In the palace city of Yuhang County, the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom, who were originally jubilant above the main hall, instantly froze after receiving a war report.

"Shaft!"

Liu Jie suddenly pressed the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground, and stood up, his sideburns burst into green tendons because of anger, his heaving chest, and his heavy breathing was like an angry black bear.

The bamboo slip smashed on the ground, making the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Jin State who was holding it in his heart chuckle.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened?"

The national lieutenant Kou Zhong came out of the crowd and asked cautiously.

Liu Jie glanced at it, sat down on Peng Guojun's seat again, and said, "Pick it up and see it yourself." ”

The Kou family is extremely powerful in the Jin Kingdom, and even Liu Jie is very courteous to Kou Zhong, the head of the Kou family.

Kou Zhong picked up the bamboo slips and glanced at ten lines, but his brows became tighter and tighter.

"Master Kou, what does this military newspaper say?" Situ Caoning asked.

Kou Zhong handed over the bamboo slip in his hand and said: "Yan Tao lost more than 5,000 troops after three consecutive defeats, Ju Chuan, Ruan Jin, and Lin Zhiming were killed in battle, Tang Qiu's whereabouts are unknown, and the three brigades of the left army, A, B, and C have completely lost their combat effectiveness. ”

Kou Zhong's words shocked everyone in the palace, Yan Tao is in the Jin country who no one knows, although the temper is stinky and shit, and a little afraid of guilt, but he is definitely the most capable master in the Jin country, otherwise it is impossible to win the trust and respect of Liu Jie.

Originally, everyone thought that the delay in the arrival of the Left Army was due to the fact that the great battle some time ago had injured some vitality and needed to be cultivated, but it was this kind of news that was waiting for it, which was tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky.

"Master Kou, is this true?" Si Kou Lu Yi stood up and asked, the look of shock on his face could not be concealed.

Kou Zhong sighed and said, "Master Cao, pass on the bamboo slips." ”

At this time, Cao Ning's face was also gloomy and terrifying, and everyone was already a little flustered.

You must know that the soldiers under Yan Tao's command are one of the most elite troops in the Jin Kingdom, even the Praetorian Guards dare not say that they will win, and the victory rate against the other four armies is as high as eighty percent.

However, in just a few days, such a strong army suffered as many as 5,000 casualties, more than 50 percent, and it was also the most elite Brigade A and Brigade, which can basically be said to be useless for any army.

At this time, in addition to Taifu and Tsukazai staying at home and abroad, the remaining seven ministers and Liu Jie were all brought out, and the remaining few people made up their heads in a circle, and they didn't care about any image, huddled together and looked at the military newspaper.

Liu Jie watched the bamboo slips turn around and asked in a deep voice: "I have finished reading the military report, what can I say." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Kou Zhong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the revenge of the lost teacher must be avenged, but the other party is the former prince of the room, although he was named the king of Jin for some reason, but he is the prince after all, if he rashly takes revenge, he is afraid that he will be truthful." ”

When Lu Yi heard this, he also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that you should think twice, Liang Guo has a plan against me, if you seek to seek Liang, then the Lord of Liang will be famous." Liang Guo has more than 100,000 armor, and we have just experienced a big war, so I am afraid that we will not be able to fight the enemy. ”

Liu Jie flicked his long sleeves, he naturally knew about this situation, but the five thousand elites were so gone, so that the Central Plains Little Overlord endured this breath, how could it be.

Besides, he is still a degraded prince, and now everyone in Yong'an City is picking up and listening to the will, if it is a strong country like Zhao Chu and Zhouwei, it will be fine, and a Jin king who has not seen a fief is nothing. It was the prince who also stepped on the horse.

Liu Jie, the nominally viscount of the Jin Kingdom, was very unhappy.

"Cao Situ, what do you think?" Liu Jie set his sights on the toughest Cao Ning.

