On the evening of the same day, as the battle situation of the two key battlefields was transmitted back to the Qingqiu court, all the officials were shaken, and many people even felt that the sky above their heads seemed to be about to collapse immediately!

As for Empress Yan Chuyun of Qingqiu, she even blasted all the courtiers out of the military hall and sat alone in it for a long time.

In the middle of the moon and the sky, there were still some courtiers in important positions waiting outside the palace, or their faces were sad, or their expressions were gloomy, or their eyes were empty, or their hearts were desperate, and so on.

It's not that they can't withstand the wind and waves, but the result is too terrifying and too unacceptable!

"Alas, I thought that my Qingqiu would turn over and hopefully create a prosperous dynasty with a great unification! But how could you have thought that in the end, it would be such a situation? ”

"Yes, my Qingqiu monarchs are single-minded, loyal and brave, and have been fighting for 30 years, it should not be difficult to sweep the world, but who would have thought that he would kill a demon of the world?"

"When you think about it, it's all so bizarre. If the Great Xia Dynasty had such a lot of heritage long before the new emperor ascended the throne, how could it suffer losses in the hands of Dajin one after another? How could there be such a great upheaval within his court? How could the new emperor of Great Xia succeed in the palace change? But if these backgrounds are all generated because of the new emperor's accession to the throne, it is even more unreasonable! ”

"Whew... I can't guess it, I can't guess it. The reason why my Qingqiu can have today is because of the generous gift of heaven and the accumulation of more than 30 years. But that Great Xia, alas, I really can't guess ......"

"There are great and small opportunities in the world, both for individuals and for nations. That Great Xia is obviously the same as my Qingqiu, and they all have their own fate. It's just that compared with the fate of the two parties, it is obviously greater than that of Great Xia! Perhaps, this destiny ......"

The ministers lamented again and again, and talked in a low voice with sad faces.

It's just that when one of them uttered the word "Mandate of Heaven", the whole city was instantly silent, and everyone looked at it together, either angry or frightened, with different expressions.

The man was startled, and only then did he realize what the occasion was in front of him, and immediately his face turned pale, and he hurriedly lowered his head, and hid behind the pillar, and did not dare to say a word!

Originally, for such words and deeds, whether they were really angry or to show loyalty, a large group of people would immediately run up to reprimand and ask for the crime, but in this situation, no one had the heart to continue to investigate.

The official who was talking to the man came back to his senses and quickly changed the subject with a dry cough.

"By the way, is it possible that there is something wrong with the battle report on this frontline?"

As soon as this statement came out, some people immediately snorted and vetoed it.

"How is this possible? This is all after several verifications and verifications, and I dare to finally report it! And there are several rounds of battle reports before and after, it is impossible for the ears and eyes of Great Xia to control all our microphones, right? ”

The man frowned and looked helpless.

"But don't you think that's too bizarre?"

"On the battlefield of Beiguan, after a day of fierce fighting, our army was defeated for fifty miles, with nearly 300,000 casualties! What is this concept? ”

"You know, there is the most powerful Qingluan army in my Qingqiu Dynasty! The Qingluan Legion was originally the biggest killer of our dynasty and the strongest mainstay! But in the end, the Qingluan Legion alone lost 70,000 dead and 30,000 disabled, directly reducing half of its personnel, how can this be justified? ”

"The absurd thing is that according to the secret agent of Tsing Yiwei, the Great Xia army only suffered 20,000 or 30,000 casualties, and the casualty rate was only one-tenth of our army! Isn't that ridiculous? ”

"That's it, let's look at the Xiguan battlefield again."

"There, the enemy annihilated most of our army in one battle, and killed our army in disarray and retreated three hundred miles! Oh, 700,000 soldiers, more than 500,000 in one day's work, either killed in battle or captured, and in the end only 100,000 escaped, how ridiculous? ”

"Don't forget, there are 300,000 Tiger Legions in there! The Tiger Scare Legion is also the second strongest army after the Qingluan Legion! How could they be so weak? ”

"Over the years, in order to cultivate the two legions of Qingluan and Husha, and to make them the most powerful blades in my Qingqiu, my Qingqiu Dynasty doesn't know what terrifying resources have been invested! But at the end of the day, they didn't work at all, isn't that ridiculous? ”

"Can you really believe such an absurd result?"

The more this person spoke, the more excited he became, and even stood up directly in the end, dancing with his hands and feet, his face red and his ears red.

The Qingqiu ministers couldn't help but be silent, but their silence was not because they agreed with this person's suspicions, but because they were related.

As my colleagues have said, this result is indeed unacceptable.

Originally, all the people who knew about the situation of the two legions had great confidence in them, and even after seeing the power of Great Xia, they also had the confidence that they could not be defeated.

However, the cruel truth slapped them hard!

The elite of Qingqiu, with the two major legions as the core, not only failed to hold on, but were killed and fled in disarray with great casualties, how can this not be embarrassing? How can it not be annoying?

After a long silence, an old minister shook his head and sighed.

"Now that the matter has come to this, don't deceive yourself anymore."

"The war reports all describe the course of the war, and they can't be faked."

