Chapter 180: A Bad Start


The enemy soldiers pressed the border, and the people were terrified, even though there were Chengguo Gong and the Fifth Route Army to defend and assemble, the entire northern land was still shrouded in a dark cloud.

As far as the eye can see, the bustling and lively bazaar has disappeared, and the soldiers who come and go do not stop all the time, one by one, they are tightly dressed, which makes people look at it.

The people on the road rubbed shoulders one after another, pushed carts to drive horses, dragged families and mouths, left the villages where they lived, and gathered according to the arrangement of the government to the well-fortified Fucheng and the nearby Tunbao.

People can go, but a lot of livestock and food have to be left behind, and losses are inevitable, but as long as the people are still there, Chengguo Gong guards the border to repel the gold thieves, then these losses are nothing.

Moreover, the Northland has been stable for ten years, and everyone believes that Chengguo Gong can still keep the Northland stable, so although the clouds are thick, the people who are running and transferring are busy but not panicked.

But when the news reached the capital, the people in the entire capital panicked and were stable for ten years, but the memory of the golden thief who broke through the national capital more than 20 years ago and drove straight into the emperor still remains in the hearts of many people.

The atmosphere in the court was even more tense.

The court meeting lasted from dawn until dark, and the officials and ministers were able to leave the palace and go home, and it continued the next day.

"Hebei West Road and Hebei East Road are all under martial law, and the whole territory is closed and cleared."

Ning Yan read out, and looked at everyone again, "Now that the thieves and slaves are pressing the realm, we will work together to repel the thieves." ” The emperor, who seemed to be a little anxious sitting on the dragon chair, interrupted him.

"I don't want to hear what Cheng Guogong did."

He said, his expression was full of exhaustion, and it was obvious that he had not slept well for a few days, "Have you determined how many thieves and slaves came this time and who is the commander?"

Before Ning Yan could speak, Huang Cheng, who was sitting on the side, spoke quietly.

"There are 30,000 thieves and slaves, and Tuoba Wu, the king of Dapeng, is the commander."

He said.

Hearing this number and the commander, there was a sound of inhalation in the court.

Thirty thousand "There were only 20,000 thieves at the time of the national crisis."

A gray-haired official muttered.

"And this time it turned out to be Tuoba Wu as the commander."

Another official was also talking to himself.

In that year, his brother Tuoba Su was shot dead by the Chengguo Gong rebellion, the gold thief royal family fell into chaos, Tuoba Wu fled for five years and returned to kill his brother, supported Tuoba Su's eldest son to ascend the throne, and was named the king of Dapeng.

Tuoba Wu has a good relationship with his brother, and he is menacing at this time, and he must want revenge.

Ning Yan clearly saw that the emperor's face turned pale, and he hurriedly raised his hand to signal when he was looking at the atmosphere in the court.

"Their revenge and hatred of us is the blood revenge."

He shouted in a deep voice, "They are 30,000 thieves, what are we afraid of the 45,000 soldiers in the Great Zhou?"

He said and bowed his hand to the emperor.

"There is the Fifth Route Army of the Marshal of Chengguo in the north, Taiyuan in the west, Shandong in the east, and Henan in the southeast.

Yes, that's right, ten years of stable soldiers are strong.

"Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, Your Majesty, how are our soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty afraid of the gold thief, when the gold thief cut my state and county and took away my people, today is also the time for us to take revenge and regain the lost land."

Several other ministers stood up and prostrate.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Renxiao is still imprisoned in Jindi, for the safety of all the people, we are committed to keeping our promises, this time the gold thief broke the contract, and the minister asked His Majesty to order the army to welcome back the spirit of Emperor Renxiao."

Their voices were choked, and two old ministers cried, grabbing the ground with their heads, and their gray beards became more and more messy.

This swept away the previous atmosphere of fear and horror in the hall, and replaced it with grief and indignation.

And grief and anger are also a source of strength.

"Your Majesty, please fight" "Your Majesty, please mobilize troops and immediately go north."

For a while, many ministers stood up and said.

The Emperor was also soothed by this grief and indignation, and his expression regained his composure, and he sat up straight.

"Lovers," he said.

As soon as the words came out, I heard a sharp proclamation from outside.

"Urgent report, urgent report, Harrier Pass is lost, the gold thief has crossed the Juma River, Rongcheng is lost, and Xiongzhou is in an emergency" With shouts, a janissary rushed in, followed by a eunuch holding a document aloft in his hand.

There was a sudden silence in the court.

Ning Yunzhao, who was standing at the end of the queue, raised his head.

"That's, it's not good."

He said to himself.

The main hall became as lively as a bazaar.

The eunuchs carried the map, the emperor had already stepped down from the dragon chair, and the courtiers were crowded in front of the map, watching several generals point out the specific location.

"This route is the same as the previous invasion of Hejian Province."

"The last time I said that negligence was excusable, what about this time" "After preparing for so long, it was easily broken by someone, is the Ansu army dead over there?"

Loud shouts and questions continued.

Fine sweat broke out on the emperor's forehead and he held the eunuch's arm.

"Where's Cheng Guogong?"

he asked.

Ning Yan stretched out his hand and pointed to a location.

"Chengguo Gong is now in Suicheng."

He said, "Lead the Guangxin army to deploy." ” "What is this cloth, what is the defense, what is the defense, this gold thief has come," a minister said urgently.

"What about coming here" Ning Yan also shouted, interrupting the minister's words, and stretched out his hand to point to the line of the Juma River on the map, "The 30,000 Jin army has issued a war letter, and with one blow, it is strange to break through a Juma River and break through the Fucheng." ” The people around were stunned, and the noise stopped.

"The war has just begun, victory or defeat is uncertain, a temporary victory is not a victory, and a temporary defeat is not a defeat."

Ning Yan continued, stretched out his hand again and tapped on the map, "I believe that the army of Chengguo Gong will arrive in the near future, and that will be the real battle, and I also believe that Chengguo Gong will definitely win."

There was silence in the hall, and this silence calmed down the irritability and panic of Shicai for a while.

"Yes, Lord Ning is reasonable."

"That's right, although the war book has been issued, this is still a raid."

"There are only three tunbao on the other side of the Juma River, how can it be the opponent of an army of 30,000."

The hall resounded with discussions, and several generals stepped forward to point to the map, introducing the deployment and assembly routes of the Baoding Shun'an Yongxing Army and so on, and repeatedly ensuring that the troops were sufficient.

The emperor helped the eunuch and his face improved.

"Since the gold thieves dare to invade, we want them to know that they can be beaten ten years ago, and ten years later, we can still do."

Ning Yan said solemnly, "This battle made the golden thieves afraid when they heard about our Great Zhou, so that they would never dare to step into my Great Zhou realm again." ” Ning Yan turned to the emperor and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Wan Sheng," he said, bowing down.

A group of ministers gave their salutes.

"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins."

The emperor looked at his ministers and squeezed out a smile.

"Good, good, Wansheng."

He said with plastic surgery.

The atmosphere in the main hall was warm again, and almost everyone bowed and shouted, except for Lu Yunqi, who was like a stone carving of wooden stakes forever, and Huang Cheng, who was given the gift to sit opposite him.

For Lu Yunqi, apart from the emperor's words, he couldn't hear anything else, whether it was the major affairs of the family and the country, or the death of Li Min.

Huang Cheng, on the other hand, sat and leaned over slightly, without raising his hand, and his lowered gaze seemed to be asleep
