"Your Majesty, this matter is true, Hu Zhen, the general of the Zhu Wen army, took advantage of the heavy rain to secretly climb the city wall and open the city gate, General Li Cunxin died in battle for the first time, and the defenders in the city were defeated and retreated by the Zhu Wen army, and it didn't take long for Jizhou City to fall completely." Zhang Ji nodded and said with a solemn face.

"Then Aiqing thinks, what should we do now?" Zhao Fan pinched his somewhat swollen forehead and said helplessly.

The sudden loss of Jizhou City was indeed somewhat beyond Zhao Fan's expectations, without Jizhou City as a guide, the connection between Zhao Fan and Li Keyong was completely cut off, not only that, but Zhu Wenjun could unscrupulously send troops to attack Zhao Fan's rear and disrupt the logistics and transportation of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

"Now, we only have three choices, first, retreat to our own territory, build a defensive line, and strictly prevent the war from burning to our own territory, but in this way, Lord Li is difficult to support alone, and will definitely not be able to stop the attack of Zhu Wen and the Khitans, and after Lord Li is defeated, their next target must be us, but in this way, they have become a general trend, and it is difficult for us to resist their attack."

"The second word is to speed up, quickly break through Xuzhou City, and immediately send troops back to help, in case the back road is cut off, if the supply is cut off, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to last."

"Third, that is to encircle the point to send reinforcements, let's surround Xuzhou City, and then set up an ambush on the road, and find a way to eliminate the reinforcements from Jizhou City, but this may not be possible, after all, we are huge, the enemy may not dare to come to the rescue, and it is more likely that we will send people to cut off our retreat, trap us here, and then turn back and clean us up after Li Keyong is eliminated."

Zhao Fan nodded, what Zhang Ji said was basically the same as what he thought in his heart, but he didn't think so carefully.

"Then Aiqing thinks, what should we do?"

"The minister thinks that we should quickly break through Xuzhou City, and then take the opportunity to threaten Zhu Wen's rear, force Zhu Wen to lead troops back to help, and minimize the pressure on Lord Li. Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"What Aiqing said is exactly what I want." Zhao Fan nodded approvingly and said softly.

"In that case, let the generals come to me at once."

"Yes." Zhang Ji nodded, and then walked out of the tent.

After a while, the generals of the Heavenly Mandate Army hurried to the camp tent, waiting for Zhao Fan to speak, the senior generals of the Heavenly Mandate Army, Fu Qinghe, who stayed in Chang'an, and everyone else was here, even Zhao Kuangning, the Taishou of Jingzhou, also rushed over.

"Generals, I have asked you to come because I have something to discuss with you." Zhao Fan saw that everyone had arrived, and slowly stood up and said.

"Jizhou City has been lost, and now our situation is very bad, and the enemy may cut off our retreat and cut off our supply lines at any time."

"What, Jizhou City is lost?" The generals looked at each other in disbelief, and they all didn't understand why Jizhou City was suddenly lost.

"What is this Li Cunxin eating, it's only been a few days, and Jizhou City has actually been lost?" Ma Jianying patted his thigh and said with some puzzlement.

"Yes, this Jizhou City is not a small city, there are many materials in the city, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed, and there is a moat around, no matter what, it is impossible to lose it so quickly, such conditions, even if it is besieged by several times the enemy army, it can hold on for a year and a half." Zhao Wei nodded and muttered to himself.

"Generals, don't think about it, the loss of Jizhou City is true, how he lost it, it doesn't matter now, what should we do now." Zhang Ji stood up and interrupted the discussion. Said slowly.

"Your Majesty, you say, what do you say, what do we do." Scar nodded and said thoughtfully.

"The loss of Jizhou City has a very huge impact on us, and we don't have many materials to carry this time, and we can't afford to spend it." Zhao Fan glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice.

"But if we retreat at this time, we will not only be ridiculed by the world, but also completely expose General Li Keyong's back to the enemy. At that time, Zhu Wenjun and those damned Khitan barbarians will be flanked back and forth, and General Li will definitely be defeated. ”

"Here, we will not only bear the notoriety of treachery and escape, but also completely fall into a disadvantage, and when Zhu Wen stabilizes his position, we can only be slaughtered by others, and we have no power to fight back."

As soon as Zhao Fan's words came out, the generals instantly understood what the loss of Jizhou City meant to them, and what would be the useful consequences if they chose to escape at this time.

"Your Majesty, the last general understands, it seems that we have no way to retreat, Your Majesty, just say it, how should we fight this battle, our soldiers in the army brigade, go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, and definitely not frown." Ma Jianying stood up in an uproar and yelled with a serious face.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can give an order, when have the soldiers of our Heavenly Mandate Army been afraid of fighting, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, we will definitely complete the task." Zhao Wei nodded and said approvingly.

"Your Majesty's sword is what I mean!" Scar tapped the armor on his chest and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Kuangning did not speak, but his eyes when he looked at Zhao Fan were full of determination and determination.

"My idea is that we will attack with all our might, take Shaanzhou City in the shortest possible time, and then go straight to Zhu Wen's old cave, if we get the supplies in Xuzhou City, we don't have to worry about the supply line being cut off by the enemy." Zhao Fan nodded and said softly.

"What Your Majesty said is that as long as we take Xuzhou City, the materials in the city are enough for our 300,000 troops, which will last for a year and a half." Zhang Ji nodded and cooperated with the analysis.

"This time, we have to get serious, we must take Xuzhou City as soon as possible, get the materials in the city, and then find a way to cooperate with General Li to regain the opportunity on the battlefield." Zhao Fan stood up and shouted passionately.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to say this to us, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, isn't it a small Xuzhou City? Let's knock it down. Ma Jianying patted his chest and said with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, you just give the order, and the general will definitely complete the task!"

"Your Majesty, give the order!"
