The little eunuch crawled into the Jinluan Palace, causing all the officials to look panicked.

"Tell me slowly, what the hell is going on?"

Xu Jing's expression was calm, and Lang Lang opened his mouth to ask.

"A scout has brought back news, and is waiting outside the door for His Majesty to summon him."

The little eunuch eased his emotions and said tremblingly.

"Biography."

Xu Jingjing nodded, and Gonggong Cao on one side immediately shouted loudly.

Not long after, a young scout with dark black blood stains condensed and tired looked tired walked into the Jinluan Hall and knelt down at Xu Jing and shouted, "The last general White Horse Camp scout to meet Your Majesty!" Your Majesty......"

"You don't have to be far away, just talk about the military situation."

Xu Jing waved his hand to interrupt the scout's next honorific and asked quickly.

"Your Majesty, now the 300,000 rebels have gathered, and they have come straight to the capital from the south of the town."

"Our army's 30,000 soldiers are struggling to resist, and now the fortress is about to be breached, and it can only last for a few days at most. Once the pass is broken, it is only 300 miles away from the capital! ”

The scout 1510 will report the front army.

"How is that possible! My Daqian has always had a large number of soldiers and horses, and there are 100,000 people in the Dragon Cliff Fortress alone, how can it be that even a group of victims can't stop it? ”

"Could it be that all these years in your army have been eating head salaries and have never made up for it?"

Before Xu Jing could speak, Xiao Daoling rushed ahead and asked dissatisfiedly.

It is even more pointed out that the cadres have been hidden in the army and have become the rule of the head salary.

The so-called head pay is the behavior of the main general in the army who lies about the number of people in order to ask the central government for more military pay.

Often in a year, the amount of money and silver can be as high as tens of thousands of silver!

It's just that because of the fact that the generals in various places are in charge of military power, several generations of great emperors can only turn a blind eye.

Unexpectedly, now their behavior has been exaggerated to such an extent, and more than half of the 100,000 soldiers are greedy for ink by the main general.

"Not really! My White Horse Battalion is only one of the three battalions of the Dragon Cliff Fortress, and the number of people is indeed only 30,000. ”

"And the other two battalions were transferred ahead of schedule to end up in such a situation."

The scouts shouted again and again, crying out for their master.

"Thirty thousand troops occupy the danger, and it is absolutely impossible to be so vulnerable. I'd like to hear about it, but what other reasons are there? ”

Xu Jing was expressionless and motioned for the scout to continue explaining.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates don't dare to say it."

The scout glanced up at Xu Jingzhan and replied tremblingly.

"Is it because of the lack of military rations and supplies? Therefore, nominally, there are 30,000 soldiers, and it may be possible to exert combat power, but even one-twelfth is not enough, right? ”

Xu Jing spoke again, and his words were already full of anger.

His anger was not directed at the scouts in front of him, but at the civilian officials who were hiding on the sidelines.

"Your Majesty! The Dragon Cliff Fortress has not been supplied for nearly three months, and this heavy snow is coming too quickly, and the soldiers in the city have frozen to death and starved to death before they can meet the enemy! ”

"There are thousands of people who can't hold guns with chilblains on their hands! If it weren't for the general's scattered wealth to barely maintain the operation of the barracks, I am afraid that the Dragon Cliff Fortress would have mutinied! ”

The scout nodded repeatedly, his eyes already reddened.

As soldiers stationed in his home country, their sacrifice for the country was not only not recognized by senior officials, but questioned their ability, and the grievances in his heart could not be vented.

It wasn't until Xu Jing opened his mouth that he was sure that the new emperor in front of him who was criticizing the world's scholars was definitely not a mediocre emperor who was sour and sour, but a wise monarch who bowed to everything in the world!

"Okay, I already know about this, and you are all good soldiers. Let's go down first and rest. ”

Xu Jing waved his hand and motioned for the scout to go down and rest first.

"Your Majesty, the minister's return to Beijing this time is to ask for help, and I also ask Your Majesty to send an army to reinforce it."

The scout didn't get up, and pleaded with Xu Jing in a low voice.

"How? Can you go back? ”

Xu Jing was a little surprised, although the wounds on the scout's body in front of him had condensed, most of the exposed skin had turned purple red.

In such a state, I am afraid that it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and it is already reluctant to be able to support it to return to the Jinluan Palace.

In such a state, he actually wanted to go back again, and Xu Jing greatly appreciated this kind of mentality.

"Your Majesty, the last general promised that his siblings would ask for reinforcements no matter what."

The scout bowed his head and replied sincerely.

"No! Your Majesty, by all means! ”

Xu Jinggang wanted to open his mouth and promise, and sent part of the forbidden army to reinforcements.

Xiao Daoling was the first to speak, interrupting Xu Jing.

"What? Prime Minister Xiao, do you have any other opinions? ”

Xu Jing swept to the side, Xiao Daoling asked coldly.

Xiao Daoling bent down and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, there are 300,000 rebels, and half of the forbidden army is sent to support, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist for too long." ”

"Instead of dividing up the forces and wasting the strength of the forbidden army, why don't you sit back and wait for the rebels to travel a long distance and wait for work?"

The minister also believes that most of these rebels are just asking for a hot meal. As long as the imperial court is willing to sue for peace, presumably they will definitely not move forward. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks Prime Minister Xiao's words are reasonable!"

The hundred officials on one side also opened their mouths to echo at this moment.

This group of sour Confucians was extremely afraid of death, for fear that once the forbidden army lost again, the remaining tens of thousands of forbidden troops would not be enough to reach the impact of the hundreds of thousands of rebels.

Rather than risking their lives to gamble, they are more willing to spend money to eliminate disasters.

Anyway, they didn't pay for the money, so they still looted the fat and ointment of the people everywhere to cash in.

"Do you think that you should abandon the Dragon Cliff Fortress?"

Xu Jing's eyes were cold, and he swept over the cold questioning of everyone present.

This group of officials bowed their heads one after another, not daring to confront Xu Jing.

It's all because Xu Jing's eyes can eat people at the moment!

"The minister believes that although such a decision is detrimental to the majesty of the great cadres, it is a foolproof policy for His Majesty!"

Xiao Daoling was not afraid at all, and quickly stepped forward to meet Xu Jing's gaze and said.

"The perfect solution? My perfection was actually to be exchanged for the lives of 30,000 loyal and patriotic soldiers? If I do, will I be able to sleep peacefully in the future? ”

Xu Jing stood up from the dragon chair and pointed at Xiao Daoling and shouted angrily.

"Where is Jiang Zhenting?"

Xu Jing turned his face away and shouted outside the hall.

"The last general!"

Jiang Zhenting walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee in front of Xu Jing and said loudly.

"I gave you 30,000 forbidden troops, how long will it take for 50,000 military horses to give me an answer?"

Xu Jing stared at the champion Hou in front of him and asked coldly.

"Three days! In just three days, the last general will be able to hold the fortress and break the enemy army! ”

Jiang Zhenting knew that Xu Jing was giving him a chance to make him stand up at the moment.

As Jiang Wuji's only son, although he can sit in the position of commander of the forbidden army, he has never been recognized.

Once this battle is successful, he will not only be able to sit firmly in the chair of the commander of the forbidden army, but also give Xu Jing a signal to the enemies outside the country - there are no dogs in the gate! Even Jiang Wujian is not in Gyeonggi, and he, Jiang Zhenting, can resist all foreign enemies!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

The scout kowtowed to Xu Jing again and again, tears splashing in his eyes.

"No! The minister disagrees! ”
