[Ran^Text^Library] "What the hell is going on?" Could it be a sneak attack by Goguryeo's naval army? That can't be. Even if it is a sneak attack, 10,000 sailors will wipe out your 60,000 army? ”

"Oh, not 10,000 against 60,000, but 80,000 against 40,000! Baekje's 20,000 sailors, on the surface, obeyed the words of the micro-ministers, but secretly, they had already hooked up with the Goguryeos. They took advantage of the opportunity to be stationed together with our army and set fire to the ship, which caught our army by surprise! ”

"Huh?" His Majesty Li Er's head "buzzed", and he said hatefully: "In this way, didn't I become Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms, and was deceived by Fuyu Zhang, the old Huang Zhong?" ”

Li Jidao: "Fuyu Zhang's anti-water is only 30,000 against 40,000. Even if the army is defeated, it will not be wiped out, right? ”

"It's not 30,000 versus 40,000, didn't I just say that? It's 80,000 against 40,000! ”

"Where did the other 50,000 enemy troops come from? Could it be that Silla is also reversed? No way! Even if Silla was reversed, they would not be able to muster together 50,000 sailors. ”

"It's not Silla, it's Fuso!" Zhang Liang said with a sad face: "They shouted that a million troops from Fusang came to help, according to my estimates, there are about 50,000 naval troops in total, and it is not clear how many more land forces there are." ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed and said, "The 40,000 naval army has been wiped out, and it seems that this Eastern Crusade is a complete failure." Let's discuss how to ......."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, suddenly patted his head, and said, "British duke, how many days of food are still in our camp?" The convoy transporting grain and grass hasn't come for a few days? ”

"The stock will probably last for ten days. Our grain and grass should be sent in three days, but because of the recent rain and flash floods, it was the fourth day that there was no grain and grass replenishment until yesterday...... Oops, not good! ”

Speaking of this, Li Ji's face suddenly changed, and he said, "You are saying that there is a problem with Shang Shuwei of the Criminal Department!" ”

"Not bad." His Majesty Li Er's face was extremely ugly, and he said, "Although I have long known that there is a problem with that unfilial son, I didn't expect that he would collude with the Goguryeo people!" This time it was really careless. If I'm not mistaken, there will be no more food delivered. ”

"It should ...... Should...... It doesn't stop there. ”

"Hmph, I wish I had the heart of a villain to live the belly of a gentleman. Still, let's prepare for the worst. ”

Li Ji said: "Yes, there is no better ruthlessness than starvation." Once Wei Shangshu betrays, the consequences are unimaginable, and we must prepare early. Therefore, the top priority now is to withdraw the troops as soon as possible. The sooner the better. ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "I want to withdraw my troops as soon as possible, but you see, Baekje, Goguryeo and Fusang, their three kingdoms have been united, and we didn't hear any news beforehand." Do you think that their goal is only to destroy my Datang naval army? ”

"Your Majesty, are they going to bury all of our tens of thousands of people here?"

"I suspect that everything is in their plan. Xue Yantuo raised troops to rebel, maybe it was related to the Goguryeo people. Even if we take the domestic city lightly, Goguryeo deliberately sold a flaw. As for how to encircle and intercept, I'm afraid they have long been prepared. ”

"Then the top priority now is to choose a general to break off?"

"Yes. This person is not easy to find. This man must not only be brave, but also be good at using his troops to buy time for the retreat of the army. The most important thing is ......" His Majesty Li Er sighed lightly and said, "You must have the heart to sacrifice your life for the country." ”

Zhang Liang rolled his eyes and said, "Weichen recommends one person, and he can be the one who can be in charge." ”

"Who?"

"Qin Guogong Guo Ye Guo Ziyi! He was high enough to lead an army. As for being brave and good at using soldiers, that's not a problem. In this Eastern Crusade, all the credit is made by him, who will be sent after he is not sent? ”

"This ......" His Majesty Li Er frowned, according to reason, Guo Ye, the Duke of Qin, was indeed the most suitable candidate.

However, he was really reluctant.

This person who has been cut off can be said to be nine deaths and one life. If he had to choose, he would rather choose someone else, even if it was to choose the British Gong Li Ji, he would not want to choose Guo Ye.

