However, Peng Daya's words won the hearts of everyone in the hall, although many people were inconvenient to agree, they were all nodding, and there was a lot of discussion and buzz between the seats.

Peng Daya turned around and arched his hand towards Chen Longzhi and said: "The words of the lower officials are all from the public heart, and what they do is nothing more than how to stick to Shuzhong and avoid the further deterioration of the situation. ”

After saying that, Shi Ran sat down, raised his chest and raised his head.

Chen Longzhi's face was a little unsightly.

His original intention was to drive the Mongols out of Sichuan as soon as possible, rebuild a solid defense line like the Four Great Rongsi, and keep the enemy out of the country. What Peng Daya said was contrary to his meaning.

So Chen Longzhi frowned and said in a deep voice: "What Master Peng said is safe, but can you keep it if you defend the east of Sichuan?" Compared with western Sichuan, the terrain is much more gentle, and we can't even keep western Sichuan? How to ensure that you can hold the east of Sichuan? ”

Peng Daya also looked ashamed and a little embarrassed: "This is all the incompetence of the lower officials, and the extremely dangerous place in western Sichuan has been lost, so that it is in such an embarrassment as it is now." However, the lower officials are worried, although the east of Sichuan is not as dangerous as the west of Sichuan, but the same mountains are heavy and high, the advantages of the cavalry gallop can not be displayed, and there are waterways to facilitate the transportation of troops, and the Yangtze River is even more isolated from the north and the south, as long as we are willing to work hard and be willing to work hard, we will definitely be able to stand on our feet and resist the momentum of the northern captives continuing to wreak havoc. ”

He turned his face to one end and said: "As long as it takes a year and a half, the Mongols are guests from the north, and after they can't advance an inch, they will eventually retreat. ”

"Safe? Master Peng, this is afraid of war, right? Chen Longzhi ignored the expressions of the people below who were obviously biased towards Peng Daya, and said angrily: "We wait for the matter of eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king, if we use such an unenterprising method to be self-contained, how will those imperial histories in the court impeach us?" What do the rulers and officials who sent us think of us? How do we deal with the people who have been killed by the Northern captives and their families and wives have been separated? It's not feasible! Never possible! ”

"My lord! I, Peng Daya, fought in the lonely city of Meizhou for half a month, and I didn't take half a step back until the last soldier! Say I'm afraid of war? Let's first ask the generals of all walks of life in Sichuan, and ask them, when did I, Peng, fear war? Peng Daya was also upright, Chen Longzhi's words touched his fire switch, and he suddenly became angry, slapped the table and got up and stood up, shouting.

Chen Long's Fang Zhenshuai, how could he allow his deputy to be arrogant, and immediately slapped the table and shouted: "If you are not afraid of war, why don't you want to go north?" I said very clearly, the Beiyu has retreated to Lizhou, there is no large number of Mongolian soldiers on the Chengdu Fu Road, as long as the army advances, there is no city to recover, but you have to be trapped in eastern Sichuan, what is not the fear of war? ”

"How can it be!" Peng Daya is also a person who is willing to cut his body, and no one can stop the bull's temper, so he immediately stared at Chen Longzhi with his eyes: "Lord Chen, do you understand military affairs?" The cavalry fast horses back and forth, Lizhou to Chengdu Mansion is only two or three days of footsteps, we are all foot soldiers, from Gongzhou Mansion to Chengdu Mansion along the way around the state and county city defense has been corrupted, if the Mongols find out the news, ten thousand horses come at the tail, how to fight it then? You will kill thousands of soldiers! ”

"You're scared!"

"You're reckless!"

The two of them are like two enraged roosters, facing each other across a table with red faces and thick necks, both of them are unwilling to compromise, thinking that they are the one who grasps the truth, their rhetoric is reasonable, and the purpose is for the public, and they can't be persuaded for a while.

