To those present, this is a piercing word!

Shang Jianxiong was even more suffocated in his chest, why did he carry out that great purge back then? What he was afraid of was this out-of-control situation! As a result, the purge was not complete, and the out-of-control situation that he least wanted to see still appeared.

The resentment against the three major factions is even deeper to the bones, if it weren't for the constraints of the three major factions, how could they not be cleaned thoroughly back then?

However, then again, it was the power of the three major factions that was able to successfully purge back then, otherwise there would be no way to do it in the face of a group of generals who held military power, and they would not dare to do it. It's a pity that he can't read the good of the three major factions, and only remembers the bad side.

What made him even more sad was that things had come to this point, and he no longer dared to remove Shang Chaozong's military power, and he didn't dare to make that will easily.

At this moment, the chief eunuch Tian Yu walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Gong Lince, the head of Zijin Cave, has already set off to go to the front line to find Meng Shanming. ”

The situation is like this, the military power in the hands of the imperial court is out of control, and the people of the three major factions must be invited to solve it.

Tong Mo shook his head when he heard this: "I hope the head of the palace can solve this matter." ”

Shang Jianxiong said in a deep voice: "You can't pin all your hopes on the three major factions, you must make preparations with both hands. Spread the secret decree, order the men and horses gathered in the north to prepare, and once the three major factions fail to solve the problem, they will immediately dispatch a group of galloping to the aid of the Beijing Division!"

Shang Yongzhong, who was the Great Sima, had to remind, "Your Majesty, once the troops and horses gathered in the north are withdrawn, the defense line is relaxed, and the Korean army may enter at any time!"

Shang Jianxiong was furious, grabbed the paperweight on the case and smashed it out, and scolded angrily: "It's not a good thing that you stupid person did, if you don't let Wu Gongling escape, how can there be trouble?"

With a click, the paperweight fell to the ground, Shang Yongzhong didn't dare to dodge if he wanted to, he was hit in the shoulder, and his painful expression twitched.

didn't dare to say anything, but he was very aggrieved in his heart, saying that peacetime is the world of civil officials, and in times of war is the world of military attachés, he feels aggrieved by himself.

Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng glanced at each other, they could understand His Majesty the Emperor's mood, once the capital was lost, and the imperial army could not be mobilized to help, this would have an unimaginable impact on His Majesty's prestige.

What's more, the status of Jingshi is too important to be lost.

Once faced with the situation of having to evacuate the Beijing Division, not to mention whether the officials and their families of the Beijing Division can be abandoned, it is not difficult to imagine what the countless concubines in His Majesty's harem will suffer once they fall into the hands of the rebellious army, and how can His Majesty be embarrassed?

If you throw away a large number of court officials and only take the concubines, that is, you want the beauty not to come back, and His Majesty the Emperor will not want to come back, without the support of the following officials, the emperor and a few court officials can control the entire Yan Kingdom?

Of course, for the top members of the imperial court, who are ranked as the third duke, it is really to the point of evacuating, and their families and the imperial court will find a way to get out with them no matter what, as for the other officials, it is difficult to say.

The problem now is that we can't openly let the officials of the Beijing Division find a way to send their families away first, otherwise the people are not blind, and how can the people not see so many officials transferring their families? The consequences will be unimaginable, and before the enemy army can attack, the Beijing Division will fall into complete chaos.

This is the difficulty of running a big family business, and there are too many worries in all aspects.

The Song army waved its troops to take Yanjing directly, which brought unimaginable panic to Yan Ting, and the strategy of Luo Zhao, the governor of the Song army, can be said to have hit the soft underbelly of Yan in one fell swoop.

......

With Meng Shanming ordering the withdrawal of troops and giving up the blockade of the Song army, the Song army was almost unimpeded in the territory of Yan State along the way.

There is also a little trouble, the left-behind people in the state capitals of Yan State are constantly harassing, and digging roads, blocking roads or broken bridges, etc., in short, they are trying their best to delay the speed of the Song army's military horses, but they can only delay a little, and they can't stand it at all.

The army marched forward for a temporary rest, and a post station where people went to the empty building became a temporary Chinese military tent.

Since the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate came up with the Transmission Golden Wings for sale, the role of the Zhuguo Post Station has weakened.

Smoke burned in the post station, and in the post station lobby, in the face of the hanging map, Luo Zhao's mood was a little heavy, and Meng Shanming's actions caught him off guard.

Su Yuanbai, Dong Yinglai, and Chang Fei all looked back at Wen You, who was walking in quickly outside the door.

Wen You nodded slightly to a few people, and walked up to Luo Zhao to report: "The spies reported that Meng Shanming is indeed evacuating the people of Yan Kingdom. Meng Shanming gathered three million people and reorganized the army into five ways to retreat, all in the direction of the Dongyu River. ”

The Dongyu River is the big river that Yan and Song divided the river to govern, and when they heard such news, Su Yuanbai, Dong Yinglai and Chang Fei, who were drinking tea, couldn't sit still, and they all put down their teacups and stood up.

I only heard Wen You continue: "According to the spies in the area of the Eastern Regions River, the Yan army is cutting down trees and making wooden platoons, obviously preparing for the army to cross the river. It seems that Meng Shanming wants to give up rushing to help Yanjing and attack our Great Song Dynasty instead. ”

Su Yuanbai said: "Could it be that Meng Shanming can really sit back and watch Yanjing fall?"

