Haotian let out a long breath, turned his head and shouted loudly: "I am respectful and sincere!"
"My subordinates are here!" Fengjing and Fengjing replied in unison.
"I won't give you a time limit, but you should understand the current situation. If His Majesty's 200,000-strong army is wiped out, it will not only greatly reduce our strength, but also have a great impact on the empire's determination to resist the war. From now on, don't
Play another hide-and-seek game for me, and in the shortest possible time, break through the defense lines of Haixi and Dongbo."
Fengjing and Xinke were shocked, looked at each other, and finally nodded and said: "My subordinates will definitely go all out!"
"That's good. Guanying, there was an accident this time, but think about it for yourself whether you have neglected your duty. War is raging in Yuzhou, and the decisive battle is imminent. At this time, as an intelligence officer, you should understand the importance of keeping an eye on the opponent.
Of course, I can’t blame you entirely. But, I don’t want a third time!” Haotian said with a gloomy face.
"I understand that I will do my best to live up to my lord's high expectations." Guanying finally breathed a sigh of relief. He also understood that this time Haotian was too angry and too worried about the situation of the battle, and he happened to bump into it.
Above the muzzle, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
"Military advisor, please contact Army Commander He Huairen and Qinchuan Li Tieming as much as possible, hoping that they can mobilize the navy to block Kato Eagle's water channel. Power is precious now, and we must concentrate every ounce of power. On the big river, we can only rely on them.
Already."
"I understand!" Xuanji bowed and said. Since the Dongwa Navy constantly deployed troops behind the Hetao to harass, the Hetao was unable to use its full strength every time it attacked. Of course, this was also related to the strategy of Luo Xiang and others.
However, if the Eastern Japanese Navy is allowed to patrol the river, the threat to the Hetao will still be extremely huge. Especially after Haixi Baijing has sent 100,000 troops southward and has reached the Yaozhou area. If the Eastern Japanese navy cannot be resolutely
If there is a problem with the navy, then Loop is likely to face a cross-river sneak attack by the coalition forces.
"Mr. Luo, tell King Weiyuan that our army on the South Yunnan Road in Hetao is going to go north to the Yuzhou Road via the western part of the Huai River. Please ask him to prepare enough boats to cross the river in the Binzhou area of the Huai River. Let the Blood Commander and the others move faster.
We can no longer take care of the southern Yunnan side and ask them to transfer their territory to the Song family as soon as possible."
A fire broke out in Xuzhou City, which made the situation in Qingfeng even worse. Originally, the Li family of Qinchuan and the Assistant Prince were planning to wait for Haotian to take the lead first, and then follow behind to pick up the bargains. But now, everyone
Everyone has to consider their own situation.
Haotian has already informed the Auxiliary Prince of Tiandu Shengjing about An Yongchang's matter. In order to clear his innocence, An Yongchang not only handed over all his power, but also voluntarily banned himself from home and accepted the court's investigation at any time. In this way,
Later, the auxiliary king, Haotian and others who were originally suspicious of An Yongchang were extremely confused and didn't know what kind of medicine An Yongchang was selling in his gourd.
After the 100,000 Northeastern Allied Forces in Yaozhou arrived at Jin Zongwu in Luozhou, and Kasimbas personally went to take command, all forces in Qingfeng, including Haotian, were dizzy. Up to now, the 200,000 soldiers in Xuzhou Yinglie Emperor
Around the army, more than 500,000 Northeastern Allied Forces, more than 100,000 Eastern Japanese Army, 200,000 Ji Le Army and 100,000 Eastern Japanese Navy have gathered. Faced with such a situation, the Li family and his son who were originally in Dahui County are now
There was also some intention of quitting.
To the northeast of them is Cheng Xianqing's 200,000-strong army, to the south is the 300,000-strong army of the four famous generals of Ji Le, and to the northwest is the 350,000 Ji Le coalition army commanded by Cassimbas himself. Although there is still a fighting force to the west
The extremely powerful dragon cavalry legion, and the focus of the Paradise Alliance is the 200,000-strong army of the Heroic Emperor. But if the Paradise Holy Cult wants to eat up his little possessions first, Li Tieming doesn't think he can return unscathed.
Faced with such a bad situation, Haotian was not intimidated, but instead stimulated his fighting spirit. Nearly 300,000 troops under his command were ready, but the secret messages for Xue Sha and Dugu's army to go north came one after another.
"Lord, I have something I want to talk to you about." After finally using various excuses to dismiss everyone, Luo Xiang went straight to Haotian's courtyard.
Haotian was very curious. Luo Xiang came so solemnly. It was obvious that he had important matters to discuss. But he really didn't understand what Luo Xiang had to do. All the affairs in the military these days were planned by Luo Xiang and Xuanji. It should be
Nothing happens.
After thinking for a while, Haotian waved to Xin Jiao: "Jiao, please go out for a while, I will talk to my husband about something."
Luo Xiang said: "It doesn't matter if the mistress stays. At least the mistress also represents the thoughts of several mistresses."
Xin Jiao remained silent, Haotian glanced at Luo Xiang doubtfully, and finally nodded.
