Kyogoku Doku's three attacks on the city, the greatest achievement. It was to let the Han army have a city to stand on in the land of Mengyuan.

Even though the city is small, it is enough to hoard grain and grass and garrison soldiers.

Turn. For Meng Yuan's side, it's a bad thing.

Northern. On the flat avenue leading directly to the capital of Mengyuan.

The news of the war has spread throughout Mengyuan. Commercial activities in Mengyuan have almost stopped, and there are few pedestrians on the avenue.

Several fast horses, rolling up the dust, galloped away in the direction of Dadu. The knight on the horse carried the battle report, and his face was extremely solemn.

Soon after.

Mengyuan Dadu. Imperial Palace, inside the Military Aircraft Division.

Emperor Jin Jingtai was dressed in the crown of Emperor Mengyuan and sat on the throne. On the left and right are two little eunuchs with clear eyebrows, holding the dust in their arms.

Below is the Minister of Military Aircraft headed by the emperor's uncle, Prince Regent and Prince Haida of Kton.

Everyone's faces were ugly, and some couldn't help but show anger.

This made Jin Jingtai very uneasy. Although he is a young emperor, it is too early to evaluate him. But as the saying goes, three years old sees old. Judging by the years after Kim Kyung-tae ascended the throne.

The new emperor is not a hero.

If it weren't for the emperor's uncle, regent Haida, to support the scene, Meng Yuan would have been torn apart long ago.

"Damn idiot. The imperial court had a clear military order to keep the city in check. But they went out of the city to fight. Not to mention the loss of troops, even the city was lost. Brother Wang. He ordered the entire family of the five to be put to death as an example. ”

Haida's own brother, Jin Yuanrui, the king of the county, stood up, showed an angry face, and said to his brother.

Haida immediately stood up and said to Jin Jingtai, "Your Majesty." What he said was very true. Please give your majesty an order to kill the whole family of these five people. ”

"Order." Jin Jingtai listened to everything in every detail, and nodded very obediently in agreement.

Those who do not obey military orders must be severely punished. Otherwise, how can the morale of the army be suppressed?

The execution of the family members of the five people was just a normal operation.

But the incident has already happened, and after the responsible person has been dealt with, it must be remedied.

"Lord Wang. According to the original plan. The three cities are a line of defense. With a strong city, the army and the people work together. How can you keep it for a year and a half. Now that the city has been breached, there is a hole in the defenses. ”

"There are two cities left, and it is difficult to support them alone. Are we going to the rescue? Minister of Military Aircraft Chang Gui showed a serious look on his face, turned his head and asked in a deep voice.

Haida's eyes flashed, and he didn't answer, but looked at the ministers of military aircraft and asked, "What do you think?" ”

With that, he sat back, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, and took a few sips of tea.

"If you don't save it. Of course, the city is difficult to protect. If rescued. Then you have to send a large army, and then it is possible to have a decisive battle with the Han army. ”

"Let's be honest. We have a lot to lose. One of the military ministers shook his head and sighed.

"Grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige. Four years have passed since the Battle of the Yellow Dragon. We've regrouped our capabilities. There were 100,000 main battle troops, and 20,000 iron cavalry of the Slavs to help. The commander is still King Keton. How could it be possible to lose? ”

Jin Yuanrui immediately retorted, and then said to Haida: "Brother Wang." Let's fight. ”

Haida put down the teacup and muttered for a long time, before he looked up and shook his head at Jin Yuanrui and said, "You're right. ”

"We've regrouped our capabilities. Now our strength. No weaker than during the Battle of the Yellow Dragon. ”

"But strategically, we have no room for manoeuvre. Defeat again. Mengyuan Jiangshan, the ancestral foundation, not only has to be handed over. ”

"Our royal family, the Jin family, I'm afraid we will also have to be ruined."

"Now is not the time for a decisive battle."

Jin Yuanrui opened his mouth when he heard this, and he was very unconvinced, but this was his eldest brother's words, and he was helpless, so he sat back sullenly.

"The so-called war. It's not a city-by-city gain. Beta City and Ninggu City are difficult to protect. Then you don't have to protect it. Use them to weaken the number of the Han army. ”

"The Han army did not leave any prisoners and civilians prisoners and dogs of the Mengyuan Dynasty. Now the hearts of the people are here. Military and civilian cooperation. If the two cities are well defended, the Han army can be killed or wounded by 20,000 or 30,000 people. It's worth it. ”

Haida smiled coldly and said again.

The Minister of Military Aircraft, who spoke out against the dispatch of troops for a decisive battle, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Yes."

All the ministers of military aircraft bowed their hands together and responded.

............

Jiang County.

Royal Palace, Mandarin Palace. When the cabinet ministers got the news, they went to the room next to the hall and sat down. Although the room is small, it also has a throne.

The throne hangs empty.

Liu Zhixing sat on the courtier's seat. Chen Jiagui, the person in charge of the Imperial City Division, stood in the central position, bowed his hand to the cabinet ministers of the current dynasty, and said in a deep voice: "Princes. ”

"The spies under my command who are in charge of the affairs of the Chu State have sent back the news. Xiong Wuself wrote to the court of Chu State, indicating that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold. Request for troops. ”

Liu Zhixing and the others glanced at each other, their expressions unchanged.

The situation is not set in stone.

Rather, it changes as the situation develops.

Because before the state of Chu made peace with the state of Han. Xiong Wuself was deprived of the right to send troops to war. The court of Chu had no choice.

The Han Kingdom is too strong.

Fourteen garrisons of 10,000 households garrisoned the cities of Liaodong.

The defending side is advantageous.

And the garrison of the Han army is ten thousand households, although the field army is first-class. But also Han soldiers. To defend the homeland and the country, the will to fight is very tenacious.

Not to mention 140,000 households. It is four thousand households guarding Liaodong. The 80,000 horse infantry army without me could not be defeated.

Since you can't beat it, don't fight it. So as not to offend the Han Kingdom, the two sides went to war again.

Of course, Xiong Wuself also knows that he can't fight. But as a good general, he knows it well. If Meng Yuan dies, the state of Chu is in danger.

Xiong Wuwu wrote to the court of Chu State, and it was also common sense to ask for troops.

"According to the mediocrity and incompetence of the Chu court, it shouldn't be a big problem. But not afraid of 10,000, just in case. Envoys can be dispatched to give valuables such as treasures, pearls, ginseng, furs, and deer antlers. Stabilize the court of Chu and reiterate that Han has no ambitions for Chu. ”

Liu Zhixing pinched his beard, and after groaning for a while, he raised his head and said to his colleagues.

"Seconded." Gongsun Sang said immediately. The other three also gave up their hands.

"Who's going to do that?" Liu Zhixing nodded, glanced at everyone, and asked.

Cui Wushuang reacted very quickly, and arched his hand and said, "Chen Kun in the Ministry of Rites." Able to take on big responsibilities. ”

"Hmm. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of this. Liu Zhixing bowed slightly and said decisively.

War is an art.

Unless there is no way, it is not a good thing to be the enemy of the world.

Previous. The State of Chu took the initiative to send people to repair it. Wu Nian borrowed a donkey to go downhill and got off to a good start. Now Liu Zhixing is handling this matter with ease.

Bear without me?

It is indeed a 10,000-strong enemy, a strong general.

With 80,000 horse infantry troops, the combat effectiveness is considerable. But the brain is rotten, what's the use of light and claws?

Let him suffocate to death.
