"Your Majesty, what happened in Yecheng." Seeing that Shi Hu was angry, Peach Leopard hurriedly asked.

Shi Hu threw the letter to the ground and shouted: "Hmph, Murong Hao took advantage of this king's southern expedition to lead an army of 100,000 to hoard Fancheng, and looked at Youzhou, and the forward Murong Ke even captured many cities in the north of Youzhou, which is really unreasonable." ”

"Ahh There is such a thing. All the generals in the tent were shocked, and they looked at each other for a while.

Seeing this, the peach leopard arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the main forces of my Great Zhao are all in the south, and the defenders of Youzhou are only seventy or eighty thousand, but I am afraid that they are not the opponents of Murong Hao's 100,000 tiger and wolf army!" It's a good idea to plan ahead. ”

"Well, Peach Leopard, what do you have a good plan?" Shi Hu asked.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the last general, it is the best policy to immediately transfer elite soldiers and fierce generals from the Jiangnan front line and return to Youzhou." Peach Leopard replied truthfully.

"Hmph, the Jin army intends to go north and smash Yecheng, how can I draw the army of the southern expedition at will, besides, this king is driving in person, and there are not many soldiers and horses with him, so it is better to let the 100,000 troops left in Yecheng reinforce Youzhou!" Shi Hu was obviously unwilling to weaken the strength of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of Yecheng shoulder the heavy responsibility of encircling Gyeonggi, and they must not be transferred to Youzhou, in case Murong Hao's iron cavalry bypasses the fortifications of the various armies in Youzhou and goes straight to Yecheng, the consequences are unimaginable." Peach Leopard died.

"Yes! Your Majesty, Yecheng is an important place in Gyeonggi, and soldiers and horses are transferred abroad, in case someone takes the opportunity to rebel, we will be homeless. ”

"Your Majesty, the famous generals of our dynasty are all in the south, and those mediocre generals left behind in Youzhou and the capital are only afraid that they are not Murong Hao's opponents, and the transfer of troops to help is secondary, and it is more important to transfer a general back to Beijing."

The ministers expressed their opinions and spoke to Shi Hu one after another.

After listening to the opinions of the ministers, Shi Hu felt that it was very reasonable, he thought for a while, and asked: "You Aiqing think that which general can be transferred back to Youzhou to resist Murong Hao. ”

"The king, the last general, Tao Leopard, is willing to lead the troops back to Youzhou."

"The king, the last general Zhixiong, is willing to go to Youzhou to block Murong Hao from going south."

As soon as Shihu Chrysostom opened, Taobao and Zhixiong immediately hugged their fists and asked for their lives.

"Okay, Peach Leopard, Zhixiong, this king will give you this opportunity to make meritorious contributions. You must block Murong Hao for this king. Shi Hu gave the order.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Peach Leopard and Zhixiong hugged their fists to lead their lives.

When General Zhang Jackal heard this, he hurriedly objected: "Your Majesty, you must not. ”

"Why?" Shi Hu frowned, and Peach Leopard and Zhixiong also looked at Zhang Jackal in surprise.

Zhang Jackal played slowly: "Your Majesty, last year's Northern Expedition, General Taobao and General Zhixiong were all defeated by the Yan army, and letting the generals of the defeated army go to resist the Yan army will only make the Yan army laugh shamefully and let my Youzhou soldiers be discouraged, so it is absolutely impossible." ”

"Hmph, Zhang Jackal, what do you mean." Zhixiong suddenly became furious.

"Your Majesty, the last general is here to be ashamed." The peach leopard was also furious.

When Shi Hu heard this, he hesitated for a while.

Seeing that Shi Hu was silent for a long time, Zhang Jackal continued: "Your Majesty, that Murong Hao father and son are very good at using soldiers, especially that Murong Ke, who defeated my 100,000 army with only two thousand elite cavalry, and even the king almost ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Jackal didn't dare to say any more.

