Xiao Junjue led a group of men to rush to Yunzhou, except for the cavalry, the rest of the soldiers were expected to arrive in seven days.

Yunzhou Taishou Nie Chengfeng had been waiting for a long time, greeted him outside the city gate, and when he saw the king of Chu, he hurriedly led him into the city.

"Lord Wang, Xiaguan has been waiting for a long time, if you don't come again, Xiaguan really doesn't know what to do. ”

"What's the situation?" On the way, Xiao Junjue received a letter that Yunzhou had been attacked twice.

"It's not good, the first two casualties were heavy, and we are desperately defending the city, just waiting for the arrival of the prince and reinforcements. Nie Chengfeng sighed lowly, Luo Luo was strong and brave, but the soldiers in Yunzhou had never participated in the war, and they were immediate.

Nie Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, and asked Xiao Junjue, "Xia Guan has sent a letter to the court ten days ago, asking for reinforcements, but he has not replied to the letter so far, Wang Ye looks, do you want to send another reminder?"

Xiao Junjue didn't speak, Rong Yao interjected, he snorted coldly, and said, "I don't think Nie Taishou needs to bother with that, isn't Bicheng the best example?"

Xiao Junjue glanced at him and reprimanded, "Don't lie." ”

Rong Yao pursed his mouth and said, "Nie Taishou is talking nonsense when I am talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”

Nie Chengfeng has been guarding Yunzhou for 20 years, and in his heart, the people of Yunzhou, and even the grass and trees in Yunzhou, he sees them as precious. What Rong Yao said just now, although it was unintentional, he listened to it with heart. How could he not know that Bicheng is a lesson from Yunzhou's past.

But Yunzhou is a little better than Bicheng, Bicheng is a separate city, and Yunzhou is within the domain. It seems that now, if you want to keep Yunzhou, I am afraid that you can only point to the king of Chu in front of you.

Nie Chengfeng looked at Xiao Junjue and said, "Xiaguan has heard that the prince is like a god with soldiers, and with the prince in charge, Xiaguan can also rest assured." There are a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yunzhou, all of which are dispatched by the prince. It's just that the lower officials have to worry that in the future, if the stalemate continues, Luo Luo will always be strong······" The latter words speak for themselves.

He also analyzed Bashu's soldiers and horses before, even if they were all transferred, they would not be as good as Luo Luo's 500,000 army. And it is impossible to transfer all of them to Yunzhou.

Xiao Junjue glanced at him lightly, walked to the upper seat, and sat calmly, "With this king here, Nie Taishou doesn't need to panic, this king has his own countermeasures." ”

He knew in his heart that he couldn't count on Changge City, and he didn't want to count on it. It's not that he hasn't fought battles with fewer victories, not to mention that although the number of people is now outnumbered by the other party, at least they occupy important places, and it is impossible to attack the barrier of Bashu for a while.

Now there are only two plans in front of him, one is to fight, but Xiao Junjue is unwilling to waste manpower and financial resources, so for now, he has to use another plan, which is to stick to it.

Have a tug-of-war with Rollo, as long as they don't attack, they won't fight back desperately, as long as it takes a long time, Rollo will definitely not be able to afford it.

The court really can't count on it, Xiao Yuheng and a few ministers are talking in the imperial study, and the little emperor sits on the dragon chair, jumping up and down on the dragon chair for a while, and yawning and falling asleep on the dragon case for a while.

Li Zhanpei, the right minister, glanced at the little emperor, sighed secretly, then looked at the king of Qi, arched his hand, and said bitterly: "Luo Luo is really too deceitful to capture Bicheng, and now he is fighting on Yunzhou." If he continues to run rampant like this, there will be endless disasters. King Qi, you must not let it go any longer, let's send troops to help. ”

He is the father-in-law of King Qi, and he dares to speak like this among so many people.

The others chimed in, "Yes, yes, the right minister is right. ”

The little emperor ascended the throne, King Qi was canonized as the regent of the emperor's father, and now he is in charge of all matters in the court, everyone looks at him to act, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, no one dares to refute, as if he is the emperor behind him.

Xiao Yuheng swept through everyone, and when he looked over, those who echoed lowered their heads.

"The Battle of Bicheng has caused me to lose 100,000 soldiers in Da Zhou, do you still want to lose 100,000 and 200,000?" he said in a calm voice, like an ice knife slashing across his neck, except for the right side, his back was already dripping with sweat.

Who doesn't know the means of King Qi, in recent years, as long as someone in the court opposes him, he will lose his head at the lightest, and at worst he will raid his family and exterminate the clan, and now their courtiers are like hanging their heads on their belts every day, for fear that they will provoke the King of Qi if they say the wrong word.

Xiao Yuheng's psychology has been distorted, and he now enjoys the feeling of being feared by everyone, with a sinister smile on his lips, "According to this king, although Luo Luo has taken Bicheng, he will not stay for long, and he will return to Luo Luo when they finish robbing the money." And if they send troops to support, the court doesn't know how much military spending will have to come up, and the gains outweigh the losses, so it is better to let them go. ”

There are still people who stand up trembling with their numb scalps, and Yu Chengen, the secretary of the military department, stood up and said: "However, in the long run, I am afraid that other countries will continue to provoke like Luo Luo, and then where is the deterrence of the Great Zhou?"

"What is Luo Luo, but he is a barbarian, how many defeats has he suffered in the past?

