Chapter 149: Who Can Defend Against the Enemy?

Chu Xuanjin urgently convened a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"Now that the North Pass has been captured, what do you say?!" Chu Xuanjin was so anxious that his eyebrows burned.

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, but no one dares to speak.

"Speak! Don't you guys talk a lot on weekdays?! Why are they all dumb now!" Chu Xuanjin said angrily.

A minister took a deep breath and proposed to Chu Xuanjin, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the veteran who is familiar with Yanbei should be allowed to go into battle now, so that there is a possibility of a battle."

"Then tell me, who is familiar with Yanbei?" Chu Xuanjin continued to ask.

The minister did not dare to speak.

The ministers in the main hall were even more silent.

The old minister who is familiar with Yanbei, who doesn't know the people present, can only be the prince of Zhenguo.

The Zhenguo Mansion has been guarding the north for many years, and it is the most familiar with Yanbei.

Even General Huo Lao is not familiar with Yanbei as the Zhenguo Mansion.

But now, the Zhenguo Mansion is ......

The ministers only felt more and more embarrassed.

Someone suggested: "Your Majesty, General Huo Lao has a lot of experience in the battlefield, and with a few good captains and generals, he may be able to do it."

"No! Although General Huo Lao has sufficient experience in the battlefield, he does not listen to the withering of the main general, and commits the following crimes, which is disrespectful to the main general, and even more disobedient to His Majesty's orders! This is a great sin of disrespect!" The people from the Zuo Ye faction immediately jumped out and accused.

Although Huo Changqing came, he didn't speak just now, and when he heard these words at this time, he was so angry that he immediately exploded: "I'm bah!! Look at what the front line looks like now ?! What was my father like when he was on the front line?! Liu Beichuan, he knows how to fight! Now the front line is because of Liu Beichuan's blind command, so now the North Back Pass is lost!"

"Huo Changqing, I know that you are not happy that your father was escorted back to Beijing because of this matter, but please also pay attention to your words, look at what kind of place this is! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of Your Majesty?!" Zuo Ye scolded angrily.

Chu Xuanjin's face was not good-looking.

Huo Changqing directly expressed his dissatisfaction in front of so many people, didn't he take him as the emperor in his eyes at all?

In the face of Chu Xuanjin and Zuo Ye's dissatisfaction and anger, Huo Changqing didn't care, sneered, and mocked: "I'm just explaining the facts, if Your Majesty and Master Taishi think that Liu Beichuan is right and right to lead troops to fight like this, okay, then I have nothing to say."

Seeing him so arrogant, Chu Xuanjin said angrily, "Okay, since you are so backbone, then I will fulfill you, come here!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, General Huo, he is only anxious about the battle situation on the front line, and he does not intend to contradict His Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty."

Zuo Ye looked at Cheng Yi with a calm face.

This old thing, who had been silent before, jumped out and stood opposite him at this time to help Huo Changqing speak.

Cheng Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now is the time to need experienced generals, if you follow this situation, I am afraid that it will not be long before the capital will be lost!" By then, it will be too late to react."

Zuo Ye asked rhetorically: "I remember that when His Majesty asked General Huo Lao about the chances of winning this battle, General Huo Lao said that it was eighty percent, but now why is it that even the Beihui Pass has been lost?!"

Huo Changqing sneered and said sarcastically: "The premise that there is an eighty percent chance of winning is that there is no self-righteous thing like Liu Beichuan who doesn't understand anything on the front line."

"Huo Changqing! Don't go too far!" Zuo Ye rebuked angrily again.

Huo Changqing was not afraid of Zuo Ye's reprimand, and continued: "When my father was on the front line, even if there was a fool like Liu Beichuan dragging his feet, he could stabilize the situation, but now that my father is not here, others dare not come against Liu Beichuan, so they can only listen to his command, and look, now this is the end of listening to his command!"

"Huo Changqing, do you really think that I won't dare to deal with you?!" Chu Xuanjin thought about Huo Changqing with a gloomy face.

Huo Changqing looked fearless, right to Chu

Xuan Jin said: "Your Majesty, what the minister said is just telling the truth, if Your Majesty feels that what the minister said is unreasonable, and thinks that Liu Beichuan is right to lead the troops like this, then no matter what you want to do with the minister, the minister will never complain."

As soon as these words fell, the military generals and some civil servants in the court immediately pleaded with Chu Xuanjin and said, "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, now is the time to use generals, whether it is General Huo or General Huo, they are both veterans with plenty of experience on the battlefield."

"Your Majesty, the minister proposed, so let General Huo Lao and General Huo go to the front line to resist the enemy, which can be regarded as a meritorious service."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

There were more and more voices seconding the proposal, and Chu Xuanjin's face became more and more ugly.

Huo Changqing dared to contradict him like this just now, and he even dared to let Huo Changqing fight with his old general Huo who didn't listen to the lord and withered?!

What if the father and son took advantage of this opportunity to rebel?

"Report, Yanqing Pass is lost, and Xu Bingcheng's military situation is urgent." Once again, the battle reports from the front came in.

When everyone heard that Yanqing Pass was lost, and then they heard that Xu Bingcheng's military situation was also urgent, everyone in the hall suddenly fell into a burst of anxiety.

"This, this Yan Qingguan and Xu Bingcheng are the last line of defense, if they are all lost, then, wouldn't there be no obstacle for the Yanbei army to come to the capital?"

"It's over, it's over, it's over, what can I do? How can this be?"