Cao Ning's heart was covered with a nest of grass, and these old foxes in the court naturally looked much more than the young ones who were holding swords and cutting people, and they all knew the essence of standing and standing here.

Although the Jin State is strong, it can show off its power in front of a small country like Peng Shu, and once it encounters a strong country like Zhou Wei or even a fourth-class prince like the Liang State, he has to hold his tail between his legs.

But looking at the monarch's meaning, it is clear that he does not want to give up easily.

"Your Majesty, what the national lieutenant Si Kou said is not unreasonable, although the Tongshu loses its deer, and the princes of the world want to chase it, but this deer still nominally belongs to the master of the Tonghuang, if it is easy to attack, there may be a military disaster." Cao Ning pondered for a moment and said.

Liu Jie obviously didn't want to listen to this kind of nonsense, interrupted Cao Ning's words and asked, "Can you disguise yourself as an elite soldier?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Kou Zhong and the others hurriedly said: "No! ”

Liu Jie was surprised and asked, "Do you think it's okay?" ”

Kou Zhong said: "This is a move to cover your ears and steal the bell. "In the Jin Kingdom, there are only Kou Zhong who can say so unkindly.

"At present, the news that the King of Jin is in my Dajin territory may have been dispersed, and the reason for it is that no prince is willing to care, if something happens to the King of Jin in my Dajin, I am afraid that the Liang State will declare war on me as soon as possible, and the name is the following offense."

"Yes, your majesty, if you can't hit it with a blow, you will suffer from it, if you can destroy it for the first time, but this second and third time will be a fiasco, and the news will definitely not be intercepted, so it is better to send it out of the country. The king of Jin, the fief is three or four thousand miles away from my Dajin, even if I Dajin takes revenge, it is just a dowry for other countries, and my Dajin still has to lose troops and generals. At present, Yuhang City has been down, and our army also needs to be repaired, if the country is empty for a long time, I am afraid there will be unspeakable things. ”

Lu Yi stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, the Lord can't be angry and raise a division, and he can't be angry and cause war. Move in line with the profit, and stop at the point of not the benefit. At present, the pursuit of promotion is not in line with the profits, and it should be stopped. ”

Liu Jie asked unwillingly: "What about the five thousand elite soldiers who are lonely?" What about Yan Tao? ”

When Cao Ning heard this, he immediately jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must be strictly investigated, if Yan Sima provokes without permission, it must be dealt with strictly, and he has been defeated in successive battles, resulting in the loss of 5,000 elites in our army for no reason, and it should be punished heavily!" ”

Cao Ning's little Jiujiu Liujie also knows, his face has become very ugly, Yan Tao is regarded as protecting himself with one hand, Yan Tao's military exploits have always been a strong evidence of his own knowledge, but now he has been defeated one after another, which is undoubtedly for Liu Jie to open the bow left and right on his old face, crazy symmetry.

Kou Zhong saw Liu Jie's unpleasantness, he didn't care about it, although the old Kou family was already a third-generation captain, but there were not many children of the Kou family in the army, so he was even happy to sing a contrarian tune for Cao Ning's actions to gain more favor from the monarch.

Thinking of this, Kou Zhong also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know why this matter is going on, so why don't you call Yan Sima back first and ask for clarity before making a decision." This expedition against Peng Shu and Yan Sima also had great merit, and they could not be punished before they were rewarded, so what should the soldiers think, and the morale of the soldiers must be observed. ”

After listening to Liu Jie, he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and this step was very comfortable.

"What Qing Zhi said is that the old man seeks the country, it should be like this, if it is indeed Yan Tao's widow, he should be the law of the country, but if it is not Yan Tao's widow, he can't chill the heart of these tens of thousands of soldiers to serve the country."

"Pass the lonely edict, and the rear army Sima Dutan will take strict precautions in the territory, if the Jin soldiers move differently, they should be destroyed, and then the left army Sima Yan Tao will quickly go to the line to see the fight, and the army will pack their bags and wait for Peng Shu to do the class."
