Imperial Palace, Taihe Palace.

Today's Taihe Hall is extremely crowded, and all the officials above the fifth grade are present.

In addition, except for Concubine Zhao, who was closed, and Wei Cheng, who was in prison, everyone else was also present.

It can be said that the royal magnates of the entire Southern Wei Dynasty have gathered here.

In the whole hall, solemn and solemn.

No one expected that it had not been half a day since the last meeting, and so soon there was bad news - Chuzhou City was lost!

"God really bless Southern Wei!" In the crowd, from time to time, there were some junior members of the royal family crying, and the tone seemed to be about to die.

The civil and military officials are not young, and they are not too out of shape at this time, but they are all silent and do not speak.

"Guys, if you have any plans, say it now." Xu Kailin took the lead in breaking the stiff atmosphere.

The civil and military officials glanced at each other and looked at each other for a long time, but Wai Lang, a member of the military department who was still relatively bold, stepped forward and said with his hand.

"All Southern Wei people know that Chuzhou City is the gateway to my Southern Wei Dynasty, and it is the lifeblood. The city of Chuzhou is gone, and the huge Chuzhou has no danger to defend. At that time, the enemy will be outnumbered, and the enemy army will drive straight in, and we will even lose the capital!"

Everyone nodded their heads, which was why they panicked.

The city of Chuzhou is gone, and they are very likely to lose the country!

"Then what does Aiqing suggest?" Wei Li asked.

"I think it...... The minister thought that he should abandon Chuzhou and the capital, immediately retreat to Jiaozhou, and use the mountains and forests of Jiaozhou to defend against the enemy!" Wai Lang, a member of the military department, said stubbornly.

Abandoning Chuzhou and the capital is equivalent to giving up three-quarters of the land and people!

But at least, they can retreat to the safer state of Jiaozhou.

Such a ridiculous plan caused Shen Yunfan's face to sink.

But unexpectedly, several officials nodded and agreed, "This is indeed a proper strategy, we can keep our heads in the dark and wait for an opportunity to counterattack!"

Most of the remaining members of the Southern Wei royal family were juniors, all of them were as timid as mice, and at this time they also nodded and said, "This method is safe!"

Xu Kailin rolled his eyes and looked at Shen Yunfan.

Shen Yunfan also understood what he meant, so he stepped forward with a cold face, walked up to Wai Lang, a member of the military department, and frowned:

"Say what you just said, say it again."

Hearing his gloomy tone, the cold sweat of the soldier Wai Lang flowed down, and after holding on for a moment, he knelt on the ground suddenly.

"Prime Minister, I know that you are powerful, but now is the time for the Southern Wei Dynasty to survive, you don't need to use your power to suppress me!" He straightened his waist and said aloud, "The strategy I am talking about is the way to preserve the lifeline of the Southern Wei Dynasty!"

"Instead of a big defeat and then retreat to Jiaozhou, it is better to retreat now and still retain our vitality. As long as the vitality is not damaged, we can wait for the opportunity to counterattack when the time comes!"

"Finished?"

"After that, even if you kill me, everything I say and do is for the sake of Southern Wei!" Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, was righteous and stern.

The surrounding royal family members were overjoyed when they heard this, and echoed their words: "My lord's loyalty is the luck of my Southern Wei!"

Some officials also advised, "Actually, this is not a bad solution."

The group spoke one after another, wanting to put pressure on Shen Yunfan.

Even Wei Li was a little shaken in his heart at this moment.

But Shen Yunfan didn't eat this at all, his face was indifferent, and he kicked away the soldier Wailang and scolded: "Go to ***!"

"Prime Minister, if you have something to say, don't do anything in the court......," Wei Li persuaded.

"You mean, do you think what he said works?"

"I...... I don't know." Wei Li didn't dare to take this stubble.

Shen Yunfan stared at the staff on the ground and scolded, "Three-quarters of the land and people of the Southern Wei Dynasty, you say throw it away? When you retreat to Jiaozhou and the enemy forces are pressuring the border, where else can you retreat, retreat to the sea or retreat to the mountains?"

"We can take advantage of the risk to hold the ...... of Jiaozhou"

"And then

Watching others grow stronger and stronger, we are guarding such a small area in Jiaozhou and waiting for death?" Shen Yunfan glared.

This foreigner seemed to be talking wildly, but in fact, he didn't think about the way out at all, he just coaxed and wanted to run away first. But escaping is a dead end.

Jiaozhou is such a big place, once it retreats, it is a cocoon and self-restraint.

This group of people only knew that they surrendered and fled, which was similar to a certain dynasty in history that Shen Yunfan had studied, and if they fled south, they would not be able to escape the fate of the country in the end!

After a painful scolding, everyone couldn't refute it, and the audience was silent for a while.

But at this moment, a gloomy voice sounded.

"Lord Shen, what a great majesty."

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw the gorgeously dressed Concubine Zhao walking in from outside the hall, Yingying's waist and plump buttocks twisting, which was quite eye-catching.

"Niangniang's head shrinkage disease is finally cured?" Shen Yunfan smiled coldly when he saw her.

Concubine Zhao's sarcastic face sank, but she didn't lose her temper, she just continued: "Lord Wailang is just worried about the country and the people, didn't you chill the hearts of the subjects of the Southern Wei Dynasty by beating people like this?"

deliberately sang the opposite tune, and Concubine Zhao's face was a little more proud.

Two days ago, her daughter Wei Cheng was arrested, and she knew that Shen Yunfan wanted to deal with her. Now Zheng Guo suddenly attacked, but it just gave her a chance to fight back!

Now that Concubine Zhao is the backer, the outsider has confidence on the ground, and immediately said stiffly: "Then Prime Minister, tell me, how to fight this battle? The opponent's strength may be twice as large as ours! Could it be that we still expect Xilin Prefecture to send troops to help?"

Zheng's team has at least 100,000, while the entire Beiyu army has only 60,000 in total, and the disadvantage is indeed huge.

As for Xilin Prefecture, they have mountains to defend and are self-contained, so they are bound to stand by and watch, and it is impossible for them to send troops to Qin Wang.

Therefore, everyone thought that the battle would be lost, so they moved the idea of fleeing.

Now they want to ask, why did Shen Yunfan fight this battle!?

Concubine Zhao also stared at Shen Yunfan with interest, and said with a smile, "Yes, Lord Shen, why are you? Do you want all of us to gamble with you and die on the battlefield?"

At this time, even Xu Kailin's face became a little ugly. He just felt that he couldn't run away, but he didn't know how to win the battle.

In the crowd, even Cao Zhi and others, who trusted Shen Yunfan, had some doubts in their eyes at this time.

Seeing Shen Yunfan being questioned by everyone, Wei Qing couldn't help but sweat.

However, Shen Yunfan's expression was as usual, he just glanced at everyone and said lightly: "Now that the Southern Wei Dynasty is at a critical juncture, only a battle to the death can find the only way to survive. If you ask me how to win, then I will tell you......."

In the midst of everyone's gaze, he paused, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

"The Imperial Expedition!"
