Chapter 550 Crisis
"Which one are you talking about?" Wanyan Zongshu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "It's your Qin King Xu Zixian, the one from Kaifu Fujian Road?"
"The King of Qin is indeed a rare master."
"Hey."
Wanyan Zongshu sneered this time. The Donghu people had a long history of coveting the Great Wei, and they had put in effort against the emperors, high officials, nobles, and of course the royal family of the Great Wei. They took a detour from the Bohai Kingdom and Japan to buy intelligence. Although some were watching flowers in the fog and some made up random things, the general information would not be too much mistake.
Xu Zixian opened his capital to Fujian and made great achievements. He has collected a lot of information in the past two years. Of course, Wanyan Zongshu has also contacted and learned a lot.
"A fight against bandits and robbers, killing pirates is not a great deed." Wanyan Zongshu said: "Those who get here in Liaodong, facing the snow and ice, fighting here can be considered heroes."
Like the traditional northern powers, Donghu powers like Wanyan Zongshu have no understanding of sea power and pirates, and they are even less likely to have an intuitive feeling. Like the northern senior officials of the Great Wei Dynasty, he has both an indifferent and despised side of sea power. Fighting for power at sea and killing pirates, in Wanyan Zongshu's view is just a playful play for children. He does not compete for power among the white mountains and black waters, faces the most cruel and arduous natural environment and powerful enemies, and does not face 200,000 Donghu cavalry, and is called heroes.
In the minds of Wanyan Zongshu and even the senior officials of Donghu, even if Li Youde and others were in charge, their status and importance were far higher than Xu Zixian, the founding prince.
This is something determined by the usual way of thinking and region. You cannot directly understand the south by looking at the information. At this moment, the Donghu nobles, like the people of the Great Wei in the north, have limited knowledge.
Yue Zhi smiled again. The conversation between the two ended here. Wanyan Zongshu's income was limited, and Yue Zhi was the same. The cruel siege was about to begin. Yue Zhi's current priority was to bring the 60,000 troops under his command back from the eyes of the palace soldiers.
Fortunately, it was almost dark. After talking for a while and delaying for a while, the army slowly retreated. When the twilight was low, the 60,000 troops finally began to retreat in big strides. Because it was almost dark, the palace tent army obviously had no plan to pursue. The two armies became farther and farther away, and finally completely separated.
Wanyan Zongshu did not point out Yue Zhi's little thoughts, and in fact he was not sure of taking it. If a Wei army suddenly attacked during the fierce battle and lost the Tashan Fort he took, Wanyan Zongshu doubted whether Yan's position could be saved. Even his life would be worrying.
As long as you guard the position in front of you, the retreating Wei army will still be in the pocket and cannot escape.
It depends on how Li Guorui, Yue Zhi and others make a decision. It will be quite difficult to make a decision.
"Xu Zixian, King Qin?" In the dusk, Wanyan Zongshu smiled gently and shook his head.
...
"It's really a slap, slap, Li Enmao is also a bastard. You can't redeem your sins if you die!"
In the Political Affairs Hall, many great envoys and privy envoys, including Zhang Guangen, all looked bleak, and a weak privy envoy actually fainted.
Han Zhong was not much better, and he roared in the Political Affairs Hall to lose his composure, which was something that the prime minister who had been in the country for more than ten years had never seen before.
The political affairs hall was filled with sorrow, and everyone felt a heavy crisis.
Li Enmao had already arrested Xu Ziwei and sent him to the capital. He apologized and said that he would continue to defend Songshan forts and would also defend Ningyuan. Everyone knew that he was talking nonsense. The Donghu people would not fight along the western Liaoning. If they were not crazy, they would not fight along the west of Liao. If they released 30,000 people from Yuguan, they would not be able to attack Donghu and 300,000. What's the use of capturing the forts and Ningyuan City?
What matters is that the 200,000 trapped army is the essence of the imperial guards of the Great Wei. Not to mention Li Guorui, Yue Zhi and others, any army in the trapped army may be the essence of the century-old generals in Hebei or Hedong and northwest. They have rich experience, extensive family knowledge, loyalty, ability, and connections. These generals and those elites who have fought for a hundred battles will be lost to the Yushui side, which is a price that the Great Wei cannot bear.
Even if Han Zhong, the prime minister and the emperor cannot bear it, the prestige of the two palaces and the emperor will decline sharply, which will make the local government dissatisfied, become dissatisfied, and even lose control of all walks of life.
The decline of the Great Wei Dynasty will inevitably accelerate, just like an out-of-control carriage that inevitably rushes to the cliff.
All present were the elites among the Great Wei elites, and everyone understood what the outcome would be if the Northern Expedition Army was destroyed.
"Can't we draw troops from Hedong, Qin Feng and other routes?" A political official from the magistrate said to Zhang Guangen: "Now there are still 100,000 troops outside Yu Pass. Another 100,000 troops must be drawn. We must open up Tashan and open up the food route..."
