"Ah! My legs!"

Jin Jiande's face was distorted and his body was hunched like a shrimp.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Jin Jianzhong shouted in panic and put his hand on Jin Jiande's back.

"Don't! Don't move!"

"Do not touch me!"

"hiss--"

Jin Jiande breathed in and cried out pain.

Although the punch just now did not hit the broken leg firmly, it hit the quilt, and the resulting shock still made the wound on his leg feel painful.

Jin Jianzhong looked apologetic and said hurriedly: "Second brother, I was reckless."

"Uh, it's okay, just be more careful next time." Jin Jiande slowly straightened up and waved his hand.

After saying this, he sighed heavily:

"I was a good man with sound limbs at the beginning, but now I have been injured by this traitor and become a cripple with a broken leg."

"This traitor has really hurt me!"

Seeing Jin Jiande's expression of loss and grief, Jin Jianzhong's face that was already flushed from alcohol became even redder. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Second brother, don't worry!"

"The traitor has caused you such harm, and he will definitely repay you a hundred times in the future!"

"Just now at the table, my eldest brother said that now that the rebels are continuing southward with the rebels, those small cities may not be able to be defended. If we send troops there, they won't be able to be integrated immediately. They will eventually become a piece of scattered sand."

"Therefore, eldest brother said that we will let the rebels be arrogant for a few days, and then we will ambush them in Bailiyuan!"

"At that time, there will be heavy troops to destroy the rebels!"

Hearing this, Jin Jiande raised his eyebrows and asked, "Bailiyuan?"

"Why fight on a vast plain? Isn't it better to fight in a city?"

"The rebels are coming to attack. We will fight within the city. We can advance, attack, retreat or defend. If something unexpected happens, we still have time to abandon the city and retreat."

As soon as he said this, Jin Jianzhong frowned.

Before entering the second brother's room, the eldest brother stopped him and said that since the battle at Yanluoshan, the second brother had been scared and now he was afraid of rebels and rebels.

When he heard this, he didn't take it seriously. After all, in his impression, the second brother had always been fearless. How could he be frightened after the first battle?

But now that the second brother's words came out, the eldest brother really got it right.

He frowned, shook his head and said:

"Second brother, what are you talking about? The next battle has not yet begun, but you are already considering abandoning the city and retreating. Why are you so unsure?"

"Do you think the heavy armored cavalry in my brother's hands are all incompetent?"

Jin Jiande pinched his eyebrows and said in a deep voice:

"I know that the heavy armored cavalry are all trained in Bailiyuan. It is indeed good to use these troops to fight the rebels in Bailiyuan, but I am not unfounded."

"You have to think of a way out, right?"

"On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly. It is better to have a backup plan than to fight with all your might."

As soon as he said this, Jin Jianzhong burst out laughing:

"Second brother, you are confused."

"The heavy armored cavalry stationed on Bailiyuan were previously reorganized from the Panlong Army. After my eldest brother took over, they were replaced with heavy armor, and they were also joined by the heavy armored cavalry that my eldest brother personally brought. Now it can be said that It is an extremely powerful army!”

"Such an army can be said to be invincible on a vast battlefield, possessing invincible power!"

"As long as the Bailiyuan battlefield opens and this army charges away, it will be a sweeping and crushing force!"

"Such a great army, second brother, if you say we can fight it in the city, that's not a joke! Such an army should fight head-on in a vast land!"

Jin Jiande touched his chin and nodded slightly.

It is true that, as Jianzhong said, heavy armored cavalry can play their role better on a vast battlefield.

But after the battle at Yanluoshan, I had not yet seen the whole rebel army. Who knew if the rebels had heavy armored cavalry.

Although logically speaking, he may not have it, but now it is entirely possible that he brought out a heavy armored cavalry. It is not surprising that the rebels have any troops now.

Therefore, you must prepare for the worst!

Thinking of this, Jin Jiande said in a deep voice:

"Since we decided to stop the rebels in Bailiyuan, why not use the Shenji Battalion?"

"The Shenji Camp has been preparing for a long time. How long will it take to wait until now?"

Jin Jianzhong shook his head and said: "Not to mention that the Shenji Battalion is in the capital, how long will it take to send them there to pull the equipment."

"If we really want to fight, how much silver will it cost to finish the battle?"

"Whether it's infantry, light cavalry, or heavy armored cavalry, they are far less expensive than the Shenji Battalion. If you fight them, you will be burning money!"

After the words fell, Jin Jiande's face was full of surprise.

"The rebels are coming with ferocious force. They are sweeping all the way. Countless cities have fallen before and after. It's already this time. Do you still care about the silver?"

"The most important thing at the moment is to use the whole country to annihilate the rebels!"

Jin Jianzhong waved his hand:

"No, no."

"The rebels must be suppressed, but they cannot be fought like this."

“The war is over and the money is gone, so why fight?”

"The Shenji Battalion didn't say no, but my elder brother said that the heavy armored cavalry were enough to suppress the rebels in Bailiyuan."

"In that case, why use the Shenji Camp? Is it a waste of money?"

"His Majesty's food and clothing expenses, our family's food and clothing expenses, and the courtiers' salaries, which one does not require silver?"

"Is it possible that we still need to scrimp on food and clothing and save money to use as military expenses? Hahaha, that's impossible!"

Hearing this, Jin Jiande's face turned red with anger, and he said angrily:

"That's nonsense!"

"Now that the enemy is facing us, we don't want to use our strongest combat power to suppress it. Instead, we adopt a conservative fighting method because of money."

"If we lose, will it be more expensive to fight later? Do we really want the rebels to come to Jinling before we fight him to the death?"

"At that time, His Majesty's throne will not be preserved!!"

"The world is about to change hands, why bother talking about money!"

Hearing this, Jin Jianzhong stood up suddenly, with a trace of anger on his face.

"Second brother, you are really confused!"

"If you say you can beat me, you can definitely beat me! My eldest brother thinks so, and dad thinks so too. You are the only one who is here to dissent!"

"If the heavy armored cavalry suppress the rebels without using the Shenji Battalion, then this matter will be over, and the imperial court will not be seriously injured."

"If we add the Shenji Battalion to fight, even if we win in the end, the money spent will make our lives tight for a long time."

"By then, who knows if it will cause other riots!"

Jin Jiande's eyes widened and he shouted loudly: "That will happen in the future, what are you worried about now! We should suppress the rebels first!"

"Your Majesty, she is anxious about this..."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Jianzhong snorted coldly:

"Second brother, listen!"

"Eldest Brother has already entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. Your Majesty agrees very much with his suggestions. Your Majesty is still waiting to move into the new palace!"

"You understand! Now, you are the only one who thinks that the rebels are invincible, as if the King of Heaven cannot defeat him even if he comes!"

"The traitor led the rebels, and he didn't know what promises he made and how much money he could get. Yet he was so brave and willing to work for him without fear of death. It's really unfathomable."

"I don't want to say something too unpleasant, but second brother, you have to know that you can't do anything now, just leave everything to us!"
