This Emperor Mingde's brain is different from others, and in order to centralize power, he even united with outsiders to pit his own general.

However, the death of Meng Changqi will have more advantages than disadvantages for the Jin Kingdom, and he can still get a hundred miles of land, so why not? Even if Li Hongsheng is unwilling at that time, he can take it himself.

And Xi Jiang asked Feng Xiuyu to move at the border, just to find an excuse to contain Rong Kaishan, so that Li Hongsheng could not find an excuse to transfer Rong Kaishan and Rong Jiajun. At the same time, it can also create an illusion of embattlement, so that Li Hongsheng has to turn to Meng Changqi for help.

After Li Hongsheng vented, he sat back on the dragon chair, saw the letter on the table, and the anger that had just disappeared came up again. Just as he was about to come again, an eight-hundred-mile rush from the border came in an emergency.

The content is still about this battle, Li Hongsheng thought about it, and gave Zhang Jian a holy decree.

Not long after Zhang Jian received the Meng family's army, he was not happy for a while when he was attacked by the Jin army.

When his subordinate general came to ask what to do, Zhang Jian, as a general, even asked the general what to do?

made the general embarrassed, and he despised Zhang Jian more and more in his heart. What they Meng Jiajun hate the most is such a relational household. Moreover, this related household also squeezed out their general and general Meng Xiao.

"You are a general, and the deployment of defense in this army should be arranged by you, and I will use it as a young general!"

"You first discuss a few ways to come out, and General Ben will choose."

The operation of "......" Zhang Jian stunned many generals.

Zhang Jian is actually a useless straw bag, where does he know what to deploy in the army, before he was just Li Hongsheng's close guard.

A few years ago, he was favored by Li Hongsheng and was promoted intentionally or unintentionally, so he sat in his current position. He was completely pushed by Li Hongsheng, and he didn't understand the affairs of the army at all.

In the end, the generals took out the method before Meng Changqi left for discussion and discussion.

The more everyone studied, the more they felt that Meng Changqi was really unfathomable. Everything was thought out before leaving, and a proper solution was given.

But the incompetence of one general exhausted the three armies, and as the battle became more and more intense, Zhang Jian's incompetence became more and more obvious, and even the whole army knew it.

It's just that everyone unanimously kept silent, after all, they are related households and concubines Rong's relatives.

On the Jin side, Yu waited for a few days this summer, and before Li Hongsheng's reply, he knew that Li Hongsheng was not going to fulfill the contract.

So he ordered to storm Jiayang Pass, and it was a just battle for the Jin State to take back his land.

Without a strong commander, the Mingde army was defeated one after another, and the news soon spread back to the capital.

Li Hongsheng's mood has been unstable during this time, and now Zhang Jian's defeat has added fuel to the fire, and Li Hongsheng is so anxious that his hair is gray.

The regime he had always wanted to take back was also repeatedly shelved. But Xi Jiang in the harem is very leisurely, and things are going more smoothly than she imagined.

She originally thought that Li Hongsheng would at least abide by the agreement with Yu this summer, but she didn't expect Li Hongsheng to violate the agreement and not give a hundred miles of land to the Jin State, which led to a fierce attack by the Jin State, making the situation on the surface of Mingde very serious.

In the Qinzheng Palace, several ministers sat in front of Li Hongsheng.

"Your Majesty, the attack of the Jin Kingdom in the south is getting stronger and stronger, and Jiayang Pass needs support, otherwise this Jiayang Pass may not be able to hold it."

"Transfer the Rong family army to Jiayang Pass!" Li Hongsheng thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, the Wu Dynasty in the west is ready to move, if the Rong family army leaves, the Wu Dynasty will directly join the war, and then our country will be attacked by the enemy."

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of the northern grasslands. If they also take advantage of the fire to rob, the country will be in danger. ”

Then, Cheng Hanwen reminded again: "Your Majesty, such a huge military expenditure is unbearable for the household department, and some warehouses have been emptied. ”

All of a sudden, all the questions came together.

Li Hongsheng never thought that national affairs were really gathered together, so complicated and troublesome, why didn't there be so many things before?

Li Hongsheng thought so and asked.

The hall was quiet for three seconds before someone replied: "Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom, the Wu Dynasty, and the grassland attack are because of the unstable political situation in our country, and the pressure on the household department is because the Meng family no longer supports the army. ”

The implication is: who is to blame? It's not that you are to blame, whimsical, want to learn from the centralization of the other two countries, and don't want to think about whether you have this ability?

In the end, he still came out to ease the atmosphere, "Your Majesty, you must have a plan for this." ”

The scholar Ji Yan proposed: "Your Majesty, welcome back the Marquis of Yi Yong!" Yi Yonghou alone can support a quarter of Mingde. ”

"Your Majesty, this is a critical moment for the survival of the country, and please don't be emotional."

And they admonished.

But Li Hongsheng denied it in court, "Meng Qing is old, how can I disturb Meng Qing's peaceful life with peace of mind." ”

Everyone knew that Li Hongsheng could not be persuaded today, so they could only deal with the things in front of them first.

When Li Hongsheng hesitated, one after another 800-mile urgent letters kept entering the capital from the border gates.

The courtiers also became more and more dissatisfied with Li Hongsheng, and even some neutrals couldn't sit still, and began to take turns to persuade Li Hongsheng.

But Li Hongsheng was unmoved, once the military power returned to Meng Changqi's hands, he would never want to take it back.

When Li Hongsheng hesitated, a major event spread throughout the capital.

Jiayang Pass is lost!

This incident caused a great panic among the people and the common people.

"Jiayang Pass is lost, this is the first time since the founding of our dynasty that we have been defeated so completely, right?"

"Without the brave Marquis of the Meng family, it is no longer a legend, and it is not worthy of everyone's discussion and respect."

"This new general is just a straw bale, a grass that can't be supported."

"Alas! Your Majesty's vision is not good this time! ”

"Jiayang Pass is lost, this Jin army will not hit the capital, right?"

"Bah, bah, the capital is so easy to fight."

At the same time, the entire court was shocked, and the ministers were shocked.

"Jiayang Pass is lost?"

"If you suffer, the Wu Dynasty and the grassland will definitely not sit still."

"What to do? Treasury logistics are somewhat unable to keep up. ”

The ministers were impatient, but Li Hongsheng just didn't let go to welcome back Meng Changqi.

On this day, Xi Jiang came to visit Li Hongsheng with a cup of clear soup, which surprised Li Hongsheng.

At this time, Li Hongsheng was losing his temper, and Xi Jiang made a look, let everyone go out, and received a few grateful glances.

Xi Jiang put the soup on the table, looked relaxed and comfortable, and said, "Your Majesty is worried about the matter of Jiayang Pass!" ”

"Hmm!" Li Hongsheng rubbed his temples on both sides, looking tired.

"Seeing that His Majesty is in such a bad mood, the concubine is relieved." Xi Jiang said happily.

Li Hongsheng raised his head and stared at Xi Jiang with wide eyes, "What did you say?" ”

Xi Jiang said with a smile: "The concubine said that when she saw that His Majesty was not doing well, the concubine was happy." ”
