There are 80,000 troops guarding Dading Mansion, plus 50,000 forbidden troops and 30,000 iron cavalry under the command of Yelu Jing in Shangjing. Yelu Jing relied on such strength, and Shangjing was as stable as Mount Tai.

Yelu Jing is stable, but Chai Rong is not stable.

Zheng En's personal guards spread the news to Kaifeng Mansion, and then there was a succession of bad news of the fall and urgent letters for help from all walks of life.

Chai Rong was already sitting on the fire roasting, and overnight, the world was turned upside down, which made Chai Rong add a lot of gray hair.

Now Zhou Guo needs support too much, whether it is military strength or financial resources, Zhou Guo is stretched.

But Zhao Kuangyin was stunned and didn't go to the aid of Baili Wuji, and now he asked Chai Rong how to ask Ming Guo for help with a cheeky face.

At this time, Chai Rong didn't know that the 80,000 cavalry who blocked the divination had also gone south, and the target was Weizhou City.

After discussing with the courtiers, Chai Rong planned for the safety of the Zhou State, and still sent a messenger to Jinling Mansion for help.

At the same time, the herald ordered the previously dispatched Xiang Training Department to go south to Weizhou to cover the retreat of Zhao Kuangyin's troops from Weizhou to Ningzhou.

Ordered the Changyi Jiedu envoy to retreat to Ningzhou, and after converging with Zhao Kuangyin's department and Xiang Xun's department, he carried out a defense across the west according to Malingshui.

Lingjing is difficult to make the place to stick to Pizhou, and defend the west across the river according to Malingshui.

Ordered Xiongwu Jiedu to abandon Qinzhou, shrink to Fengxiang Mansion, and join forces with Fengxiang Jiedu to defend according to Weishui north.

Ordered the Xiongsheng army to retreat to Fengzhou, and together with Fengxiang Mansion, it defended in the northwest direction based on Chencang and Sanguan.

In this way, the Zhou State in the west, has abandoned the four states of Qin, Yi, Long, and Jing, and gathered forces to defend.

Chai Rong had to plan for the worst. The scale of the Liao army going south this time was unprecedented, and if there was no support from the Ming State, it would be ....... Chai Rong couldn't help but think of Baili Wuji. If only he were there......

Since the sixteen states of Yanyun of the Ming State were blocked by the Ming State to the north of the Zhou State, Chai Rong did not need to consider the north for the time being.

Therefore, he ordered the Zhaoyi Army to send the history of the festival, the Taifu of the inspection school, and the Li Yun department of the Tongping Zhangshi to the west to reinforce the Xia Sui defense envoy (Dingnan Wuzhou) Liu Ci, and told that if Youzhou could not resist hard, he could retreat to Yinzhou and defend it according to the west of the Great Wall.

Chai Rong himself led 50,000 forbidden troops to move to Cizhou with firearms smuggled by the Ming State in the past year. Cizhou is located south of Suizhou, north of Hezhongfu, and southeast of Yanzhou. The northeast of Pizhou, so Chai Rong can send reinforcements to all sides at any time.

Before leaving, Chai Rongjia appointed Wang Pu, a regular attendant of the Zuo Scattered Cavalry and a scholar of the Duanming Palace, as the head of the household department and the deputy envoy of the privy council, who was responsible for preparing grain and ordnance for the army.

Since then. Zhou Guo's arrangement has been properly arranged. Chai Rong suddenly encountered an accident, naturally the first thing he thought of was defense, such an arrangement is safe, at least it can withstand for a while, thanks to Yan Yun's protection, Zhou Guo does not have to consider the pressure from the north.

But the Ming State was different, when the envoy of the Zhou State came to Jinling Mansion, he was almost eaten alive by the hundreds of officials in the Ming Dynasty. They unanimously rejected the Ming State's reinforcements to the Zhou State.

And Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian, and Feng Dao couldn't suppress the boiling of group feelings, and they were helpless. had to report to the queen of the two palaces in order to get support.

