The Imperial Study.

Lao Kang wandered around the room with his big head up, and his mouth was full of words: "What a bunch of waste, what's the use of raising them, the military situation only came from the city for half a month, what did you do earlier..."

The military information was delivered to the palace in the middle of the night and revealed the next morning.

Lao Kang didn't sleep all night, and Qingsi was about to become gray hair...

"Your Majesty, do you want to send troops to reinforcements immediately?" Li Dequan reminded.

Reinforce?

Why didn't he want reinforcements!

However, it was just after Chinese New Year's Eve, and the fifteenth year was ushered in, which was the time when the defense of the upper and lower levels of the DPRK was the lowest, and Western Xia happened to attack the city at this time.

Where did he go to gather so many troops in one time!

Forcibly issuing an order will only bring unstable public opinion.

Anyway, I have to wait until after today...

Lao Kang sat next to the dragon case and took out the holy decree pressed under the fold that had not yet been approved.

This holy decree was written before Chinese New Year's Eve.

It was not taken out until today, "As soon as today is over, we must hand over the holy decree to the military department, and if there is any delay in support, we should behead the generals!" ”

"Wow." Li Dequan quickly took the holy decree and retreated.

General's Palace.

The weather is still clear in the morning, which will cover the dark clouds.

Ruthlessly went to the Jiangnan area to deal with things, and now he just returned home, and learned the news that Jingli was sent to Xicheng, and before he had time to be happy, he was forcibly covered up by the quiet atmosphere in the study.

I saw Qigege holding a secret report, staring at the floor with blank eyes.

Ruthless's eyelids jumped, "What's the trouble?" ”

Hearing this, Qigege raised his eyes and glanced at him coldly.

Ruthless was stunned by this look, no, frightened to be exact.

The master in my impression has never projected such a lethal look...

The first thing that came to mind was that something happened in the capital.

Qigege threw the secret report in his hand to him, "You have been gone for a month, and you don't even say hello, how beautiful the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River should be, it will hook your soul." ”

The secret guard in the house thought that Qigege knew about the ruthless escape, so he didn't report it separately.

Or today she suddenly remembered and asked.

Ruthlessly read the secret report, "... Something happened to Xicheng? ”

"It was half a month ago."

It is not surprising that the military situation has been delayed three times.

Do the math, the butler has been gone for some time, and there has been no news of Cullen so far.

And this time it was written in the secret report that from the palace that when the Northern Wilderness was about to break, an army suddenly appeared and killed all the enemy troops entering the city, which was the situation of temporary stability on the letter.

It is not difficult to guess that eighty percent of this army is a pro-guard army led by a steward.

From Xicheng to the capital, it takes three days to arrive.

Excluding the time of the military delay, this secret report should have been sent from Xicheng ten days ago.

Ruthlessly considered: "But when my subordinates entered the city, they didn't see the army leaving the city..."

A military delay of one day can cause a lot of losses, let alone half a month.

Ruthless can't figure it out.

If it is really as reported in the letter, at this time, the secret letter should be passed into the palace before they know, and after the emperor reads the secret letter, shouldn't he send troops to reinforce Xicheng as soon as possible?

And ruthlessly entering Beijing to the General's Mansion, the streets of the capital are calm.

"Look what day it is."

Ruthlessly blurted out, "Fifteen." ”

In the next moment, he understood that fifteen was the day of family reunion, and not long after Chinese New Year's Eve, there were not many soldiers stationed in the imperial army, and it was impossible to gather in a short time.

Soon, ruthlessly said: "My subordinates will leave for Xicheng." ”-
