My lord, she is beautiful and good at fighting

Chapter 44 Battle on Xihe (Tomorrow!)

In the court hall, before everyone could react to the case of Shi Tianbei, they were stunned by the loss of Xihe.

Not to mention the courtiers, even King Wei didn't react.

The military report that came back was not that Yanmen fell and Wei Jingji retreated to Bingzhou, but that Xihe was lost.

King Wei's facial features were hidden behind the crown, and the fingers holding the table gradually turned white. Then he stood up while supporting the table: "Xihe has been captured, where is King Huaiwu!"

"I reported to my king that Beirong and Beishu conspired to attack, but King Huaiwu refused to retreat. He had the upper hand, but the barbarians didn't know where they learned that the upper reaches of the Xihe River was the sea area leading to the Beirong tribe. The barbarians The strongest soldiers were left at Yanmen Pass to attack the city, and the other part of the soldiers with excellent water quality raided the Xihe River from the Fushui River in the upper reaches of Beirong."

The soldiers who came to report were the defenders of Xihe, but Xihe's troops were weak and had no ability to resist the barbarians. The governor of Xihe was extremely far-sighted and evacuated the old, weak, women and children as quickly as possible, and called two charity men. The one who was riding was heading towards Yanmen Pass, and the other was galloping on a fast horse to report to the guard, leaving himself and a city of strong men and soldiers alone to resist the foreigners.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and the tears on his face: "I beg the king to send troops to the rescue of Hexi and Yanmen. When I rode my horses and rushed to the Weidu, Xihe could no longer hold back. I'm afraid that Yanmenguan is under the enemy now." ,Kings."

"Yanmen is lost, and the Central Plains is in danger. Please send troops as soon as possible."

King Wei suddenly fell down on the chair, clutching his heart and coughing violently, the words 'Xihe lost' echoed in his mind.

It was him because of the border defense plan he spread, and Xihe was in the Yanmen area.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone called anxiously.

After he coughed violently, his voice was hoarse and weak: "Who can lead the army to go out?"

King Wei held on to the table, leaned forward, and searched the courtiers with his eyes like torches and a hint of evil.

Above the court hall, it was extremely quiet. The Xihe soldier followed King Wei's gaze to both sides with a little panic, but failed to retract it.

Since King Wei came to the throne, in order to prevent mutiny, he has tried his best to suppress the generals. Now, let alone the people who can lead the troops, there are only very few soldiers fighting!

The Xihe soldier didn't understand. The situation on the border was critical. If he continued to hesitate, he was afraid that Taiyuan, Yunzhong, and Bingzhou would not be able to stay. He immediately became impatient and said, "Your Majesty, please make a decision early. The border war cannot wait." !"

"Shen Qing," King Wei was also a little anxious, but just as he opened his head, Li Qin, the left master, shook his head. He frowned and thought about it. To retain a capable candidate.

King Wei turned his attention to Zhao Zeng, Marquis of Yunyang, but yesterday Si Kou Zheng Duo found evidence of his disobedience. If he led his troops to recapture Xihe and then came back, the capital of Wei would be empty at that time. It may be difficult to resist.

"Your Majesty, I would like to lead an army to fight against Xihe and assist your uncle." Young Master Rang stood up, held a wat board in his hand, walked to the center of the hall, bowed and knelt down.

King Wei set his sights on Young Master Rang. His eldest son, he has many heirs. The word "Successful Elder" did not attract much attention from him. He didn't even remember who his mother was, but his son seemed to be Some time ago, I got a little close to Wei Wan.

When he thought of Wei Wan, he thought of the girl's unequivocal threat last night, and of his eldest brother Wei Jingji who was guarding him at the border far away. His face suddenly darkened and he did not speak immediately.

At this time, Li Qin, the left master, knelt on the mat and stood up straight: "The minister seconded the proposal. If the son lets you lead the army, it will not only show that our king attaches great importance to the frontier, but also appease the hearts of the people."

When the civil servants heard this, they all stood up straight and cupped their hands: "I second my opinion."

Zhao Zeng didn't notice the look in King Wei's eyes just now. He wanted to second his opinion, but King Wei's obvious suspicion and fear made him hesitate.

At this moment, Shen Kuangcheng, who had just stopped when his surname was mentioned, stood with his hands folded: "The minister seconded the proposal,"

Then he walked out from the crowd of military attaches, holding a wat tablet and bowing: "Quin Zi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has not yet gone to Yumen. It is better to assist Young Master Rang to go to Xihe and do his best to fight for the country."

"Okay!" King Wei excitedly knocked down Zhenshanhe. He was afraid!

He was afraid of his eldest concubine's ambition and suspected that his eldest concubine had ulterior motives. If only Shen Qing's son could take more care of him.

No, with help from the side, he would naturally feel more at ease.

But the problem of leading the army has been solved, but there are still many problems with the soldiers. Now Yanmen Pass has 30 troops, and the Weidu only has 20, not to mention how many will be allocated.

Just talk about whether these 20 soldiers are capable of fighting the border.

King Wei and everyone knew that there was no such thing. The people of Wei were in a state of intoxication and intoxication. Many officials had fallen into ruin, and the guard army had become a dwelling place for the sons of major aristocratic families.

What is left is King Wei's Xiaoqiwei and the Butterfly Bone Guard that was rewarded to Wei Wan. Even if they can count as ten, it is not enough.

What's more, the Sphenoid Guards are dead and rebellious, and as for him, no one in the Cavalry Guard except the leader can do anything about it.

All the courtiers looked at each other for a moment, but Li Qin hesitated and said, "It's better to conscript."

Hearing this, Zhao Zeng finally found an opportunity for himself to speak: "Recruiting troops takes time. I'm afraid that once all your troops have been recruited, soldiers from Beirong and Beishu will also come to the capital."

Zhao Zeng's words were not pleasant to the ear and seemed to discourage him in advance, but they were not unreasonable.

Shen Kuangcheng frowned and suggested: "It is better to let Quanzi lead the troops to support Xihe first. Besides Yanmen Pass, the ones with a large number of troops and capable of rushing to the rescue are Juyong Pass stationed in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and Zijin Pass south of Handan."

"At that time, Young Master Rang will lead the troops to suppress the rear, and send another cavalry to Juyong Pass and Yanmen Pass to report and rush for reinforcements."

When the listless Xihe soldier heard this, he raised his head like a fighting rooster and looked at Shen Kuangcheng with tears in his eyes.

Finally, there's one that works.

Zuo Shi Li Qin also nodded in agreement, but he seemed to think of something, and suggested: "It's better to let the young master let you go first, so as to appease the hearts of the people."

Shen Kuangcheng's brows knitted even tighter: "Master Zuo, this is a battlefield, not a child's play. The young master has never been to the battlefield in person. If there is any negligence, it will be a major event that severely damages the foundation of the country. It will naturally be able to appease the people after they are depressed. .”

Hearing this, Li Qin also pursed his lips. After all, this is about the country, and it is not what he is good at.

Wei Rang, who had been kneeling for a long time, suddenly spoke out, with a firm tone: "I am willing to lead the army first, and Master Shen's son has also never been on the battlefield. If the minister presses behind and spreads the word, the people of the state of Wei will think that the king I am biased and love my son."
