As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was filled with people, and some people immediately refuted it.
"The King of Zhenbei has been fighting in the north and south for more than 30 years. How could he send troops without any reason, let alone do such a stupid thing!"
"Cao Zhengli, don't talk nonsense!" Anbei General Wei Ziyang stood up and scolded angrily.
"Hmph, the tip is here, do you want to read it clearly?"
Cao Zhengli took out an information report from the sleeve of his official uniform and handed it over.
Wei Ziyang hurriedly grabbed it, opened the information report, and quickly browsed it.
However, the more he looked, the paler his face became.
He is clearly a general who is good at fighting and in good health, but at this moment his lips are white and his face is like gold paper.
It was as if this bad news had taken away most of his life force in an instant.
There are two people that General Daqian admires the most. One is Huo Kuanglan, the queen who created the miracle of sealing the cliff.
The other one is the King of Zhenbei who saved Daqian from the fire and water thirty years ago and gave the country that was about to lose a breath of life!
Yes, although everyone is saying that it was Emperor Renxuan who extended Daqian's life.
But in fact, this is the result of two people working together.
At the beginning, Emperor Renxuan held it high in the temple and purified the world. The king of Zhenbei fought on the battlefield and created a bright future.
The cooperation between these two people is unrivaled.
Although thirty years have passed, time is like a knife, cutting down the genius.
Emperor Renxuan lived up to his youth and became old and dim.
The King of Zhenbei could not maintain his former majesty as a tiger that swallowed thousands of miles, but he was still the top commander and warrior of Da Qian.
But now, this tip tells them that Daqian's most skilled fighter went to attack the city in such a confused manner, and was about to bury the army at the foot of Yayu Mountain?
How can this be?
How can they accept this?
But whether you accept it or not, the fact is the fact.
The information written in black and white is definitely not false.
Unless the order was sent randomly, but that was a major crime against the Nine Clans, the possibility was almost zero.
"I don't believe it, show me, Old Wei!" Another general frowned, stepped forward, and snatched the wire report from Wei Ziyang's hand.
After reading it, his eyes were blank, and his eight-foot body staggered and almost fell.
Because he had been thinking about it in his mind just now, and he really couldn't think of how King Zhenbei could break out of the siege in his current situation.
It seems that they can only wait for the Tianshui County army to break through Yumen Pass, and then join up with the Yayu and Linyi armies to eat them up.
In other words, for now, we can only wait for death!
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, everyone didn't understand. What Cao Zhengli said is 80% true!
This...what should I do?
For a moment, a panic swept through the entire Qiande Hall. Everyone frowned and were in panic. It seemed that Beiyan's army was about to attack Qiandu City in the next moment.
In fact, we can't blame them. Daqian has two great passes, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and can withstand ten times the enemy.
They are Yumen Pass in the north and Tianzi Pass in the west.
They were built to resist Beiyan and Xiliang respectively.
At that time, Daqian was still at its peak, but it also exhausted manpower and material resources. Only then did two majestic passes rise from the ground.
However, it is precisely because the two great passes were built too perfectly. As a result, it was difficult for the Xiliang navy and the Beiyan cavalry to invade. In addition, due to insufficient national strength and limited funds, the other passes were built in a somewhat...sloppy manner.
Moreover, in the north of Daqian, from the south of the Yayu Mountains, there is a large plain area!
If the Yumen Pass is broken, the Beiyan cavalry can march straight in!
By then, it is not impossible to reach Qiandu City within one month!
This is equivalent to wearing your wealth and life in your belt. Can you not panic?
"Your Majesty, a humble minister impeached the King of Zhenbei. He disobeyed the imperial order and sent troops privately. He also plunged our officers and soldiers into a place of eternal disaster. It is really a heinous crime!"
"Your Majesty, I am also impeaching the King of Zhenbei! If the Yumenguan army is destroyed because of his fault, I am afraid that the great cause of the Northern Expedition will fall short!"
"These are all trivial matters. If the Yumen Pass is broken and the Beiyan cavalry takes over, this will be a first-class major event!"
Last time, Yumen Pass was broken, and Beiyan's iron cavalry approached the city. There was also Huo Kuanglan who came out of the sky to save Daqian from the fire and water.
But today, Huo Kuanglan has been dead for nearly twenty years!
Where can Da Gan get a second champion?
"If the Beiyan cavalry comes to the city, I am afraid that the three hundred years of foundation I have built will be destroyed, Your Majesty!"
When all the ministers in the audience heard such bad news, they all shouted and ignored the etiquette of the court.
Emperor Renxuan, however, was always sitting high on the Diaoyutai, watching this scene expressionlessly.
It seemed that the tragic news that hundreds of thousands of troops at Yumen Pass were about to be burned to the ground had nothing to do with him.
Finally, all the ministers howled with sorrow and were also in panic all day long. After so long, finally someone who can speak stood up.
I saw Cao Zhengli standing up calmly and said in an orderly manner: "Your Majesty, please immediately send troops to support Yumen Pass, and at the same time issue an imperial order asking the King of Zhenbei to hold back the troops of Yayu and Linyi counties no matter what. No matter life or death!"
"In this way, as long as the supporting troops arrive in time, Yumen Pass can still be saved."
"Oh? If Prince Zhenbei's brother cannot support Yayu, where are the soldiers and horses of the two counties of Linyi?"
Hearing this, Cao Zhengli calmed down and said in a more serious tone: "The King of Zhenbei made such a big mistake, and he was the one to blame. If he could hold back the soldiers and horses of the two counties, it would be better to give up the merit. If he couldn't, it would be the same. You made a huge mistake!"
"I am committed to governing the country according to the law, so please, Your Majesty, punish me severely!"
Hearing this, Emperor Renxuan, who was still expressionless, actually raised the corners of his mouth and sneered.
"Then in Cao Aiqing's opinion, how severe should be the punishment?"
"According to the laws of Daqian, if the general is incompetent and causes the death of the entire army, he should be beheaded in public display!"
"But after all, King Zhenbei has made great contributions to Da Qian's campaigns in the north and south for many years."
"In the opinion of my ministers, I can depose him from the throne and demote him to a common people."
As soon as these words came out, the entire Qiande Hall was in an uproar.
That's the King of Zhenbei!
Fight God of War!
Not to mention them on weekdays, even if they were the current Holy Emperor, they would just treat them as equals and treat them with a pleasant look.
How dare Cao Dianke!
How dare he say such a thing?
The civil servants were just surprised.
The generals were filled with righteous indignation and wished they could take action directly to capture Cao Zhengli.
Even if King Zhenbei really neglects his duty, so what?
On the battlefield, the situation is turbulent. Even the military ancestors said that victory and defeat are common things for military strategists!
How could the King of Zhenbei's contributions for so many years be ignored just because of a single defeat?
At this moment, another loud voice came from outside the hall.
"Urgent report! Urgent report from Northern Xinjiang!"
As the voice came from far away, a messenger with a tired face stepped into the hall and said with joy: "Your Majesty, the King of Zhenbei has shown great power and has captured Yayu, Tianshui and Linyi. county!"
