The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 305

In the next few days, the battle continued fiercely, and the entire Xiayang Pass was like a meat grinder, countless lives were crushed into mud on this thin pass.

In the pass, a whole [-] soldiers and horses lined up neatly in front, the horses neighing, and the swords and guns like a forest.Luo Feng was dressed in black armor, and looked at the group of people in front of him coldly, his eyes were full of fighting spirit and domineering.

"Are you all ready?" Luo Feng rode in front of the crowd and shouted sharply. "Are you ready to throw your life in the wilderness at any time, and are you ready to sacrifice yourself under the iron hoof of the enemy?"

"Always be ready!" 1 people roared in unison, their eyes firm and decisive.

"Very well, we are all likely to die, but before we die, the enemy must die more than us. And our death will pave the way for Hengshan's victory. This is our value." Luo Feng was satisfied Nodded and shouted loudly, "Now, everyone, follow me to realize your own value, let's go!"

The closed door was suddenly opened, and [-] paces rode on a horse, passed through the closed door in an orderly manner, and galloped away to the south.

Lin Yifan and Luo Yi stood on the city wall, silently looking at the leaving team, feeling very sad.This is the elite person they have spent several days to select. When they go to an unknown area, life and death are unpredictable.Even with Lin Yifan's knowledge of wilderness survival in his head, there is no guarantee that these 1 people can safely survive the harsh environment of the vast Gobi, everything can only depend on their luck and ability.

A month ago, the news of the failure of the imperial court's Northern Expedition finally reached the capital, and then quickly spread to all parts of the world.

The news of the failure instantly ignited everyone in the capital. There were those who feared, those who cursed, and those who spread rumors. For a while, people in the entire capital were discussing, expressing their opinions on the failure of the Northern Expedition, arguing over the culprit of this failure.Undoubtedly, all the spearheads were directed at Cao Ziyan, who led the army in the Northern Expedition, and even the entire Cao family.

Compared with the various discussions among the people, the situation above the court was quite different. Cao Ji was extremely gloomy, and all the officials were also worried.Only the emperor Gao Yu sat on the dragon chair, with a half-smile on his face, looking indifferently at the officials below.

At this moment, he has mixed feelings in his heart, mixed joy and sorrow.The joy is that the Cao family has now led their troops to defeat, and the entire army is almost destroyed. It can be said that it has severely damaged its foundation, causing the Cao family's strength in the court to decline rapidly, creating a good opportunity for him to regain power.But what is worrying is that the strength of the Northern Qunni is so strong that they completely annihilated the 20 imperial army in one fell swoop.Even now, even the land of Huazhou is being ravaged wantonly by rebels, as if entering a no-man's land.If they are allowed to continue to develop, who will be able to control them in the future?
With complicated emotions, Gao Yu looked at Cao Ji with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Cao Aiqing, I trust you, so I appointed Commander Lang as the commander of the Northern Expedition. But why does your son repay me? Losing a master and humiliating the country , But that's all. Poor those 20 loyal and brave men were lost in Anzhou, and the people of Huazhou were trampled by the rebels. This is the shame of the court, Prime Minister Cao, what else do you have to say?"

Cao Ji frowned slightly, stepped out of the train slowly, looked up at Gao Yu, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "Your Majesty, the old minister has nothing to say, the dog lost the battle this time, his crime is unforgivable, and I will pay you back." I ask the emperor to punish me."

"Cao, Cao Aiqing, let's talk about this matter after your son returns." Gao Yu was taken aback by the look in his eyes, and then realized that the current court has already controlled him, and now is not the time to completely flop with him. "Now that the Northern Expedition has failed, Li Ni took advantage of the situation and went south to Huazhou to attack the city. The imperial court must immediately send troops to assist Huazhou, so as to prevent it from seizing the land of Huazhou and threatening the flank of the capital."

"What your Majesty said is true." Cao Ji calmed down and nodded, "The old minister has urgently ordered the mobilization of troops from surrounding states to Huazhou to rush to help, and at the same time asked the emperor to order the Leizhou Army to enter Huazhou to suppress the rebellion. The Leizhou army will definitely be able to defeat the rebellion and regain Huazhou."

