"How could I talk nonsense about such a big matter? How dare I talk nonsense!"

Ding Wei shouted sternly.

Among the civil servants, some spoke out to support Ding Wei.

"As Prime Minister Ding, who is a political advisor, how could he talk nonsense about this kind of thing? It must have been Li Zhaoliang's greed for credit that led to this defeat."

Cao Wei shouted with a dark face: "I don't believe it. I don't believe that Li Zhaoliang would be greedy for power and rush forward. I don't believe that Li Zhaoliang would be killed by the Liao people."

"The facts are before your eyes, you can't help but believe it."

"..."

In an instant, civil servants and Wu Xun were in a quarrel.

Kou Zhun saw that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were quarreling together. He patted Kou's bus and shouted: "That's enough. How can we be so noisy?"

Kou Zhun looked at Liu E, who was sitting beside him and was trembling slightly, and whispered: "What does the Queen Mother think of this matter?"

Liu E stared at Ding Wei and said in a trembling voice: "The Ai family caused such a disaster by not paying attention for a moment. The Ai family is at fault. The Ai family will never appear in Chuigong Hall again."

Leaving these words behind, Liu E left Chui Gong Hall with the support of Guo Huai.

All civil and military officials in the court were bewildered.

When did Liu E learn to admit her mistakes proactively?

Just when the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, Guo Huai left and returned. He said to Ding Wei: "Dong Gong, the Queen Mother invites you to go to Zishitang."

Ding Wei trembled all over, nodded, and followed Guo Huai out of Chui Gong Hall.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know what kind of trouble Ding Wei and Liu E were making.

Kou Zhun watched Ding Wei leave, staring at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and said: "Li Zhaoliang defeated Huaizhou, but he fought with the Liao people. Really..."

Kou Zhun was so angry that he was speechless.

Wang Qinruo came out and said loudly: "Li Zhaoliang defeated Huaizhou, killed 150,000 soldiers, and bullied the three tribes. Only in this way can we give an explanation to the people of the world."

Cao Wei cursed loudly: "You farted. The specific cause of this matter has not yet been found out. It is just a one-sided statement. How can it be counted?"

Other martial arts officers came forward one after another to support Cao Wei's words.

Wang Qinruo stared at Cao Wei and asked: "Don't Li Zhaoliang have to give an explanation to the people of the world for killing 150,000 soldiers?"

Cao Wei gritted his teeth and said, "It's hard to say whether those 150,000 soldiers were killed by Li Zhaoliang."

Wang Qinruo snorted coldly: "As a general, Li Zhaoliang holds 150,000 soldiers in his hands. If he hadn't been confused, how could he have lost 150,000 soldiers?"

I saw that the two people were still arguing.

Kou Zhun frowned and scolded: "That's enough! The top priority is to discuss how to deal with the current war situation, rather than bickering here."

Kou Zhun looked at Cao Wei and called by name: "Cao Wei, Cao Lili, you two have led troops for many years and know the military affairs well. How should we deal with the current war situation?"

Cao Wei pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Follow the Jinning Army to go north, assist the Linzhou soldiers and horses, and guard the Great Wall from Linzhou to Shizhou. Follow the Suide Army, the Security Army, and the Dingbian Army to go north, and join the Zhejia soldiers and horses.

, guarding Shizhou to

The Great Wall on the first line of Yanzhou. The troops and horses led by Zhong Shiheng, together with Huaide's army, guard Mingsha and should be in charge of the Great Wall on the first line. At the same time, the troops and horses led by Zhong Shiheng and the troops led by Zhe Weizhong must always be ready.

Rush to aid Yaode City.

Order the second army led by Gao Chugong to defend Yaode City."

Cao Lili, as well as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, were shocked when they heard Cao Wei's words.

Wang Qinruo curled his lips and said: "Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, together to help defend? Wouldn't it be a bit of a mobilization of troops? It should be noted that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are dispatched, and a lot of money and food are spent every moment.

The imperial court didn't have that much money and food to feed them.

Don't guard against the Xixia people and bring down the imperial court."

Cao Wei stared at Wang Qinruo and shouted: "Then are you afraid that the Xixia and Liao people will join forces to go south?"

Wang Qinruo was stunned and said calmly: "The Xixia and Liao people just had a fierce battle, how could they join forces and go south?"

Cao Wei said loudly: "Why can't we go south? The Xixia and Liao people have been fighting fiercely for more than half a year, and both sides have suffered a lot of damage. Why can't we go south to the Song Dynasty, have a big battle, and take the opportunity to capture the city and make up for their losses?

It should be noted that the Song Dynasty also intervened in the war between the Xixia people and the Liao people.

And not only did they fight the Xixia people, they also fought the Liao people.

