Li Letian had a strong impulse. If he held the Emperor's Sword in his hand, he would kill all the civil and military officers who were shouting in the hall, with a sharp edge.
The emperor is a lonely man. He holds the entire empire in his hands but has no companions behind him.
"My lord, please hire an elite army to fight the Rong clan to the death."
At this time, one person's voice drowned out everyone else's voices. Jin Machao knelt down and pressed his hands heavily on the ground.
Li Letian let out a sigh of relief. Maybe he, a loner, was not alone.
A group of old ministers paused for a moment, and suddenly one of them snorted disdainfully: "Young boy, what do you know about national affairs?"
"You are acting for your own selfish interests without caring about the safety of the people of Li."
"The empire currently has no strength to confront the Rong people. If we resist rashly, the empire will be in danger."
It’s something that has been repeated many times, but it still means the same thing. To be honest, their words may not be unreasonable. Before the real result comes out, any choice may be wrong, or it may be right.
"I have made up my mind." Li Letian took a deep breath and said slowly: "Anyone who is timid will be killed."
Everyone seems to be stuck in the throat. Everyone must face up to Li Letian. He is not an emperor who knows the way of an emperor to control his subordinates, but he is an emperor who dares to do it. You must maintain some respect for him. He has been
Prime Minister Cui can tease him, let alone a mediocre person in the court.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, most people left the palace worriedly, while a small number of people came to the Imperial Study Room. For certain major events, a group of people cannot produce anything valuable, and it is often a small group of people who decide the direction of the matter.
Among these people, Ma Mengqi is one of them.
Li Letian's expression is serious. From the outside, he doesn't appear to be in any panic. Now there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him. No matter what is going on in his heart, Li Letian must act calmly. He can be said to be the backbone of the entire empire, and he cannot do it at any time.
Get down, and when he falls, the empire may have come to an end.
There are also a lot of people talking here, and everyone is arguing with one purpose: to judge their strategic purpose based on the current trends of the Rong people, and the court can also come up with corresponding countermeasures.
When he actually set out to do this, Li Lecai discovered how poorly prepared he was. In recent years, the empire had turned into a mess. Everyone was focused on the one-third of an acre of land in front of them, and no one cared.
The Rong tribe outside the pass. When the Rong tribe's army came over, everyone was surprised to find that they no longer understood their enemies at all.
The only information currently available is that the total strength of the Rong clan is between 200,000 and 300,000. Of course, they are called 500,000. The leader of these 500,000 is called Ye Yuan Huo, who carries the banner of flame. Who is Ye Yuan Huo?
Where did he come from, and where did the Rong tribe come from with an army of 500,000?
Li Letian sighed softly in his heart: As an emperor, he is indeed somewhat incompetent.
It was not that the imperial court did not do anything in this area. There was Cui Xiang in literature and Yu Chili in military affairs. They fought fiercely with each other, but they did rely on them to support the empire. But now, they have all become withered bones under the loess.
…
Now, Li Letian had to admit that Cui Xiang had made meritorious service to the empire.
"Your Majesty, I have probably guessed the intention of the Rong clan." Ma Chao spoke, his voice now trembling a bit.
"speak."
"The Rong tribe is scattered and difficult to unite into a group. In the past, when they invaded the empire, they often looted property because of the cold weather, so the troops could not gather. Fighting broke out on the border of the empire. But this time, there is obviously a big difference. This line
They gathered together and headed straight for Chang'an City. They...may be really different from what they thought before."
Li Letian gasped. He understood what Ma Mengqi wanted to say but did not say. This time the Rong people invaded, they no longer wanted to rob silks, livestock, and women, but the great rivers and mountains of the empire.
This will be a war that will destroy the country and destroy the species. It is impossible to seek peace as those civil servants said.
Everyone remained silent, not knowing how to deal with this battle. Including Li Letian, they were all frightened by the Rong clan's ambitions.
"Where did this Nohara fire come from?"
Li Letian almost said this through gritted teeth, revealing the anger in his heart.
Now that we have guessed the opponent's purpose, we have no other choice but to concentrate our efforts, fight with iron, and face this battle with blood and blood.
"Your Majesty, I would like to recommend someone." Ma Mengqi said.
"speak?"
"Hirano Castle Chen Meng."
Li Letian frowned: "He seems to be at odds with you?"
"Now is the time to employ people, so any unhappiness in the past is nothing. I haven't decided the winner with him yet, so let's compete on the battlefield with our military exploits."
Li Letian nodded. Ma Mengqi was right. Now is the time to hire people, but Li Letian really doesn't have many people he can trust. None of those old guys are reliable, or they need more people like Ma Mengqi.
Young men like Chen Meng come forward.
Li Letian stayed up all night and issued several imperial edicts. He urgently summoned all the vassal kings to come to the capital to fight against the enemy. Of course, he also understood that he did not have much prestige as the emperor, and there was no telling how many vassal kings would come to the capital. Fight this well.
The key to the battle is to rely on oneself. The Imperial Guards of Jingzhou are mobilized and a recruitment order is issued in the city. Regardless of origin, no matter how high or low, as long as there are a few skills and want to kill the enemy for the country, they will be entrusted with important tasks.
As each thorny problem is solved, confidence gradually returns to Li Letian. With the rivers and the earth as the stage, and millions of elite soldiers as chess pieces, let's see who is the male and female in Kunyu today.
Nohara Hui is just an unknown person.
…
At this time, Nohara Huo's army has completely entered the empire. Although the 200,000 Rong clan's cavalry have won, they are all the Rong clan's trump cards. At this time, who is not beating the drum in their hearts? If this battle is won, the country will lose.
Their names will be changed, and if they lose this battle, the Rong clan will be devastated.
In the ever-changing battlefield, there is never a destined winner. There are only those who can overcome fear and maintain eternal greed.
So far, the Rong tribe has conquered two cities, including Xizhao Pass. Everyone must admit that the Rong tribe is unparalleled in field battles. As for the siege battle, Nohara Huo has also made too many preparations for this battle.
After the battle, Nohara Hui inspected the city on the city wall. The reddish brown color of blood was still on the city bricks. The smell of blood could still be smelled in the air, and cries and screams could be heard in his ears. Two cities were destroyed in succession, using the same method.
The measure is to massacre the city.
They robbed property and women, and killed all the men who were taller than a riding crop. Thousands of households in the city were destroyed.
Only when some old things are broken can new ones be built.