It's not that Guo Ye is better than Li Ji in his mind, the key to the problem is that Guo Ye is young.

Li Ji is about to be fifty, who knows how long he can live, but Guo Ye is not yet thirty years old, and there is no problem in serving him for another twenty or thirty years.

It's a pity to sacrifice like this.

However, despite thinking so in his heart, His Majesty Li Er would not just say it stupidly, it would be too hurtful.

He sneered and said, "Xun Guogong, you first disrespected the decree, and I didn't cure your crimes. Now that you have lost my 40,000 sailors, I still have not cured you of your crimes. How? Pampered and proud? Now that we've all come to this point, you still want to declare your personal vendetta? ”

"Your Majesty, how dare Weichen do such a thing!" Zhang Liang said: "It is really Qin Guogong who is the most suitable person, the so-called external move does not avoid relatives, and internal action does not avoid hatred." Moreover, after the judgment of the Qin State, there is another benefit that others cannot reach! ”

"What's the benefit?"

"It can make Qin Guogong prove his innocence, and let His Majesty and the people of the world be suspicious."

"What are you talking about? What do I suspect about Qin Guogong? ”

"It's not that Your Majesty wants to suspect anything, but that Qin Guogong's deeds are really suspicious." Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty, why did our army fall into the situation of annihilation in the blink of an eye?" ”

"Of course, the three kingdoms joined forces, and my unfilial son also contributed to the trouble."

"No, it's just a superficial phenomenon. In essence, it is to blame Qin Guogong! ”

His Majesty Li Er was all amused by Zhang Liang and said, "What nonsense! Do you think that I am a person who has competed for merit? This expedition to the east is headed by me, even if it fails, it is also my responsibility, how can it be blamed on the head of Qin Guogong? ”

"Not really. Weichen said that this is the responsibility of Qin Guogong, not unfounded, for three reasons. ”

"You speak."

"First, I think that when the Duke of Qin was ordered to send Xue Yantuo, the purpose was to prevent Xue Yantuo from making trouble after our army set off. Qin Guogong also claimed to have completed the task, and His Majesty took it lightly. As a result, it turned out that he was completely deceived by others! ”

His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "The idea of expecting a person to change the war and strategy of a big country with a three-inch tongue is not reliable in itself. Qin Guogong and his entourage were originally dead horses as live horse doctors. Even if he fails, he can't be blamed. Let's talk about the second one. ”

"The second reason and the third reason are actually pretty much the same. If the three armies run out of food, the first thing to blame is Wei Ting, the secretary of the criminal department. This time, the navy army was completely annihilated, although it was mainly because of the alliance of the three countries, but the unfavorable command of Weichen was also one of the reasons. ”

"What does this have to do with Qin Guogong?"

"Of course it is. Your Majesty, have you ever thought about whose idea it was, whether Wei Shangshu was in charge of escorting grain and grass, or Wei Chen was in charge of the navy? In all fairness, are the two of us really suited to these two roles? ”

"This ......" His Majesty Li Er was speechless.

Zhang Liang was unforgiving, and said: "Therefore, this defeat, Qin Guogong is to blame." It is even very likely that the Duke of Qin was in collusion with Goguryeo or the King of Qi, which led to these two appointments. ”

Li Ji said angrily: "Nonsense! What can Goguryeo give to Qin Guogong, worthy of his betrayal of the Tang Dynasty? As for King Qi's side...... The Duke of Qin is already the crown prince, he just needs to be loyal to the prince step by step, why bother to praise the stinky feet of the king of Qi? ”

"Uh...... Qin Guogong is the most lustful, maybe someone promised him some peerless beauty? ”

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, I believe in Qin Guogong." If he had some selfish motives in recommending the two of you, I believe it. But to say that he betrayed me is impossible. ”

Zhang Liang said angrily: "Even if he is loyal to His Majesty, he is not recommending people properly and is responsible for the failure of the Eastern Crusade, so he didn't run, right?" ”

"This ...... That's right. ”

"In that case, why doesn't Your Majesty let him make meritorious contributions?"

Before His Majesty Li Er could answer, Guo Ye knelt down and said, "Weichen is willing to break off for the army, I hope Your Majesty will allow it!" ”
