Yao Guang's mind went blank, and even his ability to think was temporarily lost, and his mind was in chaos. After a while, Yao Guang recovered from the shock, and the helplessness and anger in his eyes quickly turned into anger.
Looking at the singer in the hall, Yao Guang no longer thinks about trying to temper his second brother, nor is he in a good mood anymore. In fact, the more he watched these singers smile and dance, the more he felt like they were laughing at him.
"Get out, get out, everyone get out!"
Yao Guang roared.
All the singers and musicians dispersed and ran out in a swarm, for fear that they would be implicated.
In the blink of an eye, the hall was empty.
Yao Guang breathed rapidly, and after a while he regained his composure. He looked at the sentry who reported the news and asked, "Where is the letter about the battle situation on the front line?"
The sentinel handed over the letter written by Yao Qian.
The letter records in detail that Yao Qian and Shi Jian arrived at Yunwu County, Jincheng County with their people. The army was stationed on the north bank of Huangshui River, and Zhao Shan's army was stationed on the south bank, and began to attack the county seat of Yunwu County.
In his letter, Yao Qian said that Shi Jian was determined to rush to the aid of Yunwu County to ensure that Yunwu County would not be lost, and that he and Yunwu County were horns of each other, so Shi Jian personally led an army of 20,000 across the river to fight.
Unexpectedly, after a battle between Shi Jian and Zhao Shan, he was blown up by Zhao Shan. Shi Jian retreated to the north bank, and Zhao Shan's army also came over, causing the army to collapse. Yao Qian had no choice but to evacuate.
In the end, he was overtaken by Da Gan, resulting in countless losses.
Yao Qian's news is full of truth and falsehood.
The lie was that he was the one taking the lead in the battle, while Shi Jian was opposed to participating in the battle, but Yao Qian reversed the explanation. The real news is that all wars are real.
After reading the letter, Yao Guang continued: "Shi Jian, this waste and idiot, doesn't he know what kind of person Zhao Shan is? People like Zhao Shan are invincible, but Shi Jian actually overestimates his ability and wants to fight with Zhao Shan Wrestle with your arms and seek death."
"Shi Jian, you are my sinner in Great Liang."
"Because of you, the Great Liang is over!"
"You Shi Jian deserve to die!"
Yao Guang was so angry that he stood up and kept yelling and scolding. After a lot of scolding, the anger in my heart was vented a little, and my restless mood became a little more stable.
Yao Guang stared at the sentinel and ordered: "Continue to inquire about Zhao Shan's whereabouts, inquire about Prince Yao Qian's whereabouts, and come back at any time to report."
"As you command!"
The sentry responded and turned around to leave.
Yao Guang ordered again: "When someone comes, please inform Prime Minister Jiang Gui, Minister of Civil Affairs Kang Yongyuan, and Minister of Military Affairs Fan Tong to discuss matters."
The eunuch immediately arranged to inform him.
Not long after, Jiang Gui, Kang Yongyuan and Fan Tong all came to the hall and saluted Yao Guang one after another.
Old God Jiang Gui stood below calmly and calmly.
Kang Yongyuan was looking forward to it.
Kang Yongyuan has been paying attention to the battle situation on the front line. Knowing that Shi Jian died in the battle and Yao Qian was defeated, the plan has been further completed.
Fan Tong stood quietly.
Several people, each with their own thoughts.
Yao Guang looked anxious, waved his hand and said: "News came back from the front line that Shi Jian took the initiative to participate in the war in Yunwu County, Jincheng County, was defeated by Zhao Shan, and died on the battlefield."
Immediately, Yao Guang explained all the situations.
After telling the whole story of the battle, Yao Guang continued: "Zhao Shan is always determined to retaliate and cannot bear the slightest grievance. This time, our army fought with him and he won, and he will not give up."
"Yao Qian has withdrawn all the way. He is not far from the imperial capital and is still retreating. Zhao Shan's army is also on its way. I'm afraid it won't be long before Zhao Shan reaches Guzang."
Yao Guang said in a deep voice: "We have suffered heavy losses. We are unable to mobilize our forces to resist and fight Zhao Shan. What do you think we should do?"
Jiang Gui said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Shi Jian is dead, and the prince can only withdraw with a small number of troops. In my opinion, we should first send an order to the prince to withdraw, and then negotiate with Zhao Shan. If that doesn't work, we can only pay compensation again."
"indemnity?"
Yao Guang snorted and said coldly: "Zhao Shan has come with an army to kill us. Will the compensation be useful? If the compensation is useful, Zhao Shan will not embezzle our money and take the opportunity to attack again."
"Zhao Shan took the initiative to provoke this time because he was not satisfied with the previous compensation."
"Zhao Shan is too cruel."
"What this person has planned is definitely very big."
Yao Guang said in a deep voice: "Under the current situation, a little money will definitely not be able to appease Zhao Shan."
Jiang Gui sighed: "We have no other way, because we can't stop Zhao Shan, we don't have enough soldiers to fight, and no one can stop Zhao Shan's front."
Yao Guang looked at Kang Yongyuan and said, "Kang Yongyuan, what do you think we should do?"
Kang Yongyuan said: "Your Majesty, can you kindly ask the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Wei Dynasty for help? If this is not possible, you can also ask other countries for mediation."
"nonsense!"
Yao Guang said coldly: "The Kingdom of Jin was defeated by Zhao Shan, and the Northern Wei Dynasty all surrendered to Zhao Shan. Under this premise, you still want them to help. How did your brain grow? Is it full of tofu?"
Kang Yongyuan said quickly: "I am guilty."
He sneered inwardly.
Yao Guang's good days are coming to an end.
When Yao Qian returned to Guzang County, it was time to launch a mutiny.
Yao Guang looked at Fan Tong and said, "Fan Tong, you are the Minister of War. Leading troops to fight is your specialty. What can you do?"
Fan Tong said quickly: "Your Majesty, since Jiang Yuhuang's defeat in the battle of Chang'an, our army has been in despair. Under the current situation, it is impossible to resist Zhao Shan."
Yao Guang was so angry that he slapped the table in front of him with his palms and said loudly: "A group of wine bags and rice bags, a group of rice buckets, I support you, is this how you repay me? Everyone is helpless, what's the use?"
Jiang Gui, Kang Yongyuan and Fan Tong did not speak.
The front line failed. Everyone knew that they were completely defeated and could not stop Zhao Shan's troops.
Yao Guang was furious as he looked at each of them who were silent. After a long while, Yao Guang sighed dejectedly: "That's all, it's nothing more than asking for peace and surrendering, and once again paying compensation."
Yao Guang looked at Jiang Gui and ordered: "Jiang Gui, you can also be regarded as Zhao Shan's father-in-law. You go to the front line, meet the prince, and then negotiate with Zhao Shan. We, Xiliang, are willing to surrender and compensate. You have full authority over the specific terms. Call the shots.”