"Things that cannot be done." Zhang Guangen said: "There are 600,000 imperial guards, 300,000 outside Yu Pass, and there are more than 100,000 stationed in the south and the Central Plains. More than ten routes in Shandong, even if the troops are drawn from the south, there will be no time left. The army's food and grass can be enough for up to ten days. The order for our troops to be dispatched will reach almost the farthest places. There are tens of thousands of people in the capital, Jizhou and Yunzhou. We must defend against the Northern Barbarians and cannot draw any more people, otherwise the Northern Barbarians will be able to directly threaten the capital. Similarly, Qin Feng, Sichuan has only less than 100,000 people to defend against the Western Qiang, and they will be drawn out, and they will not want them all? Besides, there is not enough time..."
Zhang Guangen's face was as deep as a plow and had been plowed. In just a few days, the Privy Councilor of the Great Wei Dynasty had actually fallen into a collapse, and attending the current political affairs meeting was just a routine matter.
"Not only have no soldiers, but also no money..." Han Zhong also sat down, his face full of depressedness. He lost 200,000 main imperial guards in one battle. Han Zhong was also the first person in the history of the Great Wei Dynasty. In the future, he was destined to be famous in history.
Of course, Han Zhong himself understands the reputation.
If you mislead the country and have a traitor, you can't escape the evaluation of these four words.
Even, it is the traitor who lost his country...
"The stock of each stock is less than 2 million, and it will cost at least tens of millions of stakes to collect troops. The cost of armored weapons is more than this." The transport envoy Zheng Yumin also said: "There is also a spring tax to make up for the holes. The food is less than 3 million stones. The spring famine is in the summer and the harvest is hard to say whether it can be overcome..."
"Now we have to consider the worst situation." Han Zhong raised his head and said to everyone: "The northern border, Yuguan and Yumen Pass must recruit new troops to guard. Even if the Donghu people win, they will definitely be seriously injured. We will give us time to recruit and form a new imperial guard. We must select generals from the generals and appoint a smart and capable appeasement envoy who is wise and capable in military affairs..."
"The important thing is not to let the emperor make trouble, and the court officials are less selfish!" Zhang Guangen said to the head. Seeing Han Zhong's face unhappy, Zhang Guangen didn't care and continued, "Also, Wang Zhi should be rewarded, and if necessary, ask the King of Qin to lead the fleet northward to the north.
, and the Northern Expedition Army broke through to the sea, how much can it be rescued!"
A tower mountain and a ten-mile long moat certainly cannot block all places where they can go. The army can only break into pieces if necessary and run to the seaside in western Liaoning.
In the Battle of Songjin in history, the eight generals were defeated and left Hong Chengchou in Songshan Fortress. The Qing army's light cavalry chased and killed the fleeing Ming army. There were corpses everywhere on the coast of western Liaoning, and a large number of Ming troops drowned directly in the sea.
Zhang Guangen had never been to western Liaoning, but with a wooden sand table, his current method was the only way to save the lives of soldiers as much as possible.
"Hurry!" Zhang Guangen said: "Don't worry about anything, don't be lucky. Now, you have to make a decision while the army is still physically strong and has a try!"
Everyone looked at each other, Zhang Guangen was anxious and confused. What's the use of yelling with them? Now that the information is cut off, there is no way to give Li Guorui and Yuezhi instructions.
"The emperor ran out of the palace..." A little yellow party in the inner world ran to the political affairs hall panting, and he ran into the government office without caring about the ban.
"What other monsters are there?" Han Zhong's face was cold and he took the lead in walking.
After the news came back, the emperor's mind seemed a little abnormal. He walked in the palace with a sword every day, and there were several small yellow gates stabbed to death by the emperor.
This matter cannot be promoted, and of course, the emperor cannot be punished... The whole country is full of ministers, and the emperor kills people at most because of being unkind and unkind. Can he use it as a law?
When the ministers arrived at the inner east gate, the emperor with disheveled hair had already run out.
He walked with his sword, his eyes red. When he saw Han Zhong and others, the emperor seemed to have a strife.
"I am not crazy." The emperor said, "I want to personally fight to save Li Guorui and my army."
Han Zhong said coldly: "There is no money and food, and no army. Do you want to move forward alone?"
"I still have 30,000 imperial guards and thousands of guards..."
"The troops in the Beijing camp are useless, and Langwei is even more invincible." Han Zhong said bluntly: "Your Majesty should go back to the palace, so don't cause trouble."
"Is my husband not responsible?" The emperor said furiously: "Even if the affairs of the world are broken, it is the responsibility of me and my husband."
It turns out that this official is afraid of the hearts of the world, fear of being criticized by thousands of men, and fear of taking responsibility?
Han Zhong didn't know whether he was sneering or smiling bitterly. Indeed, he couldn't take off. No matter how much he had or had no choice, the bad things he used for Li Enmao were also true. He had selfish intentions and put Xu Ziwei's waste in Tashan. This was Li Enmao's biggest mistake.
The lightest thing is that the Taiwei must be stripped of the Taiwei and issued an edict to imprison it. It is hard to say whether he can survive or not.
Most of Xu Ziwei would not die, although he was the culprit, what could save him was not the identity of the royal family or the affection of the emperor's bloodline, but his two sons.
The two team envoys have entered the palace. Regardless of whether the procedures are right or wrong, entering the palace is a fact, and it may be the emperor in the future.
You can't kill the emperor's biological father, just like King Zhao, no matter how big the mistake you made, that is, you can't even eliminate the title. Xu Ziwei was more guilty, but he was just a ban and a ban, at most he was like this.
Unless it is the fall of the Great Wei country or the imperial system is deviated.
