Overnight, the situation in Henan Province was turned upside down, and several cities leading from Hedong Road to Henan Province fell into the hands of Yuan Zhang, and the small court of the King of Qi, who thought that they could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, immediately fell into an extremely dangerous situation, and they were now almost in danger to defend, and they were about to face a frontal attack by 100,000 Mobei elites.

What frightened them even more was that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who had withdrawn from these cities were still crowded on the roads, and they had no time to hide in the city, they were about to face the situation of fighting with the Mobei cavalry in the field, and almost no one thought that they still had the possibility of winning; If these soldiers and horses were lost, the small court of King Qi would only have more than 100,000 people to fight the enemy.

"This matter is all because of Lord Cui, this official has long said that the ambition of the Tartar wolf, this move is to seek the skin of the tiger, but Lord Cui has repeatedly insisted, now that he has lost four cities in a row, the door of Henan Road is wide open, what else can I do to meet the enemy?" Above the court, countless people began to criticize Cui Jidao and Cui Bogui, but no one raised the question of how to deal with Yuan Zhang's army.

"Xiangzhou City has been holding on for several days, if additional reinforcements are sent, it may not be impossible to keep the enemy out of Henan Road, but Lord Cui has handed it over to others, resulting in no danger to defend Henan Road, which is really a great crime, and I also ask Lord Cui to resign from the phase to atone for his sins." Immediately another man came up to mend the knife.

"This matter was a decision made by the ministers together at the beginning, in the past, you didn't praise each other, but now we are to blame the official alone." Cui Jidao's face was red, and he turned his gaze to Lu Chengxu, it seemed that he proposed this plan first, right?

Seeing that the war was intensifying, Wang Xun had to stand up and speak, he didn't want to defend Cui Jidao, but if Cui Jidao was ousted from the phase, maybe it would be his turn to be the prime minister; If it was put in the original reign of Li Gui, of course, he would be happy to see it, but now, the prime minister's throne that the former ministers sought after was like a red-hot iron, and sitting on it would cost him his life, and he was not interested in it at all.

"Everyone, listen to me, now is not the time to be held responsible, let's think about how to resist the northern army." Wang Xun didn't participate in this matter at all in the past, coupled with the prestige of the Langya Wang clan, the court finally quieted down for a while, Wang Ji frowned and continued, "The most important thing at the moment is to rescue the tens of thousands of soldiers blocked in the road first, and now if you can save a little more vitality, you will have more hope of winning." ”

Lu Chengxu also hurriedly walked to the map and looked carefully, "There is no city near the place where tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are camped, only... There are only a few dock forts of the Zheng family, it is best to let the foot soldiers enter the dock fort for a while, and as for the cavalry, they can rush to the state and county in front of them, which may work. ”

"Several of the forts of my Zheng family here are in disrepair, the walls of the fort are dilapidated, and there is no food and grass in the fort, I am afraid that it will not be able to accommodate so many soldiers." Zheng Jiran, the head of the Zheng family and the head of the household, shook his head again and again, what are you kidding, if it is because of the collection of remnants of the army to attack, then these dock forts of their Zheng family will definitely be destroyed.

"Lord Zheng, don't you think that if you don't take in these soldiers, the army of the northern captives will let go of these dock forts?" Wang Xunna didn't know what he was thinking, and immediately exposed his lies mercilessly, "I have also seen these dock forts when I returned to Henan Road from the capital in the past, the walls are high and the ditches are deep, and the area is extremely wide, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers. ”

"Lord Zheng, your dock forts are extremely eye-catching, even if there are no these soldiers, Yuan Zhang will definitely send troops to attack, and you may be able to stop it with the regimental training in your fort?" Lu Chengxu also followed to help, "It's better to take in these soldiers temporarily, with their help, the chances of holding the dock fort can be greater." ”

But no matter what they said, Zheng Jiran refused to agree to Fang Cai's excuse, because he still held on to the luck of what happened, if he didn't take in these soldiers, then Yuan Zhang might still let go of Wubao because he was in a hurry to pursue and rout, but if he dared to take in these soldiers, Yuan Zhang would definitely attack; In his opinion, no matter whether there is any help from these soldiers, the dock fort will not be able to stop Yuan Zhang's army, so it is better to keep it out and bet that Yuan Zhang will not take these dock forts to heart.

Zheng Jiran was in a hurry, and he directly pointed out that there were other families' dock forts not far from a hundred years away, so why couldn't these places accept soldiers? The ministers of the other families immediately shook their heads, either saying that the dock fort had been abandoned or that it was too dilapidated to defend, and that no one would take out their own dock fort to take in these soldiers.

"Even if you can keep these dock forts now, when Yuan Zhang occupies the entire Henan Province, will he still let you go?" Wang Xun said that in the end, he scolded directly, "The erector is not enough and conspiracy!" Just wait for Yuan Zhang to cut off your heads! ”

He is now very glad that he made arrangements in advance, and sent Wang Ji and the rest of the promising juniors to other forces, even if the small court of King Qi was destroyed and Henan Province was occupied by Yuan Zhang, they Langya Wang clan could still keep a few seeds, and there may not be no chance of a comeback in the future, as for the other families, just watch them perish.

Zheng Jiran and the others had other ideas, even if those prefectures and counties were occupied by Yuan Zhang, he definitely didn't have time to pay attention to the dock forts scattered around for a while; And they can hide in the dock fort and wait for the changes, maybe Yuan Zhang will be defeated by Li You in the future, and then they can come out of the dock fort to clean up the remnants of the forces.

For them, there is not much difference between supporting the King of Qi and defecting to the King of Fu, no matter who becomes the emperor, they need these families to help him sit on the throne, and it is not a choice to take refuge in Yuan Zhang, people like Yuwen Yisheng and Chen Jing'an can be in a high position in the Northern Yuan, why can't we?

However, whether it is Yuan Zhang or Li You, it seems that there is no obligation to act according to their ideas, Yuan Zhang was deeply persecuted by the family in the past, and he has no good impression of these high-ranking wealthy families, even if he wants to attract talents, he often thinks more about which scholars from poor families, as for these families, let them perish.

And Li You hated these guys who only knew how to fight for power and profit, if they were allowed to occupy King Fu's court, it would probably not be long before it would become the same scene as when Yang Jiefu was in power, and he couldn't bear it; It is better to let such a decadent class disappear into the long river of history as soon as possible.