Huo Changqing didn't expect the front line to be lost so quickly, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and he didn't care about whether he respected Chu Xuanjin or not, grabbed the little soldier and asked, "Who is the main general of Yanbei this time?"

If he is still the previous main general, under the blind command of Liu Beichuan, it is understandable to take the North Return Pass.

But in such a short period of time, even Yan Qingguan was taken, and Xu Bingcheng was already like a bag, which was definitely not something that ordinary generals could do.

Xiao Bing replied, "This time, the commander of Yanbei will be General Ye Lin."

When the generals heard this name, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Ye Lin, this is the god of war in Yanbei, I think at the beginning, it was as famous as Zhenguo Gong.

At that time, it was rumored that Ye Lin in the north and Bai Ting in the south, as long as there are these two gods of war in the north and south, then there will be no other country to invade.

Even when Old General Huo mentioned Ye Lin, he was solemn.

"This, why is this the old general coming out to lead the troops?"

"Didn't he be seriously injured by Zhen Guogong before and never be able to go to the battlefield again?"

"If this old general returns to the battlefield, who else can win this battle?"

Hearing the panic in the hall, Chu Xuanjin frowned, and immediately said, "Hurry up and announce Old General Huo!"

Hearing Chu Xuanjin unthinkingly about announcing Old General Huo to the main hall, Huo Changqing sneered and chuckled.

When General Huo was brought up, he was still wearing a prison uniform because he was too anxious.

Everyone looked at this prison uniform and felt glaring and sarcastic.

Huo Changqing had been fighting with Chu Xuanjin and Zuo Ye just now, and he didn't have any fear, but when he saw his old father like this, his eyes turned red uncontrollably.

Old General Huo saluted Chu Xuanjin.

Chu Xuanjin hurriedly told Old General Huo about the situation on the front line, and said, "Old General Huo, I can let you be the commander, and you can also choose the captain by yourself, as long as you can drive Yanbei out, as long as you can take back the lost city, not only will I not blame you for your previous sins, but I will also reward you heavily!"

After hearing this, General Huo did not rush to receive the order to thank him, but asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, who is the commander of Yanbei this time?"

In the situation on the front line, General Huo Lao knew very well in his heart that he could be like a bamboo in such a short period of time, and he was by no means an ordinary person.

Cheng Yi said to General Huo, "It's General Ye Lin." ap.

When General Huo heard this name, he was also stunned.

Chu Xuanjin asked Old General Huo, "I believe in you, you must be able to, right?!"

Old General Huo said to Chu Xuanjin

Said: "Your Majesty, it's not a secret, the minister and General Ye Lin have fought a few times, and his thoughts and ways have not yet been thoroughly studied, such the most important Yanqing Pass and Beihui Pass have been lost, and the remaining passes have no natural danger, so they can only be defended. The minister did not dare to guarantee that he would win, so he could only try his best to hold the city behind."

Chu Xuanjin's face stiffened, "You mean, you can't take back the lost city?"

Old General Huo said: "Your Majesty, this time Yanbei is fighting the strength of the whole country to fight this battle, but there is a natural danger in Beihuiguan, so even if Yanbei wants to attack our Great Zhou, it will not be easy, but now, it is ......."

The latter words General Huo did not continue, and everyone who understood understood it.

was all caused by Liu Beichuan.

Old General Huo said truthfully to Chu Xuanjin: "Your Majesty, even if the minister tries his best, he can only barely protect it, but if Yanbei is like a bamboo, the minister does not dare to guarantee that he can keep Xu Bingcheng. It's even harder to get back the lost city."

Chu Xuanjin was so angry that he stood up directly, "Then I just want to watch these cities lose like this?!"

Old General Huo calmly said to Chu Xuanjin: "Your Majesty, with the ability of the minister, it is very difficult to take back these cities, this is the truth, and now that the country is in crisis, the minister will not deceive Your Majesty indiscriminately for the sake of his own freedom. However, the minister knew that there were people who could defend themselves against the enemy, and they would be able to recover these lost cities."

The generals had already begun to have a guess in their hearts, and they all looked up at General Huo.

"Who are you talking about?" Chu Xuanjin asked.

The hearts of all the ministers were lifted.

Old General Huo looked at Chu Xuanjin and said calmly, "Zhenguo Gong, Bai Ting Old General, and the rest of the Bai family army of Zhenguo Mansion."

Although everyone guessed that General Huo was going to talk about Zhenguogong, they were still very surprised when they heard that he really told Zhenguogong.

Some generals silently gave General Huo a thumbs up in their hearts.

Zuo Ye immediately said, "Old General Huo, don't you know how serious the mistake of the Bai family was at the beginning? Now you actually proposed to Your Majesty to let the Bai family take charge of the army, if the Bai family takes advantage of this time to rebel, how can you repay the losses of the Great Zhou?!"

Old General Huo looked at Zuo Ye coldly and said, "Whether the Zhenguo Mansion was really treason or not, I believe that Master Taishi knows it very well, and His Majesty also knows it very well. Moreover, if there is no Zhenguo Gong personally to contend with General Ye Lin this time, then it will be a matter of time before the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is destroyed."

Zuo Ye immediately asked, "Old General Huo, didn't you just say that you can keep the city behind?!" Why is it that the capital has been destroyed again?!"

Old General Huo said, "It is the best situation for me to be able to keep Xu Bingcheng, but Master Taishi has been staying in the capital comfortably all year round, and I am afraid that I don't know the god of General Ye Lin's soldiers."

The other generals also responded: "Your Majesty, General Ye Lin is indeed the god of war in Yanbei, the god of soldiers, no one can stop him."