Although the queen of the two palaces was not angry with Zhou Guo's betrayal, but both of them were literate and reasonable people, under the careful explanation of Xu Shiming and Feng Dao, they also understood the truth of cold lips and teeth, so in the name of the queen of the two palaces, they drafted a decree in the name of the queen of the two palaces, and ordered the household department to support Zhou Guo with 3 million catties of fine grain, 8 million catties of dried potatoes, 50,000 grenades, and 10,000 mines.

The envoy of the Zhou State, who received a clear answer, left happily, but the Ming State was still immersed in darkness, and the emperor had not been whereabouts so far, and if it continued like this, the future of the Ming State was worrying.

The government and the opposition have been surging undercurrents, and among the forces naturally formed in various territories under the light of the brilliance of Baili Unscrupulous and benevolent, only Shu and Southern Tang have strength, especially Shu Chen is the most powerful.

When Baili Wuji was there, the figures of these people were shrouded by the shadow of Baili Wuji's majesty, and they could not be seen.

Now, the life and death of Baili Wuji are uncertain, and their figures are beginning to appear.

In fact, Meng Chang has long forgotten the glory of being the emperor, he and Mrs. Hua Rui Qin Se and Ming, life is free, Baili Wuji will naturally not treat his brother-in-law badly in life, all along, in addition to the court's Yulu, Baili Wuji from time to time to send some money to the New Year's Festival.

Meng Chang had no intention, but the ministers of Shu were thinking about Meng Chang at this time.

Only by helping Meng Chang to the stage can they rely on the dragon's skills to reach a higher level.

Li Jing has no ambition, he thought that his life was not guaranteed, but he didn't expect that Baili Wuji was merciful and saved the family, and now he lives a worry-free life, and he only looks forward to raising his sons to become talents and realize his unfulfilled dream, that is, to become a good lyricist in history, and among his sons, only Li Yu is the most talented.

Li Jing naturally did not expect that his former ministers were colluding for the restoration of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

At that time, in order to balance the Ming court, Baili Wuji authorized the ministers of Shu, Southern Tang, Southern Han, Wu Yue and other countries to elect highly respected people to participate in political affairs, and also to appease all forces.

But at this time, this also became an unstable factor in the Ming Kingdom.

The former ministers of the Shu State, led by the Governor of the State of Wu Zhao, quietly contacted Meng Yanyi, the empress of the palace.

The former ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, led by Song Qiqiu, the governor of the political affairs, contacted Zhou Xian and Zhou Qiang.

In fact, if it weren't for the uncertainty of life and death at this time, it would be impossible for the first queen and two concubines in the palace to help outsiders to cause trouble in the Ming Kingdom.

But if there is really an accident in Baili Wuji, then there is something to say.

Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian, and Feng Dao saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, now that the enemy is at present, the emperor's life and death are uncertain, if there is another civil strife, the Ming Kingdom will really collapse.

Xu Shiming proposed to secretly discuss countermeasures with Gao Rongrong, the queen of the West.

The reason for choosing Gao Rongrong, the queen of the West, is very simple, Gao Rongrong was born in Jiangling, Nanping, and it is most unlikely that she will participate in this matter, and Gao Rongrong has followed Baili Wuji from beginning to end.

The most reassuring thing is Gao Rongrong's generosity, which does have the demeanor of a mother in the world, and also has an admirable bearing.

When Gao Rongrong heard this, her heart was shocked, she would never believe that Baili Wuji would die so easily, but Ming Guo must not be in chaos at this time.

Seeing that Xu Shiming and the others were already flustered and couldn't hold their breath.

Gao Rongrong said solemnly: "Your Majesty is a person who has risen and fallen all the way from a small county order to the emperor, it is impossible for him to die so silently, if he really wants to die, he will also die vigorously." Nowadays, no news is the best news. This palace is sure that His Majesty must be alive and well, but the enemy army is strong, so he will avoid its edge for the time being. ”

These words were calmly said in Gao Rongrong's mouth, but she was uneasy in her heart.

But when Xu Shiming and the three of them heard this, it was a different taste. Indeed, a Hou palace woman is so calm and calm, but the three ministers of the Pillar Kingdom of the ridiculous Ming Kingdom are flustered and at a loss. (To be continued......)
