Moreover, Suo Qi was also slandered by Gao Yue for being crowned the county prince. In the past, the high position was light and low, and Suo Qi could also take care of the mentality of his subordinates, take care of them with peace of mind, and take care of them as a matter of course; Now Gao Yue is basically on an equal footing with him at a young age, which makes him unacceptable, and secretly complains about the abuse of the imperial court, thinking that the emperor did not note him in advance, and he is the lord of the knighthood, which is very inappropriate, and it also makes his authority challenged.

Therefore, Suo Qi would rather everyone come to defend the city together, rather than Gao Yue going out to make meritorious contributions. His opinion was very important at the court meeting, and he was vigorously opposed to it by only using too much risk as an excuse. Slowly, many ministers began to second, among which Yang Xiao, the fifth soldier Shangshu, had the loudest voice, and he said impassionedly, Gao Dudu was still young and vigorous, but he just wanted to fight. In case of defeat and provocation, it will shake people's hearts more and more, and then how can it be good? At the end, he saluted Gao Yue, he had a fair heart, but he was right about things and not people, please don't blame Gao Du Haihan.

Although Gao Yue couldn't figure out why Suo Yu was so contradictory for a while, this Yang Yu must have felt that he had lost face in public because he felt that he had lost face in public because of the incident with his grandson Yang Yu last time, so he seized the opportunity at the moment and jumped out to make trouble. But personal grudges are trivial matters, and in the face of major military affairs, how can they so publicly declare personal vendettas. But if it is refuted and exposed in person, people will think that Gao Yue has a small belly and chicken intestines, and he is loyal and good, so he has to endure it.

Seeing that Sima Ye went from hesitating to gradually believing in Suo Qi, Gao Yue was in a hurry, and immediately bowed down and said: "It's a pity that a good fighter is fleeting!" The minister is invited to lead his own army and horses, go out of the city to ambush Liu Yao, if he does not have any gains, the minister is willing to accept any punishment. ”

Fan Shengnai is a Beijing official, and he has some obstacles, although he agrees with Gao Yuezhi's statement in his heart, but it is not good to openly jump out and contradict Suo Qi, but if he pretends to be deaf and dumb, he can't help it, and he thinks about it, and still goes out of the column and says: "Your Majesty, Suo Taiwei is old and serious. However, the minister thought that he could also let the high envoy try it, anyway, the worst was just to fortify the city and defend itself, and the military spirit should not be further shaken, and the minister was willing to take the responsibility of presiding over the military defense of the city. ”

The governor of Liangzhou, Wang Cai, also knelt down beside Gao Yue, and said loudly: "Take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to attack his heart, this plan Weichen agrees very much." The high envoy Jun is wise and brave, loyal to the country, and the ministers have the courage to ask His Majesty not to hesitate anymore, so he will agree. Weichen is also willing to go with the high envoy to kill the enemy. ”

The two of them looked at Sima Ye with expectant eyes. Sima Ye originally left a shadow in his heart because of Suo Qi's defeat, but this time he was repeatedly admonished by Suo Qi, and he also felt that if Gao Yue, who had placed great hopes, was defeated again, the people's hearts would inevitably fall apart.

"Gao Qing, for the sake of prudence, I am willing, it is better to hold the city to the death, and wait for the enemy to be exhausted, and then make reason."

"Your Majesty! If Liu Yao besieges the city, he will definitely attack with all his might, and it is reported that he has seventy or eighty thousand people, attacking day and night, it will be difficult for my Chang'an to hold on, where is it easy to wait until he is gradually tired! Your Majesty, please ......"

Gao Yue is really hard to say, if you look at it from the official history, this year's court is more auspicious, if you don't take the initiative to seize the opportunity now, try your best to fight back, and fight for more living space and time, you only know that if you blindly sit in a lonely city, then the jade will inevitably be broken. He was so anxious that his face was flushed, his sword eyebrows were upside down, and he couldn't help but want to argue again, but Suo Qi sank his face and said angrily: "Gao Dudu, how can you be so stubborn!" And Your Majesty Chrysostom said, since you have already decreed that it is not allowed, how can you still let Your Majesty take back your life! The matter of going out of the city to face the battle, don't mention it again when you stop here, it is better to discuss the defense of the city in detail. ”

Gao Yue's heart drifted like snow, he sighed, bowed speechlessly, and stood up in frustration.

