The reason why Zhang Shen came out to gather the fourth-level masters and some powerful generals was because the order regarding the retreat was too important, and from an official position, he was only Yang Gong's staff, not the one who could make the decision.

Yang Gong, who could make the decision, was unconscious, and his life or death was uncertain. The other person who could make the decision was killed by Xu Erlang.

From Qingzhou to Xunzhou, fighting and killing all the way, this frail scholar with a stunning appearance accumulated immeasurable anger in his heart.

In the past, even if Xu Erlang had ten courages, he would not have dared to kill a second-rank official.

In troubled times, human life is like a piece of grass. This does not only apply to ordinary people, but also to officials and soldiers.

Soon, except for the generals on duty, all senior officials were summoned to the commanding compound of the barracks.

Among these people, there are several gang leaders and sect leaders from the Wulin League, rebel leaders such as Chu Yuanzhen, Hengyuan and Yang Qianhuan, military generals such as Yang Yan and Chen Ying who served in the imperial court, and some who are not high in cultivation but lead troops in battles.

The experienced former Qingzhou garrison general...

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Mi, the former commander of the Qingzhou capital, the highest-ranking official besides Yang Gong, has died in Xunzhou.

In the inner hall, a middle-aged eunuch wearing a python robe looked around after everyone gathered and said in a deep voice:

"How is Mr. Yang's injury?"

Li Mubai, the first person on the left, said calmly:

"My life has been saved, but I am still unconscious. It is not yet known when I will wake up."

The palm print eunuch frowned and looked to one side, the figure in white with his back to everyone:

"You can't even save Yang Qianhuan?"

The figure in white with his back to everyone raised his chin and said arrogantly:

"If Yang, who invited the moon to pick up the stars, was not here, Yang Gong would have died in the city."

The palm print eunuch moved his lips, gave up the idea of ​​talking to Yang Qianhuan, withdrew his gaze, and continued to ask:

"Where's Yao Hong?"

Everyone looked at Xu New Year.

To be honest, Yang Yan and others have been up and down in the officialdom for many years, and they really don't dare to kill the second-rank chief minister until they are forced to do so.

And the sect leaders of the Martial Arts Alliance would never do such a thing. The chief envoy of a state, a dignified subordinate of the second rank, how could they, outsiders, kill them at the request of others?

The Wulin Alliance and the Dafeng court have such a strong relationship. If a fit of anger leads to a breakdown in the relationship or a rift in their hearts, it will be more of a loss than a gain.

Probably only Xu Xinyin had the confidence and determination to immediately put an end to the situation when something was wrong. He even knew that everyone else had concerns and took the initiative to step forward and shoulder the burden.

Although not as dazzling as his cousin Xu Qian, this sage's ability, courage, and responsibility have been unanimously recognized by Yang Yan and others.

Xu New Year responded calmly:

"In order to appease the officialdom and the country gentry, Chief Yao became ill due to overwork and stayed at his residence to recuperate from his injuries."

Just give Yao Hong a chance to "die for his country" later.

Xu New Year was not afraid that the empress would call for an investigation after the incident was exposed. Not to mention whether Huaiqing would be held accountable, even if he was, he would turn around and push his eldest brother forward. Who would dare to speak out?

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Yao!"

The palm print eunuch coughed and got straight to the point:

"Today, according to His Majesty's imperial edict, our family orders you and others to evacuate Yongzhou overnight to preserve our strength and retreat to the capital."

No one spoke, everyone was silent and communicating with their eyes. There was no surprise, only anger and reluctance.

First of all, Yongzhou is the last barrier. If Yongzhou is lost, the Yunzhou army will reach the capital.

From the perspective of Xu Erlang and others, they can actually understand that if they fight to the death with the Yunzhou Army in the capital, they have a greater chance of winning.

But the problem is that this is a risky move, and General Da Feng has no way out.

Secondly, if Yongzhou is handed over, Xu Pingfeng's combat power will reach a higher level. The Yunzhou Army will also take advantage of the situation to seize Yongzhou's supplies, recruit troops, and finally defeat the Yunzhou Army. Will all the previous efforts be wasted?

Finally, what should the people in Yongzhou City do?

