MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1061 Your Majesty, it's not good!

   Chapter 1061 Your Majesty, it's not good!

   "Your Majesty, something is bad!"

  At the grand meeting of the Weiyang Palace in the capital, a soldier from the Ministry of War knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the southwestern bandits have already attacked Luzhou. The rebel firearms are powerful.

   "If this goes on like this, in ten days at most, the Luzhou House will be broken..."

Luzhou is the last big city to the west of the capital. Once the city of Luzhou is broken, the capital will be fully exposed to the enemy. Before that, in order to prevent the fall of Luzhou, Emperor Yuan Zhao dispatched two Zhechong houses from the Gyeonggi Imperial Army to support Luzhou. , a total of more than 30,000 people, did not expect that they could not stop the troops of the Southwest Army. In just a few days, the city of Luzhou was already crumbling.

   Emperor Yuanzhao sat on the throne, and his face was already very ugly.

   His current mood is very complicated. On the one hand, he is a little afraid of Li Xin, and on the other hand, he does not know what to do next. This despairing sense of powerlessness makes this young emperor feel extremely uncomfortable.

   He has heard too much bad news these days.

   Suizhou is in a hurry, Luzhou is in a hurry, the enemy is coming straight to the capital...

Emperor Yuan Zhao gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Send an order to Pei Jin, and ask him to lead 50,000 Ankang troops to support Luzhou. Outside!"

   "The number of traitors in the southwest is not large. Pass my edict to kill a traitor from the southwest, and reward them with 20 coins!"

   Generally speaking, you can get a certain amount of money for killing an enemy on the battlefield. The price is usually two dollars per head. Now Emperor Yuan Zhao’s words have directly increased the price tenfold.

However, even if it is tenfolded, it is still a very cost-effective business. The Southwest Army has a total of only 150,000 to 60,000 people, and not all of them have left Shu. Only about 100,000 people have left, and one person has killed the Southwest Army. , that is, two million.

   Today, the imperial court in Dajin has not been corrupted to the point of being out of control. It is not difficult to take out two or three million cash from the treasury.

   After receiving the imperial edict, the Ministry of War immediately bowed his head and saluted, and then quickly went to work.

  After the people from the Ministry of War went down, there was another Jingzhao Yin Zhou Cong who came out to give a performance. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, there are rumors in the capital today, and the Jingzhao House can't make a decision for a while, please Your Majesty..."

   Things have come to this situation, and they can't hide it at all.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, the news of the southwestern rebels defeating the imperial army began to spread in the capital, and the news that Xiangyang City was destroyed in three days was also widely circulated in the capital, and in the capital of Dajin, which had been reconciled for decades , after a long absence, there was some panic.

What's more deadly is that there are still many people from Li Xin's Anbu in the capital. Many of the news circulating in the capital were deliberately spread by people from the Anbu, and the public opinion is still further fermenting, and it has reached the Jingzhao House. It's not easy to handle.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "There are people in the capital who spread rumors, all of them will be taken into the Jingzhao Mansion Prison, and they will be interrogated strictly. "

   Zhou Cong lowered his head and said in a respectful voice, "My minister...follow His Majesty's order."

   Emperor Yuanzhao sat on the throne, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then opened his mouth and said, "Send my will, and immediately summon troops from all over the country, enter King Qin in Beijing, and encircle Li Ni in the southwest!"

The forbidden army in Great Jin and Gyeonggi was originally about 320,000 people, but because they have been dispatched to the southwest in recent years, and sent a lot of southwest troops to block the eastward advance, there are still 240,000 to 50,000 people left at this time. .

   And there are still many local armies in various places in Dajin.

   For example, the Xiang army in various places, as well as some specially designed anti-Japanese army, anti-Japanese army, and the frontier army at the border.

The Xiang Army of the Great Jin Dynasty will regularly transfer elites into the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army to defend the capital and become a part of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army. Therefore, the fighting strength of the local Xiangjun is extremely weak. In addition to the large number of people, one is not equipped, and the other is not too much. Training, it's very ugly.

