Pan Lin's eyes turned black, he staggered two steps under his feet, and almost fainted on the spot: "How come, how can this be, there are 60,000 forbidden troops in the Tiger Prison, and it is only half a day's work, how can it be breached, how can it be possible!?" ”

"What about Zhao Guanying, what about Zhao Guanying!?" Pan Lin dragged the soldier and roared, and his mentality collapsed.

The soldier hurriedly responded: "General Zhao is leading the remnants to retreat to Longmen Pass, please send troops to help quickly!" ”

"It's over, Zhao Guanying, a fool, now withdraw to Longmen Pass, King Yu will definitely take advantage of the situation and drive straight in, the imperial capital is in danger, and the palace is in danger!" Pan Lin was about to cry, the situation that had just been established, he didn't even sit down on his ass, was this about to end?

No, you can't sit back here!

Pan Lin grabbed the soldier and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, go and intercept the herald back for me, and let Pei Yuanli and Xu Shaoyang not go to Longmen Pass......"

"General, don't be impatient!" Murong Chengji saw that Pan Lin was completely confused, and hurriedly stood up and comforted: "Longmen Pass is the last barrier in the imperial capital, without further ado, Longmen Pass must be held, and General Pei and General Xu must not be intercepted, otherwise this time it will definitely be doomed." ”

"But they only have 40,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, and it won't help to rush over now!" Pan Lin also wanted to retain his strength, and give up the palace to have a chance to go out and stand on his own.

Murong Chengji shook his head and said, "I understand the general's intentions, but if you lose the imperial capital, where else can the general go?" To the south, there is Pyongju Gwangju, and those two assassins have written to impeach and reprimand the general many times, how can they take them in? To the west is Quanzhou Tongzhou, Sun Weiyang is a member of the royal family, Wu Yutang has a close relationship with Fangshi Liu Yu, how can they tolerate you? ”

"This ......" Pan Lin was stunned, and when he calmed down, he found that the world was so big that he couldn't even find a place to stay.

Murong Chengji sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, and the general can only make a last stand." ”

"Chengji must have a way, hurry up, Chengji teach me!" Pan Lin seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, dragging Murong Chengji with a pleading face.

Murong Chengji frowned, broke free of Pan Lin's hands, straightened his clothes and said, "The sky has not fallen yet, the general is the master of the people, if he doesn't have this bearing, how can he appease his soldiers?" ”

Pan Lin's face looked quite ugly, his eyebrows were burned, and he still had the kung fu to tell Lao Tzu about his temperament?

The rude words were just about to blurt out, but because of his own fate, Pan Lin had to grit his teeth and endure it: "It's the old man's gaffe, but the situation is urgent, don't hide it if Chengji has any good way." ”

"It's actually very simple!" Murong Chengji said: "Send someone to send an order to General Pei, order General Pei to lead his troops to meet General Zhao, and take advantage of the situation to collect the remnants of Hujiao Pass, General Xu will take this opportunity to deploy the defense of Longmen Pass, presumably General Pei will respond, the rebels do not dare to go deep alone for the time being, and when they react, the city defense of Longmen Pass has already been deployed." ”

"That being said, it's true, but this can only solve the temporary dilemma, and what if the rebels will come back later?" Pan Lin was not very relieved, thinking that the Tiger Prison Pass was lost so quickly, and the original 60,000 forbidden troops must have lost most of it.

The defense of Longmen Pass is far less strong than that of Tiger Prison Pass, and the strength is still so limited, can it withstand the menacing rebels?

Murong Chengji said disapprovingly: "Hard blocking is definitely not good, even if you can defeat the king of Wei, the general is bound to suffer heavy losses, if you want to reverse the current predicament, I think that the only thing the general can do is to seek external help." ”

"External forces?" Pan Lin was a little confused, this was to let him find the help of the princes of the world?

But Murong Chengji has just analyzed, the princes from all walks of life are now eager for him to die, who will be willing to send troops to help?

"Chengji, don't sell it, if there is any way, say it quickly!" Pan Lin really wanted to use a knife to poke Murong Chengji's two holes first, but when was it too late, he was still grinding with him here.

"The Great General can join forces with the Southern Barbarian King."

