Chapter 278: Soldiers in the North(1/2)
Ye Qingyun cursed and left Bai Xuanzong.
It's not that Bai Xuanzong didn't treat him well.
It was Bai Xuanzong's food that left Ye Qingyun speechless.
I thought there was something really delicious.
Take a look at the results.
What the hell.
It's not much better than the food at Prince's Mansion.
And I don’t know why, but the taste of the food is so delicious.
Simply!
Ye Qingyun resisted the urge to curse and had an extremely painful meal.
Then he quickly ran away.
Stop eating!
I said I wouldn't eat anything.
Shen Tianhua took Ye Qingyun all the way back to Chang'an.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Chang'an, he was stopped by the Forbidden Army.
"what happened?"
Ye Qingyun looked at the large group of forbidden troops in front of him, somewhat confused.
The commander of the imperial army bowed his hand to Ye Qingyun.
"National Preceptor, Your Majesty ordered me to wait here. Please also ask the Imperial Preceptor to enter the palace as soon as possible!"
Ye Qingyun was startled, "Why are you so anxious?"
The commander of the imperial army shook his head, his expression extremely solemn.
"The Imperial Master is unaware of something, something big has happened."
When Ye Qingyun heard this, he did not dare to neglect and quickly followed them to the palace.
When they arrived at the main hall, they saw all the ministers there. Li Tianmin was sitting on the dragon chair with a worried look on his face.
"Meet the Imperial Master!"
When all the ministers saw Ye Qingyun arriving, they all saluted in unison.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
Ye Qingyun asked hurriedly.
Li Tianmin took a deep breath.
"The army of the Northern Sirius Clan is coming!"
Ye Qingyun was also shocked when he heard this.
He knew that to the north of the Tang Dynasty was the Tianlang Clan.
The Sirius tribe is a very tough and powerful race.
Occupies the northernmost land of Dongtu.
The Tang Dynasty unified the Eastern Territory, but it was the only small area in the north that was never captured.
Because the Sirius Clan is entrenched here.
Not only that, during the years when the Tang Dynasty was founded, the Sirius tribe often invaded the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.
It made the people in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty miserable.
For this reason, the Tang Dynasty also deliberately built a continuous Great Wall in the north and sent large troops to garrison it all year round.
The purpose is to resist the Sirius clan.
In the following years, although the Sirius tribe made frequent attacks, they were unable to cause any serious damage to the Tang Dynasty.
In recent years, the Sirius clan has rarely taken the initiative to attack the Tang Dynasty.
It seemed that the two sides had calmed down just like that.
But I didn't expect it.
Just last night.
The Sirius tribe has invaded.
And it was an unprecedented large-scale invasion.
The northern border wall was breached, and the 800,000 northern troops were beaten to pieces and could only fight on their own.
The biggest trouble is that a hundred thousand wolf cavalry from the Sirius tribe has already rushed to Luoxia Pass.
Once Luoxia Pass is lost.
Then the Zijin Pass behind will be undefendable and become an isolated city.
Zijin Pass is the last gateway to the North.
Therefore, these two barriers must be maintained.
Otherwise, the portal to the north will be opened, the Sirius clan will march in, and the country of Tang Dynasty will fall into an unprecedented crisis.
That's why Li Tianmin sent someone to wait for Ye Qingyun outside the city gate.
I hope Ye Qingyun can make suggestions for Datang to solve this crisis.
Ye Qingyun didn't expect that the matter would be so serious.
I thought things were going smoothly in the Tang Dynasty, but war suddenly broke out.
Caught no one off guard.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Luoxia Pass has not been lost yet. As long as more reinforcements are sent to defend Luoxia Pass and repel the Sirius tribe, the danger can be turned into safety."
Ye Qingyun said this.
Li Tianmin nodded, "I think so too, but I'm afraid that at Luoxiaguan
,already"
The words have not yet fallen.
An Imperial Guard hurriedly broke in.
"Urgent border report!"
He held a jade slip in his hand and presented it with a look of panic on his face.
When everyone present heard the emergency report and looked at the faces of the imperial guards, their hearts suddenly sank. .??.
I'm afraid the worst has happened.
The jade slip was presented to Li Tianmin.
When the latter saw it, he immediately crushed the jade slip into pieces.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Ye Qingyun asked quickly.
"Luoxia Pass has been lost."
Li Tianmin said in a deep voice.
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were shocked and turned pale.
"Oh my God! How could it be lost so quickly?"
"Luoxia Pass has a total of 130,000 defenders. How come it was lost in less than half a day?"
"Could it be that the military report was wrong?"
Apparently, the courtiers were so surprised that they did not believe this military report.
