Chapter 403: Stabilize the overall situation
King Zhenbei used to have a lot of complaints about the imperial court, not to mention that now is still the weakest time for the imperial court.
Will he really listen to Xuan and transfer troops to support Qiandu?
This question is undoubtedly a question mark.
No one is sure, and no one dares to pin their lives on the thought of King Zhenbei.
Therefore, the hearts of the people who have just stabilized are about to shake again.
Seeing this, Wei Qing glared fiercely at the person who had just spoken.
Said helplessly: "Everyone, don't think too much, the king of Zhenbei will definitely come!" β
"Because, the county lord of Anyang is still in Qiandu!"
Rumble!
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the officials in the Qiande Hall were slashed and empowered.
The hesitation and hesitation in my heart disappeared in an instant.
Yes, how did they forget that the county lord of Anyang is also in Qiandu!
If the Qiandu City is broken, not only will they not be able to live, but the only daughter of the king of Zhenbei will not be able to live!
And up and down the big cadres, who doesn't know that the county lord of Anyang is the heart of the king of Zhenbei.
When Emperor Renxuan and the imperial court wanted to summon the county lord of Anyang to the Qiandu as a hostage, the king of Zhenbei almost rebelled because of this incident.
Now, how could he sit back and watch the county lord of Anyang be killed?
So, King Zhenbei will definitely come!
Seeing this, Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
The hearts of the people are united again!
The huge court of Daqian wanted to take a woman as a hostage in exchange for the rescue of the king of Zhenbei.
It's a great shame to say it!
He was originally a scholar, and he took his own name very seriously.
But at this point, there is really no way.
Compared with the great cadres, their own reputation is really nothing.
"However, even if the king of Zhenbei comes to help."
"We don't have any generals to defend the city!"
Another civil servant objected.
However, this time, Wei Qing was not annoyed, but was a little happy.
Because this time, the feedback given to him by the officials is no longer passive and fearful. Instead, they began to actively think about how to defend, which is undoubtedly a huge change in mentality!
Wei Qing lowered his head and muttered, "Aren't there still a few military attaches present, why did Your Excellency say this?" β
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the officials in the Qiande Hall instantly focused on a few military attachΓ©s.
Now the military attache who remains behind, named Zhao Hao, is in his forties, and he was supposed to fight.
But he was left by Emperor Tianshun, why?
It's just because of its ability.
A martial art is only worthy of reaching the peak of true qi, and the ability to lead troops to fight is only decent, and he has commanded a battle group of 10,000 people at most.
No more, and it won't be enough
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, shook his head, and said: "I, I can only command 10,000 people, and the remaining 20,000 people, I'm afraid I can't command them." β
"Moreover, Qiandu has a total of four city walls, among which the overall planning and scheduling are all difficult problems. I, I'm in charge of at most one wall. β
When Wei Qing heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
Good guy, it's just a matter of guarding a city wall, and you dare to ask for 10,000 soldiers.
Where did you get that face?
Putting the safety of Daqian in the hands of such a person, let alone someone else, it was him Wei Qing himself, and he was a little unconfident in his heart.
No, we still have to find a general who can fight well, and it is best to have rich experience in defending the city, to lead these 30,000 troops.
After all, there are only 30,000 people in the entire Qiandu now, and good steel has to be used on good blades, and the life of any soldier must not be wasted in vain!
But when he looked around, he was mostly civilian.
Attache... But all the military attaches who could fight were called away by Emperor Tianshun.
So much so that such a defeat has consumed countless military resources of Daqian.
Another part of the military resources are firmly in the hands of the king of Zhenbei, and the current Qiandu seems to be really unavailable.
Like Zhao Hao, he can be regarded as tall among the short people!
What to do?
Wei Qing pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, thinking of a person who had been subconsciously ignored by civil and military officials!
Hurriedly spoke: "Hurry up and go to Fengche Hou Mansion!" Please come to the court with Hou Ye!"
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers' eyes lit up again.
That's right! And this son of the general!
How did they forget!
No one will deny Huo Qiji's military talent, not to mention anything else, just based on his fierce record as the champion Hou of Laozi, his weight in the hearts of hundreds of officials is much heavier than that of Zhao Hao, an unreliable one!
It's just that Huo Qiji, like Huo Ranlan, was infected with lung disease before, and he looked like he was dying soon.
In such a state, let alone killing the enemy in battle, even horseback riding is a problem.
But now it's different, this Fengche Zihou doesn't know what he did, the lung disease that made many famous doctors from all over the world sigh and sighed, and he was cured by himself!
Now, it is naturally more suitable for him to command the defensive battle in Qiandu.
Even Zhao Hao himself breathed a sigh of relief, Huo Qi was fine.
If such a big thing falls on him, once it is not handled well, let Beiyancheng break through the Qiandu, then he will be a sinner for the ages!
It's good now, even if the city is broken, it has little to do with him, and if the people of the world want to blame, they will only blame Huo Qiji.
After doing these two things, Wei Qing set his eyes on Yang Huai and pondered.
Yang Huai seemed to feel Wei Qing's gaze, turned his head, and asked, "Is there anything else to do with Wei Xiang?" β
When Wei Qing heard this, he nodded: "Since Mrs. Yang asked, then Wei Qing will be blunt." β
"But all the big families and big families have government soldiers."
"Now our garrison is only 30,000, and in the face of the 300,000 troops from Beiyan, there is a huge difference in strength, and we are really a little stretched in terms of troops."
"I don't know if you are willing to let the soldiers of the clan also participate in the war?"
As soon as Wei Qing's words were finished, the officials of the family faction turned their eyes to Yang Huai and Duan Qingyan.
These two, one is the imperial prince, and the other is the imperial historian, and they are the absolute core of the entire family faction.
When Yang Huai heard this, he sighed, but did not refuse, but nodded and said: "The national disaster is at the head, if the city is broken, we will naturally not be able to leave." β
"It's just a soldier, if Wei Xiang wants it, use it."
When Wei Qing heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, there was a sentence he didn't say, his attitude just now that whoever dared to abandon the city and leave would behead anyone was made for Yang Huai to see.
Why?
Because the family is very profitable!
If they were allowed to escape, they would have gone!
Leave no trace of affection!
But if they know that it is impossible to walk, then they will put on a correct posture and contribute to the defense of the city.
"Another thing, 30,000 troops spend a lot of food."
"When Your Majesty set out on the expedition, he took away all the grain and grass in the treasury, leaving only a small spare grain and grass, which is now used to supply 30,000 people, which is obviously insufficient."
"I wonder if Mrs. Yang can donate some food?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of many officials became strange.
I think that at the beginning, the family factions headed by Yang Huai dared to break with Emperor Renxuan directly because of some food.
Even if you Wei Qing are the prime minister of the head of the hundred officials, you won't have more face than Emperor Renxuan!
How dare you say this?
