"It makes sense." Wang Rusong said solemnly:

"Master Xue's return will definitely be a great help to our Liang Army, and will make the people's hearts towards our Liang Army.

As time goes by, the public sentiment in Liangdi has gained the upper hand.

The outcome of the war not only depends on victory or defeat on the battlefield, but also on the hearts and minds of the people."

"That's right! It makes sense!"

"In exchange for Master Xue and Uncle Ma!"

"I'll beat these bastards again when it's Master Xue's turn!"

"That's right!"

All the generals agreed one after another, and for a while there was a sense of excitement.

Chen Yue's eyes were a little sore, and he bowed his hands to everyone with gratitude.

Does he want to exchange Xue Chengyi and Ma Conzhi?

Of course, he was his father-in-law, and he couldn't ignore their lives while fighting in the war.

But Chen Yue couldn't say what he wanted to say about attacking Zhi Zhi, because the current victory was obtained with the lives of countless Liang Army soldiers, and he was not qualified to make decisions for those dead soldiers.

Chu Yucheng didn't understand what Chen Yue was thinking, and said softly:

"Your Majesty, please don't be mentally burdened.

Our Liang army has just conquered Quannan Pass and dozens of cities in Tongzhou, and the soldiers also need to rest and recuperate, so it won't hurt to postpone the offensive for a few days."

Chen Yue rolled his eyes at him. He knew that this was Chu Yucheng trying to comfort him. He still understood the principle that soldiers are valuable and quick, so how could it not have any influence at all.

But Chen Yue still had not made up his mind whether he should immediately send his troops south to the capital or agree to the Long Army's delaying strategy.

I'm in a dilemma~

Just when Chen Yue was still unable to make up his mind, Xu Luo hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Chen Yue's ear. Chen Yue's expression was obviously stunned, and he waved his hand and said:

"Call in quickly!"

Everyone was confused, who made Chenyue show such an expression?

"See you, my lord!"

When the burly military man outside the door walked into the room and saluted with his fists clasped, they recognized him. This guy seemed to be the commander of the military camp who was following Xue Tian.

An uneasy thought suddenly appeared in everyone's mind:

"problem occurs!"

Otherwise, there would be no need for him to take action to send a military report or something like that. The matter must be serious and Xue Tian wouldn't worry about sending others.

Chenyue narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Why are you here? Something happened in Liangdi."

The haggard-looking man's face trembled, and a trace of sadness flashed unconsciously in his eyes. He took out a letter from his arms and said in a hoarse voice:

"Xue Duhu wrote it in his own handwriting and ordered me to present it to the prince."

His expression made the uneasiness in everyone's hearts become more and more intense.

Chen Yue unfolded the letter in front of everyone's anxious eyes, and his eyes began to scan over the familiar lines of handwriting.

"rub!"

After just two glances, Chen Yue suddenly stood up, his face turned extremely ugly, and the palms holding the letter were shaking unconsciously.

All the generals looked at each other, not daring to express their anger, for fear of disturbing Chen Yue.

Something must have happened! Chen Yue has never been so out of his mind.

There was silence in the hall, except for Chen Yue's increasingly heavy breathing.

After a long time, Chen Yue raised his eyes, with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes.

Anger? Sadness? Murderousness? Hatred?

Chen Yue's palms slowly clenched tightly, crushing the letter into a crumpled ball, exposing the veins on his forehead.

Chu Yucheng bravely asked:

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Everyone looked at Chen Yue with confusion and nervousness on their faces.

"Huh~"

Chenyue let out a long breath and said with a trembling voice:

"General Zhu, who was in charge of Shuofeng City, died in battle."

"boom!"

"What! General Zhu died in battle!"

"How can it be!"

"What!"

"Bang bang!"

"Crackling~"

These few words were like thunder in everyone's ears. Everyone was shocked, and a series of sounds of water glasses falling were heard in the room.

Chen Yue gritted his teeth and said:

"Tuoba Hong and Dong Emulang commanded the Yan army to dig tunnels to bury fire oil and blow up the walls of Shuofeng City.

The Yan army, which was several times larger than his own, poured into the city, and the elite cavalry also entered the city.

Our Beiliang city defenders resisted desperately, but the soldiers of the heavy armored battalion failed to hold on and refused to give an inch. In the end, they repelled the Yan army and seriously injured Tuoba Hong.

However, General Zhu and the commander of the heavy armor battalion, Zong Bao, both died in battle.

There were nearly 30,000 defenders in the city, and more than 20,000 people died in the battle."

Chen Yue's words continued to impact everyone's hearts.

Shuo Feng destroyed the city, Zhu Tianhe died in battle, Zong Bao died in battle...

Every piece of news was enough to shock people. Everyone was shocked and speechless, and soon everyone's faces showed a murderous intent.

That was a blood feud that cost tens of thousands of lives!

Chenyue raised his head with difficulty and looked at the soldier delivering the message and asked:

"Xue Tian asked you to come here and there must be other things he wants to tell you, right?"

Chenyue knew Xue Tian, ​​so he must have other motives for sending this personal soldier commander.

The man nodded and said solemnly:

"Military information is confidential, Xue Duhu asked his subordinates to relay it to the prince in person.

When the letter was sent, Xue Duhu had already personally led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and other reinforcements to rush to Shuofeng City through the starry night to maintain the Shuofeng defense line.

The Yan army took advantage of the situation and launched an unprecedented fierce attack on Wuguan and Tianlang Pass. Every city fell into a deadly battle. All the troops and horses that could be mobilized in Beiliang had been mobilized, and there were no more troops left.

Xue Duhu also said that even if there is only one person left in the Liangdi border army, the Yan army will not be allowed to cross the border!"

The strong soldier's words were sonorous and full of murderous intent, but they also made everyone aware of the critical situation at the border.

Such important military information was written in a letter. If it was lost and the Long Army noticed it, something big would happen.

It can only be relayed face to face.

The Yan army was not a fool. Although Shuofeng City was defeated in the battle, it also consumed a large amount of the Liang army's effective forces. Shuofeng City was empty of troops. The Liang army could only draw some troops from other places to strengthen the defense of Shuofeng City.

In this way, the troops in other places will appear weak, so the Yan army will take advantage of the situation and attack fiercely!

There are currently hundreds of thousands of Yan troops staying outside Beiliang, including hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry from the grasslands.

Once this force breaks through the border defenses, the Liang army will be powerless and can only watch the people of the Central Plains being brutally murdered by the Yan people.

There was dead silence in the hall.

Zhu Tianhe's death filled everyone with grief and indignation. The old general was considered the founder of the Beiliang Infantry today, and he single-handedly led many of the army's lieutenant generals.

Zhuge Muddleheaded, who was sitting aside, finally spoke and said softly:

"Your Majesty, the war in Liangdi is so critical, will my army still come to the capital?"

This question was on point. The situation in Beiliang was more difficult than ever before, and Xue Tian no longer had any extra troops to mobilize.

Every time a veteran dies in the next battle, Liangdi becomes more dangerous.

And what about the Yan army?

They can also recruit civilians from various tribes from the grasslands to serve as cannon fodder for sieges.

The situation is critical ~

Are the hundreds of thousands of Liang troops advancing or retreating now?

Chen Yue straightened up little by little, there was no sadness in his eyes anymore, only murderous intent remained, and he shouted in a deep voice:

The original text comes from Yuta&Read Novel~&

"Send the order!

Call together the generals of all battalions and armies to discuss matters in Tongzhou City!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all shouted:
Chapter completed!