If they use the Song Dynasty to provoke them both as an excuse to join forces and go south, can you persuade them to retreat?"

Wang Qinruo was speechless by Cao Wei.

He twitched his lips, and finally defended himself: "You are just alarmist."

Cao Wei glared at Wang Qinruo fiercely.

Kou Zhun frowned and said: "Just do as Cao Wei said, and immediately issue troop deployment documents to the Border Army, Huaide Army, Suide Army, Jinning Army and other troops, ordering them to go north immediately.

Regarding the handling of Li Zhaoliang and others, we will wait until the matter is thoroughly investigated before making a decision.

Write a letter to Li Di and tell him that you will report on the war in Xixia every day."

"Retreat!"

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty left Chui Gong Hall with their own thoughts.

Harem.

The main hall of the palace where Liu E lived.

Liu E sat on the chair in the main hall with a gloomy face.

Ding Wei entered the main hall with his head hanging down. When he saw Liu E, he knelt on the ground with a thud and howled loudly: "Empress, save me!"

Liu E couldn't hide it anymore. She stood up suddenly and cursed loudly: "Ding Wei, you idiot, you ruined the big things of the Ai family. The Ai family has seen many people, but for someone as stupid as you, the Ai family is still the first

See you once."

Ding Wei stared at Liu E blankly and said in shock: "Your Majesty, you already know?"

Liu E angrily shouted: "The attack strategy formulated by the Aijia and Cao Liang did not even mention the attack on Huaizhou. With you by Li Zhaoliang's side and supervising the battle, how dare Li Zhaoliang disobey the Aijia?"

What else is said about Li Zhaoliang being greedy for power and rashly advancing?

It was clearly you, Ding Wei, who was greedy for credit and wanted to gain greater credit, so you secretly changed your marching strategy and coerced Li Zhaoliang to attack Huaizhou.

Is Ai Jia right?"

Ding Wei lowered his head and cried: "I didn't expect to run into the Liao army outside Huaizhou City. I watched the battle between Xixia King Li Deming and Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu. Although they won, the Xixia troops and horses were lost.

Quite a few, most of the Xixia elite were killed or injured.

This is a rare opportunity. If we can take the opportunity to capture the entire Xixia.

From then on, the Queen Mother's position in the court was as stable as Mount Tai.

I also think about the Queen Mother, so I don’t want to miss this opportunity.

But Chen didn't expect that those damn Liao people would actually appear outside Huaizhou City.

I never expected that when Li Zhaoliang saw the Liao people, instead of retreating, he went to greet them."

Liu E's cold gaze fell on Ding Wei. Ding Wei trembled all over and said quickly: "It's me... I saw that Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao suffered a loss at the hands of the Xixia people. I saw him personally leading the troops.

When Ma attacked Huaizhou City, he set out to defeat the Liao people and capture the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, so as to regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun from the Liao people and make immortal contributions to the empress."

"Ding said, the Ai family wants to have you imprisoned!"

Liu E stared at Ding Wei and roared loudly.

Ding Wei was so frightened that he trembled all over. He cried and cried: "My Majesty, your Majesty, I did all this for your Majesty's sake. I really can't bear to see that old thief Kou Zhun bullying you and forcing you to leave Chui Gong Hall."

That’s why I want to help you gain more credit, so that you can reappear in the Chui Gong Hall, so that your majesty can surpass Kou Zhun’s.

Everything I have done is for you, my empress!"

Liu E was extremely angry and laughed back, "So, the Ai family still has to reward you well?"

Ding Wei said dryly: "Don't dare, don't dare... Madam, you must protect me. If Kou Zhun and others find out the truth of the matter, I will not be able to stay in Bianjing any longer."

Without me, you will lose a lot of help around you."

Liu E stared at Ding Wei, gritted her teeth and said, "The Ai family would rather not have help like you."

When Ding Wei heard Liu E's words, he hurriedly said: "Mother, we are just grasshoppers tied to a rope. It is your idea to ask me to send troops. If I have any bad intentions, Kou Zhun and those people will not let him go."

It’s yours.”

Liu E stared and said coldly: "Are you threatening the Ai family?"

Ding Wei hurriedly shook his head and said: "I am not threatening your Majesty, I am just telling your Majesty that I and your Majesty will both prosper and suffer. If I have any good or bad intentions, I am afraid that your position will not be secure."

Ding Wei said he was softening, but the threat in his words was clearly revealed.

The reason why Liu E took the initiative to take a step back and left the Chui Gong Hall just now was because she was worried that Ding Wei would talk nonsense in the Chui Gong Hall and involve her in it, making it difficult for her to escape.

Now it seems that she was right.

If she was really in Chui Gong Hall, forcing Ding Wei to tell the truth.