   The hundreds of thousands of people that Pei attacked and attacked Hanzhou were the Xiang army in the southwest.

The frontier troops are easily immobilized, so they can only summon the Xiang army to serve the king. In fact, even the forbidden army can hardly stop the southwest army. It is even more impossible for the Xiang army in these places to do anything. The meaning of the emperor's edict It was already obvious that the local army was mobilized to be "cannon fodder" in the capital.

   Now the court has figured out what the so-called "Tianlei" in the southwest is all about, and also knows that Tianlei is not "Tianwei", but a consumable. Since it is a consumable, it cannot be endless.

   As long as these armies consume the firearms of the Southwest Army, the Southwest Army will no longer be able to threaten the imperial court and the capital.

   After the emperor issued a few edicts in a row, he left a few Zaifu to speak in the Weiyang Palace, and then waved his hands a little tired, and dismissed this great court meeting.

   At this time Gongyangshu was no longer in the center, and the prime minister in charge of the Shangshutai was Zhuangwei, who respectfully entered the emperor's study.

  In the study, the old general with white hair and beard, Chong Xuantong, also stood respectfully with his hands down.

The emperor patted Chong Xuantong on the shoulder, and sighed bitterly: "The old general returned to Beijing from Yunzhou to get old, and he shouldn't have used the old general anyway, but at this moment, there is no longer available in Beijing. The general, I can only ask the old general to take command of the Gyeonggi Imperial Army temporarily."

In fact, there are generals available to the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army at the moment. Hou Jingde, the general of the Zuoying of the Forbidden Army, one of the three heroes of Imchen, served in the Forbidden Army in the early years of Taikang, and has been a general in the Forbidden Army for more than ten years. Enough to serve as this general.

   But Hou Jingde had some friendship with Li Xin, so Emperor Yuan Zhao did not dare to use him, and invited Chong Xuantong, who retired from home, to come out again.

  The old general Chong coughed, lowered his head and said, "The old minister has received the kindness of the country, and he should be loyal to His Majesty and die."

Having said this, he paused and said, "Your Majesty, as far as my ministers know, there are still more than 200,000 troops in the Jinjing and Gyeonggi Imperial Guards, plus the Ankang Army and the remnants of the Hanzhong Army brought back by General Pei, we can fight against it. There are more than 300,000 people, and the southwest rebels are no more than 100,000 at best. The minister thought that there was no need to shrink their hands. If they all came out, they could encircle the southwest rebels. No matter how powerful their firearms are, they may not be in chaos. it works."

   Honestly, this method of planting Xuantong is very effective.

  The Southwest Army has only 100,000 people. Once it is surrounded, it will be easy to worry about it and it will not be easy to use it.

   But this method is not so easy.

   First of all, 100,000 people will not pour out all at once, and the Southwest Army will definitely find a city as a garrison before launching an attack.

   Furthermore, Li Xin, who had already thought of this in advance, followed behind Mu Ying and was frantically recruiting captives and recruiting new soldiers. When the Southwest Army went out to Shu, there were 100,000 people, but now it is not necessarily the same number.

The emperor frowned, then shook his head and said: "This is too risky, no one knows whether those rebels will come up with new things, according to my intention, the old general still defends the city, and breaks the ground. strange."

  The 300,000-strong imperial army came out in full force, and it was a gamble on the country's luck. Once lost, the Jin Dynasty would be destroyed in an instant.

  The Son of Heaven would not dare to gamble like this.

  The Southwest Army is alone, and its background is far less than that of the Dajin court. As long as they hold the capital, they can slowly be consumed to death.

  Chong Xuantong raised his head and looked at the emperor, but he didn't say much, but he sighed inwardly.

   After several generations of emperors, Dajin no longer has the spirit of Emperor Wu to fight in the north and south, nor the blood of Chen Guogong to fight alone...
