"Didn't Wei Yuan just capture the Wushen Cult's main altar? Didn't he drill through the heart of the Yan Kingdom?"

Qian Qingshu's eyes widened in shock.

According to everyone's predictions, the Wushen Sect, which has suffered heavy losses, is likely to swallow its anger and recuperate its energy.

Or, initially appease the people, repair the city, and then deploy troops and generals, but these tasks cannot be completed in a few months, or even half a year.

The war broke out in the territory of the Wushen Cult, and the people could not escape. The city fell, and even the main altar was captured and destroyed.

Post-war reconstruction, appeasement and other matters are a long and troublesome process.

Who would have thought that less than a month after Wei Yuan captured Jingshan City, Yan and Kang would actually gather 80,000 troops to attack Yuyang Pass?!

This behavior was not in line with the normal conditions of war, and made the several academicians present shocked, angry, and confused.

Wang Zhenwen's face was as dark as water: "How is the battle situation..."

After a pause, he changed his words: "How many cities were captured in Xiangzhou?"

The two countries' coalition forces numbered 80,000, and the enemy army was in the flames of revenge and would inevitably risk their lives. However, the border defenders experienced Wei Yuan's death in battle, and it is conceivable that their morale was low.

The huge disparity in numbers, coupled with Li Yi's return to Beijing... and other information told Wang Zhenwen that Yuyang Pass had fallen, and the people of Xiangzhou were being trampled by the iron cavalry.

This made the rich old chief minister a little anxious, so much so that he could not sit still.

Hearing this, Li Yi smiled instinctively, with a trace of longing flashing in his eyes.

He smiled... Zhao Tingfang and others looked a little dull, and then they heard Li Yi say:

"Fortunately, Xu Yinluo was there at the time. He almost single-handedly helped us fend off the enemy."

Hearing this, the bachelors instinctively breathed a sigh of relief. Given Xu Qian's past ability, he could always solve problems, whether through violence or other extreme means.

Immediately I felt something was wrong. With Xu Qi'an's level of cultivation, where did the words "one person's power" come from?

Wang Zhenwen frowned slightly and asked her doubts.

Li Yidao: "Xu Yinluo dug into the formation alone and penetrated the enemy army. He killed more than 10,000 enemy soldiers in total. He killed the commander of Kang State, Su Gudu Red Bear, and killed the Yan Lord Nurhejia with one sword in the midst of thousands of troops...

......."

Listening to Li Yi's eloquent talk, the bachelors were all stunned, with the same expression on their old faces.

The tea cup held by Wang Shoufu slowly tilted, and the hot tea flowed again, and then he woke up from the heat, and his whole body almost trembled.

"true?!"

Wang Shoufu heard his voice trembling.

"I don't dare to lie about the military situation. I have already sent the Tang report to the Ministry of War. I am here under the entrustment of Commander Zhang. I hope that the Chief Assistant and all of you can make a decision as soon as possible and send reinforcements to the border of the three states." Li Yidao.

.

Wang Shoufu nodded slowly and said, "You go and wait outside. I'll discuss it for a while."

After Li Yi left, the meeting hall was silent for a while.

In the minds of all the scholars, the figure of the little Tongluo in the year of Jingcha appeared invariably. At that time, he was just a little person who relied on Wei Yuan's favor and jumped up and down.

Now that Wei Yuan died in battle, he has become a legendary figure who can stand alone.

Things are different and people are different.

Zhao Tingfang sighed:

"Unexpectedly, he has grown to this point. It can take as short as five years or as long as ten years. It will not be a problem to replace King Zhenbei and become the number one warrior in Dafeng."

Nearly ten thousand enemies were killed in the city, and Yan Lord Nurhejia was killed with one sword.

Based on this merit alone, it is not a problem to be granted the title of Marquis.

It's a pity that such a person cut off his waistband with a knife and no longer serves as an official.

Qian Qingshu, who has a fiery personality, snorted coldly:

"Your Majesty, for the sake of Prince Huai and the face of the royal family, completely broke with him. It is impossible for him to enter the court as an official again. And with Xu Qian's character, even if your majesty puts past the past, he will not return to the court."

What a pity, what a pity!

The bachelor of Huagaidian whispered: "After Wei Yuan's death, he may leave the capital..."

The bachelors were silent.

Qian Qingshu slapped the table and opened his lips, but he did not curse those two words after all.

Wang Shoufu glanced at his close friend and changed the subject: "I didn't expect that the Witch God Sect's revenge would come so quickly. This is unreasonable."

