The capital of Liangguo, two days after the fall of Kanmeng'an and Juyongguan, until today, the battle ahead is unfavorable, and several cities cannot withstand the rapid offensive of the Weijin coalition army, and the news of the fall has just reached the capital.

After receiving His Majesty's edict, under the command of the great eunuch Han Mink Temple, the internal eunuchs quickly left the palace from the side door, prepared the carriage one by one, and went to the ministers to pick up people in the mansion in the east of the city, preparing to urgently convene a new round of court meetings.

No matter what happens, even if you see that you are about to lose the country, you must abide by the rules that should be followed, which means that the appearance of your face naturally cannot be messed up, not to mention that all the bigwigs in the court and the central government are slowly sorting out their court clothes, and there is no anxiety and panic on their faces, and they are also invisibly, the tense atmosphere that envelops everyone is washed away.

The civil and military officials walked to the Jinluan Palace, which symbolized the authority of the emperor, in turn, and the long-awaited inner eunuchs next to them handed them newly written folds one by one, which only recorded the two major events that had just been transmitted to the capital.

As the county seat of Hulan County, Kanmeng'an has completely fallen two days ago, and the entire Hulan County is almost in the hands of the enemy, the general army of the Xiong Zhen army stationed in Hulan County was killed, and the local county guard Pu Dingbo was killed in battle, and the Xiong Zhen army that reacted has begun to deploy manpower, ready to fight with the invading patriots in Hulan County, which has been caught in the war, and strive to kill the other party on the spot as soon as possible, and at the worst of all, they must be expelled from the territory of Daliang.

The situation on the other side is similar, as the first Xiongguan in Yanzhou, Juyong Pass was broken by the other party by the method of water attack, except for a group of 100-person teams stationed in the local blood army who took the initiative to run out and transmit information for the imperial court, the rest of the people chose to stay in the death battle, 30,000 blood troops, the whole army was wiped out, none survived, none surrendered, and Juyong Pass was completely lost, and the door of Yanzhou was wide open, and it was already in a precarious state.

Then the Lixue Army also reacted, under the command of the general of the Lixue Army, quickly mobilized the army, while releasing spies to actively explore intelligence, insight into the other party's movements, to avoid direct duels with the main force of the Jin army, only to do guerrillas, to fight fires everywhere, to prevent the other party from further expanding the results of the war, and at the same time try to support those who are still in the lost land of Yanzhou people to retreat to the rear, so far, more than 100,000 Lixue Army and the Jin army have fought a total of one big battle, thirteen small battles, each other, are mutually damaged, because there is a trace of scruples and reservations, so it is always temporarily contained by the other party, but this stalemate situation, which is not destined to last long.

The reason for the temporary stalemate between the two sides is actually very simple, the blood army is because of its own scarcity, and the Jin State is carrying 400,000 troops to attack, which is a ruin, and even the national fortune is gambled, and the other party fights head-on with hundreds of thousands of troops on his side, seeking a way to break the enemy, which is a taboo for soldiers.

Especially now that people have gone deep into the hinterland of their own side, if they have a bad command, resulting in the main force being defeated, and there is no power to restrain the other party, then the other party can rest assured that he can boldly drive straight in, poison everywhere, and destroy everything in Yanzhou, then the situation will not know how bad it will be, if he is defeated, he will inevitably be beheaded by the imperial court afterwards, even if he wins, the probability is a tragic victory, and he can't please himself, so why take this risk?

Not to mention that the blood army has to actively cover the retreat of the local people at the same time, which is even worse, in this case, it is better to preserve the strength as much as possible, and strive to be a poisonous snake in the dark, occasionally run to harass and provoke, and run away with a false shot, so that the other party is like a fish in the throat, and you can't kill you and disgust you, anyway, your 400,000 army, and not all cavalry, no horses, all the way to conquer the city, the marching speed is too slow, and the strength of my blood army is speed and endurance, relying on the territory of my own country, the supply is sufficient, come and go like the wind, you can't catch me, but I can run to stab you at any time, cut you a piece of meat and slip, so that you can't eat well, sleep badly, trembling at any time, will naturally defeat without a fight.

However, the only drawback of this is that it is inevitable that people will be criticized behind the scenes for "avoiding war", after all, the party is the same and fights against differences, unless it is really a catastrophe, and if you don't hold together, you will die, otherwise it will never stop, and if you want to harm the bloody army, this is a great opportunity, not to mention that those civilian officials don't know how to fight, and they can't explain it.

And on the Jin side, the troops in their hands are actually limited, their purpose is to reach Liangzhou as soon as possible and attack the capital, if the large army is consumed in Yanzhou, it is tantamount to a waste, the money has to be spent on the blade, they are not willing to fight with the bloody army, but if they seize the opportunity, both of them do not mind immediately controlling each other to death.

