

The cantonment school is only five miles away from the battlefield in front, how can it be related to the unsuitability of water and soil?

Hu Hai stood above, leaning over, still maintaining a posture of raising his hand and scolding.

Blinked, stunned.

It took a long time to come back to his senses, and he looked like he suddenly realized.

Said seriously: "What the teacher said is right! You really can't blame him for this! ”

duang！

Li Si's brain shook, only to feel that his ears were buzzing, and his brain seemed to be unable to think.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he said to himself in surprise:

"Emperor, I really believe it!"

……

For a moment, Manchu Wenwu's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

Even the lieutenant blinked in a daze, wondering if he had misheard.

The emperor actually said that he could not be blamed for the defeat!

Who is to blame, the grass is uneven, and the water and soil are not adaptable?

Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes and sneered gloomily: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty has made a conclusion, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Li Si looked at the emperor above in a daze, as if there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping wildly in his heart.

I regret it more and more, why did I listen to Zhao Gao's words and elect such a stupid pig as the emperor in the first place!

Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart, and he arched his hand and said weakly: "If there is still a resignation in the minister's family, please also ask Your Majesty to order 200,000 local troops to be reinforced immediately." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the Qilin Palace, leaving only an old and lonely back.

Fortunately, Fusu didn't hear the discussion in the court, otherwise he would have suddenly realized.

"Oh, it turns out that there are cases of strange grass unevenness, and there are glorious traditions!"