Murong Chengji sneered with a gloomy face: "The land of southern Xinjiang is all barbarians, and they are in urgent need of iron ore, salt, cloth and other materials. ”

"Now seeing the civil strife in Dayan, the Nanban King has a hidden intention of waving troops into the country, if the general takes the initiative to cooperate at this time, the Nanban King will definitely respond positively."

"With the iron cavalry of the southern barbarian king, it is not a problem to solve the scourge of the king of the king, the only trouble is that it is easy to ask the gods to send the gods, and after repelling the king of the king, the general may need to pay a lot of money to send him back to the southern frontier."

After listening carefully to what Murong Chengji said, Pan Lin's brows on his face became tighter and tighter, feeling a bit like luring the wolf into the room.

Of course, Murong Chengji knew the consequences of doing this, but was there any other way?

Glaring at Pan Lin, Murong Chengji said unhurriedly: "If the general has other better ways, he can say nothing as he is, but if the general has no other way, he will say one more thing, the territory of Southern Xinjiang is vast, even if the Southern Barbarian King is really willing to join forces to send troops, he must first contact the major tribes, plus the march on the road, I expect that it will be at least half a month before they can come to the aid smoothly, as far as the current situation of Longmen Pass is concerned, it is not so easy for the general to hold on for half a month." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, without further ado, the old man will send someone to contact the Southern Barbarian King!" When Pan Lin thought of the urgency of time, he immediately didn't care about the price.

After all, once King Yu enters the imperial capital, he will definitely wipe out his nine clans, and the Southern Barbarian King is not a person from the Central Plains, as long as he meets some conditions of the other party, he can turn the overall situation around, what is he reluctant to do?

Leaving behind a mess of the mourning hall is a matter of life and death, Pan Lin didn't care about continuing to hold the Son of Heaven accountable, turned around and ordered: "Send Your Majesty back to the palace first, send someone to redeploy the mourning platform as soon as possible, and send the first emperor out of the funeral and burial on a certain day." ”

Seeing the general go away, Sun Miao, the young man who was almost held accountable, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Murong Chengji next to him looked at Sun Miao with interest, as if he had found a piece of jade, and a shining color appeared in his eyes.

Sun Miao seemed to feel something, and cautiously glanced at Murong Chengji, curling his neck as if he was being slaughtered, until a group of palace eunuchs arrived and left the mourning hall with him on his back, he boldly glanced back at Murong Chengji.

"Compared to the other princes, this one is a bit interesting." Murong Chengji grinned, and then walked over to Qianqi, who was pressed to the ground by Jin Wuwei.

This person followed a group of assassins to assassinate the general, who looked like a few princes, in fact, it was not difficult to see from the chaotic situation just now that this Qian Qizheng was actually Sun Miao's person, and when he clashed with Xu Shaoyang, he even wanted to rush over and rob people and escape several times.

Murong Chengji saw all this in his eyes, and when he walked over, he waved his hand to Jin Wuwei to retreat: "Spear Dao Grandmaster, I didn't expect you to come and wade into this muddy water, since you are Your Majesty's person, then continue to fulfill your responsibility to protect Your Majesty, you can go." ”

Qianqi was looking up at Murong Chengji, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why do you want to help again?" ”

"Just leave yourself a way out." Murong Chengji waved his hand, with an indifferent expression, and he didn't bother to explain anything to Qianqizheng, because this favor was sold to that young man Sun Miao.

Qianqi was watching Murong Chengji leave, in the assassination operation just now, he actually had a chance to kill Pan Lin, but because of Murong Chengji, he missed the opportunity to kill with one blow.

Moreover, Murong Chengji is very cunning, in order to curb him from continuing to attack Pan Lin, he also firmly controls His Majesty in his hands.

is such a person, who obviously works for Pan Lin but turns around to save his life.

"Nanyin's faction is vicious and vicious, and it has never ended well, Murong Chengji has begun to leave a way back for himself, could it be that the dog thief Pan Lin is gone?" Qian Qizheng had a serious face, he was just a guard, he didn't understand the general trend of the world, let alone what would happen next, but he was not stupid, and from Murong Chengji's attitude, it was not difficult to guess some information.

Your Majesty must be informed of this judgment as soon as possible!

Qianqizheng took a deep breath, covered the wound on his chest, and hurriedly left the mourning hall......
