Chapter 258: The Imperial Court Fight of Words!
"Fix the pass with all your might, and defend without fail. ”
This was General Ling's final and supreme instruction on his parting days.
Defensive, not offensive.
"A few of you, seize this last time to bring your cultivation one step closer. ”
This is what Ling Xiao said to Ma Lingshan and Mo Cong.
If you want to leave the court this time, you must take all the people loyal to him with you!
I heard that Ling Xiao was leaving, even Zilan and Ouyang Ning'er didn't know where Ling Xiao was going?
General Ling's sudden withdrawal of troops almost as a joke under the good situation can be said to have caused an uproar, and the news came out, and the world shook again!
I just heard the legend of General Ling defeating the strong with the weak and defeating Tiemu, but then I heard about General Ling's deeds of not wanting the country for the sake of beauty.
Suddenly, the people of the entire Hongwu Continent all boiled and laughed.
"It's awesome, it's awesome!"
"That's the general of Canglong Kingdom, General Ling is really awesome, he doesn't want Jiangshan for the sake of beauty!"
"What's more, this is simply not even my own life. ”
"That's right. ”
"This is a great crime equivalent to rebellion, I really don't know what this Ling Xiao thinks...!"
...
But in the hearts of the girls in the entire continent, it was suddenly more serious.
"If someone is willing to do so desperate for me, what do I want in my life?"
This thought is something that almost all dreaming girls in the entire continent have been thinking about during this time.
They are all envious and jealous of the legendary Princess Xuanyang Guoxi, and they are even more sincerely hateful.
"I really want to see how beautiful Her Royal Highness Princess Xi is. was able to make General Ling make such a big sacrifice and concession for her...!"
"This General Ling is really a seed of infatuation!"
"I really want to meet this strange man in the world..."
...
What is absolutely different from the folk legend is that the ministers in the capital of Canglong Kingdom, taking advantage of this folk gossip, have a reason to attack Lingxiao, obviously because the Canglong Kingdom is not dead, and they want to provoke trouble, lest the world will not be chaotic.
One by one, they jumped up and down, impassioned.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Qixiao, Ling Xiao bullied the king, showing his disobedience!"
"Ling Xiao is cowardly in battle, delaying the fighter, and the sin is unforgivable!"
"Ling Xiao covets beauty and betrays the interests of the empire, and he deserves death!"
"Ling Xiao giving up the good situation is a crime, a heinous crime!"
"Ling Xiao is obviously bought by the Xuanyang Kingdom and has the heart of treason against the enemy, it is obvious that he will be punished quickly to prevent future troubles!"
...
And so on, reasonable and unreasonable, logical and illogical, and even so brain-dead that there are many reasons for being brain-dead, such as sweeping mountains and seas, stormy waves, and big waves sweeping sand, surging and surging, and full of energy!
In the entire court, there was a lot of commotion, and Ling Xiao once again became the finger of Qianfu at this moment.
More than hundreds of ministers, kneeling down, imploring to punish Ling Xiao, a traitor!
Some people burst into tears.
Princess Dusty Moon had a calm face, looking at the ministers kneeling below, and she didn't know what she was thinking...
In this regard, Zhuge Chengyu finally stood up, and it was also the first time for him to really make his voice heard in the court.
"It's a bunch of nonsense, you actually frame Ling Xiao with such unwarranted, unbelievable, and reversible remarks that reverses right and wrong, wouldn't it make the people of Canglong Country cold and the soldiers of Canglong Country cold!"
Zhuge Chengyu's first sentence caused public anger.
"Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, you and Ling Xiao are clearly the same raccoon dog!"
Several ministers looked at Zhuge Chengyu angrily: "I knew you would stand up, you two traitors, everyone can be punished!"
Zhuge Chengyu was not in a hurry, sneered, and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Weichen has a few words to say. ”
Princess Dusty Moon raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Speak!"
Zhuge Chengyu's face was a little sad and indignant: "At that time, the country was in crisis, and the national disaster was at the head; General Ling was hurriedly ordered to lead the general's army to rush to the aid of Hukou Pass.
At that time, there were only 20,000 remnants of the army in the whole city of Hukou Pass, and even if the most optimistic estimate was that General Ling's soldiers and horses at that time were only 20,000! As for the army of the Xuanyang Kingdom, it would not be less than 300,000 troops!"
"With a mere 20,000 troops, a city pass, trying our best to fight against the 300,000 troops of the Xuanyang Kingdom, such a dangerous battle, who can do it!
Only General Ling can do it!
General Ling tried his best and devised many tricks, and finally won a great victory and completely expelled the enemy from our territory.
Such immortal feats are vividly visible, and everyone can see them, so why is it for me to emphasize. ”
"General Ling is fighting for the country with his life!"
"What are you talking about? Say that General Ling bullied the monarch and had the heart of disobedience, I bah, when General Ling raised his army, it was the most dangerous moment for the survival of the empire, if General Ling did not send troops, the empire would have already been under the city at this time, and even the country would have been wiped out.
"Wait for General Dao Ling, cowardly in battle, delay the fighter plane? I will say again, the only one who is really cowardly in the battle and delays the fighter plane is you, if it is not for the cowardice, how can they use the general's personal soldiers?"
"There are also things such as greedy for beauty, betraying the interests of the empire, being bought by the Xuanyang State, defecting to the enemy and treason, obvious, etc., which are even more ridiculous, I will say again, when it comes to betraying the interests of the empire and being bought by the Xuanyang Kingdom, is General Ling stupid?"
"If you don't surrender to the enemy at the beginning of the army, and don't surrender to the enemy when you arrive at Hukou Pass to face the army of the Xuanyang Kingdom, you have to fight the Xuanyang Kingdom miserably before you surrender to the enemy?
Do you have no brains, or do you have tumors in your brains?
Can you have a little reliable imagination, even if you fabricate a crime, you want to come up with a few reliable charges!"
"Among the many crimes, the only one that is a little more reliable is the point of giving up the good situation, but is it really the fault of this point? At the right time, although the Xuanyang Kingdom was defeated and lost, it was a thousand miles away, but what about our side? Although General Ling won this battle, it could only be a miserable victory!"
"20,000 against the enemy's 300,000 troops, defeating the strong with the weak, and destroying more with less, this battle is already a miracle in itself! However, although our side has won, how many of our 20,000 soldiers will be left? Will the remaining manpower still have the strength to fight again?"
"Even the most optimistic estimate is that after that battle, 10,000 soldiers of the 20,000 people will still be alive, which is already a blessing to invite heaven! Even, this is just alive, and it does not say how many of the 10,000 people who are alive and how many are disabled and how many are no longer capable of fighting. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that many generals are also people who have been on the battlefield and led soldiers, so they should naturally know how huge our losses should be after such a battle. ”
"General Ling's army pursued all the way, experienced seven days and nights of rapid attacks, not only regained all the lost ground, but also broke through several passes in Xuanyang Country, and went to Xuantian City, an important town on the border of Xuanyang Country, after seven days and nights of sleeplessness, how much manpower can be left?"
