Chapter 517 The Change of Dingzhou (2)

Qingfeng is not in Dingzhou, which makes Qingcheng feel a little worried. If Qingfeng is still in Dingzhou City, Qingcheng has many ways to deal with her, and she has done a lot of preparations for Qingfeng, but she It just happened to be gone, which made Qingcheng punch with all his strength, but the feeling of hitting the empty space was so uncomfortable.

Yuan Fang once warned her that in Dingzhou, this woman was the one he had to be most careful of. Qingfeng, who even Yuan Fang was afraid of, had to make Qingcheng worry. Where did she go?What did she do?Whether he left by chance, or intentionally, if it was intentional, then the matter would be serious.

But before Qingcheng figured it out, he was attracted by the fierce debate in the meeting hall.The reason for the debate is simple. Feng Guo suggested that Dingzhou should immediately organize a large army to go to Shenzhou to grind Zeng Luer's family into powder. If the reaction is quick, maybe Dingzhou's soldiers will be seen pressing down on the border. Therefore, Zeng and Lu must mobilize more troops to resist the Dingzhou army. The number of troops besieging the general will inevitably decrease, and it will even create a good opportunity for the general to break through.

This proposal has been responded by many officials, but more officials are against it.Most of the officials in Dingzhou were promoted by Li Qingjian, and they were very clear about Li Qing's ambitions. In order to deploy these chess pieces in the Central Plains, Dingzhou paid a great sacrifice. The loss is huge, not only the army, but also financial resources. If the army is withdrawn, the previous efforts will be paid for.

And it's not just a matter of wasted investment in the early stage. Abandoning these places means that Dingzhou will be in an extremely passive position in the future grand strategy. The failure of the ax strategy will make Luoyang forces form a direct and effective threat to Dingzhou , without these places, Dingzhou will be in a completely passive position.

"If there is no skin, there will be no hair!" Feng Guo stood in the middle of the hall impassionedly, and said loudly: "My lords, you are all marshals who have worked hard to become the leaders of today's party from humble beginnings. The commander-in-chief is in trouble, are you thinking about your own future? If there is no commander-in-chief, what future do we have in Dingzhou? Abandoning these places now, as long as the commander-in-chief can be rescued, then in the future under the leadership of the commander-in-chief , we can still regain the lost place, have you forgotten how we got from this mere place in Chongxian County to where we are today?" Feng Guo stared at all the people in the hall and shouted: "You want to be ungrateful Do you want to put the commander to death?"

There was a silence in the hall, Lu Yiming was thoughtful, but Shang Haibo's thoughts flew to another place at this time, he was still thinking hard about why Qingfeng disappeared?
"This discussion is inappropriate!" A senior official of the Marshal's Mansion stood up and objected: "General Feng Guo, according to the information from the Military Intelligence Department, the total number of enemy troops surrounding the Marshal is Lu, and the two thieves Zeng have nearly 20 horses. In addition to the rebellious Bai cavalry, the general was cut off from his way back and supplies, how long can the general last? And how long will it take for us to transfer back to the three main divisions from Quan, Jin, and? Just gather these The army, even with the efficiency of our Dingzhou, can't do it without a month. Can the commander support a month? At that time, our army has assembled and set off, but the commander's side has already been defeated. Not only can we not rescue the commander in chief, but we also lost the ax strategy that the commander-in-chief painstakingly crafted, and we have nothing to do with the bamboo basket!"

Feng Guosen cast his strict eyes on the official, "Do you dare to curse the commander in chief?"

The official was unfazed. "I'm just stating the truth."

With a bang, Feng Guo drew his saber out of its sheath, jumped up and slashed at the official, "If you want to kill the commander-in-chief, I will slash you first!"

There was a sudden chaos in the hall, and several people around Feng Guo rushed forward, hugged him, and shouted: "General, please be safe and don't be impatient!"

"General, calm down!"

Feng Guoji, who was hugged, pointed and cursed: "Wei Wenjun, you white-eyed wolf, do you want to watch the commander die?"

The official named Wei Wenjun held a chair in his hand and shouted, "Fart, I just don't want to let the commander-in-chief's hard work go down the drain. Everyone knows the current situation. The commander-in-chief is in a dead end. Can he come back? That depends on whether a miracle can happen. If that is the case, why should we bury the commander-in-chief's foundation? Even if the commander-in-chief is gone, he still has two sons! Some of us have opportunities for revenge, and some of us have opportunities to kill Nuo Qia, Zeng Qingfeng, and Lu Fengchun Shredded to pieces!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall fell silent. The person who can sit here is not an outstanding person. How can he fail to see the truth and not know that Wei Wenjun is telling the truth?But this truth is not something everyone can tell. Whether to save the commander-in-chief is a question of testing everyone's loyalty to Li Qing. No one dares to speak out like Wei Wenjun.

Everyone's eyes turned to Shang Haibo, to Lu Yiming, and to Qingcheng who was sitting at the head with a livid face. The chaos in the hall frightened the two children in the maid's arms, and they opened their mouths and burst into tears.

