Chapter 171 Unsuitable
In the imperial study room, the atmosphere was dull.

Huang Taishi was worried about the military situation, but at the same time, he was relieved for Huang Yi.

There is no Huang Yi's name in the military newspaper.

In Huang Taishi's view, this is a good thing.

Huang Yi is a soldier, not an ordinary soldier. If his name appears in the military newspaper, there are only two situations.

One is meritorious deeds, the front line reports back and asks for credit for him, and the other is that he is injured, and even...

Huang Taishi agreed to Huang Yi to join the army, because Huang Yi has his ideals and pursuits, and as an elder, he cannot suppress his children's desire to move forward.

But to say that Huang Yili really expects how much military exploits he will make and how many achievements he will make, Grand Master Huang has never thought about that.

Be an ordinary soldier, go healthy and healthy, and you must return with your tail.

That's fine.

As for the battle situation...

Grand Master Huang glanced at the faces of his colleagues, and there were four words written on everyone's faces: Disadvantaged.

The emperor hasn't come yet, and the current situation of the war, these courtiers, can't just talk about frustration.

Who wouldn't be bad-mouthing?
Taishi Huang really wanted to sing bad news, he was able to write poems and lyrics on the spot, it was as miserable as if Xiliang was beaten to the capital tomorrow.

This kind of emotion is not only useless, but also harmful.

From the emperor to the courtiers, everyone is in panic, how can we do this?

Grand Master Huang stroked his beard and said: "Xiliang intends to fight us this time, but Yushakou falls, and we are trapped in Feimen Pass. There will indeed be many problems."

Shi Shangshu said: "The grand master is right. The army is trapped in the pass, and what is the situation outside the pass, the information we can grasp is less, and the vision is hindered. We have to worry about Xiliang's sneak attack at night, and the pressure on the scouts has become great. "

"That's the reason," Taishi Huang said here, and changed the subject, "After I retreated to the court earlier, I heard a few words from someone, and I took it very seriously. Boy Lin just arrived, and General Feng, who is in charge of the three armies, is still on the way. In fact, We have not yet engaged the enemy head-on.

This setback is not a good thing, but when Feng Zhong sits at Feimenguan, leads the army, and stabilizes the morale of the army, we can fight out from Feimenguan again.

That's when we're going to see. "

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Grand Master Huang's words were intended to boost morale, but at the same time, they also made sense.

People like them must not be in a hurry. If they are in a hurry, Qianbulang looks anxious...

The front is still fighting, and the rear is moaning, what is this?

"Speaking of it," Dong Shilang smiled wryly, "It's been too long, and I almost forgot such a simple truth."

When Shi Shangshu heard it, he said in passing: "That's right, even in the past, there were more victories and fewer losses..."

Just as he was talking, footsteps came.

Fan Taibao simply coughed and choked twice.

Shi Shangshu came to his senses and stopped talking.

The emperor stepped in, and Eunuch Xu followed behind.

He had already changed his court clothes, but the emperor's expression was not much better than when he was in the early court. He sat down after the big case and asked, "Have you seen it? Do you have any thoughts?"

Fan Taibao sorted out his thoughts, carefully chose his words, and expressed Huang Taishi's meaning once again.

"The other party attacked first and took some advantage," Fan Taibao said, "The two armies are at war, and it is normal for the two armies to communicate with each other. After Feng Zhong arrives and reorganizes, he will move forward.

Right now, we should focus more on materials and continue to transport grain and grass to Feimenguan to ensure smooth flow and speed.

With constant military supplies, the front will naturally become more stable. "

After Fan Taibao finished speaking, the others also added some opinions.

The emperor looked pale, leaned on the back of the chair, and said: "I also think the same way.

Temporary setbacks are normal in wartime.

I didn't talk about this in the early court, because I was worried that some people would be anxious, worried about this, and afraid of that.

Winning or losing is not a matter of time, everyone knows it well, and just continue to do things later, that's all. "

Everyone stood up and agreed.

Exiting from the imperial study, Grand Master Huang walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

Fan Taibao walked side by side with him, and said: "Let me tell you, you understand all the logical things. You were so dark before, but after all, you are still worried about your grandson."

Master Huang snorted lightly.

Being told the truth, my face hurts a bit.

However, it is normal to worry about grandchildren.

Huang Taishi said: "The Taibao is also a sensible person, and he has no children and grandchildren to go to the battlefield. What were you doing with a black face?"

Fan Taibao gave Huang Taishi a sideways glance: "Why else? I am worried about the emperor."

"The emperor was angry for a while," Taishi Huang said slowly, "how could he not understand the military situation, and when the anger subsides, doesn't he understand the priorities?"

Fan Taibao chuckled and didn't answer this question.

Whether you understand it or not, the emperor must understand it.

Accepting it or not is another matter.

If not, why would he cough to remind Shi Shangshu to swallow half of what he said?
When explaining the situation, he didn't think about it, and swallowed "not every expedition will be overwhelming".

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were many battles, big and small, and it was difficult to win and lose, but there were still some that were truly unstoppable and invincible. Wherever the army went, the enemy was overwhelmed.

In less than a year, two states and six prefectures, is this the result of a tug-of-war?
That is sweeping, it is destroying.

During that year, the Jingzhong Military Daily was numb.

When I opened it, I saw that the tens of thousands of soldiers who surrendered in several cities and towns were all like this.

It was precisely this battle situation that allowed Da Zhou to quickly walk out of the haze of the death of the former commander of the army, that is, Lin Fan's grandfather Lin Han, and made Lin Xuan, who succeeded him, completely stand firm.

In the next few years, Lin Xuan's Western Expedition, although there was no such swift and violent victory, he took back the lost ground from the people of Xiliang little by little, so that Da Zhou could firmly grasp the Feimen Pass.

After Lin Xuan passed away, there were fewer and fewer wars in the court.

In recent years, those small troubles, Fan Taibao said, two or thirty years ago, what a big deal!

Well now, a sudden defeat came.

The old ones, who have not seen failure for a long time, are not used to it; the young ones, who have no experience at all, are even more confused.

Not only winning or losing the battle, but talking before the emperor, because of the lack of some "workers", he and Grand Master Huang are a little bit at a loss today, let alone other people.

The courtiers are like this, and so is the emperor.

That's why Fan Taibao didn't mention "the momentum is like a broken bamboo", he really mentioned it...

Fan Taibao thought that the emperor might not be able to calm down for a while, after all, failure is always ugly, even if it is only for a while.

"You have to get your mood right," Fan Taibao sighed, "Teacher is not here, the two of us, right?"

Master Huang blushed.

Singing the scene where the Tai Tuo chased the emperor to correct him?

It's not that he's self-effacing, he's really not good at it.

"I think there is no need to be so pessimistic..." Taishi Huang finished speaking, seeing Fan Taibao squinting at him, he had no choice but to say, "The battle situation is still under control for now."

Fan Taibao then withdrew his gaze.

After all, Grand Master Huang agreed that once the battle situation is unstable, the old grand master will go and sing a bad face.

　Two more.
