Chapter 420

Sanguan fell, and the dynasty was shaken.

On the court meeting.

The ministers were already arguing.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves unexpectedly attacked the pass of the empire."

"It's that night raider again, damn it!"

"Counterattack, must counterattack! To revitalize the country!"

"..."

"Your Majesty, we must immediately set up such a force to guard against night attacking enemies."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"..."

Civil servants and military generals have been completely unable to calm down. Before, they were the main attack, and they didn't have much sense of crisis. After all, there are millions of troops, and they may not be able to win quickly.

But never lose quickly.

Which material.

The situation took a turn for the worse.

How long has it been? If you lose three of the four barriers, who can bear it?

It's like an honest person, everyone thinks you can't fight back, but suddenly, he gets violent, grabs your collar, and then slaps you across the face.

Swell directly.

pain!

Many people are aware of this failure, and it is impossible to eliminate the rebels in the short term.

daytime.

The advantage gained by working so hard, they can smooth it out for you at night, and return to the past. Therefore, the ministers have raised it to the level of the enemy.

Naturally, I also want to have such a force.

. . .

On the high platform.

The little emperor looked helpless, since he was a child he had only been the sounding board of his mother, but suddenly, the mother didn't care about things, and a lot of 'work' was on him.

Criticism fold.

Listen to instructions.

And Prince He was watching from the side.

uncomfortable!

I really want to continue playing with my friends, but looking at the silent queen who is not far away, I can only hope that it will end soon.

at this time.

The Empress Dowager also had a complicated expression on her face.

Logically speaking.

The loss of Sanguan has nothing to do with her, but the truth of the death of lips and teeth has also been passed down since ancient times. She deeply understands that the death of the Nanyu Empire is a major event.

If the situation is not reversed, what kind of queen mother is just a woman.

"stop fighting."

"The fall of Sanguan is a foregone conclusion, cursing is useless."

"..."

"The opponent has a night raider army, powerful and unknown in number. If you are reckless, you may not lose the three passes. Next, you must be cautious."

"Retreat!"

"Retreat to the city across the board and build defenses."

"..."

In the end, Prince He made a decision and turned from offense to defense in an all-round way, not to advance rashly.

Now, the only expectation is to recruit troops everywhere, transfer them to the front line to stabilize the situation, and learn the tactics of the opposite side.

Through this incident, Prince He also deeply understood a truth.

---If you stand firm, you will have output.

I was really too optimistic before, and I kept thinking about moving forward.

This was the only way for people to take advantage of it, leading to the current defeat.

Three passes.

Four hundred thousand people.

It hurts to be captured by the other party just like that! If it weren't for the second batch of millions of troops ordered by the Queen Mother to go south, things would be a big deal.

. . .

After the court meeting.

Back in the side hall, Prince He spent a day repeatedly reading all the battle reports on the front line, and finally came to a conclusion: this defeat was inevitable.

intelligence.

forage.

train.

…

All the problems that I didn't pay attention to before were all exposed.

It's shorter here.

A little less there.

at last.

It's just not working as a whole.

On the other hand, there must be no problem with intelligence, otherwise the intelligence system of the Nanyu Empire in the five states would not be directly uprooted.

Let the front line be blind!

penetration.

incite defection.

Assassination.

A series of methods are useless at all.

…

Second, people can have enough food and grass.

The south is suitable for growing grain. 60% of the empire's grain actually comes from the five southern states. It is not long before the autumn harvest, and there will be no shortage of grain by then.

Thinking of this, the head is as big as a cow!

…

Third, training.

yes.

The opponent may not be strong enough, but he can't bear the fact that he has war experience.

…

Fourth, the mysterious night attack army.

Analyze it in detail.

Prince He couldn't help but took a deep breath, feeling a little cold behind his back, with so many advantages, if the opponent made no mistakes in strategy and tactics.

Then, it will be very difficult for the Nanyu Empire to win.

Say something.

Is this really a bureau conspired by Ban Xian?

The more it develops to the present, the more it feels problematic.

How long, how deep, and how wide the layout has to be, so that so many things can be conspired silently under the three major intelligence systems.

Not a word of wind leaked out.

It's a bit too scary to really have such a power to set up a situation!

. . .

soon.

The news spread among the upper echelons of the empire, and everyone was shocked.

"What? Lost two more passes?"

"this......"

"Not good!"

"..."

Everyone's expressions were extremely solemn, and the loss of the three passes was of great significance.

First, it means that the rebels have the strength to go north.

Second, it means that the rebels have plans to go north.

The latter is the point.

Before.

The empire is attacking, and the rebels are defending. It gives everyone the impression that the rebels only want to stick to the five states and occupy half of the country, but now it is completely different.

The strategic intention of going north was revealed.

what is this?

To destroy the country!

Once the analysis came to this, how could the major families remain calm, so they hurriedly consulted their staff for analysis, and asked for more information from various sources, and many of them began to seek a way out.

Transfer family members.

transfer property.

certainly.

It's all sneaky.

The foundation is still in the Nanyu Empire, so it can't be too much.

Live and die with the empire?

forget it!

If there is no Yuan City, there will still be such thoughts, because if you go to other places, you may be wiped out, but with Yuan City, it will be different.

This neutral city gave everyone a final retreat.

Once a person has a retreat, in many cases, he will lose his blood.

. . .

In the next few days, Prince He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't receive any bad news, but he didn't dare to slack off, always paying attention to all the information on the front line.

At this time, it's time to book.

forage.

ordnance.

Soldier.

…

Crazy tune south.

He no longer wants to achieve great results, as long as the defense line is not breached. He also persuaded many relatives of the royal family to donate money and materials, and generously donated one by one.

Non-generous.

Instead, IOUs were issued in the name of the empire.

Once victorious, it will be returned in the future.

To this.

Prince He felt that there was nothing wrong with it, because he was also a funder. Although he was rich, the emperor was not his son after all.

Because of this, the royal relatives readily agreed.

As for other small and medium-sized families, as well as the food collection of the common people, it is naturally free of charge.

. . .

folk.

This matter is being spread secretly.

"The emperor's relatives pay the food, and they have to return it? We give the food for nothing?"

"Excessive!"

"Say a few words, don't let people hear you."

"..."

Everyone was very dissatisfied and disappointed with the empire. If there was a war in the country, they would requisition food, but those who were relatives of the emperor would be able to return it, and the people would be free.

This operation makes people very angry!

To this.

Nan Yu began to suppress this kind of public opinion, and the common people could only swallow their anger.

But they won't know how big the fire will be when it burns.
