Chapter 1568 What if we can’t win?
He knew that the Ming Dynasty was difficult to defeat, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Counting time, it has been more than a month. How is the battle going?
Is it a win or a victory, a back and forth, or is it one-sided?
If there is a back and forth, he can accept it.

If it's one-sided, he.
"Go and call all the assistant ministers!" Li Shilong said while suppressing his anger.

The big dog left Tai Chi Palace in a hurry.

On the way, he was thinking about how to use this information.

Dagan's water is not turbid enough, he should mix it to make it more turbid.

Daming is really awesome.

No, it’s not the Ming Dynasty that’s great, it’s the Qin Mo that’s great.

When he looked at the Supreme Emperor, his face turned purple with anger just now. If he was angry a few more times, he would really be angry to death.

The Supreme Emperor is not in good health, and it would be difficult to endure the winter without the oxygen bottle.

There was some resentment in his heart.

Damn Qin Mo, you are already a traitor, why do you still care about the emperor?
Wouldn't it be better to let him die?
With this in mind, he hurried to Zhongshu Province and called six assistant ministers over.

These days, everyone is under a lot of pressure.

A large amount of supplies were dispatched to the Western Region, and everyone was staring there.

Especially for Li Xin, rumors have never stopped. Last time he was almost beaten to death, but this time the rumors are getting stronger.

Some people even say that the people who attacked the Ming envoys were the dead men he raised, with the purpose of framing the Ming Dynasty.

Firstly, by raiding the emperor, and secondly by triggering a war, he would have a chance to reach the top.

He has kept a low profile enough, but the rumors still can't stop.

Was it that bastard who wanted to kill him?

This year, he has aged more than ten years.

That was all. What really made him helpless was that the Supreme Emperor was indifferent and did not even allow him to see the emperor alone when he was reporting to the emperor.

This clearly shows distrust.

Under this pressure, the idea of ​​​​escape from Daqian came up again.

But it was just an idea, because he was put under surveillance a few months ago.

There were many strangers around the Duke's Mansion.

Even when Lin Rong left the house, someone was following her.

He didn't know if it was the arrangement of the Supreme Emperor, and he didn't dare to ask.

But under this kind of surveillance, he was depressed, even angry.

But after the anger, I felt bored and helpless.

If he shows the slightest sign of betraying Da Gan, those people will never be lenient.

Entering Tai Chi Palace, everyone greets them.

Li Xin couldn't see the Emperor's face clearly, but felt that he was glaring at him angrily.

"Li Sixun was defeated. Liu Gui died in the battle. The casualties exceeded 9. In half a month, Liu Gui's body will be returned to the capital. What do you want to say?"

Hearing this, the six of them were shocked.

"How many people were killed or injured on the Ming side?" Gongsun Wuji suppressed the shock in his heart and asked.

"Trivial!" Li Shilong's voice lacked any warmth.

"How is this possible!" Gongsun Wuji said in disbelief: "The opponent has less than 20 people, but we have 40. How can it be possible that the casualties are minimal?"

"Circuit it yourselves!"

Everyone began to circulate emergency reports, and then they understood why our own side suffered heavy casualties, while the enemy's casualties were minimal.

Ming Dynasty's weapons are better than Da Gan's.

The opponent's base is built extremely solidly.

Even the ship is larger than the treasure ship, and it is an iron ship, using the latest coal-fired steam ship.Even under no wind conditions, the speed is extremely fast.

Daqian also had steam ships and could build iron ships, but it could not build huge iron ships like the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone was silent. Nearly a quarter of the damage was lost. This was a huge defeat.

The blow to military morale and morale was extremely huge.

What now?

Dead fight?

Or talk about peace?

Until the final results come out, who dares to say?
"You are all mute, why don't you speak?" Li Shilong smashed his fist on the document, and his roar echoed in Tai Chi Palace.

This hysterical sound made everyone present shudder.

"Your Majesty, temporary victory or defeat cannot prove anything. We will win in the end!" Yu Boshi said hurriedly.

Immediately afterwards, everyone expressed their condolences.

Li Shilong felt better now, "How long will it take for Yuchi Nobuxiong to arrive in the Western Regions?"

"We'll be there in half a month at most." Li Cungong replied.

"Come up with a feasible method, and arrange supplies. In addition, hide the casualties for the time being. Let Li Xin greet Liu Gui's body when it comes back.

When the time comes, you can discuss what kind of posthumous seal should be given to him! "Li Shilong waved his hands impatiently, "Everyone, get down!" "

Several people looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything, so they had to say goodbye and leave.

After leaving Tai Chi Palace, Tang Jian said anxiously: "How could 9 casualties happen so quickly, and the Ming people are so strong?

If there were more casualties, wouldn't this battle be completely lost? ? "

"Crow's Mouth!" Li Daoyuan scolded: "Can't you say something auspicious?"

Tang Jian smiled awkwardly, "Don't blame Prince Heng for being quick to speak!"

"Li Sixun's letter was very detailed. If the Ming Dynasty's weapons had not suppressed us, it wouldn't have been so tragic." Li Cungong analyzed: "But we still have some advantages. They have our support behind them. At least the sky is behind them. , if there is anything missing, you can always add it.

The Ming Dynasty is different. If there are any deficiencies in those three bases, it will be very difficult to supplement them.

As Gongsun said, temporary victory or defeat is nothing, victory must belong to us! "

Others will listen to this kind of thing.

The decline has been obvious, and it is not easy to reverse the decline.

Once Liu Gui's body returns to Beijing, the blow to Daqian will not be as big as usual.

Moreover, now that the Emperor is emotionally unstable and in poor condition, they are actually very worried.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's find a way to send more supplies. I think this war will last for several years." Yu Boshi said: "Fortunately, the imperial court has accumulated some wealth in these years, otherwise, I really can’t help being so big.”

Several people nodded.

Then the people dispersed, and Gongsun Wuji walked to Li Xin, "You have been in a bad state recently. What happened to you?"

"What else could it be because of?" Li Xin said a little dejectedly, "Just those things!"

"The rumors defeated you?"

"Why are there just rumors?" Li Xin looked at Gongsun Wuji, "My house is already under surveillance."

Gongsun Wuji was stunned, "Seriously?"

"Really!" Li Xin said with a bitter smile: "I have asked for my resignation many times, but the Emperor did not agree. Since His Majesty was assassinated, I can no longer report to His Majesty alone.

Uncle, you know me, do you think it’s me? "

Gongsun Wuji sighed and patted Li Xin on the shoulder. He didn't know what to say, but comforted him: "Calm down, everything will be fine when we win this battle."

"What if we can't win?" Li Xin asked quietly.
