When Wu Ling heard Mandatu's words, his face turned very ugly. At this moment, Mandatu spoke again.
"Wuling, I just said that we will not capture the great cause, but what we capture will naturally be in our hands. This is one of the reasons why we do this!"
"Seriously, now that you are here, with Aguda leading the army in Huangting, with 80,000 people, you can conquer at least three states!"
"He is marching very fast. I am afraid that only ten days will be enough!"
"But...what if we capture three states? We can't bear it, so we might as well get one state!"
"And this state is not just about whether you are willing or not, you cannot hold it, and we will not let you take it away!"
"So... what we have to do is to capture this place and take possession of it!"
Mandatu smiled and spoke, but he had a chance to win!
When Wu Ling heard this, he also knew that this situation was probably true!
The great cause is in turmoil. To be honest, even he doesn't know how to deal with it!
Wu Ling couldn't say a word, his eyes were full of depression, helplessness and pain.
Mandatu laughed, looked at Wu Ling and said calmly: "Wu Ling, the time is almost up. You can withdraw your troops now and go back to discuss it with your queen."
"We don't ask for much, just a continent."
Mandatu smiled, then stood up, returned to the men and horses, and finally returned to the military camp.
Wu Ling was also very distressed and had no choice but to go back.
However, Wu Ling's soldiers asked Wu Ling with puzzled faces.
"General, why don't we start fighting?"
"Why did they withdraw?"
Wu Ling sighed and said all this. After hearing this, all the soldiers were stunned!
"What!"
"So that's what they had in mind!"
"We...we really have no choice. General Huo is just a loser. He must be lost now!"
"That's right... Aguda, the king of Huangting Tunan, was a fierce general at that time!"
All the generals sighed, their eyes extremely depressed, obviously they also realized the horror of this matter!
"General Wu, should we report back to the Queen and inform them of this matter?"
Everyone spoke, and Wu Ling nodded. At this point, he could only tell the queen the news.
The message passed by flying pigeons in Wuling reached Shangjing.
And the news of Liangzhou's fall also reached Shangjing!
The queen saw these two reports one after another, and her face was extremely gloomy!
"Desolate Court, Barbarian...very good!"
Bai Yanfei was sitting on the dragon chair with a cold look in her eyes. This incident obviously made her really angry!
Many ministers also sighed. Many of them had guessed that this would happen.
Of course, their guesses were not so accurate, but due to the internal chaos, Huang Ting and the barbarians would definitely not give up this opportunity and would definitely take advantage of the chaos!
"Ministers, do you have anything to say about the current situation?"
Bai Yanfei sat on the dragon chair and watched the ministers speak.
"Empress, when you asked Wuling to attack the Three Continents, we disagreed. In this situation, what can we say?"
"That's right, I have been in this position for so many years and I have never been in this kind of situation!"
"From Taizu, Taizong, to Qianqing, and then to Xinglong, nine dynasties have passed, and they have never lost a single bit of territory!"
These ministers stood up one after another, but the meaning behind their words was that they were clearly complaining about Bai Yanfei.
Of course, among them there are people who are really working for the great cause, and there are also people who are arranged by the Sheng family.
All in all, what they said was really unpleasant!
Hearing this, Bai Yanfei was so angry that she flew into a rage!
"Hmph, if his Sheng family hadn't disrupted the great cause, would we be in the current situation?"
"Daye Pure Land, ceding territory and claiming kingship, occupying three continents, and splitting the land. If it hadn't been like this for his Sheng family, how could Daye have risked losing its territory!"
"My lords, if you are pushing all this kind of thing to me, you are really my minister!"
Bai Yanfei shouted angrily. After saying this, all the ministers present lost their composure.
Of course they knew that what Bai Yanfei said was not wrong.
The Sheng family was split apart, and it had to be dealt with in the first place. We couldn't let the Sheng family go on like this.
However, no one thought that Barbarian and Huang Ting would cooperate!
And it works so fast, achieving this effect in just a few days!
This is something no one has ever thought of!
At this time, Right Prime Minister Bao Qingshi stood up and couldn't help but said: "Queen, Huangting and barbarians came one after another in order to each occupy a continent, and... never give up, even if we want to capture it
, I’m afraid we don’t have the right manpower!”
"Furthermore... even if we fight separately, there is still King Pingle here..."
"We are really suffering from internal and external troubles now..."
Bao Qingshi’s words summed up this matter very well!
Now we are in a situation of internal and external troubles!
It is really difficult to break this game!
"This time our border army has a total of 50,000 soldiers, 30,000 of whom are enslaved, and the remaining 20,000 are all defeated soldiers. If the border is lost, there really are not that many soldiers left."
Bao Qingshi spoke again, and the words he said made all the ministers present sigh deeply.
Indeed!
Now in this situation, I really don’t know what to do!
At this time, Yang Fengguo, the left prime minister, suddenly said: "Empress, although we have lost a lot of soldiers this time, we are not unable to fight. The only thing is that we are missing a strong commander!"
"I... highly recommend Wang Yuan. He is a man of great talent and economics in the world. If he and Wu Ling can suppress the rebellion and judge the barbarians, they may be able to avert this disaster!"
After Yang Fengguo finished speaking, everyone was stunned for a moment.
But Queen Bai Yanfei’s eyes lit up!
yes!
Wang Yuan is so talented, if he becomes the coach, he will definitely defeat the enemy!
Right Prime Minister Bao Qingshi rarely spoke out to refute this time!
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but he knows that if something happens to the great cause, then too many rights will be useless!
certainly……
Another reason why he didn't refute in words was that even if Wang Yuan came, it would be difficult to handle!
After all, there are too few soldiers that Daye can send out!
The barbarians gave out 50,000, and Huang Ting gave out 80,000!
This is just the surface!
If they really want to occupy these two continents, they will probably send more troops!
According to Bao Qingshi's calculation, they are at least 100,000 each!
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses!
That adds up to two hundred thousand!
Even if Wu Ling and Wang Yuan are brave enough, they still need to have enough troops!
At least one person needs 70,000 to resolve this crisis!
but……
With 140,000 troops and horses, it is impossible to achieve the great cause we have today!