"But—"

"Huh?" Xiao Yuheng's eyes sharpened, and she pulled a long voice and looked at him.

Yu Shangshu hurriedly changed his words, only regretting that he was too much, "It's that the lower officials are too worried." ”

Xiao Yuheng smiled with a hint of satisfaction, smiled lightly, and with that laughter, Yu Shangshu couldn't help but tremble.

"This king sees that it is too early to say that it is too early to send troops, the king of Chu is the god of war of the Great Zhou, and this king believes that even if he has only one person left in his hands, he can turn defeat into victory. When the time comes, the king of Chu will not be able to do it, and it will not be too late for this king to send troops to take it back. ”

Several of his subordinates were all old ministers, but they didn't say a word at this time. It's not that I don't want to say it, I held my stomach and didn't dare to say it in front of King Qi.

But he kept sighing in his heart, if this Great Zhou was so filed in the hands of King Qi, he would be defeated sooner or later.

Xiao Yuheng's gaze fell on Yu Shangshu, who had a lot of words, "Yu Shangshu has always been a minister in the court, but he is a little older. Now that your children and grandchildren are holding important positions in the court, you don't have to worry about it anymore, you can go back and enjoy your old age in peace, and make fun of your grandchildren. ”

Yu Shangshu's face instantly turned pale, and he froze, looking at King Qi with empty eyes, for a long time, but he let out a breath of relief and arched his hand, "The old minister obeys the order." ”

It doesn't matter if he quits this court, he has been an official all his life, and it is estimated that he has reached the top to achieve this position. Today's court is no longer the court when Emperor Xiaojing was there, he retreated, and he also saved the court from worrying all day long.

Out of the imperial study, they bowed their heads and sighed one by one, and waited until they left the gate of the palace before everyone dared to speak.

"Yu Shangshu has been in the prime of life for three generations, and he is ······ Hey······" Someone sighed.

Yu Chengen waved his hand and smiled calmly, "It's also time, my body has not been able to do well in the past few years, King Qi is wise, knowing that I have long had the intention of retiring, and today is the fulfillment of me." ”

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, Yu Shangshu just said the wrong sentence and that's it, I'll wait ······" The first minister lowered his voice, "It seems that in the future, we will be more careful in everything and be cautious in our words and deeds." ”

Yu Chengen patted his colleague's shoulder, with a bitter taste on his lips, and whispered: "I'm withdrawing this time, brother, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for decades, and my brother advises you to withdraw as soon as possible." ”

After that, he swaggered into his sedan chair, today he figured it out, this court has nothing to love, it is better to return to his hometown as soon as possible, and leave the place of right and wrong. Even his children and grandchildren who are officials in the court must advise them to withdraw as soon as possible, so as not to burn himself in the sun, and maybe he can get a good death.

Xiao Yuheng did not send reinforcements, but sent a Qin to Yizhou, saying that he wanted to inspect the war ahead.

It's not good to send anyone, but to send a waste Liu Hanhao, it's not even an inspection, it's just to add to the blockage.

This guy relied on the identity of Lord Qincha, did not go to the front line to watch the battle, and ran to Yizhou City.

Anyway, he is also a Qincha Lord, and he can't say it if he doesn't send someone to greet him, so Rong Zhao asked Nighthawk to pick him up. However, it was explained in advance that only he and his retinue were allowed to enter the city, and that the soldiers he brought with him were to remain outside the city.

Rong Zhao thought it was ridiculous, he didn't send a single soldier to fight, but he gave a second ancestor with two thousand personal soldiers to follow. It can be seen how close the relationship between King Qi and the Liu family is, and he doesn't even send people from his own princess's mother's family, and he sends the queen mother's family to rely on it very much.

Nighthawk led 3,000 soldiers to block Liu Hanhao outside the city, Liu Hanhao saw this battle, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, rode on a high-headed horse, pinched his bloated waist with both hands, and acted arrogantly, "Who are you? Why don't you see your prince come to greet this official in person?"

Nighthawk arched his hand casually and said, "I've seen Lord Liu, and below is Nighthawk, the commander of the guards of the Chu Palace." The prince has rushed to Yunzhou to fight, so he can't come to greet Lord Qincha. ”

Liu Hanhao's eyelids rolled up, and his nose and eyes soared into the sky, "So you let such a little Luo come to greet this official?

He kicked off his horse, "But the official doesn't care so much, go, go into the city." ”

Nighthawk looked sideways, and three thousand guards went to Liu Hanhao in front of him.

"What do you mean? This official is Lord Qincha, and you dare to stop you from entering?"

"Lord Liu, forgive me, now Bashu is not peaceful, Wang Yehai is still fighting with soldiers and horses, before leaving, he ordered martial law three times and five times, and soldiers and horses other than Bashu are not allowed to enter, and the province has caused turmoil among the people, I hope Lord Liu understands. Nighthawk is neither humble nor arrogant, in his eyes, he didn't put the surname Liu in his eyes at all, and he was polite.

"Bold, you dare to stop the horses of the court with a small royal guard, are you tired of living?" Liu Hanhao stepped on the horse, stood up, and thought how majestic he was, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way and welcome the official into the city, otherwise the official will go back and sue the emperor and let your head fall to the ground!"

His body was too heavy for the horse to support, and before he could speak, he fell off his horse and fell on his stomach.
