[Chapter 180 A Bad Start]
Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
The enemy’s troops were pressing down on the territory, and the people were terrified. Even though Duke Cheng and the five-way army were stationed and assembled, the entire northern land was still covered with a dark cloud.
Looking around, the bustling and lively market has disappeared, and the soldiers will be running around all the time.
People on the road crowded shoulder to shoulder, pushing carts and horses, dragging their families and families, leaving the villages where they lived, and gathering in the heavily fortified Fucheng and the nearby Tunbao according to the arrangement of the government.
People can go, but a lot of livestock and food have to be left behind. Losses are unavoidable, but as long as people are still there and Duke Cheng guards the border to repel the golden thieves, these losses are nothing.
Moreover, the Northland has been stable for ten years, and everyone believes that Duke Cheng can still ensure the stability of the Northland, so despite the dark clouds, the people who are running and moving are busy but not panic.
But when the news reached the capital, the entire capital panicked and stabilized for ten years. However, more than 20 years ago, the golden thief broke through the capital and drove straight into the capital, and the memory of the emperor being kidnapped still remains in the hearts of many people.
The atmosphere in the hall was even more tense.
The court meeting lasted from dark to dark, and the important officials of the court were able to leave the palace and go home, and the next day continued.
“Hebei West Road and Hebei East Road are all under martial law, and the whole territory is closed to clear the road.” Ning Yan read out, and looked at the crowd, “Now that the thieves and slaves are overrunning the border, we are united, and we will repel the thieves.”
Sitting on the dragon chair seems to be Some anxious emperor interrupted him.
“I don’t want to listen to what Duke Cheng did.” He said, his expression full of exhaustion, and obviously he couldn’t sleep well for a few days, “Have you determined how many thieves and slaves came this time? Who is the commander?”
Ning Yan has not yet Speaking, Huang Cheng, who was sitting beside him, spoke first.
“Thirty thousand thieves and slaves, with Dapeng King Tuoba Wu as the commander,” he said.
Hearing the number and the commander in chief, there was a sound of inhalation in the hall.
Thirty thousand!
“At the time of the national disaster, there were only 20,000 thieves,” a gray-bearded official murmured.
“And this time it turned out to be Tuoba Wu as the commander.” Another official also muttered to himself.
When his brother Tuoba Su was shot to death by the rebel army of
Chengguo, the royal family of golden thieves fell into chaos. Tuoba Wu returned from a five-year escape to hack and kill his younger brother, and supported Tuoba Su’s eldest son to ascend to the throne, and was named Dapeng King.
Tuoba Wu had a good relationship with his brother, and at this time, he was aggressive, and he was definitely trying to take revenge.
Ning Yan clearly saw the emperor’s face turning pale, and he quickly raised his hand to signal the atmosphere in the courtroom.
“They take revenge? We are the deepest feud in the blood.” He shouted in a deep voice, “What are they afraid of with 30,000 thieves and our 45,000 soldiers in the Great Zhou?”
He said to the emperor.
“In the north there is the Duke of Chengguo and the Fifth Route Army, in the west there is Taiyuan in the east, in the east in Shandong, and in the south of Henan, there are a large number of troops in Henan. I am like a copper wall and an iron wall. If the golden thieves come aggressively, they are bound to return without success and kill them all. ”
Yes, that’s right, the soldiers who have been stable for ten years are strong and strong.
“Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, Your Majesty, how can our Dazhou soldiers fear the golden thieves. Back then, the golden thieves cut off my state and took my people. Today is also the time for us to take revenge and regain our lost territory.
” A minister stood up and kowtowed.
“Your Majesty, Emperor Renxiao is still imprisoned in the golden land. For the safety of the people, we have kept our promises. This time the golden thief broke the promise and broke the promise. I ask Your Majesty to order the army to welcome back the spirit of Emperor Renxiao.”
Their voices choked, and two more The old minister burst into tears, grabbing the ground with his head, and his gray beard became more and more messy.
