Qinglan country broken, Qinglan royal family and a cadre of important ministers were temporarily imprisoned in one place, the New Year is approaching, the king of war ordered all the soldiers to camp in Qinglan Palace, rest for two days.Delicious imperial food, reward the hard work of the soldiers.The accompanying military doctor treated the wounded soldiers in the palace, this war against Qinglan and Donghua has ended half of the war, and the 200,000 elite soldiers and iron cavalry under the command of the king of war have lost only a few hundred people, and the serious injuries and minor injuries are only a thousand people.For any brutal war, these casualties are so light that they are almost negligible.For the casualties, the king of war directly listened to the war report, and before the New Year's Day, the emperor decreed that the family members should be given the greatest amount of compensation.Feng Cang's hearts were boiling, and the officers and men of the whole army were even more vigorous.Two days later, the king of war reorganized his troops and issued a war post against Donghua, who was already panicked.When he received the war post from the minister, his face was pale, and he had been restless like an ant on a hot pot for the past few days, but when he saw the post handed by the minister, he couldn't help but say angrily: "What about the person who sent the war post?"
”"He rode a fast horse and sent the war post directly to the minister's mansion."
The middle-aged minister replied tremblingly, "Then he dropped a sentence directly, afraid that Your Majesty would ......
Afraid that His Majesty would be angry and angry, he was afraid and uneasy, so he directly killed him to vent his anger, so this battle post was entrusted to the minister. ”He didn't dare to say that when that person spoke, the tone of ridicule and ridicule was that he regarded their emperor as a cowardly person at all, and when he was afraid that their majesty would not be able to stand the fright and anger and kill people, he also specifically mentioned the Donghua envoy who was killed by Empress Fengcang's cane.The night was furious, and with a snap, he threw the battle post under the steps."
Someone!"
He raised his voice and roared, "Let An Liufeng and Mu Xuanqing come over to see me immediately!"
”"Yes!"
The guards took the order and left.Ye Lintian suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and paced in the main hall with his hands behind his back."
Are the defenders everywhere ready for battle?""
Back to the emperor, the defenders of the city are ready."
An old minister bowed down and said, his expression was a little solemn, "But Qinglan's lightning speed of destroying the country is shocking and uneasy, and it also greatly reduces the morale of the defenders in various places, I am afraid that the few cities near Qinglan will be difficult to resist Feng Cang's 200,000 iron horsemen." ”The elite soldiers under the command of the king of war were not terrible, but they took the lead and destroyed Qinglan in such a short period of time, which undoubtedly boosted the morale of those soldiers, and at the same time, the benevolent demeanor shown by Emperor Fengcang made these soldiers more proud of the king's battle.In contrast, Donghua's morale has plummeted, and what is particularly fatal is that the army's war horse equipment has not yet been implemented.The outcome of such a battle with a huge disparity in strength is almost predictable.Hearing this, his face was even more ugly.Half an hour later, Donghua's two most powerful generals, An Liufeng and Mu Xuanqing, appeared in the main hall, and after respectfully saluting, they stood aside."
How prepared are you for the war?"
Ye Lintian asked in a deep voice, trying to suppress the impatience in his heart and maintain the demeanor of the king of a country.However, everyone present could see that their Majesty had pinned all his hopes on the two generals in front of him."
Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses guarding the imperial city are ready."
An Liufeng replied respectfully, "But the defenders of the various state cities are obviously not the opponents of the Fengcang War King, and if Your Majesty wants to defend the city outside the imperial capital, he must send troops to reinforce it." ”But it is useless to send reinforcements at the moment.Because there are no war horses.A few days ago, tens of thousands of war horses were lost, and the night came to order the military department to urgently deal with the purchase of war horses, just to deal with Feng Cang's soldiers and horses, but the war horse family that had business dealings with the imperial court in the past actually disappeared this time.The household department allocated a million taels of silver, but did not buy a single war horse.This incident is obviously weird, and people have to think deeply.Ye Lintian naturally knows about such things, and is even more angry and suspicious, but now, what is the use of more doubts?
A soldier without a war horse, no matter how brave he is, how can he be the opponent of Fengcang Iron Cavalry?
Even if you go to the battlefield, it's just an increase in human shields."
Send troops from the imperial city to support, if the Fengcang army is like breaking through Qinglan City, it will attack the territory of Donghua like a bamboo, and the imperial capital will also be in danger."
The old prime minister, who was already old, frowned, and his expression could not hide his worry, "Please think twice about this matter." ”"The enemy army has already hit my eyes, and I just don't point at my nose and shout, how can I think twice?"
Ye Lintian coldly reprimanded, and turned his head to look at the two generals standing aside, "General An, General Mu, I order you to lead 100,000 soldiers in the east and west battalions, one person to intercept, and unite the Dingzhou and Lingzhou garrisons to drive out the Fengcang soldiers and horses!"
General Mu is responsible for guarding the imperial city, swearing to defend the territory of Donghua to the death, and will never allow a single soldier of foreign enemies to invade the territory of Donghua!
”"Command!"
An Liufeng and Mu Xuanqing knelt down on one knee at the same time, respectfully received the order, and got up to leave."
The Book of War."
Ye Lintian looked coldly at another old minister in the palace, and said sharply: "The household silver has been allocated for more than half a month, why is the war horse still missing?"
What did all those royal merchants do?
Now that the country is in trouble, are they all going to be turtles with shrunken heads?!
”The military department Shangshu and the two squires hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "The minister deserves to die-" "You really deserve to die!"
”Ye Lintian's expression was cold and angry, and his eyes were gloomy and murderous, "Those few imperial merchant families were all recommended by you, and I trusted you so much that I handed over all the war-related business to them, and the result?"
That's how you treat my trust?!
I tell you, if the territory of Donghua is not protected, you are heinous sinners!
”The aftermath fell, and the night was angry and kicked a few times mercilessly, "Damn!
Damn it!
”The military department Shangshu was kicked down, and he got up and knelt down tremblingly, kowtowing in fear, "The ministers are guilty!"
Confession!
”The old prime minister looked at the scene in front of him silently, expressionless, and did not say a word.The military department is indeed derelict in its duties, but if they are heinous sinners, what is the emperor himself?
As the monarch of the country, the civil strife had just subsided, and it was the time when everything was in ruins, benevolent government benefited the people, and established prestige, but he ignored the dissuasion of the courtiers, listened to the slander of outsiders, and took the initiative to raise troops to cross Qinglan, and coveted and offended Empress Fengcang.Donghua has today's result, which is the king's rebellion against the sky and the calamity brought to the country.
