As soon as the thought moved, Yang Mu took "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" off the bookshelf, looked for it in the catalog, and flipped to "Ninety-eighth Chapter: Ma Tan refused to admonish and lost the street pavilion, and Wuhou played the piano and retired to Zhongda".

But after a good search, he found that in the original text, there was only how Zhuge Liang laid out and how to explain to Wenchen's strategists, and there were no specific lines at all.

Silence is better than sound at this time?

Yang Mu was helpless, so he had to comfort himself like this, he had a flash of inspiration, thinking that he could save himself, but he found that it was a chicken rib, and he was overjoyed.

Yang Mu sighed, since this road doesn't work, you have to watch it first, just with so many TV series I watched before, I also have a little bottom in my heart.

After tidying up his appearance, he sat up from the dragon's collapse and offered to go to the palace to have a look.

The maid Ji Ling'er and the little eunuch were very happy, breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed closely behind.

The palace is not very big, but it is quite exquisite, with red walls and yellow tiles, painted buildings and carved beams, palaces and pavilions, full of royal luxury, it is simply a miniature version of the Forbidden City.

Along the way, under Yang Mu's inquiry, Ji Ling'er told him that the entire palace was built thirty years ago, when the first emperor divided one side and established the Cangguo, it took five years to build the palace intermittently, costing nearly 300,000 taels of silver, nearly the total financial income of the Cangguo for a year.

The entire imperial palace is divided into three parts: the outer court, the inner court and the harem.

The outer dynasty is dominated by the court hall, and next to it are the yamen of various official offices, which is the place where the emperor went to the court and dealt with state affairs. The inner court is divided into Zichen Palace, Ziyu Palace, Twenty-four Yamen, and Wanshou Palace, of which Zichen Palace is the place where the emperor handles government affairs after retiring from the dynasty and approves the folds, the Ziyu Palace is the place where the palace banquet and some ceremonies are held, and the twenty-four Yamen is the place where the palace affairs are managed, and it is also the residence of a small number of eunuchs and palace laves, and the Wanshou Palace is the emperor's bedroom, and the place where Yang Mu woke up before is the Wanshou Palace.

As for the harem, it is similar to Yang Mu's impression, it is the place where the concubines live, mainly in the Fengyi Palace, supplemented by the queen's dormitory, Yuling Palace, and more than a dozen large and small palaces, all of which are where the concubines live.

To Yang Mu's surprise, he actually had a cheap old lady, the current queen mother, who lived in Yiren Palace!

In about ten minutes, Yang Mu led a group of people to the outside of the palace.

The court hall as the emperor's place of governance, naturally is the highest building in the whole palace, majestic atmosphere, majestic and magnificent, with jade lapis as the pedestal, the stone steps of the first level lead directly to the entrance of the palace, the left and right are the bronze statues of a sacred beast, simple and majestic.

"Your Majesty, you are here!"

"The old minister is brave and begs His Majesty to surrender the city for the livelihood of the people!"

"Weichen is desperate to the death, and he must also protect His Majesty from harm!"

"Run for your life!"

As soon as Yang Mu stepped into the main hall, a group of people in official uniforms knelt on the ground as if they had seen their father, snorting and crying.

Nima, this is the meteorology of the dead country?

Shouldn't we have shouted "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live" in the beginning?

Yang Mu was stunned, this is different from what he imagined, it's a group of high-level intellectuals with status, it's like a crying grave, isn't the impact not good?

"The old minister is courageous, and I implore Your Majesty to move and avoid the disaster for the time being." At this moment, a powerful voice came.

Yang Mu turned his face and saw a general in armor, about fifty years old, saluting him, the general had a sword hanging from his waist, simple and heavy, and there were blood beads dripping from the scabbard.

Yang Mu's eyes lit up, under the mourning of the dynasty, it is rare to have a person who looks calmer, if the expectation is good, this should be Wei Zhongquan in Ji Ling'er's mouth - General Wei.

About this old general, Yang Mu also heard Ji Ling'er on the road, the old general was originally a personal guard of the first emperor, was rescued by the first emperor when he was young, and has always been loyal, named Wei Zhongquan, swore not to marry a wife and have children in his life, and will always be loyal to the Dacang royal family.

