In the palace, Li Anlan frowned. The recent situation was too tense and he had not had a good night's sleep for a long time.
Especially the war in the north, he did not dare to be careless at all, and was paying attention all the time. For this reason, he specially mobilized the blood guards, just to get the news as soon as possible.
"Wei Kuang, has Lin Rusong started sending troops now?"
"Informing your Majesty, Lin Rusong has sent 300,000 troops to attack Liangshan Pass. However, General Wang has an army of 300,000 men in hand during the day, so Beiliang should not be able to attack for the time being!"
"What about the Western Region?"
"That Pang De of the Western Region went straight to the three counties of the Northwest Road. He should be trying to eliminate future troubles."
Bang!
Hearing that Lin Yi was plotting the entire Northwest Road, Li Anlan slammed the table and said angrily: "Lin Yi has such a huge appetite that he actually wants to swallow the entire Northwest Road. He really thinks he is Beidi!"
"Your Majesty, plus King Beiliang's 300,000 troops, Lin Yi is almost attacking from four armies. We must shrink our troops, otherwise we will be defeated one by one!"
Qin Li took a deep breath and said with a bitter look on his face.
Daning's territory is too large, so its troops are relatively scattered. Faced with an attack by an army like Lin Yi's, there is absolutely no backhand, and they will be defeated one by one.
As soon as this statement came out, the court was immediately in an uproar.
If this reduction of military strength is tantamount to voluntarily abandoning the northwest and other regions, this would be a huge loss for Daning and is completely unacceptable.
This is a place that we have worked so hard to get back to. It would be really unacceptable to just give up.
Prime Minister Zhang Zhiwei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what the Taiwei said is right. Our troops are too scattered, which is not conducive to our defense. Lin Yi's 100,000 troops are dispatched, and no county can withstand it!
"
Although the border counties are defended, they will not be able to withstand such an all-out attack.
Click, click, click!
Li Anlan clenched his fists tightly and made a clicking sound. He aspired to become the emperor who unified the world, but now he was forced to voluntarily give up some territory. This was really humiliating.
"Your Majesty, endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world. If we continue to be defeated like this, Daning will be gone." An old minister couldn't help but stand up, knelt on the ground, and prayed.
In an instant, the entire court knelt down and began to directly plead.
Your Majesty, stop pretending!
The North is now so aggressive that it is really unbeatable!
Forehead!
Li Anlan looked at the man kneeling on the ground, and he finally gave in.
Doesn't he know this problem? It's just that he can't shame it, but now he can only be shameless.
He looked at Zhang Zhiwei and said solemnly: "In that case, gather the troops from several northwest counties to Liangshan Pass and just defend Liangshan Pass! After I defeat Lin Yi, I can get everything back!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the Emperor just listened to his advice.
If you just remain dumbfounded, there is probably no way to save it.
Li Anlan listened to everyone's flattery, but there was no joy on his face. He said solemnly: "Where is this guy Ma Chao? He is still blocking our reinforcements?"
He was having a very difficult time these days. Ma Chao's 100,000 Xiliang cavalry were like candy. Once he mobilized an army to eliminate them, they would immediately run away.
As soon as he relaxed a little, this guy came on a war horse, specifically to block the reinforcements coming from the south, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
If he keeps doing this, he will never get reinforcements.
"this........."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone fell silent.
The cavalry comes and goes without a trace. We can't catch up with this guy running around.
Now the troops in the northeast dare not leave. They must be on guard against the tiger and leopard cavalry and the white horse Yi Cong, so Ma Chao can do whatever he wants.
One of the generals surnamed Zhou couldn't help it anymore and stood up directly and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Ma Chao has a ferocious face. Please give me an army of 200,000, so that I can challenge him in a duel!"
Damn it, yesterday Ma Chao's men raided several of his farms overnight and robbed all the food he had hoarded. He would not be at ease until this guy who killed a thousand people died!
Now that the war has broken out, the price of food has increased. It’s all fucking money!
"Get out!"
The veins on Li Anlan's forehead twitched. If I still have an army of 300,000 people, it would be nonsense for me to ask you to fight in a one-on-one battle.
Resisting the urge to beat Zhou Yong, he laughed dryly and said: "My dear, you have great courage, but this matter needs to be discussed further."
Everyone couldn't help but want to laugh. Lao Zhou was famous for being stingy. At this time, food from several farms was taken away from him. It would be strange if he didn't try his best.
At this moment, a spy suddenly came and interrupted everyone's silence.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, the traitor Lin Yi has led an army of 300,000 to attack Wuning County. The two sides are fighting fiercely."
"An army of three hundred thousand?"
The court was in an uproar, and many ministers couldn't help but look worried. This was definitely not the news they wanted to hear.
Because after an army of 500,000 people destroyed Ning Kun, Lin Yi could actually use an army of 300,000 people to attack Wuning County. This is simply outrageous.
"This is simply unbelievable. Is it true that Lin Yi is destined to die?" Tan Cheng looked lost and couldn't help but murmured:
This is already an army of 800,000 people. It is said that Lin Yi also has 200,000 troops in the Western Regions. This is directly the size of an army of one million people. It is really terrifying.
This is so damn much better than the emperor!
Now everyone is no longer worried about Ma Chao. Another ruthless man has arrived at the gate. If he can penetrate Wuning County, then Ma Chao will have a brother.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not a trivial matter. Once Wuning County is lost, the capital will definitely bear the brunt. I'm afraid it won't be able to defend it." Weiwei Zhou Zifeng said bitterly.
Qin Li also stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to reinforce Wuning County. Otherwise, once Wuning County is breached, Lin Yike will be able to attack the capital at any time!"
Once Wuning County is lost, life in the capital will be even more difficult.
Li Anlan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "What Ai Qing said is absolutely true. I have decided to send an additional 200,000 troops into Wuning County. As long as Lin Yi's 300,000 troops are defeated, the opponent's offensive will definitely be slowed down!"
Now the opponent is just a breath of energy. As long as this energy is eliminated, Xiliang will not be so cruel.
Next, you just need to slowly eat into Xiliang.
But this is the most uncomfortable thing, these are the last 200,000 troops.
Previously, he tried to persuade the aristocratic families to help, but the result was not very satisfactory. Only a few aristocratic families were willing to help Daning, which is how the two hundred thousand troops came.
Now that he is about to be transferred out at once, Ma Chao will continue to do whatever he wants!
Others naturally have no objection to the decision made by the emperor. After all, there is no other way at the moment. If Daning does not abide by it, Daning will be in trouble in the future.
However, many officials have different thoughts at this moment.
Now that Daning is crumbling, it is an opportunity for them to reshuffle the cards. If they don't make the right judgment early, they will probably die miserably in the end.
