The urgent military information that Suzhou was broken reached Kyoto almost half a month ago.
This naturally made Kyoto even more gloomy.
But in fact, this result was not too beyond the expectations of Liang Hanmin and the court cabinet ministers.
With just the few men and horses in Suzhou City, it would be a real luck if we could stop the Liao army.
The city was destroyed, which was expected.
They did not appear to be as panicked as the common people, but Liang Hanmin personally issued two imperial edicts urging the two forbidden troops who originally defended the capital to rush to the frontier to hurry up.
Fengmen Pass was broken, Suzhou City was also broken, and if Xuanhua Mansion was broken again, then the entire southwestern part of Xingqing Mansion would be captured by the Liao Army.
The territory is not large, but those places were originally dangerous places.
But today, the important figures in Dayu Center are really panicking.
The eunuchs in the palace walked as fast as flying, and hurriedly sent Wang Zai and Su Zai, who were on errands in various yamen, Li Shi'an, the Magistrate of the Privy Council, Yi Zhi, the commander of the front office department, and Dai Xiangui, the commander of the guards and troops, who were the most powerful in the dynasty.
The minister announced to the imperial study room.
Several people arrived one after another.
Then we met in person outside the Imperial Study Room.
They looked at each other with serious expressions on their faces.
They each have their own channels for getting the news, and they are not much worse than the imperial court's channels.
The military information that Liang Hanmin could receive often didn't take long for them to receive.
"Your Majesty, Su Shi and Li Shi'an... kowtow to the Emperor."
Several people entered the imperial study.
Sure enough, he saw Liang Hanmin sitting behind the desk with a sinking face.
"Let's all get flat!"
Even the tone of his speech was full of dullness.
In the past, when people like Wang Beili and Su Shi met in court, the first thing Liang Hanmin did was often arrange for eunuchs to give them seats, but this time he didn't even have the intention to give them seats.
He knocked on the desk, frowned and said: "You each have your own disciples and former officials. Have you received the news from Chengdu Mansion?"
"hiss……"
Wang Beili immediately took a breath and said, "Your Majesty, could it be that something happened in Chengdu Mansion?"
This is tantamount to saying that he did not know.
As an official in the court, there are some things that Liang Hanmin cannot admit even if he knows he knows them well.
Su Shi, Li Shi'an and others also remained silent.
Liang Hanmin's face was still ugly, and he continued: "Those two yellow-mouthed boys have gone back on their word and have already mobilized their troops to attack Kyoto. Huh! We have gathered 130,000 troops, claiming to be 300,000, and want to capture Lizhou East first.
County, and then attack Kyoto all the way!"
He originally had many people stationed in Chengdu and Tongchuan counties.
Nowadays, there are naturally people who are secretly communicating with the imperial court.
He may not know the detailed plan of Lu Liang, but his intention is clear.
"this……"
Wang Beili and others cooperated with expressions of surprise.
Then Su Shi said: "But didn't Yu Shangshu promise that Lu Liang and the Lu Fang brothers would not go back on their word?"
He certainly had no intention of taking the opportunity to suppress Yu Yuanwei.
After all, Yu Yuanwei did say this in front of all of them.
Yu Yuanwei is now the representative of the Minsheng faction, the new student faction, and they don't want to see Yu Yuanwei really grow up.
For them, it is better for the DPRK and China to be roughly divided into their two factions than a tripartite confrontation.
"snort!"
Liang Hanmin had to protect Yu Yuanwei and snorted coldly: "Lu Fang is his student, so it's not strange that he was deceived. Since even people like Xu Jinnian can't ignore integrity, what kind of master-disciple relationship?
It’s even more unreliable.”
He waved his hands and said, "I didn't call you here to discuss how to punish Yu Yuanwei. What I want is how to solve this personal problem!"
"I am guilty."
Wang Beili, Su Shi and others all bowed quickly.
But all of them looked troubled.
Kyoto has just allocated 200,000 forbidden troops, and this number may not be enough. It may be necessary to continue sending troops to assist the border areas.
Now that the Chengdu rebels suddenly show their claws, it will definitely make things worse for the Dayu court.
We can only think of ways to garrison troops from various places.
Even among the imperial guards from various places, many are already on their way to assist Xingqing County.
"say!"
Seeing that Su Shi and others were silent, Liang Hanmin patted the table.
There were rare times when he couldn't control his emotions like this.
It can be seen that he is indeed in a very depressed mood now.
"emperor!"
Seeing Liang Hanmin's anger, Commander Yi Zhi stood up and said, "With the current situation, we are facing the Liao, Jin, and Mongolia at the same time. This is the limit of what the country can bear. If we continue to fight against those rebels,
In the stalemate, even if troops and horses can be mobilized from the south, the food and grass can be maintained for a long time. Therefore, I think that when we deal with this rebel army, we should seek a quick victory! Assemble heavy troops and defeat them in Dongjun, Lizhou
Destroy them all!"
Regardless of whether it was Daliao, Jin, Feng, or Tiemeng, they launched an attack on Dayu at the same time.
Or the rapid development of the rebel army.
In fact, this was all something that happened to the Chongqing court.
Beforehand, they didn't even think that such a big thing would suddenly happen, and they would be enemies both inside and outside.
Over the years, the development of Dayu's national strength can only be said to be stable. In terms of grain storage, it is impossible to withstand such expenditure.
As Yi Zhi said, being able to maintain a constant supply of food and fodder to resist Daliao, Jin Feng and Tie Meng was already the limit.
If there is still a stalemate with the rebels, not only will they have to exploit the people, but they will also have to carve out pieces of flesh from the nobles.
By then, the national situation in Dayu will only become more chaotic.
Liang Hanmin probably thought of this a long time ago, but finally someone expressed his opinion. His face looked a little better and he said: "Yi Aiqing's words make sense."
Then he asked: "How many troops can be mobilized in Lizhou East County and other places now?"
Yi Zhi replied: "I think that the Imperial Army can be mobilized from the five counties of Jingzhao County, Lizhou East County, Qingyuan County, Jingxi County, and Kuizhou County. Except for Lizhou East County, the other four counties will fight against Lizhou East County."
There is potential for an encirclement. As long as the existing 20,000 forbidden troops in Lizhou East County can hold on for a period of time, when the reinforcements from the four counties arrive, they will be able to annihilate the rebel army!"
"Um……"
Liang Hanmin nodded slightly again and glanced at Su Shi and others, "Do you have any objections?"
Su Shi and others handed over their hands and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty."
Liang Hanmin frowned again, "Then who will be sent as the recruiting envoy to destroy the rebels?"
If he didn't pay much attention to the rebels before, now he does regard the rebels as a threat. It is impossible to appoint generals who still have old feelings for the previous dynasty.
