Regarding the fact that Black Wind City was destroyed by the Mas Empire, Emperor Li Yue was so angry that his hair stood on end.

He convened several cabinet scholars overnight, and the final result of the discussion was very simple, send troops!

Beiwuying, one of the three major battalions in the capital, has 10 soldiers, led by Ge Xiong, a young military general in the middle of the court, and cooperates with [-] soldiers under Baijiang General Soldier to launch a counterattack.

As soon as the news came out, the entire court was filled with excitement, and everyone's faces were filled with brave expressions.

However, most officials were not aware of the real circumstances of the discussions that night.

In fact, the emperor didn't want to send troops at all.

the reason is simple.

Fighting wars requires money.

Years of battles on the border have left the national treasury empty, and even the emperor's private treasury has shrunk.

How could the emperor, who was getting older and more dizzy, tolerate such a thing happening?

Hearing that several great scholars advocated sending troops, he had only one thought in his mind:
That's all my money!

It's all my little money!
Of course, he would not say such words that do not conform to his identity directly.

What made him even more unacceptable was that during this discussion, the chief minister of the cabinet, that old guy who was even older than him, actually joined forces with other bachelors to persuade him, as if he was forcing the palace.

Li Yue looked at several people, and the murderous intent in his eyes could hardly be concealed.

But he can't really do that.

Because he knows better than anyone else that it is hateful for the civil official group to oppose the ruler, but if there are no ministers to govern the huge dynasty, but relying on him as an emperor who fishes, sooner or later something will happen to Dayu, and he will live like a king in the imperial court. study.

Therefore, in this small meeting called a discussion, but actually a contest, the emperor admitted his failure and chose to back down.

The important military town on the frontier was seized, and without further ado, the entire court was in operation.

Even if the emperor does not act, as long as the ministers perform their duties at critical moments and play the greatest role, then this ancient state machine can still operate rapidly.

In three days, everything from armaments to food, from personnel transfer to marching routes was completed.

General Hussars led a group of people and marched towards Baijiang Prefecture in a mighty way, running for thousands of miles without stopping, and it was expected to arrive within half a month.

……

The capital of Baijiang Prefecture, Erya City.

Stationed in the military camp on the outskirts, the commander of Baijiang and Erya City stood side by side in front of a strategic map.

Both of them looked very dignified.

The commander of the capital of Erya City is an elderly man with a simple long gown and white beard and hair, showing the demeanor of a scholar.

He looked at the map for a long time, and sighed slightly:

"The reason why Black Wind City can serve as a barrier to the north is because of its geographical advantage, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"The Mas Empire has sent countless people to attack over the years, but they have never succeeded, and the strong attack has returned without success."

"Now that the city is broken because of a small merchant, it is really ridiculous."

Chief Soldier Baijiang is a middle-aged man in bright armor with a beard and sharp eyes:
"Things are unpredictable."

"Su Wudao's hard work for half a year has been ruined. No one wants to see this."

"Right now, what I'm more worried about is that when the imperial army arrives, those barbarians have already re-deployed their defenses in Erya City, and even the Mas Empire will send another army to station them. In this way, Black Wind City will be completely on the map of Yu. Separation, this crime, neither you nor I can bear."

The old Confucian scholar frowned, picked up the herbal tea on the side table, and drank it all in one gulp:

"According to the reports from the hidden piles, there are now [-] barbarian defenders in Black Wind City."

"I'm waiting in the outskirts of several large camps with [-] soldiers, and I have an absolute advantage in numbers!
"Liu Jiangjun, maybe you can't fight."

Liu Shan's eyes never left the strategic map for half a minute, and his tone trembled slightly:
"Commander Yang, why did this general not want to send troops immediately, but..."

"Last night, the Ministry of War has sent an urgent request of [-] miles, telling me not to act rashly, but to wait until the imperial army arrives and launch a counterattack together to ensure nothing goes wrong."

When Yang Chunguang heard it, his face became even uglier:

"This……"

"Is this the meaning of the Ministry of War? It shouldn't be, that lord has also stayed on the northern front and witnessed the tragic and rapid changes of the northern front war. He can't..."

Liu Shan shook his head:
"This general guesses...the only person who can come up with such a bad plan is the current emperor."

"If we send troops and fail to win, and lose these 10 people, the entire Baijiang Prefecture will suffer heavy losses, and the obstacles will be cleared for the barbarians."

"So, the Holy Majesty is not willing to take this risk, and he doesn't want to bear the crime of losing land and losing troops!"

When Yang Chunguang heard this, he trembled with fright.

As a Confucian scholar, he was more than a few years old and dared not say such rebellious words. He looked around quickly, shook his head and waved his hands:
"General Liu, His Majesty's heart, we should stop guessing."

"The most urgent thing is to think about how we should attack and regain Black Wind City after the 5 people from the imperial court arrive."

Liu Shan felt ridiculous when he heard these words.

The opponent has only 5 people.

And we have one hundred thousand.

As a result, the imperial court still sent [-] people, and they had to wait for them to arrive before they could attack.

What is this called?

The battlefield is ever-changing, and you may miss a good opportunity if you don't pay attention.

What the emperor did was simply to delay the opportunity of the war!
Liu Shan, the commander-in-chief of Baijiang, left the barracks alone, came to the lakeside and looked north, with a sad face, muttering to himself:

"No way, it was this general who killed you..."

"If I had known this before, I should have sent someone to send you back to the Cangxing Gate, so that you can practice hard!"

"Why do you want to get involved in this!"

……

Wei Canglan has brought Xun Wenhong to the street.

In order to deceive others and not be discovered, he left Wei Xiaohua at Wang Zhe's home.

Seeing the corpses piled up in the streets and corners, gradually rotting and smelling, Wei Canglan frowned, and Xun Wenhong beside him was even more bloody.

Looking at the dilapidated everything in front of him, Wei Canglan was extremely depressed, but at the same time he was thinking.

After these barbarians slaughtered the city, why didn't they burn their bodies and bury them?

If they are piled up in the city like this, won't the plague spread soon?
Maybe they don't understand this?

No, these guys also fight all year round. They don't understand this bit of common sense, so how is it possible.

Or, did they simply not have time?Are you enjoying it?

Soon, Wei Canglan verified this idea.

He saw an ordinary house, the owner of the house and his family members had disappeared, only a few soldiers were left in it drinking wantonly, drunk, their faces were flushed, and their legs and feet were not limp.

Seeing this scene, Wei Canglan sighed slightly.

He really wanted to rush up and chop up the group of guys and feed them to the dogs.

But doing so does not make any sense, and it is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

These guys must be expelled, or all of them must be wiped out!
