He didn't go back overnight, and when the sky turned white, Qin Feng was still overcoming difficulties.

And at this moment, a five-thousand-mile urgent battle report was transmitted to the Ministry of War, to Shangshu Province, and to the imperial study.

Datong Pass, the last pass in the northwest, is in an emergency! Ask for the support of the imperial court!

Sun Kaice, who received the battle report, immediately entered the palace and met with the emperor before the early dynasty. Sun Kaice is a general of the auxiliary state, and he also serves as the secretary of the military department, and he is responsible for the war of the dynasty.

The emperor and Sun Kaice couldn't reach a result in the discussion in the imperial study, so they left the problem in the court.

In the Jinluan Palace, the civil and military officials looked at the emperor's worried appearance, felt the oppressive atmosphere, and most of them guessed something.

Looking at the military department's Shangshu Sun Kaice and Shangshu Ling Huang Hexuan's faces were not good, everyone was even more convinced.

"The Northwest Datong Pass is in an emergency, and the army of the Xiba Dynasty will be killed soon. The general of Zhenxi, Zhong Hui, asked for the support of the imperial court, do you have any countermeasures?" the emperor said.

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of officials in the palace began to discuss, all worried.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that he must support Datong Pass no matter what. Datong Pass is the last border pass of our Dawu Dynasty in the northwest. If it is broken by the Xiba Dynasty, there will be no important town that can resist the army of the Xiba. As a result, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

It was Yang Xin, the general of Zhenguo, who spoke. Yang Xin was worried on the surface at this time, but in fact he was very excited in his heart.

For him, this is his chance!

Zhenxi General Zhong will not be able to resist the army of the Xiba Dynasty, then I will go Yang Xin. Blocked, a great achievement, a hundred steps further, no longer need to look at Sun Kaice's face. And his status in the heart of the eldest prince will also go to a higher level.

Yang Xin didn't wait for the others to speak, and then said in a deep voice: "The minister is willing to take 50,000 soldiers and horses to the northwest immediately to resist the army of the Western Tyrant!"

The minister seconded. ”

"The ministers seconded it!"

Some generals who were good friends with Yang Xin stood up at this time.

Sun Kaice stood in place, looking at his nose and his heart. Yang Xin's thoughts are very clear to him, but if he can solve it by sending troops, he will leave the opportunity to Yang Xin when he goes to the imperial study early in the morning?

The emperor did not nod, but looked at the eldest prince Zhao Wu and asked, "The eldest prince, what do you think?"

Yang Xin couldn't help but look at the eldest prince, what Zhao Wu said next would determine whether he was useful to Zhao Wu or not, and whether he could be reused.

Zhao Wu stood at the front of the civil officials like a javelin, and stood up at this time, holding a wat board and saluting: "Your Majesty, Erchen thinks what General Sun said is reasonable. Datong Pass is the last pass of our Dawu in the northwest, and it cannot be broken under any circumstances. ”

Yang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that because of what his son caused last time, his status in the heart of the eldest prince was not as good as before.

Fortunately, it seems that what was feared did not happen.

After hearing this, the emperor nodded, and then glanced at Zhao Si, who was sleepy next to Zhao Wu with his head down, and sighed secretly, so he didn't bother to ask.

"Hubu, is there a problem with the supply?" asked the emperor.

Hubu Shangshu's name is Hu Xun, he is an obese man, his eyes are narrowed into a slit, his cheeks are red at any time, and he looks oily, and he doesn't know if he has fished too much oil and water in Hubu.

Hu Xun stood up and said with a bitter face: "Back to Your Majesty, the household department can't get the supplies to support 50,000 soldiers for a while." ”

"The dynasty is in danger, and the household department has actually dropped the chain?!" Yang Xin couldn't help but say.

Hu Xun snorted coldly and said: "General Yang said lightly, in these years of fighting with Xiba, our household department has gray hair up and down in order to raise military salaries. But when did we ever drop the chain? What do you want when the military department wants food, and we give us silver?"

Hu Xun is a cautious fat man, and he still holds a grudge against Zhao Si for five hundred taels last time in Huangdanlou. Not to mention that he has long been dissatisfied with the big mouth of the military department that eats people and does not spit out bones, and at this time Yang Xin provoked, Hu Xun naturally couldn't bear it.

"Originally, the treasury was empty, but now I have to raise 50,000 soldiers and horses for military salaries at once, where can I raise it?

Yang Xin didn't have the slightest temper when he was scolded, what made Yang Xin even more angry was that Hu Xun's belly fire should have been sent to Sun Kaice, the secretary of the military department, what did he do?

But who made him just anxious about the smallest person in the six, he deserves to be scolded.

During this time, because of the urgency of the war in the northwest and the rebellion in Liaodong, there were officials arguing with each other every morning.

Forget it before, but now Datong Pass is about to be breached, and it's still noisy?

The emperor slammed the table, "What is the noise, what kind of system?!"

The emperor was angry, everyone was silent, and Hu Xun and the two of them even shrank their necks and didn't dare to speak again.

"Datong Pass cannot be broken, and the household department cannot raise military salaries, so it is taken out of the internal funds. Yang Xin, I promise you to deploy 50,000 soldiers and horses from Gyeonggi to support Datong Pass, and set off tomorrow. The emperor said.

Yang Xin took a deep breath, knelt down and said, "The minister will live up to his mission!"

The opportunity finally fell on his head.

This time, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!

has been pressed by Sun Kaice for more than ten years, and Yang Xin has long had enough. If you can make a great contribution this time, not to mention pressing on Sun Kaice's head, you can be on an equal footing.

Sun Kaice looked at Yang Xin, who was excited, and sneered in his heart.

Zhenxi General Zhong Hui has 100,000 troops in Datong Pass, but now they are in a hurry. You Yang Xin came over with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and you didn't want to change the situation of the war?

Of course, it must be able to block it for a day or two, but it is undoubtedly a dream to completely block the Xiba army with this.

If it's not good, Yang Xin will still put his life on the line in Datong.

However, since Yang Xin himself was eager to attack, Sun Kaice certainly did not have the heart to dissuade him.

If you want to die, die, it's my business.

In this way, the decision was made without the military department Shangshu saying half a word.

And at this moment, Zhongshu Ling Su Ping walked out: "Your Majesty, at this time, in addition to dealing with the crisis of Datong Pass, we Dawu also have to guard against the robbery of the Nanli Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, everyone remembered that there was still a tiger's eye in the south. Moreover, the mission is still in the capital.

The emperor nodded, then looked at Zhao Si and asked, "Fourth prince, how did you talk with the Nanli delegation yesterday?"

For a while, everyone focused on Zhao Si's body.

It's just that Zhao Si was drowsy and hadn't reacted at this time.

Shang Shu made Huang Hexuan look at it, so he elbowed Zhao Si. Zhao Si was suddenly startled, my father called me? This is a dream, right? My father actually called himself above the court?

Zhao Si hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Erchen is here." ”