It was only in the evening of the second day, on the distant horizon, the Hun army seemed to be emptying the waves, as if filling everything in heaven and earth. 70,000 elite soldiers, murderous like a beast roaring, making people chill. The wolf's banner covered the sky, and the endless enemy army, and the constant dull sound of bull horns, made the people of the city seem to forget to breathe for an instant.

Gao Yue joined the army and was a veteran of the war. At this moment, seeing the momentum of the enemy army, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, but he had no choice but to lose the opportunity, so he was passive, and he intuitively felt that this time he was going to experience an extremely tragic battle.

The Hun army entered the city, but there was no offensive posture. But he drove piles unhurriedly, erected fences, and set up camp first in an orderly manner. The city general looked at this kind of calmness in his eyes, but he clearly felt Liu Yao's determination to win.

Watching the military tents of the Huns be built one by one. Gao Yue couldn't help but speak, wanting to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, he could lead thousands of elite cavalry out of the city to rush out of the city to kill for a while. If it is unexpectedly successful, then the city can immediately send reinforcements to expand the results of the battle, and if it is not easy to succeed, at least it can also thwart its edge.

Suo Qi firmly grasped Sima Ye's psychology. For example, a person who is extremely frightened, in the face of danger, instinctively will only hold his head and shrink his body, and do his best to protect himself, without thinking of taking the initiative to test or even attack danger. So under Suo Qi's refutation and persuasion, Sima Ye still did not agree to Gao Yue's proposal again after all.

Sima Ye looked at Gao Yue with some apologetic feelings, and sighed: "Gao Qing, I know your loyalty. But at present, the people of Chang'an are panicked, and the troops are relatively thin compared to the enemy. And now that I'm exhausted, I really can't withstand another blow, so you should listen to Captain Suo first. ”

Gao Yue replied in a low voice. In a trance, he seemed to experience some of the heartfelt feelings of helplessness, unwillingness, sorrow and regret when his father-in-law was restrained by the Song court in every way.

This is a time when there is a crisis, and the situation in Shangtai has finally undergone new changes. Since Gao Yue left the city of Shangtai, Han Yong commanded an army of 20,000 people, further intensified the situation of coercion, and launched three large-scale strong attacks before and after. In the case of a serious reduction in the number of troops defending the city, Sima Bao not only forcibly recruited young and strong people from all over the place to serve as guards, but even weighed left and right, and sent 1,000 guards from the palace who never left his side at all times, and also gritted his teeth and sent all of them to the city.

In the upper-grade wing room full of flowers, Qi Fuyan's small eyes were shining, and he was talking to Kuai Laosan anxiously. After a few months of helplessness, he believed that the time was ripe for a surprise attack on the Nanyang Palace, and nothing in the world was really completely certain.

Sima Bao struggled with all his last strength, and transferred all the palace guards, and now his lair must be extremely empty. So far, he has put all his energy outside the city, neglecting, or even if he thinks about it, he has no choice but to take care of the security situation in the city. Therefore, I decided, without further ado, let's do it tonight and go straight to the Nanyang Palace! ”

Hearing that Qi Fuyan was no longer in a deliberative tone, but gave an order, Kuai Laosan hurriedly stood up and nodded frequently. As the actual leader of the inner government in Shangtai City, now the army outside the city has been attacking the city for a long time, and it has begun to be obviously damaged, but the work of his internal government branch has been unfavorable, and the situation has always been stagnant and deadlocked, and he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity to cooperate with the outside world, which makes him feel extremely stressed.

Qi Fuyan's words also made him make up his mind. If they hesitate any longer, and when they make great efforts to break through the city outside the city, they will be tantamount to not making an inch, delaying dereliction of duty, and most of them will not be able to eat and walk around. Now, the palace garrison is indeed unprecedentedly empty, and it is really an extremely rare opportunity, no matter what, it has to be attacked.

"Good! Deputy Envoy Qi's words are exactly what his subordinates think. Kuai Laosan rarely slapped the table hard, and took the opportunity to vent his inner torment: "Fuck it!" If we don't take action, our soldiers don't know how many people they will have to sacrifice, and we really can't wait any longer. Deputy Envoy Qi, subordinates should now call for the dispatch of all reliable and usable manpower, so as to be able to hit tonight! ”
