Chapter 3391 Emperor Hongyuan mobilizes troops to counterattack
At this time, Su Ming suddenly stepped forward, looked at Emperor Hongyuan with a faint look, and said: "Your Majesty, I have different opinions.
Now the Chu State is in danger due to internal and external troubles. Only King Li can resist the coalition forces.
If the emperor orders the arrest of King Li, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive, and once he is eliminated, our country of Chu will have no more capable people to use, and the consequences will be disastrous."
"This..." Upon hearing Su Ming's words, Emperor Hongyuan was stunned for a moment, and the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared instantly.
Yun Qing glanced at Su Ming with a sinister look, but he didn't expect that this old fox would turn to King Li at the critical moment.
He wanted to take this opportunity to kill Chu Xuanchen so that he would no longer have any worries.
Otherwise, he would be in fear every day, fearing that Chu Xuanchen would come to take his life.
"Report——" At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside the imperial study room.
Everyone immediately raised their heads and looked nervously at the entrance to the Imperial Study Room.
I saw a messenger soldier with dirty clothes and a dusty face walking in with an anxious look on his face.
As soon as Emperor Hongyuan saw the messenger soldier, his nerves immediately became tense, and a bad premonition overflowed in his heart.
"Report!"
At this time, the messenger shouted again, then quickly walked in and knelt down on one knee.
He presented the folds with both hands and said with a trembling face: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, General Li Linwei sent news. He said that our Qizhou, Yongzhou and other places have been conquered by the coalition forces. Now the coalition forces are advancing towards Shengjing City, and they can't get through.
How long will it take before the coalition forces will invade Shengjing City?"
"What?
How are they so fast?"
Emperor Hongyuan's body softened and he almost fell to the ground in fright.
When Yun Qing and others heard this, they also looked panicked.
"Why did the coalition forces conquer so many places in such a short period of time?
What about our soldiers?
Where is General Lee?
How are they?"
Yun Qing asked tremblingly.
The messenger soldier said: "Our soldiers have suffered numerous casualties, and mourning has spread all over the land.
General Li has been leading his army to resist, but we have insufficient food and grass, and the soldiers have no military pay, which has led to low morale and many soldiers have fled. However, the coalition forces are overwhelming and powerful, and no one can resist them at all.
General Li is now resisting and retreating at the same time. The 100,000 troops he brought with him are either dead or escaping, but now only 20,000 are left!"
"What?"
At this time, everyone was dejected.
This is too fast, too fast!
They originally thought that Li Linwei could hold on for a while, but they didn't expect that he only had 20,000 men left. How could he fight against the coalition forces like this?
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan suddenly held his head and said anxiously, "What should I do?
The coalition forces are coming in, what should I do?"
"Yes, if the coalition forces attack Shengjing City, it will be too dangerous!"
At this time, Su Ming suddenly said: "Your Majesty, please let Dong Changfeng and Chen Ping lead Xuance's army to fight, and then I will send someone to ask King Li.
If there is King Li's Zhennan Army, plus Xuance's Army, and these two armies join forces, I believe we will be able to defeat the coalition."
When Yun Qing heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty, you must not hand over military power to Dong Changfeng.
Once they gain military power, they will definitely cooperate with King Li internally and externally. By then, Your Majesty, you will not have any military power at all, so won’t you be at the mercy of Chu Xuanchen?"
King Yan was afraid that Chu Xuanchen would gain power, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, father, when all the military power is in Chu Xuanchen's hands, he will definitely rebel. What will you do then?"
"No, King Li is a bit aloof, but he will definitely not rebel.
He will only use military power to deal with the enemy, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Su Mingdao.
"Master Su, why do you keep speaking for Chu Xuanchen today?
Is it because Su Qishao married the eldest princess that you prefer Chu Xuanchen?
Do you still remember that you belong to the emperor?"
Yun Qing pointed at Su Ming angrily.
King Yan remembered that Su Ming refused to help him last time, and he was very angry with Su Ming.
He also accused: "Master Su, do you want to favor Chu Xuanchen when you see that he has become stronger now?"
Emperor Hongyuan also looked at Su Ming suspiciously and asked, "Master Su, do you think I can't do it anymore?"
That’s why you want to switch to Chu Xuanchen?
Su Ming's face was horrified and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I don't mean that, I just think about the overall situation.
I dare to swear to God that I am loyal to the Emperor and will never change my mind. I also ask the Emperor not to listen to other people’s instigating words."
"Okay, now is not the time to discuss this. The enemy is coming soon. You have to find a way as soon as possible to solve this crisis for me."
Emperor Hongyuan said, pacing on the spot anxiously.
At this time, Yun Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we have no other option now. We can only send troops from all over the country to Beijing, and let half of them guard Shengjing City and half to resist the enemy."
Su Mingdao: "Master Yun, the garrisons in various places have to guard the borders. If we transfer all the troops and provoke the neighboring countries to invade, how can we resist?
At that time, I'm afraid we will be attacked from both sides, and others will take the opportunity to cause chaos in all directions.
In my opinion, it would be better to quickly ask King Li for help."
Hearing this, Yun Qing had a sinister look on his face, "Master Su, did we not invite King Li?
The emperor has sent someone to invite him, but he did not obey the emperor's order and did not take the emperor seriously at all.
Such a person doesn't come to help the emperor in critical moments. Do you think you can count on him to defeat the enemy?"
"That's enough! Chu Xuanchen doesn't want to help, so I don't need him!"
Emperor Hongyuan said and ordered, "The total number of our garrisons across the country is at least 200,000.
Come on, hurry up and mobilize your troops, I don’t believe that I can’t defeat this villain like Feng Lingtian!”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yun Qing said hurriedly.
Su Mingze secretly lowered his eyes. Emperor Hongyuan immediately transferred all the troops stationed in various places. Once other countries attack, the consequences will be disastrous.
But Emperor Hongyuan was so headstrong that he didn't listen to him at all, so he had no choice but to shut up and wait and see how the situation would develop.
In this way, Emperor Hongyuan ordered troops from various places to move to Beijing.
He transferred 50,000 soldiers to the capital to defend him together with Xuance's army, while the other 150,000 troops were quickly sent to the battlefield to resist the coalition forces.
Emperor Hongyuan thought, he mobilized 150,000 troops at once to help Li Linwei, and also allocated the last few million taels of silver in the treasury to Yunqing, asking Yunqing to prepare food, grass, and weapons.
With this group of soldiers, we can definitely resist for a while.
In this way, the enemy troops will definitely not be able to attack for the time being.
But unexpectedly, more than ten days later, when Emperor Hongyuan was going to court, a messenger suddenly came to report that Li Linwei had lost again!
After hearing what the messenger said, Emperor Hongyuan and all the ministers looked in disbelief.
Emperor Hongyuan was stunned and said with a livid face, "What's going on?
I have mobilized 150,000 troops to help Li Linwei, and also asked people to prepare enough food and grass, why did they lose?"
The messenger soldier knelt on the ground, glanced at Yun Qing next to him, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, because those grains, grass and armaments have been tampered with! When the grains and grass were delivered to the battlefield, General Li thought he finally had supplies, but they
When I opened the grain and took a look, except for some of it which was real grain, the rest was all sand."
