Chapter 456(1/2)
The atmosphere in the capital is tense every day.
On the front line of Gyeonggi, wars are in full swing and every day is in a hurry.
Insufficient troops, insufficient food and grass, insufficient medicinal materials...
Everything is missing!
Xiao Yi just needed to raise his troops into the capital, pointing at the emperor's head, and asking for more troops.
On the official roads between the capital, every day there are military orders carrying flags on their backs, and they go to the capital to convey the requests of General Xiao Yi, the Northern Army.
Army, more army...
Don’t be stingy with the Southern Army anymore, drag them out to fight Wuheng.
The troops of the border generals are not worthy of the time being.
Because the journey is long and the army has not moved, the food and grass will go first. So many soldiers and horses have to organize hundreds of thousands of civilians to transport food and grass.
Otherwise, it would be a burden to reach Gyeonggi.
All they could count on were the Southern Army and the veterans of Yuzhou under the command of Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu.
Three urgent issues a day, urging every day...
It can be seen that the situation is really critical.
No matter whether he is useful or not, Xiao Yi's suggestion is that the court and the emperor must know his difficulties.
Without enough troops to allocate him, even if he has great skills, he cannot defeat the more with less.
Now we are fighting a frontal war, not a surprise attack, nor a surprise attack.
What we need is to have strong soldiers and horses, and enough troops to exert the momentum of the Great Wei Dynasty.
If you don’t give him troops, you will rely on the few defeated soldiers and fuck him!
Xiao Yi's memorial to the court was becoming more and more rude and his words were used more and more rude.
Later, he started to scold on the memorial book.
He scolded court officials, civil and military officials, Pingwu Hou Shi Wen, Ling Changzhi, and even vaguely scolded the emperor for not doing human affairs.
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi: “…”
It's so angry!
Xiao Yi still has the duty of being a minister, even his king and father dare to insult him.
It's simply lawless!
The courtiers were also filled with righteous indignation and extremely angry.
Xiao Yi is just brave and has no door-to-door in his mouth.
Don’t blame everyone for hating him, who made him scold everyone.
Some people were even more unlucky and even scolded him three times a day.
For example, Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu…
For example, the Censor Ling Changzhi...
These two people were scolded the most.
But these two people are relatives of Xiao Yi.
One is his uncle and the other is his aunt's cousin.
"Xiao Yi is indeed cruel and doesn't even let his own people go!"
"The scolding was too much! It was indeed a ** hooligan who had never read a book!"
"Is it really so tight ahead?"
"This matter should not be fake. If you calculate the strength of the troops, you will know that Xiao Yi is now willing to die."
"What do Prime Minister Shi and Lord Ling mean? Why are you still dragging your troops out of sending troops?"
"The border generals cannot count on it for the time being. If all the troops in the capital are sent to the front line, if they lose, who will protect the capital afterwards? You must keep some foundation just in case."
"This is reasonable! Xiao Yi would better block Wu Heng outside the capital. If he let Wu Heng in, he would be the sinner of the world and he should kill the nine clans!"
Xiao Yi: MMP!
Before the emperor killed his nine clans, he killed all the corpses in the capital.
...
Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu, and Ling Changzhi, performed a double act in the court discussion.
The two sides sent troops to support Xiao Yi, and they argued endlessly, and they were all short of all military exercises.
Chat each other, expose each other's shortcomings, attack each other...
Finally, under the emperor's "mediation", the two sides reached an agreement and sent another 10,000 troops to support the front line.
At the same time, the Shaofu family was ordered to send additional personnel to transport food and grass.
After sending 10,000 more troops to support Xiao Yidi's decision, Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu, and Ling Changzhi, reached an agreement in private as early as possible.
But the "play" still needs to be performed, and it must be performed realistically, so that both the people and the emperor can be satisfied.
Moreover, ten thousand soldiers are also the limit they strive for.
As the court officials thought, some family background must be kept in case Xiao Yi was defeated and Wu Heng besieged the capital.