Yuan Jianzhi and the others were almost stunned, looking at the two of them in amazement. This is the first time that the two chief and deputy envoys of the system have quarreled in public, and I am afraid it is rare in the world. The envoy is a high-ranking official, a second-class official, no matter what the reason, like a woman who quarrels and laughs to death. Once it was passed into the ears of the imperial historians in the court, the positions of the two of them were not secure.

If it doesn't work like this, the people who reacted hurriedly couldn't take care of it anymore, hugged up, pulled the two apart, and comforted them separately, even if the two were pulled away, they also stretched out their fingers and pointed at each other and scolded each other through countless heads, and there was a great sense of not refuting the other party's vow not to give up.

There was a lot of chaos in the yamen, and in the end the matter was not discussed, and the result came out, and it was hastily concluded, Peng Daya went back to the official residence in a hurry, and the rest of the people also dispersed in a hurry, mentioning the prison to make it inconvenient for Yuan Jianzhi to leave, and accompanied Chen Longzhi to meet a few generals with troops.

"You have also seen that the reason why the chaos in Sichuan is out of control is not for no reason!" It has been an hour since the incident, and Chen Longzhi is still angry, and he said with red eyes in the back hall of the yamen: "With such people in charge of military affairs, how can you not be chaotic?" Cowering and timid, and boasting of waiting for the northern captives to retreat and retreat? If you don't beat him, will he go on his own? Unattainable, unattainable! ”

"Adults dissipate, dissipate." Yuan Jianzhi had no choice but to be a peacemaker, and smiled vigorously: "Master Peng also has concerns, so he said so." ”

"Humph! You don't have to speak for him, I will write down every word he said today, copy it to the court, right and wrong, it is up to the adults of the court to decide! Chen Longzhi exhaled a breath of turbidity in his chest, waved his hand, and said to the few wide-eyed generals who were left behind: "Don't mention this, what should we do, we don't have to wait for Peng Daya, we will do it ourselves!" ”

His words made several people's hearts tremble, and they all laughed bitterly.

These military attachés have all fought against the Mongols in the past two years, and in terms of experience, they all have it. Just now, when Peng Daya and Chen Longzhi were fighting each other in the lobby, several people had a hunch that this master would not be the master who compromised easily, and it seemed that he would not be able to run away when he went north to Chengdu Mansion.

was left by Chen Longzhi, which confirmed this premonition, and several people fidgeted like constipation, puffing out their eyes and waiting for him to follow.

Chen Longzhi looked at several generals and said: "This official has decided that in the next few days, he will move his army north, recover the prefectures and capitals along the way, appease the people, and restore the garrison." If there is an enemy army, a small group will be defeated, and a large force of invincible people will rely on the nearby city to hold on, but you can rest assured that many of the horses released have reported that there are no more than 1,000 Mongols in Sichuan, and there are some Xiangma bandits who take the opportunity to cause chaos, so there is no need to worry. ”

A few people wanted to cry without tears, Lord Xindao, you really didn't listen to Peng Daya's words, didn't people say, the Mongolian soldiers counted horses, and they didn't run on two legs like us, the horses ran galloping, once they met in the plains of Chengdu Prefecture, everyone was still alive?

But think about it, this adult can't even listen to Peng Daya's opinion, is it useful for our brothers to oppose it? He didn't dare to kill Peng Daya, because Peng Daya was a civil official or a deputy envoy. But dare to kill us, Wenchen leads the troops, and the military general is a fart, and he will kill without blinking.

So everyone looked at Yuan Jianzhi, who was speechless, and had to clasp their fists together and make a heroic appearance: "The last general will be sent by the adult alone, and there is no other word!" ”

Chen Longzhi was very satisfied, he heard these words the most pleasant thing from the morning to the present today, so he laughed, brought tea and said to everyone: "Come on, come on, take a sip of tea, haven't you eaten breakfast?" Wait for lunch with me. ”

Everyone thanked each other again and ate a cup of tea.

After tea, Chen Longzhi asked again: "All the generals are the people who lead the troops in Sichuan, and how many of them can fight, tell me about them." ”