Chen Qi, the Grand Scholar of Jianji Palace, thought for a moment: "Nurhejia may be blinded by hatred, but Kang Guo is not like that. There are high-quality wizards from the Witch God Sect.

"Jingguo is fighting in the north, and Yanguo has suffered heavy losses and is in urgent need of rest and recuperation, so Kangguo's troops have been well preserved. Such a surge may be successful for a while, but once Dafeng reacts and mobilizes his troops, Yan will be

For the country, there is a risk of annihilation of the country.”

The current situation is that Jingguo in the north is restrained by demons and barbarians, Jingshan City's main altar has fallen, and middle and low-level wizards have suffered heavy casualties.

As long as Dafeng grits his teeth and fights a large-scale battle with the Wushen Sect, Yan State will be in danger of being destroyed, and Kang State will not be much better.

Therefore, Wang Shoufu proposed to mobilize more troops from various states, but was rejected by Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty.

Academician Chen Qi looked around at the crowd: "Then what was the reason that made them desperately invade the south?"

"Perhaps the supervisor can tell me." Wang Shoufu said in a deep voice, then looked at Qian Qingshu and said: "Qingshu, please invite that general in."

Li Yi re-entered the meeting hall, and Wang Shoufu said in a gentle tone: "Is there anything else?"

Li Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Has Chen Ying arrived in the capital?"

Wang Shoufu recalled briefly and remembered who Chen Ying was. He shook his head and said, "No, what else could be involved?"

It seems that he is not so fast...Li Yi suddenly showed a look of indignation:

"Except for the food and grass they brought during the expedition, the logistics troops never sent food and grass for support. The army was fighting on the enemy's side, but the Sanzhou Household Department cut off our supplies. After we withdrew, we questioned the officials of the Sanzhou Household Department.

I know the military rations are gone."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the bachelors present changed drastically, and Qian Qingshu stood up immediately.

Wang Shoufu tapped the table with his fingers and spoke more urgently:

"What does it mean that the military rations are gone? What about the grain and grass that was escorted to the border before the army went on the expedition? Didn't the three state household departments count them? Didn't you count them? Where are the escort officers? Where are the grain and grass supervisors?"

What is the most important thing in fighting a war?

Food and grass are ranked first. There are 100,000 people, and people eat horses' chews. If there is no food and grass, they will mutiny.

"Of course we sent people to do the inventory, but when we retreated, we found that the grain and grass were gone and had been secretly transported away. The responsible officials such as the escort management and grain and grass transportation supervisor were missing.

"Chen Ying questioned the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The dog officials only said that they were following orders and said nothing else. So...Chen Ying killed them all in a rage."

Li Yi lowered his head and finished all this.

boom!

Like five thunders striking the top, the bachelors were shaken.

"Acting on orders, whose order did it take? Whose order did it take?! Then, that Chen Ying... who asked him to chop people up? Who did we ask after he cut people down?

"Reckless man, damn reckless man!"

Qian Qingshu, who has a bad temper, went crazy with anger.

Only Wang Shoufu sat motionless and remained silent for a long time. When the bachelors had finished noisy, he silently picked up his official hat, put it on, and walked out slowly.

"I'm going to see Jian Zheng."

His voice was neither happy nor sad.

............

At this time, in the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War was sitting in the hall, reviewing the contents of the Tang newspaper.

It records two things. First, the coalition forces of Yan and Kang attacked Yuyang Pass and were defeated by Xu Qi'an alone. He killed thousands of enemies, killed Lord Yan, and the coalition was defeated!

Second, food and grass disappeared for no reason.

In addition to the Tang newspaper, there was also a handwritten letter from Kaitai, imploring the Minister of War, Zhang Xingying and other censors to help save Chen Ying.

Killing officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs is tantamount to mutiny.

Since ancient times, mutiny has always been tolerated, but the leader must die.

The Minister of War was a person promoted by Wei Yuan and was the backbone of the Wei Party.

The Minister of the Ministry of War pondered for a long time, summoned his confidants, and said: "Leak the contents of the Tang newspaper and only mention the first one, not the second."

The matter of grain and fodder has not yet been decided, and it is of great importance, so it is not appropriate to disclose it now.

But Xu Qi'an's deeds can be spread, and the purpose is to publicize the victory of this battle. Isn't His Majesty hesitant, isn't he unwilling to give Wei Gong a posthumous reputation? Then he will give it a push.

............

Soon, Xu Qi'an's deeds of fending off the two countries of Yan and Kang by himself began to spread among Beijing officials and the public, driven by "careful people".

In a high-end restaurant in the inner city, a group of imperial officials entered together.