"Hmph......" When Shi Hu heard this, he was really furious, glaring at Zhang Jackal viciously, the 100,000 army was defeated by Murong Ke's only 2,000 people, which was a great shame for Shi Hu.

Seeing that Shi Hu was furious, Zhang Jackal immediately changed his words and said: "The king is a wise and martial monarch, Murong Ke is a milky child, in terms of talent, how can Murong Ke compare with the king, last year's defeat of our army can only be regarded as Murong Ke's luck, just a fluke." ”

Listening to Zhang Jackal's compliments, Shi Hu's face softened slightly, paused, and said: "Losing to Murong Ke, a milky child who has not dried up, is the king's carelessness, but this king can also see that this Murong kid has a little real ability, much better than the king's sons, Murong Hao is really lucky!" Got such a good son. ”

When Zhang Jackal heard this, he flattered and said: "Your Majesty, this Murong Ke has a little ability, but in the battle of Changli last year, he was blocked by the king's adopted grandson, General Shi Min, and failed to move forward. ”

When Shi Hu heard this, he was in a good mood and said loudly: "That's right! How did this king forget Min'er, the battle of Changli, if it wasn't for Min'er blocking the pursuers, the consequences would be really unimaginable! Where is Shi Min now? ”

"Back to the king, General Shi Min just broke through the city of Cannan a few days ago, and now he should be stationed in the area of Cannan." A minister spoke.

"Okay, great, Min'er has made another great contribution." Shi Hu was very happy in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Immediately send an order, let General Shi Min's headquarters gallop to Youzhou in the starry night, and at the same time, let Shi Min himself go to Qiaocheng to see him, go quickly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, General Shi Min is the first warrior of my Great Zhao, let him gallop to Youzhou, it must be foolproof." As soon as the herald left, Zhang Jackal patted his ass.

"The order went down, the army cultivated in Qiaocheng for three days, and after three days, it marched into the north bank of the Huai River, captured the cities of Ping'a, Huaiyuan, and Yicheng, and then, crossed the Huai River in the south, occupied the cities of Dangtu, Hefei, and Liyang, and finally, approached the river and looked at the south of the Yangtze River."

"The king." The generals in the tent clenched their fists together.

#######

The city was lost, Mao Bao and Fan Jun drowned in the river, the south was lost, the general Cai Huai was martyred, and the entire northern border of Jingzhou fell into the hands of the enemy one after another, and the general Yu Liang of the expedition to the west was bedridden, and the main force of the 100,000 troops of the Jingzhou army fought with the elite soldiers of the Zhao army, and did not have the upper hand at all.

These unfavorable news, one by one, were in the palace of Jiankang, which made Sima Yan, who was sitting on the dragon collapse, extremely uneasy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now, Hu Lu has invaded my Jingzhou, my uncle is sick in bed, and the Jingzhou army has not won for a long time, what are your good strategies?" On the main hall of the palace, Sima Yan asked the ministers for a strategy to retreat from the enemy.

"Back to the emperor, for the sake of today's plan, the only way to send reinforcements to reinforce Jingzhou is the best policy." A minister spoke.

Sima Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Aiqing thinks which reinforcement should be sent." ”

"Your Majesty, now, the main forces of Jing and Yang in my Great Jin Dynasty are all confronting the enemy, and only the 40,000 horses of the Northern Expeditionary Army stationed in the capital can be mobilized!"

"The Northern Expeditionary Army is a winning army, I believe that the Northern Expeditionary Army will definitely be able to defeat Hu Lu, so I will send the Northern Expeditionary Army to reinforce Jingzhou." When Sima Yan heard this, his heart was a little settled.

"Your Majesty, the major affairs of the country of soldiers should not be reckless, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to listen to the opinions of the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army!" Another minister built yì road.

When Sima Yan heard this, he said: "It's okay, come here, immediately send an order, let the Northern Expeditionary Army commander and above the generals enter the palace to see the driver." ”
