"What? Say what you say, you say it again! ”

The three people in the side hall stood up and questioned the herald kneeling in front of the hall in disbelief.

The herald said it again, but he couldn't hold it out because he was tired from running all the way.

It can be seen how hard he has run all the way in order to spread the news to Xu Du as soon as possible.

Emperor Zhao Heng was a little confused, "He said that Gongsun Zhan had been killed by Wang Pingping?" ”

Cao De's head, which had just eased a little, exploded instantly, his body shook, and he hurriedly held the hand of the palace man next to him, so that he did not fall down with the herald.

The two of them looked at Sima Fang, who was still saying that Xu Jiajun had no movement, even if they had been friends for many years, when they suddenly heard such news at this moment, Cao De no longer trusted him.

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty...... What the old minister said, there is no half a lie! Sima Fang was stupid, but he still had to work hard to force himself to calm down and explain his innocence to Cao De.

"When the old minister left Youzhou, there was indeed no sign of sending troops over there, even on that big ship, the old minister also specially inquired secretly on the ship, otherwise, how could the old minister dare to go home and rest for two days before coming to report?"

Sima Fangyue explained, and his brain, which was stiffened by the news of Gongsun Zhan's death, became clearer and clearer.

There is only one right answer, and that is-

"They deliberately concealed me!" Sima Fang said in shock.

It's not that difficult to hide one thing, but how could Xu Jiajun get stuck in time so coincidentally?

Moreover, he has only been away from Youzhou for a month, in just one month, such a terrible event has happened in the north, how did Xu Jiajun do it?

Cao De glanced at Sima Fang deeply, and only looked at Sima Fang in a cold sweat, but he really didn't know anything, and his shocked expression was completely real.

"Prime Minister! Prime minister! Oh no! ”

A group of officials did not even have time to put on their official uniforms in a hurry, and they hurried into the palace, apparently receiving news from the north.

However, they know more than the three people in the hall!

"Jizhou has been taken by the Xu family!" Cao De's confidant shouted loudly, his voice hoarse.

The news spread too suddenly, they had never experienced such a rapid army in combat effectiveness, and when they heard the news, they only felt as if they were listening to a drama, which was very unreal.

In the side hall, Sima Fang was already kneeling on the ground, his whole body was full of shock and disbelief.

But he was still shaking the pot in his mouth, and scolded: "The Xu family army sent such a big movement, we didn't hear any news, what the hell are the spies planted in Jizhou!" ”

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and no one dared to respond.

Cao De and Zhao Heng sat in the first place, one with a pale face, and the other seemed to be out of the matter, so they just kept asking: "Jizhou has really been taken by the Xu family?" ”

The atmosphere in the main hall was depressing, and he was only waiting for the people who had been sent out to confirm the news to come back and report it.

Unexpectedly, there was no news from the people sent out, and another herald from the north came.

This time, the words spoken by the herald directly shocked the hundreds of officials of the Xudu Imperial Court and did not dare to come out.

"Newspaper—"

"Report to the Prime Minister, Your Majesty, the Xu family army has entered the capital of the northern capital!"

"The spies from the front came to report, the Northern Emperor fled from the Northern Capital in a panic with hundreds of officials, and went to Liangzhou in the west to seek refuge from the Ma family, and the people who stayed in the city and the Northern Empress who refused to leave to avenge their father were taken by the Xu family's army!"

"General Guan asks the prime minister, whether our army wants to send troops now, take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Xujia army is in the state and the Jizhou army is weak, attack Jizhou and recapture Jizhou!"

After the herald finished speaking, he looked up at the prime minister's expression, and saw that the prime minister's face, which was not very good, suddenly became iron-blue, his teeth were clenched, and green tendons burst out on the back of the hand holding the palace man, and the shape was very terrifying.

The herald hurriedly lowered his head, sweat rolling down his forehead and slamming it on the polished wooden floor.

The hall was quiet, and the subtle sound of sweating could be heard clearly, and the atmosphere was instantly suppressed to the peak.

"Go to Liangzhou!"

Cao De stood up tremblingly, and ordered sharply: "Let General Guan immediately lead the army to Xiliang, and be sure to catch Liangzhou before the Xu family's army!" ”

Snatching the four words of Liangzhou, he said that he was foaming at the mouth, and he was determined to win.

Cao De said in his heart, he must not lose Liangzhou again, otherwise, Cao Ying will be in danger!

The people of the Xu family army all failed to eat the elixir, and it only took less than a month to win the two states, how did they do it?

Thinking of this, Cao De immediately ordered someone to investigate, he wanted to know how Gongsun Chan died!

Seeing that the prime minister didn't seem to want to pursue himself, Sima Fang hurriedly got up from the ground and personally led the task of investigation.

But I don't know if I don't check this, and I'm really shocked when I check it.

First of all, it can take people to fly into the sky, and it can travel thousands of miles a day, and then there are earth-shattering iron bucket explosives, plus a new combat mode of the combination of land and air of the Xu family's army.

All these things together formed the ferocious combat effectiveness of the Xu Jiajun, which was a dimensionality reduction blow to the backward Gongsun Army.

As for the death of Gongsun Zhan, there is no suspense, Wang Pingping personally shot, who dares to compete?

Sima Fang reported the news he found to Cao De and the emperor, and the other courtiers were also in the palace.

When everyone heard the news that Sima Fang had brought back, their bodies trembled fiercely.

They couldn't help but think in their hearts how long they could hold out if the Xu Jiajun came to attack them and the others.

Yes, it's how long it lasts, not who wins and who loses.

Whether it is a flying hanging basket that travels thousands of miles a day or an earth-shattering explosive barrel, these are tantamount to devastating blows to mortals.

Once encountered, with their current military strength, how can they resist it?

"Can our shield withstand the bombardment of explosive barrels?" Cao De asked in a deep voice.

However, in just two days, his whole person looked much older, because of the head attack, there were herbs on his forehead, and the gray cloth strips were wrapped around his forehead a few times, which looked a little more miserable.

Sima Fang shook his head uncertainly, "What Wei Chen has seen in Youzhou before, the shield has no effect on explosives, only the high wall can block it." ”

But even if it is a high wall, it will be difficult to stand up to the continuous bombardment.

"Didn't you say that there weren't many explosives in the Xu family's army? Why did they use so much this time? Cao De asked.

Sima Fang pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly, "Prime Minister, they have the intention to hide from the minister, and the minister has no choice!" ”

"Zhongda has no status in the Xu family's army, it's just a dozen miscellaneous guys, he's just afraid that he will also be kept in the dark, alas~, it's all to blame the old minister for being useless."

"The minister is old, his brain is useless, the minister ......" Sima Fang suddenly knelt down solemnly, "The minister resigns, and I hope that His Majesty the Prime Minister will agree to the minister's request!" ”

Sima Fang thought in his heart: In the current situation, staying in Cao Yingzhong was afraid that he would cause trouble to his son who was in the Xu family's army, so he slipped away~
