Chapter 1036 The situation is grim
Unfortunately, Zhao Xinxin's efforts were destined to be wasted.
With so many soldiers killed King Xiang, he could not admit that he had colluded with the Crescent Kingdom.
But his temper was not very good, so he spoke extremely irritably, "Zhao Xinxin, if you insist on accusing me of being an elder again, don't blame me for not giving face to the Taoist Palace."
Zhao Xinxin smiled helplessly, sighed and spread her hands, "Is it really wrong?"
King Xiang took a few breaths before he spoke irritably, "Catch the evildoer and catch the two, take the thief and take the stolen goods, say nothing, and show evidence."
Zhao Xinxin was about to speak, but Li Yongsheng rushed to speak, "Come out of evidence, will you confess your guilt?"
"How is that possible?" King Xiang roared, and after a pause, he explained again, "I mean... even if you come up with evidence, it will be fake evidence. I will not recognize what I have never done."
"Ha," Li Yongsheng chuckled and stopped talking, but the meaning was already very obvious - you were only at this level and didn't even dare to confront each other.
Zhao Xinxin is not used to this deceptive method. As his partner for tens of thousands of years, she is still not used to it.
She said coldly, "Crescent Man has entered, but you have contracted all over... This coincidence is a little too coincidental."
"I still think you have any evidence," King Xiang snorted disdainfully, "How do I want to fight? When will I fight? That's my business. Do you have to put such a hat on me? Do you want to give me a cup of drunkenness for thousands of years?"
Zhao Xinxin said nothing, and was silent for half a stick of incense before raising her hand and speaking sincerely, "Uncle Wang, the people of Western Xinjiang are really too bitter... I can't sit back and watch."
"Then you go to Xijiang," King Xiang said impatiently, "I didn't stop you, just don't be upset in front of me... In fact, when the Crescent Man came in, I'm shrinking across the board. Isn't that a good thing for the court?"
Zhao Xinxin was really a little tired of this guy's nonsense, so he became irritable, "Then you also withdraw the navy that blocked Youzhou County to show that you are supporting the imperial court to fight the crescent people."
"This is impossible," King Xiang refused very simply, "The same thing is true. War is my personal business. I cannot change my combat plan just because you said anything."
Zhao Xinxin became more and more impatient, "Your navy blocked the seas. Is this the attitude of supporting the court in fighting against Western Xinjiang?"
"You don't know anything at all," King Xiang was also impatient. "Middle Earth is very large, and the Western Xinjiang is far away from Youzhou. What can blockade Youzhou have to do with Western Xinjiang? Well, what else do you have to say?"
"How far can it be?" Zhao Xinxin shouted, "The True Lord brings a few storage bags on the left and right. The resources in the whole north are scarce. You clearly have the intention to attack the world!"
Li Yongsheng curled his lips when he heard this, and then shook his head speechlessly: Yongxin, you are really not a diplomatic material.
"Then you can let the True Lord of the South come to the north with storage bags!" King Xiang became more impatient, "Left and left, see off guests!"
When seeing off guests, most of the soldiers looked at these two people with a bad look. Not only did they kill our comrades, but they also had to frame the prince for colluding with the Crescent Man. Such people can really be killed.
As for how many people are thinking about the information leaked by Zhao Xinxin? It’s hard to say, I can only say... Maybe there is.
Even the two true lords ten miles away felt the strong hostility of the soldiers, and had to cheer up and respond carefully to the two, and strictly prevent someone from attacking them.
Fortunately, although the negotiations were not going well, everyone was very restrained and finally nothing unfortunate happened.
When he returned to Songfeng Temple, Zhao Xinxin was in anger, "This guy is not only greedy and tyrannical, but also shameless enough to tell lies with his eyes open."
How many years have you lived, can't you even see through this? Li Yongsheng looked at her speechlessly, "I told you that there is no need to go, you must not listen... Now you are so angry, can you make a fortune?"
Zhao Xinxin replied frowningly, "I know all of these, but the current imperial court cannot support two-sided battles at all. King Xiang has retreated, which has increased the difficulty for the imperial court to wipe out him. He cannot end the battle as soon as possible to advance westward."
"Yes," Scholar Huyan also sighed, "You can't focus all your attention to the west, the people of Western Xinjiang will suffer."
After all, he is the true lord from Western Xinjiang. When it comes to his hometown, he looks unbearable - the key is that the Huyan family is also in Western Xinjiang.
"Well, the court is in a dilemma," Gongsun Buqi nodded in agreement. "Once he goes west with all his might, King Xiang will turn against him and exert his strength, and he will be able to take Shuntian Prefecture."
He has never been very respectful to the court, and now he can say this with a sympathy face, which is obviously also worried about the current situation.
Scholar Hu Yan shook his head. He had a meticulous mind and had always looked at problems thoroughly. "King Xiang didn't need to make any effort."
"He only needs to take advantage of the opportunity of the reduction of the imperial court's troops and send a cavalry to sweep the area, so that he can achieve his goal. Without food and the sea route is not smooth... The court can hold on, and the common people can't hold on. The consequences can be imagined."