In addition, in fact, Yanzhou is not far from the capital, with the speed of this news transmission, if the main force of Yanzhou is really defeated on all fronts and can no longer stop the other party, I am afraid that before the news is sent back to the capital, the other party will already be in the city.

Therefore, this time the ministers were urgently convened to discuss, of course, how to deal with this sudden outbreak of war.

After all, when it comes to wartime, it is the time for them to be the masters of their own affairs, and it is a common understanding that civilian officials are in charge of government and military attaches are in charge of war, and at this time, it is a waste of the country to let civilian officials who do not understand the art of war command blindly.

There are not too many fancy, the situation is critical, everything is simple, and they can't afford to waste any more time, Gu Yi walked in a hurry, and soon walked from the back of the palace to the throne and sat down, seeing this, the hundred officials below quickly put away the folds in their hands, bowed in unison, and shouted "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Excuse me!"

Gu Yi's eyes were cold, his face was solemn, and an invisible coercion came from above, and the heads of everyone below couldn't help but subconsciously lower a few points.

"The situation is urgent, so don't talk nonsense, the situation has suddenly eroded to this point, I can't escape the blame, but now is not the time to ask the guilt, I want to ask you Aiqing, is there a solution?"

As soon as these words came out, most of the civil officials lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, and did not speak, in terms of war, since they did not understand, they would not speak rashly, so as not to be refuted by others, and laugh and be generous, this way of being an official is to rather be useless, and never have to do it, and do not leave the handle in the hands of people, so that the position can sit for a long time and sit firmly.

The war in Yanzhou is so urgent, seeing that it has reached a precarious point, a few officials from Yanzhou can't sit still, even if the status is not high, people are soft-spoken, there are still people who take the initiative to stand up, bow down, and say loudly: " Your Majesty, Wei and Jin, the thief's heart is not dead, this time the millions of troops are coming, it must have been planned, not hasty action, what is the plan, I believe that there is no need for the minister to say more, in order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, the minister implores His Majesty to send an edict to dispatch the Youzhou army to aid Yanzhou as soon as possible, so that the danger of Yanzhou can be solved!"

Someone next to him immediately stood up and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the two countries of Wei and Jin, millions of allied troops, and the two armies of Yanzhou are only 600,000 in total, and they are already inferior in terms of strength, and now they have lost the opportunity, there is no danger to follow, and it will be difficult to resist, but at this moment, if there is a Youzhou army to intercept the enemy's rear road, cut off its grain and grass, the enemy will go deep into the hinterland of our country, and the battle line will be too long, we only need to clear the wilderness, the enemy has lost supplies, hold on for a period of time, and naturally win without a fight!"

What these two people just said is actually the words of the old Chengzhong, and they did not say that they would let the Youzhou Army help the Yanzhou Army fight head-on, but let them run to cut off the enemy's rear road, which can be regarded as the least effort, the most credit, and a great benefit of selling the Youzhou Army.

After all, the disagreement between the armies of the two states has always been a thing, but Yanzhou is indeed not suitable for defense, a prairie, there is no danger at all, as long as the army has an absolute advantage, the subsequent siege of the city is as simple as eating and drinking, which is also one of the main reasons why Xiong Zhen and the two armies are not in good shape, but if Yanzhou has a little bit of a dangerous checkpoint that can be defended, let alone the imperial court, they themselves will not be so panicked, as long as the city gate is closed, hold on for a few months, the other party will run out of ammunition and food, and even the imperial court reinforcements do not need to be requested。

However, at this moment, a snarky voice suddenly sounded in the Jinluan Palace.

"Isn't the Draining Blood Army always known as the world's first in combat power, and even the Bloody Guards stationed in the capital are not taken seriously on weekdays? Back then, in the first battle of Yanran Lake, our army defeated the strong with the weak, and wiped out millions of elites of the Jin Kingdom, but now the other party is just attacking with a group of old and weak people who have been improvised patchwork, and the Draining Blood Army is not an opponent at all? Heh, if this is known by General Chang Quanxia, wouldn't it be a loss of face for his old man?"

This voice is too frivolous and rude, and what he said is too unreasonable, causing many people to be disliked, and after seeing who it is, they all frowned, feeling helpless, because this is not someone else, it is General Xu's own son, Xu Huaiying.

At this time, the foreign enemy, as a Liangguo person, should have been unanimous with the outside world, and there are still people who dare to speak like this, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that I have already been reprimanded by others, and even if I encounter a violent temper, I may want to fight in the Jinluan Palace, but after finding out that it is him, no one has any additional actions, and many people have even begun to think about the meaning behind this.

Although the military attache from Yanzhou was a little resentful, after all, he knew Xu Huaiying's identity, and now he was asking for help, so he didn't dare to open his mouth to scold the other party, so he could only explain helplessly: "Master Xu's words are very inappropriate, this cavalry is already good at meritorious battles, weak in defending, and now the opportunity has been lost, and the bloody army is forced to retreat, for the safety of His Majesty's people, he must assist in retreating and helping to defend the city. ”

The cavalry are all strong in attacking, coming and going like the wind, whether it is sweeping the formation and harassing, or attacking and chiseling the formation, it is what they are good at, but now they suddenly want all of them to dismount and help defend the city together, it is naturally embarrassing.