"Inappropriate!" At this time, Zhao Ming stood up and retorted, "The Leizhou Army is the first line of defense against the Tianyun Kingdom. It is not a last resort and must not be recruited. Your Majesty, I think that you can immediately dispatch [-] people from the capital The guards rushed to Jingtian Pass in Huazhou to strengthen the defense of the eastern pass and protect the west side of our capital."

"Hmph, Mr. Zhao, the city guards are also the first line of defense for the capital. Don't you know whether the capital is more important or Huazhou is more important?" Cao Ji looked at him with a gloomy face and scolded angrily.

"As long as we can defend the western pass, the capital will be safe. Does Prime Minister Cao want to let go until the rebel soldiers approach the capital?" Zhao Ming squinted his eyes and retorted without giving in.

"As long as the Leizhou Army goes north, everything can be settled. Mr. Zhao has always opposed the deployment of the Leizhou Army. Could it be that he secretly negotiated with the rebels?"

"Nonsense, the official is worried that Tianyun will take the opportunity to attack Leizhou, so he has to guard against it. On the contrary, you, the prime minister, are unwilling to send the city guards to help Huazhou, so you really communicated with the rebels secretly. Otherwise, your son will not It was such a complete defeat all at once."

"you!"

"Okay, that's enough!" Gao Yu roared angrily, but he was very happy to see Cao Ji deflated.On the surface, he looked at the two of them with an angry face, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, "As important officials of the court, how can you openly insult them like a shrew in the court, how decent is it?"

"The ministers are disrespectful, and I ask the emperor to come down." The two quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Get up." Gao Yu still looked angry, looked at the two of them, and reprimanded: "The enemy is in front of us, and all the ministers and workers should be of the same mind and work as one, how can they fight each other and keep internal friction?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I am ashamed of you." With this big hat removed, everyone had to bow down and plead guilty.

"Okay, let's get back together, you don't have to quarrel about this matter anymore." Gao Yu raised his hand, motioned for everyone to stand up, and said lightly, "The city guards have the heavy responsibility of guarding the capital, so they shouldn't be transferred easily." Li. However, the enemy army abused Huazhou and threatened the safety of the capital. I thought that they could be dispatched to Huazhou to stop the rebels from invading. As for the guard of the capital, the Mingzhou Northern Expeditionary Army can be ordered to return immediately and guard the capital.”

"Your Majesty can't." Cao Ji was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Now that Mingzhou is encircled, Yang Ni can't stand alone, and it has become a battle of trapped beasts. With time, Mingzhou will be pacified in one fell swoop. If so Withdrawing troops at this time will not only waste all previous efforts, but I am afraid it will strengthen Yang Ni's strength again and pose a threat to the north of our capital, please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Is Cao Aiqing serious?" Gao Yu chuckled, "Yang Ni has been beaten to the brink of death, and there is no possibility of recovery. Even if our army retreats, the rebels from Zhao'an can still continue to encircle and suppress him. The most important thing is now." The most important thing is Li Ni of Huazhou. Only by driving him out of Huazhou can he curb his development momentum. It is already a cold winter, and all parties are powerless to attack. Our army only needs to guard it and wait for the next year. Then we will be able to raise our troops to the north again, and wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop."

"Your Majesty, this move is really inappropriate. The old minister thinks..." Cao Ji's face was ashen, and he wanted to continue to persuade him.

"Okay, I think this is the safest move, and Cao Aiqing will stop talking." Gao Yu was not willing to listen to him anymore, waved his hand, and said impatiently, "Retire!"

The officials retreated, Cao Ji walked out of the hall with a gloomy face, looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and sneered at the corner of his mouth. Of course he knew what the emperor had in mind, and wanted to transfer the city guards under his control from the capital, and let The [-] soldiers and horses of Mingzhou under the control of Tang Tianhao entered the capital and completely got rid of his control.But, do you really think I can't crack such an obvious scheme?How childish.Well, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

With a wave of his sleeve robe, Cao Ji straightened his body even more, and walked out of the palace with big strides.At this time, the stronger the wind, the more crazy the snow.
