"See your majesty."
Dai Zong came in and bowed respectfully.
"Excuse me, does Dai Zong have something to report here?"
Lin Chong looked at Dai Zong and asked.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the south of the Yangtze River.
It is said that Fangla has proclaimed himself king and divided his troops into three groups to attack Jiangning Mansion, Luzhou, and Huangzhou.
The troops are directed towards Jianghuai, Shouchun and other places.
The imperial court was frightened after receiving the intelligence and hastily mobilized troops to respond, but I am afraid that it cannot withstand it.
If Fang La breaks through the imperial defense line, the Huaihe River and the large areas in the south of the Yangtze River will all fall."
After Dai Zong finished speaking, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the chamberlain next to him.
The chamberlain took it and handed it to Lin Chong respectfully.
Lin Chong opened the letter and read it carefully.
The content of the letter was basically consistent with what Dai Zong said.
After putting down the letter, Lin Chong thought for a while and said to the chamberlain next to him, "Go and find Wu Shangshu Ling, the two national advisors, the former general, as well as General Wuyan and General Du Bo."
A chamberlain took the order and left.
"Bring a chair to Mr.
Dai, sit down and wait for a while."
Another chamberlain quickly moved a chair from the side.
Dai Zong thanked him and then sat down.
The residences of Wu Yong and others were not very far from the palace.
When choosing a house, they took into account the possibility that Lin Chong could summon him at any time.
Several people arrived one after another and were slightly startled when they saw Dai Zongzheng sitting here, and they first saluted Lin Chong.
Lin Chong ordered someone to give him a seat and then said, "Fang La became independent and sent troops to attack Jiangning Mansion and other places.
This is why I summoned several people here."
After that, he asked the chamberlain to hand the letter to several people.
Several people took the letter and read it one after another, and then exchanged glances with each other.
Finally, Wu Yong said, "Your Majesty, this matter seems to have nothing to do with us, but in fact it is closely related.
We must guard against it."
Lin Chong nodded and said, "Tell me in detail."
"Your Majesty, the world is nothing but Fang La, and the imperial court and us are competing for hegemony.
And Fang La, like us, wants to live in the Central Plains and then dominate the world.
Now Fang La's purpose of sending troops is very clear, which is to use the time when the court focuses all its energy on us to expand the results of the war as quickly as possible.
It would be best if we can directly attack Yingtian Mansion and eliminate the imperial court in one fell swoop.
If not, I think Fang La’s lowest goal is to capture the Shouchun and Huaihe areas to lay a solid foundation for his future march north."
After Wu Yong finished speaking, he glanced at Gongsun Sheng.
Gongsun Sheng continued, "Now that Fang La is launching an attack, the court will be defeated by Fang La due to lack of preparation in advance.
At that time, the court will have only two ways to stop Fang La.
One is to mobilize Tong Guan to lead the troops, and the other is to mobilize the Western Army to go forward.
Apart from these two places, it was difficult for the imperial court to organize an effective army.
Tong Guan from these two places is now stationed in Tokyo, and his main responsibility is to guard against us and protect the safety of the northern part of Yingtian Mansion.
The Western Army first resisted Xixia, but now Xixia can only protect itself, so the Western Army's duty has become to defend us.
Comparing the two times, the imperial court should send the Western Army to resist Fang La, while leaving Tong Guan to continue to defend us.
If the imperial court transfers the Western Army's General Lu in Weisheng and General Guan in Fenzhou, it will be freed, and then our opportunity will come."
After Gongsun Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Lin Chong with a smile.
The words had been made so clear that it was impossible for Lin Chong not to understand.

Lin Chong thought for a while and raised his head and said, "Our country of Ji was established because of war, it became strong because of war, and it is feared by everyone in the world because of war.
It can be said that the thing that our country of Ji is not afraid of most is war."
Now that Fang La has taken the initiative to launch a war, breaking the stable situation of the three kingdoms, it is time for us to take action.
Several of my beloved ministers went down to prepare and work with the Ministry of War to come up with a feasible plan, which will be discussed with the officials tomorrow morning."
Wu Yong and others stood up together and said "I obey the decree" and then slowly retreated.
Lin Chong picked up a memorial and threw it on the table without even looking at it.
He stood up and took a few steps back and forth, sighing and thinking deeply.
The scene that happened here is also happening in Yingtian Mansion.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
"Your Majesty, that Fang La army is too brave and we must find a way to stop it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if it breaks through the defense line, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this time Fang La took advantage of the court's unpreparedness to raise troops to invade the country, and the harm it caused was no less than that of the Liangshan bandits.
We should have prepared early."
Although Lin Chong had founded the country, people in the court still called him Liangshan.
Because of the title issue, something happened.
When Ji State was just established, an official called Liangshan Ji State during a morning court.
Huizong immediately scolded him and found an excuse to end the official transfer.
Investigated by Dali Temple.
From then on, no one in the court dared to mention the word Ji Guo again.
Huizong sat on the dragon chair and said calmly, "Now the imperial court is empty of troops.
If we want to mobilize troops, we can only mobilize them from the northern or western front.
However, there are armies of Liangshan bandits in both places, so they cannot be mobilized easily."
"But Your Majesty, once Fang La breaks through the defense line, the next place will no longer be defendable, and it is easy to approach Yingtian Mansion."
Huizong also knew that he had slighted Fang La before, so he transferred all his troops to the area bordering Liangshan.
Who knew that Fang La had been quietly accumulating strength before, but now he suddenly broke out and attacked immediately, leaving the court with no power to fight back.
"Let's wait for a while.
After all, there are 50,000 or 60,000 troops on the front line.
It won't be that easy."
Huizong was just halfway through speaking when General Manager Wei walked in with a slightly flustered expression.
"Your Majesty" Manager Wei bowed and saluted.
Huizong looked a little nervous when he saw the usually calm Manager Wei, and unexpectedly asked, "It's okay to say something if you have something to do."
"Yes, news just came that the defense lines of Jiangning Mansion and Huangzhou were breached by Fang La.
Now Fang La's army is heading towards Shouchun, Hefei," Wei Jian said with his head lowered.
"What?"
Before Song Huizong could say anything, a minister on the side screamed out in surprise, but then he realized that he was losing his temper and quickly stopped his voice.
Song Huizong also frowned.
He originally thought that the front line could hold out for a while so that the court would have enough time to mobilize troops and reinforcements.
Who knew that Jiangning Mansion and Huangzhou would be captured so quickly.
After these two places were breached, just as the official said just now, there was no danger of defending.
Everyone in the room turned their attention to Song Huizong.
They had said everything they could just say, and had finished analyzing what needed to be analyzed.
Now they were just waiting for Song Huizong to make up his mind.
Song Huizong sighed and thought to himself, "It's true that time has not waited for me."
"Send the order, appoint Zhong Shidao as the Pingnan Grand Marshal, and lead the 200,000 Western Army south to ping the invaders."
Song Huizong gave the order helplessly.

There is no way to mobilize the Western Army.
As Gongsun Sheng said, whichever is the lesser of the two, Tong Guan's army must not be moved.
In Song Huizong's heart, Lin Chong's threat is irreplaceable by others.
"I obey the order."
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bowed to accept the order
