Kaiyang County, within the city.

The Langya Palace has three steps, one pavilion and one pavilion in the inner city, and five steps, one pavilion. It is decorated in a magnificent and noble manner.

At this time, there were constant quarrels in the hall, just like a market.

"King, Guan Hai only borrowed 10,000 stones of grain. For Langya Kingdom, 10,000 stones of grain is just a drop in the bucket. As the saying goes, it is said that if you lose money and eliminate disasters, just give him 10,000 stones of grain and send him away. Alas, in the case of Qiu County and Linyi County were defeated, the rest of the counties were frightened, fearing that they would be attacked, and the situation would be bad. Once the city was broken, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"As a nobleman of the royal family, the blood of the Tian family, a small Yellow Turban thief forced the king to beg for mercy. What kind of constitution is it? Food must not be given, it is related to the face of the royal family and cannot agree. Furthermore, Kaiyang County is strong and there are troops in the city. Even if we cannot defeat each other, as long as we work together, it will be fine to defend Kaiyang County."

"Is it so easy to defend the city? What if I can't defend it? That is, Qiu County and Linyi County have many troops and are all elite, but what about it? In the end, they were defeated. From this we can see the strength of Guan Hai's troops."

"Now give Guan Hai some food, Guan Hai will retreat by himself. Once the city is broken, the first thing is that the food cannot be saved, the second thing is that the people will suffer, and finally the royal face is also lost. As the king of Langya, giving Guan Hai some food is nothing to do with Da Ya. However, once the city is broken, it will be over."

"The king, the lower officials also think that they can no longer resist. Once Guan Hai enters the city, his evil nature will be eliminated, and the situation will be out of control."

"As a descendant of the royal family, how could the king surrender to the Yellow Turban thieves? He would never surrender, and would rather die than surrender. He would have no food, but he would have one life."

"It's not a question of surrendering or not, it's just borrowing food."

...

The debate situation is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.

The face of the Langya King Liu Rong, who was sitting directly above, was full of sorrow. He was used to being pampered and had no idea what to do when encountering such a thing? Especially the people below were quarreling and could not handle it. Liu Rong's eyes turned and fell on the Prime Minister Xun Wei, with his eyes full of seeking help.

All the government affairs of Langya Kingdom were handled by Xun Wei. Now that something happened, Xun Wei did not speak, which made Liu Rong feel unsure.

"Shut up, and when you encounter a small matter, you will make noise. What's the point of being a quarrel."

Xun Wei's face was full of majesty, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he shouted.

In an instant, the hall became quiet. Xun Wei stood up and walked to the center of the hall, closed his hands, saluted Liu Rong respectfully, and said, "I wonder if the king, can I do it with the strength and condition of Kaiyang County for another five days?"

Seeing Xun Wei's calm expression, Liu Rong felt relieved inexplicably and smiled: "With the prime minister, let alone guarding for another five days, there is no problem even if he guards for another ten days and half a month."

"The king praised it, and the old minister was ashamed of it."

Xun Wei still bent his waist and breathed a little relieved.

Liu Rong is of average talent, and his only advantage is that he trusts him and lets him do it.

Therefore, Xun Wei has extremely high prestige in Langya Kingdom.

Xun Wei paused for a moment, and said without any rush: "Your Majesty, I have thought about the words of my colleagues carefully. However, I can't figure it out at all, please teach me."

Liu Rong sat upright and waved his hand and said, "Please tell me if you are the Prime Minister!"

Liu Rong also respects Xun Wei very much.

On the one hand, Xun Wei respects him very much in his work, never rely on his seniority, and will not ignore his face; on the other hand, Liu Rong knows his abilities, and Xun Wei has outstanding abilities, so he needs to rely on Xun Wei; thirdly, Xun Wei has served as the prime minister for many years, and he has been taught by Xun Wei since he was a child.

Xun Wei said: "Everyone here, food and clothing are all given by the king. Why do you not consider the king's future at the critical moment, but instead consider yourself first?"

In a word, some of the officials present changed their faces.

Liu Rong's expression was also covered with frost.

Xun Wei continued to say: "Once he promised Guan Hai, the food will be given by the king, and the face will be lost by the king, and the humiliation will be borne by the king. For the officials, there will be no loss. If all the colleagues really want to help the king, they can donate their own food and materials and let the Yellow Turban thieves retreat, why would they persuade the king to borrow food?"

Everyone had a hint of worry in their hearts, and they were all afraid of Xun Wei.

After all, Xun Wei's prestige is there.

Xun Wei continued: "King, according to the old minister, anyone can agree to Guan Hai, and anyone can borrow food, but you can't. Why? Because the Yellow Turban Thief is not satisfied, this time I tasted the sweetness, will I come next time? Will I come next time? Maybe, not only Guan Hai, but also Taishan bandits, Black Mountain bandits, etc. Langya's country is rich, but it can't bear it. Furthermore, as a royal noble, how can the king stand on the throne after borrowing food? How can he face the ancestors and ancestors of Langya's country in history?"

Liu Rong nodded suddenly, his eyes gradually became firmer. Xun Wei's words came to his heart. He looked at the officials under his command, especially those who swept over and said they wanted to give food, and his eyes were even more unkind.

"King, we are not unwilling to resist, because Guan Hai is powerful and irresistible."

One of the officials stood up to explain.

The look at Xun Wei also showed a hint of doubt. No matter how scattered or how passionate you said, Guan Hai's problem must be solved.

It is impossible to let Guan Hai retreat, everything is empty talk.

Xun Wei smiled and said, "Big King, the old minister just got the news. Wang Yan, the magistrate of Yangdu County, has led his army to Kaiyang County to rescue. With Wang Yan here, the Yellow Turban Thiefs will be defeated."

"Kaiyang County Magistrate? Haha, the lower official remembers that he was an official appointed directly by Prime Minister Xun Guo. This person is named Wang Yan, just sixteen years old. He has been in office for half a year and has done nothing. Can such a person be reliable?"

The official questioned again, his tone even worse.

Liu Rong also looked at Xun Wei. After all, he was sixteen years old, so he felt worried.

Xun Wei smiled slightly and asked, "Have you ever heard of the bandit Zang Ba of Mount Tai?"

"Of course I heard it!" A hint of fear appeared in Liu Rong's eyes and said, "I heard that Zang Ba is extremely fierce and killed many officials. There are several county magistrates who died at his hands, and they should be comparable to Guan Hai."

"The king is wise!" Xun Wei praised it and immediately said: "The king may not know one thing. In less than a month, Wang Yan was appointed as the county magistrate of Nancheng County, and wiped out the bandit Du Xian in Nancheng County, Taishan County. Then, he defeated Zang Ba in the bandit of Taishan County. With him, Guan Hai will definitely be defeated."

Xun Wei actually made a bet after saying this. On the one hand, the officials in the city were in a state of turmoil and the situation gradually got out of control. He had to stabilize the situation in the city; on the other hand, because Wang Yan's ability was outstanding, he believed that Wang Yan could do it. In the end, there was also a force in the city that could participate in the attack on Zang Ba.

Three reasons are so that Xun Wei throws out Wang Yan.

After hearing Xun Wei's words, the officials had a trace of expectation in their eyes.

After all, he defeated Zang Ba.

Liu Rong had a mediocre ability, but he also understood the consequences of borrowing grain. Now that he had a little chance, he immediately shouted: "The Prime Minister means my order. From today on, I dare to say that the person who borrowed grain will be killed without mercy. You are responsible for it yourself."

"promise!"

Xun Wei bowed his hand and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