"If the Qingluan Legion and the Tiger Demon Legion are not on the battlefield, I'm afraid what we get today is two battle reports that the entire army has been wiped out! And not just the war report of the crushing defeat and retreat. ”

"Everyone, don't think about those useless things anymore, let's hurry up and think about countermeasures. Even if you can't think of a countermeasure to deal with the strong army of Great Xia, you have to come up with a way to make Your Majesty regain his spirits. Only when Your Majesty stands up straight can we have the future to talk about and have other ideas to think about. If not......"

Hearing this, Shang Shuling Zuo Xia finally raised her head.

"Lord Song is right, Your Majesty is my Qingqiu's Dinghai Divine Needle, and at this time of crisis, it is even more necessary for Your Majesty to be sober and reasonable. So, we must cheer up Your Majesty! Everyone, hurry up and think about it. ”

Listening to Zuo Xia's words, some people nodded slowly, but more people looked helpless.

At this time, they themselves are very panicked, where is the talent to think about how to persuade His Majesty to calm down?

What's more, Her Majesty the Empress is very assertive, and if she wants to persuade her, how easy is it to talk about it?

Just when the ministers were worried, the closed door of the temple suddenly opened, and a female official walked out of it.

"Your Majesty, please come in."

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and while they looked at each other, they were vaguely surprised.

Your Majesty is going to take the initiative to summon them? Your Majesty, has this been figured out?

At that moment, the ministers didn't think much about it, and hurriedly tidied up their clothes and walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty!"

After the ministers entered the hall and stood still, they saluted Yan Chuyun respectfully, and looked at them quietly.

Although she couldn't see Her Majesty's facial expression clearly, on the whole, Her Majesty had regained her composure, at least her breath did not fluctuate much.

"It's hard for everyone to love Qing, it's so late, and you're still guarding outside."

Yan Chuyun spoke softly, his voice was a little low and hoarse, obviously he had experienced extremely difficult mental torment in the previous few hours.

"For Your Majesty, for Qingqiu, this is the duty of a minister!"

The ministers hurriedly replied in fear.

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Yan Chuyun's mouth, but it quickly disappeared.

"Zhongqing thinks, I'm Qingqiu, is there any hope?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent in an instant, and everyone opened their mouths and their eyes wandered, and no one dared to speak.

Yan Chuyun laughed at himself, shook his head, and changed the topic.

"What is the situation in the east now?"

Jiang Zhan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took a step to report.

"Back to Your Majesty, all the troops sent so far have been withdrawn to the front line of the Fengyang River and shrunk into the battle circle of the Fengyang River."

"Our army launched a strong attack on the two Liang battalions in the encirclement today, but the resistance of the Liang army has increased instead of decreasing. Unsuccessful takedown of ......"

"As for the Great Xia army, at present, the main force of the Great Xia gluttonous army has set off from the imperial capital of Great Liang and is marching towards the Fengyang River at a normal marching speed. In addition, the main force of the Great Xia Bifang Army is also advancing in the direction of the Fengyang River. ”

"Finally, the Great Xia Han Legion is marching westward, while constantly dispersing the army to receive the eastern, central and southern cities of Daliang, but the elite led by its commander Meng Tian is marching rapidly, and the target should also be the Fengyang River front!"

After listening to Jiang Zhan's reply, Yan Chuyun was speechless for a long time.

I don't know how long it has been, Yan Chuyun let out a sigh of relief, and seemed to have made up his mind.

"Spread my will, order the whole army to immediately withdraw to the middle of the imperial palace!"

Hearing Yan Chuyun's order, everyone was stunned, showing a confused look.

"The whole army? Mid-belly? ”

Zuo Xia opened her mouth in amazement, and even forgot to use honorifics as a prefix.

Yan Chuyun glanced at Zuo Xia and said indifferently: "You heard it right. ”

After receiving a positive answer, whether it was Zuo Xia, Jiang Zhan, Prime Minister Luo Dingbang, or others, they were so anxious that their foreheads were sweating.

"Your Majesty! Never! In order to take the two battalions of Daliang, not to mention the casualties, the strategic arrangement of the delay and abandonment alone is extraordinary. At this time, if you let go directly, wouldn't it be a cheap Daxia for nothing, and a disguised increase in the power of Daxia? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, now that most of the Great Liang has been taken over by the Great Xia army, the people of the Great Liang have seen the strength of the Great Xia army, and they will definitely not resist the chaos, this... Your Majesty think twice! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Withdrawing all the armies to the middle of the hinterland, that means that we have taken the initiative to give up the strategic space of Huihuan, and once the final Armageddon goes wrong, my Qingqiu will be directly destroyed! ”

Listening to the noisy and hurried exhortations, Yan Chuyun looked cold.

"Do you think that the number is really useful in front of the Great Xia army?"

"Do you think that Great Xia will use the main forces of the so-called Liang Army, which in their eyes are just called the Huazi Army?"

"Do you think that if you are defeated one by one, my Qingqiu will be able to avoid the fate of the country?"

"I have made up my mind, don't say more!"

After snorting coldly, Yan Chuyun Huo Ran got up.

"In addition, I will send an envoy to Great Xia, and I will negotiate with Great Xia!"

When the words fell, Yan Chuyun brushed his sleeves and left, leaving only the ministers in the hall looking at each other.

Negotiation???