"Lord, to be honest, I don't understand why you are so persistent in breaking through Cassimbas's defense line and rescuing the besieged 200,000 troops. Have you thought about the consequences of this?" Luo Xiang said straight to the point. He and
Between Haotian, there seems to be no need to say those false words of greeting.
"Do you have any opinions?"
Luo Xiang nodded: "Not just me, but all military generals and several matrons, and even government officials."
Haotian knew that his decision would arouse opposition from everyone, but he never expected that everyone would think so. He turned to look at Xin Jiao, who actually lowered his head, obviously agreeing with Luo Xiang's intention.
.Haotian couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect that one decision would lead to him being betrayed by everyone.
Haotian pulled up a chair and sat down, then pushed a chair to Luo Xiang. He picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. He smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, please tell me in detail."
"We do not agree with the 200,000 troops who rescued the heroic emperor." Luo Xiang said directly.
"There are only 200,000 troops in Xuzhou City, of which only 100,000 are elite troops. The food inside can last for up to five days, and if you look around them, there are nearly a million elite troops. The only way they can break through is Kassin.
Bass side. But look, Cassimbas has a total of 350,000 troops under his command. Although they come from the four countries, Cassimbas is such a person. As soon as he arrives here, I am sure that these more than 350,000 troops will
It's firmly in his hands. Lord, I don't think our nearly 300,000 troops and the heroic Emperor's 200,000 troops can break through Cassimbas' fully defended defense line if they attack from both sides."
Haotian said calmly: "Then what do you mean, sit back and watch them perish?"
Luo Xiang did not answer, but continued: "It is impossible for the imperial court to come to our aid. They do not have the courage at all. The army of the Li family in Qinchuan has been targeted by Zhu Zhao and others, and may be destroyed at any time.
Those 200,000 troops are already dead. They will die if they defend the city, and they will die if they break through. There is no possibility of escape. Unless our navy can retake the defense line of the river, and then let them retreat from the river."
"As a minister of the empire, how can I sit back and watch His Majesty's destruction?" Haotian said with wide eyes.
Luo Xiang did not back down: "I don't think we have the ability to rescue His Majesty. Once the imperial army leaves Xuzhou City, the surrounding Paradise Alliance troops will inevitably follow closely. And if we want to break through Cassimbas's defense line, at least I
I think we don’t have that ability. Even if the 100,000-strong army of the Blood Commander and the Sovereign Commander arrives, it will be the same. If we really want to fight hard, I think it is a fluke that only half of our 300,000-plus troops can be left."
"As a subject of the empire, you must always be prepared to sacrifice your life for the empire." Haotian said without hesitation.
"That's your personal opinion. We Hetao soldiers don't mind dying for the country, but we definitely don't want to die in such a worthless place. You can be loyal to the empire by yourself, but for your own ideas, more than ten people have been sacrificed.
To save the lives of thousands of soldiers, I don’t think this is something a superior person should do.”
Haotian looked at Luo Xiang coldly: "Don't forget, we are the subjects of the empire."
Luo Xiang was obviously determined to have a complete showdown with Haotian, so he spoke without any scruples: "My lord, now that the three roads in the Hetao include the Bloody Plateau, other than yourself, even the mistress probably doesn't think of yourself as Qingfeng.
They are the subjects of the empire. The empire has long been defeated and has become a drag on the nation. After 619, there are very few people in Hetao who still regard themselves as subjects of the Qingfeng Empire. Especially at the Battle of Hukou, all the people of Hetao have become dissatisfied with the empire.
Li Xin. My lord, let me ask you, even if you rescued His Majesty, do you think His Majesty can still be revived with Qingfeng’s current situation?"
"I haven't tried it, why do I say it can't be done?" Haotian said forcefully.
Luo Xiang sneered: "My lord, even if your Majesty can escape, there will not be many 200,000 troops left. In that case, how many of the empire's troops are left? Leaving aside the Southern Military Region, the most the empire's troops can do is guard Tiandu Shengjing.
With the Qinchuan Li family, the Yizhou Song family, the Bliss Holy Sect, and the three northeastern countries that are eyeing the enemy, how can the empire be revived? Moreover, if we really lose these more than 100,000 elite soldiers, my lord, why do you think we can keep the Hetao Three Kingdoms?
Road. Don’t forget that you are the lord of Hetao Sanlu. All the hopes of the 16 million people under your rule are pinned on you. My lord, for your loyalty alone, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed.
The army will follow you to your death, and I firmly disagree with your intention."
Haotian's face was uncertain. He naturally understood what Luo Xiang said was reasonable, but he also had his own insistence: "Sir, I am not doing this for my reputation, but for our country and the people of the world.
.”
"If you are really for the people of the world, your best choice is to become the emperor yourself and end the situation of the empire being divided as soon as possible. Look at our Hetao Road 3. After experiencing the ravages of alien invasion, the economy and people's livelihood have deteriorated.
We have reached the edge of collapse, but in just three years, we have recovered and surpassed the most prosperous times before. And if you look at the current empire, including Tiandu Shengjing, the lives of the people are not as good as ours in the Hetao.
Okay? The empire has fallen and is hopeless. You keep saying that you are doing it for the people of the world, but if this continues, it will only increase the suffering of the people."
