"What? This... how can this be feasible? Emperor Shizong of this dynasty was here to benefit the people." Hong Chenyi shook his head and said.

Lin Haoming heard it and smiled bitterly: "So, this place actually consumes a lot of national strength. Of course, it was okay to echo the Northern God Kingdom in the past, but it was meaningless afterwards."

"Brother Mian, you said this. Could it be that you actually have a plan?" Hong Chenyi pulled Lin Haoming and asked nervously.

Lin Haoming looked at him and just smiled and said, "There are plans, but you need to wait. After all, this time I don't have His Majesty's authorization to me to be able to do so alone if necessary, so I can only wait. And the time comes, General Hong, you need to come forward and act in a play."

"I have never failed to follow you. I will do whatever you say. I am the best at acting." Hong Chenyi patted his chest and agreed.

"I want you to say this." Lin Haoming nodded with satisfaction when he saw this.

The war started from the beginning of summer, and in less than half a month, the army of the Western God Kingdom conquered Houshan Pass, which was much worse than expected, which made Lin Haoming feel more and more that the Gulicai that suddenly emerged was the arrival.

At this time, in the conference hall, Lu Huaizhong looked at the generals with a ugly expression, and everyone looked embarrassed, not knowing what to do at all. Several of his confidants could not say a word, which made him feel that the situation was too frustrating.

Finally, Lu Huaizhong could only turn his attention to Hong Chenyi and Lin Haoming and asked: "General Hong, General Mian, the two made great contributions in Tianzhu City. Now that Houshan Pass has been conquered, what do you think? What are the countermeasures?"

Hong Chenyi looked at Lu Huaizhong and shook his head and said, "Governor, the situation is really bad at the moment. Send troops. To be honest, if the other party opened his pockets, we would be the flesh in the other party's mouth. There was a bit of restraint in the North God Kingdom earlier. How could it be possible now? Instead of thinking about sending troops, it is better to consider whether the Ziwu Pass should be defended."

"What? Ziwu Pass is the foundation of Emperor Shizong. How dare you say such words? If you have the courage, please suggest to Your Majesty that you will abandon Ziwu Pass." Lu Huaizhong became furious when he heard this.

Seeing this, Hong Chenyi simply stopped talking.

Other generals also felt that Hong Chenyi was really timid and did not know where those so-called achievements came from.

Lu Huaizhong didn't care about him and looked at Lin Haoming and said, "General Mian, don't you know what strategy you have?"

"Plan? When the general came just now, he suggested that the governor take the initiative. The lord did not adopt it. The time has passed. What strategy is there?" Lin Haoming said deliberately.

"You..." Lu Huaizhong felt even more distressed when he saw this. He only felt that these two guys had become the emperor's confidants and were a bit too arrogant.

In this case, Lu Huaizhong had to temporarily disperse the meeting and continue to send scouts to investigate the situation.

The news of the scout's return also made the people in Ziwu Pass look ugly. Not only was the speed of the North God Kingdom being broken too fast, but the idea of ​​relying on Houshan Pass to consume the enemy and waiting for an opportunity was completely ruined. After the West God Kingdom occupied Houshan Pass, it did not continue to go north and just rested in Yelang Mountain. Moreover, Mo Yiqi personally led tens of thousands of reinforcements, which made the situation even more critical.

In this case, there has been no countermeasures. Every day, I just conveyed some news that made the people in the pass even more panic, which made more than 100,000 people in the city very restless.

The scout came to report that day and saw a large army coming out of Yelang Mountain. I wonder if it was to retreat to the West God Kingdom or to plan to go south to Ziwu Pass, which surprised everyone.

Lu Huaizhong could only summon all the generals to discuss the current countermeasures.

A general named Xiao Sheng marked the current position of Gu Licai's army. Although he was not sure about the other party's direction, all the generals also had their own plans in their hearts. The situation may be very small if they get better. After all, the location of Ziwu Pass is really awkward. Behind it is a 300-mile field. This is just an isolated city here, without the north, and it is completely the flesh in the other party's mouth.

"Let's see how. Before summoning everyone here, General Xiao and General Ye have discussed that there are three ways to deal with it. First, they cannot stand firm and consume the enemy; second, they lead the troops to take the initiative to attack; third, they send some cavalry to harass the enemy, so that the enemy can't siege the city with peace of mind. Of course, there are other ideas and even words." Given that everyone had not spoken much before, Lu Huaizhong changed his previous method and directly gave a choice.

After he finished speaking, seeing that everyone did not respond, Lu Huaizhong also said directly: "General Mian, do you think that strategy is better?"

"It's not good. I'll just sit there and wait for death. I may even let the enemy surround and attack the enemy. His Majesty is limited to a dilemma of rescue and not rescue. He will take the initiative to attack. There are only more than 100,000 people in the city, at least twice as many as ours. Moreover, the two passes of Yelang Mountain have just been captured, and the morale is strong. As for the end of sending cavalry to harassment, there are fields around Ziwu Pass, and there is no favorable terrain to hide. More importantly, there is no supply after going out. Even if the horses can escape soon, they can't hold on for a few days. If they run out of food and grass, they will be waiting to die." Lin Haoming directly rejected all three.

"What do you think you should do?" Lu Huaizhong asked.

"Sir, the head coach." Lin Haoming said bluntly.

"you……"

Lu Huaizhong was furious when he heard this, but was about to scold him when someone suddenly came to report: "Governor, Your Majesty has sent someone."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Soon a palace maid accompanied by several imperial guards to the meeting hall. Then he took out an imperial edict from the brocade box of the people around him, and then glanced over everyone and said, "The imperial edict has arrived, Lu Huaizhong and Hong Chenyi received the edict."

Hearing this, he was inconvenient to kneel down in military uniform, and everyone bent down to answer the order. Lin Haoming recognized at a glance that this one was the palace servant who was following Tao Zhen.

The palace ladies in this world are actually like the ancient eunuchs on Earth, but they have different names. Most of the palace ladies abandoned their children because of the war and were castrated and trained since childhood. Some of them are good-qualified and can learn to read and write, and hold some positions in the palace. Now this is it, and at this time he read it directly.

Yang Kangkai's imperial edict was very verbal, mostly to rebuke Lu Huaizhong for being timid and afraid of things and missing opportunities. Finally, he ordered Hong Chenyi to replace Lu Huaizhong and governor to fight.

Hearing this result, Lu Huaizhong was silent. When the imperial edict was read out, Hong Chenyi finally went over to take over the imperial edict.

"General Lu, Your Majesty, let me clean up and go back to Beijing with me." said the palace servant.

"Yes! I obey the order!" Lu Huaizhong took a deep breath and agreed.

"Governor, you didn't make any mistakes. Changing generals at the last stage is a taboo in military strategists." Seeing this scene, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but scream.

"This is Your Majesty's intention. Do you still want to resist the order?" The palace servant immediately glared at everyone when he heard this.
