On the top of the main hall, the moment they heard the battle report, the ministers were in an uproar, kneeling on both sides and talking to each other.

"The 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom are pressing the border, but the movements are so fast...... Can the baggage and grain keep up? ”

“…… It is also possible to feed the war with war. ”

"Such a tactic, when it is really shocking, the Xia King of Yan Kingdom really has a hand in using soldiers!"

Listening to the whispers below, Emperor Zhao Chuanting of Wei sat on the dragon chair, his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and the green tendons on his head were faintly bulging and bouncing.

A few years ago, he was pitted by Su Chen, and he broke his kung fu to nourish his qi, and he almost fell ill with anger, and now listening to the ministers muttering, he really couldn't bear it, and he slammed the handrail.

"What I want is the strategy of your Aiqing to withdraw from the army, not to listen to the Xia King of the Yan Kingdom!"

Below, a figure with his head and ears quickly straightened his back, sat back on the futon, and looked at the imperial steps with a serious expression. The invasion of the Yan army swept away the land of Sanzhou, and the civil and military officials in the hall naturally felt a sense of urgency.

The discussion of the enemy's strategy will begin, the side halls on both sides of the Jinluan Palace, a large number of officials and eunuchs carry official documents in and out, and the war that comes from them is being copied down, and there are also palm books licking the tip of the pen, holding blank books, standing next to the Golden Palace, listening to the speeches of the civil and military forces and the emperor, ready to record.

The first to walk out of the queue was Yuan Feng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the ministers are only suitable for discussion, but they know the Xia King of Yan Country better." ”

"Then I'll listen to Yuan Qing's opinions."

Except for the three governors who were deployed on the battlefield in Sanzhou, the people who could lead troops to fight in the entire Wei State were basically here, but there was one more person, who was the uncle of Emperor Wei, who was seventy and five at this time, and was able to fight and was stationed in Huizhou, southwest of Luyang.

The emperor sat upright, looking at Yuan Feng below with serious eyes, who bowed down with his hands arched.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are impermanent, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom are extremely vicious, all the way to the waves, it seems that the soldiers are mighty, in fact, the old minister seems to be the Yan country children do not understand the military, 100,000 soldiers and horses are divided into three roads, but the general trend has turned into three small trends, each road is only twenty or thirty thousand people, the early stage to fight fast and slow does have an advantage, but with the deep into the hinterland of my Great Wei, the supply is elongated, and the reinforcements around are gradually increasing, and its fatigue will be revealed.

First, the source of troops is depleted, and the more you fight, the fewer you fight, and it is difficult to replenish it.

Second, the lone army is deeply penetrated, and the supply of grain and straw is difficult, and once it falls into a stalemate and advances unsuccessfully, morale will inevitably be deeply hit.

Third, since ancient times, the attack has paid attention to the righteousness, the children of the Yan State are arrogant and unreasonable, and the soldiers under them are prosperous and can not see the drawbacks, but once they suffer a defeat, the army's heart is shaken, and the soldiers will inevitably complain. ”

"Hehe, what Yuan Qing said, I almost feel like I've won the other party."

Zhao Chuanting waved his hand with a smile, interrupting the other party's words, he stood up, his posture was strong and straight, standing on the imperial steps like a mountain, and then summoned the eunuch and pushed the map over.

"The three governors lost the battle in a row, and they simply lost the face of Great Wei, but there is one thing, I don't blame them, the soldiers who are good at fighting in the north are indeed much stronger than the soldiers and horses under their command."

In the solemn atmosphere, this majestic emperor walked down the imperial steps step by step, and the black dragon robe shook everyone's eyes.

"...... it's not bad to lose a few battles, so that I and the ministers will no longer be blindly confident, and we will feel like we are in danger." In a majestic voice, he walked to the map spread out by the yellow silk, looked at the dense arrow marks on it, and looked at it for a while: "With the tactic of fighting fast and slow, we rarely saw it in the past, after all, among the six countries, only Qi and Liang can have a large number of war horses with Yan. ”

"Your Majesty, what Yuan Shangshu said just now, the other party is lone and deep, it is better to clear the wilderness!" A military minister strode out and arched his hand.

The emperor in front of the map folded his hands and nodded in a deep voice, "It's a good idea, but it's just a ploy, it can't defeat the enemy!" ”

The pressing issue at the moment is not only to repel the three-way fast attack of the Yan State, but also to counterattack back in his heart, to bring out the majesty of the Great Wei, and to invigorate the decadence of the court that has been too peaceful for many years.

He frowned, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry, and looked at the map in a low voice: "...... Divide and annihilate it, I'm afraid it won't work, the Xia King of Yan Kingdom dares to divide his troops into three ways, and naturally has his own reliance. ”

After the words fell, the hall fell silent.

After a while, a general walked out and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, it's better to gather them and annihilate them, looking at their offensive route, they are obviously running towards Luyang, then it's better to be outside Luyang and have a showdown!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Wenchen objected, but even a group of Shangwu clans were shocked, Zhao Guiyan and several other clans hurriedly walked out, "Your Majesty, I can't help it." This move is too risky, once the Yan army is gathered, it will be 100,000 people, and it will endanger Luyang. ”

Over there, the tiger-like emperor stood in front of the map, motionless, silent for a long time, "This move is indeed risky, but the effect is more obvious, although there are many people of 100,000, but if you cripple them in one go, it will save a lot of trouble later." ”

He slowly lifted his finger and pressed the arrow on the map.

