Chapter 669

On the 29th of the lunar new year, all the troops arrived. Except for the orphans who had no father or mother who were willing to accept the arrangement, the rest of the people evacuated. Nearly a million troops were stationed in the rear of yelan city. Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan were all gathered in the Yamen Hall in the early morning. Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan came late, followed by Xiao Baozi, xiaohuzi and Xiaohei!

I don't know if I feel that the border is not peaceful. No matter where the steamed stuffed buns go, they will follow. Even the laziest round rolling in the ordinary days has not neglected their duties.

"Lord, Princess!"

Seeing their arrival, dozens of people, led by Zeng Shaorong, Wei general and Qin general, stood up and clasped their fists. Some of them guarded the border area all the year round. The senior general who had never seen Ling Jingxuan looked at them with a clear look. Prince Sheng was the real God in their hearts. In their view, no one was worthy of the prince, even though several generals repeatedly stressed that the princess It's not a good match. They are still skeptical.

"You're welcome. Sit down."

Yan shengruifu both went to the throne and sat down. Xiaobaozi and xiaohuzi stood at their bottom. Xiaohei was obediently lying at the foot of xiaobaozi. Many people were staring at it. It was inevitable that their bodies were stiff. It was human nature to be afraid of wild animals. Even these rough men would be afraid of them subconsciously. What's more, Xiaohei has better varieties than ordinary ones The wolf is at least twice as tall, and looks even more frightening.

"Lord, why don't you send soldiers into the city? If the northern barbarians attack again, how can thousands of soldiers respond to the attack? "

They were all military generals, and they were not as polite as civil servants. When they learned that there was no army in the capital, and even the ten thousand cavalry who had been brought into the city by Yan Yi had withdrawn, and they ordered them to prepare for the Spring Festival, they began to be dissatisfied. Under normal circumstances, should we take back buming city first? Is it time to prepare for the Chinese new year when the enemy is still pinching their fortress? It is said that the order was given by the princess. Zeng Shaorong and others, who are familiar with the princess's means, are still calm. The rest of the people are not very receptive.

"Why didn't you see you so eager before me? Is it not that General Chen felt that the king could not keep the city of yelan? "

Tiger eyes a horizontal, Yan Shengrui condensate voice question, he only five years did not come to the border, they forget who is the person who gives orders? When will it be their turn to question the orders from him?

"The general did not dare. He just felt that the princes and concubines were dignified and could not be harmed at all. It was always good to have more people guarding the city. The hundred thousand troops of the northern barbarians were stationed in buming City, and they would not be unprepared in case of an attack."

General Chen, who is very strong at first sight, stands up and clasps his fist. He does not dare to question the Lord, but Lin Jingxuan, who sits next to him, has a slight glance. It is said that the order was given by the princess. Before seeing his ability with his own eyes, he can't trust him.

"General Chen was originally a general stationed in Liaocheng, the left wing?"

Then the obvious inspection doubt, the idiot will not feel, grab before Yan Shengrui, Ling Jingxuan hook lips smile way "yes, I don't know what advice the princess has?"

In the face of Ling Jingxuan, General Chen is not as polite as Yan Shengrui, and his attitude is arrogant. Yan Shengrui frowns reflexively. Xiaobaozi and xiaohuzi stare at him. It is possible that Ling Jingxuan, the party concerned, seems to be relieved. The radian of his smile is slightly enlarged: "as far as I know, it is caused The unnecessary dispute is different from that of yelan City, where there are only 120000 soldiers and horses in each of the four cities on the left and right wings. On that day, buming city fell, general Ye was seriously injured, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in battle. Ye Xiaowei, one of the women, had to take a small number of soldiers and people back to yelan city. The next day, Beiman massacred the city to provoke and attack yelan For nearly a month, ye Xiaowei took tens of thousands of soldiers to defend the city. When my concubine and the prince arrived, there were only a few thousand left. Could you tell me General Chen and the garrison generals on both sides of yelan city. Have you ever sent troops to support the city? Have you ever sent someone to care about one or two? "

He did not question them, but they questioned him first. Hum, do you really think he is a soft persimmon?

"The last generals have military orders in their bodies. They can't leave their posts without permission if they don't see the tiger Amulet of dispatching troops."

General Chen didn't think so. What if they just sent troops to support and the city they were stationed in was attacked again? Who can be responsible for losing the city? They are border generals. They only recognize the king himself and the tiger Amulet of dispatching troops. Without the tiger amulet, they disobey military orders. They can't afford the consequences.

