Gonggong Cao just nodded, and slowly withdrew from the outside of the Xi Zheng Hall and arranged according to Xu Jing's instructions.

In the next three days, most of the government affairs were handed over to Lin Hai and Xu Sen, and only some important matters would be visited by the two to inquire about Xu Jing, and Xu Jing was happy to enjoy a few days of leisure.

Until noon that day, Gong Cao rushed to the outside of the dormitory: "Your Majesty, there is a front-line return!" ”

"What?"

Xu Jing, who had just fought with Concubine Xiao for 300 rounds last night, changed into a dragon robe and strode out.

"The Dragon Cliff Fortress has been broken, and Commander Jiang has led the army to retreat to Yecheng."

Gonggong Cao hurriedly said the contents of the general report.

Xu Jing didn't stop and walked into the Xi Zheng Palace: "What about the casualties?" How long can it last? ”

Regarding the breach of the Dragon Cliff Fortress, Xu Jing had already expected that Xu Jing was not worried about this news.

The only thing to worry about is how much vitality the army led by Jiang Zhenting still has.

"There were not many casualties, only a few thousand. But more than half of the army led by Commander Jiang is cavalry, and if he gives up his war horse to defend the city, he is afraid that his combat strength will be greatly damaged. ”

"Commander Jiang also mentioned in the battle report that there were two elite divisions among the rebels, and their bows and crossbows were three hundred and fifty paces away and could greatly kill and injure the defenders outside the city."

Gonggong Cao cautiously informed the information.

"A three-hundred-and-fifty-step crossbow? Who do you think this army belongs to? ”

Xu Jing was also not surprised that the rebels were mixed with elite troops.

It's just that Xu Jing couldn't imagine that this group of vassal kings would be so bold and reckless, and even dare to use a powerful crossbow with great lethality.

Once the number of 350 strong crossbow troops exceeds 1,000, the damage caused to the enemy is extremely terrible.

"In the territory of Daqian, there are many people with such equipment now, and there may only be two vassal kings equipped on a large scale."

Gonggong Cao said in 1510.

The materials required to create a crossbow with a range of 350 paces are extremely demanding.

The wood used for the arrows and the craftsman's refining skills are indispensable. If both conditions can be met, only two domains with large elm trees can be met.

"It is rumored that Xu Linhai still has a champion Hou."

Xu Jing looked at the map, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and spoke.

Xu Jing is very worried about Jiang Zhenting's current situation.

It must be known that 350 steps is a full 220 meters, which is already a range that only excellent archers in ancient times could reach.

Once the number is too large, it will inevitably be a great threat to the defenders.

Not to mention, even their own signature troops have been put on the table, and God knows if those vassal kings will plant some more siege equipment in the team?

Once Yecheng is breached, the distance between the rebels and the capital will be less than one hundred and eighty miles!

At that time, the entire capital will be in jeopardy.

"Your Majesty!"

Half an hour later, the three ministers of the humerus rushed to the Xi Zheng Palace.

At this moment, Xu Jing was sitting in front of the sandbox and looking at Jiang Zhenting's situation.

"There are no outsiders here, so sit down."

Xu Jing didn't raise his head, and waved his hand to signal everyone to take a seat.

The servants looked at each other and smiled bitterly, learning to sit on the ground with Xu Jing.

"When I came, Gonggong Cao must have made this matter clear to you, I don't know what a few people think."

Xu Jing asked the three of them what they thought.

"Your Majesty, the minister believes that at this critical juncture, there must be no hesitation, and troops should be sent to support immediately."

"As long as our army spares the rear of the rebels, they can enter the Acropolis and use Yecheng as horns to strangle the enemy."

"If this matter can be matched with a cavalry, it will definitely be able to quickly storm the enemy line and cause a riot."

Xu Sen was the first to speak.

As a reader, Xu Sen has read many military books, and it is not uncommon for cases in ancient books in today's situation.

Among them, the example of the former crow army strangling the enemy army can be called a classic through the ages.

Xu Sen said according to the view of the Black Crow Army defeating foreign enemies.

"No! In this way, there are only tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the imperial city, and there are three armies on the outskirts that are more than 100,000! ”

"If you send the forbidden army to help at this moment, I am afraid that a group of rebellious ministers and thieves who obey the orders of the vassal king will take advantage of the emptiness of the imperial city to storm the imperial city! At that time, the imperial city will be in danger! ”

Lin Hai shook his head and rejected Xu Sen's opinion.

The Black Crow Battle is indeed extremely classic, but it may not be practical for today's Daqian.

It's all because the number of troops in Xu Jing's hands is really pitiful.

If the east wall is demolished to make up the west wall, a large hole will also appear in the east wall.

"I wonder if the champion Hou has any ideas?"

Xu Linlinhai and the two insisted on their own words, and they never persuaded each other.

Xu Jing was not satisfied with the statements of the two, and instead set his eyes on Jiang Wuji.

"According to what the last general has seen, do not be in a hurry. For now, we can only wait for reinforcements. ”

Jiang Wujian was silent for a moment, and then said.

As a father, Jiang Wujian very much hoped that he would lead his army to help stop the rear of the enemy, but as a champion Hou, he couldn't.

Just as Lin Hai said, once a decision is made, the imperial city will inevitably be empty.

Now that the wolves are waiting outside the capital, once their weaknesses are exposed, God knows if those vassal kings will take advantage of this to devour Xu Jingsheng alive?

"So, you have to wait?"

Xu Jing frowned, very helpless.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiao and General Xiao ask to meet."

When Xu Jing was frowning, a eunuch outside the door walked in quickly and said to Xu Jing.

"What are they doing here?"

Xu Jing was puzzled, but he still said, "Xuan." ”

"Chen Xiao Daoling, the last general Xiao Jingling, see Your Majesty!"

Xiao Daoling and Xiao Jingling, the father and son, walked into the Xizheng Hall and saluted Xu Jing.

Xiao Jingling was full of murderous aura, like an overlord in the world, looking at Jiang Wujian is eyes full of provocation.

Jiang Wuji saw that this person's brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a faint discomfort in his heart.

"I don't know why the two of you came."

Xu Jing's tone was indifferent, looking at the two of them and asking lightly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have learned that Yecheng is in crisis now. As a great minister, he naturally wants to share His Majesty's worries. ”

Xiao Daoling said with a smile.

"So, does Prime Minister Xiao have a way to solve this matter?"

Xu Jing sneered, looked at the two in front of him and asked with a sneer.

"As far as the minister knows, King Qi has an army near the Acropolis at the moment. Escorting the King of Qi to the palace by his concubines will definitely solve this crisis......."

Xiao Daoling said leisurely.

Xu Jing's eyes were full of coldness, and the Acropolis was only two hundred miles away from the Great Cadres.

If Xu Jing allowed the King of Qi to lead the army away, God knows if this King of Qi would become the "new emperor"?

"No need, such a small war, don't worry about the prime minister."

Xu Jing sneered and interrupted Xiao Daoling's words.

"Your Majesty, this is the time for the survival of the great cadres, and you can't stick to the dispute between the courts, according to what the ministers see, you still have to plan early."

Xiao Daoling was not in a hurry, and said slowly.

In fact, he forced Xu Jing to make a decision step by step.

If Xu Jing doesn't agree with this decision, I'm afraid that Jiang Zhenting won't even survive for two days!
