Chapter 2060： No matter how tragic

Zhao Yuanjing also tried his best to raise a large amount of grain and grass for them to bring.

But Jiuli is really difficult to deal with. The previous defeats have made the subjects of Da Zhou lose some confidence. This made them feel that after losing King Qin, the **** of war, Da Zhou could no longer win the battle.

If this kind of decadent mood spreads and eventually spreads to the army, it is a terrible thing.

In war, the most important thing is military spirit.

If the army is confused, there is no need to fight this battle.

By the time the reinforcements arrived in Saibei, it was already early autumn.

The birthdays of the empresses and princesses and princes were mostly concentrated in July and August. Because of the war, they didn't think about it.

All are anxiously looking forward to a good news from the front.

But for others, the second prince's birthday ceremony should be done briefly.

The day after the second prince's birthday ceremony was finished, the battle report finally came from the front.

But it is not a good news.

The reinforcements were ambushed by the Jiuli army when they entered the northern part of Saibei.

Lost more than half.

The chief general Luo Jizu's head was in a different place, and the staff member, General Zhou, was seriously injured and dying. Jianjun Yiwang disappeared without a trace, no one was born, no corpse was seen when he died.

This result is too tragic.

The news spread, and the whole country was shocked.

For a time, the atmosphere of depression, grief and depression filled the entire Great Zhou Kingdom.

The common people were unwilling to work and panic all day long, frantically looting rice, noodles, grains, oil and other goods, causing the price of rice oil to soar.

In some places, trampling accidents caused by grabbing rice have even occurred.

Serious casualties.

Officials in various prefectures and counties cried out about the chaos in various places and asked the court to think about it.

On Zhao Yuanjing's desk, the piles piled up every day are higher than people.

In the five years since he became the throne, he has been conscientious and hardworking, and the great situation he has brought is almost destroyed.

Tangyuanyuan knelt on the ground, sweaty palms.

Zhao Yuanjing was standing at the table with a high folder at hand.

He looked at the glutinous rice **** and said in a deep voice, "Why didn't your intelligence network detect this ambush in time, so that Luo Jizu was almost wiped out?"

"Weichen is guilty, please beg the emperor to condemn!"

Tangyuanyuan also feels like crying.

His intelligence network has worked very hard.

But he really didn't detect the movement of the Jiuli team at all, and he didn't even know where they were in ambush.

Zhao Yuanjing said solemnly: "I have seen the map. The terrain of that place is complicated, and there is not only one road. Luo Jizu, who has a habit of marching, I know that I will never disclose it in advance. Then, how did the Jiuli learn their route? , And then ambush in advance?"

Tangyuan Yuanyuan was sweaty: "Damn the minister, the minister really... I don't know the reason."

"Check." Zhao Yuanjing's eyes filled with anger, "I must know the reason!"

Successive defeats are not only the loss of soldiers, but also the wastage of military expenditures, money and food and grass, and the impact on the subjects is too great.

Don't kill Jiuli by the time, because your own country will be in chaos first.

Zhao Yuanjing was busy until late at night before returning to Chengqian Hall, looking tired.

After returning, there are still a lot of papers sent by officials from various places to read.

He sat down at the table and rubbed his brows.

After Yun Dai coaxed the second prince to sleep, she asked Bao Xing to carry the lantern, and she came over with tea by herself.

She walked in and saw Zhao Yuanjing sitting alone under the lamp, eyes closed and frowning.

Under the dim candlelight, his figure looked a little lonely.
