Several days have passed since Tian Shi failed to break out.
Wasion.
In the center of Washeng City, stands an extremely luxurious palace.
This is the pseudo-imperial palace built privately by Tian Hu after he became emperor.
In the Jingxin Pavilion, Tian Hu is drinking and having fun with his concubine Fan Meiren.
Now Tian Hu's power is much greater than in the original work.
Of course, this is thanks to Lin Chong, Wang Qing and Fang La.
If these three people hadn't involved most of the court's energy, he wouldn't have developed so fast.
"Hahaha, beauty, do it" Tian Hu's indulgent laughter could be heard from time to time in Jingxin Pavilion.
At this time, a young eunuch came in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Uncle Wu Guo needs to see you for something."
"Oh, uncle Guo is here.
Please invite him."
Tian Hu relied heavily on Wu Li, so he directly ordered someone to invite him in.
"Your Majesty" After a while, Wu Li walked in under the leadership of the young eunuch.
"Uncle, I don't want to be polite.
I don't know why uncle is here."
Tian Hu put down his wine glass and asked.
"Your Majesty, I just received an urgent request for help from the Major General, saying that he and General Ma Ling fell into Lin Chong's trap and are now trapped outside Xiangzhou City in a critical situation.
I hope your Majesty will send troops to rescue you quickly."
Wu Li replied with an anxious look on his face. road.
Tian Hu was shocked when he heard this.
He stood up and asked loudly, "What?
This happened?"
Shi'er and General Ma Ling together have a total of 80,000 troops.
How could they be trapped by Lin Chong?
Have things changed?"
After hearing this, Wu Li quickly took out the letter from his arms, held it to Tian Hu with both hands, and said, "This is the Major General's personal letter brought back by the messenger.
There are detailed records in it for the king to see."
Tian Hu took the letter and shook it open twice before reading.
The more Tian Hu read, the more he frowned.
Finally, he was so angry that he slapped the letter on the table and said angrily, "You are really confused.
You knew that the bandit reinforcements were coming.
Why didn't you retreat early?
So now you have missed the opportunity and are trapped in a tight siege." ,well" Originally, Tian Hu agreed to let Tian Shi lead the army because he wanted to train him so that he could achieve greater achievements in the future, but he did not expect this result.
"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this.
The most urgent task is to send troops to rescue as soon as possible, otherwise the Major General will be in danger."
Wu Li reminded him aloud.
After hearing this, Tian Hu's eyes widened and he loudly said, "Call the Hall of Officials to discuss matters."
After that, he waved his hands and strode out.
Wu Li lowered his head to salute and then followed Tian Hu away.
Above the main hall, Tian Hu was sitting on the throne with a sullen expression on his face.
The ministers below did not know what was going on.
Seeing Tian Hu's expression, they all lowered their heads, fearing that they would suffer an unreasonable disaster.
When all the officials gathered, Tian Hu said loudly, "I just received news that General Tian Shi, who led the army to attack Xiangzhou, fell into the bandits' treacherous plan and was trapped in a tight siege.
He couldn't break out of the siege and sent someone for emergency help.

I called you here just to discuss a way to save people and defeat the bandits."
Tian Hu was originally an Orion.
Although he is now the emperor, he still does not speak elegantly and still likes to be simple and rough.
Fan Quan, the head of the state who was standing below, thought about it and said, "I wonder how many troops the bandits have deployed in Xiangzhou, and how many troops the young general still has in his hands now?"
Fan Quan is a well-educated person, so he sees the problem fairly clearly.
"According to the letter asking for help, Lin Chong has personally arrived in Xiangzhou and mobilized more than 100,000 troops one after another.
General Tian Shi currently has about 40,000 troops.
However, after several failed breakthroughs, now The morale of the soldiers is very low," Wu Li replied.
After hearing this, Fan Quan nodded and said, "The situation is not the worst.
The young general is the son of the three kings, so there can't be any mistakes.
In addition, there are more than 40,000 troops and several generals who are besieged, so rescue is certain."
The only thing that needs to be saved is careful planning.
After all, the Liangshan bandits are not weak.
They have been fighting with the imperial court for several years.
Not only have they not been wiped out, but they have become more and more powerful and should not be underestimated. " "The head of the state must not increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige.
The bandits in Liangshan are becoming more and more powerful.
Aren't we the same?"
So don’t talk nonsense, just tell me what you can do.”
Tian Hu is a very arrogant person, so when he heard Fan Quan say that Liangshan should not be underestimated, he felt a little dissatisfied.
Fan Quan knew Tian Hu's temper and didn't take it seriously.
He really said, "The reason why Lin Chong came to Xiangzhou in person is not just because he wants to defeat the Major General, especially since he has assembled hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiangzhou alone.
It illustrates his ambition even more.
I think Lin Chong's purpose is most likely to take this opportunity to start an all-out war with us.
Lin Chong is extremely ambitious.
Every step he takes is planned before he makes a move.
He rarely fights uncertain battles.
Therefore, when we send troops to rescue the Major General, we must be prepared for a full-scale war.
First, orders should be sent to strengthen defenses in several places bordering the Liangshan forces, and additional manpower should be sent to places with small forces.
Once again, it is the candidate who will lead the rescue.
This rescue is extraordinary.
The bandits are most likely already prepared and are just waiting for our reinforcements to arrive.
Therefore, the leader must not only be skilled in martial arts, but also know how to strategize and anticipate the enemy first.
Only when you have the opportunity can you act.
The last thing is to be prepared for the court to take the opportunity to attack, because once we start a full-scale war with Liangshan, the court is very likely to take advantage of the situation to attack us.
After all, compared with Liangshan, we are equivalent to directly fighting and becoming a country of our own.
The above three points are what the veteran thinks.
I leave it to the king to decide how to make the specific decision."
Tian Hu sat there and listened to Fan Quan's words while nodding his head.
After Fan Quan finished speaking, Tian Hu said directly, "What the abbot said makes sense.
I will send people to Taiyuan, Xingzhou, Gaizhou, Zhaode and others immediately."
A decree was sent to them, ordering them to strengthen their defenses to prevent sneak attacks from Liangshan and the imperial court."
The one currently in charge of Taiyuan is Palace Commander Zhang Xiong, who has two generals under his command, namely Xiang Zhong and Xu Yue.
There are still 50,000 troops guarding Taiyuan, so they are quite powerful.
Xingzhou is a small city, and Tian Hu only sent two generals with 5,000 men to garrison there.
These two men were Bai Sen and Quan Hao.

As Gaizhou and Zhaode were bordering the imperial territory, Tian Hu sent two kings, Tian Bao, to lead a group of generals to guard Gaizhou, and General Sun Qi to lead a group of troops to guard Zhaode.
After Tian Hu finished his instructions, he said to the people below, "I wonder who is willing to lead troops to rescue Xiangzhou?"
The ministers and guards below all lowered their heads and looked at each other, but no one responded.
Tian Hu was about to get angry when he saw no answer, but Fan Quan said again, "Go back to your Majesty, I think Uncle Wu Guo is the best candidate."
Wu Li frowned when she heard Fan Quan recommending her, and then clenched her hands tightly in the wide sleeves of her robe.
Fan Quan and Wu Li were the father-in-law of the country and the uncle of the country.
Their daughters and sisters were both concubines of Tian Hu.
Although the two seemed to be in harmony on the surface, it was inevitable to fight overtly and covertly for favor in private
