Yu Jiuer's heart skipped a beat, and she asked hurriedly, "What is the reason for him to encircle and suppress Yinshan County? Didn't the emperor have an imperial decree to protect Yinshan County?"

Cheng An hurriedly said, "He said that Prince Jing colluded with the people of the Western Regions and intended to rebel!"

"What?" Yu Jiuer's face turned pale.

Lin Siyu died in unclear circumstances in the capital, and the Marine Governor hated Jun Mo so much that he switched to the new emperor's camp to attack Yinshan County. This is going to be bad!

"Fortunately, the prince had the foresight to leave 10,000 Black Wind Society assassins to garrison Yinshan County, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!" Cheng An was panicked. "We came out on a paraglider and then rode fast horses all the way south to chase you. We have been delayed on the road for three days. The villagers are weak and helpless, and they are probably panicking now."

Shadow looked anxious: "The other side has more people, I'm afraid even 10,000 assassins won't be able to hold them back for long!"

The people were furious when they received the news:

"He is slandering me. The prince clearly came to the coastal areas of the Western Regions to fight and rescue the slaves from Yinshan. How can he accuse the prince of colluding with the people of the Western Regions?"

"What kind of rubbish is this? It's simply confusing right and wrong!"

"Is the Marine Governor blind? We will rescue the slaves and put them in front of him. Let's see if he dares to slander the prince."

......

Yu Jiuer said with a dead look on her face: "It's useless! The Marine Governor obeys the orders of the new emperor. The new emperor wishes our prince dead. He has the nerve to use such a lame excuse. We have no way to defend ourselves. The only thing we can do now is to find a way to repel the marines."

"We have few men and horses, and we haven't won the battle in the Western Regions yet. How can we have extra troops to fight against 50,000 marines?" The people were worried.

"If we don't fight, we'll die!" Yu Jiuer said, looking up and ordering Shadow, "Prepare the horses! Cheng An, follow me to the military camp to see the prince, and report the situation to him before making any plans!"

After Jun Mo learned the news, he summoned all the generals into the tent for a meeting with a sullen face.

Soon, indignant roars were heard from the tent.

"How can there be such a shameless person in this world?" The leader of the Black Wind Society, Rulai Fu, jumped up in anger.

"I'm fighting at the frontline to save his people, and he's actually slandering us? Your Majesty, you can't resist such an emperor!"

Li Yun pressed Rulai Fu's shoulder and said, "Brother Ru, be careful with your words! Be careful with your words! Although you Jianghu people are not particular about trivial matters, he is the emperor after all. Be careful with your words!"

"Why should I be afraid of him? He has the nerve to confuse right and wrong. Why should we maintain the superficial etiquette of respect and hierarchy? I have been in the martial arts world for more than 20 years and have never encountered such an outrageous thing!" Rulai Fu became more and more angry the more he thought about it.

The other generals were also furious and denounced the new emperor's shamelessness!

Li Yun knocked on the table: "There's no point in being angry, we have to think about how to get justice!"

"The new emperor slandered us so blatantly, he must have thought of all kinds of excuses! Heaven is unfair, we can only solve it with fists!" Jun Mo's eyebrows were cold, and he tried to analyze the current situation in a calm tone.

“Initially, we attacked the coastal docks with 40,000 troops, and as of today, more than 5,000 people have been killed or injured.

Today, we have 15,000 troops stationed at the coastal docks, and there are 20,000 troops here. Together with the princess's mopping-up team of 8,000 people, we currently have 43,000 people.

The navy has 50,000 soldiers, the Western Region has about 15,000 soldiers on land, and about 20,000 soldiers on ships at sea. The disparity in strength is huge. How should we fight this war? Think about it!"

Suddenly, there was dead silence in the tent, and everyone fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Military Advisor Rong spoke first: "Xiguanying and Yinshan County are one, they are the foundation of the people, and they must not be lost!"

Lieutenant General Liu said with great sorrow, "But our army has been fighting for fourteen days. If we can take over the small wharf in three more days, wouldn't it be the same as taking over the western coastal areas? We are only a little short. How can we be willing to give up now? We won't give up the western coastal areas!"

Then, on the question of where to attack first, two sides instantly formed in the tent.

The positive side, led by Rong Junshi, wanted to protect Yinshan County and Xiguanying;

The opposing side was mainly composed of generals of the Yulin Army, who supported attacking the coastal areas of the Western Regions first.

Jun Mo and Yu Jiuer tacitly remained silent and just watched them arguing.

Proponents: "Yinshan County and Xiguanying are our foundation! If the new emperor takes them, we can only hide in the coastal areas of the Western Regions to survive. If the new emperor colludes with the Western Regions, won't we be attacked from both sides?"

Opposing side: "Victory in the battle along the coast of the Western Region is just around the corner. If we withdraw now, the 20,000 Western Region soldiers adrift on the sea will land immediately, and our previous efforts will be in vain. When the reinforcements from the Western Region arrive, we will lose the opportunity to capture the coastal areas of the Western Region again. It will be impossible!"

Proponents: "At least we rescued the slaves. As long as we have the green mountains, we will have more hope!"

Opposing side: "Even if we can save Yinshan County, what will happen? As long as our charges are not cleared, the new emperor will send more troops. Then he will collude with the people of the Western Regions to block us in Yinshan County and attack us from both sides. We will still be caught in a dilemma!"

Proponents: "But we can't just watch the people of Yinshan being captured, and the soldiers and prisoners stationed in Xiguan Camp falling into the hands of the new emperor, right? Given the ruthlessness of the new emperor, I'm afraid he will kill them all to cover up the truth! We have to go back and save the people first!"

Opposing side: "If you want to completely clear the charges, you must seize the coastal areas of the Western Regions, slap the new emperor in the face, and prove your innocence to the world!"

Hearing this, Yu Jiuer finally couldn't help it and knocked on the table to signal everyone to stop arguing.

"Everyone, stop arguing. Based on my understanding of the Black Wind Society's assassins, they must have gathered all the people in the county and fled in the three days since Cheng An and his men came out on paragliders to report the news." Yu Jiuer stood up and said calmly.

"If I'm not mistaken, at this moment, all the people in Yinshan County have already taken refuge in Xiguanying under the cover of the assassins."

"No way? How could they be so cowardly? They actually abandoned the city and ran away? Aren't they very powerful masters? Why didn't they resist to the end? Didn't the assassins have the intention to defend the city to the death?" Li Yun was shocked. "I don't know how happy the marines must be when they encounter such a bunch of assassins like you!"

He has never seen a soldier who retreats without fighting. They all want to be heroes who "live with the city as long as it lasts, and die with the city as long as it falls." But they are not even willing to fight?

Rulaifu rolled his eyes and argued, "What do you know? You are a hero if you lose your life for your passion? We in the Black Wind Society have learned from the chief leader and always know when to act! How can we not run away when so many marines dare to attack us?"

"You're right. As long as the green mountains remain, there's no need to worry about running out of firewood! The Xiguan camp is located in the mountains. As long as we guard the pass leading to the mountain, we will have no problem waiting for reinforcements for twelve or thirteen days!" Yu Jiuer nodded in agreement.

At this time, the sound of Saker Falcon was heard outside. Yu Jiuer ran out and blew a whistle. The Saker Falcon flew directly to Yu Jiuer's arm.

Yu Jiuer took the note off its feet, read it, and smiled faintly. She turned around and announced, "As expected, all the people have gone to Xiguanying for refuge, and even everyone in Prince Jing's mansion has gone up the mountain together!"