Wei Wenjun blurted out just now in excitement, but at this moment his face was pale, he looked around, and fell to his knees on the ground with a bang.Qingcheng stood up slowly, walked into the hall, but knelt down to everyone, "My lords, Qingcheng please, for the sake of these two children, stop arguing, Jishi and Xinyi I can’t live without my father, Qingcheng, please, everyone, call back the three main divisions and go to Shenzhou, even if there is only a sliver of hope, we must do our best!"

Everyone's minds were blank, Feng Guo brandished the steel knife and shouted: "What else do you have to say, do you want Madam to kneel here all the time?"

At this time, Shang Haibo came back to his senses, took a step forward, and helped Qingcheng up, "Madam, please get up, the commander will definitely save him, Madam, please rest assured!"

Turning around, he reprimanded Feng Guodao: "General Feng, in the meeting hall, no matter what Master Wei said, it is also a public mind. Of course, different opinions must be allowed to exist. Otherwise, why discuss? What's more, what he said is not unreasonable?"

Feng Guo froze, he could scold Wei Wenjun, but he had to respect Shang Haibo, panting heavily, "Joining the army, do you want to give up rescuing the general?"

Shang Haibo glared at him, "What nonsense, the commander-in-chief is of course going to save him." Turning his head, "Wei Wenjun, don't you have a brain? You are talking nonsense, get out of here and reflect!"

Wei Wenjun got up, glanced at Shang Haibo gratefully, and staggered out of the conference hall.

Lu Yiming walked up to Shang Haibo, "Sir Shang, the current situation really can't be both, what should I do? I am not as good as you in military affairs, you still need to pay attention? If you really want to withdraw the three main divisions, I will Here we are doing our best to prepare all the supplies, I am afraid that it will take at least a month as Wei Wenjun said."

Shang Haibo took a deep breath, looked at Qingcheng, and said: "Madam, it is not feasible to withdraw the three main divisions!" As soon as these words were spoken, anger appeared on Feng Guo's face, and Qingcheng bit her head even more. Gritting his teeth: "What does Mr. Shang mean? Are you just sitting back and watching the commander-in-chief?"

Shang Haibo shook his head and said: "The commander-in-chief can't wait that long, what I mean is, first send a cavalry from Wang Qinian's Qi Nian division, and then call a part of the cavalry from the Hongbu Fusen to gather [-] cavalry. Let's rush to help first, and then we will discuss in the long run!"

"The barbarians have already rebelled, how can you trust them!" Feng Guo said sharply.

Lu Yiming raised his hand to stop him and said, "General Feng, the Red Tribe is still different from other barbarians. It is enough to show that the Red Tribe can still be trusted by the rebellious Bai tribe this time. As for the three main divisions, it is really not easy to move lightly!"

Shang Haibo continued: "Ma'am, if the mountain breeze is in Jinzhou, if we withdraw, Qu Yongjie, who is entrenched in Minzhou at this time, will immediately take advantage of the vacancy, take back Jinzhou, and cut off our connection with Yizhou. Lost, Quanzhou is hard to protect, and Yizhou is even more lonely. The Li family of Yizhou is a relative of the commander. If Yizhou is lost, no one can bear the responsibility when the commander returns. This is one of them. At this time, it is not only the task of guarding Bingzhou, but they also have the intention of being Youyan's backing. Once Lu Dalin's troops withdraw, Luoyang will definitely attack Youyan with all his strength. This is our main grain-producing area, so there must be no loss. This is the second.”

Qingcheng's face became more and more ugly, Shang Haibo's statement was tantamount to directly rejecting Feng Guo's proposal. "What about the handsome man?"

"Let these [-] cavalry go out first, and then wait for the next step of information to come back before making a decision!" Shang Haibo sighed, "Military and national affairs must never be hasty, it not only concerns the interests of tens of thousands of people. Lives are even more related to tens of millions of people in Dingzhou!"

In fact, most of the officials in the hall think so. Whether the commander-in-chief can be rescued is hard to say now, but if you give up the above places, you will directly give up the dream of Dingzhou to fight for world hegemony. But no one dares to say these words, it is very possible If both ends fail, if they express it as bluntly as Wei Wenjun, what will they do after the commander returns?At that time, I was afraid that the commander-in-chief would settle accounts in autumn!When my life is in danger, you are still thinking about your bright future. No master will be happy, even if he knows that you are doing the right thing.

Since Shang Haibo had spoken and Lu Yiming did not object, it was basically a final decision. Many officials were determined, and they all agreed, and then walked out of the hall with Qingcheng and Feng Guo's faces pale.

"Madam, please stay!" Shang Haibo said suddenly, looking at Qingcheng who was furiously turning around and about to leave.Qingcheng turned around with a sullen face, not knowing what else Shang Haibo wanted to say, the matter has come to this point, it seems that he can only use force.

"Old Lu will wait!" Shang Haibo said again.

Everyone in the hall dispersed, even Feng Guo left, the whole city was under martial law, and he needed to arrange the deployment of the local garrison.

"Ma'am, what I said just now in front of everyone was just superficial reasons. The reason why I didn't really dare to deploy the three main divisions is actually not because of this." Shang Haibo said suddenly.

Lu Yiming was stunned, Qingcheng was also a little dazed, what does Shang Haibo mean by this?
