After the war report was sent to the capital, Emperor Liang read the war report word by word in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and immediately exploded the pot in the government and the opposition. Although the princess of the Tang Dynasty died inexplicably on the wedding night, the two countries have begun to fight each other, but there has been no obvious action for two months, but unexpectedly, the Tang Dynasty broke out in the New Year's Eve, and with a scum like Liu Yi in the foreign country, not only lost two southeast towns, but also made Jiangzhou a hell on earth, the operation of a hundred years but ruined, the only remaining Jinchang City is lonely in the face of the encirclement of the Tang Dynasty, and the situation of the Liyang granary in the center of the triangle is even more critical, once Jinchang is lost, Not only the southeast granary of the Liang Dynasty was handed over, but it also meant that the southeast gateway of the Great Liang was opened, and beyond the Jinchang City was a fertile field, on which there were cities such as Anzhou, Minzhou, and Qianyang, all of which were rich territories and were the main source of national taxes of the Liang Dynasty.

"Father!" Hearing that Liu Yi's internal communication with foreign countries led to the loss of the two cities, King Ling was most worried in his heart, Liu Yi was one of his henchmen, Emperor Liang knew this, he was lucky to save his life because of the imperial examination fraud case, since he was demoted to Jiangzhou, King Ling has planned to completely give up this chess piece, but who would have thought that he would cause such a big disaster, he must stand up and prove his innocence.

"Liu Yi, as the assassin of Jiangzhou, actually let Jiangzhou be slaughtered, and he must be severely punished! In addition, only Jinchang City is left in the three towns in the southeast, although the Divine Killing Cavalry is brave and crowns the three armies, but after all, the number is limited, and self-protection is acceptable, but to repel the attacking enemy, I am afraid that it is not enough! ”

"It's obvious!" Emperor Liang felt that King Ling had said a lot of nonsense, and said to the courtiers very dissatisfied: "The Tang Dynasty actually slaughtered the city, so openly provoked my Great Liang, if I can't return the color, let me deal with myself in front of the countries!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has long coveted our frontier, and this time using the death of the princess as a pretext to provoke a war to invade our country's borders, and even do the evil act of slaughtering the city, we must face it head-on! For today's plan, Shen Yongnian should be ordered to mobilize troops to increase the defense of Anzhou, and use Jinchang City as horns to protect my southeast gateway! Cai Quan admonished.

"Father, what Cai Xiang said is extremely true!" King Xiang's firm main battle, "However, the Chiwei Army has experienced the battle of destroying Hu, and its vitality has not yet recovered, and the Guangyuan Army must not move without permission, and please prepare for the fourth brother, after all, the Xuanjia Army is the strongest army in my Daliang at present, and it will definitely be able to give Xia Tang a head-on attack!" ”

"What King Xiang said is reasonable. Immediately issued an edict, ordering King Yu to be the general of the expedition, and Shen Yongnian to be the deputy general of the expedition, stationed in Anzhou, and regain the lost territory! The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs will make every effort to do a good job in the supply of military supplies, and those who delay the military situation will not be forgiven! ”

"Father! Erchen asked to be in charge of the military escort, this time the country hated the family, Erchen as a prince has an unshirkable responsibility, and going to the battlefield in person will be able to boost morale, so that the soldiers can bravely kill the enemy and serve the country! I hope my father will allow it! King Xiang's righteous and awe-inspiring momentum made Emperor Liang very pleased, and Emperor Liang immediately approved his invitation.

After the meeting, the most important war in the past ten years was fought in the Liang Dynasty, and the whole country entered a state of alert, and the Liang Dynasty began to operate efficiently as a war machine: grain, grass, ordnance, horses, and armor were continuously transported to the southeast, and the Chiwei Army rushed to Anzhou overnight, and the Xuanjia Army immediately transferred manpower from the whole army to form an army to reinforce the Chiwei Army.

This is the eighth day of the 31st year of the Liang calendar, and the New Year has just passed eight days, and the people have to interrupt the celebration of the New Year in advance, and shift their focus from visiting relatives and friends to the war between the two countries.

Although the civil and military officials hated the Tang Dynasty and disturbed their annual vacation, they had to return to their positions immediately and do their best to fulfill their responsibilities for this war, among which Mu Jin was the most worried, he had to deal with official business in Dali Temple every day, and at the same time used all his connections and resources to inquire about the situation in Hanzhou, he did not hear the death of his son in the military intelligence report, he still held on to hope, hoping that Mu Qingyuan was only captured. Tortured by all kinds of trivial matters and worries in the yamen, and when he returned to the mansion, he wanted to comfort Mrs. Mu, who washed her face with tears, and Mu Jin lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

Master Shiraishi also received the battle report, so he summoned all six sons to Shangdetang.

"Let's take a look at the battle situation in the southeast first!" Shiraishi handed the battle report to the six people, and soon everyone basically grasped the situation in the southeast.

"Xia Tang's surprise attack this time was really unexpected, although it is not clear for the time being how they broke through Hanzhou City, but this time node is really a high move." This time, it was not Ye Kai, who had a broken mouth, who spoke first, but Chu Guo.

"And in just three days, he conquered two cities in a row, and even slaughtered Jiangzhou City, saying that Liu Yi had an affair with foreign countries, but I always felt that there was a problem with this." Shen Ming said, Ye Kai took over the conversation, "What's the problem, Liu Yi is narrow-minded, towards Qin and Duchu, he was originally a servant of the Ministry but was relegated to Jiangzhou to do the assassination history, he was indignant in his heart, and the Tang Dynasty promised him heavy benefits, and it made sense for him to lead troops into the city!" ”

"Many people in the court know that Liu Yi is a person of His Royal Highness the King of Ling, if it wasn't for the King of Ling's intercession, he would not have escaped the end of being beheaded, and now doing so is simply revenge and his own way back, he will never return in this life, but his family can all be in the capital!" Helian Ping also felt that there was something strange inside.

"It's not impossible for such villains to abandon their families and children for personal glory!" Chu Hanqian condemned: "As an official of the imperial court, I don't have my family and country in my heart at all, if I see a certain blade!" ”

"Hey, don't let him get your hands dirty," Ye Kai looked at Chu Hanqian, "Leave this kind of thing to me." ”

"The master called us, but he plans to let us go to the southeast?" Yin Li asked first.

The master had not interrupted the conversation of several people before, and after listening quietly, he finally waited for someone to ask, and stroked his white beard unhurriedly, "The old man can be regarded as waiting for the talk."

"Master, look at what you said, you have always taught us a lesson!" Ye Kai said that his body was still honestly straight.

"The old man called you here because my Great Liang has encountered the most critical moment in decades, and as a disciple of Qingshan Academy, it is time for you to go out of the mountain to serve the country. There is news from the palace that His Majesty has asked the Chiwei Army and the Xuanjia Army to work together to defend Anzhou, and the old man needs your assistance from the side. ”

"Master, just give orders!"

"Shen Ming, Helian Ping, Yin Li, the three of you will leave for Anzhou immediately; Ye Kai, Chu Hanqian, the two of you go to Shuoyang City; Chu Guo stayed in the academy and had full authority to deal with everything. ”

"Master, why do you want us to go to Shuoyang, these are completely two directions?" Ye Kai was a little confused, while Chu Hanqian was dissatisfied with the master's arrangement, "Master, why are we two together?" ”

"The end of the war is clearly in the southeast, but the old man always feels a little uneasy, if Xiliang takes this opportunity to cause trouble, then we will be attacked by the enemy." The master patiently explained, "As for sending you two, it's all because of your tacit understanding. ”