This swept away the previous atmosphere of fear and terror in the hall, and replaced it with grief and anger.
And grief is the source of strength.
“Your Majesty, please fight!”
“Your Majesty, please mobilize your troops to the north.”
For a while, many ministers stood up and said.
The emperor was also comforted by this grief and anger, his expression returned to calm, and he sat up straight.
“My dears…” he said.
As soon as the words came out, a sharp announcement came from outside.
“Urgent report! Emergency report! Yaoziguan is lost! The golden thief has crossed the Juma River, Rongcheng is lost, and Xiongzhou is in an emergency!” With the
shouting, a guard rushed in, followed by the eunuch behind him, and the eunuch held high in his hand. an instrument.
The hall was suddenly silent.
Standing at the end of the queue, Ning Yunzhao raised his head.
“That’s not good,” he said to himself.
The hall became as lively as a market.
The eunuchs brought the map and placed it over, the emperor had already stepped down from the dragon chair, and the courtiers crowded in front of the map, watching a few generals point out the specific location.
“This route was the one that invaded Hejian Mansion before.”
“Last time I said negligence was justifiable, but what about this time?”
“It took so long to prepare for the battle, and it was easily broken by others. The Ansu Army was dead there. Is it?” The
noisy shouts kept asking.
With sweat on the forehead of the emperor, he supported the eunuch’s arm.
“Where is Duke Cheng?” he asked.
Ning Yan stretched out his finger and pointed to a spot.
“The Duke of Cheng is now in Suicheng.” He said, “Leading the Guangxin Army
to set up defenses.” “What defenses are deployed? What defenses are deployed? The golden thieves are all here…” A minister said anxiously.
“How about coming here?” Ning Yan also shouted, interrupting the minister’s words, and stretched out his hand to point at the Juma River line on the map, “The 30,000-strong army of Jinmen, under the gauntlet, broke through a Juma River in one go. What’s so strange about breaking the palace city?”
Everyone around was stunned, and the noise stopped.
“The war has just started, and the victory or defeat is uncertain. A momentary victory is not a victory, and a momentary defeat is not a defeat.” Ning Yan continued, reaching out and clicking on the map again, “I believe that in the near future, the army of Duke Chengguo will arrive. Now, that is the real battle, and I also believe that Duke Cheng will definitely win!”
There was a silence in the hall, which calmed Shi Cai’s irritability and panic.
“Yes, Lord Ning is right.”
“Yes, even though the gauntlet has been issued, this is still a surprise attack.”
“There are only three fortresses on the Juma River, how could it be an opponent of 30,000 troops. There was a voice of discussion in
the
hall again, and several generals stepped forward to point to the map, and introduced the deployment and assembly routes of the Yongxing Army in Baoding, Shun’an, etc., and repeatedly ensured that the troops were sufficient.
The emperor helped the eunuch to look better.
“Since the golden thieves dare to invade, we want them to know that they evaded what we were able to fight ten years ago, and ten years later, we can still do it.” Ning Yan said solemnly, “This battle , let the golden thieves be afraid when they hear about our Great Zhou, so that they will never dare to step into my Great Zhou again.”
Ning Yan turned around and saluted the emperor.
“Your Majesty, Wan Sheng!” He bowed and said.
All the ministers saluted.
“Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng.” The
emperor looked at the ministers and squeezed out a smile.
“Okay, okay, Wansheng.” He said with plastic surgery.
The atmosphere in the hall was warm again, and almost everyone bowed and shouted, except for Lu Yunqi, who was always carved out of wood and stone, and Huang Cheng, who was sitting opposite the King of Gifts.
For Lu Yunqi, he couldn’t hear anything except the emperor’s words, whether it was a family matter or Li Min’s life and death.
Huang Cheng, on the other hand, sat down and leaned over slightly, without raising his hand, his lowered eyes seemed to fall asleep.