And another military attache from Yanzhou doesn't have such a good temper, you can insult anyone, but if you want to scold the bloody army, you have to scold Chang Dingfang's name, where can they bear it, for them, General Chang is the god of the army, and no one can blaspheme!

This is actually the core of the Youzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army controversy, one side feels that the ancestor of the Xu family has the merit of founding the country, destroying the Three Kingdoms, assisting Emperor Taizu to establish the Great Liang, this is the real Great Liang military god, and the other side feels that General Chang became famous at a young age, and at the age of twenty-one, he led the army to defeat the weak and strong, and wiped out millions of enemy troops in a war.

"Young Master Xu! Your father is the generalissimo of Youzhou's soldiers and horses, the first-class pillar of the imperial court, and has hundreds of thousands of elite horsemen under his command, but as his son, you don't even know the strengths and weaknesses of the cavalry? If you take over General Xu's class in the future, won't you lose the prestige of the four generations of the Xu family?"

Since you want to scold, then simply shake off your face and scold happily, if you want to say that my Yanzhou army is incompetent, I also want to scold you, this kid doesn't understand war at all.

Where can Xu Huaiying stand this kind of insult, even his boss is hindered by his identity on weekdays, and behaves like a submissive subordinate in front of him, what kind of identity is this person, dare to insult him like this in front of His Majesty, he was immediately furious, and was about to speak, when Xu Shijie, the real leader of the Youzhou Party, suddenly spoke.

"Presumptuous! At present, the great enemy is not thinking about how to solve the enemy for the imperial court, but here you criticize the general, what are your intentions? The war in Yanzhou is unfavorable, it is the responsibility of the Yanzhou army itself, and the imperial court has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, but you have betrayed the trust of the imperial court, and now you are here to avoid the important and shirk the responsibility, and this official is now asking you, is it not the responsibility of your Yanzhou army to lose Kanmeng'an and Juyong Pass?"

That person's official position was much lower than that of Xu Shijie, a military general of the second grade, and at this time he was even more speechless when asked, not knowing what to say, indeed, no matter what, the city fell, and the local officials and the general soldiers stationed there were all responsible, no matter how they shirked, the city was broken, it was Yanzhou's own responsibility, and they were incompetent.

"But now it's not a question of who is responsible, at the moment of the great enemy, how can Lord Xu not distinguish between right and wrong? Even if you want to be held accountable, it should be after the war, and now you are in a hurry to blame the Yanzhou soldiers, don't you forget that the Yanzhou soldiers are still fighting on the front line? What is your intention in doing this? Is it to chill the hearts of the soldiers? The lower officials only want to solve the current crisis in Yanzhou, as long as General Xu can solve this problem, ensure the peace of Yanzhou, and return the people to safety, then the lower officials are willing to return the situation with their lives and bear all the blame for the loss of the two passes!"

Such a remark was said loudly and righteously, and everyone else listened to it with a slight sideways glance, and many people had to call him a real man in their hearts!

is humble but dares to fight on the basis of reason, and even asks for the safety of Yanzhou with death, such a man is worthy of being a person from Yanzhou!

"Okay!" Gu Yi on the dragon chair couldn't listen anymore, and immediately slapped the chair, became furious, and scolded, "The war ahead is urgent, but you are still playing tricks with me here! If Yanzhou falls and the capital is besieged, who will bear this responsibility?"

Seeing the anger of the Son of Heaven, the officials hurriedly bowed down and prostrated their sins, saying that His Majesty forgave his sins.

Gu Yi looked irritable, and immediately waved his hand impatiently, because he was so excited, that even the tassel in front of the crown on his head shook together.

"Okay! I don't have time to quarrel with you here, I summoned you here today in order to quickly discuss a perfect strategy that can solve the danger of Yanzhou, who is right and wrong, and will be convicted after the verification of the imperial history, before the siege of Yanzhou is lifted, above the court meeting, whoever dares to talk more will be killed!"

The emperor is a golden mouth, with a heavenly constitution in his mouth, once this is said, it will not be recovered, such a severe punishment is indeed a shock to the people below, of course, people with a discerning eye can see that Your Majesty's words are mostly said to the two boys of the Xu family.

Seeing that everyone didn't dare to speak for a long time, Gu Yi was helpless, so he had to ask the people below again: "Do you think this method is feasible to use the Youzhou army to solve the danger of Yanzhou?"

Before others could stand up and express their opinions and have a discussion, Xu Shijie immediately mustered up the courage to stand up again, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, this law can't be done, the Shu Kingdom, and the strangers in the desert have also sent troops together, and the Youzhou army can't leave!"