"Alas!" Luo Zhao suddenly stared at the map and sighed, "It's me who underestimated Meng Shanming's influence in Yan Kingdom, I didn't expect him to be able to restrain Yan Kingdom's men and horses so quickly, as soon as he got started, he pinched the advance and retreat of the Yan Army in his hands, like an arm and a finger! Yan Country is so chaotic, the army is disheartened, and he is so quickly put together, this old guy is really not simple." ”

Dong Yinglai: "Didn't the Metropolitan Governor say that the Yan Imperial Court would die that he would come to the aid to intercept our army, and it would make him exhausted?"

Luo Zhao: "That's for sure! The situation within the courts of various countries is much the same, it is nothing more than to see which monarch controls the balance well, and there is no shortage of selfish villains in any country's court, and in case of trouble, they must think of protecting themselves first, how can those people care about the life and death of the soldiers below, in their opinion, if they can't even protect them, what is the point of the life and death of the soldiers below? It is inevitable that even the decree urging Meng Shanming to pursue and intercept our army is inevitable. It's just..."

He paused for a moment, stared at the map and shook his head: "According to the previous prediction, Meng Shanming will have to obey the orders of the imperial court, and he will have to be exhausted, and then he will be consumed to death by our army." I really didn't expect Meng Shanming to control the military power so quickly, look at his current moves... He is now absolutely holding the military power and self-respecting against the will of Yan Ting, he knows the key to life and death, and it is unlikely that he will obey the orders of the imperial court again, it is estimated that he will be disobeyed by the foreign monarch's life, I am afraid that his attempt to make him tired and want to kill him is about to be shattered, he does not eat this set at all, this old guy's methods on the battlefield are indeed old and spicy!"

Chang Fei said in a deep voice: "Wouldn't it be troublesome once he invades the territory of my Song Kingdom, should my army retreat and turn to attack?"

Wen You shook his head and said: "It's not proper! Retreating now, it just happened to fall for Meng Shanming's tricks, just let Meng Shanming solve the danger of Yanjing, but let Meng Shanming prove that he was right to resist the will of the imperial court, this must be Meng Shanming's scheme." ”

Luo Zhao bowed slightly, this was his dilemma, he didn't expect that Meng Shanming could quickly control the people of Yan under such chaos in Yan Kingdom, and the other party only withdrew the warring army, which put him in a dilemma.

Speaking of which, the reason for the miscalculation is that in the final analysis, he didn't expect Meng Shanming to be able to pinch the people of Yan Country so quickly.

A person who has been out of the power of the Great Yan Army for a long time, and is still a crippled old man, facing the princes of all parties who support the army and respect themselves, and facing the incompatible imperial army, but as soon as he returns, he has the situation in hand, and he once again grasps the dominance of the Yan Army in an instant.

Others can't realize it, but as a person who has been in the military for a long time, he can best understand what this means, which is truly amazing!

This was something he Luo Zhao had never dreamed of before, even if it was a fait accompli in front of him, he was still a little unimaginable.

Chang Fei stared at Wen You: "Is it possible to let Meng Shanming attack my Great Song Dynasty?"

Luo Zhao sneered, "How can my Great Song Dynasty be so easy to attack, how can my army attack without defending the rear, there are two million heavy troops along the Dongyu River, defending according to the danger, the river is difficult to cross, in the face of resistance, three million men and horses want to easily break through our defense line?"

Su Yuanbai was puzzled: "Since you are so sure, why is the Metropolitan Governor still hesitant to face the map?"

Luo Zhao waved his hand, "It's not that I hesitate, but I'm calculating how long the grain and grass in Meng Shanming's hands can last." This determines whether our army will continue to carry out the original plan or retreat to attack. ”

Su Yuanbai sighed, "Does the Metropolitan Governor have a decision?"

Luo Zhao's gaze fell back on the map, and once again stared at the defense men and horses arranged along the Dongyu River of the Song Kingdom, pondered it repeatedly, and repeatedly demonstrated the attack and defense in his heart.

He stood motionless for nearly half an hour.

Several people knew that he was going to make a major decision and was thinking carefully, so they didn't dare to disturb him or disturb his train of thought easily, and they all waited quietly.

After a while, Luo Zhaochang exhaled a breath, and his eyes became resolute and said: "The grain and grass in Meng Shanming's hands lasted less than ten days, and the heavy troops I defended along the river according to danger were not paper-paste, I repeatedly deduced, even if he was Meng Shanming, I don't believe that my army's defense line could not hold out for even ten days." Meng Shanming's move is afraid that he still wants to lure my men and horses to retreat and relieve the siege of Yanjing. ”

Looking back at everyone, "The national war is fought with national strength, and grain and grass are the fatal key points of the Yan army! Meng Shan Ming has not been able to attack for a long time, and the grain and grass are exhausted, so he will inevitably be defeated without a fight, so why should he retreat? Now that I retreat, I will fall for his tricks, and once he succeeds, it will be tantamount to letting him prove to Yan Jing that his strategy is right, it will give him greater autonomy, and it will make it easier for him to control the men and horses of the imperial court, and our army will fight back against a group of such men and horses that is not good for our army. Now when we continue to march towards Yanjing and continue to put pressure on Yanjing, Yanguo has nothing to worry about, and our important strategy is still to force South Korea to send troops!"

He raised his hand and slapped it on the map on the wall, and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, we can't let Meng Shanming hold our nose, the army will continue to move forward, and the plan to take Yanjing will remain unchanged!"