“…… Yanguo three roads of soldiers and horses, the east road has entered Ganzhou, the middle road is passing through Shangzhou to the south to Guangjezhou, the west road passes through Junzhou to enter Fengzhou, from three directions, approaching Yangzhou Luyang....... since that Xia Wang dares to take the risk to play big, then I will gamble with him on a national fortune, why not! ”

The emperor turned his head to look at Wenwu who looked shocked below, and smiled: "Don't be afraid, don't let that King Xia underestimate my Great Wei Wenwu, and underestimate me, the king of a country, if he dares to play, I will accompany him to gamble." This is exactly the choice I gave him, if it is clear that I want to gamble with him, whether he will continue to follow up, or shrink his forces and retreat steadily, no matter what choice he chooses, it will be an opportunity for us to counterattack! ”

“…… Listen up! ”

The emperor, like a bear and tiger, turned around and strode towards the imperial steps, his voice was strong and powerful: "Spread my will, summon my uncle, Zhao Guangshi led the Tiefeng Yijie army from Huizhou to aid Luyang, Ganzhou, Guangjizhou, Fengzhou Jianbi Qingye, the army resisted slightly, retained the main force, moved slowly, and quietly closed the siege." The Sui and Qing prefectures in the southeast dispatched troops and horses to return to Luyang, and a large-scale encirclement has been formed, attacking from the southeast.

In addition, I brought my family letters and sent them to Qi and Liang, and gave them to my sister and sister, so that they could help persuade Emperor Qi and Liang to send troops and join Luyang. Wu and Yue also passed the letter of state, let the ministers who could speak and understand the Tao go, and gave them generous gifts, telling them that the Xia king of Yan was ambitious, strong and strong, and if the Wei country was lost, his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, he would inevitably conquer the ...... of various countries."

In the majestic hall, the emperor's continuous orders were constantly issued, and it was difficult to close the mouth of the civil and military in the hall, not only gambling on the fortune of the country, if the other five countries agreed to send troops, outside Luyang City, the number of troops gathered was probably difficult to measure.

Roughly there are hundreds of thousands!

"Since he's going to fight, I'll play a big game with him!"

The war that affected the entire Central Plains was finalized in the emperor's bold words in this majestic Jinluan Palace, and his majestic words contained thousands of corpses.

After the retreat from the dynasty.

One by one, the civil and military ministers left the hall one after another with a frightened mood, and went in twos and threes.

When Zhao Chuanting left the front hall and returned to the back hall, his body suddenly tilted, the eunuch next to him hurriedly supported him, and the surrounding guards hurriedly turned their faces away, they knew that the emperor's exhaustion and weakness could not be known to outsiders.

The emperor held the eunuch's hand, he gasped, the skin under his hair secreted dense sweat, and then, let go of the eunuch, and continued on his way.

Behind, Yuan Feng, the secretary of the military department, Long Qiao, the secretary of the household department, and several old ministers of the imperial envoy caught up, the emperor looked at the sky outside, and heard the footsteps, he turned his head and saw them, and he didn't speak, and continued to move forward with his hands, and several old ministers chased back and slowed down: "...... Your Majesty, what Your Majesty said above the court...... Wouldn't it be too risky. ”

"You have to take a risk." Zhao Chuanting didn't stop, raised his hand, waved his sleeves, and the surrounding guards and eunuchs immediately dispersed, leaving only the emperor and a group of courtiers.

"In the imperial court, I didn't mention some words to other civil and military officials, I know why, I want to send the three heavenly masters of Qin Tianjian to Ganzhou with the army?"

"Why?"

"There, I am the land of Zhao Wei Longteng, and the Taiping Dao demon Ben Ganzhou is in the southwest, and he must be going towards my Great Wei Dragon Vein."

Zhao Chuanting smiled slightly, the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth wrinkled even more, he stretched out his hands and pressed them in front of his abdomen: "Time is pressing, I can't fight with the Yan army, if the three heavenly masters are defeated, but I can break the Yan army as soon as possible, and I can turn back and renew the dragon vein, if the dragon vein is broken, I am still fighting with the Yan army here, and the national fortune is no more, and it will be defeated!" ”

"Your Majesty is really so jealous of that Yan Guo child?" Yuan Feng frowned.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I can feel that he is so extraordinary, just like a man from heaven, who comes with a mission and will destroy everything in this world." Zhao Chuanting looked down at the folded hands in front of his abdomen, "I am already old, and he is still so young, the young makes me jealous, if I can't defeat him, my descendants can only be the king of the dead country." ”

Several old ministers looked at each other, they had never seen an emperor who had reigned for thirty years, and they would actually say such superstitious statements.

"Your Majesty, are you too worried?"

"Hehe, there's this."

Emperor Wei raised his hand with a smile and waved it, without any angry look on his face, looking at the blue sky outside the palace eaves, and the continuous cicada chirping in his ears.

“…… I have reigned for many years, and I want to be a king who expands my territory, but unfortunately I have been trapped in this court and depressed, and now the opportunity has come...... I can't let it go.

Sometimes, I wonder how nice it would be if I could live in the chaos of the past, and now I see that picture. ”

As he spoke, the emperor's gray hair trembled with excitement.

“.…… My opponent, so young! ”

He said.

The emperor's will, soon after, rushed out of the imperial city and spread to the four prefectures.