Hearing this, Li Yongsheng couldn't help but think of the saying "using food to trap the enemy". This plan was originally suggested by someone in the cabinet, and it was later leaked to him.
He expressed his firm opposition at the time. No matter what, it was a civil war. If it were a national war, the scorched earth policy would have strengthened the walls and cleared the country, which might not have made him too disgusted, but the civil war... what is the reason for the people?
But he is not a person in the court, and no matter how big the opinions are, it is useless.
Now it seems that the strategy the court planned to use was used by others on their own, which is really ridiculous.
I don’t know what expressions would be like when the princes in the temple realize this?
Scholar Hu Yan's analysis made sense. Even Zhao Xinxin's face showed a hint of sadness when she heard this, "What will the court do?"
"I don't know this," Zhenjun Shusheng shook his head and pondered for a while before speaking slowly. "It depends on which direction they care more about. On the east and west sides, attacking one side and defending the other side, you must focus on it."
When they were talking about this, the cabinet was also talking about it. Because it was of great importance, in addition to the cabinet ministers, there were also Minister of Military Service Li Qingming, Ning Zhiyuan and Wei Yue of the inner court, and some generals in the army attended the audience.
Ning Yu's horse was so red that he had surpassed Eunuch Wei and became the number one person in the inner court. However, the Tian family was not good enough to defeat the old minister for no reason, so Wei Yue was able to continue to take charge of the rituals and supervision.
Of course, Eunuch Wei also knew how awkward his position was, so he had been very low-key in recent years. On the way, he met Ning Zhiyuan's horse team and took the initiative to avoid each other, fully demonstrating his current affairs.
There is no way, it’s impossible not to know the current situation. Fan Han, the second person in the inner court, was killed by an imperial edict.
Eunuch Wei actually knew very well. What could the robbery of Lihuo Fan have to do with Eunuch Fan?
That guy was not loved by the Tian family, for fear that he would not live a low-key life and would not have the ability to cause such a big storm.
Fan Han's death was just a chance for the Tian family to take revenge. This powerful head can also reduce some of the anger of Xuannv Palace.
So in the current debate on such occasions, Eunuch Wei kept silent honestly - I came with only my ears.
In fact, even Ning Yuma didn't have the courage to speak at this time because he was not familiar with military affairs, and in essence, he was just a jester. Even if he wanted to express his opinion on major events, it would be after the Tian family returned to the palace.
Among the group of people, there are three types of opinions. Meng Fu and Ji Fu both advocate defending from the east and the west, because in their opinion, the invasion of foreign races involves the national destiny, and no matter how much they pay attention to it, the fierce Patriotic War more than 40 years ago can be proved.
Grand Sima Kunshuai held a unique opinion, she believed that the court is still focusing on suppressing rebellions.
If King Xiang defended his life, he would slowly waste him. As for the war in Xijiang, "I can still ride a horse and use a gun to move my gun. The safety of Xijiang is left to me. If I don't die for a day, Xijiang will not fall!"
He is worthy of being one of the eight generals of the State of Defense, and his pride is truly admirable.
In fact, the hatred between Shuai Kun and the Crescent Man has gone big, and the Patriotic War has not been claimed. Moreover, she is well-known in Western Xinjiang. Although she is the only woman among the eight generals, she is more intimidating than most generals.
Li Qingming held another opinion. He believed that the time to suppress the rebellion with all his might is ripe, and the court needed to concentrate all its troops to destroy the largest rebel army of King Xiang in a destructive and devastating manner.
Material shortage? It doesn’t matter. As long as you concentrate your efforts to fight this battle, you will naturally be able to obtain material supplements from King Xiang.
Even if King Xiang destroyed the supplies, it still doesn't matter. After the north-south passage is unobstructed, a large number of southern materials will naturally come.
Zhongfu firmly opposed this plan. He said, although I am not familiar with military affairs, I also know that attacking and defending are easy. King Xiang has now completely reduced his defense. Please tell me, Minister Li, how long will it take to purge King Xiang?
Where can Li Qingming give a specific time? He can only say that we will attack with all our might. King Xiang hastily decided to retreat, and the defense line will not be too reliable. Moreover, the Xiang Wang Mansion is currently exerting force on the sea, and the high-end combat power on land is much less.
This is probably inappropriate. Meng Fu spoke out against it. He attacked with all his strength on the eastern front. When the crescent man on the western front received the news, he would naturally increase the attack. The scoundrels in the western Xinjiang would suffer.
Shuai Kun snorted coldly when he heard this, saying that although I do not agree with a strong attack, the common people in the Western Xinjiang... I will live and die with them.
At this moment, Li Qingming raised another argument: We have strong attacks, but the people of the New Moon should weigh the consequences. Otherwise, after we suppress the rebellion, will they still have good fruits to eat?
"This is a good thing," Li Shuai, who attended the conference, agreed. "The people of the crescent moon seem brave and timid, and look very reckless. In fact, they only like to take advantage of things and obviously suffer losses. They rarely do things."
