The news that King Cheng and Xie Zhan had joined forces to fight against the imperial army reached Chang'an, and Song Mo's roar resounded throughout the palace.

"Song Qian, are you worthy of the ancestors of the Song family?"

If King Cheng was here, he would definitely pout and say, after you beat Xie Zhan, you are going to beat me, do you think I am stupid?

The ministers looked at each other, and the situation was really ......

"I'm going to destroy them!"

Ministers: "Your Majesty, think twice." ”

"Don't think twice! What you have to do is to carry out my will! Let my ideas come true! Song Mo said coldly.

Ministers: But Wechen can't do it.

Song Mo didn't care, "Ministers, let's talk about the solution now." ”

The ministers then began to talk to each other in whispers.

In the current situation, there are actually two choices, one is to increase the number of troops, and the other is not to increase the number of troops.

If you increase the number of troops, where can you still draw troops?

Now the northwest and northern borders and Liangzhou are occupied by Xianbei, and the northern soldiers led by Fu Jiangong have retreated to Luoyang.

Lüyang is located at the junction of Liangzhou and Yongzhou, and is an important military town.

Fu Jiangong led the soldiers in the north to guard against Xianbei. Can't move.

And the Sun family army led by Sun Ming was stationed in Yanmen Dai County, which was an arduous task.

Pingzhou in the east and Hulu in the north cannot be moved.

and the King of Jin also sent an army over to prevent it from becoming bigger.

The 100,000 troops mobilized by Dong Guowei to encircle and suppress Xie Zhan were already all the troops they could squeeze out.

I thought that I could fight quickly by bullying more and less, but unexpectedly, King Cheng inserted a bar, and the plan was all messed up.

The increase of troops is nothing more than the demolition of the east wall to make up for the west wall.

If you don't increase your troops, it's a stalemate. The battle went from a blitzkrieg to a stalemate.

As a result, the ministers of the court quarreled again.

Song Mo is really headache, these ministers, each of them has their own big truths.

Looking at the ministers arguing below, a trace of crimson flashed in Song Mo's eyes.

Pingzhou, Thorn History

Before the imperial army and Lingnan went to war, on this day, Qin Heng specially returned to Changli to meet with Lu Songli.

The two talked in the yamen for two quarters of an hour......

"Sixth brother and sister, I believe that Xie Zhan is not the kind of person who can be caught with his hands tied."

After several fights, Qin Heng thought that he knew Xie Zhan well. Therefore, the first battle of the imperial army's encirclement and suppression of Lingnan is very likely to develop into a protracted war.

"Hmm." Lu Songli agreed with his judgment.

The imperial court fought Lingnan, and if this battle could not be resolved quickly, there would be disaster.

"How's the state of the soldiers?" She asked.

"It's all good." Qin Heng replied.

"Then I agree with this plan, big brother, you just let it go, don't worry about logistics and supplies."

"Okay, let's get ready."

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

As long as Xianbei moves, they will shoot.

Such a good time, it would be a waste for them not to make a move.

Later, they received the news that the Dali court and Lingnan were at war.

In addition to the generals stationed in various places, all the high-level officials of the Pingzhou Mansion gathered together.

Lu Desheng was the first to say, "It seems that Xie Zhan and King Cheng should be in an alliance. ”

I can't tell if it's disappointment or what, anyway, he pursed his lips and knew that Xie Zhan wouldn't be caught with his hands tied.

In the conference hall, Xue Xu, Guo Chunsheng, Xu Zheng, Chen Ping, Liu Heshan, Ji Wuyin, Wu Chi and Lei Xin and other high-level officials were discussing this matter with each other.

Now King Cheng and Xie Zhan are allied.

The Dali court and the Xianbei court are still powerful, ranking first and second.

Their strength in Pingzhou was originally ranked third. Now, it's become the penultimate one?

Although there is a Jin King at the bottom, I always feel that it is not so safe.

If you fall behind in the ranks, you can be easily bullied.

"Will the imperial court turn its head and hit the King of Jin?" Liu Heshan was worried.

"There is also a possibility of attacking our Pingzhou." Chen Ping added.

Originally, the six forces formed their own faction, except for the Dali court and the Xianbei royal court, our Pingzhou ranked third.

Guo Chunsheng looked at everyone, "Governor, should we send someone to the East China Sea to show King Jin our willingness to form an alliance with Pingzhou?" "Form an alliance in advance to prevent the Dali Imperial Court from using them as soft persimmons.

"Then the court will be exhausted, right?" Ji Wuyin felt that the Dali Imperial Court would not be so stupid.

Lu Songli felt that Song Mo would not do this.

Whether it is to turn around and fight the King of Jin or beat them in Pingzhou, if they all choose Lian Zong, the court will be in vain, and no one can do anything about it.

Therefore, if they can think of an alliance with King Jin, the Dali court will definitely think of it.

"I think it's good to form an alliance." Xue Xu said with a smile, "Although we don't need it so urgently in Pingzhou, I think it's necessary to show weakness appropriately." ”

At this time, everyone looked at Lu Songli.

Lu Songli smiled, "Alliance? It's not impossible. ”

Although the imperial court is powerful, it is difficult to defeat four fists with both hands. This also has to be guarded against, and that has to be guarded against. There is a limit to the number of troops that can be drawn.

In fact, the most fundamental problem of the Dali court is that the Dali soldiers are too stretched.

It is already difficult to solve the current dilemma with conventional methods.

In fact, Song Mo is a little crazy, but many people seem to ignore it, which is also because he has been quite normal for two or three years.

In the past two or three years, Song Mo has just ascended the throne, and he must have wanted to do a good job, and he worked hard.

But it's a pity that Song Mo has not made any achievements in his two-year ruling career.

Even the three-year peace treaty they led last year, which made the imperial court sign with the Xianbei royal court in Houcheng, Liaodong County, Song Mo thought it was the first political achievement he achieved after ascending the throne. Looking at it now, it's just a joke.

There are also all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, which have attracted negation and abuse for him.

All these things tormented him.

Coupled with the fact that things have not been going well recently, that breath has not been released.

Lu Songli estimated that he was on the verge of going crazy.

At this time, it is the next step for them to speculate on the next step of the imperial court, and then go to make relevant precautions.

The best strategy is on the surface, it is their Pingzhou who desperately wants to form an alliance with the King of Jin, and secretly, they take another strategy. It is possible not to be affected by Song Mo's madness.

Wu Chi, the county guard of Xuantu County, was a little entangled, "But, what if the Dali Imperial Court finally chooses to encircle and suppress the King of Jin first?" Aren't we going to send troops to help in Pingzhou? "Wouldn't that be a loss?

Hearing this, most of the people present laughed.

Wu Chi and Lei Xin don't know why.

Lu Desheng sighed, "Brother Wu, our working time together is too short, you will know after a long time." ”

Wu Chi and Lei Xin still didn't understand.

Ji Wuyin also smiled, "Master Wu, don't worry, whoever suffers, we in Pingzhou can't suffer." He thought to himself, anyone could lose, but their governor wouldn't.

The two seem to understand a little, it's good not to suffer.

Lu Songli said, "An alliance is an alliance, but there must be conditions for sending troops." ”
