Hearing Zhao Kang's words, the generals present cried out in grief and indignation, and some even burst into tears and sobbed!
As the Optimus Prime of Jingguo and the oldest person in the army, Xu Ning can be said to be an extremely popular minister.
He also had a very high prestige in the army, and many generals were his disciples and received his favor.
How can I bear to hear the bad news now?
Even Ye Hongxue looked pale and looked in the direction of Xuzhou in disbelief.
Prime Minister Chen Kai clenched his fists, this battle was so brutal!
Even the coach was killed, how to resist the Jin army next!
"quiet!"
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted coldly, and everyone saw that it was Wu Guanhai, the prince of the prison country!
At this moment, there was no trace of depression on the young prince's face, but only a mountain-like determination. Zhao Kang looked at this and nodded secretly.
As expected of a prince, he is calm and calm in every situation. With this magnanimity, he will have no problem even if he ascends the throne now.
"National Master, apart from the old commander dying for his country, there are other situations!" Wu Guanhai said in a deep voice.
Zhao Kang nodded, "Your Highness, although Marshal Xu was defeated and the city of Xuzhou was destroyed, our army also killed countless enemies."
"And before the old commander perished with the enemy, he asked General Yu Chenggong to lead an army of 100,000 to garrison in Yizhou. In addition, apart from the five that were scrapped, the remaining fifteen artillery pieces supported by Qian Guo were also fired.
Arrive at Yizhou and return with the defenders."
"There are now a total of sixteen artillery pieces in Yizhou, the Qian Kingdom's 20,000 Xuanwu Army, 5,000 Shenlei Army, and General Yu Chenggong's 100,000 people. The total is at least 25,000 people!"
"The enemy suffered heavy casualties. After Xuzhou City was reduced to ruins, the enemy also
No further attack was made. Although Xu Shuai was defeated in this battle, he successfully curbed the enemy's offensive and preserved the chance of victory for our army. It is a merit and a fault!"
Zhao Kang's words were sonorous and powerful, and all the officials raised their heads one after another, feeling excited!
Jingguo is not dead yet!
There is also the capital to fight the enemy!
"good!"
Wu Guanhai raised his arms and shouted. He was under extraordinary pressure at the moment. Although he was a prince in the past, he was mostly studying.
Now that Wu Rulong asked him to supervise the country, it was still at such a critical juncture. Only the eunuch who was close to him knew how tired Wu Guanhai was recently.
He even slept for less than five hours every day. He always locked himself in the imperial study room and thought about strategies to defeat the enemy.
Now there are still 120,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou, 50,000 Shenwu Army in Huajing City, Qianguo Qinglong Army and White Tiger Army, etc., totaling nearly 200,000 people.
Jingguo can still fight!
Glancing at Zhao Kang, the latter nodded slightly. Wu Guanhai said in a deep voice, "Commander Xu sacrificed his life for his country to thwart the enemy's offensive and enhance the power of our Dajing army. His achievements are tremendous. When the war is settled, I will report back to the Ming Sage."
Merits are rewarded.”
"The war situation is not clear yet. We must defeat the enemy first. King Zhao will accept the title!"
Wu Guanhai did not call the national master. After all, Zhao Kang was now asked to work for Jingguo, because he directly issued orders with Zhao Kang's kingship in Jingguo.
Zhao Kang saluted, "Here."
"From now on, I will promote King Zhao as the commander-in-chief of our three armies in Dajing, commanding the entire army to defeat the enemy. Do you have any objections, sir?"
At this critical moment, no one would jump out and object after eating too much. It can even be said that they are eager for someone to come out and take the responsibility.
Of course, I won't refute it.
Zhao Kang said in a deep voice, "Zhao Kang will definitely live up to His Highness's high expectations."
"Thank you, Prince Zhao." Wu Guanhai's eyes were full of gratitude.
Everyone had discussed before that once something unexpected happened in Xuzhou, if they were defeated, Zhao Kang would be the one to take over and lead the entire army.
I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
After the meeting, seven people including Wu Guanhai, Wu Tianhu, Chen Kai, Liu Bu Shangshu and Zhao Kang were standing in the side hall.
Wu Guanhai said in a deep voice, "We have already discussed all the matters before. Now that the country is in crisis, we will do our best to save the country. I leave everything to you in Jingguo!"
"Your Highness, rest assured, I am willing to do my best!" Chen Kai was the first to express his stance. ??
Everyone here is the most powerful person who holds the most powerful power in Jingguo. For Jingguo to get through this difficulty this time, everyone must work together to get through it.
Wu Guanhai looked at Zhao Kang, "When will the Imperial Master prepare to leave?"
"The sooner the better."
Zhao Kang said softly, "The Qinglong Army cannot exert its strongest combat power because of the cavalry, and Jizhou and Yanzhou also need someone to keep an eye on it, so the Qinglong Army will be left behind to guard Huajing City, and the cannons will also be left behind to prevent any unexpected events."
"I want to take away all the remaining Shenwu Army, White Tiger Army and other troops. There are not many artillery shell reserves now. I will ask Qian Guo to speed up the supply."
"Zhou Jun and Qi Jun have their own agendas at the moment. They probably want us to fight Xiao Feiyu to the death. Until the situation becomes clear in the end, they are afraid they will remain on hold."
"But beware of Xiao Feiyu contacting them."
Speaking of this, Zhao Kang made a decision in his mind: "Qian State still has about 60,000 troops including the new reserve army. I will let Zhang Zheng, the state pastor, lead the army to deter Qi State and Zhou State."
"They will have scruples after being beaten badly by us before."
Li Jiming, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, said worriedly, "But in this way, the internal defense of the country will be really empty."
As a minister of Jingguo, he began to worry about Qianguo. All this was because Zhao Kang was sparing no effort to help Jingguo.
Zhao Kang laughed, "If we lose, then everything will be over for us, but on the contrary, as long as we can win this battle, we will have everything we need by then. At this time, we should make a big bet, so why not put all our wealth on it?"
"
Chen Kai and others were full of admiration. Zhao Kang is really brave!
Wu Guanhai nodded heavily, "Then follow your instructions, Imperial Master! Qian Jing will win!"
Everyone's eyes were glaring, and they looked at each other and shouted, "Qian Jing will win!"
After leaving the palace, Zhao Kang was about to summon the generals, but found Wu Tianhu waiting for him.
"Senior Wu." He greeted.
At this moment, Wu Tianhu's face no longer had the carefree look on his face, and he frowned and said, "You have to face Xiao Feiyu directly. I will go with you, otherwise it will be a big trouble if you let him do it among the thousands of troops." "
Zhao Kang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that King Wu was thinking about this matter. He was also quite moved in his heart. In the end, he shook his head gently, "I think it's better for you, senior, to stay in the imperial capital."
Wu Tianhu wondered "Why?"
Sighing in his heart, Zhao Kang said, "If it comes to the worst outcome, His Highness the Crown Prince must be protected by someone at the critical moment. Only then can he have hope in Jingguo."
Is that so?
Looking at Zhao Kang's leaving figure, Wu Tianhu was thoughtful, then his pupils shrank when he thought of something, and he clenched his fists subconsciously.