Although people's lives are like grass in troubled times, people still have compassion. If the Yunzhou army massacres the city, hundreds of thousands of people will be killed.

When Li Mubai saw no one speaking, he coughed and said:

"I'm sorry to obey!

"If we abandon Yongzhou, it will only fuel the arrogance of the Yunzhou Army and will allow them to regain their strength. The Northern Tribulation War has not yet concluded, but you can follow your majesty's instructions. Even if Xu Yinluo wins the Northern Tribulation Battle,

Even if we fight, we may not have a chance of winning."

Don't forget, Luo Yuheng's success in overcoming the tribulation was only to barely equalize his combat power, but it did not mean that Dafeng could counterattack Yunzhou.

Zhang Shen said calmly:

"Your Majesty is extremely talented, but he is not good at leading troops in battle. Miscalculations are inevitable.

"The so-called general will not accept the emperor's orders. We also have our own opinions. If your majesty blames you later, you can come to me, Zhang Shen."

Yang Yan and others were Wei Yuan's confidants and the empress's confidants, but in this matter, they supported the great scholar of Yunlu Academy.

Your Majesty Huaiqing is as talented as a man, and even far better than ordinary talented people, but she is also a female, what does she know about fighting?

However, after all, they are the empress's people, and they will think about it in their hearts and will not show it.

Fu Jingmen snorted coldly:

"If you want to retreat, retreat on your own, the Wulin Alliance will not retreat!"

Yang Cuixue touched the sword and whispered:

"All the old disciples died in Yongzhou, and I should die here, so that I will not be in vain.

"The Wulin Alliance is not under the control of the imperial court. If you want to leave, you can leave."

The Qingzhou general was slightly moved and his blood was filled with excitement.

Your Majesty expected it to be true. This group of people disobeyed the order. The palm print eunuch remembered what your Majesty had told him before leaving for Yongzhou.

Your Majesty said that if the Yongzhou garrison collectively disobeyed, he would tell them that Wei Gong was resurrected.

Your Majesty knows things like a god! The palm print eunuch took a deep breath and said:

"This is Wei Gong's order!"

After he finished speaking, he found that there was a sudden silence in the hall, you could hear a needle drop, and everyone looked at him without saying a word.

The look in his eyes was very strange, indescribably strange.

After about a few seconds, Yang Yan's forehead veins stood out and he said word by word:

"Are you making fun of us?"

He swore that if this dead eunuch dared to admit it, he would dare to shoot him in the chest in front of everyone.

The palm eunuch came from the Huaiqing Mansion. He had seen strong winds and waves, and was not frightened at all. He said calmly:

"Wei Gong has been resurrected today. His Majesty personally summoned the soul. If you don't believe it, you can verify it yourself when you return to the capital."

There was an uproar in the hall.

Everyone's expressions are different: ecstatic, confused, shocked, questioning, and excited.

Zhang Shen muttered:

"If Wei Yuan is really resurrected, then I agree to retreat to the capital."

Because Wei Yuan was in charge of the army, the decision to retreat to the capital was not a desperate move, but a risk-taking decision to survive.

But everyone still didn't believe it.

Wei Yuan had already died in Jingshan City in battle, how could he come back to life?

At this time, everyone in the hall heard Yang Qianhuan slowly say:

"He didn't lie!"

A pair of eyes immediately focused on the back of the white-robed warlock's head.

Yang Yan quickly sought confirmation and asked:

"Did you use the aura to read it?"

You seem to have never turned your head, Xu Erlang and others added in their hearts.

Yang Qianhuan said "heh" and said in a slow and excitable tone:

"No, I didn't watch it. But"

He paused deliberately to gain attention.

I really wanted to hit him. Veins popped up on the backs of Yang Yan and others' hands, and they couldn't help but tighten their weapons.

No matter what outsiders thought, Yang Qianhuan himself was as steady as an old dog and said unhurriedly:

"But I have seen Wei Yuan's body in Song Qing's secret room, and I also know that Xu Qi'an has been trying to resurrect Wei Yuan."

Oh, everyone in Wei Yuan suddenly realized that Xu Yinluo had been resurrected.

The doubts in Yang Yan and Jin Luo's hearts dissipated.