Therefore, the total number of soldiers and horses that can be used is only more than 20,000, less than 30,000.
Xiao Yi could only rely on less than 30,000 soldiers to resist the tens of thousands of soldiers of Wuheng.
Moreover, the main force of Wuheng is constantly coming to the capital.
The further you get, Xiao Yi will only be under greater pressure.
I just hope that the border generals can be more powerful, hold back Wuheng's troops and give the capital a chance to breathe.
...
Things in the world are never transferred by the will of a certain person or by the will of a certain group of people.
There are signs of the general trend of the world.
Everything is God's will!
Liu Zhang, a loyal minister of the court, the governor of Liangzhou, and the Grand Marshal of the Army, worsened.
At the same time, a fire broke out in the backyard of Liangzhou, and a grassland tribe saw that Liangzhou was empty and took the opportunity to invade.
On one side is the court, the emperor, the capital...
On one side is the family foundation of Liangzhou...
Liu Zhang, who was seriously ill, was unable to take charge of the director, and the news was hidden tightly.
His eldest son, Liu Baoshun, the elder brother of his son-in-law Liu Baoping, made a decision for Liu Zhang and retreated to Liangzhou.
The prince-in-law Liu Baoping looked solemn, "Does the eldest brother really want to withdraw his troops and return to Liangzhou?"
"Yes! This general has already ordered the entire army to deport the camp to return to Liangzhou early the next morning."
"If my father knew the situation in the capital and knew that Wuheng Bingfeng was aiming at the capital, he would definitely order aid to the capital."
Liu Baoshun's face was firm, "One time and another time! Liangzhou is the foundation of our Liu family, and Liangzhou must not be missed."
"Brother can arrange some troops to return to Liangzhou, and the rest to help the capital."
"Absolutely not possible! Dividing troops is a taboo! The troops in Yuzhou are the best lessons." Liu Baoshun refuted sternly.
The prince-in-law Liu Baoping took a deep breath and said calmly: "Brother, don't forget that my father is a loyal minister of the court, and everyone in the world is watching his father. Now you have ordered the withdrawal of troops back to Liangzhou. Have you ever thought about how the people in the world will view his father?"
Liu Baoshun was unmoved and said with a firm look: "I will bear all the consequences with all my strength and will never let you take any responsibility."
"Am I afraid of taking responsibility? I am afraid that our Liu family will be scolded by the world! The reputation accumulated by the ancestors of the Liu family will be destroyed in the hands of our brothers."
"Famousness is important, or life is important? Let me tell you, Liangzhou soldiers will never participate in the muddy waters in the capital. Otherwise, how could you run out of the capital? You ran out with great difficulty, and now you are going to run back to the trap? If you insist on going back to the capital, I will give you three thousand soldiers and horses, and you can go by yourself."
The prince-in-law Liu Baoping gritted his teeth, "If my father knew that you ordered the withdrawal of troops, he would definitely withdraw your post. You should understand that once the troops in Liangzhou are withdrawn, the consequences will be unimaginable. The world may be overthrown and the great Wei Kingdom will fall into the hands of foreign races.
By then, our Liu clan will be the sinners in the world! A crime that will never be washed away in life. If you bear such a crime, who will come to join us?
If you only want Liangzhou and stay in Liangzhou for the rest of your life, I will pretend that I have never said this. If you still have some ambitions, if you are not satisfied with the status quo, you should not order the withdrawal of troops, and you should not retreat to Liangzhou."
Liu Baoshun was silent for a long time.
Finally, he burst out laughing, "Hahaha..."
Liu Baoping looked confused.
What's ridiculous about this?
After Liu Baoshun finished laughing, he patted his brother Liu Baoping on the shoulder, "You are right. Our Liu family is a loyal minister and a good general of the court. The reputation accumulated by generations cannot be destroyed in the hands of our brothers."
Liu Baoping was surprised, "Don't you withdraw your troops?"
To be continued...