"Is it? Then if the city of yelan is not guarded, Beiman has been fighting all the way to the capital, and the Lord has not arrived, have you been watching

The smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly closed. The narrow and deep Danfeng eyes firmly locked on General Chen, and he was sweating. When he asked him, General Chen was speechless and wanted to refute, but could not find the right words. Ling Jingxuan did not give him a chance to refute. He stood up and swept all the soldiers in the field coldly before he said in a voice: "the so-called frontier officers and men are for guarding the border Pass, maintain the peace of the border, don't cry for the loss of the city, the northern barbarians are provoked by the massacre, can you still sit still? I really don't know whether to praise you for your devotion to your duties, or to scold you for not knowing how to adapt. As the old saying goes, when you are outside, you have to take extraordinary measures. You have a lot of troops. Even if there are ten thousand soldiers and horses in the four cities on the left and right wings, there are also 40000 soldiers and horses. These 40000 troops and horses are of no concern to you, and they do not affect your defense of the city As far as Lancheng is concerned, it is a timely help. What is the result? You didn't do anything. You just looked at Beiman attacking yelan city and watched yelan City crumble. That's the peace you brought to the border? "After the battle, he didn't know how to win the battle with his father Got the top general? Are all these generals eating shit?

All the officers and men were silent. In fact, they had been struggling for a long time about whether to send troops to support them. However, what they received was a death order. They could not send troops without tiger amulet. But now, when the princess said that, they felt that they did not know what to do. However, after all, they did not think they were wrong. They just followed the Lord's orders They are loyal to their camp. What's wrong?

"What the princess said is reasonable, but everything is just in case. If we rush to send troops to help us, how can the emperor and the prince forgive us? Even if the emperor does not investigate us for leaving our posts without permission and dispatching troops without permission, what should we do if there is something wrong with the city we are guarding? Ten thousand soldiers and horses are also soldiers and horses. Sometimes the lack of them may be the ten thousand soldiers and horses. The northern barbarians are so fierce that they have already lost the city of buming. How can we be careless? "

"At the end of the meeting, I will second the motion."

With this in mind, another deputy general stood up. With him taking the lead, a series of nearly 20 generals stood up. For Zeng Shaorong, who was sitting in front of him, general Qin and general Wei took a careful look at Yan Shengrui's husband. All of them could not help but blacken their faces. These fools said that they were brave and resourceless. They did not admit that the princess was obviously trying to make an example to others Is it a fight to die?

"There are 50000 people in each of the four cities. If so many people can't keep a city when they are on guard, I suggest that you should disband on the spot. The army should fight first! Buming city is located in the outermost part of the whole Daqing kingdom. The enemy's surprise attack is lost. My concubine and the prince don't feel strange because none of us expected the northern barbarians to invade at the risk of freezing for thousands of miles. However, you can see that yelan City, the most important traffic fortress, has been attacked one after another. For more than 20 days, you know that general Ye is seriously injured and can't personally supervise the war, and none of us has sent troops Do you still have support and feelings? "

Ling Jingxuan became more and more impolite. The strong breath that had been suppressed before diffused out. Danfeng's eyes, like sharp blades, locked them in cold, and refused to give them a chance to sophisticate. Then he continued to rebuke: "if it was the king who met this dilemma this time, would you make the same decision? I don't like to listen to other people's arguments. I only look at the results. What we see is that yelan city is on the verge of falling and nearly toppling. You know, what will happen to Quanzhou and Lingcheng in the rear when yelan city is broken? Quanzhou city is directly connected with the mausoleum, which is an important supply route for our army's military supplies and food and grass. Once it is under the control of the enemy, hundreds of thousands of people will be able to defend the city even if they are hungry. Under such circumstances, do you still feel justified? "

In fact, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at first. He didn't study the map until yesterday. He found out why Beiman didn't attack Weicheng of Liaocheng, which is connected with buming City horizontally, but went straight to yelan city. Although Quanzhou City and Lingcheng city were also stationed with large troops, he would bet on the head of his neck that once yelan city fell into the hands of Beiman, their army would be destroyed The number of troops in Quanzhou City and Lingcheng city will certainly increase several times. If the Eastern States send troops again, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses accumulated in the border area of the Qing state will collapse in an instant In this way, the northern barbarian East will continue to march into the capital, and soon it will all the way to the capital! That's one of the reasons why he had an attack on the spot.

They are all generals. They don't even understand such a simple truth. What qualification is there to question him here?

As soon as he said that, many people noticed their negligence. No, to be correct, they didn't notice it, but remembered that they could climb to the position of general. They were not hopelessly stupid. They just forgot the danger and alertness after five years of comfortable life. In their opinion, Yan Shengrui crushed Beiman with an absolutely strong attitude five years ago As long as Prince Sheng comes, everything will be easy to solve. They don't have to risk violating the military law to mobilize the army without permission. Since there is a way to make the best of both worlds, why should they work hard to mobilize the masses?
