Hearing the words "Northland Emergency" coming from outside the Xuanzheng Palace, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment.

Especially the officials of the Jiangnan family of the Eight Princes, they all chuckled in their hearts, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Northland Emergency?

What can happen to the Northland at this time?

Not long ago, the 300,000 troops of the Heavenly Wolf King had planted a heel in Yancheng, and there was gossip that the Northern King had disbanded the entire Heavenly Wolf King tribe.

The biggest threat to the Northland is gone, how can there be an emergency report from the Northland at this time?

Could it be ......

The king of the north reversed???

Just when people were confused about what could happen to the Northland, the Red Silk Messenger entered the main hall and said directly and loudly: "The King of Beixian led an army of nearly 200,000 to the south, and the Northern County is in danger!! ”

Hearing the words of the Red Silk Messenger, the people in the main hall were stunned, and even Emperor Xia was stunned.

That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?

As soon as the imperial court decided to send 50,000 heavy cavalry of the king of the north to the front line, something happened in the north.

The 300,000 army of the Heavenly Wolf King had just planted a heel in Beijun, and the King of Beixian actually dared to bring people to attack Beijun?

Is the head of the King of Beixian so iron?

Didn't he know that there were 50,000 heavy cavalry in North County?

Or is he not afraid of these 50,000 heavy cavalry at all?

After the eunuch under the dragon platform came back to his senses, he hurriedly took the battle report of the red silk messenger, and then walked to Emperor Xia's side and handed the battle report to Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia directly opened the battle report and read the military information written in the battle report seriously.

At this time, the ministers in the main hall were all staring at Emperor Xia, and they wanted to know what was written in this battle report.

After reading the entire battle report, Emperor Xia snorted coldly and said: "Again and again, again and again to plunder south, it is really too deceitful. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia glanced at the ministers, and then said: "The Northern King asked me for help in the battle report, saying that the Battle of Yancheng had caused heavy losses to the Northern County, and he was no longer able to fight with the 200,000 army of the Northern Xian King, and hoped that the imperial court could send a large army to help the Northern County resist the barbarians going south, Zhong Aiqing, what do you think." ”

This......

The ministers in the main hall, look at me, I look at you, they just thought about letting the 50,000 heavy cavalry of the Northern King go to the first-line battlefield with Dawu to consume, but the next moment the Northern King asked the court for help.

Isn't that a little wrong?

How can there be a barbarian tribe that goes south in winter?

The barbarians went south to loot grain for the winter, and by the way, they grabbed some women, and most of them went south in the autumn, at most only when winter was about to begin.

Now that the north is already icy and snowy, isn't it unpleasant to go south at this time?

Is the King of Beixian old and his brain is not good?

Or is there something special about this?

Could it be that the king of the north knew that the imperial court would send the heavy cavalry of the northern county to fight against Dawu, so he colluded with the king of Beixian to create such a false impression that the king of Beixian went south to plunder?

But the imperial court has just decided to send the Northern King to the front! Even Emperor Xia's decree had not yet been drawn up, how did the King of the North know in advance that the imperial court would send him to fight Dawu.

After a while, Wang Chengshuo, the squire of the military department, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has never heard that the barbarians will go south in winter, could it be that there is something wrong with the intelligence of the king of the north?" ”

Throughout the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, the barbarians have plundered southward in the spring, southward in the summer, and southward in the autumn, but not in the depths of winter.

It's hard to believe that this report is true.

The key is that not long ago, the Heavenly Wolf King tribe was defeated by the North King in Beijun, and nearly 200,000 barbarians died, isn't the King of Beixian not afraid that they will also be planted in Beijun?

Moreover, the King of Beixian only had 200,000 people this time, which was even 100,000 fewer than when the Heavenly Wolf King attacked Beijun.

The 300,000 people of the Heavenly Wolf King have been defeated, and the 200,000 people of the Beixian King dare to fight the Northern County in winter? Who gave the courage of the king of Beixian?

After hearing Wang Chengshuo's words, Emperor Xia said expressionlessly: "It is the duty of the shadow guard to determine the authenticity of the battle report, and now what you need to discuss is whether to send troops north to help the Northern King resist the army of the Northern Xian King." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Qinwu immediately said: "Your Majesty, now that the war on the front line is tight, the imperial court is no longer able to divide the troops, if we divide the troops to the north at this time, we are likely to be unable to resist the attack of Dawu." ”

"The minister thinks that there are 50,000 heavy cavalry in Beijun, and the king of the north is brave and good at fighting, the last time the wolf king led an army of 300,000 to the south, he was able to take great military achievements, and this time in the face of the 200,000 army of the king of Beixian, there should not be much problem."

As soon as Chu Qinwu finished saying this, before Emperor Xia could speak, Lin Gaoyuan, the left minister who had been silent for a long time, finally stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the last time Beijun resisted the 300,000 army of the Heavenly Wolf King, Beijun has suffered heavy losses, and the reason why Beijun was able to win in the first battle of Wanning River Valley is entirely because Beiwang took advantage of the terrain."

"The barbarians have already been fooled once, and they may not make the same mistake this time, so the minister thinks that some soldiers should be sent north to defend against the barbarians with the king of the north, even if they don't send troops, they should also send some supplies to the king of the north."

"If the Northern County is lost, Great Xia will be caught between the two sides of Great Wu and the Barbarians, and when that time comes, Great Xia's situation will be even more dangerous."

Hearing this, Chu Qinwu was about to refute, but Zhao Wenhan, the right minister, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lin Xiang's opinion, Beijun is mountainous and is an excellent position to resist the barbarians, once Beijun is lost, the entire Great Xia will be under the barbarian army." ”

This......

After hearing Zhao Wenhan's words, the officials of the Eight Princes' faction were stunned.

Isn't this old guy Zhao Wenhan in the same faction as them, why is he speaking for the king of the north now?

They also wish that the heavy cavalry of the King of the North would be killed by the King of Beixian.

What to do when sending troops north at this time?

At this time, Zhao Wenhan continued: "But the minister believes that compared with the northern county, we should pay more attention to the war with Dawu, and the division of troops is extremely unfavorable to the imperial court, so the minister suggested that only 30,000 soldiers be sent to the north with some supplies. ”

Emperor Xia thought for a moment, and then said: "Wang Shangshu, Chu Shangshu, Lin Xiang, and Zhao Xiang will stay, and the rest will retreat." ”

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Xia got up from the dragon chair, then flicked his sleeves and left directly.

Seeing that Emperor Xia left, there was a lot of discussion in the Xuanzheng Palace, at this moment there were still people who suspected that the battle report of Beijun was fake, and the King of Beixian did not go south with the Heavenly Wolf King last time, so he only borrowed some soldiers to the Heavenly Wolf King, how could he personally lead the troops to the south to loot this time.

And it's still in the middle of winter.

The most important thing is that this happened too coincidentally, originally the imperial court planned to let the king of the north go to the front line to fight with Dawu, but now it's okay, with the king of Beixian like this, the king of the north doesn't have to fight with Dawu.

This has to make people suspect that it is not a coincidence that King Beixian went south.

At this time, Chu Qinwu looked at Zhao Wenhan and asked, "Lord Zhao, why did you still let Your Majesty transfer troops north?" ”

Hearing this question, the eyes of some ministers focused on Zhao Wenhan, Zhao Wenhan sneered and said: "Beijun is the gateway of Great Xia, without Beijun, the entire Great Xia will be threatened by the barbarian iron cavalry, isn't it true that if the old man doesn't let His Majesty transfer troops, His Majesty won't transfer troops north?" ”

This......
