Maybe it's really God blessed, and on the way to Lixian, there was no encounter with a large force of fierce cavalry. Before dawn, Yang Yi's grain team finally entered the control of the Daguang army, and the closer it was to Lixian, the denser the army became, which was not a good sign.

When he arrived outside Lixian County, Gong Weiming needed to go to the handover paperwork, and the anxious Yang Yibian separated from the grain team and drove his horse directly to Lixian County.

After Yang Yi entered the city of Lixian, he immediately felt that the surrounding atmosphere was very strange, and it could be said that the morale of the surrounding Daguang generals was extremely low, and anger, fear, and sorrow filled the entire city.

The emperor's temporary palace was installed in a local gentry's mansion, and even if Yang Yi wanted to see his mother very quickly, he had to go to see the emperor first according to the rules.

After waiting at the gate of Xingyuan for half an hour, Zhao Gui hurriedly rushed out of the door. When he saw Yang Yi, Zhao Gui was also a little surprised, maybe Yang Yi's safety was the only good thing during this time, which would always ease the emperor's depressed mood.

Zhao Gui didn't say much to Yang Yi, and after a simple shudder, he led Yang Yi into the garden.

The garden of this gentry landlord's house is not small, and it is not at all obvious that this is a place of war. followed Zhao Gui into a few gardens, three steps, one gang, five steps and one sentry along the way, and the entire manor was filled with forbidden troops.

Zhao Gui brought Yang Yi to the door of the main hall, turned around and said, "The emperor is discussing at the court, and His Royal Highness is waiting here." ”

Yang Yi nodded, stood aside and stopped talking, only hearing the noise of people in the hall, like a vegetable market.

"Your Majesty! If you want to save the Northern Army from breaking through, you need to go straight into the lone army and forcibly tear through the fierce defense line, and it will form a consequence that affects the whole body, this matter cannot be done! ”

"The minister seconded the .."

"The minister also agrees with Lord Zhong's opinion, this matter needs to be thought twice."

Suddenly, someone interrupted everyone's recital, and said a little excitedly: "Your Majesty! The 70,000 northern troops in Shuozhou City have been out of food for several days, and if they delay any longer, I am afraid it will be difficult to support! Please also ask the emperor and your lords not to abandon the Northern Army! ”

This voice sounded somewhat familiar, Yang Yi seemed to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Zhong Dada, who spoke earlier, said: "None of us said that we want to abandon the Northern Army, but the fierce Di people who are good at sports warfare are themselves using the Shuozhou encirclement point to send reinforcements." In order to save Shuozhou two days ago, almost none of the 25,000 people interspersed in it or came back, the leading Zhonglang general Liu Kai, and Xu Zhongbang, who joined the army, were all killed in battle, and even your commander made General Qi retreat to Shuozhou City with serious injuries. ”

But the man cried again, "You can't do this! The Northern Army is loyal to Daguang, and 100,000 soldiers shed their blood in Shuozhou City, but you ignore our life and death, what is the reason! ”

"Hmph... Is the Northern Army loyal to Daguang? If it weren't for the need for Daguang to support you with countless grains, grasses and armaments, I'm afraid you would have cut the land and become kings, right? ”

"You... You cowardly rotten people! The enemy is currently taking care of his dog's life everywhere, and I am waiting for thousands of soldiers to fight in front of the blood, but you are spraying people with blood here, and the blood of Lu Shuai, who died unjustly, has not yet dried up, do you want to do what you did back then? Sooner or later, the light will be destroyed in your hands! ”

"Presumptuous! Before the royal drive, a little deputy envoy was so rampant! Your Majesty, please behead this person immediately to suppress the prestige of the country! ”

The man was not afraid, and still said angrily: "There was the soul of Lu Shuai before, and now there is Qi Shuai, the 100,000 soldiers of our Northern Army did not die at the hands of the fierce Di people, but died in the blood of you courtiers, what is the reason of heaven!" What is the reason of heaven! ”

"Hold on—" was the Emperor's deep voice.

But after a while, the crying people inside were dragged out by the Praetorian guards. When he went down the steps, he happened to pass by Yang Yi.

The man was slightly stunned when he saw Yang Yi is sad and desperate face, and he wanted to say something but was already dragged out of the hospital.

"Is that him?" This person Yang Yi knew that he was the spy of the Northern Army who was rescued by himself and Yang Jie in the camp of the fierce Di people in Xiaoshi Mountain when he was studying in the imperial capital.

Later, Yang Yi learned that this person was Yu Hou Yuejing of the Northern Army, when he was returning to Beijing to do business, he encountered a strange caravan on the way, so he pretended to be a man and mixed in to check, his identity was revealed and he was captured, and was later rescued by Yang Yi and Li Yan's brothers.

Yang Yi also saw the news of this person when he was in the military department, it should be that he was promoted to the deputy commander by the imperial court, looking at his bloodstained appearance and the conversation in the lobby at this time, this Yue Jing should have just broken out of Shuozhou City a few days ago.

At this time, I heard the emperor in the room condensing again: "Li Cen, what do you say." ”

Li Cen pondered for a moment and said: "Although this person has disturbed the holy car by saying wild words, he has made meritorious contributions to the enemy, and killing him will hurt morale, so he should be imprisoned and convicted after the war." ”

"You know I didn't ask you this, Shuozhou City to save or not to save?" The Emperor said impatiently.

"It's... With all due respect, it's not that I don't want to save it, it's that it's really difficult to save. If too few troops are sent to tear through the defense line of the fierce people, there is no doubt that there is no return, just like the day before yesterday. And if the soldiers are overwhelmed, it is tantamount to a decisive battle with the fierce Di people in advance, and this is by no means the best time. ”

The emperor said again: "Hu Yao, you are a general, tell me your opinion?" ”

"Back to the emperor... Minister... The minister agreed with the marquis's opinion, at this time my food and grass were not sufficient, and the whereabouts of the two tribes of Di Wuqi and Goduan (the king of Zuoping and the king of Youping) were difficult to capture, and in fact it was not the time for a decisive battle with Di. ”

"Then what do you tell me to do? Just watched Qi Jingshan and his tens of thousands of northern troops trapped alive in Shuozhou City? The Emperor said angrily.

Li Cen said: "Your Majesty, it is imperative to send an envoy to negotiate peace with Hu Yanzhi and let him release the northern army, and on the other hand, speed up the reorganization of the armament, and wait for everything to be ready before he can be afraid of fierceness." ”

….

The ministers in the hall deliberated for another half an hour, and the emperor seemed to be extremely tired, and said in a calm voice: "It's all gone..."

The generals came out of the hall, and everyone seemed surprised when they saw Yang Yi standing outside the hall, but they didn't expect that Yang Yi was really not killed by the fierce Di people, and they all secretly said in their hearts: "These nine nerds are so blunt." ”

"Is Your Highness safe?" Li Cen and Du Li, who came out at the end, greeted them and said with a smile.

Yang Yi returned the salute: "Thank you two adults for your concern, Yang Yi is sick." ”

At this time, Zhao Gui, who came out of the inner hall, saluted Li Cen and Du Li, and said to Yang Yi: "Your Highness, the emperor is tired and needs to rest temporarily, allow you to go back to see Concubine Ning Niangniang first, and the emperor will pass you later." ”

Yang Yi was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Yang Yi obeys the order." He turned to Li Cen and the others: "Two adults, Yang Yi is worried about his mother, so he will leave first, and come to visit him another day to apologize." ”
