On the morning of the second day, in the Taihe Palace, the news of the emergency in the south had spread throughout the entire Wudu City, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were arguing about this matter.

Emperor Zhu Song sat on the top of the main hall, his face was gloomy, and he was lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Zhu Song raised his head, looked at the messenger kneeling in the hall, and asked, "How is the battle situation ahead?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, before the subordinates, the barbarians had already captured Peacock Mountain, although King Pingnan transported all the baggage of Peacock Mountain into Shahe Pass in time, but the barbarians still mined iron ore in the mines of Peacock Mountain and began to forge weapons and armor on their own."

"Immediately afterwards, the barbarians sent 100,000 troops to storm Shahe Pass, and the 50,000 defenders in Shahe Pass resisted desperately and repelled wave after wave of attacks by the barbarians, but the defenders also suffered heavy casualties."

"The prince of Houpingnan led 150,000 reinforcements to launch a sneak attack on the barbarian camp, but he fell into the tricks of the barbarians and was seriously wounded, and more than half of the 150,000 troops were killed and wounded, so he had no choice but to retreat to Shahe Pass."

"Now the army in Shahe Pass is less than 80,000 people, and the number is still drastically reduced under the fierce attack of the barbarians, I implore Your Majesty to send reinforcements, if it is too late, Yunzhou will be in danger."

Zhu Song had already heard of these situations once, and it was undoubtedly for the Manchu civil and military forces to let the messenger say it again at this time.

In fact, after listening to the messenger's report, everyone had a conclusion in their hearts, even if the emperor sent reinforcements at this time, I am afraid it would be too late.

Zhu Song really couldn't understand that Zhu Chong, the king of Pingnan, was also a battle-hardened veteran, and 200,000 troops were more than enough to defend Shahe Pass.

Zhu Chong should hold on to the city, why did he go out of the city to meet the enemy?

Not to mention the loss of soldiers, even he almost lost his life.

You must know that Zhu Chong's 150,000 troops were all gathered from all over Yunzhou, which means that now except for Shahe Pass, there are not many defenders left in all parts of Yunzhou.

Once the Shahe Pass is broken, the entire Yunzhou will no longer have the power to resist, and it will soon be occupied by the barbarians.

After the fall of Yunzhou, Sichuan, Yang, and Guizhou will all be exposed to the blades of the barbarians, and then the entire southern part of Daqian will be in danger.

(Daqian is a parallel world of another time and space, and the place names are all fictional, so don't substitute them for reality.) ）

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, the fall of Yunzhou is inevitable, it is better for us to simply give up Yunzhou, let the king of Pingnan withdraw into Sichuan with the rest of the army to recuperate and rectify, and then fight the barbarians." Wu Xiaxian stood up and said.

"Fart, Wu Xiaxian, you don't know how to fight, just stand aside, Yunzhou borders Sichuan, Yang, and Guizhou, and the total number of defenders in the three states is only 100,000, even if you add the army of King Pingnan, how many people are there, can you hold such a long front?"

"The barbarians have an army of 400,000, once Yunzhou is lost, they can drive straight in, and it won't be long before the Sanzhou front will be completely defeated, with enough grain and grass in the south, I will have no power to resist!" Wei Guogong Lan said angrily.

After years of war and turmoil, the army suffered heavy casualties, the number of troops dropped sharply, and in addition, the state treasury could not make ends meet, and military spending was decreasing year by year.

In addition to the border lands, many state capitals have very few defenders, and some states add up to only 20,000 or 30,000 defenders.

Although there are 100,000 iron-footed troops in Sichuanzhou, they have already gone north to defend against the Xiongnu not long ago, and it will definitely be too late to return to help in such a short time.

"Wei Guogong is right, if the Xiongnu take the opportunity to attack the north again, I am afraid that the foundation of my great cadres for hundreds of years will be destroyed in one fell swoop, this method is very stupid." Changtian, the Duke of Eguo, also spoke.

"Then according to the opinion of the two princes, what should we do?" Wu Xia asked with a cold snort.

As soon as Wu Xia's words came out, Chang Tian, the Duke of Eguo, suddenly fell into deep thought.

Lan Wushu hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said to Zhu Song: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, Yunzhou cannot be lost, we must rescue, first mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized in Sichuan, Yang, and Guizhou, and quickly support Yunzhou." ”

"Weichen will lead the Zhenguan army as a second-way reinforcement, as long as Yunzhou can hold out for half a month, then as soon as Weichen's Zhenguan army arrives, it will be called that Nanban will not return!"

As soon as Lan Wuxian's words came out, many military attachés present nodded secretly, and at present, this is the best method.

Now there are not a few large armies left, and they all have their own garrison tasks, and only the invincible Zhenguan army can be mobilized to support Yunzhou.

And the Zhenguan army not only has 100,000 people, but also the elite of the elite, presumably it should not be a problem to deal with the barbarians.

At this moment, Lu Lin suddenly snorted coldly and said: "Wei Guogong also said just now, the total number of defenders in Sichuan, Yang, and Guizhou is only 100,000, you let them all support Yunzhou now, in case Yunzhou still doesn't hold it, when the barbarians come, won't Sanzhou not even have the strength to resist at all, and can only watch Sanzhou fall into the hands of thieves?" ”

"Oh? What is General Lu's opinion? Lan Wushu asked with a raised brow.

Although Lu Lin is just a squire, his martial arts are not weak, and he is also a famous general, so Lan Wushu still has to give him a little face.

Lu Lin glanced at the eldest grandson and smiled, and said: "Now we will definitely not be able to defeat us, there is only one way, and that is to seek peace, the reason why the barbarians attack Daqian is that they want to plunder resources, as long as we satisfy them, they will naturally retreat!" ”

As soon as Lu Lin's words came out, many military attachés present showed anger on their faces and scolded Lu Lin for being a traitor to the country and seeking glory!

Lan Wushu also frowned, he never expected that Lu Lin, a military general, the founder of the Lu family gun, would actually say such spineless words.

Hearing the abusive words around him, a trace of bitterness also appeared on Lu Lin's face, in fact, this was not his original intention, but the meaning of the eldest grandson's smile.

But there is no way, as Changsun Xiao's dog, he has to say what he wants to say for Changsun Xiao.

Sure enough, in the next second, Changsun Xiao stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Lord Lu's words are quite reasonable, and the loss of Yunzhou is only a matter of time, rather than fighting to the death with the barbarians and causing greater losses, we might as well stop the loss in time." ”

"The barbarians have always lived in a wild land, they have never seen much of the world, their appetite must be much smaller than that of the Huns, and they can exchange money for peace, so why not?"

Listening to Changsun Xiao's words, Zhu Song couldn't help but sneer, Changsun Xiao said this is nothing more than the same as when facing the Xiongnu, wanting to make a fortune.

The first emperor was under the influence of the eldest grandson Xiao, and asked the Xiongnu for peace again and again, and he didn't know how much money and materials he gave to the Xiongnu.

As a result, the Huns grew stronger and stronger, and their appetites became more and more growing.

If Zhu loosens this head, then in the future, the barbarians will be like the Huns, more and more, land cutting, compensation, all are indispensable!

Until one day Da Qian could not satisfy their appetite, they would turn their heads and destroy Da Qian.

And with the character of the eldest grandson Xiao, he will definitely take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the barbarians, and at that time, Zhu Song will be even more helpless against him.

Zhu Song, as the emperor of Daqian, would rather die than compromise with the eldest grandson, let alone bow to outsiders!