In short, it is a word - loyalty can be completely trusted.

"Are you General Wei?" Ning Hao tried to ask.

"The old minister is exactly." The old general bowed, just now, Ji Ling'er had already explained the situation to him, His Majesty was frightened, and his mind was a little abnormal.

"General Wei, how many more soldiers do we have?"

"Counting the palace guards, a total of 8,000 soldiers."

"So little?" Yang Mu was taken aback and asked, "What about the enemy's siege troops?" ”

"The enemy who came this time was Zheng Kang, the third prince of Zheng State, who led all the soldiers under his fiefdom, a total of 20,000 and more than 50 chariots."

Yang Mu breathed a sigh of relief, since ancient times, the besieging side has basically been at a disadvantage in combat, and often has to invest several times the number of troops to conquer a city, so calculated, the gap between the forces of the two sides is not particularly large, and the situation has not reached an irreparable step.

"General Wei, tell you the truth, if our army defends to the death, what is the chance of victory?"

The old general hesitated for a moment and said, "Less than one percent." ”

"What?!" Yang Mu was taken aback, finally realized something, and asked, "Why did the old general say this?!" ”

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is superior to our army in terms of armor and equipment, and what has arrived so far is only the front army and the middle army, and the follow-up troops will arrive one after another, and the long-lasting combat capability is very strong. On the other hand, our army has no armor inside, no strong reinforcements outside, and the city will be broken in half a day or two days later. ”

"So ......" Yang Mu was frightened, and stopped talking.

"Therefore, the old minister has the courage to beg His Majesty to move and lead the hundred officials out of the city first, and the old minister will definitely resist desperately to keep His Majesty safe!" The old general looked sad and indignant, and knelt on the ground and pleaded.

General Wei knelt down, and the civil and military officials in the court also followed suit, all kneeling on the ground, kowtowing more than once, and admonishing loudly.

Looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground, Yang Mu was stunned.

When I woke up, I finally became an emperor, and I was about to be displaced again?

There are so many palace maids and eunuchs, and the people of the city are going to be ravaged by the enemy army who broke through the city and died under the butcher's knife?

No!

In a pig's eye!

Yang Mu clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind: "General Wei, take the map!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Wei Zhongquan hesitated.

"Go!"

"Compliance...... Purpose! ”

The old general sighed, beckoned to a junior general beside him, and took a map.

Yang Mu took it and spread it out on the ground.

The map is written in traditional characters, and it is slightly different from the memory, Yang Mu word by word, it took a lot of effort to understand those marks.

This is a very detailed military map, specific to mark a small peak, from the map can be seen, the entire Cangguo has a total of six cities, the area is equivalent to the size of a prefecture-level city in China, the imperial city is just in the north, if Zheng Guo invades, the imperial city bears the brunt.

General Wei Lao knelt on one knee, pointed to the map, and explained: "Zheng Kang, who led the troops this time, is the third prince of Zheng State, and his fiefdom is adjacent to my Cangguo. In recent years, the competition for the position of the prince of Zheng Guo has intensified, just a month ago, the second prince of Zheng Guo led his troops to attack Shen Guo, won many battles, and his prestige soared. Zheng Kang was unwilling to be compared to his brother, so he led his troops south, trying to destroy our country in order to regain momentum. At present, Zheng Kang's 20,000 troops are stationed outside the imperial city, threatening to attack the city before this evening, which is extremely arrogant. ”

Yang Mu nodded, looking at the map, and had a rough number in his heart.

The land area of Zheng State is three times that of Cangguo, with a population of 1.5 million, just a fief of the third prince Zhuang Kang, with a population of 200,000 and nearly 20,000 troops.

The so-called Zheng Kang's army is actually an arrogant army, relying on the strength of the crowd to besiege the imperial city, and the Cangguo where he is located has the ability to resist, but several feudal princes have self-respect and refuse to send troops to the rescue.

Therefore, this is a tough battle related to life and death, and only according to the characteristics of "the enemy is arrogant and I am weak" can we have the opportunity to win more with less.

A plan slowly took shape in his mind, and Yang Mu thought of ancient China, a very classic and very similar example.

Regardless of the odds, at least give it a go!
